When A Wealthy Messiah Creates A Political Movement With Organized Crime Money!

In this video, we learn about Reverend Sun Myung Moon, a wealthy religious figure who established a political movement with organized crime money. Moon had a substantial business empire for his church with a portfolio that includes The Washington Times, a hotel in New York, and businesses in both North and South Korea. While Moon's followers worked for him without question, some Americans were suspicious of his political activities and questioned if they were in the interest of America. His contacts were seen as far to the right, and some of them had organized crime links. Moon was even sent to prison for 13 months on charges of conspiracy and filing false tax returns.
00:05:00 In this section, it is revealed that the Moon organization had violated various US laws, including tax and foreign agents registration acts, and had been paid by the Korean CIA to run propaganda efforts. Michael Hirschman, the Fraser Committee's Chief investigator, concluded that the organization's primary interest in the US was political rather than religious. The Fraser committee recommended that a task force be created to continue investigating these political activities, but it never happened. Instead, Moon became a major funder of Washington's new conservative establishment, and his Washington Times newspaper was often breaching editorial independence. However, the worst treatment America could give him would be to ignore him, as he vowed to preach the truth.
