The August 2001 issue of the Last Trumpet newsletter describes it exactly. Er...you might also notice that the author described the WTC bombing to a 'T'. And for anyone who thinks that there was some 're-editing' of the website I might also mention that in those days he sent out printed copies of the newsletter that many people had in their hands several weeks before 9/11.

"To whom shall I speak, and give warning, that they may hear? Behold their ear is uncircumcised, and they cannot hearken: behold, the word of the Lord is unto them a reproach; they have no delight in it. Therefore I am full of the fury of the Lord; I am weary with holding in: I will pour it out upon the children abroad, and upon the assembly of young men together: for even the husband with the wife shall be taken, the aged with him that is full of days. And their houses shall be turned unto others, with their fields and wives together: for I will stretch out my hand upon the inhabitants of the land, saith the Lord. For from the least of them even unto the greatest of them every one is given to covetousness; and from the prophet even unto the priest every one dealeth falsely. They have healed also the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace. Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? Nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore they shall fall among them that fall: at the time that I visit them they shall be cast down, saith the Lord." Jeremiah 6:10-15 "Woe unto them! For they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Co'-re. These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots; Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness forever." Jude 11-13 In this issue of the Last Trumpet Newsletter, we will look at the ever-increasing amazing events of our day that were foretold in the Word of God so long ago. We will see the lateness and urgency of the hour in which we live. This ever-increasing crescendo of events should cause to resonate to the depths of our souls the words, "Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen." (Rev. 1:7) We live in an unbelieving world that is filled with signs from on high, but the multitudes choose to look the other way. There is such a lack of conviction, and standards have been lowered far below the level of complete shame. Churches and religions are either dead or spiritually confused to the point where there is no character or discernment. It is truly a world that has run amok, and Satan is still walking to and fro, and up and down in it. It is the small number of praying people world-wide that is holding things together. The prayers of the elect remnant, as they harmonize with the will of the Almighty, cause amazing things to happen. There is victory in prayer, and we have found this to be true on a continual basis. Conspiracy On The East River! Exactly one week ago, we returned from New York City, where we spent six days working for our Lord and Saviour in research and spiritual warfare. It was our eleventh trip to this city of spiritual Babylon, and one of our reasons for going was to go to the United Nations, where meetings were to be held to plan a strategy on how to completely disarm the "citizens" of all member nations. On Friday, July 6th, something happened to me that I will never forget. It is something that has happened few times in my ministry, and as we were sailing across New York Harbor on the Staten Island Ferry for Manhattan, the Almighty stunned me with an amazing vision. I was standing at the front of the ferry outside as we were approaching the Statue of Liberty. I looked at the statue and my eyes focused on the torch. This torch is a symbol of the Illuminati and is referred to by the conspirators as the "torch of Illuminism." After looking at the torch, I turned my eyes to the 13-mile island of Manhattan. There, in the distance were the twin towers of the World Trade Center rising a quarter of a mile high. The other sky- scrapers in the financial district of Southern Manhattan filled the narrow island. As I looked, I felt the Spirit of the Almighty come over me, and when He opened my eyes I saw massive flames of fire rising high into the sky as the entire island of Manhattan was engulfed in flames. The flames rose high above the buildings and pulsated with intensity. I could hear the horrifying screams of multitudes of people in the distance as the burning continued and intensified. Then, the vision ended as quickly as it began, and I stood there with tears filling my eyes as I realized what is coming upon this nation. I then heard a voice that seemed to come from inside of me saying, "Tell not the vision until you return." I do not pretend to know what it all means, but I do know that time is short and the end is near. We arrived in Manhattan and took the subway to forty-second and Lexington, walking the rest of the way to the East River and the United Nations. We went inside, through security, and into the Meditation Room, which was designed by the second Secretary General of the U.N., Dag Hammarskjold. The room is 18 feet wide at the entrance, 33 feet long, and contains a black monolithic stone altar at the center. This black rectangular stone weighs exactly 13 thousand pounds according to the plaque on the wall. We put our hands on this evil altar and prayed against all the powers of darkness that are at work there. We