【安倍元首相殺害事件が日本の政界再編につながる可能性について】

1. 安倍元首相殺害事件と旧統一教会

安倍晋三元首相が、旧統一教会に恨みを持つ容疑者によって殺害された事件は、現在、容疑者が鑑定留置中であり、犯行の動機・経緯、背後関係については捜査中という状況です。

事件以来、早い段階から、今回の犯行は、容疑者の個人的恨みによるものとの報道がされています。安倍元首相が旧統一教会と深い関係にあるため殺害したとの容疑者の供述が伝えられています。



捜査関係者によると、容疑者の旧統一教会への恨みを示す匿名「Tweet」の存在も確認されたとのことで、警察・司法当局は、個人的殺害ということで事件を収拾させたいようです。背後関係を含め、真相は永久に闇の中ということになりそうです。

しかしながら、当局の思惑とは別に、事件をきっかけに再び明るみになった旧統一教会スキャンダルの政治的・社会的影響は、今後、大きく、深く拡大していく可能性があります。


2. 旧統一教会スキャンダル拡大の可能性

今回の事件によって、数十年ぶりにその存在と活動に焦点が当てられているのが、宗教団体「旧統一教会(世界平和統一家庭連合)」です。

安倍元首相を始め、多くの政治家が旧統一教会と深い関係にあり、与党・自民党の政治家だけでなく、野党の政治家も旧統一教会とのつながりがあると報道されています。

旧統一教会に関しては、集団結婚式や強引な集金活動などの実情が指摘されるとともに、選挙における集票活動の恩恵を受ける政治家が旧統一教会を保護し特別扱いをしていたのではないかという「政教分離原則」違反の疑いもあります。





まだ旧統一教会についての報道は再開されたばかりですが、今後、広く政界・官界・財界に及ぶ様々なスキャンダルや違法事案が暴露されていく可能性があります。

たとえば、旧統一教会関係者が関わった違法な伝道活動・偽装勧誘に関し、政治家が政治的圧力をかけて、捜査が妨害された事案はないのか?、霊感商法に対する警察の捜査や摘発において、手ごころが加えられた事案はないのか?、被害者からの被害届や捜査の要請が不利な取扱いを受けた事案はないのか?などの疑惑が、今後、明るみに出るかも知れません。[1][2][3][4]

すでに、警察庁を管理する立場の国家公安委員会二之湯智委員長(国務大臣)が、旧統一教会関連団体のイベントで、実行委員長を務めていたことが明らかとなっています。[5]

もし仮に政治家が、集票活動や政治献金への見返りに、職権を濫用し、旧統一教会へ特別な便宜を供与していたとすれば、刑事事件に発展します。

様々なスキャンダルがメディアによって次々と暴露され、国民の間に大きな憤りが広がり、政治家への疑惑・非難が強まれば、地検特捜部などの捜査・司法当局も動かざるを得ません。



とくに自民党の政治家は、安倍元首相を始め、きわめて多くの政治家が旧統一教会と深い関係にあったようです。であるとすれば、スキャンダルは自民党を揺るがす巨大な疑獄事件に発展する可能性もあります。

野党の立憲民主党・国民民主党も同様です。旧統一教会との関係に基づいて、民主党政権時代に職権を濫用し、旧統一教会に特別な便宜を供与した政治家がいるかも知れません。

これに対して、宗教団体である創価学会を支持基盤とする公明党は、旧統一教会スキャンダルとは無縁と考えられます。公明党は、旧統一教会とは、宗教的な意味で、むしろ利害が相反する関係にあるからです。

今後、一部テレビ局や新聞が先導する形で、旧統一教会スキャンダルが暴露され、他のテレビ局や新聞が追随すれば、国民の間に疑惑は大きく広がっていくでしょう。

憲法の専門家や刑法の専門家が、「政教分離の原則」や贈収賄罪について、様々なテレビ番組で詳しく解説することになるでしょう。

さらに、場合によっては、芸能界やテレビ局、広告代理店などにも、旧統一教会と深い癒着関係を持っていた関係者がいるかも知れません。その場合、疑惑に対する国民の関心・不信は増幅されるでしょう。


