From Rep. Slaughter today.
What we're up against isn't just the shameful work of individuals like these. It's a much broader problem. It's a problem that is rooted in the Republican establishment that has held power in this nation's capital for far too long.
Sadly, their legacy has been the fundamental degradation of our democratic institutions and the abandonment of core principles.
See anything here?
Yet, Moon also made clear that his longer-range goal was the destruction of the U.S. Constitution and America's democratic form of government. "History will make the position of Reverend Moon clear, and his enemies, the American population and government will bow down to him." Moon said, speaking of himself in the third person. "That is Father's tactic, the natural subjugation of the American government and population."
Sorry if I am repeating myself here but it is so important...
There has been one major change to the political mix of our fragile democracy in the last 30 years. One. That "one" moved us little by little - right and theocratic. In that one's mind his job as the messiah was to raise up the religious right to control America. Without the conservative's Saviour using his front organizations and billions in swindled cash to move us politically, there would be no Bush type person in the White House nor the hard right in control of congress. An Alito would not have sat down in that oiled up chair. Wouldn't have happened - least not on this schedule. Do you think anyone will EVER take notice and tell the nation what it is that has us on this road?
Anyone even care?
This didn't start when Bush began squatting in the WH in 2001. It's a decades long production and won't change overnight...not by a longshot.
Do we care to see WHY this is happening? Think it makes a difference if we do?
No, he wasn't alone, but are we afraid to admit he was the straw that has stirred the theocratic fascist drink? That he gave the the theo-right the boost to get over the top? Too scary to admit that he was the one positioned at the tipping point in our nation's history? Is it too troubling to believe? Do we need, for sanity's sake, to ignore the one who said that the separation of church and state is what Satan likes most and has worked relentlessly with the conservative movement, the Republican Party, to bring down the wall?
I'll say again, I believe he had a fork in us by 1993. By then he had us on the "right" road by promoting and buying conservatives and working with the extreme theocratic elements in our society. He empowered them. When they fell, he picked them up and gave them a pocketful of swindled cash, a pat on the butt and sent them off to change our nation toward HIS vision.
"Gingrich Revolution" in 1994? haha NO, it was the conservative's saviour's revolution. He financed their backbone. Have you ever googled "America's Newspaper"? A non-citizen, with a definte agenda, funded it. Do you see why?
We rightfully work towards turning our nation around. Do you think we can do it without facing why we are going down this road in the first place? Awakening our fellow citizens as to why?
I am afraid by the time we take notice, he will have completed his real goal...gigging the planet - something we seriously may be too late to stop already.
As you read the US News excerpt below, please keep in mind their "church" members are first and foremost political operatives whose goal it is to put their leader and the group in charge of the direction of world events. That IS their "religion."
Quoting the Fraser Report finding #3:
Among the goals of the Moon Organization is the establishment of a worldwide government in which the separation of church and state would be abolished and which would be governed by Moon and his followers.

Rev. Moon's Rising Political Influence
His empire is spending big money trying to win favor with conservatives
On New Year's Day, 1987, South Korean mystic Sun Myung Moon, who considers himself to be the son of God, told his Unification church followers that he wanted to expand the church's political influence in the United States. His aim, Moon said, was "the natural subjugation of the American government and population."
...the church[Unification] has established a network of affiliated organizations and connections in almost every conservative organization in Washington, including the Heritage Foundation, the largest of the conservative think tanks and an important source of government personnel during the Reagan administration. Although Heritage officials deny it, the foundation has dramatically changed its policy toward the Unification Church. In the early 80's the foundation, wary of the church's aims, prohibited staff or fellows from being associated with Unification Church organizations or taking money from the church or church-financed institutions.
As the Washington Times has become the voice of capital conservatives, the Heritage Foundation has become far more tolerant of church ties. The foundation accepts the participation of Lichenstein and other senior fellows in church-funded enterprises and allows its staff members to go to church conferences.
The Unification Church's newfound influence has occasioned intense debate among conservatives. One group of worried young conservatives meets regularly in private to compare notes about the problem. But little of the debate has surfaced in public forums. "Most people are afraid to address the issue because they don't want to publicize the extent of the church's involvement," says Amy Moritz of the Conservative National Center for Public Policy Research.
Because almost all conservative organizations in Washington have some ties to the church, conservatives also fear repercussions if they expose the church's role. That happened when one organization, the Capital Research Center, published a newsletter last November warning of the church's attempt to create a "centralized world theocracy." One of its board members, who was also on the board of the International Security Council, resigned in protest, and conservatives charging that the paper was creating discord on the right, besieged the center with angry calls. "We got a very, very strong reaction -- almost as if we were the enemy -- because we raised the issue," says CRC Chairman Willa Johnson, a former president of the Heritage Foundation.
Please pray, please pray very hard.
