Bush and His Crazy Pastor
Edited on Thu May-08-08 06:27 PM by kpete
Not a single major media outlet covers this story about an American president in a decades-long relationship with a man who has spoken openly of taking over the United States and establishing a one-world theocracy under his rule. Absolutely mind-boggling.


George HW Bush, was paid by the world's most prominent fascist cult leader to give yet another speech on his behalf, with Moon on the same stage. And it happened right in Washington DC, where the media has no excuse for not knowing about it. Zero mention in the media. And once again, the ex-president gives specific praise to this lunatic:

"However, too many citizens these days are becoming disengaged at a time when we need more involvement, more debate, and more foreign exchanges," he said. "That's why the work of the Universal Peace Federation and The Washington Times is so important, and I thank Rev. Moon and salute all of you for coming here to address these urgent issues."


There are many more details at Talk2Action, http://www.talk2action.org/story/2008/5/6/6440/76200 including these snippets from Rev. Moon's address to the group:



In the 70s Moon was saying that democracy was evil, Americans were lazy, the Koreans are the master race. In fact he believes that when he takes over the world, which is his espoused goal, there'll be a theocracy which will rule with himself and other leaders. All other religions will be abolished.

"We are entering into a new and hopeful time," said Rev. Moon in his remarks, "And all of us are being called - whether we know it or not - to bring our best efforts to bear on creating a new culture of peace, centered on the ideal of one family under God."


The phrase "One family under God" is the motto of the Universal Peace Federation, one of Moon's primary front groups, but it's not nearly as innocuous as it sounds. Remember that Moon is referred to as the True Father in that family and that he claims to be the Messiah sent to finish the mission that Jesus failed at.

3. Moon & Washtimes
The for profit media has absolutely zero interest in the strange religious goings on of some of our leaders, Moon specifically, but there are others.

When a freak show like this own a major newspaper you think it would raise eyebrows.

Not a peep on the strange origins of the right wing media spin machine, however.
