Young Oon Kim, Lofland, Stark, and the Institute for Personality Assessment and Research

Both parts excerpted from Mike and Virginia McClaughry’s research:

The CIA group Institute for Personality Assessment and Research, was at UC Berkeley. Erving Goffman was a Sociology professor at the University of California in Berkeley. Goffman had previously received CIA funding under MK Ultra.    71

John Lofland was invited to Berkeley to work as a Teaching Assistant to Erving Goffman, starting in the Fall semester of 1960. Rodney Stark was one of their Sociology students.

CIA funding was provided to research conversion in a deviant religious group. The project was under the Institute for Personality Assessment and Research. John Lofland and Rodney Stark were assigned to be the researchers. Goffman received CIA funding and he acted as handler for Lofland and Stark.

On 21 November 1960 Young Oon Kim finally stepped foot into San Francisco Haight-Ashbury district. She was now ready to begin her real assignment – the making of the Unification Church.   59 Young Oon Kim was not gaining very many converts by preaching Moon’s religious beliefs.

In the Fall of 1961 John Lofland and Ronald Stark hook up with Young Oon Kim. The Divine Principle is a book containing Moon’s religious teachings. Lofland helped Kim re-write the Divine Principle to make it more acceptable.

Lofland also taught Kim to use interpersonal relationships to recruit people. That meant that converts should bring in their family and friends. That worked. Membership in the Unification Church then began increasing dramatically.

. . . .

John Lofland was invited to Berkeley to work on his Ph.D as a Teaching Assistant to Erving Goffman.

CIA funding was provided to research conversion in a deviant religious group. The project was under the Institute for Personality Assessment and Research. John Lofland and Rodney Stark were assigned to be the researchers.

Lofland and Stark would soon take Young Oon Kim under their wing.

Interview with Stark –

Stark: I enrolled at Berkeley in the fall of 1960.

Stark gets “given a research appointment at the end of the first semester“. That is December 1960. Stark says he “went to the Survey Research Center” that was directly under the purview of the CIA Institute for Personality Assessment and Research.

As his Curriculum Vitae verifies. Specifically, it says that he was working as a “researcher for a research associate” under Charles Glock and its recently formed Survey Research Center.

John Lofland and Rodney Stark deliberately sought out a “deviant religious group” to study because that was their assignment, that’s what the grant money stipulated.

Lofland and Stark would have been reporting/discussing in to both Charles Glock and Erving Goffman throughout the whole period that they were there with the Moonies.

This shows that Erving Goffman was receiving CIA funding –

In 1995, Raymond Prince published an illustration consisting of photo reproductions of pages of the Human Ecology Fund Annual Report of July 1961.

Under “other studies, grants” and sub-heading “Other publications, monographs” we see several names that are most definitely actual full-out witting MK-Ultra operatives, such as James A Hamilton. Under ‘publications, monographs’: we see Erving Goffman show up again, clearly illustrating that he is a repeat grantee of the CIA’s largesse. (Price Anthropology Today June 2007)

In March 1962 Lofland and Stark officially moved in with the Moonies.

We said that friendship ties were in the first instance much more important than theology. That people learned the theology, but they learned it only after having already learned to trust it because their friends did.

Progress Through Theology “An interview with Rodney Stark, author of For the Glory of God: How Monotheism Led to Reformations, Science, Witch-hunts, and the End of Slavery” David Neff/ July 1, 2003

As Lofland and I settled back to watch people convert to this group, the first thing we discovered was that all of the current members were united by close ties of friendship predating this …with Miss Kim. …became friends with Miss Kim after she became a [?] with one of them. By the time Lofland and I arrived to study them, the group had never succeeded in attracting a stranger. All had been tied to group members through friendships.

We also found it instructive that during most of her first year in America Miss Kim had tried to spread her message directly by talks to various groups and by sending out many press releases. Later, in San Francisco, the group also tried to attract followers through radio spots and by renting a hall in which to hold public lectures. But these methods yielded nothing. As time passed Lofland and I were able to observe people actually become Moonies. The first several converts were old friends or relatives of members who came from Oregon for a visit. Subsequent members were people who …close friendships with one or more members of the groups.

We soon realized that of all the people the Moonies…in their efforts to…the only ones who joined were those with interpersonal attachments.

…In short, conversion is not about working or embracing an ideology, it is about bringing one’s religious behavior into alignment with that of one’s friends and family members. …Of persons who did join, many were newcomers to San Francisco whose attachments were all …far away. As they formed strong friendships with group members these were not counterbalanced because distant friends and and families had no knowledge of the conversion in progress.

The Craft of Religious Studies pp 175-196 On Theory-Driven Methods RODNEY STARK

Kim tried to attract followers through press releases and advertising, but this produced no results. Instead, what made for new converts was personal relationships. If a person had a friend or family member who was a Moonie, the prospects for conversion increased dramatically.

“Conversion is not about seeking or embracing an ideology; it is about bringing one’s religious behavior into alignment with that of one’s family and friends,” Stark says.

Stark explains, “Conversion to new, deviant religious groups occurs when, other things being equal, people have or develop stronger attachments to members of the group than they have to non-members.”

Late 20th Century Conversions: How the Moonies Did It by Julie Garner, editorial Martyrs, Myths and the Mighty, Columns magazine, U of W Alumni December 1998 issue.

John Lofland helped Young Oon Kim rewrite the Divine Principle because people found it unconvincing –

“While the second edition was far better than the first, by October, 1962, Miss Kim had begun making revisions and typing out the manuscript for the third edition. In part, this new effort came at the urging of Gordon Ross, a new member and former Woodrow Wilson scholar in linguistics at the University of California at Berkeley. He pointed out deficiencies in the text that had hindered his study and which if not amended would in his view lead scholars to dismiss it.

This time, Miss Kim was anxious to produce an authoritative version. She finished typing the manuscript on December 1, 1962, and proofreading began two days later with Gordon Ross and John Lofland, a doctoral student in Sociology at the University of California who was studying the group. They finished on December 5th. A second proofreading began on the 9th and finished on the 11th.” (Mickler, Chapter 2)

John Lofland wrote his thesis. It shows his research into the Moonies was CIA funded. It says –

This investigation was supported in part by a Public Health Service fellowship to the senior author from the National Institute of Mental Health (MPM-16, 661; 5F1 MH-16, 661-02).

John Lofland, as the senior author, was paid to do this from the CIA’s main funding conduit at this time.

