The `No-Soul' Gang
Behind Reverend Moon's
Gnostic Sex Cult

(Excerpts)
It is just that unwillingness to think evil, ... that may presently
erase the British from the scroll of living significant peoples.
H.G. Wells, Experiments in Autobiography
Back in the 1970s, when the Reverend Sun Myung Moon's Gnostic Sex-Cult
Freak Show was in its mass recruiting phase, the "Moonies" were the
American parent's worst nightmare. Moon was the zombie-maker, the
body-snatcher, who came in the nightor when the children were away at
college, and stole their souls away. There was much basis in fact for
this fear, as anyone who had ever looked into the vacant eyes or
attempted to converse with the vacated mind of a "Moonie" will recall.
Today, this lunatic leader of a mass cult is the titular head of a
multitrillion-dollar, worldwide apparatus of government
influence-peddling and control that knows no equal. Moon literally
owns whole countries in South America and Asia. His apparatus is
rapidly buying up the U.S. Congress, the Presidency, and all potential
opposition forces of left, right, and center. Moon's stock-in-trade is
cash and sexlots of it. The cash comes from the worldwide drug- and
gun-running operations, part of which came to the surface in the
Iran-Contra scandal: cocaine from the South American trade run under
cover of the Moon-linked CAUSA group; heroin from Afghanistan and the
Far East, laundered through dirty-money operations of the Moon cult
that overlapped Ollie North's extracurricular activities while at the
National Security Council.
The sex is a specialty of Moon's own Gnostic "family" cult. Remember
the Congressional Madam scandals of the 1970s, featuring Tong Sun Park
and Suzy Park Thomson? That was just the tip of the iceberg of "The
Reverend" Moon's sexual-favors operation. Military intelligence
officers who investigated Unification Church operations in Washington
in the 1970s and '80s, report that the recruitment device used on
ranking, conservative political and military officials was to hold
weekly orgies, arranged by Col. Bo Hi Pak, the Unification Church
official who was a top officer of the Korean Central Intelligence
Agency (KCIA). The special treat at these affairs were the "Little
Angels"Korean schoolgirls brought over by Moon as a singing group.
The photo files from these sessions are reported to be a powerful
influence in certain circles to this very day.
But they didn't stop at Congressmen and high-ranking military. Moon
now owns the religious right from Jerry Falwell to Gary Bauer, and has
bought up most of the independent black ministers, the former base of
the civil rights movement, to boot. Moon uses his ample supplies of
money, gold-plated watches minted in his own factories, and his
private stock of "Asian brides" for the most corrupt. Moon also owns a
substantial chunk of the business operations of Louis Farrakhan's
Nation of Islam. Farrakhan has been appearing regularly at
Moon-sponsored events since 1996, in one case on the same podium with
former Attorney General Richard Thornburgh, and former Vice President
Dan Quayle. After the events of ***@nd11, Moon focused his sights on the
traditional Muslim religious community, and is making inroads into
mosques across America.
Moon also runs the central control points of world academic opinion.
Through his International Conferences for the Unity of Science and
Federation of World Professors, Moon pays six-digit honoraria to
leading scientists, with emphasis on using their reputations to
promote population control, artificial intelligence, and world
federalism. Moon owns the second major daily in the national capital
of the world's greatest power, the Washington Times, and the second
largest wire service, United Press International. He controls
industries around the world, ranging from food production and
distribution to arms manufacture, including the original producers of
the Thompson sub-machine gun.
Sen. Joseph Lieberman (D-Conn.) recently received the 2002
"Truman-Reagan Freedom Award" from the Moonie front group, the Victims
of Communism Memorial Foundation. In 2000, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.)
presided over the award presentation. The president of this
Foundation, Lee Edwards, is the editor of the Sun Myung Moon magazine,
The World and I. Its public liaison officer is society editor of
Moon's Washington Times. Included on the National Advisory Council of
this Moonie front are: former National Security Adviser Zbigniew
Brzezinski; former Senators Robert Dole, Dennis DeConcini, and
Claiborne Pell; former UN Ambassador and now head of the American
Enterprise Institute Jeane Kirkpatrick; the head of the Heritage
Foundation; and many more officials of "respectable" organizations and
talking heads you see on television every day.
So Who, or What Is Moon?
So who really is the Rev. Sun Myung Moon, and what is behind him? The
answer is not what you think. The Moon operation is not a simple case
of penetration by a foreign intelligence agency. He is neither a
right-wing conspiracy, nor a Communist plot, nor a creation of Jewish
bankers. Nor is he the special property of some all-powerful secret
society, as dreamed of by some populist-minded conspirophile.
To understand what makes the Moon clock tick, is to know the real
history of the 20th Century, not the fairytale version set forth in
schoolbooks and newsstand gossip sheets. We shall show you in this
article that the Moon cult is the spinoff of two British intelligence
operations of the 1920s and 1930s, in which the figures of Bertrand
Russell and H.G. Wells play the prominent role. We shall begin by
briefly summarizing these two operations. Then, to make sense of them,
we shall go back in history to the beginning of the past century, and
even a bit earlier, to discover the motives and means by which these
things could be carried out. It is a shocking story, but a coherent
one. Stay focused, and you can grasp it.
The two operations of Wells and Russell from which Moon sprung are
these:
The Moral Re-Armament Movement, founded at a 1921 meeting between a
wacky Lutheran preacher from Philadelphia and two British delegates to
the Washington Disarmament Conference, Lord Arthur Balfour and H.G.
Wells. Moral Re-Armament became the mass organizational vehicle for
implementation of Wells' 1928 call in The Open Conspiracy, for a
worldwide movement for draft resistance. The environment of Moon's
Korean ministry was under control of Moral Re-Armament when he was
picked up as an intelligence asset during the Korean War.
The Unity of the Sciences movement. Founded in 1935 under the
supervision of Lord Bertrand Russell and John Dewey, it brought
together Trotskyite academics Albert Wohlstetter (mentor of current
Defense Policy Board Chairman Richard Perle), Sidney Hook, and Ernest
Nagel, with members of the radical-positivist Vienna Circle. Merging
with Robert M. Hutchins at the University of Chicago in the 1950s,
this operation took over the teaching of science in the United States.
Thomas Kuhn's widely read fraud, The Structure of Scientific
Revolutions, was published as the second volume of their Encyclopedia
of Unified Sciences. In 1972, the Moonies were given the Unity of
Sciences franchise, sponsoring the first of their still-ongoing
International Conferences of the Unity of Sciences. Their early
sessions featured such notables as Manhattan Project physicist Eugene
Wigner, the lifelong ally of that truly mad scientist Leo Szilard (the
model for Dr. Strangelove, in Stanley Kubrick's film of that name),
and environmental fascists Alexander King and Aurelio Peccei, founders
of the no-growth Club of Rome.