prayed that the power of the blood of our Lord Jesus Christ would discomfit the powers of darkness! We decided to take a guided tour, and my primary reason for doing this is always to ask a lot of questions, which always proves to be a real strain on the official guides, who are monitored and have to try to be careful what they say. This time our guide was from India, and I asked her to talk about the 11 days of meetings for disarming the people, which were to start the following Monday. She said that she would comment on that at the end of the tour. During the tour, she took us to various chambers in the massive U.N. complex, which are all adorned with occult objects. The phoenix bird is popular in the U.N., and the guide explained that like the mythological bird that rises from the ashes in flames, so the U.N. has risen from the ashes of world wars. Our guide also reaffirmed that all food and water is now under the direct control of the U.N., and that the expiration dates are affixed to all packaging of food and water, not for the purpose of freshness, but for the purpose of allotment, allocations, and a world inventory of such items. Another thing that arrested my attention was when our guide announced that the Committee on Decolonization had completed its work and had disbanded. She explained that the world was almost completely decolonized and now under U.N. control, so there was no more need for that committee. It was over; the work was done. They now believe they have the world, and they refer to every individual nation as a "U.N. State." Chills went up and down my spine as I realized how arrogant and haughty these people are. They are so much like their father, Satan. Finally, the tour was over, and there is so much more to tell. As the tour ended, I brought up the subject of the disarmament meetings beginning on Monday. I think that she was hoping I would forget about that, and she seemed a little annoyed with me. Our guide informed us that the plan was only to confiscate and destroy "illicit" guns. She also said that it has been the purpose of the United Nations since its inception to totally disarm the people. (Our guide also told us that the U.N. only uses military force as a last resort. We are supposed to believe that their bullets are peaceful bullets.) It was truly amazing to me that this notable and magnanimous event was hardly touched by the mainstream news media. This was an eleven-day summit to disarm the people of the world, and there would be 189 delegates in attendance representing every member nation, and in some cases, they would be heads of state. (1) Isn't this news? Why the silence? What are they trying to hide? In one associated press story, the U.N. was "up in arms" and tightened security because they received 100 protest letters. Even though the U.N. admitted that there were no threats in these 100 letters, they believed that the "gun buffs" who wrote them posed a security risk. (2) Security was very tight when we went back to the U.N. on Monday, the first day of the meetings. In the entrance, there was a display of confiscated weapons and ammunition that was welded together in a square block and was a gift from the Canadian government. There was also a green chalkboard about thirty feet long where people were writing all kinds of Communist messages, occult peace signs, and pro-U.N. jargon. I felt inspired and took a piece of chalk and left the following message on that board, "Repent! The end is near! The U.N. is antichrist!" At this point, we must note that it is no coincidence that the meeting was to last eleven days. We know that in the realm of the occult, astrology and numerology are vitally important. I know, because I was once very much a part of that world. I never use such things now as a Christian, but I do call attention to how the enemy uses them. The number 11 has come into prominence in that past year, because the witches that serve as the priesthood for the One-World Government of Illuminism believe that we are now entering into the age of Aquarius, which is the eleventh sign of the Zodiac. That is why the meetings were to last eleven days. It is also no coincidence that they picked the week of Friday the 13th for their meetings. We continually see the numbers 13, 18, 33, and 39 in all of their activities, and now we see 11's everywhere. In the realm of witchcraft, numbers can be triumviral or intensified by 3. Thus, three 6's becomes 18, and three 13's becomes 39. With that in mind, we should remember that the United Nations complex is built on 18 acres of land on the East River, where there once stood the largest stockyard and slaughtering facility in the world. Untold thousands of cattle had been slaughtered there, soaking the ground with blood. New Yorkers used to refer to it as "blood alley" until John D. Rockefeller bought it and gave it to the United Nations. Eleven architects designed the complex and the tall secretariat building shaped like a monolith is 39 stories high. One important question that still remains is how binding would a U.N. resolution or treaty be even if it is contrary to the United States Constitution? To answer that question, we can look back to the year 1951, when the fiery Senator from Ohio, John Bricker, introduced Senate Resolution 177, usually referred to as the "Bricker Amendment." The Bricker Amendment was designed to protect the Constitution of