Moon, aged 45, astonished to find the earth older than 6,000 years

▲ Moon and Hak Ja Han in Egypt in 1969. It was here during his earlier visit in 1965 that Moon had his awakening.

Young Oon Kim taught at UTS Barrytown for many years. In 1957 she wrote the very first Divine Principle (in English) that was published by the UC, even before the 1958 Korean edition. Miss Kim explains about Moon's journey in her testimony:

Our Leader’s Trip From Rome to Jordan

August 28, 1965 published in New Age Frontiers – September 1965

“Dear Family,

After a three-hour flight from Rome, we arrived in Athens, Greece. It is our rule to bless ground before seeing anything, so we went out with a city map to look for a park. It is not allowed in Greece to step on the grass in the parks, so after a long walk we found a place in the park … and it was blessed at 8:10 pm on August 22nd. … We saw another museum on August 24, and in the afternoon left for Cairo, Egypt, arriving there at 8:20 pm. On August 25th our Leader blessed ground at 9:30 a.m. in Orman Garden near the River Nile and Cairo University. Then we visited former King Farouk’s gorgeous palace. He was driven away from his throne by President Nasser and the Egyptian people. Next we went to three large mosques which are 600 to 900 years old. We saw many Moslems praying in the temple.

Next day we visited a number of pyramids, a sphinx, and other ancient royal tombs which the Egyptians call the Dead City because they built houses on many acres of desert. This is another type of ancient cemetery. We entered an open pyramid (only one is open) which was as high as a mountain. We crawled over a hundred feet and climbed up another couple of hundred feet to the top, and found an empty stone coffin in a cell. The mummy had been taken to the museum which we had already visited.

In both Athens and Cairo we saw the great civilizations which existed before Christ. The ancient Egyptians believed in the resurrection of the dead and built great tombs. Some tombs and statues were built 8,000 years ago, and many statues were erected 5,000 to 6,000 years ago. Our Leader was greatly astonished to see the huge pillars used in the Greek temples in Athens, and the ancient architecture of the pyramids and mosques built so many centuries ago. He stood by the River Nile and seemed to pray for a few minutes. The Egyptians call the river the Mother of Egypt because, in the huge desert of Sahara, the river makes part of the desert green and brings abundant food and water for the Egyptians to live. …”

Here are some quotes from Moon speaking in 1956, before he understood the true age of the earth:

“The trillions of living things on the earth and the billions of heavenly soldiers and angels hope to usher in the day when they can sing the glory of God and offer bows of gratitude. God has sent countless saints to the earth to bring about such a day. After 4,000 years, Jesus, the only begotten son, was sent as the manifestation of the internal heart and external self of God and as the embodiment of glory.  … What is the meaning behind those words? Jesus felt to his bones this distressed heart of God, which saturated the 4,000 years of history with tears. Accordingly he felt that it was his responsibility to serve God. He felt that no matter when or which hour he had to represent the heart that could not be revealed in the 4,000 years of history he would be the champion who offered his life and fulfilled the dispensational will completely. … What kind of heart did God possess toward men during the 4,000 years? He did not have the mind-set of living for His own sake. Although men deserved to die at once and suffer pain, God gave all of His heart to men and persevered through the 4,000 years of history. He walked the path of conflict in which He separated Satan from men. Similarly you should understand the nature of God who has persevered, fought, and loved for 4,000 years with an unchanging heart.

Jesus, who appeared before such a God, offered all that he had to build a nation of God centering on the Jewish people. Consequently the thirty years of his life was the time of sacrifice when he offered all of his heart. During the thirty-year course, he did not try to distinguish himself before the people, but in silence he tried to experience the heart of God, who had persevered for 4,000 years. … God walked through the 4,000 years of bloody history for the sake of finding one man, Jesus. … For 4,000 years, God looked down on the world with sorrow and worry by Himself, but when Jesus stood on the earth, centering on him, a new battle with Satan unfolded. … If in your own course of perseverance, you cannot pour out all of your heart and persist, then because of you, the will of God who has mourned for 6,000 years, the will of Jesus for which he toiled his whole life, and the will of the Holy Spirit who has worked strenuously for 2,000 years since the death of Jesus, will all be greatly hindered. You must understand this clearly.”

…

Sun Myung Moon – May 27, 1956 (Wednesday) Seoul, Korea 

“Divulge the work of Heaven’s love and truth, which has been hidden for 6,000 years, and unfold the miracle of resurrection. … By repeating the changing history during the 6,000 years of long history God personally intervened on earth and fought with Satan. … God does not want any battle ground to remain on earth. Because the resentment was caused on earth, only when the victory is reaped and the grief is removed on earth can Jesus Christ’s battle be concluded and can he come again. What is he to do after coming again? He is to bring to an end the battle that has taken place for the last 6,000 years and receive the blessing from God.”

Sun Myung Moon – April 8, 1956 (Sunday) Headquarters Church, Seoul, Korea 

“Consequently God has spent the last 6,000 years hoping for the day when, centering on the love He wanted to implant, He can bring together all of the creation and live in joy with them.”

Sun Myung Moon – June 6, 1956 (Wednesday) Seoul, Korea

At UTS in the 1970s, Young-oon Kim said this about Moon to the students: 

“He should go back to his school bench.” Perhaps she had good reason to say that.

Dawg is it bad that I could do an entire essay about how Transformers Animated is basically nationalist propaganda? Mostly because a lot of cartoons post-9/11 absorbed the idea that “aliens” are basically bad and are dehumanized.

Also there are some of the comics that portrayed heavy nationalism as well. I mean bro, there is seriously a comic on how the Autobots went to North Korea to stop a Decepticon that was helping (I believe either Kim Jung oon or it was his dad, I can’t remember)

I love Transformers don’t get me wrong! I love More than Meets the Eye, and the Lost Light. They are chefs kiss 👌 but a lot of post-9/11 cartoons have definitely as a kid indoctrinated young youth into propaganda.

Anybody remember Rikki Tikki Tavi? Cause bro I loved that movie as a kid. When I got older I realized it was British propaganda against India when they still had control over it.

Remember, Kids and Anybody else are not immune to propaganda.

