IOWC as Counterinsurgency

There’s good reason to believe that the One World Crusade of the early 70s Unification Church in America was an attempt to both gather intel on anti-war groups, to hijack anti-war demonstrations, as many of their tours were coordinated with anti-war demonstrations and their events often occurred at such demonstrations or nearby, and to recruit from their fold. The government was actively trying to de-radicalize the increasingly revolutionary students and youth of the US. Many of the centers at the time were in college towns and were attempting to be friendly with leftists and anti-war organizations in deceptive ways, including hiding their religious beliefs. Many of these organizations could see through the Moonies in short time. At the time, the US government had a lot of coordinated efforts to gather intelligence on these organizations, which follow very similar tactics to the IOWC. Understanding that the UC was paid by the FBI in the 80s to spy on and sabotage the activism of El Salvador solidarity activists, it seems very probable that this was the case.

Reader Advisory: This is a horrific story ��––>   LINK

“While traveling on IOWC I had a Japanese friend whose personality was like liquid light. She was the happiest, most loving person you could meet. I loved her so dearly. Being sleep deprived, as is the norm, she was fundraising at a light when she stepped off the curb to make her way to a customer. She was hit so hard she flew 50 feet and died instantly upon impact with the ground. No one on the team spoke of her after it happened.

I remember on MFT, one leader came and gave personal alarms to the sisters and told the MFT team leaders that sisters should be in pairs, especially after dark. Then he left and the team leaders confiscated the alarms. Isamu Saito said the alarms could be sold for money. The sisters were still sent out singly because “they could get more money that way”. We reminded Saito that his leader had given those directions, but he said “That’s God’s love but we need to make money.”

There were a good number of good-hearted, fervent, bright Japanese women raped and murdered and forgotten.”

England, probably in 1982. Robert Wiggins and a French member, Bruno Marze, were killed in a van accident. They had been fundraising for the day as part of a CARP team which had a Japanese leader.

There was another CARP member who was the main driver, but he didn’t like fundraising, which is why the Japanese team leader told Robert to drive into London instead, so the other guy could be kept fundraising.

Robert was an inexperienced driver. They crashed near Luton on their way back to the Lancaster Gate HQ in London. They may have been in a hurry to get back by a certain time. There were roadworks on the stretch where the accident happened.

The CARP members seemed to have a habit of driving too fast and Robert Wiggins was not an experienced driver, so it is more likely he lost control while driving through the roadworks, rather than falling asleep. It was a head on collision with a big truck. Robert’s chest was crushed by the steering wheel and Bruno was decapitated. Joanna De Souza was thrown out of the van and left badly handicapped.

From a resident of Lancaster Gate at the time: “Bruno used to laugh a lot, and he was good at doing mimes. His Austrian wife had just had a baby, a few weeks before. Straight after the accident, Bruno’s wife went back to Austria; we made a small collection for her in Lancaster Gate. The donations came from the members themselves. I don’t think the Church gave anything.”

In Australia,  in the early 1980s, there were members of a fundraising team that came from New Zealand that died when the driver fell asleep. Also around the same time, another two Australian members were seriously injured in a car accident on MFT in Australia. – John Reed

In France there was a fundraising van accident in about 1976 where one French member, Albert Reignez, lost a leg.

There are so many parts of the global Unification Church experience that we do not know. So many young members have gone missing in Mongolia, Thailand, and the Philippines throughout the years, as well as members from other parts of the world.

Ideen für das Euro-BBW

In den drei Tagen in Tallinn haben wir sehr viel gesehen und gehört - ein wahrer “information overload”. Wir sind recht erschöpft, aber viele der Dinge und Menschen, die wir sehen und treffen durften, waren sehr inspirierend für uns.

Im Folgenden möchten wir einige Ideen auflisten, die wir uns auch im Euro-BBW vorstellen könnten.

1. Mitarbeitergalerie im Flur

Mitarbeitergalerie des Astangu - Namen und Gesichter aus Datenschutzgründen verwischt

Im Flur des Erdgeschosses hängt im Astangu diese Mitarbeitergalerie. Nach Abteilungen aufgeteilt kann man sich hier orientieren, wer welche Aufgabe im Hause hat. Die Abbildung der Gesichter erleichtert das Erkennen der Kolleg*innen. Sehr übersichtlich und sehr hilfreich!

