With the third anniversary of former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s (安倍晋三) assassination approaching, a lecture was held in Tokyo by Jun Takada (高田純), Professor Emeritus at Sapporo Medical University, calling for a full investigation into the truth of the incident. Professor Takada, through audio analysis of video footage taken before and after Abe was shot, revealed that a sound resembling a different gun was recorded between the two shots fired by suspect Tetsuya Yamagami (山上徹也) with his homemade firearm.

Takada reported these findings to then-Prime Minister Fumio Kishida (岸田文雄) but received no response. One must ask: is there something inconvenient about acknowledging a scientific analysis that cannot be dismissed as a mere “conspiracy theory”? Doesn’t that in itself smell like a conspiracy?

Participating in the lecture as a commentator was Hiroyuki Uno (宇野博幸), a former police officer and expert in stop-and-search procedures, who also authored Proactive Checkpoints and Stop-and-Search to Get Results (Haruyoshi Publishing). Uno remarked,

“If we had recreated Yamagami’s homemade gun and tested whether it actually had lethal capability, we’d know right away. But there’s no indication such an experiment was ever done.”

Uno also expressed his frustration, saying,

“If the police had stopped and questioned Yamagami – who was acting suspiciously while carrying a shoulder bag – the incident could have been prevented.”

However, according to Uno, the police nowadays tend to be less proactive with stop-and-search than in the past.

Regarding the inadequate security arrangements, Uno noted,

“Even though Abe was a former prime minister, beefing up his security would quickly trigger complaints from leftists.”

It seems beyond doubt that the ones who lent a hand in Abe’s assassination were the anti-Abe forces known as the ‘Abe-gā’ (chronic Abe-blamers).
