During the primaries, I did some initial footwork on a story concerning the relationship between the notorious Reverend Moon and the Chicago "combine" -- the gang of corrupt Illinois politicians that includes RodBlagojevich and (in the view of journalist Evelyn Pringle) Barack Obama.It is well-known that Moon is a big player in Chicago. It is well-known that Louis Farrakhan (who spoke at Obama's church, and who supported Obama in all sorts of characteristically obnoxious ways) used Moon money to engineer the million-man march. And it is well-known that a congressman from Illinois, Danny Davis, crowned Moon as Messiah in the Dirksen Senate Office Building.
The American Clergy Leadership Conference (ACLC) -- a Moon front group -- had surprising success in convincing black religious leaders in Illinois to participate in "take down the cross day." Although the ACLC has worked its magic elsewhere, Chicago has always been the epicenter of its efforts: See here and here.
I received word from a source that Obama had been involved with the ACLC, via his former pastor. Alas, the promised evidence never came, so I let the matter drop. Moon's Washington Times and Insight magazine had been instrumental in spreading the "madrassa" smear, a fact not easily squared with any theory of an Obama/Moon linkage.
But now, as the song says, I'm reviewing... the situation...
This page, from what appears to be a Moon website, contains a passage that may make you choke on your Cheerios:Rev. Yang came on the second last day and explained about Father’s life, concluding with some exciting new information. The newly elected United States’ president, Barack Obama, has been attending ACLC conferences and has apparently met with Father on several occasions. Even just before the elections, he attended a prayer breakfast. His wife is involved with our movement as well. This is a new revolution, now that Obama has become president; Father wants to eradicate all barriers between races.I don't understand the import of that date in Moon's eschatology (is it something new?), and I don't much care. But the reference to Obama is of great significance.
This is the dawning of a new age! We are now in the last battle and we are asked not to fight with weapons but with the sword of God’s word. We can be victorious! The ideal world is just around the bend! True Parents are longing desperately for January 13th, 2013....
At least potentially.
Before you say it, I'll say it for you: Just because Moon says that he has an "in" with Obama does not make it so. On the other hand, do not dismiss the idea out of hand. Money maketh for strange bedfellows.
Who would have predicted the alliance between Moon and the Bush family? Few people know it, but Dubya officially endorsed "Take down the cross day" -- and for some reason, his Democratic opponents never seized on that discomforting fact. In light of that history, is the claimed Obama/Moon linkage really so unbelievable?
This site, run by a professor named Warren Throckmorton (previously unknown to me), directed my attention to the Obama/Moon passage quoted above. The author adds:
According to well placed Unificationists, Barack Obama has cultivated ties with Moon and his followers since before he was a Senator. Moon’s daughter and newly appointed leader of the Family Federation in the US, was an Obama supporter and attended an Obama fundraiser at the Moon-controlled Manhattan Center in New York City.I don't know who these "well placed Unificationists" are, and thus cannot gauge the accuracy of this information.
Throckmorton has dug up another quote from an online Moonie publication. The passage alleges that the ACLC had established strong ties to America's most beloved pastor, Jeremiah Wright. (I had heard a very similar allegation in 2008 but was unable to find proof.) More than that...
Last summer ACLC had its prayer breakfast back in the Bishop’s church and the wife of soon to be U.S. Senator Barak (sic) Obama came. Slowly through consistent experience that the Holy Spirit was with this movement his heart changed. We have seen this with so many of our ACLC clergy.The reference to "the Bishop" concerns a rather long story that has nothing to do with Obama; you can read it on Throckmorton's site.
I'm not saying that the Moon/Obama link has been established with all the rigor of a geometrical proof. I am asking you to watch this story.

Now thats what I call reporting! Sort of...
Danny Davis is a congressman, not a senator--he's my congressman, in fact (IL-2).
And he did, sadly, crown Moon at a ceremony in the U.S. Capitol building.

Thanks. I have made the correction.
Good Article Joseph.
Hey doesn't Burgering give away hats like that? I've seen them laying on children's highchairs at BurgerKing.

As per the family I was in for more than 26 years, everyone is going to be very surprised to learn in detail the REAL connections with Moom and Obama! Now don't limit your thoughts only to God as I mentioned in other posts that God has been known to be helping in ways including huge drug shipments too. This is only the beginning!

A Korean friend of mine went to high school with the kids of the administrators of the church (many of them, including Moon, send their children to this particular elite arts school). Interestingly, according to her, none of these people (in Korea) are actually religious (i.e. no-one there actually believes in it). To them, it’s basically just a business with a great revenue stream.
This is a message for Marty Didier. For more than a year, you have been teasing us with messages starting with "26 years in the family..." (you should update this number) and ending with "more to come...".
I've used google to find your comments over the years on other blogs / news sites and copied them into one big word document. I could resume what you have said in 1 page maximum so far. Otherwise, you mostly repeat the same stuff.
When will you give away the real stuff and stop teasing us ? If there's one blog where people have a mind open enough to take it, it's here.
who cares if it's not religious? Every last sucker who takes up for Moon ought to be locked up in public stocks with a huge supply of rotten eggs and dog excrement at hand.
Yeah, there were a truckload of Dems, mostly AA, who participated in that throwing out the cross for the CROWN bullshit.
I know Moon is connected with the Bush's...now I find out he's in with Barry too? Great.
We are very close to discovering that from a certain level up, everything is a criminal concern

