Subject: RE: BS: Here come the 'Raelian' clones
An quote from an article at the link I gave previously regarding the Washington Times, owned my the Moonies (who also purchased United Press International).
"On Tuesday, May 21st 2002, controversial religious figurehead, alleged cult leader and
self-proclaimed Messiah Sun Myung Moon, is to sponsoring a banquet celebrating the newspaper's
20th anniversary. A substantial list of host Senators, Representatives and other politicians think they
are supporting just a conservative newspaper, but are unwittingly endorsing the Moon agenda. Mr.
Moon has used the newspaper along with U.P.I. to develop his power base for his ambitions–to
establish an "automatic theocracy" in which he runs the world. Despite a politically conservative
pro-family slant, the Times has also been the paper of choice for several Christian groups who are
apparently unaware of Moon's true theology.
"The public thinks that the Moonies have gone away. They haven't. They have been quite busy in
recent years, focusing their recruitment efforts to politicians, business people and even Christian
clergy," says Steven Hassan, former Moonie, author, licensed counselor and mind control expert.
"They are still deceptive and quite dangerous," Hassan says, "Back in 1974-1976, Moon talked
about setting up a global infrastructure so that when the world economy faltered, we would be there
to feed people and give them jobs."
Moon's stated ambitions include the establishment of a one-world government run as an automatic
theocracy by Moon and his leaders. "Bush's faith-based initiative seems to be ideal to help them in
their quest for a one world theocratic government," Hassan says, "I am sure President Bush is not
aware that Moon has repeatedly said that America (and democracy) is Satanic." Moon's vision of the
Kingdom of Heaven on Earth includes the absorption of all the world religions into Unificationism as
well as the abolishment of all languages except Korean. Core Moonie members do a ritual pledge
service every Sunday morning, bowing before an altar with Moon's picture on it and promising to
fight for the Fatherland (Korea)..."