Before looking back to the history of these projects, let us first
briefly dispense with the person of Rev. Sun Myung Moon. Moon as a
personality is of very little importance, in himself. The real
Reverend Moon is a pathetic, if nonetheless nasty, victim of Japanese
internment and North Korean torture sessions. He is what the
professional mindbenders who operate under military intelligence cover
call a synthetic personality, just the right sort of material for
running a cult operation. Born in 1920, Moon had received some
training as an engineer when he was first imprisoned by the Japanese
during their extended occupation of Korea. Early in the Korean War,
Moon was taken prisoner in the North and subjected to the hideous
physical and mental torture that became well known to Americans of the
time. Moon describes his so-called religious conversion while in North
Korean imprisonment as "my brainwashing."
A sample or two of Moon's "philosophy" tells it all. Here is the
Reverend Moon on the subject of the meaning of life:
The purpose of Life, into which we all are born, for a man is woman,
and for a woman is man. Man and woman are born to live for each other.
The harmony of their body shapes, and of their organs of love are
simply made so.
If you truly understand this fact, you have mastered more truth and
more precious wisdom than an entire encyclopedia. God, the Great King
of wisdom, has placed our organs of love in each other's custody. Thus
the true master of the organ of love which a man or woman possesses is
not that person at all, but is their loving spouse....
He made these comments before the 15th conference of the International
Conference on the Unity of Sciences in 1986. Moon has something of an
obsession with sex and the sexual organs. A former Moonie and leader
of one of Moon's pro-Vietnam War front groups, recalled this anecdote:
I remember a day at Belvedere [the Moonies' Tarrytown, New York
training camp] in May of 1973 during a leadership conference. Moon had
just finished a short speech, and he then asked for general questions.
I rose to my feet to address him. I said, "as a One World Crusade
Commander, I frequently encounter the problem of homosexuality among
our men." I asked him if there was anything we could do to help these
people.
He replied: "Tell them that if it really becomes a problem to cut it
off, barbecue it, put it in a shoe box, and send it to me." The
audience roared with laughter.[1]
Or another sample of the profound depths of Moon's thought:
When you defecate, do you use a mask? This is no laughing matter, this
is serious. When you were kids, did you ever taste the cooties from
your nose? ... Why didn't you feel they were dirty? Because that's a
part of your body. The Reverend Moon has discovered something that no
one else had thought about.[2]
1. It All Began at Appomattox
If the lunatic Moon is not the maker of his own madhouse, who is? The
best way to answer that question is to take a closer look at the
designers of the operation that produced Moon, and the forces which
shaped them.
Introducing: Russell and Wells
Most literate people know Herbert George (H.G.) Wells as a writer of
science-fiction stories. Bertrand Russell, his chief partner in evil,
is best known as a philosopher, mathematician, human rights activist,
and pacifistthis, despite his repeated calls for a pre-emptive
nuclear strike against the Soviet Union, and his often-expressed
desire that the spread of epidemic disease might reduce the world's
population every generation or so. Yet even with such correction (the
truth of which the present-day Russell acolyte, Noam Chomsky, was
forced to concede at a recent public appearance at Rice University in
Houston), one does not arrive at a true picture of these men, or their
role in the world.[3]
Russell and Wells, who orchestrated so much of the evil of the 20th
Century, were by birth and upbringing, men of the 19th Century, grown
to manhood under the British Empire at the peak of its power, nursed
on the tales of Kipling and the notion of the inborn superiority of
the Anglo-Saxon race. Yet, they were clever enough to foresee its
demise, and early on set themselves to the task of shaping a new world
empire, more fearful and more evilly conceived than the openly
declared global tyranny which was Victorian England. In his
Experiments in Autobiography, Wells wrote of his own childhood:
In those days I had ideas about Aryans extraordinarily like Mr.
Hitler's. The more I hear of him the more I am convinced that his mind
is almost the twin of my thirteen-year-old mind in 1879; but heard
through a megaphoneandimplemented. I do not know from what books I
caught my first glimpse of the Great Aryan People going to and fro in
the middle plains of Europe, spreading east, west, north, and south
... whose ultimate triumphs everywhere squared accounts with the Jews
... I have met men in responsible positions, L.S. Amery, for example,
Winston Churchill, George Trevelyan, C.F.G. Masterman, whose
imaginations were manifestly built upon a similar framework and who
remained puerile in their political outlook because of its
persistence.
(Wells only fails to note that the similarity of Hitler's outlook to
the British one arises because Hitler was, like Moon, a synthetic
personality and product of British-intelligence occult bureau and
psywar penetration operations run into Germany at the beginning of the
century.)
The Russells were an English noble family that came to prominence in
the reign of Henry VIII, with the rise of John Russell, First Earl of
Bedford. The Earl Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) of whom we speak, was
the grandson of Lord John Russell (1792-1878), twice prime minister
during the reign of Queen Victoria. Grandfather Russell, who raised
young Bertrand, was an intimate of British spymaster and longtime head
of the Foreign Office, Lord Palmerston. Palmerston managed a veritable
zoo of agents of all stripes, particularly of the radical anarchist,
and communist varietyMazzini, Bakunin, and Karl Marx among them. A
specialty of the house was the technique that came to be known as
"Balkanization," the breaking up of a nation or opposing empire into
divided parts. China, India, and much of Africa were subjugated this
way, and Europe and Russia successfully held at bay.
But the great prize was the United States, the lost colony, whose
reconquest was a central concern of British policy from 1783 onward.
The Civil War was the last great effort to accomplish this goal by
force of arms. Palmerston's agents in the Confederacy included
Secretary of War Judah Benjamin and Teddy Roosevelt's uncle, James
Bulloch. who else. But Palmerston lived just long enough to see the
defeat of the Confederacy, Lee's surrender at Appomattox, and the
immediately following assassination of President Lincoln by one of his
disposable agents.
By the time that Palmerston died on Oct. 18, 1865, the world was
forever changed. The United States was now a land power, with the
greatest army on the face of the Earth, and an industrial base that
would shortly surpass England's own. If it was to be reconquered, it
would have to be by subversion and deceit. The question of how,
exactly, that might be accomplished, occupied the thought and
discussion of several generations of the British elite.
Agnostics and Gnostics
Bertrand Russell came to his position by birth. Herbert George Wells
(1866-1946), who played Sancho Panza to Russell's Don Quixote, was a
commoner, the son of a gardener and a house servant. Wells first
gained access to the upper classes through the encouragement of Thomas
Huxley, a biologist and prominent figure in the British intellectual
elite. In 1884, the 18-year-old Wells received a scholarship from the
London Department of Education to study at the Normal School of
Science in South Kensington. His chosen field was biology; his teacher
Thomas Huxley. Here was Huxley's view of the science of biology, as
described in an 1889 essay, "The Nineteenth Century":
I know of no study which is utterly saddening as that of the evolution
of humanity. Man emerges with the marks of his lowly origin strong
upon him. He is a brute, only more intelligent than the other brutes,
a blind prey to impulses, a victim to endless illusions, which makes
his mental existence a burden, and fills his life with barren toil and
battle.
