# Ninja Variant > Global instability rises as Japanese political shifts, Dutch agricultural protests, and Canadian infrastructure failures challenge the narrative of a managed Great Reset. - **Show:** [The No Agenda Show](https://search.noagendashow.net/index.md) - **Episode:** 1467 - **Published:** 2022-07-10 - **Length:** 3h 15m - **Topics:** Abe Assassination, [Dutch Farmers](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/dutch-farmers.md), Ninja Variant, Rogers Outage, Abenomics, [Viktor Bout](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/viktor-bout.md), ArriveCAN - **Web page:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1467-ninja-variant ## About this episode Shinzo Abe's assassination in Nara by a gunman targeting the Unification Church has ignited a global reassessment of the former Prime Minister's legacy. While the suspect, Tetsuya Yamagami, cited his mother's financial ruin at the hands of the religious group, the event exposes the deep-seated tensions surrounding Abenomics and the controversial 2014 reinterpretation of Article 9. This shift toward collective self-defense remains a flashpoint in Japanese politics as the nation balances its pacifist identity with modern military expansion. In the Netherlands, Thierry Baudet of the Forum for Democracy warns that EU Natura 2000 guidelines serve as a pretext for land expropriation to facilitate the Tri-City urban project. This European unrest mirrors the economic collapse in Sri Lanka, where a 2021 chemical fertilizer ban and high ESG scores decimated rice production. Meanwhile, Rogers Communications CEO Tony Staffieri issued a public apology for a massive Canadian network outage that critics link to BGP routing failures and the implementation of Bill C-11 censorship infrastructure. In the United States, the Biden administration negotiates a high-stakes prisoner swap involving Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout for WNBA player Brittney Griner. Public health officials are rebranding the BA.5 Omicron sub-variant as the Ninja variant, with Michael Osterholm warning of extreme transmissibility in common spaces like elevators. Infectious disease experts at UCSF report a seven percent asymptomatic test positivity rate in San Francisco as the White House pivots to marketing pediatric vaccinations through routine well visits. Amidst these health alerts, Ramesh Sunny Balwani faces a fraud conviction for his role at Theranos, and Elon Musk moves to terminate his Twitter acquisition in the Delaware Court of Chancery. ## Chapters Each chapter's transcript is at its own link.