the United States from being superceded by the U.N. or any other treaties. In part, it stated, "Any provision of a treaty that conflicts with the letter of the Constitution will be rendered null and void....A treaty will become effective as internal law only with the passage of appropriate legislation by Congress; that is, treaties will not become self-executing.....The amendment will rein in the executive with the requirement that all executive agreements between the President and any international organization or foreign power be made only in the manner and to the extent to be prescribed by law. Such agreements shall be subject to the limitations imposed on treaties, or the making of treaties." (3) The Bricker Amendment failed to pass by one vote and left the U.S. Constitution subordinate to the will of the United Nations and its treaties. (4) Many other things happened in New York while we were there, and it is far too much to write in one issue of this newsletter. After visiting the United Nations on Friday, we went to the clandestine Roman Catholic extremist Opus Dei headquarters and prayed. This building is 18 stories, counting the basement, and is a new and elaborate building equipped with high-tech security equipment. There is a strange spirit emanating from that building. We also went to the Masonic headquarters on 23rd Street and learned many things there. This is the lodge where the Masonic Bible is kept that is used to swear in the Presidents of the United States, including our current so-called "Christian" President. This is also the place where the word "communism" was invented, and this is the lodge that financed Karl Marx and Engels to write Das Kapital in Soho, England. (5) I was amazed to find out the next morning that a sidewalk collapsed on Prince Street in the heart of the area known as SoHo in New York City. The subway was shut down for a time, and it was a sign to us. The President Came To Town! We were so busy in the city of New York that I had not been keeping up with the news. On Monday evening, we determined to go to Ellis Island on Tuesday morning, because we had a little time before we had to be at the airport. I always wanted to see Ellis Island because of the history that surrounded it, and as a place where millions of immigrants came to the United States, many of them being products of Illuministic plots and intrigues. That night, I had a dream; in fact, the same dream three times. In the dream, I was speaking to President Bush and urging him to repent and be a Christian before it is too late. I urged him to break his vows of secrecy to the clandestine orders he belongs to. I urged him and told him what a golden opportunity he would have, and how much good he could do. Three times I woke up with this dream. Upon awaking, I wondered what it meant, and as I was preparing for the day, I turned on a local TV channel to see what would be happening that day. I was completely shocked when I heard the words, "President Bush will be on Ellis Island today." I also learned that the ultra liberal and left wing Senators, Chuck Schumer and Hillary Clinton, both Democrats from New York, accompanied the Republican President on Air Force One to New York. As we took the Staten Island Ferry to Manhattan, we watched the helicopters and coast guard boats in the harbor. Secret Service agents were everywhere. We knew they would not let us go to Ellis Island, but we were able to view it from Battery Park and pray. We learned that immigrants from 18 nations were being sworn in as citizens. The President was then whisked away to the Roman Catholic Saint Patrick's Cathedral. At the Cathedral, it was observed that President Bush kept tapping Hillary on the shoulder, and they kept whispering back and forth as if she was giving him advice. (6) As the President stood in the massive Cathedral on the prestigious Fifth Avenue, he began by saying, "For me, on my first visit as President, it's a pleasure, Mr. Mayor, to be in the capital of the world." (7) Here let it be noted that the word "capitol" as a building means "Temple of Zeus or Jupiter", according to my 1929 edition of Merriam Webster's dictionary. It was in this huge temple where President Bush was now giving a posthumous award to the late Cardinal O'Connor. The late Catholic leader was awarded the Congressional Gold Medal, and it was received by O'Connor's sister, Mary Ward, as the President gave her a big kiss on the lips. (8) The general consensus was that the President charmed the religious leaders of New York. (9) This is the same President Bush that is compromising on every hand to try to get Congress to approve all 13 of his annual budget and spending bills. (10) This is also the same George Bush who recently attended European Union meetings and stated, "We have an opportunity to form an alliance of peace, that Europe ought to include nations beyond the current scope of the EU and NATO. I strongly believe in NATO expansion, and I believe the EU ought to expand as well." (11) It is late in time, and the powers of antichrist are closing in fast. It is time for all true Christians to pray as never before and to not be entangled in the engulfing grasp of the deceptions of the beast system. More Evidence Of The Rising Beast! The book of Revelation warns us in chapter 13 that a many-headed hydra monster or beast would rise out of the sea and impose its authority