REALAUDIO

After pre­sent­ing more dis­cus­sion about the death of inves­tiga­tive jour­nal­ist Gary Webb, this inter­view fur­ther doc­u­ments the bizarre, trea­so­nous and some­times ille­gal prac­tices of the Uni­fi­ca­tion Church of Rev­erend Sun Myung Moon. A major power bro­ker within the Repub­li­can Right, the Moon orga­ni­za­tion is the very antithe­sis of the “Fam­ily Val­ues” to which the GOP gives lip ser­vice. In addi­tion to Moon’s “purifi­ca­tion rit­u­als”, in which he has sex­ual inter­course with var­i­ous con­gre­gants in order to “purify their wombs of the influ­ence of Satan,” the orga­ni­za­tion has sanc­tioned hor­ri­ble abuse of Moon in-laws by some of the True Chil­dren, as his off­spring are called. Much of the broad­cast cen­ters on Moon’s enor­mous finan­cial appa­ra­tus. One of the endur­ing mys­ter­ies about the Moon orga­ni­za­tion con­cerns the source of its vast reser­voirs of money. Not only does the group have seem­ingly unlim­ited sources of fund­ing, but much of the organization’s deal­ings are con­ducted in huge cash trans­ac­tions.. The pro­gram high­lights the money-laundering mech­a­nisms of the Uni­fi­ca­tion Church, includ­ing the use of The Wash­ing­ton Times to laun­der large sums of money.

Pro­gram High­lights Include: The late ‘70’s inves­ti­ga­tion of the Moon orga­ni­za­tion that became known as Kore­a­gate; the destruc­tion of the polit­i­cal career of Don­ald Fraser—the Con­gress­man who led the Kore­a­gate inves­ti­ga­tion; the law­suit brought by Moon’s daughter-in-law against his son; the man­ner in which that law­suit was quashed; Moon’s fun­da­men­tally anti-American views (Moon views the sub­ju­ga­tion of the Amer­i­can gov­ern­ment and its peo­ple as his fun­da­men­tal goal); Moon’s state­ment that the United States is so Satanic that “even ham­burg­ers should be con­sid­ered Satanic, because they come from America.”

1. The pro­gram begins with more dis­cus­sion of the death of the late Gary Webb. After review­ing some of the infor­ma­tion pre­sented in FTR#490 about this sub­ject, we men­tioned the fact that Webb died of two gun­shot wounds to the head, which led some to con­clude that Webb was actu­ally mur­dered. Although there has been a great deal of Inter­net chat­ter to this effect, Webb’s fam­ily and close friends do not doubt the sui­cide ver­dict. “For the record”, so to speak, Mr. Emory is inde­ter­mi­nate on this aspect of Webb’s death—he just doesn’t know whether it was a sui­cide or not. The item that fol­lows is another of the sto­ries on Robert Parry’s web­site that cov­ers Gary Webb’s life and work. Lis­ten­ers can hear Mr. Emory’s read­ing of Gary Webb’s orig­i­nal “Dark Alliance” series from The San Jose Mer­cury News in FTR#01.

Hung Out to Dry
How Webb’s Series Died
By Georg Hodel

[Editor’s Note: We pub­lished the fol­low­ing story in 1997 when senior edi­tors at the San Jose Mer­cury News were pulling the plug on Gary Webb’s inves­ti­ga­tion into the Reagan-Bush administration’s contra-cocaine scan­dal. Our arti­cle was writ­ten by Georg Hodel, a jour­nal­ist work­ing with Webb at the Mer­cury News. We are repub­lish­ing Hodel’s story now to help read­ers bet­ter under­stand how Webb’s jour­nal­is­tic career was shat­tered, begin­ning his decline toward sui­cide last week. –Robert Parry, Edi­tor, Decem­ber 16, 2004]

The “Dark Alliance” contra-crack series, which I co-reported with Gary Webb, has died with less a bang or a whim­per than a gloat from the main­stream press.

