Moon's Power Is At Its Height
Since the decline of the American Unification Church (despite a growth spurt in the 1970's), the Moonies and their founder, Sun Myung Moon have not gotten a lot of attention (except when Moon was thrown in the slammer for tax evasion in the 1980's). Moon's media empire--subsidized to the tune of over 100 million dollars a year--has tremendous influence. Even though few people read Moon's "newspaper" The Washington Times, stories from the Times are cited on talk radio, misinforming millions. During Iran-Contra, the Times was a de facto part of the cover-up. Now, with Enron, the Times--to no surprise--has been part of the Bush diffusion strategy. For instance, the Times repeated the falsehood that Ken Lay slept in the Lincoln Bedroom during the Clinton presidency. Today's Times has a story attempting to further link the Clinton administration to Enron (click here)