upon all the inhabitants of the world. We are seeing this beast in action every day, and everyone is being watched whether they realize it or not. In order for antichrist powers to increase their control, they must eliminate more and more privacy. In an Associated Press story dated July 1st, we saw headlines that said, "High-Tech Security On Tampa Streets." The story tells us that 36 cameras, which are computer-driven, have been installed on certain streets and can match people with a database of mug shots. A similar camera located 19 people with outstanding warrants in the crowded Super Bowl stadium recently. (12) What would happen if you and I were made criminals by not cooperating with the new world order? In addition to street cameras, police stations everywhere are purchasing thermal imaging cameras made by Raytheon, which provide night vision in all lighting conditions, including total darkness. These cameras cost 13,000 dollars each but are provided by federal grants. (13) In a recent story, U.S. Assistant Attorney Doug Chavis used infrared satellite images to convict farmers in Arkansas for fraudulent land use claims. Chavis said, "The satellites are orbiting all the time and they have photos on file. They take photos of everything. They can go through cloud cover. Infrared can tell whether the field's been plowed and what kind of plants are on it."(14) We have now learned that the State of Colorado is going to map the faces of drivers. Special cameras will map every driver's facial characteristics like a three-dimensional land chart, and "face recognition" databases will be kept. (15) Everything is tightening up, and the footprints of the beast are becoming more obvious. In fact, on June 16th, Applied Digital Solutions began beta testing implant technology for its "Digital Angel" program. There are now a number of human beings implanted with microchips that emit a homing beacon, monitor vital bodily functions, and confirm identity when making electronic transactions. All of this is operated and controlled by satellite and interfaced computers. (16) I have also learned that hospitals in Australia are now starting to identify and match newborn babies with their mothers, not with nametags but with matching tattoos. (17) Here in the United States, the Oregon Senate has approved a plan to screen first-born children for medical and social problems. The plan calls for screening all first-born infants, about 18,000 babies per year, for medical problems and social risk factors. Nurses and social workers will be given the right to enter into people's homes and check them out for drug use, alcohol problems, and other risks. (18) When will people cry out? Why are people so docile, ambivalent, and apathetic? Privacy is almost gone! We have a space station that is watching people continually and recording databases in its massive computers. This space station is 13 stories high and has 13 laboratories. The space shuttle Atlantis attached a new air lock door on the station on Friday the 13th. The door weighs 13 thousand pounds. (19) The occult implications are obvious. In addition to all of the above concerning the lack of privacy, on Sunday, June 17th, Secretary of State Colin Powell let the cat out of the bag. On that day, June 17, on Fox News Sunday, the first segment was being hosted by Tony Snow, a journalist and member of the Council on Foreign Relations or CFR, which is the Illuminati in the United States. The discussion between Tony Snow and Colin Powell was regarding the problems that the Russian government was having in trying to find their nuclear scientists since the break-up of the Soviet Union. Reportedly, Powell, obviously without thinking impulsively stated the following: "Finding the Russian scientists may be a problem being that Russia does not have a Social Security System, as here in America, that allows us to monitor, track down and capture an American citizen." (20) After making that statement, Powell sat there speechless for several moments in disbelief that he had said what he said. The word "capture" stands out from all the rest! Witchcraft Mentality! Having come out of the occult, I am very sensitive to anything of that realm, and I always try hard to warn people that it is nothing to mess around with. Witchcraft is an abomination in any form, and the Harry Potter books are now destroying our country with the endorsement of many churches. In November, the 11th month of this year, the Harry Potter movie is scheduled to appear in theaters everywhere. I have in front of me, a picture from the movie that appeared in a London newspaper. The headline says, "Revealed: The Dark Secrets Of The First Harry Potter Film." It shows children at "Hogwarts" school all dressed in black and straddling broomsticks. Another picture shows Harry lifting his hair to reveal the mark of a lightning bolt on his forehead. Yet another shows them standing in front of the three-headed hound of hell. (21) I am amazed at the ignorance and lack of discernment of the ministers. There was a time in this country when anyone who promoted such blatant witchcraft would have been ridden out of town on a rail. Witchcraft has not only been popularized, but it is also glorified as adults and children alike have become spiritually addicted to Harry Potter. In Britain, Prince Charles says that he starts his day by listening to a Harry Potter audio