*   ╱╱╱   𝖍𝖎𝖌𝖍𝖊𝖗 / 𝖑𝖎𝖌𝖍𝖙𝖊𝖗.

written, with love, for 김훈민 ! contains a total of 499 words. synopsis, over chuseok break, chaesoo and hoonmin meet to talk, connect, and get high(er). triggers, drug use / marijuana.

the real-life scene is set almost exactly how it would be in films: soft r&b plays as a soundtrack, the “set” is lit in warm light that accentuates the rose gold and alabaster hues of a young girl’s boudoir—her delicate elbows resting upon the surface of a vanity as she contours, highlights, and seamlessly elevates her facial features. makeup has always been a massive interest of oon chaesoo’s—her femininity a trait that she claims proudly; often wearing it upon her sleeve.

there’s nothing in this world that she loves more than being a girl. the outfits, the glam, the romanticism, the sweet softness— they’re stereotypes that she plays up to the highest degree.

whether you think that’s a good or a bad thing is up for debate, but in her opinion, it’s what she does best. she’s inspired by iconic actresses of yesteryear, especially those from the west. they possess an energy she longs to exude in every moment of her life. poised perfection, innocently sexy, but sharp-tongued and witty all at the same time. does someone like that even truly exist? in her mind, one does, and it’s none other than herself. she just hopes that other people see her in that way, too. if not, then all of this—the cosmetics, the manicures, the style—would be in vain. if how she paints herself doesn’t translate well to others, then that means she’d be nothing more than a fraud... and nothing would pain her more than that. it’s dramatic, but it’s true.

despite that, chaesoo seems to knows her truth—even if she gets insecure sometimes. she’s just feeling extra nervous tonight because she’s meeting a man that she’s had her eye on for a very long time. the said thing is: he knows how she feels, but he doesn’t seem to reciprocate. in truth, it’s fucking complicated, and it’s pretty tragic, and most of the time, she feels like she’s just wasting her time trying to get his attention someday. at times, she wonders what she even sees in him, but whenever they get a chance to hangout, she’s reminded of all of his desirable qualities—their closeness the cure for her doubt, which in a sense, is even more obnoxious. it’s a game of hot and cold, but the only person truly inflicting that upon her is herself.

convoluted, right?

nevertheless, she reaches for her favorite color of lipstick; carefully applying it, then placing it in her handbag. unlocking her phone, she checks the time and realizes that he—one kim hoonmin—should be arriving any moment. lifting herself up from her seated position, she spritzes setting spray over her face, then leaves her home. only moments later, she’s waiting on a bench outside of her building—hoping that he doesn’t leave her waiting for too long from now.

let’s just say she’s not exactly disguised in anyway. if she’s somehow seen by wandering eyes, it could be bad news... especially with what she has resting within the confines of her purse.

THE DIVINE PRINCIPLE IS A VERSION OF FREEMASONRY

Miss Young Oon Kim and President Yu created the Divine Principle commissioned by Freemasons and with their ideological and financial help. The ideology presented in the Divine Principle is identical with Freemasonry.: 1. People can develop spiritually and become gods in their own right. 2. Jesus failed and did not achieve perfection. 3. All religions must unite and The New World Order must be created on earth. The New World is governed by spiritually perfected people. 4. The Three World Wars must be fought before The New World Order will be created. 5. Two gods, Satan and God, with their followers are fighting with each other before The New World is coming.

WHAT TO WATCH THIS WEEKEND August 30, 2019  - Labor Day Blahs

I was trying to decide whether to do one of these this week, because it’s Labor Day weekend, and this is likely to be a particularly short column because I HAVEN’T SEEN ANYTHING! In fact, I’m not even doing my regular Box Office Preview column over at The Beat, because there just doesn’t seem to be much point to it. There used to be a time when studios would release movies over the four-day holiday weekend but not so much anymore, and this is a particularly weak Labor Day with no new movies opening in 1,000 theaters or more. No, it’s more about reexpanding movies already in theaters like Spider-Man: Far from Home in order to try to make more money before the summer is over.  But if this is boring, you can also read my 2019 Summer Box Office wrap-up over at The Beat.

The only new “wide” release is BH Tilt’s latest release DON’T LET GO, a thriller directed by Jacob Estes (Rings) and starring David Oyelowo and Storm Reid from A Wrinkle in Time, and it’s not even opening in 1,000 theaters. It might not even get into the top 10.  Apparently, BH Tilt is now going as “OTL Releasing” but I don’t think this movie has as much buzz as Leigh Whannell’s Upgrade, released by Blumhouse’s distribution branch in June 2018 to make $4.7 million opening weekend and $14.4 million total domestic. I don’t see Don’t Let Goopening that big as its plot is far vaguer, and I think if this make more than $4 million over the four-day holiday, it would be considered a coup since it’s only playing in less than 1,000 theaters. Who knows? I might even go see it on a lark.

Interestingly, there are two foreign language films from other countries (because as hard as it might be to believe, they speak other languages in other countries!) getting moderate releases this weekend: Sujeeth’s Bollywood action-thriller SAAHO (Yash Raj Films) and from Mexico, Ariel Winograd’s Spanish language TOD@S CAEN released by Lionsgate’s LatinX division Pantelion Films. I will be the first to admit that I’m not the best person to gauge interest in either movie because they’re not my communities, so I rarely see much marketing for these films.

Opening on Thursday, Saaho actually looks pretty cool, and if I can find three hours of time over Labor Day, I might actually check it out. It’s being released in three languages versions: Hindi, Telugu and Tamil, all with English subtitles, and that seems very groundbreaking, and it will also be in IMAX theaters. This could be another hit for Yash Raj ala the “Dhoom” series—Dhoom 3 opened with $3.4 million in 239 theaters in 2013 -- and possibly the studio’s widest release since 2018’s Thugs of Hindostan.

Check out the Hindi trailer below:

(Oddly, Saaho was supposed to be released on India’s Independence Day August 15, but then was pushed back to American Labor Day. Bollywood films tend to get day and date releases nationwide to avoid piracy.)

Tod@s Caen (pronounced “todos caen” – don’t yell at me! It wasn’t my idea!) stars Omar Chapparo, the hot Mexican star from Pantelion’s hits No manches Frida and its sequel plus How to Be a Latin Lover. No manches Frida grossed about $11.5 million after its $4.6 million opening over Labor Day in 2016 while the sequel opened slightly bigger this past March but grossed less. Latin Lover was a huge crossover success for Chapparo and Pantelion, grossing $32.1 million.  This is likely to be more in the former category and opening in 365 theaters, it probably can make around $3 million or more.

