An introduction to the (K)CIA in the Unification Church

▲ Pictured: The late Bo Hi Pak The Republic of Korea (South Korea) underwent a dramatic political transformation in the years following the Korean War. In 1961, General Park Chung Hee staged a coup d'état, overthrowing Syngman Rhee’s government and ushering in a new era of fascistic authoritarian rule. This period also saw the reorganization of the young but growing Unification Church by the newly formed government.

Moon’s church synthesized the theological and spiritual trends of his day, which were largely syncretistic, synthesizing elements of Christian apocalyptic narrative Korean shamanism and Confucianism. The Unification Church offered a seemingly pro-Korean ideology that appealed to many Koreans who were looking for a sense of national identity after years of Japanese occupation and a devastating war. This movement tapped into the popularity of Pentecostal and Holiness revivalism, which emphasized direct experience of the Holy Spirit and ecstatic religious practices. 

In 1962, Kim Jong Pil, a close ally of General Park, was appointed head of the Korean Central Intelligence Agency (KCIA). Kim saw the potential of the Unification Church as a tool for political influence and reorganized it with the help of Bo Hi Pak, a KCIA agent who had previously served as a personal aide to General Park. The “reorganization” was designed to turn the Church into a political asset for the Park regime

Under the new leadership, the Unification Church was given access to government resources and allowed to expand its activities more freely. The Church's focus shifted towards political activities, such as promoting anti-communist propaganda in public schools and lobbying for government policies favorable to the Church's interests. Bo Hi Pak became a key figure in the Church soon after joining, serving as Moon's chief aide and helping to build the Church's connections to the government and military. Both Bo Hi Pak and Young Oon Kim recruited a number of military and intelligence agents into the organization, including Steve Kim (Kim Sang In) and Bud Han (Han Sang-kook).

Some notable figures associated with the Unification Church and US intelligence agencies include the already mentioned Bi Hak,  Steve Kim, Bud Han, as well as Paul Perry, Juan Sanchis, Tom Ward, and a number of others.  These individuals have been accused of engaging in covert operations, collecting intel on both fascist/right-wing and left-wing organizations, and working with the US government to further its interests.

History tells us that the Moonies are fascist.

▲ Pictured: CAUSA leader Paulo-Juarez Pereira in the Air Force during Vietnam

Even tapping a little into Moonie history is enough to make you re-think the world and its most vital structures.

I remember learning about how CAUSA international was directly assisting the United States Central Intelligence Agency in supplying the Contras, in addition to paying for flights by rebel leaders. This funneling of supplies to the Contras escalated after Congress cut off CIA funding for the rebel groups. And men I respected, my parents respected, my community respected, were involved. 

Understanding that many of the key CAUSA figures in Latin America at the time were involved in the military, including the Air Force, there has always been a lot of speculation about how hands on they were. It has been repeatedly confirmed that Ward played a role as liaison between intelligence agencies, the Moonies, and the fascist coup-organizers of Bolivia, but it is not known the level of complicity and participation figures like Sanchis and Pereira had. 

That said, they all know more than they act like they do. And they understood the weight of their actions. They believed the annihilation of communism was worth every human rights violation and every war crime.

History tells us that the UC was actively funding, and seeking to fund, organized fascism all over the world. We need to stop letting the UC try to prove itself as a family-oriented movement of peace-makers and let their history speak for itself.
