That possibility was always there, but I had thought it more likely that Asanuma was a victim of a conspiracy born within his own nation of Japan.
Blum had no info on the Asanuma case, but his advice told me that the CIA's action here was not all that special and that it was a way of delaying things.

They released the film with reluctance and were very quick to pull it from distribution when four days after its release Inejiro Asanuma, leader of the Japanese communist party, was assassinated.
