Neil Bush Meets the Messiah
By John Gorenfeld, AlterNet. Posted December 5, 2005.

Why is the President's younger brother, Neil, touring with the leader of the Moonies?

"Those who stray from the heavenly way," the owner of the flagship Republican newspaper the Washington Times admonished an audience in Taipei on Friday, "will be punished."

This "heavenly way," the Rev. Sun Myung Moon explained, demands a 51-mile underwater highway spanning Alaska and Russia. Sitting in the front row: Neil Bush, the brother of the president of the United States.

Rev. Sun Myung Moon, the South Korean giant of the religious right who owns the Washington Times, is on a 100-city speaking tour to promote his $200 billion "Peace King Tunnel" dream. As he describes it, the tunnel would be both a monument to his magnificence, and a totem to his prophecy of a unified Planet Earth. In this vision, the United Nations would be reinvented as an instrument of God's plan, and democracy and sexual freedom would crumble in the face of this faith-based glory.

The name Peace King Tunnel would allude to the title of authority to which Moon, 86, lays claim, and to which U.S. congressmen paid respect on Capitol Hill in last year's controversial "Crown of Peace" coronation ritual.

1. I'm wondering how many fundies know Moon's influence
I remember last year when he declared himself the Messiah, and how many conmen were around him at the time. Don't recall it got all that much press-wonder why?

13. All Hail the Moon
Ha ha ha. The Dirksen Senate Building can only be used after a senator had signed permission. I think it was Repuke Sen. John Warner, Va who was responsible, although he claimed he was mislead. Danny Davis from my Illinois, held the crown for Moon.

2. Bush's base seems to have a blindspot where Moon is concerned
Edited on Mon Dec-05-05 12:01 PM by MrMonk
I've wondered how many "fundamentalist" leaders, besides Falwell, have been funded by Moon's cash.

6. Blind spot? They've been tucked up in bed with him for years
Daddy Bush has been running interference for the old bastard for decades, persuading governments to give him newspapers and the like. I'm sure Daddy Bush thought he was using Moon for antisocialism. I know Moon was using Daddy Bush for all he could get.

If this is ever investigated, the whole Bush family will end up in prison for international racketeering.

The only good part is that Moon is old and can't last much longer. I doubt anyone in his organization has the charisma to succeed him.

8. The BIG one - Tim LaHaye is a longtime Moon ally - The LEFT BEHIND
series was meant as an exercise to use theology for political end.

Back in the late 70s and early 80s LaHaye would boast of his skills at mind control, which RevMoon is most known for.

Shame the fundies can't see the forest for the trees.

5. Tell us one thing this lunatic has done for peace as most people
Edited on Mon Dec-05-05 12:05 PM by higher class
would conceive peace.

It appears that he left his millions of acres in Paraguay leaderless to travel for a piece of the oceans?

From a land locked country in South America to get someone to pay for an underwater tunnel in North America?

Does he not like to fly? Does he want to go by boat and car to commute between Korea and Paraguay via Washington and Crawford?

Tell us why we should admire about this man.

15. South Korean? Hmm nope sorry but he is NK.

I guess South Korean makes him sound more 'pro-USA' to the Freeptards.

18. Falwell, LaHaye, et al, are Moon's lackeys and have been for many years.
Moon has been funding FUNDAMENTALISM since the early 70s in ALL religions, even Islam via Farrakhan. He wants schisms formed to further the political agenda of the fascists.
