Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida’s cabinet, which has been reeling from public uproar over the influence of the Unification Church, aka the Moonies, in the wake of the assassination of former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe by a man aggrieved over the far right pseudo-Christian cult ruining his mother’s life, on Thursday approved a new bill that will ban the practice of telling people to pay up or the souls of their departed loved ones will be trapped in hell, the Japan Times reports.
“The purpose of the legislation is to provide relief and prevent a recurrence of unjust soliciting of donations. “We’ve done our best to make it as effective as possible under the current legal framework,” Chief Cabinet Secretary Hirokazu Matsuno told reporters Thursday. The legislation doesn’t specifically name the Moonies, or religious organizations in general, which is a nice way of making it look like they’re not strangling the cash flow to those assholes, which is exactly the plan.
Reminder that these sick freaks who extract money from people’s grief also have deep ties to the American right wing, owning the Washington Times and United Press International, hosting former Vice President Mike Pence at an event in Seoul earlier this year (at which fat former President Trump also made a video address), and sent dozens of members of their gun worshipping Pennsylvania-based subsect called “Iron Rod Ministries” into the Capitol on January 6th.