Viele Mitarbeitende des Euro-BBW haben sicherlich Sorge, ihr Portrait so offen zu zeigen. Die Galerie ist aber äußerst hilfreich bei der Orientierung!

2. Sitzgelegenheiten und Beschilderung

Überall im Astangu findet man solche Sitzgelegenheiten, die zum Gespräch oder Ausruhen einladen. Haben wir viel zu wenig!

Die Beschilderung ist auffälliger und besser zu lesen als bei uns.

3. Freiwillige aus dem Europäischen Freiwilligen-Corps

Eine junge Frau aus Porto ist derzeit als Freiwillige im Astangu beschäftigt. Sie kümmert sich vorwiegend um das Freizeitangebot. Eine tolle Lerngelegenheit für sie, und eine Bereicherung für das Astangu.

Die Website https://www.solidaritaetskorps.de/ bringt Einrichtungen und Freiwillige zusammen - sollten wir uns anschauen!

4. Motivierende Botschaften an den Wänden

Schon im Isle of Wight College sahen wir solche Sprüche an den Wänden, und auch die Deutsche Technologieschule in Pärnu hat sie. Die Übersetzung des obigen habe ich schon wieder vergessen, aber hier sind noch ein paar Beispiele aus dem IOWC.

Zitate von Schüler*innen an den Wänden des IOWC

5. Videos in den Ausbildungsräumen

In der Ausbildungsküche wurde vor dem Waffelbacken ein YouTube-Video gezeigt, das die Zubereitung visuell erklärte. Während des Backens konnte man sich Teile nochmals ansehen, und das Rezept wurde eingeblendet. Das fanden wir nützlich für die Teilnehmenden.

Schon im Isle of Wight College hatten wir beobachten können, dass man dort Videos der hauseigenen Lernplattform auf Tablets ansehen konnte. Hier wurden damals den angehenden Köch*innen Schneidetechniken per Video beigebracht. Wer lernen wollte, nahm sich einfach ein Tablet und startete das Video. So kann jede*r im eigenen Tempo Fähigkeiten verbessern.

6. Jobpics in der BVB

Möglicherweise geschieht ähnliches schon längst in der BVB - aber wir wollen nochmals das Jobpics-Projekt hervorheben, in dem per Fotoauswahl eine spontane Karriereentscheidung getroffen werden kann, auf die man aufbauen kann und die gleichzeitig viel über die Neigungen der Person aussagt. Siehe dazu den betreffenden Jobpics-Artikel hier im Blog!

Jobpics-Bildkarten

7. Videospiel zur Stärkung der Arbeitskompetenzen

Auch hier hatten wir es schon in einem anderen Artikel erwähnt: Die Job-Coaches des Astangu nehmen an einem EU-Projekt teil, in dessen Verlauf ein Videospiel namens Work@ble entwickelt wurde, das Stärken und Schwächen von Spielenden in Bezug auf die Aufnahme einer Arbeitstätigkeit  erkennt und sie gleichzeitig trainiert. Das Spiel soll nächstes Jahr verfügbar sein - vielleicht können wir es nutzen!

8. Career Day

Einmal jährlich veranstaltet das Astangu einen Career Day, an dem nicht nur Arbeitgeber*innen eingeladen und Firmen der Region vorgestellt werden. Es kommen auch Ehemalige und berichten über ihren Lebensweg. Ähnliches gab es wohl schon einmal im BBW, wenn ich mich recht entsinne - vielleicht kann man hier nochmal anknüpfen.

9. Digital Resilience

Im Astangu hat man durchaus Probleme mit Mobbing - dies aber mittlerweile verlegt in die digitale Welt in Form von Cyber-Bullying.

