   Bushes Hail Rev. Moon   
   by Robert Parry   
      
   Since journalist John Solomon decamped from the Washington Post to become   
   executive editor of the right-wing Washington Times in 2008, the newspaper   
   has tried to shake its image as a political front for its founder,   
   right-wing South Korean theocrat Sun Myung Moon.   
   The 27-year-old newspaper even wrested a "correction" from the New York   
   Times for describing it as "decidedly opposed to Mr. Obama," in the context   
   of an NYT article about Washington Times' editorials that compared Barack   
   Obama's health care plans to Nazi euthanasia policies. The Washington Times   
   insisted that its news columns were objective and independent from the   
   editorial opinions.   
      
   So what is one to make of the "independent" Washington Times leading its   
   "Nation" news section Friday with a puff piece about Rev. Moon's   
   "much-anticipated autobiography that recounts the joys and challenges, the   
   teachable moments and the monumental experiences of his life - much of it   
   spent as a spiritual leader"?   
      
   There's no mention of Moon's financial and political support for right-wing   
   death squads that terrorized Central America in the 1980s, nor his   
   collaboration with right-wing regimes implicated in the drug trade in Asia   
   and Latin America, nor his long record of illegal money-laundering.   
      
   Nor are there any interesting tidbits about his bizarre "religious" views,   
   such as his early practice of "blessing the wombs" of female followers by   
   having intercourse with them in rituals to purify the human race. Nor do we   
   learn about Moon as the self-proclaimed new Messiah sent by God to correct   
   the errors of Jesus, who supposedly didn't do his part by having sex with   
   women.   
      
   Nor is it mentioned that Moon collaborated with South Korea's intelligence   
   agency in the "Korea-gate" plot of the 1970s to influence U.S. foreign   
   policy, nor that he delivered anti-American diatribes denouncing the United   
   States as "Satan's harvest" and likening American women to "prostitutes."   
      
   Even as Moon lined the pockets of powerful conservative U.S. politicians,   
   including members of the Bush Family, Moon vowed to sweep aside American   
   democracy and individualism in favor of a one-world state under his   
   religious domination. Once this plan to "swallow entire America" is   
   complete, Moon told his followers in one sermon, there will be "some   
   individuals who complain inside your stomach. However, they will be   
   digested."   
      
   Yet, in the Washington Times' "news" article, Moon's anti-Americanism is   
   sanitized, with the readers told instead that Moon's book expresses "his   
   untrammeled admiration of America."   
      
   "Let us both keep working for a more peaceful world," wrote the senior   
   George Bush, who has been the recipient of large speaking fees from Moon,   
   estimated in the millions of dollars   
      
   "Rev. Moon is presenting a very simple concept. We are all children of God,"   
   added Neil Bush, who is a parasite.

   Drink Up.   
   Jim Jones may have died, but his madness lives on in the likes of Moon and   
   other religious nut clones. In reality, Jones was the winner for now America   
   is being force fed Kool Aid by the right.