Wells broke off his science education to pursue a writing career.
Through Huxley, Wells gained entree to his first publisher, Astor's
Pall Mall Gazette, and later to fellow Metaphysical Society member
Lord Arthur Balfour. Ten years after leaving college, Wells wrote of
Huxley, "I believed then he was the greatest man I was ever likely to
meet, and I believe that all the more firmly today."
The key to the evil worldview of both Russell and Wells is already
summarized in the philosophy of Huxley, an influential figure among
avant garde intellectuals at the height of the British Empire. He was
a leading member of the Metaphysical Society, which was founded in
1869 in an attempt to forge a more effective intellectual elite out of
the membership of the Oxford Essayists and Cambridge Apostles. At a
meeting of the society, Huxley coined the term agnosticism, an idea
that would play out later in the conceptions of Wells, Russell, and
the followers of the Reverend Moon. The atheist denied God exists. The
agnostic left that question open. Instead, he denied the ability of
man to actually know anything. Here in this conception, actually only
a re-working of a metaphysics common to Aristotle, Hume, and Kant, was
the "no-soul" doctrine which is at the heart of the Open Conspiracy.
Huxley outlined the tenets of his agnosticism before a meeting of the
British Association for the Advancement of Science in 1874:
No evidence can be found for supposing that any state of consciousness
is the cause of change in the motion of matter of the organism.... The
mind stands relegated to the body as the bell of the clock to the
works, and consciousness answers to the sound which the bell gives out
when it is struck.
We will find this same view enunciated later by Wells, Russell, and
the Ernst Mach-influenced Vienna Circle which gave rise to Russell's
Unity of the Sciences movement in the mid-1930s. But agnosticism, is
only Gnosticism in disguise, and in this form, as a reincarnation of
the ancient cult heresy, we shall find it at the heart of the
"theology" of the Rev. Sun Myung Moon.
The Coefficients
In his autobiographical account, written years later, Wells described
the dilemma facing Britain at the time he was attending the monthly
sessions of the elite Coefficients Club. The Coefficients was a cross
between a diners club and a modern think-tank, which met monthly over
dinners at London's St. Ermin's Hotel from 1902 to 1908.
Among the members of this unappetizing group was the powerful Lord
Robert Cecil, elder statesman of Britain's most powerful family, and
cousin to Arthur Balfour, then serving as Conservative Prime Minister.
Lord Alfred Milner, the High Commissioner of South Africa, was a
regular. A factional ally of Milner's in the serious debate that went
on at these affairs was Halford Mackinder, the newly appointed head of
the London School of Economics and originator of the doctrine of
geopolitics, who Hitler's ghostwriter for Mein Kampf, Maj.-Gen. Karl
Haushofer, acknowledged as his source. Another Milner ally was Leo
Amery, later intimate of Winston Churchill. The Earl Bertrand Russell
was there, sometimes making up a faction of one. The Viscount Edward
Grey, a hereditary peer who was to play a crucial role in shaping the
post World War I era, attended regularly. Sidney and Beatrice Webb,
Fabian socialists who would soon embrace Benito Mussolini, were
regulars. The Webbs, who were solidly middle-class academics, were
credited with having organized the group, most of whose members became
part of a later formation, known variously as the Round Table,
Milner's Kindergarten, and the Cliveden Set. The name Coefficients
might have been a play on Mrs. Webb's incessant references to
improving "efficiency" in government.
Here is how Wells recalled the situation facing the Coefficients at
the beginning of the 20th Century:
The undeniable contraction of the British outlook in the opening
decade of the new century is one that has exercised my mind very
greatly.... Gradually, the belief in the possible world leadership of
England had been deflated, by the economic development of America and
the militant boldness of Germany. The long reign of Queen Victoria, so
prosperous, progressive, and effortless, had produced habits of
political indolence and cheap assurance. As a people we had got out of
training, and when the challenge of these new rivals became open, it
took our breath away at once. We did not know how to meet it....
[O]ur ruling class, protected in its advantages by a universal
snobbery, was broad-minded, easy-going, and profoundly lazy.... Our
liberalism was no longer a larger enterprise, it had become a generous
indolence. But minds were waking up to this. Over our table at St.
Ermin's Hotel wrangled Maxse, Bellairs, Hewins, Amery, and Mackinder,
all stung by the small but humiliating tale of disasters in the South
Africa war, all sensitive to the threat of business recession, and all
profoundly alarmed by the naval and military aggressiveness of
Germany, arguing chiefly against the liberalism of Reeves and Russell
and myself, and pulling us down, whether we liked it or not, from
large generalities to concrete problems.[4]
There were genuine differences as to how the defeat of the "new
rivals" was to be accomplished, but no dispute as to the goal. The
majority opinion converged on war, to set the European powers at each
other's throats. The seeds of that war, pitting France against
Germany, Germany against Russia, and Russia against Japan, had already
been sown in the decade of the 1890s. Russell took issue with that
view, at least ostensibly. During World War I he played the part of
pacifist. Russell argued that England could achieve the same goals
without being drawn into a world war: It could be done by clever
intelligence techniquespsychological warfare and manipulation. Thus
began his career as a "pacifist."
2. The Uses of Peace
We move ahead now to November 1918. The terrible war is over, England
saved by the last-minute military intervention of the United States.
Much of Europe is in ruins. The total dead on all sides number 8.5
million. Casualties number 37 million (9 million Russians, 7 million
Germans, 7 million from Austro-Hungary, 6 million French, 3 million
from the British Empire, 2 million Italians). Famine and disease are
everywhere. Influenza, typhus, cholera, diphtheria, and other scourges
kill more people in the immediate post-war period than died in battle.
The seeds of Hitler have already been sown in the unpayable burden of
reparations imposed upon defeated Germany by the Treaty of Versailles.
The idea of peace makes sense to people. But how shall it be
accomplished? Even as he wrote anti-German hate propaganda for the War
Office, Wells had been working with a team of old cronies from the
Coefficients Club on a new version of an old scheme: Subjugate the
sovereignty of individual nations to a supra-national government, with
its own army, navy, and air force, possessing a monopoly on modern
weaponry. His first writing on the subject dates to 1916. In January
1919, as Chairman of the League of Free Nations Association, he
publishes his call for world peace, titled "The Idea of a League of
Nations."