Unseres Erachtens kann man junge Menschen mit den Problemen, die die Digitalisierung ja auch mit sich bringt, nicht alleine lassen. Im Stab Q&E gibt es schon seit längerem eine Projektidee zum Thema “Digital Resilience”. Viele junge Menschen können zwar mit dem Smartphone geschickter umgehen als manche ältere Mitarbeitende, aber zu Medienkompetenz gehört viel mehr. Das Projekt sollte daher nicht (nur) Medienkompetenz à la “Wie nutze ich Word” vermitteln, sondern vielmehr gegen die vielen Gefahren im Web wappnen. Dazu gehört Aufklärung über das Erkennen von Fake News und Hoaxes, Schutz vor Identitätsdiebstahl und Schadsoftware sowie das Thema “Big Data” und entsprechende Verhaltensempfehlungen zur Datensparsamkeit.

Sollten wir angehen - vielleicht können wir hier mit dem Astangu zusammenarbeiten!

Cable news has announced: Joe Biden will be the 46th president of the United States.

For what did America vote?Cable news has announced: Joe Biden will be the 46th president of the United States. If that's the case, what ideas won? For what, precisely, did America vote? I'm speaking, to be clear, of policy. Among those who punched the ticket for Joe and Kamala, what was the ideological demand? To generalize is to err, and it would be foolish to paint Donkey Party supporters with a broad brush. I'm focusing solely on a subset. You're well aware of them — people who evidently exclusively get their news via a laser-focused, inaccurate narrative against Trump. Concerning that particular group of voters, if Biden's the new Commander-in-Chief, what ideas won? It seems to me the answer is none. No ideas. Who has time for ideas when Satan is at the door? For the sake of the planet, I believe many Blue voters waged war at the polls, not for something, but against. They were combatting a cartoon. For the last half decade, talking heads have crafted an animated evil in the White House by perpetually passing along a portrayal of what could never have walked the earth. We were presented with the notion that a Democrat celebrity fawned over for decades as a lovable eccentric billionaire and championed in rap songs had all the while — and without notice from anyone anywhere, including close liberals and minorities — been an angry white supremacist hatemonger sent from the bowels of hell to, suddenly and without warning at 70 years old, become the 21st century's Hitler. Even as his opponents were socialists, like the Nazis. What was crafted was a character drawn with a sharpie…

Dollar is puzzled There are still many details unclear in the US-China trade agreement  December has been so far a positive month for financial markets. Yes, the UK hasn’t yet left the EU, and the US-China trade war hasn’t yet finished, but the most important is that the risks are gradually easing. Conservatives’ victory in the UK general election has almost removed the possibility of a no-deal Brexit, and the phase one trade agreement between the US and China has somehow relieved investors’ stress. The US administration announced they won’t pursue a new round of tariffs on $160 billion of Chinese imports set...Read full author’s opinion and review in blog of #LiteForex http://amp.gs/iOwC

1984: On Two MFT that Died

In Memoriam Michiko Koide and Eric Mahnken

October 11, 1984 Susan Fegley Osmond

Pictured: Michiko Koide Eric Mahnken Church members Michiko Koide and Eric Mahnken were killed on October 11, 1984, in a car accident in Pensacola, Florida. They and five other brothers and sisters, all on the Mississippi church fundraising team, had just completed a 40-day campaign and were returning home when their vehicle had a flat tire. While Eric was fixing the tire, a speeding van swerved off the highway into our vehicle, killing him instantly. The van then ricocheted into the group of members who were standing by the roadside. Michiko died several hours later; one other member suffered a broken back, and another a broken leg. The driver of the out-of-control van was also killed.

Michiko Koide was born December 16, 1948 in Chibu-Ken, Japan. She joined the Unification Church there in 1972, and was blessed in 1975 with the 1800 couples. She is survived by her husband, Masaaki Koide, and two children: a boy, Michikuni, and a girl, Sachiyo. She is remembered for her exemplary dedication, prayerfulness, sacrifice, and service. Ministers and their families in Jackson, Mississippi, remember her for her unflagging community service. To the state center, where she was the eldest member, she brought the deep-hearted, self-giving tradition of our Japanese church "mothers."

Eric Alexander Mahnken was born January 4, 1960. He joined the church in 1974 at the age of 14. He was blessed to Mary Hutchison in the Madison Square Garden blessing of 2,000 couples in 1982. He is survived by his parents, and his sisters Carla and Paula, who also joined the church. He worked in Performing Arts before he joined IOWC in March 1983. He is, fondly remembered for his warm-heartedness and friendliness. Always outgoing and vibrant, Eric did not hesitate to volunteer for difficult tasks, and he performed them with constancy and enthusiasm.