book. The prince said, "The tapes sat by my bed for ages, but as soon as I played them, I was hooked." (22) England is regarded as the "holy land" by witches, and it is interesting to note that at the time of the summer solstice this year, 10,000 witches came to Stonehenge to worship their deities. (23) What truly amazes me is the insatiable appetite of people for witchcraft. On June 19th, the American Library Association ended its convention in San Francisco and released the following statistic that of all global book sales, Harry Potter books accounted for 11 percent of all book sales world-wide. (24) What an astounding figure! The world is more than tithing to witchcraft by buying these books. The minds and hearts of the world are being taken in an occult snare. It is all in preparation for the appearing of the son of perdition. Thank God, there is a remnant who can still see! Approaching Wrath And Fearful Sights! We know that without a doubt, the hand of the Almighty is against any nation that wallows in the depths of filth and sin. When the government and its courts allow for and sanction the killing of babies, when people immerse themselves in pornography and are entertained by violence and bloodshed, when people drink and drug themselves into mental oblivion, we can be sure that judgement from the righteous eternal one cannot be far off! Strange things are already happening. When Bill Clinton was President, his home state of Arkansas was hit by one plague after another. Now, it is Texas, the home state of President George W. Bush. The Rio Grande River was described by explorers as a river so wide that a musketball could not be fired across it. It once formed a prohibitive border between much of Texas and Mexico. Today, the mighty river is nothing more than a small stream, and countless thousands of Mexicans are simply walking across it. The river, which was once a swollen torrent of water, now peters out about 125 miles short of the Gulf of Mexico. (25) In the Houston area, tropical storm Allison left 17 people dead and did a whopping one billion dollars in damage. (26) 15,000 homes and businesses were damaged as 3 feet of rain fell in a short time. Power was knocked out and destruction was wide-scale. This is the flagship city of our current President. On June 10th, scientists were stunned as they received satellite images from outer space revealing a huge bulge under the forests of central Oregon, known as the Cascadia region. This huge bulge reveals the first stages of a major volcanic eruption that is brewing deep below the earth's surface. (27) This activity could cause earthquakes and volcanic eruptions along the entire west coast. In Utah, there is a major plague of grasshoppers known as Mormon crickets. Millions of them have descended on Utah as a seething, buzzing, black mass eating everything in sight. (28) Governor Mike Leavitt has declared a state of agricultural emergency as crops in 18 counties have been totally destroyed. On June 19, 2001, the London Times issued a report, which starts out as follows: "Plagues of locusts are devastating crops from Central Asia to the American Midwest, sending farmers to the book of Exodus for salvation. Not since the Egyptians incurred the wrath of God have so many locusts had their day." The story goes on to tell of more than a billion locusts on the move. The locusts are moving far beyond their normal location into Eurasia and China. They were moving in a 170,000-acre swath of farmland, eating everything and quickly destroying 30,000 acres of wheat. The locusts can move 30 miles per day. (29) In addition to the locusts, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has warned of drought conditions expanding into the U.S. plains and Midwest. Very hot and dry weather with little rain is the predicted weather pattern for this summer. (30) Just after writing the July issue of the Last Trumpet, seismic activity began to develop in various parts of the world. On June 23, fountains of lava began to hurl out of a volcano in the Philippines, sending flaming rocks and gases 160 feet into the air. (31) The very next day, a major earthquake shook Peru and registered 7.9 on the Richter scale. Villages were flattened, and two massive aftershocks sent people running into the streets. (32) Only a few days later, Mount Aetna in Sicily spewed out lava, rocks, and hot gases for days, as a major eruption took place. (33) Clearly, the earth is beginning to react to the sin and evil of its inhabitants. When the full wrath of God is unleashed, there will be no more time to repent. It is my prayer that people will wake up to the reality of God's wrath to come and repent. The Lord will keep us in his hand of safety and blessing. In closing, I want to remind every reader that you are welcome to join us in prayer every Saturday night beginning at 6:00 P.M. Central Time. We are praying diligently over every request individually, and we are receiving praise reports of answered prayer. This is a ministry that cares, and we take prayer seriously. I also want to thank all of you who support this ministry and help us in so many ways. All is appreciated. God bless you for remembering us. Grace and peace be multiplied unto you in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Pastor D. Meyer Acknowledgements 01. The Staten Island Advance, July 9, 01, by Dafna Linzer, A.P., New York, NY. 02.

