Abe was invested in the Japan Self Defense Force (click here) rather than the US drafted constitution which dates back to WWII. 

l. Russia and China have been putting stress on Japan since Russia invaded Ukraine.

2. Is the Japanese internet carrying references to hate? I do not doubt China thinks nothing about increasing tensions in more than sending it's navy to harass the Japanese islands.

3. There is always tensions between Japan and China (click here).

July 3, 2022

Seoul, South Korea — North Korea (click here) on Sunday slammed the United States, South Korea and Japan for pushing to boost their trilateral military cooperation targeting the North, warning that the move is prompting urgent calls for the country to reinforce its military capability.

North Korea has long cited what it calls hostility by the United States and its allies as a reason to pursue a nuclear program. Sunday's statement comes as North Korea's neighbors say the country is ready for its first nuclear test in five years as part of its provocative run of weapons tests this year.

"The prevailing situation more urgently calls for building up the country's defense to actively cope with the rapid aggravation of the security environment of the Korean Peninsula and the rest of the world," the North Korean Foreign Ministry said in a statement, without elaborating how it would boost its military capacity....

It is not all bad, the Phillipines have been working with Japan to build a joint defense.

Japan and the Philippines (click here) agreed on Saturday to consider further expanding defence cooperation against a backdrop of regional tensions and Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

The meeting in Tokyo of the two Asian nations' foreign and defence ministers was the first in the "2+2" format between the key U.S. allies.

The two countries will look at potentially enhancing cooperative activity and sharing supplies, Japanese Foreign Minister Yoshimasa Hayashi said after the meeting....

These are the international tensions that might launch hate of Abe's politics. I hope is okay. They were saying something about a heart attack with/without the gun attack.

There is an enormous disruption in China by Typhoon Chaba (click here). There were tornadoes. Japan received a tropical storm that quickly reduced to subtropical (click here).

Fresh out of ideas as to what anyone would attempt murder of a very popular former Prime Minister.

I have no idea what it takes to end this danger to police.

When a city starts to put armor and bullet proof glass in their cars it gets expensive because the cars become heavy and they need different suspension. There is the issue of militarizing our law enforcement. It is not only expensive, it is duplicated by the National Guard. 

This is ridiculous.

Senator Durbin stated there is something like 5 million of these damn guns in the USA in private ownership. Then there is the report that American citizens own more guns than the USA military. The dynamics of this begins to challenge natonal security when there are White Supremacists emboldened by elected officials and an entire American political party.

Do you know how completely ridiculous and laughable it is to realize the Republican Party panders to violent groups in this country? It was due to happen. A clown like Trump would come along and entertain the American electorate just enough while FOX demonized Hillary Clinton to have him elected to president. It is completely laughable to realize the way it happened and how ego driven the elections have become. White Men are laughable!

5 million are a lot of very dangerous guns. Every American needs to ask themselves where we go from here because it cannot continue.

Today Derek Chauvin was sentenced in violation of George Floyd's civil rights (click here). 21 years is a significant sentence. It doesn't bring George Floyd back to his family or his community that loved him. For that Americans are profoundly sorry. I believe most of us are very sorry for all the injustice. The message is making it's way through. The more Americans are exposed to profound racism and hatred that kills men like Chauvin will go to prison.

Geroge Floyd will always be larger than life.

A little more than a year (click here) after former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin was found guilty of killing George Floyd, his counsel asked an appeals court to overturn his conviction.

Chauvin's attorney William Mohrman in the filing asked the Minnesota court of appeals to either reverse Chauvin's conviction, order a new trial in a new venue or have him be re-sentenced, citing a slew of issues with how the case was originally tried....

The officer was ambushed. That isn't even pursuit. It was a fake call. The officers that responded were going to die. One did with an assault weapon.

Americans have had enough of high powered weapons on the streets of our cities. Any city. A city that is impoverished. A city that is wealthy. We have had enough of this danger. 

All of us!

Rarely does Larry Courts Sr. answer calls from numbers he doesn't recognize. (click here) But on Wednesday night, he said something was telling him to pick up the phone.

On the other line, a woman was screaming hysterically. It was his son's partner on the Detroit police force. 

Loren Courts, his son, had been shot on duty on the city's west side....

..."He's my hero, my dude. I have so much respect for him," Courts told the Free Press at his Detroit home.

"God needed him more than we did down here — my arms are too short to box with God."

Courts was told his son was responding to a call of shots fired when he was himself shot by a suspect with a Draco, a semiautomatic, AK-style pistol....

Detroit Police Chief James E. White

Police Chief James White (click here) called on the justice system, lawmakers, and the public to help end gun violence and bring justice for the death of Detroit Police Officer Loren Courts, who he said was ambushed by a "murderer."

"It's getting old hearing what everyone is going to do," a frustrated White said, reiterating his praise for Courts, 40, and his partner, Amanda Hudgens, and declaring that the force was "devastated but not defeated."

Hudgens, he said, was prepared to die to try to save Courts.

