The Right's America-Hating Preacher

When Moon is discussed, he's usually presented as simply the wacky Unification Church cult leader who somehow parlayed carnation sales by his followers into a vast global fortune.

What is almost never referenced are his long-standing ties to organized crime and international drug smuggling, including the Japanese yakuza gangs and South American cocaine traffickers. Even first-hand accounts of Moon's money-laundering from insiders like his former daughter-in-law Nansook Hong draw no U.S. media attention.

There is way too much information in this article to pick 4 measly paragraphs out for posting. In addition, Parry, as much as I esteem his ability as an investigative reporter, has adopted the BBC "one sentence per paragraph" rule for most of the article.

Please read the whole thing. It's essential reading to understand the conservative movement in both parties.

I got about a quarter way through but I'm saving the rest for later. Thanks for posting.

Here's the bos's son with the Moon's second.



Here's the old lady and her crime boss husband meetin' with the Moons.

There's a famous picture of all of them, but I can't find it right now.

Scum ...... all of 'em.

Geeze, Warpy ...... everyone is speechless over this!

and people are just slack jawed and bored by this stuff.

I was in a conversation with a family member the other day about the Rev. Moon and why he was so evil. I'll be sure to pass this along to him.