Dec. 14 2006 12:05 PM ET Quoting: GhostHunterCTV.ca News South Korea's Ban Ki-moon was formally sworn-in Thursday as the new secretary general of the United Nations in a ceremony before the General Assembly. General Assembly president Sheikha Haya Rashed Al Khalifa administered the oath of office. "I solemnly swear to exercise in all loyalty, discretion and conscience the functions entrusted to me as secretary general of the United Nations," he said during the ceremony. He went on to pledge to regulate his conduct with only the interests of the UN in view, and to not accept instructions in relation to his duties from any government or authority outside the organization. The 62-year-old Ban, who will not officially start his job until Jan. 1, is the eighth secretary general of the 192-nation world body. He is taking over at a time when the body struggles to deal with internal reforms, ongoing conflicts in the Middle East and the nuclear ambitions of North Korea and Iran. Ban is a career diplomat having most recently served as the former foreign minister of South Korea. He was unanimously elected by the General Assembly to succeed Kofi Annan in October. In a farewell speech to the UN, Annan thanked the member nations for their support, saying they made the difference between an "impossible job and an exhilarating one." "I depart convinced that today's UN does more than ever before. It does it better than ever before. Yet our work is far from complete, indeed it will never be." "It falls to my successor to carry forward the United Nations' venerable mission." Annan said the members had chosen well, and the organization is in safe hands with Ban. "I can safely tell you your most rewarding years lie just ahead. I wish you both the strength and courage to make the most of them," he said to Ban. Traditionally, the position of secretary general rotates between regions, and Ban becomes the first Asian to lead the world body in 35 years. Earlier, after being named to his new position, Ban said his tenure "will be marked by ceaseless efforts to build bridges and close divides." He also promised major reforms to the UN that will help the body meet its current challenges. "The true measure of success for the UN is not how much we promise, but how much we deliver for those who need us most," said Ban. Annan will also be honoured today with a draft resolution that will pay "warm tribute" to his "exceptional contribution to international peace and security." The draft will recognize Annan's "outstanding efforts to strengthen the United Nations system and to promote and protect human rights and fundamental freedoms for all, in the interest of a better world." It will also laud his "many bold initiatives" to reach UN goals including: Cutting extreme poverty in half Working towards universal primary education by 2015 Promoting peace and security Environmental protections and UN reform Annan has been on a farewell tour delivering a series of speeches in the past few weeks on human rights and the Mideast peace process. He also criticized the Bush administration's leadership on the global stage that, at times, has led the U.S. to "abandon its own ideals and objectives." Prime Minister Stephen Harper issued a statement on Thursday congratulating Annan for his stewardship of the UN and saying Canada looked forward to working with Ban. "The retirement of Kofi Annan as secretary general of the United Nations marks the end of an era," Harper said. "He led the organization for 10 years, during a period of extraordinary international conflict and upheaval as the world adapted to the new realities of the post-Cold War geo-political environment." On Annan's watch, the UN took on peacemaking as well as peacekeeping as part of its function to protect the innocent and preserve global security, Harper said. "Mr. Annan's new approach was exemplified by the UN's mandate for action in Afghanistan, which brought NATO and Canada into the international mission to rescue that brutalized country from the tyranny of the Taliban," the prime minister said. "In coming to the aid of the long-suffering Afghan people, Mr. Annan and the UN were upholding the values that Canadians and all civilized people hold dear: Freedom, democracy, human rights and the rule of law."

I just re-read the article and I believe I may have misread it. There are several articles that state that his campaign to become the UN sec General was funded and backed by Rev. Moon however. I will keep looking for the other article that claimed he was the son of Rev Moon. I read it some time ago and the link is dead now. For now, I cannot support that argument and apologize. Another article says that Sum-Yung-Moon financed and campaigned for Ban-ki. [link to angelqueen.org] My bad on the read. Need more coffee.