Unfortunately, counsel has instructed me not to release specific detail at this time. Which probably means just about everything since most all of it is interrelated. But if you've been following my posts please accept that my story has been in the news since before 2003 and it's in the news a lot lately. I'll suggest that many of my posts have possibly been scrubbed and/or blocked from public view. This follows years of having computers burned up and computer devices destroyed and/or crippled where I have to use the public library computers and the extreme harassment and attacks still haven't stopped. So collecting them may only leave you with what others want you to have as I do at times post juicy detail.
I would like to add that if you follow Clyde O'Connor's story and how it relates to the huge Internatilnal drug system and involving the Standford story and >100 plane fleet of drug planes, this should surface more. But keep in mind that the huge drug system is interrelated with many other scandals, some which are currrently in the news. Most people don't realize that what we're seeing is actually one huge criminal system because they are interconnected through communication. The separate investigations seem necessary to allow for focus and when reading about them in the news we tend to think it's just another criminal situation but in many respects it isn't that way. They do share information gathering activities and often work together. Everyone will be surprised to learn this later.
For me there is a horrible emotional drama being played out that my family and my self deal with endlessly. There are heartbreaks when children are involved in crime and in this case, my youngest son is involved with Rezko. The rest of my ex-wife's family are sitting ducks waiting for that famous door bell ring at 4am which appears to be up ahead. I feel my son's motivation to get involved follows the greedy interest of other family members who felt they would help him along to make it rich. Certainly he may be watching the news today and worrys about how valuable it was to get involved. But he also has a chance to get out and save himself but for what ever reason he hasn't made the effort.
Sorry if you've felt teased but this is the extent of what I've been able to talk about up to now. I do truly feel though that eventually you will learn most of my story but unfortuantely I don't know exactly when. You can bet on one thing though, I'll be thoroughly pleased when I can talk about it! Living like this for my family and I has been at times a very scary nightmare.

Moon & Politicians (past and present)?
Joe, I sent a link with quotes to a buddy of mine with exposure to Chicago as well as national politics and here is the reply I received:
When Obama was getting his angles set up to become a big-time political star, he was jumping into bed with anything and anyone in Chicago politics. He was especially interested in any person or organization that would establish his cred as a “Christian.” He, like a number of other fools who don’t do their research, fell for one of Moon’s religious fronts. A whole lot of politicians, much to their later chagrin, did the same thing by letting themselves be seen, photographed, or “honored” as some Moonie front that did not look at all like a Moonie front. (Hence, McCain’s unfortunate appearance as a speaker at what turned out to be a Moonie organization.)
Obama now has a little monkey on his back in the form of some legitimate references to his “ties” to Moon. Obama knows now that he got suckered, and he now knows that this is one of Moon’s favorite tricks: getting links to famous and powerful people. In the old days, Moon used really ugly, brute force, dirty methods to link politicians and high military to himself, but times have changed, and it’s a lot harder to get a decent choir of little Korean girls together these days.
I suspect Peter has this about right. Throckmorton has errors in his piece which is obviously written to feed into the right's conditioning of "Obama thinks he is the messiah" meme.
Throck says he is "cultivating" ties with Moon organizations - as in plural. He names two, one is the ACLC and the other is "True Family Values". TFV is a ministry or method that is deployed by Moon's people in Chicago and now elsewhere. It is the bundle of cons, techniques they use to gig souls - mostly black ministers - not an organization.
He also says Moon is retiring to Hawaii. Hawaii is part of the Pacific Rim providence. But Moon will never retire and anyone who knows anything about him knows he is centered in "God's sovereign nation," which is of course, Korea. He is building a resort there now which will be another vacation villa. He has mansions all around the world and as long as he breaths he will not retire. I think the resort is in Yeosu. He is also building his Vatican like church center in Seoul. They brag that they will get a lot of politicians coming if they build a fancy church. He already has the temple in Chung Pyung in which they claim Moon, with God at his side, will commune back and forth from the spirit world to earth and run the providence.
Just because Moon puts "Garden" by something does not make it an end all or "Eden." He has East Garden in Irvington NY, North Garden in Kodiak Alaska , South Garden is both Alabama and South America.
Throck also says Moon's daughter supported Obama. His "proof" is that she attended a fundraiser at Moon's Manhattan center. Well, she attended for two reasons. One is that she RUNS the MC. Second she tells about how she got a friend of hers in show business who was in charge of putting on the fundraiser to hold it at the MC as a "favor" to her.
There are other errors in his post but the biggest is omission.
Throck tries to say Obama is trying to push Moon's mission, well what does he think the entire conservative movement has been doing for 30 years? If you look at the new right and Moon's ideology you will see they are in many ways mirror images and that is no surprise.
He doesn't mention that the Bush family has been promoting Moon's "messianic" mission for years, as you know.
Funny how every report of the crowning mentions Davis who quit attending Moon functions 4 years ago and never mention that Sen. John Warner(R) rented them the room and Roscoe Bartlett(R) carried Ms. Moon's robes. I suspect that is what they wanted out of all that and they got it.
I also do not doubt any ties between Moon and Obama for as has been said, Moon has been working, and I mean working, the Chicago area for decades. That's where they sharpen their techniques. Where they learn how to say the right things to make people fall for the con. Things like "you know moon is persecuted like Jesus" and stuff likely that. Moon's son, Hyun Jin, said a couple years ago(para) that Moon was the reason the USA respects MLK as a good man.
A Moon front, Service for Peace, receives government funding to put on MLK events. They of course use it to dig their claws deeper into the black community with government creds.
