Moon revolves around Bush family


By Bill Berkowitz

OAKLAND (United States): When former President George H.W. Bush takes
the stage to deliver the keynote address in honour of the 25th
anniversary of the ultra-conservative Washington Times newspaper in
mid-May, it will not be the first time he has spoken in support of one
of the Rev. Sun Myung Moon's enterprises.

And whatever fee Bush will realise from his appearance is only one
aspect of what author Kevin Philips has termed Moon's "close"
relationship with the Bush family.

While the elder Bush - and other family members - have benefited both
financially and politically from this relationship with Moon, the head
of the Unification Church has a more varied agenda in mind, one that
includes a pardon from current President George W. Bush.

(In the 1980s, Moon served a 13-month sentence in jail for tax
evasion. He doesn't want to be a considered a convicted felon and is
hoping for a pardon before Bush leaves office.)

The Bush family/Moon relationship dates back "to the overlap between
Bush's one-year tenure as CIA director (1976) and the arrival of in
Washington of Moon, whose Unification Church was widely reported to be
a front group for the South Korean Central Intelligence Agency
(KCIA)," Phillips wrote in his bestselling book "American Dynasty -
Aristocracy, Fortune, and the Politics of Deceit in the House of
Bush."

During a time when the activities of the KCIA were the subject of a US
congressional investigation - dubbed Koreagate - Phillips pointed out
that "within Washington councils, Bush was a powerful voice against
any unnecessary crackdown on the US activities of allied intelligence
services."

"One of George H.W. Bush's first tasks as director of the CIA was
managing the 'Koreagate' scandal, in which the government of South
Korea and its intelligence agents had waged espionage against the US,
government," Fred Clarkson, the author of "Eternal Hostility: The
Struggle Between Theocracy and Democracy" -- which includes a chapter
on the Moon organisation - told in an interview.

"Some of those agents were leading members of Moon's Unification
church. Some members managed to infiltrate Congressional staffs -
primarily Democrats," he said.

During the 1980s, Moon's Washington Times consistently supported the
Ronald Reagan-Bush team in its version of the events surrounding the
Iran-Contra scandal. According to Clarkson, "the Moon organisation was
part of the private supply lines to the Nicaraguan contras, The
Washington Times was given special access and provided consistently
flattering coverage and the newspaper also set up a special fund for
private funding of the contras."

In 1996, the relationship became decidedly financial when the former
president travelled to Latin America to help Moon launch "Tiempos del
Mundo" (Times of the World). At the time Bush called Moon's flagship
US publication, the Washington Times, "an independent voice" and
assured the crowd that "Tiempos del Mundo... (will be) the same
thing." According to published reports Bush received at least 100,000
dollars for his participation in that event.

More recently, Moon's Washington Times Foundation funnelled a million
dollars to Bush's presidential library through the Houston, Texas-
based Greater Houston Community Foundation.

Moon has also contributed to the financial wellbeing of other Bush
family members. In 2005, Neil Bush, the former president's son and
current president's brother, accompanied Moon on a few legs of the
reverend's "World Peace King Bridge-Tunnel" tour, showing up at his
side in the Philippines and Taiwan.

Late last year, Business Week reported Neil Bush's Ignite! Inc. - an
educational software company featuring what it calls "curriculum on
wheels," or COWs - received a million dollars from "a foundation
linked to the controversial Reverend Sun Myung Moon... for a COWs
research project in Washington-area schools."

But perhaps the most tangible aspect of the close relationship between
the Bush family and Rev. Moon is the unbending support the Washington
Times has given to George W. Bush since he announced he was running
for the presidency. In recent years, the newspaper's editorial and
opinion pages have consistently supported the president's "war on
terror" and war in Iraq.

"The Rev. Moon is a monster in the laboratory of conservative
politics; no one wants to think about him, yet in order to ensure his
continued support they must periodically feed his appetite for
tribute," John Gorenfeld, an investigative reporter and a long-time
chronicler of Moon's activities, told reporters. "One of Moon's
paybacks at Times-sponsored events is to have his picture taken and
rub shoulders with the politically powerful and well-connected."

"Besides the gift of the support of the Washington Times, Bush and his
son have accepted large amounts of money from Moon's church," said
Gorenfeld, the author of a forthcoming book about the Rev. Moon and
U.S. politics.

"In the Clinton years, George and Barbara Bush toured Japan with Moon,
as well as Argentina. He is believed to have taken over a million
dollars. More recently, a Moon company funnelled 250,000 dollars to
the fund for George W. Bush's inauguration."

Moon's enterprises extend far beyond the Unification Church, says
Steve Hassan, an expert on cults and a licensed mental health
counsellor who was once a leader in the Moon organisation.

"There are a number of business and political fronts; it's a multi-
billion-dollar international conglomerate headed by a demagogue who
claims that he's the greatest guy in history, who wants to abolish
democracy, end or destroy the United Nations and set up a theocracy
for his heirs to rule," Hassan said.