The argument, as Wells describes it: Modern war is total war; the
economic and human cost has become so great, it is intolerable. So
long as the threat of war exists, nations must expend an increasing
portion of their wealth on the maintenance of armies, navies, and air
services, and on scientific research to keep even with the potential
enemy. Only outmoded thinking and prejudices, such as appeals to
national patriotism, cause people to oppose his plan. If they would
only think about it, they would see that the British Empire is already
partially a world government:
What is there in common between an Australian native, a London
freethinker, a Bengali villager, a Uganda gentleman, a Rand negro, an
Egyptian merchant, and a Singapore Chinaman, that they should all be
capable of living as they do under one rule and one peace, and with a
common collective policy, and yet be incapable of a slightly larger
cooperation with a Frenchman, a New Englander, or a Russian?
The argument appears strikingly modern, only because the present-day
world is organized around the continued attempt to implement this plan
which originated in the needs of the British aristocracy a century
ago. Yet, as Wells admits in his draft, it is not modern at all. It is
an attempt to return to periods of weak nation-states such as the
Middle Ages or the Roman Empire. It was only with the Italian
Renaissance, Wells argues, that the idea of powerful nation-states
threatened unity. Wells will attempt to destroy the nation-state in
order to create a new world empire.
Moral Re-Armament: The Moon's Beginning
Wells' League of Nations proved a failure. The American people, among
others, did not buy it, and the Senate could not be brought to ratify
it. But the war for world empire, under the guise of "universal
peace," had only just begun.
In 1921, an international arms-control conference took place in
Washington, D.C., the first of a series known as the Washington
Disarmament Conferences. Frank Buchman, by outward appearance an
insignificant American Lutheran preacher, was invited to attend and
given an audience with two Englishmen. One was Arthur James Balfour,
head of the British Empire delegation and Lord President of the King's
Privy Council, who would sign the treaty twice, once for the King and
once for the Union of South Africa. The other was Balfour's longtime
associate from the days of the Coefficients Club, H.G. Wells, who was
attending the conference as reporter for an international array of
press syndicates.
Out of this meeting within a meeting came the founding of an
organization to be headed by Buchman, that came to be known as Moral
Re-Armament (MRA). Moral Re-Armament was, and remains to this day, an
influence-peddling and control operation, run as a pseudo-Christian
religious cult, much like the later Moon cult which it spawned. In
more ways than one, Frank Buchman was the Reverend Moon of the 1920s
and 1930s.
Frank Buchman's Rise
Born in Pennsburg, Pennsylvania in 1878, Buchman graduated from
Muhlenburg College, and later attended Pennsylvania State College. As
a Lutheran minister in a poor part of Philadelphia, he came into
contact with the American Friends Service Society. His entree into
intelligence circles appears to have originated on a trip to England
in 1908. There, in a small church, he claims he saw "a vision of the
cross" which changed his life. Whatever else happened on that trip,
Buchman on his return to the U.S.A., began moving in high circles, and
was soon a friend of the national chairman of the Democratic Party.
In 1915, Buchman began a tour of the Far East, sponsored by the Young
Men's Christian Association, one of many do-gooder organizations which
serve as a cover for international intelligence operations. (The
friendly YMCA had already been linked through the Moody Bible School
in Chicago, to the the 1881 assassination of President James Garfield,
the Civil War general and Lincoln admirer who vowed in his inaugural
address to enforce the Constitution against a racist reign of terror
in the South.) The Buchman itinerary included India, Korea, Japan, and
finally China. In Japan, he was personally greeted by Baron Mitsui,
head of Japan's largest cartel, and hosted by Baron Shibusawa, founder
of the Japanese Finance Ministry. Throughout his life, Buchman would
maintain extremely close ties with the powerful Mitsui, Shibusawa, and
Sumitomo families.
In 1917, Buchman arrived in China in the midst of a revolutionary
epoch during which Sun Yat Sen had briefly held power. It was here,
Buchman reports, that he perfected his method of influence-peddling
and control. Buchman's technique was a shade more subtle than Moon's.
Moon promises to satisfy his victim's craving for sexual satisfaction
in the obvious way. Buchman wins the confidence of his victim, in
order to control and manipulate his guilt. He called it his personal,
"confessional approach" for "remaking man." He had already begun
developing it while a graduate student at Penn State. Buchman put
forth a public posture of moral probity and abstinence, inviting
people to talk to him about their personal problems. Probing for the
issues on which they felt the most guilt, he would persuade them that
they could overcome their perceived weakness by confessing it to him,
and becoming a faithful follower. Buchman won over many people with
his technique, which became the trademark of Moral Re-Armament
recruitment tactics, aimed generally at people of power and influence.
Later, he also developed an ego-stripping technique, for mass
recruitment in larger social settings.
In China, Buchman and his two friends drew up a list of 15 of the most
influential Christians in Beijing. Sun Yat Sen was at the top of the
list. He got as far as the Vice Minister of Justice, later acting
Prime Minister, Hsu Ch'ien. Through Hsu, Buchman started a friendship
with Sun. "If sin is the disease," he told an audience of
missionaries, "we must deal with sin. Sin first of all in ourselves,
the 'little sins' that rob us of power and keep us from being able to
go out in deep sympathy to men in sin.' " But stories began to spread
about Buchman's own pecadilloes, and he was forced to leave China.
Still, Sherwood Eddy, the missionary who had brought Buchman to Asia,
wrote: "Buchman's work in China has developed by a growth of evolution
into a movement of immense proportions."
From China, Buchman made his way again to England. He arrived at
Oxford in 1921-22, and began to work his magic on a circle of
professors and students who were later to become known as the Oxford
Group. Most were veterans of the recent war, who gathered for
philosophical debate. Buchman would attempt to steer them into
discussions of their personal problems. Again scandal arose. There was
talk of exhibitionism occurring at the meetings, and the ever-present
suspicion of homosexuality, the bane of the British boarding school
system. Buchman himself never married, saying that God had not chosen
a partner for him.
His slogans, which became the "four pillars" of Moral Re-Armament,
were: 1) Absolute honesty; 2) Absolute purity; 3) Absolute love; 4)
Absolute unselfishness. Buchman's self-advertisement for his cause
sounded convincing enough:
Unless we deal with human nature thoroughly and drastically on a
national scale, nations will follow their historic road to violence
and destruction. You can plan a new world on paper, but you've got to
build it out of people.
We shall see in a moment what he means by this.
3. The Open Conspiracy
Despite the scandals, the Oxford circle continued to grow. In 1928,
Buchman, the posturing pseudo-Christian, received another boost from
the avowed atheist H.G. Wells, with the publication of the first
edition of Wells' The Open Conspiracy: Blue Prints for a World
Revolution. The contradiction in theologies is only apparent. For both
men, religion is a tool for power and social control. Through a study
of Wells' Open Conspiracy, we can come to understand how a Gnostic sex
cult such as Moon's, and a trained circus of pious peeping-toms such
as Buchman's, may become instruments for achieving the same end.