“The San Jose Mer­cury News has appar­ently had enough of reporter Gary Webb and his efforts to prove that the CIA was involved in the sale of crack cocaine,” announced Wash­ing­ton Post media critic Howard Kurtz, who has »Con­tinue orig­i­nal article»

3. The remain­der of the pro­gram deals with the pro­found influ­ence of the Uni­fi­ca­tion Church in the Repub­li­can power struc­ture. After review­ing some of the sub­jects touched upon in FTR#490, Robert high­lighted the role of Japan­ese war crim­i­nals Ryoichi Sasakawa and Yoshio Kodama in the Moon orga­ni­za­tion. (For more about this sub­ject, see—among other pro­grams—RFA#’s 7, 11—avail­able from Spitfire—as well as FTR#’s 84, 291, 446, 451.) Next, the broad­cast sets forth the bizarre sex­ual rit­u­als that Moon—endeared to the Chris­t­ian fun­da­men­tal­ist right and the “Fam­ily Val­ues” crowd—has long incor­po­rated in his orga­ni­za­tion. “Church offi­cials repeat­edly have denied the reports of Moon’s sex­ual rit­u­als. But the charges received new atten­tion in 1993 with the Japan­ese pub­li­ca­tion of The Tragedy of the Six Marys—a book by the early Moon sup­pos­edly car­ried to South Korea. Accord­ing to Pak’s book, Moon taught that Jesus was intended to save mankind by hav­ing sex with six already-married women who would then have sex with other men who would pass on the purifi­ca­tion to other women until, even­tu­ally, all mankind would have pure blood.”
(Secrecy and Priv­i­lege: The Rise of the Bush Dynasty from Water­gate to Iraq; by Robert Parry; p. 78.)

4. “Pak con­tended that Moon took on this per­sonal duty as the sec­ond Mes­siah and began hav­ing sex with the ‘six Marys’ into a kind of rotat­ing sex club. Pak wrote that Moon’s first wife divorced him after catch­ing him in a sex rit­ual. In all, Pak esti­mated that there were at least 60 ‘Marys,’ many of whom ended up des­ti­tute after Moon dis­carded them.” (Idem.)

5. “Accord­ing to the tes­ti­mony of one ‘Mary,’ named Yu Shin Hee, she met Moon in the early 1950’s and became a fol­lower along with her hus­band. Devoted to the church, her hus­band aban­doned her and her five chil­dren, whom she then put into an orphan­age. She, in turn, agreed to become one of just one ‘blood exchange,’ a phrase refer­ring to sex­ual inter­course. Still, she was required to have sex with other men. Seven years later, a bro­ken woman with no money, she tried to return to her chil­dren, but they also rejected her.” (Idem.)

6. “When Moon impreg­nated another one of the women, Moon sent her to Japan, where she gave birth to a baby boy, accord­ing to Pak’s account. Moon later admit­ted father­ing the child, who died in a train crash at the age of 13. But Pak wrote than Moon refused to admit respon­si­bil­ity for other ille­git­i­mate chil­dren born to the women. ‘By for­ward­ing this teach­ing, he vio­lated moth­ers, their daugh­ters, their sis­ters,’ Pak wrote. (After The Tragedy of the Six Marys was pub­lished, the Uni­fi­ca­tion Church denounced the alle­ga­tions as spu­ri­ous. Under intense pres­sure, the aging Pak Chung Hwa agreed to recant. How­ever, his book’s accounts tracked closely with U.S. intel­li­gence reports of the same period and inter­views with for­mer church lead­ers.) (Idem.)

7. “Moon’s his­tory of sex­ual liaisons out of wed­lock also was cor­rob­o­rated by Nan­sook Hong, one of Moon’s daughters-in-law who broke with the so-called True Fam­ily in 1995 over abuse she suf­fered at the hands of Moon’

s eldest son, Hyo Jin Moon, dur­ing their 14-year mar­riage. Nan­sook Hong reported in her 1998 book, In the Shadow of the Moons, that fam­ily mem­bers, includ­ing Moon him­self, acknowl­edged that he had ‘prov­i­den­tial’ sex with women in his role as the Mes­siah. Nan­sook Hong said she learned about Moon’s sex­ual affairs when her hus­band, Hyo Jin, began jus­ti­fy­ing his affairs As man­dated by God, as his father claimed his affairs were.” (Ibid.; pp. 78–79.)

