Trump, Vance take stage at 1st joint rally a week after assassination attempt

Wasn’t planning on going to the zoo today…. Looks like I don’t have to. It’s coming to me via my tv.

GMA getting right back into yellow journalism i see....

Ninjas, as military special forces, have been in operation since the 15th century CE in Japan. They were involved in reconnaissance, intelligence, and spying during the Warring States Period1. The silent, black-clad ninja who spies, sabotages, and assassinates remains a popular character in modern books and films2.Who were the Ninja? More accurately known throughout history as Shinobi. This video serves as a first in a series working alongside Historian, Author, and YouTuber Antony Cummins. It is here we shall dive deep into the history of espionage in Japan to uncover the evolution of Japan's shadowy warriors. I do think it's important to distinguish history from fiction, but I also don't think that means abandoning our pop culture fantasies as well. I feel like there's absolutely room to both tell stories about our beloved mysterious clans of shadow assassins, while also acknowledging that it's fantasy, just as we do with wizards, dragons and elves. Regarding assassinations, the absence of direct evidence of shinobi assassinations does not exactly mean it did not happen. Getting rid of people who your lord finds problematic has been (and still is?) a thing pretty much everywhere so why it would not be in the far east? And if the assassin was good, he would not exactly leave a sign that this person was killed by a shinobi, that kinda misses the point of assassination (unless you are trying to send a message, mafia style). An open murder from outsiders perspective could be seen as yet another fight in the street where a person happened to get killed and the killer escaped. Or poisoning could be seen as a premature death by natural causes, unless someone who knows this shit examines the body more closely. I am just saying that the idea of specialised covert operators never assassinating anyone is just as dubious as the fantasy ninja clans all wearing black throwing shurikens. Are we just swinging from one extreme to another here? Well, you missed out on a pair of huge popularizations... first being Jiraiya Goketsu Monogatari, that is a 1839 series of novels that held such influence that characters became part of the Naruto franchise, and another being 1958's Kōga Ninpōchō Which has been adapted several times over as well. Both set up the Ninja heros as having supernatural abilities.This is the problem I have with alot of people examining something like shinobi, archery or swordmanship of the past. "If it's not written down, it didn't exist or wasn't done that way." What documents managed to survive the passage of itme is not the total sum of all knowledge about that subject. A good portion is gonna be lost or wasn't even written down. If you're really trying to figure it out, you're gonna have to make inferences. I like this video. I always suspected ninja were actually a form of samurai. As far as assassination, I don't if they were called shinobi, but they definitely existed. I wish I could remember the name of the assassin that single handedly infiltrated a castle and drilled a hole in the floor above the lord's bed. And then lowered a string down to his mouth and dripped poison down it. He was unsuccessful but that was definitely an assassination attempt! I find it much more interesting in imagining the shinobi as commandos and soldiers who'd not shy away from unconventional warfare in order to gain the edge, rather that the old, tired trope of the master assassin I've read something similar about Ninja long ago. One thing that made 'Ninja' become popular was Kabuki in the Edo period. From what I've read, in a stage performance, people would need to replace backdrops and background props without having to bother the performers. Much like in the Japanese show 'Kasou Taishou'. In that show people would perform short skits with "special effects". The performers were amateur groups with costumes and props and were tasked to create an illusion of a film or even anything in real life with a special effect, well, effect. But, I digress. Those in 'the background' at the performances in the Edo period would don black clothes also to make them hidden from the audience. Also, like what you've mentioned, a romanticizing of the 'Ninja' figure came from novels and plays. One novel that I can mention came from a folklore which most Naruto fan (like myself) would remember: "Jiraiya Gōketsu Monogatari" about a toad riding Ninja (rings a bell?).To echo the point many have raised, I think that the toughest part of addressing the existence of shinobi is that they have a legacy of being secretive by nature. But I also think that there are some other factors to consider. I am not any kind of expert on Japanese culture or the feudal period and readily admit that essentially all of what I have seen has come from pop culture. But I do have to ask the question - if shinobi did engage in assassination in an era where honor was essentially everything, would anyone in a prominent position own up to using such means? It seems odd to me that not one person would potentially use an assassin or engage in assassination in any time period of war as human beings. This is not a statement to besmirch anyone's honor. It is not to impugn your research. I merely raise the question because of human nature and the time period. Indeed, upon further reflection, the legendary tale of "The 47 Ronin" was an assassination (a political act) as much as it was a show of loyalty and commitment. Moreover, the men who did so reportedly disguised themselves and hid their plans as well as actions literally for years before engaging in their fateful choices. I am not saying that these men where shinobi. I just use it as an example of having a very particular skill set, an agenda, a plan, hiding all of the above, and then executing said plan in a very deliberate fashion. Another part that I think bears pondering is the impact of the caste system on Japan. To this day, caste plays a role in many social situations that extend to employment, marriage, safety, education, and more. If people were of a different caste and engaged in an action that was beneficial to a samurai, daimyo, etc, would it even be acknowledged let alone recorded? And wouldn't these segments of society be the perfect recruiting ground because it would be unthinkable to many? The martial arts practices are yet another question. Secret martial arts techniques, although depicted in a very exaggerated fashion in pop culture media, do exist. There are places where "outsiders" are virtually never allowed to be taught a particular style. And there are families in martial arts that are known for their prowess across generations. Although the techniques are not "secret," the Gracie Clan and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu are essentially synonymous as just one example. I am not at all saying that you claim to pose a definitive answer. Nor am I looking to say that my very cursory thinking compares to your research. It categorically does not. But I do think that conceptually, there is still a lot to ponder. Thank you for your channel and its videos. I wish you the best in all things.I got a question so a friend of mine is saying that the ninja only wore black clothes and worked stealthily and they didn't blend into the enemy forces cause it would ruin their pride so what do you guys think? “We’ve never heard or can confirm shinobi have assassinated anyone” that means they did a really good job. Back in the 80s the ninja was very popular because all the CRAZY movies plus there was TV series starring Lee Van Cleef that use to come on Friday nights back in 1984. There always a fascination with the mysterious and unknown and the ninja fits in with this. Shinobi could mean a lot of things. It's a bit like how nowadays we have tons of things like spies, agents, operatives, intelligence officers etc and they can all be the same thing or completely different but they'll all have different meanings or similarities depending on who uses the term. It's a bit like the old "they're called operatives, not spies" well it depends where you are and who you're working with. Everything is contextually relative to that. There could have easily been Shinobi specifically trained for wetwork but that may or may not have been universal across time periods or geographic location. Like in modern times, propositioned Assassins/Killers are usually outsiders to further enhance deniability. No evidence of shinobi assassinations ? Bro, this might sound like a shocker but as long as assassinations were a thing in feudal Japan, and I'm sure they were, the shinobi were best suited for it. Unless of course, there was a special type of military unit each lord had that was specifically designed to assassinate. But then again, that would be a sub division of shinobi, or the shinobi would be a sub division of that particular unit. Also, why would the shinobi working with the samurai be a surprise? That's the point, military units work together to form an organization called an army. Only children would believe shinobi and samurai were adversaries on the battlefield. They were adversaries only in the difference of nature (Night and Day)Honestly, I think Shogun 2 has a good portrayal of the Shinobi. People may have already mentioned it, but I appreciate the fact that going for an assassination in that game is almost always the hardest thing for a Shinobi to do. Hence, they spend more time walking around, scouting and sabotaging rather than assassinating.
