Speaker 1 (00:04):
Welcome to it could happen here a podcast that, for
the first time ever is being recorded on an earth
that I no longer have to share with that fascist
rap bass or chinzawabe and with with me, with me
to celebrate this occasion is Garrison Davis. Hi, hello and James,
have have we actually have we like introduced you? Introduced you?

(00:27):
Yet I didn't think so. No, I just pop up
talking about three D printed guns and people who hate butterflies. Yeah. Yeah,
this is this is truly a dark day for democracy.
I'm saddened by the horrible loss of a great leader. Um,
A hero to feminism and women. Um. And I guess

(00:51):
a hero to those who defend war crimes. So I
guess before before before wefore we get into one of
the funniest things that's happened in maybe twenty years. Um.
You do you want to like talk about who you are?
Because you are now one of us and I'm very
excited about it. Yeah, I'm one of Yeah, I'm now
a podcast Yeah. Um? So who I am? I am

(01:13):
a journalist, I guess, uh, and a historian and I
wrote a book about the first week of the Spanish
Civil War and my PhD is in the history of
international anti fascism, building international anti fascist alliances through physical culture,
which is very nerdy, but yeah, I love that stuff.

(01:35):
What else? I'm British if that had not been made
abundantly clear by my accent, and I live in southern California,
which means this is a Now, this episode is a
majority Commonwealth episode. Really exciting. We made it? Yeah, well
we do in the national anthem in a minute here

(01:55):
and we'll all just stand up. Uh so, ex Prime
Minister kind of he's not around anymore, is he? No?
He is dead as fuck? So all right we should
I guess I guess we should explain who Shenzo Abe is. Yeah, um, okay,
if if you want a really really long account of

(02:18):
what the Japanese Liberal Democratic Party is, because they are
some of the worst people who've ever existed democratic, how
can this be? So? The very short version of this
is that the Liberal Democratic Party is a party that
was founded by Nobusuke Kishi, who is one of history's
worst war criminals, person like personally responsible for enslaving hundreds

(02:41):
of thousands of people in China. Uh he's the guy
who basically he's the guy who was in charge of
the economy of the fascist war machine, like like in
Japanjua War two. He was the guy who ran like
the sort of fascist puppet state called Manchuqua that was
run by Japan after they conquered it. Uh. Real war criminal.

(03:03):
Also just like personally raped a like extremely large number
of people. I think that, like I was almost never
discussed when people talk about him, almost like like a
shockingly high white number. Yeah. It's of sex crimes, it's wild. Yeah.
And he's also I mean, he's involved with the Japanese
military sex slave program, which you were here referred to

(03:26):
as comfort women, and I refused to call the comfort
women because that is a fucking horrifying euphemism for again,
a program of military sex slavery. Uh. He also was
one of the people who signed off on Unit seven
thirty one, which was Japan's chemical weapons testing unit where
they fucking like purposely infested, infected and tested chemical weapons

(03:46):
on prisoners. Uh. Yeah, he's one of the worst people ever.
And then he got a bunch of CIA backing and
so backing from the y Aakasa because the CIA is
working with the yakuza on early uh fifty Japan and
she's a will basically to force all of the other
conservative like people to join his party, and the sort

(04:06):
of the merger of the of the Liberal Party, Liberal
Party and the Democratic Party is now the Liberal Democratic Party.
This is Keishi's party. He founded it, he drags everyone
else into it. He does an immense amount of corruption.
He tries to bring fascism back. He narrowly fails. Shinzo
Abe is his grandson. Uh the LDP Liberal Democratic Party,
Yeah has Yeah, it sucks. It's like like nothing. The

(04:29):
way that I've been thinking about, like how do you
explain this to people who don't who don't have like
a background in like Japanese like war crime stuff is
like imagine if like one of Hitler's generals had like
survived World War Two and then the CIA made him
made him the prime Minister of Germany and then and
he got more fascist because people were saying mean things