STREAMING AND CABLE

There aren’t many movies I can recommend, but at least I can recommend the new Netflix series THE DARK CRYSTAL: THE AGE OF RESISTANCE, which is a prequel to the 1982 Jim Henson movie that was made quite lovingly using the same puppeteering techniques as well as some of the same designers from the original movie. Plus the series has an absolutely brilliant voice cast that includes Taron Egerton, Helena Bonham-Carter, Anya Taylor-Joy, Alicia Vikander, Sigourney Weaver, Natalie Dormer, Lena Headey, Jason Isaacs, Theo James, Mark Strong, Toby Jones, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Simon Pegg and many, many more. As someone who wasn’t really a fan of the original movie, I found myself quite wrapped up in this series, having watched the first five episodes so far, and I think fans and non-fans alike will dig it.

You can read my interview with the writers over at The Beat.

(Netflix is also releasing a movie called Falling In Love, starring Christina Millan and Adam Demos... but that title... I just can’t!

Amazon Prime will begin streaming its own fantasy series, the very different Carnival Row, starring Orlando Bloom and Cara Delevingne, on Friday. It’s a steampunk noir crime series in which Bloom is an inspector trying to solve some Jack the Ripper style murders of the city’s fae and puck population, fantastical creatures who act as the city’s slave labor. I didn’t enjoy this nearly as much as it just doesn’t feel like my kind of thing even though I do love Victorian era stuff usually. I think it just hasn’t found its footing in the couple episodes I’ve seen. I also interviewed a few of the actors which will be on The Beat later today.

LIMITED RELEASES

Okay, I definitely lied as I’ve also seen Kim Farrant’s ANGEL OF MINE (Lionsgate), an amazing psychological drama starring Noomi Rapace as a woman whose daughter died but whom thinks that her neighbor’s daughter is actually her own. Also starring Yvonne Strahovski, Luke Evans and Richard Roxburgh, this mostly Australian film is actually a little like the recent After the Weddingin terms of the strangeness of its premise but it’s handled more like a thriller and Rapace gives another stirring performance. It will be in select cities starting Friday, and I recommend checking it out, especially if, like me, you’re a long-time fan of Ms. Rapace.

Never got around to seeing Gavin Hood’s new movie OFFICIAL SECRETS (IFC Films), because I’m such a fan of Keira Knightley, and in this one she plays Katharine Gun, a British intelligence specialist handling classified information in the lead-up to the Iraq War in 2003. She receives a shocking memo from the NSA seeking help in collecting information on UN Security Council members to blackmail them into supporting an invasion of Iraq.

Hannah Pearl Utt’s BEFORE YOU KNOW IT (1091) stars the co-writer/director as stage manager Rachel Gurner who lives in her childhood apartment with her sister Jackie (Jen Tullock), father Mel (Mandy Patinkin) and preteen niece Dodge (Oon Yaffe) above the theater they own and operate. After a tragedy, the two sisters find out their mother, long thought dead (Judith Light) is still alive working on soap operas and they need to come to terms with that. The movie also stars Mike Colter and Alec Baldwin and it opens in select cities.

Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst also has a new movie as director, a thriller called THE FANATIC (Quiver Distribution), starring Devon Sawa from Final Destination and John Travolta. Travolta plays movie fan Moose who is obsessed with his favorite action hero Hunter Dunbar, played by Sawa. With the help of his paparazzi photographer friend Leah (Ana Golja), Moose tries to find Moose as his interactions with the celebrity become more dangerous as Moose becomes more obsessed.

Liam Hemsworth from “The Hunger Games” stars in Malik Bader’s Killerman (Blue Fox Studios) as a New York money launderer who wants to find answers after waking up with no memory and with millions in cash and drugs, as he’s chased by a team of dirty cops. The movie also stars Emory Cohen, Diane Guerrero (“Orange is the New Black”) and Suraj Sharma from Life of Pi, and it’s getting a small theatrical release in select cities.

Now playing at New York’s Film Forum is Marjoline Boonstra’s doc The Miracle of the Little Prince (Film Movement) which looks at the sustained global popularity of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s The Little Prince in the eight decades since it was first published.

Opening in IMAX theaters Thursday and then nationwide Sept 6 is the Chinese animated film Ne Zha (WELL Go) about a young boy with superpowers who must decide between good and evil.

Thursday begins a “Sellers and Southern Double Feature” series (?) of Dr. Strangelove (1964) with The Magic Christian (1969), Friday is a double feature of 1999’s Office Space with Kevin Smith’s Clerks(1994) and then on Saturday is a Mad Max TRIPLE Feature of the first three movies: Mad Max (1979), The Road Warrior (1982) and Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome (1985).

WASHINGTON | The Latest: SKorea official says NKorea leader sincere

New Post has been published on https://is.gd/9nDydY

WASHINGTON | The Latest: SKorea official says NKorea leader sincere

WASHINGTON — The Latest on President Donald Trump and North Korea (all times local):

11:50 p.m.

South Korea’s defense minister says there’s no reason to doubt the sincerity of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un ahead of a summit with President Donald Trump.

Song Young-moo says, “Just because we have been tricked by North Korea in the past doesn’t guarantee that we will be tricked in the future. If we believe that, we will never be able to negotiate with them and make peace with them.”

He was speaking at an international security conference in Singapore, which is hosting the June 12 summit.

Song says if the talks on North Korea’s nuclear weapons are successful, they can be compared to the 1989 Malta Summit between former President George H.W. Bush and Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev, less than a month after the fall of the Berlin Wall.

Song says: “A dramatic change has come for the security environment of the Korean Peninsula and Northeast Asia.”

___

9:30 p.m.

U.S. Defense Secretary Jim Mattis says America’s troop presence in South Korea is not on the table for any discussion at President Donald Trump’s planned summit with North Korea later this month, adding, “Nor should it be.”

He says the “hopes of the world are on these talks.” And he acknowledges that if diplomacy with North Korea works, then troop levels and similar issues can come up, but only in discussions between the U.S. and South Korea.

He says the troop issue is “separate and distinct” and will not be brought up at the June 12 summit.

Mattis was speaking at the Shangri-La Dialogue, an international security conference in Singapore.

__

9 p.m.

South Korea’s presidential office is welcoming President Donald Trump’s decision to revive his summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un over the future of Pyongyang’s nuclear program.

Blue House spokesman Kim Eui-kyeom says in a statement released Saturday that the “road toward a North Korea-U.S. summit has widened and strengthened.”

The spokesman says Seoul will look forward to the “historic meeting in Singapore with excitement, but also patience.”

After a White House meeting Friday with a senior North Korean official, Trump said his meeting with Kim is back on for June 12 in Singapore.