A Seunghwa Ceremony for Michiko and Eric was held October 13 in Bayou La Batre, Alabama. Michiko's body was buried there, while Eric's body was flown to New York for burial in Westchester County, where his father lives, following memorial services in New York City.

Let's dance

23.11.2017

Heute am Vormittag waren wir mit Michelle und Paul vom Student Service verabredet. Michelle ist Head of Student Advocacy and Safeguarding, Paul ist ihr Vorgesetzter und kennt sogar unsere Vermieter. Der Student Service im IOWC ist eine Art "begleitender Sozialdienst", bei uns vergleichbar mit einer Mischung aus Fachdienst und Reha-Verwaltung. Hier auf der Insel geht die Schere zwischen Armen und Reichen immer weiter auseinander, viele sind arbeitslos und sozial benachteiligt. Der Student Service beschaeftigt sich mit den daraus resultierenden Problemen, wie z. B. finanzielle Angelegenheiten der Students, Fahrkarten, Essensgeld etc.und betreuen diese waehrend der gesamten Zeit am College. Sie arbeiten mit den Eltern bzw. den Pflegefamilien oder auch Kinderheimen zusammen und achten besonders darauf, dass das Gesetz z. B. Kinderschutz eingehalten wird. Ueber die Datenbank e-Tracker haben sie eine genaue und aktuelle Uebersicht ueber alle Anwesenheiten, Fehlzeiten und Vorkommnisse. Es war fuer uns ein durchaus anspruchsvolles Gespraech und wegen der Komplexitaet nicht immer so ganz leicht zu verstehen.

Am Nachmittag durften wir wieder eine Gruppe des Bereiches "Pathways" besuchen. Der Unterricht mit Liz findet immer nur Donnerstagsnachmittags statt und beginnt deshalb erst einmal mit einer News-Runde. Die Schuelerin J. ist heute an der Reihe, die News-Runde zu leiten. Jede/r erzaehlt, was er/sie seit der letzten Unterrichtsstunde erlebt hat, bevor das Warm-up beginnt. Nach Liz' Anleitung wurden einfache gymnastische Uebungen durchgefuehrt, bei denen es hauptsaechlich um Koerperwahrnehmung, Aufmerksamkeit und gegenseitige Ruecksichtnahme ging. Auch unsere alten Knochen wurden auf diese Weise mal wieder beansprucht :-) Weiter ging es mit einer einstudierten Tanzdarbietung mit Hut und Stock. Bemerkenswert war, dass die Schueler/innen ihre Rolle mit Stolz, Freude und einem tollen Ausdruck vorfuehrten. Zum Ende der Stunde wurde ein neuer Tanz auf das Lied "I like to be in America" (West Side Story) einstudiert, bei dem wir wieder mitmachen durften.

Am Abend waren wir mit Pat und Isabel zum Abschlussessen im Restaurant des Colleges verabredet. Schon beim Eintreten hatten wir das Gefuehl, voellig underdressed zu sein. Der Service war im feinen Zwirn gekleidet und alles war sehr gediegen. Es erwartete uns ein spanisches Menue, das von den Azubis selbst in der Kueche zubereitet wurde. Das Essen war koestlich und wir hatten einen sehr netten gemeinsamen Abend, wo wir die letzten beiden Wochen mit Pat und Isabel noch einmal Revue passieren liessen. Zum kroenenden Abschluss wurden uns noch unsere Zertifikate ueberreicht.

Feeling frustrated with people who wish we could "go back" to Obama & who think things would have been just fine "with Hillary." Here's why neither of them (much less the current guy) were good for America.

Let's review our recent history...

Under Clinton (Bill) we saw the explosion of Monsanto's criminal activities across the globe, the ongoing global warming behaviors which have gotten us to where we are, the set up for mass incarceration of minorities (the new Jim Crow), the elimination of the law which protected our country from out-of-control investment banking (setting the stage for the economic collapse of 2000 and 2008)...

Under Bush Jr. we saw the absolute hoodwinking of the American People with the Iraqi War for Oil & HUGE military base grab in the middle east and the BLIND EYE or the actual firing of those who spoke up about the incoming economic collapse of 2008...

