ECONOMIC REVITALIZATION MINISTER RESIGNS AFTER UNIFICATION CHURCH SCRUTINY

Oct. 25 06:49 am JST Oct. 25 | 06:49 am JST
55 Comments


TOKYO

A Japanese minister resigned on Monday following allegations over his ties to
the Unification Church, which is under renewed scrutiny after the assassination
of former prime minister Shinzo Abe.

Daishiro Yamagiwa, minister for economic revitalization, said he did not want
the allegations to "affect the parliamentary debate", without naming the church.

Last week Prime Minister Fumio Kishida ordered a government probe into the
group, which has been in the spotlight because the man accused of killing Abe in
July was reportedly motivated by resentment against it.

The sect's Japan chapter has been accused of pressuring adherents to make hefty
donations and blamed for child neglect among members.

The church, officially known as the Family Federation for World Peace and
Unification, has denied wrongdoing, but a parade of former members have gone
public with criticism of its practices.

Members of the church are sometimes referred to as Moonies after Korean founder
Sun Myung Moon, who died in 2012.

Yamagiwa has been under fire in parliament following local media reports about
his alleged ties to the group -- partly because he appeared in a group photo in
2019 with Hak Ja Han, the wife of founder Moon.

The politician had confirmed it was him in the image, but said in parliament on
Monday that his memory about "the photo with her... is unclear".

He has also previously said he joined an event organized by the church in 2018.

The politician said Monday he planned to stay on as a lawmaker.

"I deeply regret that my attendance at several meetings of the organization has
resulted in giving credit to the said organization," he said.

"After this was pointed out to me by an outside party, I had to follow up with
explanations. As a result, it caused trouble for the government."

Kishida said Monday he accepted Yamagiwa's resignation and would announce a
replacement on Tuesday.

The government's approval ratings have plummeted to 38 percent, according to the
latest poll by public broadcaster NHK, after revelations about the church's
links with top politicians.

The investigation could lead to a dissolution order, which would see the church
lose its status as a tax-exempt religious organization, though it could still
continue to operate.

Only two religious groups in Japan have ever received such an order, reports
said, one of which was the Aum Shinrikyo cult that carried out the 1995 sarin
attack on the Tokyo metro.

The other is a group that defrauded members.

Me too but until there's a single, unified opposition party in Japan like Labour

The first sentence is misleading:

Corrected:

A Japanese minister resigned on Monday from his position as Economic
Revitalization Minister but still maintains his elected position as a member of
the National House of Representatives for Kanagawa.

> Daishiro Yamagiwa, minister for economic revitalization, said he did not want

As someone still in the House of Representatives, he will still "affect the

I'm not for this church but unless they are going to go over every donation with

I think the crux of the problem is money. LDP politicians have hoarded up piles
of cash over the generations, mostly by dubious means, and it costs so much to
run as an election candidate that not many outside their sleazy little caste can
compete with them. Opposition parties can't help much with campaign funding, so
no one party can field as many candidates as the LDP or, QED, win a majority by
themselves. This means collaboration with other parties they have little in
common with ideologically, and compromising on their election manifestos so much
that no one trusts what they say. Throw a few billion yen at the CDPJ and things
might change.

> "I deeply regret that my attendance at several meetings of the organization

What does he think happens when a serving lawmaker attends several meetings with
an organisation? The ignorance, or sheer contempt this guy has for the Japanese
public, is staggering.

I notice he doesn’t regret attending the meetings, just that it gave credit to
the cult of corruption masquerading as a church.

The funny thing is that their hoard of corrupt wealth is altogether minuscule to
what the Unification Church truly holds. Japanese political elites live on the
food scraps from the Church's corrupt dealings worldwide. This shows how
pathetic and poor Japanese political elites who scream
anti-Korean/anti-foreigner rhetorics among their Japanese voters but do dark
dealings with "filthy barbarians" in the shadow.

Hypocrisy at the highest order!

The former health minister Yanagisawa described women as "birth-giving machines"

Very spot on Simon! I would like to say that these campaigns around the streets
and televised on air are mostly to attract the attention of senior citizens and
therefore the one thing the opposition party can do is utilize the internet
which reaches a broader audience. The problem I see here is the average young
citizen isn't inclined to look up these debates as most of them are not
interested in politics. I don't specifically know how effective the South Korean
campaign was to attract young voters, but it seemed they had many following the
topic through the use of SNS platforms. They most likely were also interested in
the topic because the effects were shown in their daily lives and in schools/
careers. When fresh college grads in Japan realize they have massive student
loans to pay off, their company only pays them 35 mil yen, the rent they pay is
now 100,000 yen for a 1K, and all other aspects are simply unaffordable, they
may come to the conclusion to finally vote. Hoping for a brighter future...

What I still can't fathom is how the right wing nutjobs get on every piece of
social media, including here, and STILL defend Abe and the LDP in general after
it has come out that the church wants Japan to be subservient to Korea.

Moon's theology teaches that his homeland Korea is the "Adam country", home of
the master race destined to rule the world. Japan is the "fallen Eve country".
The dogma teaches Eve had sexual relations with Satan and then seduced Adam,
which caused mankind to fall from grace (original sin), while Moon was appointed
to bring mankind to salvation. Japan must be subservient to Korea.[40][41] This
was used to indoctrinate their Japanese followers into offering every single
material belonging to Korea via the church.[42]

UC considered it was an honour for a Japanese woman to be married to a Korean
man, like an abandoned dog being picked up by a prince. If the Japanese
followers wanted to leave their partners of the mass wedding or the church, they
would be told that they be damned to the "hell of hell"

Assassination of Shinzo Abe - Wikipedia

So now the UC is calling Japanese women abandoned dogs (meaning Japanese women
are B*tches)

And the right wing here is ok with that.

According to research by **Nikkan Gendai, ten out of twenty members in
the Fourth Abe Cabinet had connections to the UC,[31] but these connections were
largely ignored by Japanese journalists.[32] After the assassination, Japanese
defence minister Nobuo Kishi, Abe's younger brother, was forced to disclose that
he had been supported by the UC in past elections.**

So HALF of the LDP and HALF of Abe's cabinet INCLUDING his younger brother and
DEFENCE MINISTER of Japan was being supported by a church which calls Japanese
women abandoned DOGS, says Japan must be subservient to Korea, and this is
OK?????