South Korean President Moon Jae-in, who has met Kim twice in recent weeks, has lobbied hard for a meeting between Trump and Kim.

__

3:15 p.m.

President Donald Trump says he won’t impose any additional sanctions on North Korea for the time being.

Trump says “we had hundreds of new sanctions ready to go.” But he says he won’t impose them “until the talks break down.”

The president is referencing ongoing discussions with North Korea in preparation for a June 12 summit in Singapore with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.

Trump announced Friday after meeting with a top aide to Kim that the summit is back on. He had announced just last week that he was canceling the meeting.

Speaking after the Oval Office meeting, the president said he looks forward to the day when he can “take the sanctions off” North Korea.

___

3 p.m.

President Donald Trump says his meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un (kim jawng oon) is back on for June 12.

Trump says after an Oval Office meeting Friday with North Korea’s Kim Yong Chol that he’d be making a mistake not to go forward with the on-again, off-again nuclear summit in Singapore.

Trump says his meeting with the most senior North Korean to visit the White House in 18 years lasted longer than expected. He said it “went very well.”

Trump says his June 12 meeting will be “a beginning.”

He says, “The process will begin on June 12 in Singapore.”

__

2:47 p.m.

President Donald Trump says he has yet to read the letter brought to the White House by a top aide to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un (kim jawng oon).

Trump says he didn’t open the letter. He says Kim Yong Chol — the North Korean official — said Trump could read the letter later.

Trump and Kim spent more than an hour in the Oval Office on Friday discussing issues in the run-up to a June 12 summit in Singapore between Trump and Kim Jong Un.

Trump also says he may at some point make the letter public.

__

2:40 p.m.

A top North Korean official has departed the White House after meeting with President Donald Trump amid negotiations over a high-stakes summit.

Kim Yong Chol spent more than an hour in the Oval Office where he was spotted shaking hands with the president. He was expected to deliver a letter from Kim Jong Un (kim jawng oon), the North Korean dictator, to Trump.

After the meeting, Trump and Kim Yong Chol posed for photos on the White House lawn.

Kim is the most senior North Korean visitor to the United States since Vice Marshal Jo Myong Rok visited Washington in 2000 to meet President Bill Clinton.

__

1:14 p.m.

An aide to Kim Jong Un has arrived at the White House, becoming the highest-ranking North Korean official to visit in 18 years.

Kim Yong Chol was greeted Friday by White House chief of staff John Kelly, who brought him inside the White House to meet President Donald Trump.

Kim is expected to president a letter from Kim Jong Un (kim jawng oon), the North Korean dictator, to Trump.

The letter comes as the two countries work to revive a Trump-Kim summit on June 12 in Singapore.

Kim Yong Chol is the most senior North Korean visitor to the United States since Vice Marshal Jo Myong Rok visited Washington in 2000 to meet President Bill Clinton.

__

12:28 a.m.

A top aide to Kim Jong Un will make a rare visit to Washington Friday to hand a letter from the North Korean leader to President Donald Trump. That from Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.

He reported “good progress” is being made in talks between the two sides to revive an on-again, off-again nuclear summit. Pompeo spoke to reporters at a news conference in New York after meeting Thursday with former North Korean military intelligence chief Kim Yong Chol.

He would not say that the summit is a definite go for Singapore on June 12, and could not say if that decision would be made after Trump reads Kim Jong Un’s letter.

Neil Salonen - KCIA Agents Becoming UC Members is Not Aboveboard!

Don Diligent posted the following on February 6, 2017

▲ Pictured: John T. Butterwick, then Lt.Col John T Butterwick of Kewanee Illinois, an Air Force officer assigned to the United Nations command in Korea

Our Response -  History and Pattern of Abuses of the Fraser Investigation - Page 16

To anyone reading his testimony, it becomes quite clear that the only relationship Mr. Pak had with the KCIA was completely legitimate and aboveboard.

Investigation of Korean-American Relations (Moonies, aka Unification Church) - Relations with the Park Government - Page 24

In the late 1950’s, Moon’s message was favorably received by four young, English-speaking Korean Army officers, all of whom were later to provide important contacts with the post-1961 Korean Government. One was Pak Bo Hi, who had joined the ROK Army in 1950. Han Sang Keuk (aka Bud Han), a follower of Moon’s since the late 1950’s, became a personal assistant to Kim Jong Pil, the architect of the 1961 coup and founder of the KCIA. Kim Sang In (Steve Kim) retired from the ROK Army in May 1961, joined the KCIA and became an interpreter for Kim Jong Pil]. He continued as a close personal aide to Kim Jong Pil until 1966. At that time, Steve Kim returned to his position as KCIA officer, later to become the KCIA’s chief of station in Mexico City. He was a close friend of Pak Bo Hi and a supporter of the UC. The fourth, Han Sang Kil, was a military attache at the ROK Embassy in Washington in the late 1960’s. Executive branch reports also linked him to the KCIA. On leaving the service of the ROK Government, Han became Moon’s personal secretary and tutor to his children.

New Age Frontiers - December 1962 - Page 6

Dear Miss Kim (Young Oon Kim), Thanks you so much for your letter. In 1960, we tried to locate you in Oregon but later found you had moved to California. As you no doubt realize, activities of the last months have excluded any letter writing–even my close friends (your (her) three dedicated students)Sang, Bo Hi, and Bud. I hope some day we can meet. Mrs. Butterwick joins in sending all good wishes. Lt. Col. John T. Butterwick 690 Geneva Place Davis Islands, Tampa 6. Fla.

Question: At that time, in 1967, Miss Kim [Young Oon Kim] was teaching that was the end of the 21-year course.

Question: In 1967 I was told that it was the end of the 21 year course, and then the judgment was coming, and that should end in 1974. But I haven’t heard him say anything lately about what will happen in 1974, or the significance of what will happen at the end of that course.

…

The foregoing matters were secret, but still more so was the belief in a fully restored world within seven years of 1960. Revelations 7:4 had to be fulfilled within that period: “And I heard the number of those who had received the seal. From all the tribes of Israel there were a hundred and forty-four thousand.” Upon attaining this number the “spirit world” would become visible to everyone and cause mass member conversions. The current order would collapse in the process, and members would assume the reins of the new theocracy. Members were circumspect in speaking of Korea’s “true role,” lest outsiders doubt these American’s loyalty. In safe company, Korea was venerated as “the motherland” and God’s “chosen nation.”



pages 227-28


The most spectacular of these visits supported the feeling that UC political control of Korea was imminent. In November 1962, the mass media reported the official United States visit of a Korean political figure known as the “Director” [KCIA Director, Kim Jong-pil]. A feature story on Korea and the Director’s visit appearing in a national news magazine said he was the mastermind behind the then current Korean military junta [of Park Chung-hee]. He “provides the ideas, the drive, the plans. By his own immodest but unchallenged statement, [he] is the dominant figure of … [the] ‘revolution.’ ” After talks with high level officials in Washington, the Director spent two days in San Francisco before returning to Korea. He stayed in a luxurious hotel that flew the Korean flag over its main entrance in order to honor his presence.