(04:49):
about his grandpa. He's like, oh, I don't like that
they're calling him bad names. I'm going to get more
fascist now, so like ill be abbe himself. He's car
He's been carrying out a lot of the same things
that that she was trying to do. Kishi was trying
to sort of restore the sort of full fascist power
of the police. Abe has been doing a whole bunch
of shifts of centralizing power in the executive and spatting

(05:12):
the police's power should just arrest whoever the funk they want.
Um So. One of one of the other things about
Japan is that like legally in their constitution they can't
go to war, and like both Kishi and Abbe like
this is like they're big fucking things that they want.
They want to fully rearm Japan. They want Japan be
able to go to war because they want to do
the fucking empire again. And you know, so this has led. Yeah,

(05:35):
Abe has been doing that. Um He also the thing
he's probably most famous for in terms of like the
reasons people think he's bad because he is he's like
just actually a monster. Is he's just like a like
unfathomable degree of war crime denial like he he pulled
so Japan in the nineties had admitted that they fucking

(05:58):
kidnapped and enslaved like an enormous number of people from
of people from Korea, people from China, and I think
they also did they did in the Philippines and Indonesia too,
although there's less sort of coverage of that, and like
turn them into military sex slaves, did things to them
that are like, I fucking unspeakable. Um And so the

(06:18):
Japanese government the nineties had admitted they did this and
apologized for it, and Abe was like, no, funk that
that's that's wrong. He's also a part of this group
called Niponka guy, which is like a fascist group. And okay,
so this is this is this is according to a
US congressional report, what they believe quote Japan should be
applauded for liberating musch of East Asia from western colonial powers,

(06:39):
that the Night Tokyo War crivate stripe units were illegitimate,
and that the killings by Japanese troops through the nineteen
thirties seven Nujing Massacre were exaggerated or fabricated. Oh boy.
They also openly yeah, yeah, yeah. They they also saw
the nudging denialists. They're they're they're sex slave denialists. They
openly call for the restoration of the monarchy and the

(07:00):
institution of Shinto as a state religion. Umb Like ab
Like has continuously said that the sex slave like did
it were like did were there voluntarily? Does another thing
that but but but but Hillary Clinton just tweated that
Pregns was a champion of democracy and a firm believer

(07:20):
that no economy, society, country because achieve its full potential
if you leave women behind. Why you know, she to
be fair, to be fair, to be fair, both Abbe
and nobody. She did in fact believe in using women
to fuel the economy, just not in that way. He also,
there's there's neverthing that so probably these most like famous

(07:42):
most controversial thing was So there's the shrine called the
um Yasukuni Shrine, which is is the shrine is dedicated
to soldiers who like died serving the Japanese emperor and
in in this so there's this thing called the Book
of Souls that has like lists of names right of
just like the other people who died, and a thousand
sixty eight of the people who were of the people

(08:04):
in that book are people who were who were convicted
of war crimes. And there are also at fourteen Class
A war criminals who either died or were executed who
are considered martyrs. There and Abde fucking like visited there
and like braid and ship and this piste off everyone.
And I mean this is like there are lots of
people who have gotten mad and me already for celebrating
Abby's death and my, my, my, My official line on

(08:26):
this is, if Ab didn't want me to celebrate his
fucking death, maybe he shouldn't have celebrated the lives of
the people who killed my fucking family, So fuck them. Yeah,
so he's not not not a great dude. The real
pack and automatic the every thing we should mention too
before we go into sort of like the details of
the shooting is that there is an election actually but

(08:48):
but but by the time this episode drops, I think
the election will have happened, um, where there is a
real chance that the Liberal Democratic Party is going to
sort of lie just fucking sweep it. Because Liberal Democratic
Party immediately starts to blame me the left for this. Uh,
there's a whole bunch of I mean just absolutely horrifying
stuff where they're blaming Korean people who live in live

(09:11):
in Japan, which if you know anything about Japanese history,
when that stuff starts happening like in in In after
the Canto earthquake, h a bunch of people just started
blaming Koreans for the whole thing, and they fucking literally
exterminated almost the entire Korean population in several major Japanese cities.
And so this stuff is very scary. Uh, It's possible

