Moonie elder spills some beans & why TV won't do Moon
Advertisements [?]
Edited on Tue Oct-04-05 01:58 AM by Cell Whitman
to folks who follow Moon, this is quite large....

Larry Zilliox passed on this observation from an article in the Kodiak Daily Mirror. Larry is the President of Investigative Research Specialists, LLC - and the one who maintains the most up to date list of Moon front groups housed at Steve Hassan's Freedom of Mind site - find the list HERE.

Here's what Larry's sharp eye observed:

This is the first time I have seen a Moon follower admit during an interview that the primary activity of the businesses is to support Moon's social objectives. "Cooper said the company is a way Moon found to make the church and its associated movements for world peace self-sufficient." This quote is especially telling. "As Kim puts it, although the church and the company are separate, “We actually go toward the same goal — to make a kind of ideal world.”

Why is this important? Because, as you will see in a 1990 NBC Nightly News transcript found below, Moon's organization tries to deceive people into thinking Moon's businesses are ONLY businesses, like any other. Even though Moon says they can't separate the religious from the political, in the past they didn't want people to know that all of Moon's fronts are cogs in his movement. The moonies have known that many companies and individuals would not work with them if they knew they were helping Moon build his planet manipulation machine. People needed a way to rationalize what they were doing, especially before decades of mainstreaming of the Moon organization by the conservative movement.

Of course anyone who has read even a smidgen about Moon and his organization knows that the belief that anything Moon starts is not designed to help the group manipulate the planet is just ridiculous. Can't say it enough, the idea that the Wasington Times or any of Moon's fronts somehow don't have his world plans at the heart of their reason for existence is just silly to anyone who looks. Working to put he and his group in charge of the direction of world events is all Moon and his organization do.

Below is a transcript I made of a NBC Nightly News from 1990 which shows the deception in action. Given the Kodiak Daily comments by two members, including an elder in the church, one has to wonder why anyone would believe anything the leaders of this group say.

Here's some background on some of those interviewed for the NBC report:

Steve Hassan - former member and leader of the Moon organization. He is now a cult exit counselor and licensed mental health therapist:here is Steve's page on Moon's group.

Bo Hi Pak: Pak was Moon's longtime interpreter and advance man. Pak came to America ten years in advance to set the groundwork for Moon's official arrival in 1971 to take the helm of the US operation. Pak is currently in prison for fraud. Moon has done nothing to help him even though, imho, Pak made Moon what he is today. Now Moon's daughter, who is also Pak's daughter in law, has started an effort to save Pak. In a bit a irony, given that Moon's organization has made billions swindling the Japanese, Pak was swindled by people apparently introduced to him by members of Moon's organization which lead to his being held in the hoozecow. Read about it here and see Pak shaking hands with US politicians.

Joe Rothstein: President of Capitol Video.

Michael Warder: Worked directly with Moon for many years, helping him with his newspaper in New York. Warder stated in a FRONTLINE report that Moon wanted a media totally loyal to him. I don't think this means Moon must own them, just that the media won't give him any trouble by exposing to the American public what he is doing behind the scenes to mold our nation politically. Moon has that now with the American TV and major print media who refuse to inform the nation about Moon's efforts. This allows Moon to gig more ministers and move his theofascist ball down the field.

Jonathon Park: Bo Hi Pak's son. If you believe the bean spillers in the Kodiak Daily report, as anyone familiar with the subject would, then Park is doing what former members say moonies are trained to do, that is, use "heavenly deception" claiming the church doesn't influence the business.

James Whelan: Highly recruited by the Moon organization, Whelan was the first editor and publisher of the Washington Times. He quit a little over a year later, calling the WT a "moonie paper" and saying he had "blood on his hands" for helping the paper gain respectability.

here's the transcript... I believe you can read these tea leaves and see why TV doesn't do Moon. Be kind of hard for them to do a report about how Moon has manipulated our nation politically and then have to admit they helped him do it.

NBC Nightly News with Tom Brokaw August 1990. Jamie Gangel reporting from Washington D.C..

Tom Brokaw: Decades ago Rev. Sun Myung Moon was accused of controlling the minds of young people - creating so called "moonies." Well, he's avoided public controversy since that time but quietly, he and his organization have been building a powerful business empire and some of his former top aids say that makes him even more dangerous now.

The latest from NBC's Jamie Gangel:

(scene: Moon mass wedding with participants at Moon's direction raising hands and yelling "mansie" in unison three times)

Gangel: Sun Myung Moon, 1982, this is what most people remember; the mass weddings, the moonies, young people sent out to sell flowers and give all their money to the church. Since then, Rev. Moon and his followers have built an empire but critics still charge the UC is a destructive cult.

Steve Hassan: It's an international conglomerate of people who are completely under complete the control of Moon and his leadership. It's an organization that wants to take over the world and has been working to do so, relentlessly.