Under Obama we immediately saw our nation pillaged with a "welfare bill for the wealth class" (bank bailout), massive military increases (drones, spying/NSA), the greatest number of persecuted whistle blowers in American History (Obama persecuted more loyal Americans who spoke up than ALL the previous presidents combined), the soft handling of the Gulf Oil Spill (where the media was given permission or ordered to limit images to palatable ones - only oil soaked birds were allowed on American television: no turtles, dolphins, whales or other animals Americans are considered to be soft-hearted about), the LIE that we would increase our energy independence by sourcing local resources (Go Fracking! Yeah Oil Drilling in the Arctic! Who cares about oil spills in rivers?) which got people to believe it was a good idea (OMG) to approve a massive oil extraction network of pipelines......only to THEN, after the lines were approved, eliminate the law which blocked the export of raw, crude to other nations......so, that oil that was supposed to help us get out of oil wars elsewhere is not for that purpose at all (it is to allow the wealth class to make money the only way they know how - resource extraction).

Not to mention. Obama was VERY friendly to Big Pharma - placing industry insiders into key regulatory positions right and left. AND HE WAS THE MAJOR PROPONENT OF THE TPP ALONG WITH CLINTON!!!!!

Friendly to people, the environment, and labor...he...was...not.

And then, to top it off, he presided over the most corrupt Democratic Party Primary we've ever seen, which set out to ensure that Hillary Clinton was the candidate (no matter the actual will of the people, or how popular and likely to win Bernie Sanders might be) because the desires of the people don't matter to the wealth class -- and don't you know, the Democratic Party IS a tool of the wealth class?!

So, we are here, in a huge shit-fest with Trump and only a corrupt Democratic Party as our possible ally to defeat the wealth class Trump represents (only, the wealth class will not really go up against it's wealth class brethren).....and I've got people telling me, "It would have been better with Hillary."

What about our national and planetary peril doesn't spell it out for these people? Trump is the RESULT of the problem.

The Problem HAS BEEN HERE in the shape of Obama, Bush, Clinton & Clinton...as the puppets and servants of an extremely small, extremely immoral, extremely self-centered, extremely short-sighted, extremely arrogant, extremely war-oriented, extremely uncaring International Oligarchical Wealth Class....which has loyalty to NO country. Only to themselves, their wealth, and their power.

So. Now is not the time for "Hillary would have been better" thinking. Now is the time for "Hillary would have been not quite as bad, but she was still a continuation of the planet-destroying IOWC's control of our nation."

Our country would have stood up, under Bernie Sanders, and said, "Let's change things, fix things, and let's do it for all of us, in a hurry."

Because the "status quo" is what's killing us. Not Trump.

FFWPU children sent to orphanages in Korea – and mothers sent away in the US

Frank Frivilous [pseudonym]:

“Although Sun Myung Moon has his own peculiar interpretation of biblical stories, they only tend to serve his own interests and not that of their stated purpose. Restoration through indemnity as prescribed in Adam’s family in the Divine Principle quickly gets abused – as we see in the high numbers of disaffected church members. Then there is the shameful way that Moon treats his own illegitimate children. In the following testimonial and speech by Moon, he acknowledges that some members have resorted to sending their children to orphanages.”

Here are the quotes:

Sun Myung Moon, July 14, 2002, East Garden, Irvington, NY “In 1970, I mobilized wives for three years. That was the second such mobilization, and I said that the third mobilization would come. ... In the 1960s those unmarried girls received the blessing. Later they stood up for another mobilization. They did not have enough space for their babies. They asked their relatives to take care of their children, and even left them in orphanages, and all blessed wives went to a public mission. The family foundation was offered up, and the households were so miserable, and it was done in order to save the nation. It was a three-year course. Each blessed couple has to prepare to do this.”

▲ Yun-yeong Yang 梁允永 was professor of music at Ewha Womans University in Seoul in 1955. She later left Moon and the UC, as did Ewha Professor Chung-hwa Han 韓忠嬅 who joined at around the same time.