(09:31):
that this is going to set off like an incredible
right wing lrici of Japanese politics, and there's a chance
that this, this this could be the actual thing that
like full on triggers Japan like we are being and
you know, going back into sort of just being a
pure fascist empire. So this is not Yeah, that that
part is really bad. The motivation for the assassination is still,

(09:53):
at least at time of recording, still slightly unclear, very unclear.
According according to some politics Asians and news media, we
do know the suspect is Hyo Kojima, that you can
you can infer a little bit fased on. So yeah,
there's there's like French politicians and a Greek news channel

(10:14):
who are using pictures of video developer Hideo Kojima and
passing them off as the shooting suspect, which is really funny.
It is funny pictures of Kachima like inside like a
Russian like communist hat fucking thing, pictures of him wearing
a joker shirt and standing in front of a Jacobara picture,

(10:38):
and they're using this as proof that it's via left
wing terrorist and it's actually video game developer Kojiba. It's yeah, So, like,
I guess what we know about the actual shooter, Um,
we don't know that much. Is a forty two year
old guy who was a former veteran of the of

(11:00):
the Japanese Self Defense Force. He was he was a
Navy guy, which I guess partially explains why he can
shoot a gun. Um, but yeah, the details are really murky.
What we've got at time of recording is the Japanese
police saying that it wasn't because of a political thing,
and that it was because of a group that he
was that I was a member of. Who the funk

(11:23):
knows what that means. That can mean any number of things.
I I'm not going to speculate live on here because
I I don't know. Yeah, but also it was extremely
funny and we should we should talk about the weapon
that was Yeah, this is why this is one of
the reasons why it's extremely funny, and we we should

(11:45):
probably gonna hands over to James because James is a
bit a bit more of an expert in this type
of uh D I Y weapon rate of So what
what the fund is going on with this home made gun? Yeah?
This ship, Yeah, this ship is fucking this ship. This
is crazy. Um yeah, it's extremely funny. It's extremely funny

(12:09):
that all these people with fifty thou followers on Twitter
who quote and quote do ocean like immediately label this
is a three D printed gun, which is not. It
does not look this gun is being held together with
duct tape like that. That is that. That is the
kind of weapon that we're dealing with you. This is
this is a homemade gun, like held together with fucking

(12:30):
duct tape. It is extremely It is like he got
blowed up by an electric blunderbuss. It is. Yeah, like
there could very well be three D printed parts in
like around it. But it is. But it's not. It's
not looking. It's it's it's not like it's not like
an f DC nine or anything. Um, it's it's a
weird like electronic pipe duct taped together shotgun. Yeah, it's

(12:55):
I think perhaps if people don't understand, we should like
break down how firearms work broadly and and how this
one works specifically, right, So, like, and there's no reason
why you should be familiar with this, but like you
need something to explode, something to make it explode, and
something to go at the end, and a way to
make sure it only goes in one direction. Right. Uh.
So what this character has done is seemingly it's yeah,

(13:18):
it's like a blunderbuss or a musket in that it
seems to be like muzzle loaded from the front. Uh.
And uh, I'm looking at it now and it really
is just covered in duct tape. I tweeted a picture
of it. It's a gay. Yeah, this ship is is
very old fashioned. He seems to have made his own
powder to like it was very very smoky, which you

(13:39):
can do. I'm not gonna tell you how to do it,
but it's the thing that is possible. And so essentially
from what I'm seeing here, it looks like it's like
a piso electric ignition which then ignites this homemade powder
that he had. Uh. And then he's put something in
a shotgun means it doesn't have rifling, right, so it
doesn't imparts been on the projectile. So he's basically got

(14:02):
two pipes a pierzo electric ignitis, some homemade powder, and
then he could have put nails in there. He could
have put a castlet ball, anything, bolts, And this wasn't
the only homemade weapon he had. The police rated his house.
He had a whole bunch of supplies that looks it

(14:22):
looks out of like it looks like it's out of
like fallout or something. It is like there was one
like blunderbust that had nine different barrels, all duct tapes together.
It's like exposed wiring, exposed circuit boards, like it's it's
like it's extremely JANKI yeah, it's like I'm not entirely

(14:44):
sure that the nine barrel one the central barrel isn't
touched by the by the structural duct tape, and I'm
not sure that it wouldn't have moved in one direction
or the other when he fired it. In Yeah, I
think that's a that's like a yoga. I can't he's
put something on the He's made a butt stock with
that one, so like he can be shoulder it, I guess.