8. “ ‘I went directly to Mrs. Moon with Hyo Jin’s claims,’ Nan­sook Hong wrote. ‘She was both furi­ous and tear­ful. She had hoped that such pain would end with her, that it would not be passed on to the next gen­er­a­tion, she told me. No one knows the pain of a stray­ing hus­band like True Mother, she assured me. I was stunned. We had all heard rumors for years about Sun Myung Moon’s affairs and the chil­dren he sired out of wed­lock, but here was True Mother, con­firm­ing the truth of these sto­ries. I told her that Hyo Jin said his sleep­ing around was ‘prov­i­den­tial’ and inspired by God, just as Father’s affairs were. ‘No, Father is the Mes­siah, not Hyo Jin. What Father did was in God’s plan.’ Later, in a dis­cus­sion about the extra­mar­i­tal sex, Moon him­self told Nan­sook Hong that ‘what hap­pened in his past was ‘prov­i­den­tial’ she wrote.” (Ibid.; p. 79.)

9. “As for the sex­ual purifi­ca­tion rit­u­als, Nan­sook Hong said the rumors had fol­lowed the church for decades, despite the offi­cial denials. ‘In the early days of the Uni­fi­ca­tion Church, mem­bers met in a small house with two rooms,’ Nan­sook Hong wrote. ‘It was known as the House of the Three Doors. It was rumored that at the first door one was made to take off one’s jacket, at the sec­ond door one’s outer cloth­ing, and at the third one’s under­gar­ments in prepa­ra­tion for sex.’ As for Chung Hwa Pak’s Tragedy of the Six Marys, Nan­sook Hong said Moon suc­ceeded in per­suad­ing his old asso­ciate to rejoin the church and then got him to dis­avow the mem­oirs, ‘I’ve always won­dered what the price was of that retrac­tion,’ Nan­sook Hong wrote.” (Idem.)

10. Moon’s for­mer daughter-in-law, Nan­sook Hong, was hor­ri­bly abused by Moon’s son. Her story reveals not only the utter deprav­ity of life within the inner sanc­tum of the Moon orga­ni­za­tion, but also sheds light on the vast sums of money that per­vade the Moon orga­ni­za­tion. The source of those vast sums of money is one of the great mys­ter­ies sur­round­ing the out­fit. “ ‘From very early in our mar­riage, Hyo Jin has abused drugs and alco­hol and is an addict as a result,’ Nan­sook wrote in the affi­davit. ‘He has a rit­ual of secret­ing him­self in the mas­ter bed­room, some­times for hours, some­times for days, drink­ing alco­hol, using cocaine and watch­ing porno­graphic films. . . . When he emerges he is more angry and more volatile.’ Nan­sook described a pat­tern of abuse which included Hyo Jin beat­ing her in 1994 when she dis­rupted one of his cocaine par­ties. ‘He punched me in the nose and blood came rush­ing out,’ Nan­sook wrote. ‘He then smeared my blood on his hand, licked his hand and said, ‘It tastes good. This is fun.’’ At the time, she was seven months preg­nant.” (Ibid.; p. 278.)

11. “On another occa­sion, Nan­sook said he forced her to stand naked in front of him for hours because ‘I needed to be humil­i­ated.’ Mean­while, Nan­sook com­plained that her in-laws did lit­tle to con­front Hyo Jin. ‘Although Hyo Jin’s fam­ily knew of his addic­tions and his abuse of me and the chil­dren, I received very lit­tle emo­tional or phys­i­cal sup­port from them,’ Nan­sook wrote. ‘I was con­stantly at the mercy of Hyo Jin’s erratic and cruel behav­ior.’” (Idem.)

12. “To finance his per­sonal and busi­ness activ­i­ties, Hyo Jin received hun­dreds of thou­sands of dol­lars in unac­counted cash, Nan­sook said. ‘On one occa­sion, I saw Hyo Jin bring home a box about 24 inches wide, 12 inches tall and six inches deep,’ she wrote in her affi­davit. ‘ He stated that he had received it from his father. He opened it. . . . It was filled with $100 bills stacked in bunches of $10,000 each for a total of $1 mil­lion in cash! He took this money and gave $600,000 to the Man­hat­tan Cen­ter, a church record­ing stu­dio that he osten­si­bly runs. He kept the remain­ing $400,000 for him­self. . . . Within six months he had spent it all on him­self, buy­ing cocaine and alco­hol, enter­tain­ing his friends every night and giv­ing expen­sive gifts to other women.’” (Idem.)

13. “Another time, a Fil­ipino church mem­ber gave Hyo Jin $270,000 in cash, accord­ing to Nan­sook. She added that Hyo Jin also ordered the Man­hat­tan Cen­ter to cover his credit-card bills, which often exceeded $5,000 a month and that he instructed employ­ees to buy drugs for him with the company’s money.” (Idem.)