▲ Young-oon Kim in about 1962.

The day of his arrival, Miss Kim received a phone call from the Director’s aide and interpreter, a Korean army colonel and UC member. He told her that he had arranged an audience with the Director for Miss Kim and her followers. Miss Kim and five core converts appeared at the hotel the next afternoon, where they met another of the Director’s aides, who had only recently converted to the UC. Before entering the Director’s suite, the Koreans conversed excitedly in their native tongue, while American members stood around and giggled with joy. The audience with the Director himself consisted of Miss Kim telling him of her work for the UC in America, after which each local member gave a brief testimony to the UC/Divine Principle’s wonders and how it had changed their lives. The interpreter translated for the converts and for the Director, who continually smiled, nodded, and chain smoked. There were soft drinks, and toward the end of the hour the Director said that he was not a religious man but had great sympathy with UC. He could not help them publicly in Korea, but he would secretly give them a hand whenever possible.

After the audience, the members assembled in the interpreter’s room, where pictures were taken and an air of family festivity reigned.

Dinner talk back in the UC Center focussed on the audience. Miss Kim emphasized that such a meeting was unique and had occurred only because the Director had high regard for his two aides who were UC members. Note was made of the recently converted Colonel being related by marriage to the junta head and thus having direct access to him. The Director’s interpreter, Miss Kim reported, was also his speech writer. When assigned to write a speech, he always got help from a top-ranking person in Moon’s movement in order to give the speeches a Divine Principle slant. Church members had a strong suspicion that the two aides would eventually convert the Director, Kim Jong-pil.

Since Sun Myung Moon was to control the world by 1967, control of his home base [Korea] would certainly come before that time. Although UC members in America were obscure and ignored, even the most skeptical had to agree that, for some months in 1962 at least, Korean control was not a fantasy. Members had access to the people whose conversion could have given them power, if only in a short-lived coup. In any event, after their meeting with the KCIA Director, Kim Jong-pil, members possessed an important sense of being secretly near the center of power in Korea. Was this not testimony to the Unification Church member’s truth [the Divine Principle]?”

(aliases corrected in the above text – in his book, John Lofland used aliases for everyone. Miss Kim was known as Miss Lee. It was an open secret that the book was about the UC.)

===============================================

.......................................Proverbs 4:18 

"For the Path of the Just is as a growing light, shining more and more unto a Perfect Day"  

THE FAILURE OF REV. MOON

Yankee Stadium: 1976

Here we have some Ruminations by Rev. Moon, trying to "spin" the events of that black day into a victory. 

The Wrath of the Lamb which has now fallen upon on him, happened for the disastrous mistake of leaving of his position, ....as the messenger in the position of John the Baptist,  and thus the total abrogation of his mission, seen by all at his epic  failure at Yankee Stadium in 1976, when God sent a storm which destroyed all the decorations and displays, as the Sign of His Displeasure with Mr. Moon.  

Sun Myung Moon decided to ignore this Heavenly Warning,  and walked around telling everyone it was a big defeat of Satan: when it was exactly the opposite: it was a stunning defeat of God, and the betrayal of His trust in Rev. Moon 

This is the beginning of the many lies and self-deceptions of Rev. Moon, and the subsequent degradation of the Unification Church which ruined the Providence almost completely.    

".....By attracting world attention and gathering the representatives of 60 nations, the June 7 rally accomplished a physical victory on the worldwide level. On the foundation of all our successes I could expand that substantial victory, and so I returned again to America, this time with a different, heightened mission. My previous mission in America had been on a spiritual level, but in 1975 I came back to America to fulfill a physical mission. 

You know what we have done in this country since then.The first 3 years of the third 7-year course were 1975, 1976, and 1977. You are the eyewitnesses of the Yankee Stadium and Washington Monument campaigns, which culminated in physical victory. on a worldwide scale. 

Initially I had planned to have the Washington Monument rally in 1977, but we were even ahead of God's schedule. The purpose of the Yankee Stadium crusade was to completely win American public opinion in support of us, and to demonstrate our strength. 

However, God was wiser, and He gave us rain that day, thinking, "Instead of being deterred by the rain, I know Reverend Moon will be spurred on to do more. I will give the rally a little sprinkle of water so that he will even be inspired to work ahead of schedule." That was God's plan....." 

Mr. Moon lied and satanically called the fierce and horrific storm which came as a Sign directly from God "a little sprinkle of water", as the rejection of God and His Christ, and a demonstration of his total arrogance and hubris in rejecting the Will of God.

This culminated in his decision to portray himself as the Messiah, when he never came close to that position in his fondest dreams: his marriage in 1960 was totally symbolic, and even then almost a blasphemous claim, in light of his not brought the Kingdom to the King or Messiah, but instead said he was in the actual position already. 

This is because he knew that the Messenger stands in the position of the Messiah until the Messiah does indeed come: but this would be like as if John the Baptist had said he was Christ when still waiting for Jesus to arrive. Moon decided that he would just pretend he was the Messiah and remove anyone who really had that claim or position from the Providence: and that is exactly what happened when he took the Blessing from the young man who cured him of his pancreatic cancer: and then destroyed him. 

That young man was the one of whom it was said;

"....  and a little child shall lead them....", 

who was indeed to have led the children of the Resurrection. This sacrificial lamb, who Rev. Moon used to save his own life, died in poverty and exile 30 years later, shortly before Rev. Moon himself died

Thus in stealing the Blessing from My Generation by robbing Howie Comis of his Gift, and subsequently saving his own, life Rev. Moon thought God would have to make him the Messiah: because now there was  no one left on the field to challenge him: but he forgot one very important saying: 

"...For he who finds his own life will lose it: but he who loses his life for my sake and the Gospel: the same shall keep it...For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world: but lose his own soul ???..."

......... Thus Rev. Moon died in the position of  the one he himself  had judged as being guilty of the death of the Lamb in his book "Divine Principle": John the Baptist.

