The former governor of Tokyo reportedly made a shocking accusation in a recent interview.
Speaking to the Shukan Post, a Japanese tabloid, Shintaro Ishihara claimed that former President Barack Obama ordered the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) to assassinate him, the Tokyo Reporter wrote Wednesday.
Ishihara is said to have claimed that the U.S. should off North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un the way the Obama administration tried to off him.
“Why doesn’t America just assassinate Kim Jong-un already?” Ishihara asked. “I mean, they killed Gaddafi and Bin laden … Assassinations are their specialty.”

“When Tokyo was trying to purchase the Senkaku Islands,” he explained, “Obama told the CIA, ‘Use Chinese people in Japan and kill Ishihara by making it look like a traffic accident.'”
Ishihara served as governor of Tokyo from 1999 to 2012. During his last year in office, he delivered a stunning speech in Washington D.C. in which he declared Japan’s intent to buy the disputed Senkaku/Diaoyu Islands, territories in the East China Sea. China claims the islands, but Japan administers them.
Both the Obama administration and the Trump administration have stated that the U.S.-Japanese security agreement covers the islands, effectively deterring China from unilaterally seizing control of them through force. Beijing believes the islands are indisputable parts of China’s territory.
While in office, Ishihara managed to offend many with his often outrageous statements. He reportedly suggested the U.S. should launch a nuclear attack against Kim Jong-un, in the interview with the Shukan Post.
“Right now, North Korea is probably the only country the world would find acceptable for the United States to drop an atomic bomb on,” Ishihara said. “I don’t think the world would complain even if the leadership of North Korea were to be annihilated by nuclear weapons.”
Ishihara is 84 years old, but he still knows how to make a headline.
Or Breitbart...
‘We kill people, too’
So the libs are not screaming for an independent prosecutor?
Or that singer from Obama’s church.
More credible claim than CNN MSNBC etc etc...
“Or that singer from Obama’s church.”
Or, I believe his name was Lieutenant Quarles, who was involved in scrubbing Obama’s passport records with Brennan....
I should say, this guy does sound like some sort of wing-nut though.
Some of his other thoughts are kind of off the wall.
The NTC killed Khadaffi and his son after capture, although there are some claims he was killed in a firefight with his convoy.
Drones and Royal Airforce are said to have attacked and weakened the Convoy.

So am I but I know when to keep my mouth shut.

Not saying we don’t, but when a guy makes a claim, you have to think about other things he has claimed.
He claimed the U.S. killed Khadaffi. We didn’t.
We did help cause him to be captured as the the Royal Airforce. We did not kill him.
He was killed by the NTC.
For that reason, I think this guy is a little fast and loose with his claims.

He was in power. It was a stable country. Hillary/Obama toppled him and, therefore, he died. But I get your point. Was not a targeted assassination.
I don’t remember that one.

I have caught a few minutes of the MSM today.
This guy is stone cold sane!
I agree with that. We sure played into the hands of the terrorists.
Some folks view them as freedom fighters. Look at the freedom in Libya today. It’s a hell hole.
It has been my stated opinion that taking Khadaffi out was a fools move.
He had mellowed and was not being destructive to his people or anyone else.
His nation was much better off before he was toppled.
We all know that Khadaffi had deserved to die for his deeds for decades. I’m sure many of his subjects wanted him dead. I just think that there are times when ‘a known’ is far superior to an unknown.
Hillary sure liked to gloat about killing him tho.
He said we executed Khadaffi.
We didn’t.
I’m sure she did. I’ll bet those claims got a lot louder after Benghazi too.
In the above article: “I mean, they killed Gaddafi...”
It would be interesting to see the presentation you saw.
I appreciate the mention.
He may sound very reasoned and lucid on the video.