14. “After flee­ing with the chil­dren, Nan­sook said she feared that Hyo Jin would ‘hunt me down and kill me.’ To pro­tect her, Asso­ciate Jus­tice Edward M. Gins­burg barred Hyo Jin from approach­ing Nan­sook and the chil­dren. Tak­ing into account Hyo Jin’s jet-set lifestyle, Gins­burg also ordered Hyo Jin to pay $8,500 a month in sup­port pay­ments and $65,000 for Nansook’s legal fees. Gins­burg ruled that Hyo Jin ‘had access to cash in any amount requested on demand’ from ‘com­min­gled’ church and per­sonal money. Gins­burg noted, too, that Hyo Jin received $84,000 a year from a fam­ily trust and earned a reg­u­lar salary from the Man­hat­tan Cen­ter.” (Ibid.; pp. 278–279.)

15. “On July 17, 1996, when Hyo Jin failed to pay Nansook’s legal fees, he was held in con­tempt of court and jailed in Mass­a­chu­setts. To free Hyo Jin, the Uni­fi­ca­tion Church’s vaunted legal team sprang into action. The lawyers devel­oped a strat­egy that por­trayed Hyo Jin as a man of no means. They filed a bank­ruptcy peti­tion on his behalf in fed­eral court in Westch­ester County, New York. As part of those fil­ings, Hyo Jin’s lawyers sub­mit­ted evi­dence that on August 5, 1996, three weeks after his jail­ing, Hyo Jin was sev­ered from the Swiss-based True Fam­ily Trust. The lawyers also sub­mit­ted a doc­u­ment show­ing that as of August 9, Hyo Jin had lost his $60,000-a-year job at Man­hat­tan Cen­ter Stu­dios ‘due to cer­tain med­ical prob­lems.’” (Ibid.; p. 279.)

16. “Nansook’s lawyers denounced the bank­ruptcy maneu­ver as a devi­ous scheme to spare Hyo Jin from his finan­cial oblig­a­tions. To cor­rob­o­rate Nansook’s state­ments about Hyo Jin’s access to nearly unlim­ited money, her lawyers secured tes­ti­mony from a for­mer Man­hat­tan Cen­ter offi­cial and Uni­fi­ca­tion Church mem­ber, Made­lene Pre­to­ri­ous. At a court hear­ing, Moon returned from a trip to Korea ‘with $600,000 in cash which he had received from his father. . . Myself along with three or four other mem­bers that worked at Man­hat­tan Cen­ter saw the cash in bags, shop­ping bags.’” (Idem.)

17. “On another occa­sion, Hyo Jin’s par­ents gave him $20,000 to buy a boat, Pre­to­ri­ous recalled. There was a time, too, when Hyo Jin dipped into Man­hat­tan Cen­ter funds to give $30,000 in cash to one of his sis­ters. The cen­ter also gave Hyo Jin cash sev­eral times a week to cover per­sonal expenses, rang­ing from bar tabs to a Jaguar auto­mo­bile, Pre­to­ri­ous said.” (Idem.)

18. “But Hyo Jin Moon won the legal round any­way. A judge ruled that the fed­eral bank­ruptcy claim, no mat­ter how dubi­ous, over­rode the Mass­a­chu­setts con­tempt find­ing. Hyo Jin was released from jail. After that, the Moon fam­ily stepped up nego­ti­a­tions with Nan­sook to pre­vent more embar­rass­ing dis­clo­sures.” (Idem.)

19. “As those legal bat­tles were play­ing out, I met with Pre­to­ri­ous at a sub­ur­ban Boston restau­rant. A law school grad­u­ate from South Africa, the 34-year-old full-faced brunette said she was recruited by the Uni­fi­ca­tion Church through the stu­dent front group CARP in San Fran­cisco in 1986–1987.” (Idem.)