ちなみに、あくまでも推測ですが、日本のメディアの多くが、アメリカ政府の影響下にあることを考えると、旧統一教会スキャンダルの拡大は、アメリカ民主党政権が主導している可能性があります。



アメリカ民主党政権は、旧統一教会スキャンダルを使って自民党政権に揺さぶりをかけ、政権に対する影響力を拡大しようとしているのかも知れません。

アメリカ民主党政権は欧州系資本との関係が強いため、アメリカ保守派と関係が強い日本保守派を政治的に弱めたいのかも知れません。日本保守派を政治的に弱めることで、アメリカ民主党政権は、日本への影響力を拡大することが出来ます。

アメリカは、自民党が公明党に気兼ねして、憲法改定や敵基地攻撃能力保有への動きを速めないことに苛立っています。

アメリカ民主党政権の影響力が強まれば、自民党政権は、これまで進めてきた対米追随・中国包囲網構築・憲法改定・敵基地攻撃能力保有などの政策を継続し、さらに加速することになるでしょう。


3. 旧統一教会スキャンダルをきっかけとする政界再編の可能性

今後、旧統一教会スキャンダルの捜査が自民党の最深部に及べば、多くの議員が訴追される可能性もあります。仮に自民党が旧統一教会と一心同体のような深い関係にあったとすれば、自民党の存立自体を揺るがすような事態に発展するかも知れません。



その場合、自民党内で旧統一教会と比較的距離を置いていた議員やこれまで傍流に甘んじていた二階派など親中国派の議員は、疑惑まみれの自民党では選挙が戦えないと判断し、旧統一教会スキャンダルをきっかけに党を離脱し、新しい政党を立ち上げる可能性があります。


[二階俊博元自民党幹事長と習近平中国主席]

野党においても同様です。仮に旧統一教会スキャンダルが立憲民主党・国民民主党の最深部に及べば、立憲民主党・国民民主党議員からも多くの逮捕者が生まれる可能性があります。その場合、立憲民主党・国民民主党においても、党を離脱し、新しい政党を立ち上げる動きが起こるかも知れません。

言い換えますと、旧統一教会スキャンダルは、与野党の政界再編につながる可能性があるということになります。




4. 公明党を軸とする新政権の可能性

さらに、もう一つの可能性として、旧統一教会スキャンダルと無縁の公明党が政界再編の軸となる可能性もあります。

公明党は、先の参院選で改選14議席を維持出来ず、比例代表の得票も先の衆院選の約711万票から約93万票も減らし、約618万票にとどまりました。公明党は、このまま右傾化する自民党に協力し、じりじり党勢を失うよりも、平和政党としての原点への回帰を決断するかも知れません。[6]


[山口那津男公明党代表]

当選回数の浅い自民党議員を始めとして多くの自民党議員は、公明党の選挙協力が頼りです。先の総選挙では、公明党の選挙協力が得られなかった自民党現職幹事長の甘利明氏が、小選挙区選挙でまさかの落選をしました。甘利氏は幹事長辞任に追い込まれました。


[落選の記者会見をする甘利明自民党幹事長]

仮に公明党が旧統一教会スキャンダルに揺れる自民党と決別し、野党への選挙協力へ切り換えれば、多くの自民党若手議員が落選し、自民党が大きく過半数割れする可能性があります。

その場合、公明党を軸として、自民党離脱議員や立憲民主党(新執行部の下、親中国・平和志向を宣言)など諸政党による連立政権が成立する可能性があります。そして、政界再編後の新政権において、公明党が大きな発言権を得ることになります。


[山口那津男公明党代表と李克強中国首相]

公明党は、自民党が進める憲法改定に慎重な立場です。また、公明党は、親中国の立場です。公明党は、国債発行による無法図な防衛費増額にも慎重な立場です。公明党は、敵基地攻撃能力の議論に関しても慎重な立場です。公明党は、元来、平和を志向する政党です。



仮に政界再編後の新政権が、公明党の発言権の強い政権になれば、新政権は、これまで自民党政権が進めてきた対米追随・中国包囲網構築・憲法改定・敵基地攻撃能力保有などの政策を転換する可能性があります。

現在、世界では、アメリカ一極主義が終焉し、中国やロシア、BRICS、ASEANなどを含む多極主義の時代が始まろうとしています。

公明党を軸とする新しい連立政権は、多極主義の時代に対応する、平和志向で柔軟な日本を導いてくれるかも知れません。

China can send advisers to Asian and African countries so as to share her great achievement of poverty alleviation, people first policies and public education.