JG: They own - prime real estate in all fifty states, one third of the U. S. fishing industry, banks, hotels, a weapons factory, even this fancy French jewelry company (show Christian Bernard Jewelers) and now the Moon organization is focussing on television. In a rare interview we spoke to Moon's right hand man, Bo Hi Pak. He told us, their goal is a national cable network.

Bo Hi Pak: It's going to be a America's television, promote America's ideology, America's worldview, which is God centered world view, traditional values, that is what America needs.

JG: And the point man for the TV operation is Jonathon Park, Bo Hi Pak's son. Funded in part by Church related businesses, in the past five years Park has bought virtually every independent television production company in Washington DC. He's built this $90 million dollar complex and now controls five companies, including the largest state of the art studio in town. He's even bought into Nostalgia cable, a system that reaches almost 11 million viewers. It's made competitors nervous.

Joe Rothstein: I think the immediate danger in the Washington area is that would get a lock on all the means of television and video production.

Jonathon Park: There is no other motive, no other hidden agenda. These businesses are run for profit and they're operated very much like any other well run company.

JG: And the church will not influence them?

Jonathon Park: Absolutely, no.


JG: In fact, Park's clients say there has not been any influence and very few of his employees are even church members but critics say there is another agenda.

Warder: If you want to be the second coming of Christ, you want all the power you want all the money, you want control of all the media. That's the objective.

JG: And if the names of your clients are a measure of your power and prestige, Jonathon Park and the Moon organization can now claim they are accepted by a virtual who's who of the TV industry.

(video of CNN lead in) CNN is one of the most visible. It rents many of its crews and technical staff from Park. NBC, ABC, CBS, and many of their affiliates also give Park business.

James Whelan: People are cooperating willy nilly throwing their money at them, throwing their reputations, their prestige, their honor even, at the moonie cause and choosing not to look. See no evil, hear no evil....

JG: Other are Ted Koppel communications, many foreign networks and Entertainment Tonight.

SH: Doing business with Moon is giving credibility and legitimacy to a man who is, in my opinion, a total demagogue, who runs a destructive cult, that uses deception, mind control, and hurts thousands and thousands of people.


JG: The Moon organization vehemently denies these attacks.

Bo Hi Pak: They're the liars, they're liars and premeditated to destroy our church and I know one thing, we speaking the truth. And I know who Rev. Moon is, he's a man of God. (...unintelligible) God's is truth. I know we shall prevail because "truth" shall prevail.

JG: Should anyone be worried about this? Critics say "Yes" - that Moon's agenda is power, taking over the world. But the church insists that's absurd, that it's just investing in legitimate businesses.

Here's the link to the whole Kodiak article and a pertinent excerpt. For the most part this article is just another detailing how rooted Moon is now in our nation. Thank you conservatives.
I understand Moon is the biggest employer in Kodiak.

Unification Church has long history in Kodiak
Article published on Friday, September 30th, 2005
By ANDREW WELLNER
Mirror Writer

Moon approves land purchases. And once his stamp of approval is on a transaction and the property is in hand, the company can’t sell it without his consent.
While the business isn’t owned by or even formally affiliated with the UC, they do have tight connections. Moon does the bulk of the decision making for both the church and the company.

And members move back and forth. Rev. Cheol Ho Bang, now the pastor at the Kodiak church, worked for a few years in the company. And Jang Kim, an executive at the plant, was once a pastor.

Cooper said the company is a way Moon found to make the church and its associated movements for world peace self-sufficient.

The movement estimates that 90 percent of its resources go toward various activities they sponsor to promote social justice issues.

As Kim puts it, although the church and the company are separate, “We actually go toward the same goal — to make a kind of ideal world.”

Here are the first four findings of the 70s congressional investigation of Korean influence on our nation. You can find a 43 page excerpt pdf file of the United States House of Representatives. Investigation of Korean-American Relations, Report of the Subcommittee on International Relations (known as the Fraser Report) by scrolling down HERE.

These are pretty straight forward findings, wouldn't you say? Why would anyone say anything Moon touches isn't part of the plan?

1. The UC (Unification Church) and numerous other religious and secular organizations headed by Sun Myung Moon constitute essentially one international organization. This organization depends heavily upon the interchangeability of its components and upon its ability to move personnel and financial assets freely across international boundaries and between businesses and nonprofit organizations.

2. The Moon Organization attempts to achieve goals outlined by Sun Myung Moon, who has substantial control over the economic, political, and spiritual activities undertaken by the organization in pursuit of those goals.

3. Among the goals of the Moon Organization is the establishment of a worldwide government in which the separation of church and state would be abolished and which Moon and his followers would govern.

4. In pursuit of this and other goals, the Moon Organization has attempted, with varying degrees of success, to gain control over or establish business and other secular institutions in the United States and elsewhere, and has engaged in political activities in the United States. Some of these activities were undertaken to benefit the ROK Government or otherwise influence U.S. foreign policy.