20. Made­lene Pre­to­ri­ous dis­cussed some of the mech­a­nisms by which the Moon orga­ni­za­tion was able to laun­der vast sums of money. Note that

pan style=“font-style: italic;”>The Wash­ing­ton Times was one of the prin­ci­pal vehi­cles in this com­plex scheme. “In 1992, Pre­to­ri­ous went to work at the Man­hat­tan Cen­ter and grew con­cerned about the way cash, brought to the United States by Asian mem­bers, would cir­cu­late through the Moon busi­ness empire as a way to laun­der it. The money would then go to sup­port the Moon family’s lav­ish life style or be diverted to other church projects. At the cen­ter of the finan­cial oper­a­tion, Pre­to­ri­ous said, was One-Up Cor­po­ra­tion, a Delaware-registered hold­ing com­pany that owned Man­hat­tan Cen­ter and other Moon enter­prises includ­ing New World Com­mu­ni­ca­tions, the par­ent com­pany of The Wash­ing­ton Times.” (Ibid.; pp. 279–280.)

21. “ ‘Once that cash is at the Man­hat­tan Cen­ter, it has to be accounted for,’ Pre­to­ri­ous said. ‘The way that’s done is to laun­der the cash. Man­hat­tan Cen­ter gives cash to a busi­ness called Happy World which owns restau­rants. . . . .Happy World needs to pay ille­gal aliens . . . .Happy World pays some back to the Man­hat­tan Cen­ter for ‘ser­vices ren­dered.’ The rest goes to One-Up and then comes back to Man­hat­tan Cen­ter for ‘ser­vices ren­dered.’ . . .” (Ibid.; 280.)

22. Moon’s finan­cial appa­ra­tus involved the ille­gal impor­ta­tion of vast sums of cash. “ . . . In Nan­sook Moon’s 1998 mem­oirs, In the Shadow of the Moons, Moon’s ex-daughter-in-law—writing under her maiden name Nan­sook Hong—alleged that Moon’s orga­ni­za­tion had engaged in a long-running con­spir­acy to smug­gle cash into the Unites States and to deceive U.S. Cus­toms agents.” (Ibid.; p. 281.)

23. “ ‘The Uni­fi­ca­tion Church was a cash oper­a­tion,’ Nan­sook Hong wrote. ‘I watched Japan­ese church lead­ers arrive at reg­u­lar inter­vals at East Gar­den [the Moon com­pound north of New York City] with paper bags full of money, which the Rev­erend Moon would either pocket or dis­trib­ute to the heads of var­i­ous church-owned busi­ness enter­prises at his break­fast table.” (Idem.)

24. “ ‘The Japan­ese had no trou­ble bring­ing the cash into the United States; they would tell Cus­toms agents that they were in Amer­ica to gam­ble at Atlantic City. In addi­tion, many busi­nesses run by the church were cash oper­a­tions, includ­ing sev­eral Japan­ese restau­rants in New York City. I saw deliv­er­ies of cash from church head­quar­ters that went directly into the wall safe in Mrs. Moon’s closet.’” (Ibid.; pp. 281–282.)

25. “Mrs. Moon pressed her daughter-in-law into one cash-smuggling inci­dent after a trip to Japan in 1992, Nan­sook Hong wrote. Mrs. Moon had received ‘stacks of money’ and divvied it up among her entourage for the return trip through Seat­tle, Nan­sook Hong wrote. ‘I was given $20,000 in two packs of crisp new bills,’ she recalled. ‘I had them beneath the tray in my makeup case. . . . I knew that smug­gling was ille­gal, but I believed the fol­low­ers of Sun Myung Moon answered to higher laws.’” (Ibid.; p. 282.)

26. “U. S. cur­rency laws require that cash amounts above $10,000 be declared at Cus­toms when the money enters or leaves the coun­try. It is also ille­gal to con­spire with couri­ers to bring in lesser amounts when the total exceeds the $10,000 fig­ure, a process called ‘smurf­ing.’ In the Shadow of the Moons raised anew the ques­tion of whether Moon’s money laundering—from mys­te­ri­ous sources in both Asia and South America—has made him a con­duit for illicit for­eign money influ­enc­ing the U.S. gov­ern­ment and Amer­i­can pol­i­tics. . . .” (Idem.)