1. China can send economic advisers to nations

China is establishing "moderately prosperous society (小康社会)" and "common prosperity"(共同富裕) for her entire population by making the most of 5G, AI, IoT, industrial robots, electronic money and renewable energies.



China has already lifted as many as 800 million people out of absolute poverty in last decades, proving that the combination of planned economy and market economy is the best to develop economy.





Asian and African countries will follow the lead and model of China to establish "moderately prosperous society (小康社会)" and "common prosperity"(共同富裕), being connected with China through 5G, AI, IoT, industrial robots, electronic money and renewable energies.

For Asian and African countries, poverty is one of the most significant problems. And, witnessing China's remarkable achievement of her economic growth and poverty alleviation, they want to see China as a model.

For example, in his interview with CGTN, Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan clearly indicated that poverty alleviation was one of Pakistan's goals and that China was a great model. [1]



Asian and African countries regard China as a model and want to learn from China.

Thus, in order to respond to their demand, China can send economic advisers on poverty alleviation to Asian and African countries.

Chinese economic advisers can advise on China's experiences on poverty alleviation and job creation and, in accordance with each country's economic development level, provide tailor-made proposals on policies and mechanism for poverty alleviation.

For example, Chinese economic advisers can provide advice on how Asian and African countries enhance regional trade and economic cooperation each other, how to streamline supply-chains with other regions, how to promote each nation's local unique products, how to use e-commerce to market and distribute their products and how to develop their mineral resources.







In other words, Chinese economic advisers can provide advice on what kinds of businesses are feasible and what kinds of job creation is possible for various areas of each country.

Chinese economic advisers can assume various forms and positions suitable for each country's conditions. They can be university guest professors, central and local government's advisers, private consultants, members of international organizations, banking company's officers, private company's employees and so on.



Also, Chinese economic advisers can provide advice on how to make the most of 5G, AI and big data to alleviate poverty and create jobs.

For example, by using 5G network and applying AI and big data, a nation's consumers demand can be precisely predicted and measured. Then, the prediction can be used to arrange the best national production and industrial plan to supply merchandise to meet the demand. The result would be the most smart and efficient economy conceivable for each nation. So-called "God's invisible hand" isn't needed. 5G network, AI and big data do the job.


2. China can send political advisers to nations

In addition to economic advisers, China can send political advisers to Asia and African countries because a political system is closely linked with wealth distribution and, therefore, poverty alleviation.



In most of post-colonial Asian and African countries, so-called "Western" democracy only serves as an instrument to exploit a nation's resources and use the people as cheap labor. Once elected, a nation's elected officials and legislators forget about the people and get connected with Western big businesses and start working as puppets to maximize profits of foreign companies.



Instead of "Western" fake democracy, true democracy should be introduced to nations so as to correct the wealth distribution and realize poverty alleviation.

China is domestically implementing "Whole Process People's Democracy" to carry out "People First" policies. "Whole Process People's Democracy" is defined as follows, according to China's Foreign Ministry. [2]

//Quote//

Whole-process people’s democracy includes democratic elections, consultations, decision-making, management, and oversight. It integrates process-oriented democracy with results-oriented democracy, procedural democracy with substantive democracy, direct democracy with indirect democracy, and people’s democracy with the will of the state. It is a model of socialist democracy that covers all aspects of the democratic process and all sectors of society. It is true and high quality democracy that works.

//Unquote//

Western democracy's elections alone cannot guarantee "People First" policies. Regular consultations with and vigilant supervision by the people are required.

