Slain former prime minister Shinzo Abe was the son of a foreign minister, and grandson of another prime minister, Nobusuke Kishi. Grandpa Kishi was a member of the wartime junta and was arrested by the Americans as a suspected war criminal. But he escaped the hangman and in the mid-1950s helped found the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), which has ruled Japan ever since. Some people joke Japan is a one-party state. It isn't. But it's reasonable to ask why Japan continues to re-elect a party run by an entitled elite, which yearns to scrap American-imposed pacifism, but has failed to improve living standards for 30 years.

Similarly, grafting a shoot from the LDP Petunia hybrida onto a stock of the cold-requiring biennial henbane (Hyoscyamus niger) caused the latter to flower under long days, even though it was nonvernalized (Figure 20.18).

MAY 8, 2023
Ninety percent of prefectural assembly members with ties to the Unification Church were re-elected in the unified local elections in April, but their popularity showed signs of waning, an Asahi Shimbun survey showed.
The unified elections were the first collective nationwide vote held since the Unification Church came under fire again for its fund-collection methods following the assassination of former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe in July last year, apparently over his ties to the religious group.
According to an Asahi Shimbun survey conducted in August and September last year, 292 of the 2,314 responding prefectural assembly members acknowledged their connections with the church, now formally called the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification.
The ties included attendance at Unification Church-related meetings or events, and receiving support from the group in election campaigns.
The terms for 251 church-connected assembly members expired in spring. Of them, 228 sought re-election in the April 9 elections held in 41 of Japan’s 47 prefectures, while 23 members did not run due to age or other reasons.
Of these candidates, 206, or 90.4 percent, were re-elected. Twenty-two members, or 9.6 percent, lost their seats.
Among those re-elected, 47, or around 23 percent, ran uncontested.
More than 80 percent of the church-tied prefectural assembly members were from the ruling Liberal Democratic Party.
Among all 1,111 LDP incumbents who ran in the local assembly elections, 98 members, or 8.8 percent, were defeated.
Of all 228 candidates who confirmed their ties to the church, 118 gained fewer votes than in the previous election, while 42 garnered more ballots.
It is not clear if the church ties affected vote counts for 68 of the candidates because they ran uncontested in either of the two latest elections, or won in a by-election held within the past four years.
However, some candidates lost several thousand to 10,000 votes compared to their tallies in the previous election after their connections with the church became known.
Setsuko Sakuraba, 65, an LDP candidate, sought a second term in the Niigata prefectural assembly from the electoral district of Joetsu city.
But she was defeated in the election after gaining 9,536 votes. That was 2,459 votes fewer than her total in the previous election, when she placed fourth and gained one of the five assembly seats for the city.
Sakuraba had attended Unification Church-related events and received support in her campaign from people connected to the group.
These ties were reported in local newspapers and The Asahi Shimbun.
After her election loss, Sakuraba said about her church ties, “It’s hard to say how much, but there must have been a significant impact (on the election results.)”
She said someone had placed stickers with words “Unification Church endorsed candidate” on her campaign posters in Joetsu city.
About 50 to 60 of these stickers were found, she said.
In the Tochigi prefectural assembly election, 82-year-old Kazuyoshi Itabashi of the LDP was elected for a national record 14th straight time.
Itabashi gained 10,411 votes in the election four years ago, but this time he received 7,674 ballots, down by 2,737.
He also received the fewest votes among the five elected candidates representing the Oyama city and Nogi town electoral district.
“I think there was a slight decrease in votes,” he said after the election.
In September last year, reports surfaced that Itabashi was serving as head of the prefectural association of a church-related organization called the Federation for World Peace.
He resigned from the position.
Before the election, a Buddhist organization that had supported Itabashi told him that it would withhold its support because of his connection to the Federation for World Peace.
The Unification Church’s public relations department told The Asahi Shimbun, “Our organization has never had involvement with specific candidates or political parties.”

Blatantly Partisan Party Review VIII (NSW 2023): Liberal Democratic Party
Prior reviews: federal 2013, VIC 2014, federal 2016, VIC 2018, NSW 2019, federal 2019, federal 2022, VIC 2022
What I said before: “This is a cynical and callous party for people who lack empathy. Its economic and social policies are destructive; its approach to firearms is dangerous; its blinkered hostility to government accepts no possibility it can be used for—or that there even is such a thing as—collective good.” (federal 2022)
What I think this year: Welcome to the worst of far-right libertarianism, now with a generous helping of covid conspiracism. You have been warned.
Recommendation: Give the Liberal Democratic Party a weak or no preference.

[東京 25日 ロイター] - 自民党の宮沢博行・国防部会長は25日、同日開かれた同部会幹部会で、防衛費増額の財源として「防衛納税」や「防衛国債」の発行などが提案されたと記者団に説明した。
2023年度以降の防衛費増額に備え、政府が設置を検討している財源に関する有識者委員会については、出席議員から「財務省に牛耳られてしまうとの懸念の声と、財源は重要なので防衛省も参画すべきと設置を評価する声の双方があった」という。
岸田文雄首相は10日の記者会見で、「必要な防衛力、予算規模、財源の確保を一体的に進める」と述べており、防衛費増額と財源確保が焦点となっている。

Japanese Unification Church member beaten by several men who were unhappy with her tithing
Beacon2: “When I was in Japan in the 60's, my hostess neighbor was beaten by several men. My friend said don't interfere. The group [ the Unification Church] was unhappy with the tithing of my neighbor and sent some members to punish her. My friend considered them a cult, well established, with political intentions. Wikipedia mentioned the political arm were recently associated with the Liberal Democratic Party and Abe. My friend said they sought members by reading obituary columns in newspapers, to identify grieving relatives or spouses. They would pay a visit to console and recruit them.”

After Tetsuya Yamagami’s mother was recruited into the Unification Church (after her husband died) her three children had nothing to eat.

積極的平和主義
戦争の何たるかを知らない人や戦争の実態を想像できない人が抱きがちな、「武力による平和」という妄想。
又は
国民を無知あるいは思考停止の状態に置き、軍国主義に向かうためのpositive wordによる情報操作。

Did and didn't forget about having this blog. I go through these phases of not wanting to visit Tumblr at all. July 28th marked one year since I first started playing Lust Doll Plus (the first nsfw RPG I ever played)!
I love the customization this game has with the content you see and how it's shown (ranging from if you want the major characters to be furries or not, to what fetishes you can encounter). It doesnt have music or animations but the dev still does a good job in worldbuilding.
Unfortunately my save is lost so I probably won't revisit the game in a meaningful way until it's more developed and/or on Steam.