Remember, the goal of Wells, Russell, and company is the destruction
of the sovereign power of the nation-state, the United States above
all, and with it the elimination of a philosophical, cultural, and
religious tradition dating more than 2,500 years. Remember, this is to
be achieved not by the obvious methods but by subversion. It will be
accomplished in a manner that shall leave the typical patriot almost
completely blindsided. In opposing one side of the operation, he will
find himself embracing the same thing, from another side. Until he
troubles to actually understand the true nature of the enemy he is up
against, his impotent flailings will be not unlike the attempt to
wrestle with an invisible man.
What makes the "open conspiracy" open, is not the laying out of some
secret masterplan, not the revealing of the membership roster of some
inner sanctum of the rich and powerful, which the typical deluded
populist supposes to be the secret to power in the world. It is,
rather, the understanding that ideas, philosophy and culture, control
history. What constitutes a conspiracy, for good or evil, is a set of
ideas which embody a concept of what it is to be human, and a
conception of man's role in universal history. This Russell and Wells
understood, even if their definition of a human being, apparently
based on close, personal observation, was a two-legged ape that
babbles. Neither "Sancho Panza" Wells, nor the "Ingenious Hidalgo"
Russell, whose pretensions to philosophy we shall shortly expose, are
intellectual giants. The power of their evil lies only in their
possession of this bit of knowledge and the social connections to
propagate it. Follow them then, in your mind's eye, as we retrace
their crooked path which leads to the late 1960s unleashing of the
Moonie scourge upon America, producing an effect similar to that
achieved by the emptying of the world's largest loony-bin onto a
university campus.
The New World Religion
The purpose of the Open Conspiracy, Wells tells us, with no evident
shame, is the creation of a New World Religion. The first four
chapters of the 1928 work present his "theological" analysis:
The old faiths have become unconvincing, unsubstantial and insincere,
and though there are clear intimations of a new faith in the world, it
still awaits embodiment in formulae and organizations that will bring
it into effective reaction upon human affairs as a whole.
In the second chapter heading, he argues that the essence of religion
is the subordination of self. Though the majority may have difficulty
keeping to the strict teachings, there is a minority for whom "The
desire to give oneself to greater ends than the everyday life affords,
and to give oneself freely, is clearly dominant." This is the emotion
Wells and his friends hope to tap.
In the third chapter, "Need for a Restatement of Religion," Wells
hints at his plan for writing a new Bible:
Every great religion has explained itself in the form of a history and
a cosmogony. It has been felt necessary to say Why? and To What End?
Every religion has had necessarily to adopt the physical conceptions
and usually also to assume many of the moral and social values current
at the time of its foundation.... In these conditions lurked the seeds
of an ultimate decay and supersession of every religion.
Later in The Open Conspiracy, Wells will refer to his threefold
"modern Bible scheme." The first part (his replacement for Genesis and
the books of the prophets) was his The Outline of History, published
in 1920. Apparently Wells' Bible lacked an important one of the
commandments. Modern scholarship has determined that Wells stole this
multi-volume survey of the whole history of mankind (otherwise claimed
to have been written in the extraordinary span of 18 months!) from a
Canadian suffragist, Florence Deeks.[5]
The second part of Wells' Bible, his cosmogony, was even then being
written in collaboration with Julian Huxley and Wells' own son. Titled
The Science of Life, it was published in 1930 in four volumes. As
elaborated there, Wells' new religion is nothing but the Social
Darwinism he learned at the feet of Thomas Huxley, a crude appeal to
biological determinism. The reader is overcome with a mass of detail,
all conceived to promote the social policy of eugenics and birth
control for the engineering of a super-race. Every feature of modern
ecologism is already contained in this work.
The third part of the Bible according to Wells, was to be the Science
of Work and Wealth, his study of "economic and social organization
considered as the problem of man's exploitation of extraneous energy
for the service of the species." He never lived to complete it, or
perhaps the targetted author gave up "the ghost" first, before his, or
her, surplus energy could be exploited.
The Program of `The Open Conspiracy'
In the fourth chapter, Wells comes to the nub of the matter. Service
to an ideal, the desire for a better order, is the heart of religion.
His plan is to find a way to direct this powerful emotion to the
implementation of the program of the Open Conspiracy.
In a later chapter, he summarizes the program of The Open Conspiracy
in three clear and simple points:
Firstly, the entirely provisional nature of all existing governments,
and the entirely provisional nature, therefore, of all loyalties
associated therewith;
Secondly, the supreme importance of population control in human
biology and the possibility it affords us of a release from the
pressure of the struggle for existence on ourselves; and
Thirdly, the urgent necessity of protective resistance against the
present traditional drift towards war.
There is no clearer statement of the program of that influential
grouping which called itself, and came to be known as, the Utopians.
Buchman's Cue
The first and third points of Wells' program were to be the basis for
the first mass organizing project of the Open Conspiracy. Frank
Buchman's Oxford Group, the seed crystal for the Moral Re-Armament
Movement which was to spawn the Moonies, would be the vehicle. Wells
had spelled it out precisely in Chapter XII:
The putting upon record of its members' reservation of themselves from
any or all of the military obligations that may be thrust upon the
country by military and diplomatic effort, might very conceivably be
the first considerable overt act of Open Conspiracy groups. It would
supply the practical incentive to bring many of them together in the
first place. It would necessitate the creation of regional or national
ad hoc committees for the establishment of a collective legal and
political defensive for this dissent from current militant
nationalism. It would bring the Open Conspiracy very early out of the
province of discussion into the field of practical conflict.
But to promote a mass movement for peace after 1933, as Hitler was
mobilizing for war, with Russia the expected target, was not the job
for the communist movement. Some new sort of formation would be
required.
Buchman and his group of followers at Oxford had made a
well-publicized trip to South Africa in the late 1920s, where their
movement for peace was christened the Oxford Group. Senior university
officials soon embraced the group. B.H. Streeter, the provost of
Queen's College, Oxford, and a well-known New Testament scholar, made
public his support for Buchman at a 1934 meeting in Oxford Town Hall:
The reason that I have come tonight is to say publicly that I ought
now to cease from an attitude of benevolent neutrality towards what I
have come to believe is the most important religious movement today.
4. Nazis and Moonies
The Oxford Group spread its activities to other nations, becoming
especially strong in Norway, Japan, the U.S.A.and Hitler's Germany,
where SS/Gestapo chief Heinrich Himmler was a member! Naturally the
propaganda of the Moral Re-Armament Movement, which still exists to
this day, attempts to play down the Nazi connection. But the very name
Moral Re-Armament was announced by Buchman at a 1938 meeting at the
Waldlust Hotel, outside the city of Freudenstadt in Germany's Black
Forest. Buchman made numerous attempts to meet with Hitler. He was
granted an official exploratory interview with Himmler, through whom
Buchman hoped to get a date with Hitler, but it didn't work out. It
appears that Himmler could not persuade his bureaucracy. In his
biographical memoir, I Paid Hitler, Fritz Thyssen, the Catholic steel
industrialist who broke with the Nazi Party after Kristallnacht and
fled Germany, wrote that both Himmler and Deputy Reichsführer Rudolf
Hess were members of Moral Re-Armament. Like Moon today, Buchman
sought the big names.[6]
In 1937, the Oxford Group began a publication called The Rising Tide,
which also happens to have been the name of the paper of the Freedom
Leadership Foundation, the Moonie front group set up in 1969 as the
U.S. branch of the Moon-founded International Federation for Victory
over Communism. Buchman's magazine was called New World News, the same
as one put out later by Moon. The Moral Re-Armament singing group was
known as the Angels, the model for Moon's Little Angels children's
ballet.
