It was very moving to hear Prime Minister Abe's remarks. Then this morning, I read an article that perhaps you all know about, but was news to me, describing "his fascist politics and strong penchant for historical revisionism." Numerous members of Abe's far-right administration have ties to leading neo-Nazis. His administration has spent months working toward rewriting Japan's pacifist constitution.  Abe is part of a fascist group, Nippon Kaigi, the explicit goals of which are to restore the "glory" of Imperial Japan, reestablish the monarchy, rewrite the constitution, repeal laws that established women's equality, and kick out non-natives. True? http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2016/07/10/does-this-religious-cult-run-japan.html