(15:05):
And I don't know if that's like a piece of
tire or what. But yeah, yeah, this is not a
precision weapon. Wooden boards. There's like some type of like
reflect It looks almost like a smartphone's attached to some
of the wiring, or like there's something reflective screen that
looks like it's like like an electronic control box, which

(15:25):
could could just be like an old smartphone or something. Yeah,
I wondered if he could, because that's what you use
for for an improvised explosive device, right, it's a it's
a cell phone to actuate it. So it could be
maybe he had a plan to just put it near
where are they was going to be and then call
it and then that would be well, I mean, this
is a this is a much better assassinated it has

(15:47):
the stock, So I'm guessing. I'm guessing would he beginning
to hold it because otherwise there's no reason to put
the butt stock there? Yeah, but who knows, Like this
guy is operating on a different level. We have no
way to know what he was saying gig at least
at least at least not at the moment. What he
was thinking was I want to kill shinzo Abe with
my pipes and planks. He did it. He's exactly whatever

(16:10):
you think of him. This man didn't successfully kill Shenzo
Abbe with a gun held together by duct tape. It's
it's pretty impressive, Like I think the everything about this
is kind of impressive. Is a he so so he
there were there were two barrels on it that each fired,
and he managed to hit him from like a pretty
good distance away. Like we don't have there's there's no

(16:30):
video that directly well at least not that's out yet
that's like directly shows the shooting. We have a lot
of video because ib is giving a speech, right, so
we have a bunch of video of like filming Abbe
and it's and because of where it is coming from
off screen, like that was a pretty good distance. And
as best I can tell, he only hit Abbe. I
don't I don't think. I haven't seen any reports of
anyone else getting hit. So I yeah, impressed. That is

(16:52):
Actually that is actually kind of slightly surprising. Yeah, there was,
there was no one else hit. It's like he just
got the guy he was. It's like that that that
is genuinely pretty rare, and assassinations like like basically like
a homemade blunderbust cannon was like surprisingly surprisingly controlled that accurate. Yeah,
I just found a picture of it with the Cyberpunkies

(17:16):
seven logo underneath you, which is pretty great. Yeah, that's rule.
Yeah he did manage to cause it kind of just
put like a large, massive lead ball in it, I guess,
and yeah, whatever, because I don't think it. I don't
think it was one thing. So that one of the
one thing I could say about the that we guys

(17:37):
we know about the EMMA was that like there they
were like a bunch of like they're they're one of
the much of the reports about the injuries that he suffered.
We're talking about like he got hit in the back,
but they're also holes in his neck. So my guess
from a lot of there's a lot of blood from
a lot of different places. Yeah, I guess there wasn't
one thing then, But I don't know. Everything that is

(17:59):
kind of interest about this is like the extent to
which Okay, so like he was like it was like
very clearly dead, like people people had like reported him
at the scene is having no vitals and they were like, yeah,
his heart stopped and they helicoptered at him to like
what Tokyo, Yeah, tokyo. But the Japanese government did a
very good job of making sure the press had like
no information, and so there was just like there was

(18:21):
like many many many hours where they were like pretending
that he wasn't dead and like wouldn't confirm that he
was dead. And he's like this, this man is clearly
dead as ship. Like he has gotten blown up by
a blunderbus like in the back. His next gone. He's like,
I mean, he's not not gone like his his next
his next been shot. His heart is stopped and they
just sort of like keep it there for for a

(18:44):
pretty impressively long long time. And that's the only thing
we we know very little about what happened and why. Um,
the press has been keeping the government's be keeping a
very tight lid on information about the shooting so far. Yeah,