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 4776 12/14/2006 01:23 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This is really bad - especially when you consider Moon's Washington connections: Rev. Moon, North Korea & the Bushes By Robert Parry The Rev. Sun Myung Moon's business empire, which includes the conservative Washington Times, paid millions of dollars to North Korea's communist leaders in the early 1990s when the hard-line government needed foreign currency to finance its weapons programs, according to U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency documents. The payments included a $3 million “birthday present” to current communist leader Kim Jong Il and offshore payments amounting to “several tens of million dollars” to the previous communist dictator, Kim Il Sung, the partially declassified documents said. Moon apparently was seeking a business foothold in North Korea. But the transactions also raise legal questions for Moon and could cast a shadow on George W. Bush’s presidential campaign, given the Bush family’s longstanding financial and political ties to Moon and his organization. Besides making alleged payments to North Korea’s communist leaders, the 80-year-old founder of the South Korean-based Unification Church has funneled large sums of money, possibly millions of dollars as well, to former President George H.W. Bush. One well-placed former leader of Moon’s Unification Church told me that the total earmarked for former President Bush was $10 million. The father of the Republican nominee has declined to say how much Moon’s organization actually paid him for speeches and other services in Asia, the United States and South America. At one Moon-sponsored speech in Argentina in 1996, Bush declared, “I want to salute Reverend Moon,” whom Bush praised as “the man with the vision.” Bush made these speeches at a time when Moon was expressing intensely anti-American views. In his own speeches, Moon termed the United States “Satan’s harvest” and claimed that American women descended from a “line of prostitutes.” [link to www.consortiumnews.com] Moon Over Washington Why are some of the capital’s most influential power players hanging out with a bizarre Korean billionaire who claims to be the Messiah? by John Gorenfeld, Contributor 6.09.04 Should Americans be concerned that on March 23rd a bipartisan group of Congressmen attended a coronation at which a billionaire, pro-theocracy newspaper owner was declared to be the Messiah – with royal robes, a crown, the works? Or that this imperial ceremony took place not in a makeshift basement church or a backwoods campsite, but in a Senate office building? The Washington Post didn't think so. For a moment on April 4, a quote from the keynote speech was in the Web version of its "Reliable Sources" column. The speaker: Sun Myung Moon, 84, an ex-convict whose political activities were at the center of the 1976-8 Koreagate influence-peddling probe. That's when an investigation by Congress warned that Moon, after having befriended Richard Nixon in his darkest hour, was surrounding himself with other politicians to overcome his reputation: as the leader of the cult-like Unification Church, which recruited unwary college students, filled Madison Square Garden with couples in white robes, wed them in bulk and demanded obedience.

Mukyo¯kai The Mukyo¯kai (???, Mukyo¯kai?), or No-Church Movement (or sometimes refered to as "Nonchurch Movement"), is a Japanese indigenous movement of Christianity that rejects all Western formal religious institutions and church structures, focusing on Bible study in small groups. It was founded by Uchimura Kanzo¯ (1861-1930) in response to Western denominationalism, and today the number of adherents is believed to be around 35,000 in Japan, Taiwan, and Korea. As the name of the movement implies, adherents of No-Church Christianity worship and engage in Bible study outside of conventional churches. They hold to no liturgy, sacraments, or ordained clergy. While most of the teachers have no formal theological training, some have extensive background in theology and biblical studies and hold academic positions in universities and theological schools. Bible study is performed in small, independent groups led by individual teachers, or "sensei," and the group often meet on a weekly basis. Each group is normally called "shukai"(Meeting) or "seisho shukai"(Bible Meeting). While many of sensei hold regular jobs outside of their role as a Bible teacher, a few are called into a full-time ministry as "dokuritsu dendosha"(an independent evangelist). When the teacher dies or retires, the study group normally dissolves, and often new groups branch out from the old group. With its emphases on Bible studies and social criticism and its general intellectual tendencies among the adherents, the Mukyokai Movement produced a number of prominent figures in scholarship. Among them are: Tsukamoto Toraji (biblical scholar), Yanaihara Tadao (economist and president of the University of Tokyo), Nanbara Shigeru (political scientist and also U of Tokyo president), Oga Ichiro (botanist), Sekine Masao (Hebrew scholar and Member of the Japan Academy), Nakazawa Koki (biblical scholar), and Takahashi Saburo (theologian and independent evangelist). In Japan, the Mukyo¯kai members are perhaps best known for speaking out against social injustices. They were one of the strongest groups against Japanese nationalism and militarism in the 1930s and '40s, and remains today a strong force for pacifism. In the USA this was mentioned in relation to human rights activist Gordon Hirabayashi, himself a Quaker, coming from a Mukyo¯kai family, immigrated to the United States. [link to en.wikipedia.org] |

| kalamity kool User ID: 167857 12/14/2006 11:32 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Interesting indeed. I wonder what effect it will have on the internet? There is considerable pressure for the U.S. to let go of their control of most of the root servers (which hold the .com / .org / etc. domains). Korea has greater broadband penetration, and faster delivery than the U.S. (which is only 13th.) and I'd suppose it wants control of a root server, as do a lot of other countries. So far the U.S. has resisted calls within the U.N to hand some over, and the other countries are threatening to set-up their own. That would mean a different internet in different countries. |