The early members who gave up their children to follow Moon are legendary – but was it principled? Did they do so voluntarily, or was it required by Moon? What is being restored by rejecting these “Abel” children? This can only be interpreted as a failure by those who believe they are in Abel position. A contradiction of one of Moon’s most important teachings and the pattern that is well established by the man himself. If the members cannot even care for their own children, it is highly unlikely that they will be able to serve and win over their “Cain” recruits. This was borne out repeatedly in church history, including some of Moon’s own key followers.

This can only be explained as an expression of extreme narcissism.

Yes Frank, you are correct. But don’t forget that it wasn’t only demanded of earlier members. I know so many “sisters” who joined the FFWPU and were told they had to “sacrifice” their “blessed” children in order to “save” the “Cain” children of the world. So they abandoned their children and went out to fundraise and witness for Moon. (The purpose of witnessing was to bring in more fundraisers.)

Also, when the marching orders came for all sisters all over the world to leave their blessed children to join the IOWC (International One World Crusade) teams and travel all over the USA, I witnessed much suffering and tears.

When I asked some who I saw suffering and crying the most why they didn’t just stay home with their children I was told, that they were told, “If you don’t sacrifice your blesses children Satan will attack them”. To me that is spiritual terrorism. They left their children and joined mobile IOWC teams because they were threatened with harm to their children. It makes my blood boil! That kind of spiritual threat always has been the modus operandi of Moon and his style of leadership.

Full definition of Modus Operandi: a method of procedure; especially: a distinct pattern or method of operation that indicates or suggests the work of a single criminal in more than one crime…

Moon convinced the leaders that Satan will attack us if we didn’t follow his every whim, they believed him and then learned from Moon to use that same form of spiritual terrorism to control our every thought, feeling and action.

One sister on my IOWC team left to visit her husband to start their family. During the 3 day ceremony she got pregnant. She was told that she was not supposed to get pregnant during her 3 day ceremony. That it was “bad luck” and that her child would be invaded by Satan. I watched her cry day in and day out on the IOWC team because she was made to fear for her unborn child’s life. That kind of teaching/belief is evil and sickening.

Living on the IOWC team was like living at a funeral 24/7 because so many sisters were hurting over the fact that they had left their children for what was an UNSPECIFIED time period. We had to move to a new city every 21 days, never knowing how many years we would have to serve on IOWC teams. Even that fact, never knowing how long we’d have to be on IOWC traveling teams was a form of spiritual terrorism. Would it be months, years? No one knew and so we were always kept in an emotionally unstable frame of mind.

Moon was a hater of the family and a spiritual blackmailer.

How many couples and how many children have suffered because he terrified them into abandoning their families in order to serve him and his insatiable appetite for power and wealth?

The number one complaint among men in the FFWPU

▲ The Moon family in August 1991.

If a man thinks he owns his wife’s vagina then he’s a rapist. His wife’s sexual organs are hers and hers alone, to give or not to give according to her own will. And that is why the number one complaint among UC men is that their wives do not want to have sex with them.

RE: Richard Panzer defends Moon on who the owner of a women’s body is … as in, sexual organs, as Moon refers to those women’s body parts.

From the mouth of Sun Myung Moon: “American women think of their organs as belonging to them. As a result, they act freely and do whatever they want with them. This is also the case for the men. But you are only the caretaker of your sexual organ. In other words, the caretakers are passing themselves off as the owners.

I ask the women: When did you meet the owner of your sexual organ? The owner is your husband. And you men: Do yours belong to you? Then what is marriage? Through marriage men and women are to find the owners of their sexual organs…If man and woman are meant to marry among themselves, how can there be gays or lesbians? They will cease to exist. In less than a century, they will be gone in one generation. In light of this, should you get married or not? Why get married? Because this is the way it is, you need to get married. You must absolutely get married.” (162-50, 1987.3.22) CSG 1750-51

Notice in the quote above that Moon never mentions love as a motive for a man and a woman to marry. I think that says everything about the man!

If Moon really believed the statement he made about a woman’s sexual organ belonging to her husband, then why did he put his sexual organ into the sexual organs of married women who joined his church in Korea?

Moon is a sexual thief, just like Lucifer was.