(19:09):
I guess we want to pivot into the gun control
side of this. Um, I guess. Okay, So the I
mean like there was a mayor shot a few years ago. Yeah,
just Yaka is a guy shot the mayor of Nagasaki,
so like, and like there's a there's been a lot
of people like journalists and people who are like supposedly
japan experts who are like, oh, this is really rare

(19:30):
in Japanese culture is like no, it's not people get assassinated,
like like the Japan has a very low rate of
gun violence, but of that gun violence and the number
of politicians going to get asassinated it is like unbelievably high.
And you know, I mean like that there have been there,
There's been a lot of us. I mean like Abe's
like grandfather, it was a yakishi like got stabbed right
after we left office, like and he only didn't die

(19:52):
because the guy who stabbed him claimed that he wasn't
trying to kill him, he was just stabbing him, which
is one of the weirdest things I've ever heard. Like
I don't know, I suspect some yaks of bullshit was
going on there. But yeah, like Japan has assassinations. Um it.
There's there's this weird thing where people think Japan is
this place that's like like no violence happens, like it's

(20:15):
a completely orderly society. It's like all this all this
like weird stuff famously past Japan. Yeah, it's like like
this this is a country, like this is a country
where people like like even in like the seventies and
like if through the eighties, people would charge like rb
convoys with sticks and like fight them. Like. This is
a country that like like people, they have a sort

(20:40):
of ape ship switch that just like, Yeah, they have
their fair share of like cults that do acts of
violence like this, fair share of political streamists that do
as violence like this, and like everywhere else in like
like everywhere else in the world, stuff just happens sometimes. Yeah,
I think it is interesting that like Japan has extremely

(21:03):
strict gun control, right, like licenses, test background checks, prohibitions
on most people learning and carrying. But like it's kind
of interesting that this is more of a like a
First Amendment question, I guess in American terms, right, Like,
if you're on the internet enough, I'm sure it looks
like this person has just googled how to make gun

(21:26):
and like this is what came up. And so I
think it's kind of fascinating that that this person has
been like aside from their possible connection to any criminal networks,
but like, I know the Yakuza were selling guns to
people in me and Mark pretty recently, so they have
access to this. Yeah, and like the mayor who got
whacked by yaks, a guy like if the Arkansas is

(21:47):
going to do like, I don't know if yours is
going to do a killing like they like they they
have access to web, they would use a real gun,
were abductive together. Okay, so like probably, but also like
I wouldn't completely rule it out because I wouldn't rule
out them just finding some guy and doing this thing
the FBI does and it's like, hey, you're gonna go
do an attack now, Like it wouldn't. It wouldn't surprise

(22:10):
me if if they did that as like a plusable
an ideally thing, but like we don't know. Um, I
still don't think we can rule out that head out.
Kajima is the mastermind behind this, um and it's all
I know, right, it's it's just employed to play his
next game. UM, just have to add a few like
nonsense names to the all the all the people involved,

(22:33):
like Blunderbustman, and then it's just it's it's easy, easy.
But yeah, it's fascinating that this person was seemingly like
maybe had other plans or had tried several other like
craft firearms, and settled on this one. But yeah, they
have access to a lot of pipes, that's for sure.

(22:56):
M did you guys see the yuk as a guy
who was arms dealing to me and Ma. No no
oh for fucking wild. So he was like extensively stung
by the Feds. To this guy, he was yuck as

(23:18):
a He was part of it like a ongoing sting
operation for like several years where he was selling like
basically like trading guns for drugs, trading guns to buy drugs.
He was selling to a couple of groups in Me
and Ma. He was two groups in like the Tamil
region and a couple of other people and he uh,

(23:40):
he was at least one of the people he thought
was a buyer was actually a fed And they've captured
all of these amazing conversations where they call the guns
like cake and ice cream. Like one of the one
of the things in the in the criminal complaint, it's
a picture of him just with like a a law

(24:02):
like an anti tank weapon and he's just like giving
it like the V sign, and he's wearing these like
yellow aviators and a leather jacket. Like. The way they
arrested him was at a steakhouse I think either in
New York or New Jersey, but like they lured him
into a steakhouse meeting and then he got busted by
the FEDS. But yeah, these guys were trafficking like serious

(24:23):
stuff like surface to our missiles some things. They have
access to some pretty heavy equipment. Yeah, that's a that's
a pretty old Like the octicer has been sort of
like I don't know how you describe it, like a
kind of like para arm of the Japanese state in
a lot of ways for a very very long time.