//Quote//

In China, the people participate in the management of state affairs, social affairs, and economic and cultural affairs; they provide opinions and suggestions for the design of national development plans at the highest level, and also contribute to the governance of local public affairs; they take part in democratic elections, consultations, decision-making, management, and oversight; they express their aspirations and demands through channels such as the people's congresses and the CPPCC, and through platforms like social organizations and the internet. [3]

//Unquote//

Also, in the process of true democracy. a role of media is critical. Chinese media such as Xinhua and CGTN can provide advice and proposals to each nation regarding how to produce fair and objective news and programs for the benefit of the people.



"Whole Process People's Democracy", once introduced to Asian and African countries, would prevent multi-national big businesses' exploitations and political intervention and enable each nation to achieve fair distribution of wealth and poverty alleviation.

Chinese political advisers can assume various forms and positions suitable for each country's conditions. They can be university guest professors, central and local government's advisers, private consultants, members of international organizations and so on.


3. China can send education advisers to nations

China's remarkable achievement of economic growth and poverty alleviation stems not only from the government's excellent policies but from very excellent public education system and sophisticated curriculums.

China's universities such as Tsinghua University and Peking University are ranked at the top in Asia in both scientific and liberal arts areas. [4]

China's elementary and middle education systems are excellent too. For example, in China, English learning starts at the 1st grade of elementary school and, from the 2nd grade through high school graduation, only English is used during English classes. As a result, Chinese students speak excellent English. In contrast, in Japan, teachers always speak in Japanese during English classes. As a result, almost no student can speak English even after graduation of high school.



China can send education advisers to Asian and African countries to enhance people's capabilities, which will facilitate their research & development, manufacturing, engineering, construction and domestic and international businesses. Education is the key to achieve poverty alleviation and true democracy.

In addition, China can provide, through 5G network, university-level lectures of higher education for free. Higher education such as law, economics, engineering, business management and computer science should not be limited to a small number of people of the society. It should be open and public to the entire population for free.



Chinese education advisers can assume various forms and positions suitable for each country's conditions. They can be university guest professors, elementary and middle school guest teachers, high school guest teachers, central and local government's advisers, private consultants, members of international organizations and so on.


China's economic, political and education advisers would help Asian and African countries to achieve economic growth, poverty alleviation, true democracy and prosperous and progressive lives for the people, and would contribute to the establishment of the peaceful and stable multi-polar world.

Thank you.

"No mercy for these enemies of the people, the enemies of socialism, the enemies of the working people" — Vladimir Lenin


1. UK's retreat and Sino-Russian alliance's pursuit

Boris Jonson's disgraceful resignation of early July clearly indicates a failure of UK's hardline policies.



After 4 months of Ukraine War, Russia is now in full control of Luhansk region in Ukraine. Russian ruble is stronger than when the war began. Russian oil & gas revenues are at all-time highs.

Noticing that it can't win on the battlefield or economic warfare, UK has jettisoned its PM and started to retreat. UK is notorious for its being quick to flee and run away.

In disastrous Dunkirk evacuation (1940), UK ran away from the European Continent, deserting and leaving its allies behind.



When Japanese Imperial Navy sunk HMS Prince of Wales and HMS Repulse off the Malay Peninsula and air-bombarded Ceylon (Sri Lanka) in 1941-42, UK's Asian fleet ran away as far away as Madagascar.



UK is unchanged in its being quick to flee and run away.


Currently, the contest to elect the next Tory leader who is to be the next UK's PM is underway. However, UK’s prime ministerial hopefuls are saying little on foreign policy. They are a scam. [1]

Liz Truss is a right-wing woman. If she becomes UK's PM, she will continue Boris Johnson's hardline policies.



If Rishi Sunak becomes UK's PM, UK may adopt more lenient policies toward Sino-Russian alliance, but at the same time, will try to sever China from Russia. He will also try to solidify relations with India, trying to take back India from BRICS plus.