And this happened because he did not do what he had promised God he would do on that day in 1976 at Yankee Stadium: reveal to the world that he was the body of John the Baptist reborn, thus beginning the Resurrection itself, thus restoring what John the Baptist had done when he denied he was Elijah, and thus shad topped the providence from unfolding and the resurrection from ever happening: as Elijah was to have been the first one to resurrect......of which John full well knew. 

But John had accused Mary and his own father Zacharias of having had a sexual relationship by which he believed Jesus had been conceived. This accusation was also held by Rev. Moon who Satan destroyed just as he had destroyed John. 

Both Mark Gibbs and Young Oon Kim also held this accusation of Satan to be true as well; multiplying the sin exponentially: and multiplying the evil which stemmed from this strong delusion as well.And it was this darkness in John's own heart and the invasion of Satan as thus being the cause of how he defiled himself...

This was "the beam" in John's eye that Jesus referred to; the reason he never followed the Lamb of God, but kept baptizing and fasting separately from Jesus, and stubbornly insisting Jesus was inferior to him in righteousness because he hung out with sinners and drank wine: which John saw as being a failure of one who was to be called a Nazarene since they were forbidden to drink alcohol of any kind. 

My Father Jesus drank wine almost every day.This is what Rev. Moon was supposed to have restored. But he never did.

Moon seeking to move to the U.S. in 1965?

▲ Pictured: Moon on his 1965 tour in D.C.

What was happening in 1965?

Both Young Oon Kim and Sang Ik Choi traveled the world with Sun Myung Moon on his first world tour.  The world tour wrapped up in October 1965, with Moon returning to Korea on October 10.  

March 31-May 3,1965, Moon stayed at Bo Hi Pak’s home in northern Virginia, a suburb of Washington D.C., and frequently met with Annie Choi, mother of Sammy Pak. Annie Choi was not related to Sang Ik Choi. Her family has a long, painful history with Moon. Moon would not leave until he was sure that Annie Choi was pregnant. Moon went on this tour without his young wife Hak Ja Han, though she joined him on his 1969 tour.

After spending time in Korea in 1964,  and following Moon on his world tour, Young Oon Kim moved to D.C. following the tour. At this point she had already laid ground for the Bay Area church, following her stint in Oregon. The Pacific Northwest was largely under David (Sang Chul) Kim's leadership.

Sang Ik Choi (also known as Papasan) had been on Moon’s World Tour, along with Young Oon Kim. Choi arrived in the U.S., settling in San Francisco, on November 12, 1965. On December 11, Yun Soo Lim and Kenji (Daikon) Ohnuki arrived in San Francisco, reuniting with Choi. Prior to this, both Lim and Ohnuki spent several months in D.C.

Many said that this 1965 trip destroyed Papasan Choi’s faith. He had allegedly seen many things during this tour that disturbed the holy image of Moon. It is likely that neither Young Oon Kim or Papasan Choi had really believed in Moon as the messiah at this point, if they ever did. They seemed to have ulterior motives when it came to their membership, considering their presence in the UC for decades while privately claiming they no longer believed in Moon in the orthodox sense, as well as their countless government connections. 

In 1965, Bo Hi Pak founded the KCFF, with Eisenhower as the honorary president. Both Radio of Free Asia and the Little Angels dance troupe were under the KCFF.

Moon was preparing the way for his move to the U.S. in 1965: 

"There are many Christians who anxiously desire to see the day of the coming of the Lord. If the Lord comes by the clouds of heaven, I know there will be no problem for this present world to accept him. But it is also possible that even after the Lord has come through the clouds of heaven, and even after people meet him and realize that he is not their concept of the Messiah, some may not accept him at once. As I mentioned already, it is of vital importance that we must live with him.-- live with the Messiah, with the Lord, with the One. It is not only important to see him and meet him but it is important to stay with him. This is of ultimate importance. Therefore, America today has to develop a new way of life in which there is room for him.”

Moon spoke these words at the UC Headquarters in D.C. on March 12, 1965, one month after arriving in the U.S. for his tour.

It was on this tour that Moon was able to meet Eisenhower. Eisenhower allegedly told Moon during this meeting, "Man is a spiritual being. We must bring to bear a greater moral strength based on moral law to stand against the communists. It will take the vigor of youth to do this." 

It seems he was hoping to eventually move to the U.S. It may have seen evident that providence was turning this way, as Bo Hi Pak had created a substantial political foundation and it was evident that his message was catching on, with communities that were effectively building a financial/economic foundation. Could he have also been hoping to continue providential sex with Annie Choi, or maybe even making her his primary wife while in the U.S.?

Moon’s fourth wife, Won-pok Choi:

The Korean language magazine, Sunday Journal, and Kirsti Nevalainen’s book, Ritual Sex in the Unification Church, both list Mrs Choi as Moon’s fourth wife. At least one Korean authority on new religions stated that Hak Ja Han, who came after Won-pok Choi, was Moon’s fifth wife. Won-pok Choi left her husband and children to join the UC in December 1954.

Frank Frivilous on Young Oon Kim’s “Blessing”

▲ Pictured: Mr. Bong Choon Choi (Sang Ik Choi or Papasan Choi) and Mrs. Won Pok Choi listening to Moon speak to German members on the 1965 world tour. Young Oon Kim is interpreting.

From a post by "Frank Frivilous," posted on the old 'What Is On The Moon?' blog on December 9, 2014:

I want to respond to an anonymous poster who may have misunderstood my post about the David Kim and Young Oon Kim foundation. Of which there is no Young Oon Kim foundation because they claim that she burned her archives. Yes, I respect and admire Young Oon Kim very much for her accomplishments, and no I do not really care about her personal love life. Perhaps I’m just mildly curious as to why she chose a “normal” marriage to someone outside the church rather than seeking Moon’s “blessing”. Even to one of his vaunted peers from spirit world, like so many of Moon’s former concubines. To be honest, I am not even that interested in Moon’s personal love life accept for the fact that it is so full of infidelities. You should look it up if you are unfamiliar. INFIDELITIES, as in infidel or unchristian or even Pagan. Something that Moon himself preached against and certainly Miss Young Oon Kim would understand, she being a professor of Theology and all.  She has a fascinating history if you care to research it and it is a pity that we do not have more access to it. One thing is absolutely certain though, there probably would not be very many American and European members if it weren’t for her careful interpretation of Divine Principle and even of some of Moon’s messianic “special” dispensations. I’m going to go out on a limb and suggest that Moon drove her into early retirement when he arrived on the scene in the U.S. because she DID occupy the high ground spiritually. He probably could not trust her because she wouldn’t compromise in her personal life. What became of the church after Moon and Young Whi Kim arrived in the U.S. was a headlong descent into cultic madness that first sought to fulfill obligations to the K.C.I.A. then the C.I.A. Moon had no apparent desire to establish a religious legacy and ruthlessly used the credentials of others to shield his more base ambitions. That’s just my opinion though. I am proud of the legacy that all the members did establish through their sacrifices and sincere prayer. I hope that you will understand the disappointment some of us feel to see it squandered the way it has. By squandered I mean the Moons, Kwaks, Paks the whole bunch turned out to be lying thieves. Here is one example of many:  