Flanked by the department's top brass at police headquarters on Thursday, White said he didn't have the words to console Courts' family and described in more detail than the night before, a shootout in which, Ehmani Davis, a 19-year-old man, took aim at police.

He shot out his apartment window to do so....

Are they violating sanctions?!?!

It is an issue. They planned to kidnap and execute a governor. Republicans are a problem.

Who looks to violent groups for votes? It is an issue. January 6, 2021 resulted by that empowerment.

Get real.

The increased activity of recruitment in 2020 did not happen spontaneously, it was an election year and they had insurrection on their minds.

It was a rare look inside the strategic planning of an upstart neo-Nazi movement. (click here) 

In a video posted last summer on social media, Chris Hood, 23, the founder of the Nationalist Social Club - 131, a New England white nationalist collective, gave instructions to a 22-year-old UMass Lowell student named Liam MacNeil.

“If you’re in college you should be getting together with all the other guys on campus that think like you, circling all the frat parties and bullying the chicks that race mix and start dominating the party and take over the campus,” Hood said. “Same policy as out here [the street] but just do it on campus.”

“We can do that,” MacNeil responded. “Everyone knows where I am now, but they’re going to have to physically remove me. You know, they’re going to have to kick me out.”

Hood and MacNeil, now 23, are part of a tiny but growing group of white nationalists who have begun publicly announcing their presence across New England through a rising wave of racist and antisemitic demonstrations, attacks and vandalism. The groups appear to have escalated their activities in the wake of the Jan. 6, 2021, attempted insurrection in the U.S. Capitol, where members of these groups were present. It’s a rise that worries local law enforcement and community members, spurring them to respond.

In the wake of this weekend’s racially motivated murders in Buffalo — the latest among a series of hate-inspired mass shootings — experts on extremism say there is good reason to be concerned about the spread of neo-Nazism, racism and white ethnonationalism in New England.

Hate sprouts locally

In Massachusetts, the Anti-Defamation League counted 388 reported hate, extremism, antisemitism and terror incidents in 2021. Five years earlier, it tallied only 123 reported incidents. Much of this activity is graffiti or leafleting or other acts of racist propaganda. But some of it is violence....

The extremists groups have been emboldened by Trump. They are on the move.

Michael Moore is exactly correct. Crimo studied his victims and the response. He planned his get away, but, it is curious he left the gun behind. I guess it didn't fit under the dress as well as he thought.

How the Highland Park shooter (click here) understood the country he lived in, which allowed him to initially escape the massacre he created

I’ll say this about mass murderer Bobby Crimo. He knows that we are safe from the 51% of the population who doesn’t do mass murder. 99.9% of mass murderers are men. So he knew that the best way to escape his slaughter on Monday in Highland Park, Illinois, was to blend in with the terrorized crowd running for their lives — and to do so dressed as a “woman.“ Because no one would dare suspect he was the shooter because, well, he was a “woman.” He had dressed as a woman, even as he was up on the roof, wearing a skirt and makeup as he fired off his 70+ bullets....

This group is in Texas, but, recently there were recruiting pamphlets distributed in Massachusetts. The recruitment flyer was in a plastic bag with a rock in it. The flyers were probably distributed by car or van or truck.

Some residents in the San Antonio area (click here) woke up Sunday to find a smattering of anti-Black Lives Matter and white supremacist messages on their doorsteps.

Hundreds of the fliers were distributed around homes in Hollywood Park, Oak Haven Heights and Stone Oak and nearby communities. They are believed to have been distributed by members of 14First the Foundation, a self-described “pro white organization fighting for the white race,” in an effort to recruit like-minded followers and enlarge their ranks, Hollywood Park Police Chief Shad Prichard said.

“We are in fact in a war for our people,” read one of the fliers, which led with a swastika at the top. Other fliers denigrated the Black Lives Matter movement, attacked Jewish people and invoked Adolf Hitler....

Masschusetts had the largest number of flyer distribution in 2020. This march was unauthorized. The Mayor and Council have held closed door meetings with law enforcement regarding these violent extremist groups.

Members of the white supremacist group Patriot Front (click here) marched through downtown Boston Saturday afternoon, according to officials, while Boston police said they had a report that members of the group attacked a Black man near Copley Square.

Dressed in khaki pants, navy T-shirts, and wearing white neck gaiters covering most of their faces, sunglasses, and baseball caps, the marchers were videotaped in well-known spots along the Freedom Trail. Some of the participants held shields, carried Patriot Front flags, and a banner reading, “Reclaim America,” as they walked in step with a snare drum. The organization published four videos of the march on Telegram, a messaging app, with captions that said they were in Boston for the Fourth of July....

Young men in the USA are targets for these violent groups. To date, USA intelligence has not sought to dismantle the web access to these groups. Congress needs to address this ENORMOUS PROBLEM PARENTS DON'T HAVE CONTROL OVER. The young men recruitment begins early at the age of 13. If the Patriot Act is not sufficient to end this threat to American lives, then the legislation must be passed and the FBI needs to end this threat to young American minds.
