The 71-year-old man who fired five shots at Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico, is linked with a pro-Russian extremist group a Hungarian investigative journalist reported.
The Moonies are not a new movement. They have a long and troubling history in Korea, Japan, and the US. I highly recommend Falling Out for anyone interested in learning more about the cult.
I know they’re not new; that’s just what they’re classified as on Wikipedia. It is “new” compared to Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Buddhism, etc. The distinction is that the Unification Church came about within the last 75 years, and so is not one of the “old” religious movements.
One of my favorite scary facts about the moonies that I don’t see talked about much is that a couple of the founders sons had a falling out with the church, and went and started their own, even crazier church. They made the news a few years back doing some rifle blessings and some kind of mass wedding ceremony (also with rifles)
Dumbest take. Japan isn’t even part of NATO, and Abe was killed only 5 months after the start of the war. Abe was also mired in controversy within his own borders for a multitude of reasons.

Shinzo Abe was assassinated over his ties to/support of a New religious movement in Japan. Put your tinfoil hat back on and go to your room

Not for nothing, they also own kahr firearms
Elgin gets into that in the podcast, and it just gets worse and worse.