According to Moon, he gave Hak Ja Han’s sexual organ (you know, his penis) to another woman, named Annie Choi – the mother of Sam Park, born in 1966. So, according to his own interpretation of the ownership of a person’s sexual organ, Moon is a thief because he gave to Annie Choi that which he claimed belonged only to his wife, Hak Ja Han, as her personal property.

How do UC members keep making excuses for this messed up megalomaniac? Do members ever stop to listen to their own warped reasoning where Moon is concerned? Do they have any idea how insane their justifications sound to reasonable people who don’t have a dog in any fight to defend Moon?

Do husbands believe their wives, who were given to them by Moon like pieces of property, without love even being a consideration, gave their bodies to them because the wives believed the husbands were the true owners of their bodies? Are the husbands seriously that blind and heartless?

Women in the UC are taught that they cannot have a family without Moon’s permission. They want a family so they let Moon give their bodies to men they don’t know or love.

Moon makes sure men and women of the church are sexually deprived as long as he can – and keeps the prospect of a family from them, dangled like a bait. Members often work hard, channelling their pent up sexual energies into building him an empire. Young-whi Kim explained, in New York a couple of years ago, that is why Moon held back on giving the “Blessing” to members from the mid 1960s onwards.

There is also the pyramid scheme of members not being able to even get matched, and then married – to a total stranger – unless they bring three new recruits (archangels to protect their blessing) into the church.

Then Moon controls the couple’s sex life through the three day ceremony. The first sexual experience of a couple is never forgotten. Moon witnesses the act through the photo of himself that he demands is always in the bedroom. Are the wives firstly “brides of Christ,” – brides of Moon? Moon told one husband “She belongs to me.” Three in the bed? Sex in the UC is always under the shadow of Moon.

Members are taught to believe the act of sex will get them in on God’s good side, and hopefully into heaven itself. It is about ritual and duty … and the “cleansing of original sin”.

I know that the majority of the women in the UC are not married to the man they love, but to the man they were conned into marrying. I know way too many “sisters” in the church for whom sex is not something they want because it is devoid of real love. I know way too many children in the UC who were not conceived in the love between a real husband and a real wife.

Some couples have grown to love each other, but they are in the minority. Duty and fear of losing the “salvation” Moon offered, and fear of damnation in the spirit world, can be strong factors in keeping couples together who would otherwise divorce.

Other couples have decided to stay together, sometimes for the love of their children, although they would never have chosen each other.

Then the UC seeks to gain and maintain control over the “blessed children” encouraging them to go to church and workshops, where they are taught to fear “falling” and any thoughts of sex. The children are often told that their own parents failed – and that they should only respect “True Parents”. The UC wants them as the next generation of witnessers and fundraisers to sustain their Korean empire.

Moon said to second generation members in Korea in the mid 1990s: “Your parents are like used tampons”.

This was translated into English as: “Your parents have not completely fulfilled”.

Nice, real nice.

I myself remember laughing with all the women in attendance at East Garden one morning when SMM asked us who we loved more, him or our own husbands. We all laughed and screamed “YOU FATHER!” Then he told us it was our job to bring our husbands money to him. He said we women were responsible to bring back to him –  “the True Adam” – God’s money. He said we were like heavenly thieves for God because we had our hands firmly on our husbands wallets and that as Eve it was our responsibility to bring what belonged to God back to God … meaning HIMSELF.

… Isn’t it more of an Archangel type personality to want all the women to love you more then they love their own husbands. Isn’t it more Archangelic to demand that the women who love you more than they love their own husbands bring their husband’s money to you? …

After I wrote [an earlier] piece about the nature of an Archangel, meaning Moon, I couldn’t help but wonder if all you men out there really think the purpose of the messiah is to emasculate all of you. Bow to Moon. Let him tell you how to live. Let him tell you have no right to fall in love of your own free will. Let him tell you who to love, who to make a family with – who to have sex with. Let him tell your wives to leave you so that they can do his bidding. Remember the three years separation period and then the 40 days separation period, and then how to have sex the first three times? Remember all the mission demands, like IOWC where all the wives had to leave their husbands and even their children for three years? Let him tell your wives to take your money and give it to him?