(24:45):
Like there are there have been like the acts of
people with basically special forces training. Um, they they at
one point like kidnapped and killed the Empress of Korea
as part of like a thing to like justify starting
a war. So they are they're very well hooked up.
I I I don't know, it's still unclear to be
because like that's the obviously everything again, like they're the

(25:06):
LDP has a lot of Yakuza connections because kind of okay,
partially kind of everything is, but partially also because the
Accusa were like I sort of founding like political block
of the l d P in the first place. So
who knows, Like LDP people have gotten like attacked by

(25:27):
Akas people before. It could be that it could be
something else. We sort of just don't know yet. Um, yeah,
there's nothing identifying this guy. Like I'm just looking at
a picture of him, and there's nothing particularly sort of
identifying his clothing or anything like that. Yeah, I guess.
I guess that's the deficians of extremely critical support to

(25:53):
Hideo Kajima and all of the other freedom fighters. Oh,
I guess I guess we could talk a little bit
about the international response to this, Yeah, because people have
no idea what's ethnic. Yeah, I mean, like so like
all the Americans are sorry of like are doing the
all American liberals sort of doing like, oh my god,
he was a good guy. It's like, no, he wasn't.
This guy was a monster. Um okay, I will say this,

(26:17):
both the Chinese and the Korean embassies are being surprisingly
diplomatic about it, as in, no one they haven't no
one has actively insulted him yet social media wise. Likely
that's a good move for like inter country relationship. But like,
I okay, like try Japanese relationships with Korea, with South
Korea and North Korea are really bad, And a lot

(26:40):
of the reason why they're really bad is specifically because
of Chang Sawabe and because of all of his bullshit.
They're happy, but they're not gonna like Rubb it. I mean,
it's it's not clear to me that they wouldn't have
done this if this had happened to like the two
thou Tangs, Like these guys really hate each other. Um. Yeah,
there's been some sort of like people people are trying

(27:02):
to do a Taiwan angle on this because Obb is
like a Taiwan supporter, But I don't Yeah, I don't
think there's actually that much. The Peo people want this
to have much more geo political like significance than it
probably actually will. Um yeah, yeah, well it's meantime. Yeah,

(27:22):
fascist is dead. That's always funny. It happened Uh yeah,
it did in fact happen here. Well it happened over there,
but you know what I mean, Um, it could happen here. Sure,
statistically we are we are about to do Yeah, yeah,

(27:42):
you wouldn't need to to deductate model in America. No,
with the amount of firearms here. It is kind of
a little is sometimes a little surprising how little stuff
like this actually happens. There's obviously a lot of work
that goes into like preventing it, but but still sometimes
it's it's kind of it's kind of shocking. Um yeah,
Like I think, I think. I think if you look
at the last twenty years, I think more Japanese politicians

(28:03):
have been assassin to the American politicians. Like I'm trying
to think of an American politician because because they do
a lot more American politicians and a lot of guns
they killed. They killed when they went after Gabby Giffordge
they killed someone, I think. But yeah, I don't. I'm
trying to think of anyone else other than that, um

(28:25):
not in recent memory. The guy who showed Reagan is
now touring. Yeah, but he didn't even kill him. That's
not even assassination. That's just an asassination attempts, like a
very bouched one. Yeah. Yeah. Cross that crossover between John
Hinckley and Hideo Kajima. It's possible that will be the game.

(28:46):
I'm just gonna keep referring to the suspect of Hideo Kajima.
It's worth noting that like he did have armed God,
so were um God's present that you can see their
guns in their health series. They take down the person
who shot him, but they they were not on their
a game that day. Yeah, that you can see in

(29:07):
the video there's like one of the guys I think,