When the elder Bush takes to the podium next month, it would be
surprising if the close relationship between the Bush family and Moon
is scrutinised by the mainstream media, since it has been basically
ignored or glossed over for decades, Hassan insists. --- The IPS News

you should look at the LaRouche site for old & current exposes;
the LaRouciacs have been a frequent target of the Wash.Times,
which is distributed for nothing on Capitol Hill
(it has always been run at a loss,
funded by the Moonie syndicates).
During a time when the activities of the KCIA were the subject of a US
congressional investigation - dubbed Koreagate - Phillips pointed out

thus:
I am still somewhat confuzed, both by the scattershot writing
of AP, and the Euclidean proof. anyway, I found this "simpler" one
than Euclid's, but I will slightly confound the matter
by first showing,

Analysis. The proof just given is conceptually even simpler
than the original proof due to Euclid, since it does not
use Eudoxus's mehtod of "reductio ad absurdum," proof
by contradiction. And unlike most other proofs of the theorem,
it does not require P.30 of _Elements_ (sometimes called
"Euclid's Lemma") that states: if p is a prime and p|ab, then
either p|a or p|b. Moreover, our proof is constructive, and
it gives integers with an arbitrary number of prime factors.

NB: he also mentions Goldbach's proof, using
the coprimality of the Fermat numbers, and
"Hermite's very simple proof concerning n! + 1!"

I'm sure that other folks have not understood Eculid's proof,
before this, but AP may be the longest-ever hold-out, or
died trying to get into The Book (of world records and/
or Erdos .-)

thus:
Natsios's rebuff of Rice and Prendergast, was somewhat startling to
those
present who are involved in African policy. Rice and Prendergast,
along
with Anthony Lake-former National Security Advisor (1993-97)-were the
hard
core of the anti-Sudan Africa policy grouping which consistently
misled
President Clinton, until the very end of his two Administrations. In
an
Oct. 2 Washington Post guest column, Rice, Lake, and Rep. Donald Payne
(D-
N.J.) issued a bone-chilling demand for military action against Sudan,
in
the name of fighting genocide. Titled, "We Saved Europeans. Why Not
Africans," the trio referred to the use of force to "save" Kosovo,
and
called for bombing, blockading Port Sudan, and other actions against
Sudan.

At immediate issue is the make-up of an international peacekeeping
force in
Sudan. What is referred to as a "hybrid UN-AU peacekeeping mission"
has
been proposed by Kofi Annan, after consultations with the UN Security
Council and the African Union (AU). This "hybrid" idea is the latest
UN
proposal to Khartoum, after the vote in August of Security Council
Resolution 1706, authorizing a UN peacekeeping force, that is intended
to
supercede the current African Union Mission in Sudan (AMIS). As of
late
November, it was unclear what kind of UN deployment would be accepted
by
the government of Sudan, even if the chain of command is run by
African
military leaders at the top, since Khartoum in the past has rejected
any
deployment of troops with Chapter VII mandate.

On Nov. 20, Natsios simply stated that Jan. 1 is his deadline for
Sudan to
agree to a UN plan, or else "Plan B"-which he did not specify-would be
the
recourse. Whether Natsios's more conciliatory tone represents a real
shift
in policy, or reflects the military limitations for a robust military
deployment into Darfur, is also unclear. However one should not
underestimate the desperation of Dick Cheney's controllers to start a
new
war in response to the monetary-financial meltdown now gathering
speed.
They may have already anticipated the rejection of the UN-AU hybrid
force
by the Sudan government, and are preparing for some type of Plan B
military
action against Sudan using the Darfur crisis, and/or the escalating
conflict between Sudan and Chad, as the pretext.

"Global Warning,"
an *anonymous* article in an old issue of *National Review*,
the so-called conservative mag of the grotesque Establishment
creature,
William Buckley, was a sort of benignly-spun expose
of the Mont Pelerin Society, the vehicle of British imperialist "free
trade,"
free beer & free dumb, whose many "rightwing" affiliate foundations
are always in the news. the universally-newspaper-lauded-when-
he-died founding president, Mitlon Friedman,
used Sir Henry of Kiss.Ass. to conduct their first experiment
in Chile, with the help of Augusto Pinochet & Dick Nixon.

(the fact that it was an awful failure, with the privatization
of Chile's social security, was only recently mention, but
only before Uncly Milty died.)

I realized, much later, since it was anonymous, that
it was probably taken from The Holy Spook Economist, but
I haven't checked that hypothesis.

yes, "Warning" was meant to evoke "warming," although
nowhere mentioned in the article, as I recall; can you say,
"emmissions trading schemes," Boys and Girl?

can you say, "hedge funds on out-of-the-way desert islands?"

Just Desserts Island

thus:
Kucinich is reportedly presenting a bill of impeachment
for Trickier Dick Cheeny, today, which may be augmented
by some rules of Congress via the state of Vermont.

now is the time to make him resign!

if you are not a PC Democrat, ask me, How?,
in person. if you are not a PC Republican, please,
tell the others of the meaning of the word,
republic!

why do Dick, Borat, Osama, Harry P., Rumsfeld and Tony B. want us
to underwrite the 3rd British Invasion of Sudan,
so badly?

which are really fictional British characters?

whwat is the role of the Prime Minister in the Muggles government,
and who is he said to be by The Holy Economist?

anyway, Bertrand Russel published a jeremyad in the Bulletin
of the Atomic Scientists, while the USA was the only thermonukey
power,
that we should bomb them into the Stone Age;
that's your British "pacifist," whether before or after he went nuts
because of Godel's proof.

thus:
if you can't prove that all Fermat numbers are pairwise coprime,
again!
