Google Vids has the BBC's 2000 documentary on Sun Myung Moon - "The Emperor of the Universe" up now...don't know if they will pull it so watch asap.
This is an excellent documentary ...
Only one beef with it is that William Cheshire - a former Washington Times editor who is excellent in the doc other than one statement - Cheshire says that Bush 41, who has been a major shill for Moon, doesn't know what Moon is about. Not true.
This is a must see...

MUST SEE to understand the WT and Moon's media efforts
(on edit: 1991 Shorts talks and then Q&A given by former editorial page editor for the Washington Times, William Cheshire, former top leader in Moon's organization, Michael Warder and Founding Editor of the Washington Times, James Whelan, about why they left the Washington Times.)

more on the flop..
Why is it so hard for people to understand that when Moon spends billions on a propaganda paper it is his tool, it is his effort to manipulate our political process? The Washington Times has NOTHING to do with the free market of ideas, it loses billions. This claim of "independence" at the Washington Times is just a head fake. It was designed to push the nation right while Moon also funded hard right and theocratic figures like Richard Viguerie, Lahaye and Falwell, and created fronts like the American Freedom Coalition to promote the theocratic right.
The Washington Times was founded by a Moon organization which brings in hundreds of millions of overseas and swindled bucks to the USA and is a major cog in Moon's plans for the planet - it gives Moon face the world over and it gives right wing extremists something to quote. Created in 1982, Moon's Washington Times has been the right's spine.
It has already accomplished what Moon wanted it to do. No Moon's billions and fronts like the Washington Times and the right would not have taken control of our nation in the 80s and 90s - no Moon cash and fronts and a Bush 43 type is never president. Moon is the right's savior and yet today you have liberals sending Moon well wishes on his promotional tours to mold the planet...strange but true...