The Peace Pledge
The signing of the Oxford Group's Peace Pledge, which called for
renouncing participation in any war (exactly as Wells had outlined),
became a vehicle for spread of the Wellsian movement among students in
the United States and elsewhere. The Peace Pledge Union, which
initiated the pledge, had been set up in 1936 by Bertrand Russell and
Aldous Huxley, before the two came to spread their evil in the United
States, Russell to Chicago and Huxley to California. This peace
movement for Hitler's war drive, reached a peak in 1938, when Moral
Re-Armament held rallies of 15,000 in New York and 30,000 in Los
Angeles. After the Nazi invasions of Poland and Czechoslovakia, the
Peace Pledge became a memory.
In England, Buchman had had the support of many wealthy and prominent
people reaching all the way to the future King, Edward VIII. In 1935,
a year before he assumed the crown, the Prince of Wales was a frequent
associate of Buchman's, according to royal biographer Charles Higham.
Edward's rule lasted only until 1938, when he was forced to resign,
ostensibly over a scandal involving his marriage to an American
divorcée. The real reason was his scandalous support for Adolf Hitler,
at a time when England was about to go to war. Buchman also had the
support of Dr. Gordon Cosmo Lang, the Archbishop of Canterbury who had
a weakness for seances and once formed a commission to investigate
psychic phenomena. Among Dr. Buchman's other British admirers were Sir
Samuel Hoare, Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin, the Earl of Clarendon,
the Marquess of Salisbury, and the Earl of Cork and Orrery.
Prominent American supporters of Buchman included Los Angeles Times
publisher Harry Chandlee, Hollywood movie magnate Louis Mayer of Metro
Goldwyn Mayer, and David Dubinsky, president of the International
Ladies Garment Workers Union.
As war became imminent, Buchman fell under public attack both in
Britain and the U.S.A. A widely publicized statement he had made to an
American newspaperman in August 1936 did not sit so well now. Buchman
had said: "I thank heaven for a man like Adolf Hitler who built a
front line of defence against the anti-Christ of communism." There
were investigations in the House of Parliament and the U.S. Congress,
centering on his demand for exempting his members from the military
draft as a religious group. The Catholic Primate of England, Cardinal
Hinsley, threatened excommunication to anyone who joined Buchman's
cause. The Jewish War Veterans Association condemned his open
anti-Semitism. The Episcopal paper, The Witness, exposed Buchmanism as
"a trap for labor" among other things. Much of Buchman's operations
were focused on Communist influence in the labor movement. To take
some of the heat, The Rev. James W. Fifield, pastor of a
Congregational Church in Los Angeles, stepped in as the front man for
the U.S. operations of Moral Re-Armament.
Buchman's Post-War Comeback
After World War II, Moral Re-Armament re-emerged as a major player in
the Cold War environment that dominated the period of reconstruction
of Europe and Japan. As the resistance movements of Italy, France,
Greece, and elsewhere had been dominated by Communist-run popular
fronts, it was no small task to disarm them and attempt to isolate the
Communist influence. Buchman's love affair with Hitler was so
well-known, it had to be mentioned in Peter Howard's official
propaganda biography of him, Frank Buchman's Secret, published in
1951. Nonetheless, the decision was made to go with him.
In 1946, a group of wealthy Swiss bought Buchman the 500-bed Caux
Palace Hotel on a breathtaking site, 3,000 feet above Lake Geneva,
which remains today the center of international activities for the
group. In 1949, Moral Re-Armament held a major conference at the Caux
Palace, renamed Mountain House. It was the sort of affair the Moonies
still dream of. There were 27 cabinet ministers and 118
parliamentarians from 26 nations in attendance, as well as trade union
chiefs from 35 countries. There was heavy stress on the
anti-Communist, Christian labor movement. Ex-Communist labor leaders,
among them a South Wales steel worker and a German miner, testified on
their conversion to Buchmanism. A bipartisan delegation of U.S.
Congressmen was flown in by military airplane. The biggest promoter of
MRA in the Congress, Karl E. Mundt, the South Dakota Republican who
won the Senate seat in 1948, couldn't make it, but sent a telegram of
support.
During the Marshall Plan debates, one-third of the U.S. Congress saw
the film "The Good Road," a movie version of the MRA's musical stage
show. Gen. Lucius Clay gave the show special permission to tour in
occupied Germany. The MRA targetted trade-union members in the Ruhr
region, especially miners. On Buchman's birthday in 1952, he received
telegrams from Richard Nixon, Willy Brandt in Germany, NATO commander
Gen. Hans Speidel, the chairman of the Democratic Socialist Party of
Italy, and a member of the French Chamber of Deputies, among others.
The penetration was so complete, that Buchman claimed such important
post-war figures as German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer, Italian Premier
Alcide De Gasperi, and French Foreign Minister Robert Schuman as
signators on some of his operations.
Aside from the formula "Communism = the Anti-Christ," Buchman's
preaching was centered on the family, the importance of mother, and
the code phrase "the truths you learned at your mother's knee."
Typical activities for members included acting in plays pushing the
MRA ideology, voluntary labor squads, and Bible study. A frequent
theme in the plays: A woman dressed entirely in red, known as Virtue,
is portrayed as stirring up labor-management disputes, and is finally
exposed as really being a "Red." Major centers of activity in the
United States were The Club in Los Angeles, a retreat on Mackinac
Island, Michigan, and one in Westchester County, New York.
Korean Orphans
The spread of Buchman's operations into Korea is suggestive of the
sort of base which may have provided the first members for Moon's
zombie cult. In the Nov. 3, 1952 issue of Moral Re-Armament's MRA
Information Service, there appeared an article about an island off the
Korean coast near the mouth of the Natkong River, called Jinoo Do. The
MRA article references the visit to the island of "an agent of the
Medway Plan Foundation, an organization devoted to human
rehabilitation." The Medway Plan appears to refer to a town in England
in which sociological studies, first run under the rubric of Charles
Madge's Mass Observations, and later incorporated under the London
Tavistock Institute, were carried out.[7] The Medway study took up the
relationship of sexual morality and work, focusing on the relationship
of preachers to their wives in the town of Medway.