http://www.tparents.org/moon-talks/HyunJinMoon-11/HyunJinMoon-110708.pdf

Scroll to page 110 and read how Hyun Jin Moon made 10 million dollars of Japanese donations disappear. I call it total entitlement syndrome, very similar in fact, to the relationship of Wall street banks to the U.S. treasury. In any case, it certainly isn’t some past aberration but an ongoing intergenerational trauma. The question on everyone’s mind is how to stop it and my solution is to go back into the history of the church and discover how it all started. Then we can take the necessary steps to unwind this blight on human history.  Sincerely yours, Frank Frivilous (please use the correct spelling next time!)

Bo Hi Pak - Did you join the Unification Church in February 1957 or February 1958?

From Bo Hi Pak’s “The Truth is My Sword Vol. 11″:

Before I met Professor Young Oon Kim in 1957, I had been a Christian for five years. But I must confess that even after I converted to Christianity, my heart was still empty and my religious fervor was not ignited. There were so many questions in the Bible which no minister was able to answer for me, such as: What is the meaning of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil? How could man’s eating of a fruit become a hereditary sin? Is Christ God or man? When would Christ return? And a thousand others.

One day in the cold month of February, Prof. Kim, working in the same military compound as I, wrote to me about a “new truth” which would answer all the questions that I had. She didn’t mention Father’s name; she didn’t even mention the Church’s name. She simply invited me to come one night to hear about this great truth. I was in such a thirsty condition for truth that I immediately accepted. I listened to the Divine Principle lectures for two nights. At that time, I didn’t even know that it was Divine Principle. But the important thing was that I learned more in two nights about the Bible than ever before and all my deeply held questions were answered. It was liberation and a joy. This was a powerful truth. I had absolutely no hesitation to say to Prof. Kim that, “I have found the truth. Please bring me to your leader. I want to become a teacher of this truth. I want to learn more.”

Dr. Young Oon Kim introduced me to Father two days later in a humble church where there were no chairs, and no stove in winter. But I was moved by the fervent devotion of the members. I automatically became a member without even questioning whether I should join or not. No such question ever came to me. I was only thankful to God that he had led me to the truth; my search was over. Now only the job was ahead of us. I thanked God a million times.

In ‘The Truth is my Sword,’ Pak claims he met Kim in February 1957, after she wrote to him about a “new truth.” He joined the Unification Church soon after. He also said that in 1957, when he joined the Unification Church, his wife and him had been "completely one." In a speech in this book, Pak said, “I came and mingled with the early pioneering church members in 1957.”

The 1957 date was cited in court by Pak in 2011 (Hyun Jin v. Bo Hi Pak).

And yet in ‘Messiah’, another testimonial memoir, Pak says that he joined in February 1958. 

From Bo Hi Pak's "Messiah: My Testimony to Rev. Sun Myung Moon":

Then, one day, a letter was delivered to me. The sender was someone with whom I was not directly acquainted, a Miss Young Oon Kim who worked as a secretary in the KMAG chaplain’s office, which was located in the same compound where I worked. The letter’s contents were quite short, saying only, “There is a place where they discuss matters that are important to human life. Would you like to go there with me sometime?”

I telephoned Miss Kim at her desk in the chaplain’s office and told her that I was willing to go with her to this place sometime when it would not interfere with my official duties. I checked General Matthews’ calendar and made an appointment to accompany Miss Kim in the evening two days later. It was my hope that this invitation would lead me further on the pathway to the truth.

At the appointed time, I went to the place where Miss Kim had asked me to meet her, a shop in the middle of Seoul named Tonghwa Dang. It specialized in herbal medicines used in traditional Korean healing practices.

Pak then went on to explain how Young Oon Kim gave him part 1 of the Divine Principle workshop, and they met again for part two. It was a few days after Kim’s lecture that Pak met Moon. 

The date was February 17, 1958—the day I first met Reverend Moon and the day I became a member of the Unification Church, known formally as the Holy Spirit Association for the Unification of World Christianity.

Also revealed in this book was that it was on February 17, 1958, that he heard: "You have discovered the will that Heaven has set as its purpose to accomplish, so now you must dedicate your life to this." Though convinced of the authenticity of Young Oon Kim’s lectures, his meeting of Moon sealed the deal. He wrote, “This was the meaning that February 17, 1958, held for me. It was the birthday of my soul.”

During his testimony before U.S. Congress in 1978, Pak claimed, "I became a follower of Rev. Sun Myung Moon in 1958. Since then I have been a faithful disciple to him and a member of the Unification Church for over twenty years."

Surely these dates are important to Pak, as one’s date of joining the Unification Church (”the birthday of my soul”) is important to many believers. How could he get it wrong by a year? If it was by chance intentional, why?

In this text it is written that he received training at the U.S. Army Infantry School at Fort Benning, Georgia, future home of the School of the Americas, from 1956 to 1957. He also writes that soon after returning to Korea, in September 1957, he was invited into the staff of Maj. Gen. Willis S. Matthews, chief of the Korea Military Advisory Group.

According to Pak, from September ‘57 to ‘59, he worked as the Special Assistant to Chief of U.S. Military Advisory Group in Seoul.  

Though this mismatched timeline may seem like an innocent mistake, 1957-1958 was a huge year of development and growth for the Unification Church, and a pivotal time for Pak. If he had in fact joined the Unification Church in February 1957, a date he has often cited, including in court, he would have already been a member of the Unification Church by the time he was invited to work for KMAG. 

If he was mingling among church members in 1957, and joined in February that year, he would have joined the Unification Church while in the United States, which seems highly improbable, or during a brief trip back to Korea. But this is not the story Pak tells. 

Where was Pak throughout 1956-1957, and when did he actually join? Why would these dates be obscured?
