How Abe and Japan became vital to Moon’s Unification Church
With door-to-door sales tactics that targeted grieving elderly people and the cultivation of prominent political leaders, the Unification Church has spent decades establishing Japan as its most dependable profit center, according to investigators who study the late Rev. Sun Myung Moon’s many-tentacled spiritual and financial global empire. Now, after the suspected assassin of former Japanese prime
Opinion | Here’s why the U.S. national security apparatus keeps producing failures
If you want one statistic to explain the failure of the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan it is this: The National Security Council met 36 times since April to discuss it. Even more remarkable, this number was shared with the media to illustrate how well the administration had handled things. The U.S. foreign policymaking apparatus has transformed itself into a dinosaur, with a huge body and little
A troubled sequel: Tokyo’s bid to remake classic 1964 Olympics set to disappoint
TOKYO — When Tokyo staged the Olympics in 1964, the Games marked Japan’s reemergence from the ashes of defeat in World War II and symbolized its readmission in the post-war international order. It was a moment of immense national pride. The Games also crowned what author Robert Whiting calls “the greatest urban transformation in history.” Thousands of buildings were put up in a furious rush, new s
Perspective | Olympic leaders are making sure the Tokyo Games are safe — from liability
The Tokyo Games will be safe, perfectly safe. How do I know? Because Baron Von Ripperoff and the other lords at the International Olympic Committee have assured me so. And the IOC’s assurances are to be trusted, are they not? Just look at them, so authoritative in their dark lapels and gold pins and rimless glasses. They’re as immovable and solid as statues. Any resemblance to the living is purely
Perspective | Japan should cut its losses and tell the IOC to take its Olympic pillage somewhere else
Somewhere along the line Baron Von Ripper-off and the other gold-plated pretenders at the International Olympic Committee decided to treat Japan as their footstool. But Japan didn’t surrender its sovereignty when it agreed to host the Olympics. If the Tokyo Summer Games have become a threat to the national interest, Japan’s leaders should tell the IOC to go find another duchy to plunder. A cancell
‘I just want to find 11,780 votes’: In extraordinary hour-long call, Trump pressures Georgia secretary of state to recalculate the vote in his favor
President Trump urged fellow Republican Brad Raffensperger, the Georgia secretary of state, to “find” enough votes to overturn his defeat in an extraordinary one-hour phone call Saturday that legal scholars described as a flagrant abuse of power and a potential criminal act. The Washington Post obtained a recording of the conversation in which Trump alternately berated Raffensperger, tried to flat
Biden plans immediate flurry of executive orders to reverse Trump policies
President-elect Joe Biden is planning to quickly sign a series of executive orders after being sworn into office on Jan. 20, immediately forecasting that the country’s politics have shifted and that his presidency will be guided by radically different priorities. He will rejoin the Paris climate accords, according to those close to his campaign and commitments he has made in recent months, and he
As repression mounts, China under Xi Jinping feels increasingly like North Korea
KASHGAR, China — The first pair of enforcers were waiting at the temperature check before baggage claim at the airport in China's western Xinjiang region. "Passports," they said as the three foreign journalists came off a domestic flight from Beijing this month.
