Hi All,
Really can't help myself. Must add this one. The world keeps
getting stranger and yes I agree that successful titration will eventually

Lunies are running the Usylum
MOONSTRUCK
The news of a very strange event that occurred at the end of March, but was
quietly
swept under the carpet by the mainstream media, is just now beginning to
leak out.
Expect to hear more about it in the coming days. Hereâs a preview on what
surely
must be one of the most bizarre happenings in the long history of
Congressional
oddities·
It occurred on March 23, 2004 when Reverend Sun Myung Moon, cultist leader
of
the Unification Church (currently known as The Family Federation for World
Peace
and Unification), was crowned ãKing of Peaceä in a coronation ceremony. In
his
coronation speech, Moon told the audience that it was now time to officially
recognize him as the returned Messiah.
Ha-ha funny? Not really. Moon is not just an odd duck÷he is an influential,
politically well-connected, and extremely dangerous odd duck.
Case in point: the event÷the ãAmbassadors for Peaceä awards÷was held at the
Dirksen Senate Office Building in Washington DC, and reportedly attended by
81
members of Congress.
It gets stranger. According to the Washington Post, Moon was crowned by Rep.
Danny K. Davis (D-Ill.) who ãwore white gloves and carried a pillow holding
an
ornate crown that was placed on Moonâs head.ä The ãTrue Fatherä was wearing
a
floor-length, scarlet-and-gold velvet robe for the occasion. If you donât
believe it,

During his speech Moon proclaimed: ãThe time has come for you as well to
open
your hearts and receive the secrets that Heaven is disclosing in this age
through
me. In one sense, I am a human being living with a physical body like each
of you.
But in the context of Heaven's providence, I am God's ambassador, sent to
earth
with His full authority. I am sent to accomplish His command to save the
world's six
billion people, restoring them to Heaven with the original goodness in which
they
were created.ä
Deceased saints, spiritual leaders, kings and presidents, even a transformed
Hitler
and Stalin, he said, ãhave declared to all Heaven and Earth that Reverend
Sun
Myung Moon is none other than humanityâs Savior, Messiah, Returning Lord and
True Parent. This resolution has been announced on every corner of the
globe.ä
Not in America. In spite of the magnitude of the eventâs lunacy, it was
largely kept
under wraps.
Since last week, when the story eventually leaked into the mainstream media,
most
of the congressmen involved have busily distanced themselves from Moon.
Roscoe
G. Bartlett, a Maryland Republican, said he didnât expect to attend what
Moonâs
church calls the crowning of ãthe King and Queen of the Second and Third
Israelä.
Sen. Mark Dayton (D-Minn.) told the Washington Post that he had come solely
for
the peace awards, not knowing the reverend would even be there.
An invitation mailed out on March 6, however, clearly names as main sponsor
the
ãInterreligious and International Federation for World Peace (IIFWP),
founded by
Rev. Dr. and Mrs. Sun Myung Moon, who will also be recognized that evening
for
their lifelong work to promote interfaith cooperation and reconciliation.ä
Other Moon
affiliates like the Washington Times Foundation are listed as co-sponsors.
It is very likely that the wacky coronation ceremony caught most of the
congressmen by surprise. But there are some politicians who passionately
support
Moonâs dubious cause, for example Charles B. Rangel (D-N.Y.) who officially
recognized Mr. and Mrs. Moon as "True Parents" and "King of Peace." (Click
here to
read the original document.)
Sun Myung Moon, who is richer than billionaire George Soros, owns the
Washington Times and the United Press International Foundation. He controls
and/or is associated with at least 50 committees and non-profit
organizations around
the United States. He has been hobnobbing with key players from both
political
parties and is a long-time supporter of the Bush family.
The most striking example of Moonâs influence is related by Rick Ross, a
Phoenix-
based cult expert and consultant.
Parentsâ Day (the 4th Sunday in July), he claims, does in fact
celebrate÷unbeknownst to most Americans÷Rev. Moon and his wife, the self-
proclaimed ãTrue Parents of mankindä.
In the summer of 1993, reports Ross, Hak Ja Moon laid the groundwork for the
new
holiday with the cross-country ãTrue Parentsâ Tour Americaä that ended in
Washington DC. On July 27, Sen. Trent Lott (R.-Miss.) urged his fellow
Senators to
support a ãTrue Parentsâ Dayä, to be celebrated the next day by the Womenâs
Federation for World Peace, one of Moonâs affiliate groups. Around the same
time
one year later, Rep. Dan Burton (R.-Ind.) and Rep. Floyd Flake (D.-N.Y.)
asked the
Senate for approval of House Resolution 236 that recognized July 28, 1994 as
Parentsâ Day. Since they skipped the odd word ãTrueä and didnât mention the
Moons, says Ross, the House passed the harmless-looking resolution on a
voice
vote. It was signed into law by President Clinton in October 1994.
Moonâs latest and most ambitious project is the reformation of the United
Nations to
connect religions instead of countries. The UN, says Moon, should transcend
the
narrow national interests of members states and form "a religious assembly,
or
council of religious representatives within" its structure.
The reverendâs cronies, Rep. Danny Davis and Rep. Kurt Weldon (R.-Pa.) have
openly promoted the reverendâs peculiar ideas on the floor of the House. To
read
the transcript of Davisâ speech, go to http://thomas.loc.gov and do a text
search on
congressional records, keywords ãcommitment to world peace, June 19, 2003ä.
Strange bedfellows indeed.