Arriving on Jinoo Do, the Medway Plan representative found an island
inhabited by Korean orphans and juvenile delinquents, placed there by
the army in 1951. Under MRA supervision, the orphans had established a
"democratic town" there, policed and governed by themselves, and based
on Frank Buchman's precept that "human nature can be changed."
Everywhere one could find the slogans of Moral Re-Armament: "Absolute
Honesty," "Absolute Purity," "Absolute Unselfishness," "Absolute
Love." These, incidentally, became the slogans adopted by Moon. Other
slogans on this "Brave New World" in the Korean Straits read: "No
HatredNo FearNo Greed," or "New MenNew NationsNew World," or
"Jinoo DoPrinciple of citizen Life."
The CIA and Moral Re-Armament
In his 1989 book, The Game Player: Confessions of the CIA's Original
Political Operative, top spook Miles Copeland brags of the
intelligence agency's control over both Moral Re-Armament and L. Ron
Hubbard's Scientology movement. Copeland reports that he served in the
1950s as head of an agency entity known as The Political Action Staff.
Under this umbrella, his assistant, Bob Mandlestam, developed an
operation called "OHP," or "occultism in high places," described by
Copeland as "a theory of political activism based on an impressively
detailed study of ways in which leaders of the world based their
judgments on one form or another of divine guidance." One of
Mandlestam's projects was to "plant astrologists on certain world
leaders." Another was to deploy "mystics" in the Georgetown section of
Washington, D.C., home to many government figures, who would use
"voodoo magic," based on rites prescribed by the CIA itself, to
manipulate Congressmen.
As part of OHP, Copeland and Mandlestam began to utilize the Moral
Re-Armament movement, which "gave us useful secret channels right into
the minds of leaders, not only in Africa and Asia but also in Europe."
After this, Copeland writes:
When Bob made similar arrangements with Scientology, ... we were on
our way to having a political action capability which would make the
highly expensive, largely ineffective and largely overt "covert
action" of Bill Casey's CIA seem trivial by comparison. "MRA will him
'em high, and the Church of Scientology will hit 'em low!" Bob liked
to boast, and he was right.
Shocking as Copeland's revelations may seem, they barely scratch the
surface of the age-old practice of political manipulation by cults. We
will take up that matter, below, in the discussion of Moon's theology.
Moral Re-Armament Today
Moral Re-Armament continued to have a strong presence in the U.S.A.,
especially student layers, up into the 1960s founding of the
anti-Vietnam War movement. Despite its anti-Communist, right-wing
profile, Moral Re-Armament literature even found its way into the
early anti-Vietnam War movement, in which Bertrand Russell played a
guiding role. In the U.S.A., the campus-touring spokesman for the
anti-war movement in the 1963-64 period was Russell Stetler, a
Haverford College graduate student who had studied with Bertrand
Russell in London, and returned as the representative of Russell's
International War Crimes Tribunal.
MRA's Agenda for Reconciliation front group has been active in
Lebanon, Kenya, Sudan, Somalia, Ethiopia, and elsewhere. It was behind
the 1992 Clean Elections Campaign in Taiwan, a similar effort in
Kenya, and one in Ghana in the May 2000 election. The Moral
Re-Armament spinoff International Communications Forum held a big
conference in Sarajevo, Bosnia in September-October 2000. Its U.S.
headquarters are in Richmond, Virginia, where it runs an organization
called Hope in the Cities. Its Gente que Avanza group, active in Latin
America for more than 30 years, has trained 800 young people from 20
countries. Other fronts include Farmer's Dialogue, and a women's
organization called Creators of Peace.
With the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, Moral Re-Armament launched a
new front group, Foundations for Freedom, to penetrate into formerly
Communist countries. In 2001, Moral Re-Armament changed it name to
Initiatives of Change UK. It still holds international meetings at the
Caux, Switzerland site, around the theme of reconciliation among the
faiths. Tibetan Buddhism's Dalai Lama has attended twice, along with
Jewish, Islamic, and Christian leaders. It continues to intervene on
behalf of British grand strategy, using benign-sounding front groups
to carry out devious political ends. The "role of the individual as an
agent for change in an era of globalization," is a leading theme
today.
5. Moonrise Over Asia
The rise of Moon's Unification Church, out of the networks of the
Buchman Moral Re-Armament organization, took place in the immediate
aftermath of the Korean Warin a nation still occupied by hundreds of
thousands of U.S. troops, and governed by a dictatorship run from
Washington. The oft-told tale that Moon was a creation of the Korean
Central Intelligence Agency, and that the Moon penetration of America,
beginning in the 1960s, was primarily a foreign intelligence
penetration, is thus a half-truthand a misleading one. Moon was up
and down, a creation of the KCIA. But ask yourself: What was the
controlling force behind the KCIA? Think before you answer, for the
"obvious" here is also a trap. It was not "the CIA," as
populist-minded Americansand anti-Americansconceive of it. Behind
the popularly misused term, "the CIA," is something both more
interesting, and yet less mysterious, than most conspirophiles
imagine. If you truly wish to know dark secrets, seek out that
historical-cultural cauldron in which the midnight potions of the
Russell-Wells "No-Soul Gang" are brewed. Its intoxicating spells work
every bit as potently in Asia as in the West, as we shall soon
discover.
The Early Moon
Based on a 1997 profile by historian Anton Chaitkin and other sources,
Moon's biography prior to becoming a mass cult leader, can be
summarized thusly:
Yong Myung Mun (the name was later changed to fit a Gnostic doctrine)
was born in northwestern Korea in 1920. His parents converted to a
Pentecostal sect of the Presbyterian Church when he was about 10.
Under North Korean Communist rule in 1946, Moon set up his own
Pentecostal church, called the Jerusalem of the East (Kwang-ya). It
featured shouting, faith-healing, and a Moon innovation called
"blood-sharing." Based on pagan fertility rites, this was the
unlimited copulation of the pastor with his female followers. On
complaints from Christian churches, Moon was arrested by the North
Korean police in 1946 for adultery, and again in 1948. He was tried on
charges of bigamy and "social disorder," and condemned to five years
of hard labor in a prison camp in Hung-nam. After serving two and a
half years, he was released by advancing United Nations forces, and
made his way south. He soon left his wife, and, without divorcing her,
remarried and went back to holy blood-sharing.
Moon moved to Seoul, South Korea in 1954, where he set up the Holy
Spirit Association for the Unification of World Christianity, or
Unification Church. This occurred in connection with the founding of
the Asian People's Anti-Communist League, an organization in the orbit
of the Frank Buchman Moral Re-Armament grouping. Moon's lawyer at the
time was Robert Amory, deputy director of the Central Intelligence
Agency under Allen Dulles.