27. Even­tu­ally, the Moon organization’s “funny money” pre­cip­i­tated an inves­ti­ga­tion by the staff of Con­gress­man Don­ald Fraser—the probe that became known as “Kore­a­gate”. Note that the spe­cial pros­e­cu­tor cho­sen to lead this inves­ti­ga­tion was Leon Jaworski, who was on the board of direc­tors of the MD Ander­son Fund (a CIA domes­tic fund­ing con­duit). Jaworski had also been a War­ren Com­mis­sion coun­sel (present at the inter­ro­ga­tion of Jack Ruby, dis­cussed in FTR#108), in addi­tion to his role as Water­gate Spe­cial Pros­e­cu­tor. (For more about Jaworski, see—among other programs—G3, avail­able from Spit­fire, and Mis­cel­la­neous Archive Show M31, also avail­able from Spit­fire.) “But the South Korean scheme back­fired in the late 1970’s, with the explo­sion of the ‘Kore­a­gate’ scan­dal. Rep­re­sen­ta­tive Don­ald Fraser, a Demo­c­rat from Min­nesota, led a con­gres­sional probe which tracked Tong­sun Park’s influence-buying cam­paign and exposed the KCIA links to the Uni­fi­ca­tion Church. The ‘Kore­a­gate’ inves­ti­ga­tion revealed a sophis­ti­cated intel­li­gence project run out of Seoul, using the urbane Park and the mys­ti­cal Moon to cul­ti­vate U.S. politi­cians as influ­en­tial friends of South Korea—and to under­mine politi­cians who were viewed as ene­mies.” (Ibid.; p. 84.)

28. “The ‘Kore­a­gate’ inves­ti­ga­tion traced the church’s chief sources of money to bank accounts in Japan, but could fol­low the cash no fur­ther. In the years since, the sources of Moon’s money have remained cloaked in secrecy.” (Idem.)

29. “When I inquired about the vast for­tune that the Uni­fi­ca­tion Church has poured into its Amer­i­can oper­a­tions, the church’s chief spokesman refused to divulge dol­lar amounts for any of Moon’s activ­i­ties. ‘Each year the church retains an inde­pen­dent account­ing firm to do a national audit and pro­duce an annual finan­cial state­ment,’ wrote the church’s legal rep­re­sen­ta­tive Peter D. Ross. ‘While this state­ment is used in rou­tine finan­cial trans­ac­tions by the church, [it] is not my pol­icy to make it oth­er­wise avail­able.’ Ross also refused to pass on inter­view requests to Moon and other church lead­ers.” (Idem.)

30. Nonethe­less, the inves­ti­ga­tion of Moon was, ulti­mately, unsuc­cess­ful and Con­gress­man Fraser’s polit­i­cal career was destroyed. As dis­cussed in RFA#7—avail­able from Spitfire—Fraser’s aide Robert Boettcher (author of Gifts of Deceit about the Moon orga­ni­za­tion) sub­se­quently jumped, fell or was pushed off a roof in New York City. “In 1978, Fraser got a taste of the neg­a­tive side of Moon’s pro­pa­ganda clout as the South Korean reli­gious leader’s new U.S. con­ser­v­a­tive allies mounted a strong defense against the ‘Kore­a­gate’ alle­ga­tions. In pro-Moon pub­li­ca­tions, Fraser and his staff were pil­lo­ried as left­ists. Anti-Moon wit­nesses were assailed as unsta­ble liars. Minor book­keep­ing prob­lems inside the inves­ti­ga­tion, such as Fraser’s salary advances to some staff mem­bers, were seized upon to jus­tify demands for an ethics probe of the con­gress­man. . . . Moon weath­ered the Kore­a­gate polit­i­cal storm. Fac­ing ques­tions about his patri­o­tism, Fraser lost a Sen­ate bid in 1978 and left Con­gress.” (Ibid.; pp. 84–85.)

31. Among the more remark­able aspects of Moon’s ascen­sion in the Repub­li­can hier­ar­chy is the fact that he is stri­dently anti-American. “ . . . Yet, Moon also made clear that his longer-range goal was destroy­ing the U.S. Con­sti­tu­tion and America’s demo­c­ra­tic form of gov­ern­ment. ‘His­tory will make the posi­tion of Rev­erend Moon clear, and his ene­mies, the Amer­i­can pop­u­la­tion and Gov­ern­ment will bow down to him,’ Moon said, speak­ing of him­self in the third per­son. ‘That is Father’s tac­tic, the nat­ural sub­ju­ga­tion of the Amer­i­can gov­ern­ment and pop­u­la­tion.’” (Ibid.; p. 239.)

32. More about Moon’s anti-Americanism: “ ‘Rev­erend Moon looked at me straight in the eye and said, ‘Amer­ica is Satanic. Amer­ica is so satanic that even ham­burg­ers should be con­sid­ered evil, because they come from Amer­ica’, Stacey said.” (Ibid.; p.
270.)