Sunak's records include no military career. He has been a mere money counting man for UK's rich people. As Chancellor of the Exchequer in the Boris Johnson cabinet, he resisted a rise in defense spending despite the war in Ukraine. [2]

Being an Indian descendant, he will try to promote India as a rival to China, only to find a failure. Unlike China whose people are integrated under the leadership of CPC, India is torn apart by the caste system.




China and Russia should not be deceived even if UK adopts less hostile and more lenient policies toward Sino-Russian alliance. The less hostile approach would be only surface because it is likely that, at the same time, UK will try to sever the relations between China and Russia. China and Russia should maintain and solidify their unity even more.

Sino-Russia alliance should keep pursuing and incapacitating the wretched UK in military, diplomatic and economic arenas.


2. Military and diplomatic arena

Ukraine president Zelensky is so quiet these days because Boris Johnson, his lifeline, has resigned. Without UK-drafted manuscripts, Zelensky can't speak out.

Russian secret agents are active in Ukraine. Ukraine's security chief and top prosecutor were relieved because it was revealed that lots of their subordinates had secretly worked for Russia. There still must be a large number of Russian agents operating inside the Ukraine government. [3]

As Russia will continue advance to Dnipro and Kiev, Zelensky will lose support of the people.





Ukraine military generals will anticipate and fear that they will be executed if Russia completely conquers Ukraine. So, Ukraine military may stage a coup, putting Zelensky into custody, and set up a pro-Russia government, which will be a good lesson to Taiwan.


Boris Johnson is gone and, together with him, a grandiose delusion of his foreign policy called "Global Britain" is gone too.

Thus, the idea of Asian NATO should be scrapped. AUKUS and QUAD should be abandoned. These will be a good lesson to Japan.

Actually, UK is in a situation of "Shrinking Britain". UK is in a cash crunch. In last October, it sold out nearly half the grounds of UK embassy in Tokyo, which is supposed to be the local headquarters for UK's Indo-Pacific strategy. [4]




To accelerate UK's decline, UK's overseas imperial territories should be deprived. China and Russia can denounce UK's Imperialism.

China and Russia, together with BRICS plus, can support diplomatically and militarily Argentina’s sovereignty claim over Falkland Islands, Mauritius’s sovereignty claim over Diego Garcia and Spain’s sovereignty claim over Gibraltar.



China and Russia, together with BRICS plus, can support the independence of Pitcairn, Henderson, Ducie and Oeno Islands of UK.

China and Russia, together with BRICS plus, can support the independence of Cayman Islands and put to an end to the islands' tax haven system.


3. Economic arena

BRICS plus should introduce common currency to let India use less UK pound and US dollar. UK pound will plunge.

Russia keeps supplying weapons and oil and gas to India.

China can support India's renewable energy sector. China can also support and invest in start-up companies in India. China and India can exchange students.



Through Belt and Road Initiative and win-win relations with Asian and African nations, China can continue taking over UK's former colonies economically in Asia and Africa. Asian and African nations that are fed up with UK's exploitation will come to the side of Sino-Russian alliance.

As UK is isolated more and more, EU nations will never help post-Brexit UK. Sinn Fein has called for the Northern Irish border to be removed. Scotland is planning to conduct the second referendum for independence.

Then, only England and Wales might be left for UK.




Being an expert of money, Rishi Sunak, together with the US Biden administration, may engineer a steep plunge of world capital markets and real estate markets to damage China and Russia's economy. During the US Democratic administrations such as the Clinton administration and the Obama administration, plunges of capital markets and real estate markets happened.

However, just like the West's economic sanctions against Russia have harmed the West's economy more, a plunge of capital markets and real estate markets would accelerate the decline of the West and the decline of capitalism while Sino-Russian alliance, together with BRICS plus, will weather the economic turmoil.


Under these circumstances, UK will go into a long recession. China and Russia can put further pressure on some UK companies and make them bankrupted. Chinese companies can take over them.


Cooperating in the pursuit of declining UK, China and Russia will solidify their alliance. As UK is US's junior partner, incapacitating UK will substantially undermine the US's hegemony in the world, which will lead to the firm establishment of the multi-polar world.

Thank you.
