  1. My Viking ancestors had a special prayer specifically for funerals. Because I couldn't be there I'll say it now:

    Lo there do I see my father,
    lo there do I see my mother and my sisters and my brothers.
    Lo there do I see the line of my people back to the beginning,
    Lo, they do call to me, they bid me take my place among them.
    In the halls of Valhalla, where the brave may live forever.

  2. Meanwhile the Chinese celebrate the death of PM Abe by putting up red banners “Great news that Abe is dead” and restaurant owners offering customers discounts. To see proofs look up the great translation movement

  3. My condolences to the prime minister. But I have no sympathy for him or his political affiliations. He and his Nippon Kaigi cronies have controlled Japan for a long time by distorting Japan’s role in WWII and denying war crimes against Asians (predominantly Koreans and Chinese), Europeans, and Americans in Japan’s education. Japan may be one of the safest nations in the world. Still, as long as his cronies remain in control, minorities in Japan, countries neighboring Japan, and Asian Americans will never be safe from people like him and his political affiliations.

  4. L'Assassinat de ShinZo Abe est un Acte Populaire. L'auteur de l'assassinat, un ancien officier de l'armée, vient du Peuple. Reconnaissant les faits accomplis l'auteur n'a pas cherché à fuir. Contraire à la tentative d'assassinat de Adolf Hitler du 20 juillet 1944 par le Colonel Stauffenberg, cet acte isolé de dénazification a bien réussi. On verra si cet acte changera le cours de l'histoire du Japon. Né dans une famille de renom de réputation Nazie ShinZo Abe est un Nazi reconnu de la troisième génération. Premier ministre pendant une dizaine d'années ShinZo Abe a imposé ses mesures au Peuple du Japon, ce qui conduit à la vengeance du Peuple du Japon à son égard.

    The Assassination of ShinZo Abe is a Popular Act. The author of the assassination, a former army officer, comes from the People. Acknowledging the fait accompli, the author did not seek to flee. Unlike the attempted assassination of Adolf Hitler on July 20'th 1944 by Colonel Stauffenberg, this isolated act of denazification was successful. We will see if this act will change the course of Japan's history. Born in a renowned Family of Nazi reputation ShinZo Abe is a recognized Nazi of the third generation. Prime Minister for a decade ShinZo Abe imposed his measures on the People of Japan, which leads to the revenge of the People of Japan against him.!!

    刺杀安倍晋三是一个受欢迎的行动。刺杀的肇事者,一名前军官,来自人民。他承认既成事实,没有试图逃跑。与1944年7月20日施陶芬贝格上校企图刺杀阿道夫·希特勒不同,这一孤立的去纳粹化行动是成功的。我们将看看这一行动是否会改变日本的历史进程。出生于一个著名的纳粹家庭,安倍晋三是第三代公认的纳粹。安倍晋三十年来,将他的措施强加给日本人民,导致日本人民对他的报复。

    安倍晋三の刺殺は歓迎すべき動きだった。 刺殺の加害者、元将校は、人々から来ました。 彼はフェイト・アクリプリーを認め、逃げようとしなかった。 1944年7月20日にシュタウフェンベルク大佐がアドルフ・ヒトラーを刺殺しようとしたのとは異なり、この孤立した脱ナチス化は成功しました。 この行動が日本の歴史を変えるかどうか見ていきます。 有名なナチスの家庭に生まれ、安倍晋三は3代目として認められたナチスです。 安倍晋三は10多年間、日本国民に彼の措置を課し、国民に報復を招いてきた。!!!!!

  5. My condoleances to the family of Mr. Abe and the whole Japanese people. Mr. Abe will be deeply missed.

  6. Rest In Peace , Abe Sir.. 🙏🙏

  7. Only of God this is all.. Pray this for all countries and then live so we can have a good life.

    He is good the one who shot, but he harmed. So don't harm please. And tell people how good God is for letting us have a beautiful soul and spirit of a man who loved his country , God and fellow countrymen.

    And so I leave he said in the hand of God. So sweet I say. That's all.

  8. More leftist violence. Abe was a true champion against globalism and communist China. RIP Abe san.

  9. I never liked Shinzo Abe.
    I am glad he is dead.

  10. Japanese are so respectful. How they honor people.

  11. Having defaming Abe's reputation with so many fabricated stories for so many years, jerks in Japanese mass media must be shocked to see their efforts didn't work on us at all. Now watch how much we love him.

  12. This news reminds me of him having been suspected, which was called 'Sakura wo mirukai' and is not solved as far as I know. To protect his honor, we must demand the right organizations to investigate thoroughly.

  13. Rest in Peace Great Leader Shinzo Abe, I am deeply saddened by your passing My sincere condolences to your family and the poeple of Japan

  14. do you under stand this …. yet …. false christ comes first …… its the most frightening thing the world has ever seen …… and no one knows about it …. it will be headline news around the world

  15. They have to, for the kreditpunts QR

  16. Without traditional burial ceremony, japan has rushed late ex-PM to his final destination of cremation to end the sorrowful page of violence. He was the 5th JP PM died in assassination since the 19th century. Surprisingly, japanese royal family was kind of silence on his assassination. So be other royal families around the world. Just another death of a common people?

  17. 🙏←This is the way playing for the dead person or Buddha in Japan, not for living person. Sometimes European people greet me with this way → 🙏… It's so strange in Japan. We only bow each other.
    I think this is Thailand's greeting "wai".🙏 Please remember, Japan is not Thailand!! we don't do "wai"

  18. 😪❤️🇯🇵💐🙏🏽🙏

  19. Japan 💓🙏🙏🙏
