We talk with DC-based journalist Tim Shorrock about the shocking assassination of Shinzo Abe, the history of his party the LDP, the post-war occupation of Japan, and just what it all has to do with the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification, aka The Moonies.

Billy Thunderhawk

Still highly amused at a former head of state getting popped with a damn Fallout weapon

kenton

NEWmo's

otis

This guy talked for so long that I forgot what podcast I was listening to.

CC

Came here to say that haha

Alejandro Pepsi

Tim is an excellent twitter follow, highly recommend

Sean

I’m gay

Sean

Wrong podcast

Karl Childers

man a full episode on the connections between the Unification Church and east asian intelligence services would be amazing, this shit is a trip

Patrick

I lived across the street from a FFWPU church, and opening up this episode I had to do a double take on the caption! This was an epic ep

Kirk

You guys remember Kevin Bacon’s son’s crust band.

TrueAnonPod

I dont remember the band but I remember people being like yo Kevin bacons son is a crust punk in Olympia

TrueAnonPod

We wanna do a full moon episode cause it’s even weirder than the connections between intelligencer services—the church is a freakshow

5k Race Warrior

If anyone ever says Jews control the media point them to Brace reading his own tour dates

eza

liz doesn’t have vocal fry. it’s more of a squeak

Winnie

Seattle venue is pronounced "nu-mose" lol see you guys there <3

justdave

Six degrees of smelling like a dumpster fire, screaming 'HORSE COCK' at your friends and stealing bikes/dogs

justdave

-would be a cool name for his band

jer

Chicken tandoori sub

GueritoDeLaBahia

Looking forward to seeing y’all in the city!! Already copped tickets lol

SoldierBlue

I think general sentiment in Japan is sympathy for the killer and that because of his ties with the church Abe was a reasonable target

Tim m

Terror Level Red was a 2000's style crust band that i think had KB son in it but i thought they were from NYC

AKorgar

Love all this Gladio/long Cold War shit. Looking forward to it

Sloan Sprau

moving to nara next week, gonna get to the scene and look for clues myself

Gulb

I thought it was pronounced noomo's

AKorgar

Great episode guys, learned a lot

otis

Of course it is.

Emma

Came to comment this, it's 100% noo-mo's

Clay Perry

Glad to get a show that mentions WACL on the eve of their holiday, captive nations week. The white house still puts out a press release each year for it it's crazy

Blaz Kelbl

Great guest, great episode.

Dan Z

Liz talks like a popular girl

Lionel Boyd Johnson

Awesome show, Tim Shorrock is fantastic as usual, fantastic reporting on East Asia for many many years!

Kirk

Def from the east coast. They left a Philly show early because everyone wouldn’t stop yelling footloose at him.

The Children of Jack Acid

... and you support the Democrats, you're having BALONEY for dinner, amirite folks?

Lionel Boyd Johnson

We need a TrueAnon sponsored BDS movement against California rolls. Come on folks, this is the weak link in the military intelligence empire, we need solidarity, we can do this, don't give up now!

Lionel Boyd Johnson

They've got it all, the Hunter Biden son, the try hard Ivanka daughter, the insane marriage, and hundreds of thousands of followers that dutifully perform their marital duties under the watchful portrait of the Reverend and his freak wife. Right wing ties, Asian Gladio type operations, deep intelligence links, and hundreds of thousands of slavish followers! Yes folks, they've got it all, it's a perfect topic for a Trueanon series!

Lizard

Can confirm: me, my ex, my current partner, and both friends who listen to the pod are all gay I literally don't know any straight people who like this show

Lizard

Olympia is hell on earth there are just 20 punks there and they're all in a polycule

snakecase

Jesse Ventura knows so much about Japan this is awesome

Antipaganda

Hey, come and tour Australia! I will force at least four friends to come along with me! Edit: Liz definitely has vocal fry and it's hot af

Melvin

If Liz has vocal fry, then what does Dasha Nekrasova have

J.P. McD.

Brace is definitely more a China guy, Liz is a China gal, I'm a Japan guy. It's totally fine and great, we don't all have to be the same.

Alaric

The tour announcement section might be the most demented intro to an episode yet. Felt my brain leaking out of my ears. Great stuff!

A S

I do agree there should be a boycott against rolls. Sashimi and nigiri only!

Alberto Limon

Do we all say: bye-bye when the episode ends? I know I do.

hater

My moms friend (dad was a big vietnam general, rhymes with bestchoreland) joined the moonies and the general had to hire people to kidnap her back

Natalie

how can u say something so brave yet so wrong

J.P. McD.

No but I wish I did

J.P. McD.

I don’t think of myself as brave

George E

If you're curious about this topic, I cannot recommend Programmed to Chill's Imperial Japan series. It covers so much of this background that the guest mentions in depth. Lot of the names are covered extensively, great great show.

sir peepus

I love you too Brace

Mark Owen

Moe's Mo'roc'n Cafe

WillyGetSilly

An episode on Scientology and investigations into child trafficking on the sea org would be siiiick

hater

Holy fuck yall just got to the part where they talked about westmoreland lmao

Peter Annee

Took them 200 episodes to forget Brace would make fun of Liz for having vocal fry all the time lol.

Evan Scott

Kevin Bacon's dad was the Robert Moses of philadelphia. What a lineage

Marina

10/10 guest- I could listen to him talk about basically anything. Thanks guys!

Dirk

Never have kids guys. Never. You’re clearly not ready.

Province

I much prefer episodes like this to ones you talk about Bitcoin and stuff. You are at your best when uncovering information.

sgl

Really good and interesting. Sorry I don’t have anything funny to say

justdave

No, this is funny. Your cool

F

Why the 15 minute intro tho

Drew

You should do some episodes on the smallest and most obscure branches of CIA post-war fascism enabling. Look for the CIA's B-sides in Niue or Vanuatu or something.

dogdemonwithglasses

gotta admit, I was hoping you guys would get more into details about Tetsuya Yamagami (the shooter). You mentioned the moonies and how they prey on religious people and do something similar to the classic "prosperity gospel" schitck. The shooter allegedly claimed that they bankrupted his family...so a tie in there wouldn't have been so odd.