Really if any other man was doing such things and you saw it from the outside in, instead of the inside out, what in God’s name would you think of this kind of crap? Really? Do you think so very little of yourselves that you actually enjoy handing over your balls at the door when you joined the UC? Cain and Abel? Moon is Abel and all other men of the world are Cain? It totally emasculating.

Isn’t emasculation what the Archangel did to Adam in the garden?

In your hearts you know it is.

My husband is a man in his own right. He never accepted the emasculation of Moon and his church. He was always considered a real Cain because he wouldn’t conform. And that got him the respect of your [former] LLM minister, In Jin Moon. That’s real world stuff, that’s not some UC sycophantic wishful thinking where you worship the Moons and they treat you like servants. The men who are the worst sycophants are the ones who manoeuvre into Abel/leadership positions so they can then emasculate the Cains under them, just like Moon did to them.

You may think Jesus is the wimp and Moon is the True Adam. But one of them gave his life for mankind and the other does nothing but take and take and take.

Example: The Moon’s are Billionaires. You know that. So why couldn’t they pay for the 40 year celebration party in the US when all the old members were the honorees? Why did members have to pay for such an honorary party? Celebrating 40 years of sacrificial service – and the rich Moons couldn’t foot the bill? Why in God’s name didn’t they? They’re takers. Always have been, always will be. One Adam gives, the other takes away. One of them is really a wolf in sheep’s clothing. One of them is actually archangelic in nature. You decide who you really want to emulate.

Karen Alleyne Taylor: “Richard, I’ve had personal experience that confirms exactly what you say. Three months after Steve and I were matched, one week before the wedding at Madison Square Garden, we were both sitting in front of Mr Moon as he launched into what would be a 12 hour speech marathon in his mansion home of East Garden.

Both Steve and I were present earlier that morning at Belvedere when Mr Moon confessed an incident that occurred while receiving a massage from widowed 36 couple wife Mrs Lee, following a long day of tuna fishing in Gloucester earlier that year. He told the crowd at Belvedere he had dozed off and thinking he was in bed with Hak reached up to fondle her breasts. The next morning, both he and Hak Ja Han apologised to Mrs Lee for that innocent mistake. “Oh, Father, I was massaging your arm, it was a reflex action!” Ho, ho ho. All of us gullible, starry eyed kids laughed in shock at our idol, and loved his humble honesty. He told us he had a pure mind that did not regard women as sexual conquests.

Only a short time later at East Garden he began a 12 hour speech/meeting with Ocean Church members and American CARP leaders by comparing Koreans, Japanese and Americans to parts of the body. He then continued and recalled his confession at Belvedere, assuring us of his mighty powers of self control and his pure mind completely free of sexual thoughts towards women. I was sitting right at his feet, as I had been the week before at the rented home in Provincetown when he spoke to many newly wedded Ocean Church couples at the conclusion of the tuna season. He knew me from touring the Good Go boat factory in Long Island City where I was a small parts fabricator and gelcoater. He knew me from a surprise visit he made to Master Marine members following the Reagan election when he played with my hair and suddenly yanked me by my jacket until our noses touched. Perhaps this is why he felt comfortable to do what he did next.

Suddenly, as quick as lightning, he reached down and cupped my right breast, giving it a good squeeze, as if he was testing a ripe piece of fruit. I remember feeling as if time was frozen, and so many thoughts rushed into my mind. Finally, I thought he was just stirring up the stuffed shirts again, I knew he had a good sense of humor and I thought, what a joke. I saw the faces of shock, and eyes popping out and I laughed.

He looked over to Steve, who sat only a short distance away and said to him in English, “She belongs to me first”. He looked pointedly at him while Bo Hi Pak translated, “if you don’t like it you can leave the room”. Steve shook his head and said, “It’s ok, Father” or words to that effect. Over the years I wondered what that was all about, I wanted to understand the significance. Now I do understand, the reality has been unlocked for me, thanks to courageous women like Nansook Hong and Annie Choi.

Richard, you wrote, “And there is yet more stuff to come out about the Rev which has been held back for legal reasons, but which, if and when it emerges, will shock even those whose faith has remained intact despite all the previous revelations.”

I look forward to that stuff. I prefer to hear the bitter truth rather than embrace seductive lies.”