Moon was arrested by the Seoul police in July 1955 for indecent
activities causing "social disorder." The newspaper Segae reported
July 6, 1955 that dozens of upper-class and university women were
sexually involved with Moon. He was arrested again, later in 1955 for
his furious fornications. On Oct. 4, 1955, after intervention by
intelligence agencies, Moon was absolved of all accusations and freed.
There began his free and clear path to emergence as a world figure.[8]
Sasagawa and the Japan Connection
The first Unification Church missionary, Sang Ik-Choi, left Korea on
June 16, 1958 to set up operations in Japan. Specialists investigating
the origins and current funding channels of the Moon operation are
consistently led to the Japanese right-wing figure Ryoichi Sasagawa
(1899-1995). A brief digression into the Japan connection will help to
clarify the whys and wherefores of the curious rise to prominence of
the Reverend Moon's sex cult.
Sasagawa was a shipping magnate in 1930s Japan, associated with the
Mitsui Group, the trade and banking cartel which had always been
aligned with the British factional interest in Japan. Declared a Class
A war criminal (he had been an ardent fascist and regular visitor to
Hitler's Germany), Sasagawa, at first, had to keep a low profile
during the U.S. occupation. But his post-war fortune was rebuilt with
help of Gen. William H. Draper, Jr., the anti-population-growth
fanatic who founded the Draper Fund for Population Control and spent a
time in occupied Japan as Undersecretary of the U.S. Army. Later,
Sasagawa became honorary chairman of the Draper Fund, and was also a
co-founder of the Malthusian Club of Rome with Alexander King and
Aurelio Peccei. Sasagawa provided much of the official funding for the
Asian People's Anti-Communist League, set up June 15-18, 1954, in
Chinhae, South Korea, This then crossed over into Buchman's Moral
Re-Armament networks, and later became a central part of the Moon
operation.
In the late 1960s, just before his move to America, the Reverend Moon
made an arrangement with Yoshio Kodama, the post-war leader of the
3-million-strong Japan Youth Federation, which formed a cornerstone of
the World Anti-Communist League (WACL). Kodama had worked very closely
with Sasagawa during the 1960s and 1970s. After the meeting, Kodama's
lieutenant, Osami Kuboki, became Moon's chief executive for Japan, and
the head of the Unification Church there. After Kodama's death in the
1980s, Moon gained increasing influence over the Japan Youth
Federation.
But Kodama was also a silent partner in Japan's organized-crime ring
known as the Inagaki-kai yakuza. (The yakuza, Japan's mafia gangs, are
the laundry for billions of dollars in Asian drug trade cash.) One of
Kodama's chief aides was arrested in Hawaii in 1991 for transporting
cocaine under cover of the trading activity of the Sagawa Kyubin
trucking company. The firm was run by Susumu Ishii, a founder and
leader of the yakuza, until his November 1991 death. Reverend Moon's
funder, Yoshio Kodama, was an investor in Ishii's trucking firm. The
yakuza's dirty drug money is suspected of being the main source for
the suitcases full of cash which Moon's members transport regularly
into the United States to fund his enormous influence-peddling and
corruption operations. The cash and gold watches, which American
ministers and Congressmen routinely accept from Moon, are thus,
presumably, paid for by the profits of the Asian drug trade. One might
consider that, the next time a parishioner's child dies of a drug
overdose.
Papa Bush's Cash Cow
The same sources helped pay for the election of current President
George W. Bush. In September 1995, when he was seeking money to fund
his son's political career, former President George H.W. Bush went on
a speaking tour of Japan for the Women's Federation for World Peace,
headed by Moon's wife, Hak-ja Han-Moon. After a Sept. 14 address by
Mrs. Moon in the Tokyo Dome, former First Lady Barbara Bush declared
Mrs. Moon "my sister," according to a small item that appeared the
next day in the Moonies' Washington Times. In November 1996, the
cash-hungry father Bush toured Argentina, Peru, Uruguay, and Venezuela
with Reverend Moon, on a mission to launch a Spanish-language version
of the Washington Times for distribution in South America, known as
Tiempos del Mundo.
But the Bush family ties to Moon operations preceded all that.
According to Japanese intelligence sources, Prescott Bush II ran Asian
secret operations for his brother, the first President George Bush.
Prescott was an adviser to the just-mentioned Sagawa Kyubin trucking
firm involved in the cocaine scandal, and owned by the Moon-connected
gangsters Ishii and Kodama. Prescott was also tied in to other Ishii
businesses. From 1989 to 1991, he served as a $250,000-a-year
consultant to Ishii's Hokusho Sangyo Co., according to U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission reports.
How Japan Became America's Enemy ...
The Japanese connection to the rise of the Moon cult is important for
another reason. The presence of the Mitsui group at the center of the
Moon and Buchman operations in Japan is a marker for something even
more central to understanding the forces behind the Russell-Wells
"no-soul gang." Again a step back in history, will make the matter
clearer.
When former President Ulysses Grant visited Japan in 1879, at the
conclusion of a three-year world tour, he warned the Meiji government
against the treachery of the British. Great Britain was then the open
enemy of patriotic Americans, and the battle between the American and
the British systems the central struggle in the world. How Japan
responded to this struggle would be crucial for its future. The fate
of China had already been determined a few decades earlier, at a time
when America was divided and weaker.
Through two Opium Wars, Britain had subjugated and humiliated China.
The first Opium War began in 1839, when China banned the importation
of British opium, shipped in from the Indian colony. The British
intent was to create the world's largest free market in drugs by
addicting the huge population of China's coastal cities. China was no
match for British naval power. By the Treaty of Nanking in 1842, she
was forced to surrender the ports of Canton, Shanghai, Amoy, Foochow,
and Ningpo to British trade, and to cede the island city of Hong Kong
entirely to Britain. But worse, China was forced to yield up her
population to the scourge of the opium den. The second Opium War from
1856-58, joined in by British and French troops, ended in the Treaty
of Tientsin, which forced the opening of ports from the mouth of the
Yangtze River north to Manchuria.
In Japan, a pro-American faction developed, which learned the
difference between the British and American systems. In 1853, between
the two Opium Wars, a Japan previously closed to all foreign contact
received U.S. Navy Commodore Matthew Perry, and a treaty of friendship
was soon worked out. A circle of reformers grouped around the
intellectual leader Yukichi Fukuzawa founded newspapers and a
university to educate Japanese political layers to an understanding of
the uniqueness of the United States, and argue that Japan adopt
America's revolutionary system as a model.[9]
The Meiji Restoration of 1868 overthrew the warlord-feudalist
Shogunate, and returned full power to the Emperor, who was under the
guidance of a faction of pro-American reformers, steeped in the
writings of Alexander Hamilton and the U.S. Constitution. American
System economist Erasmus Peshine Smith, the student of Lincoln's ally
and economic adviser Henry Charles Carey, was dispatched to Japan by
President Grant in 1871 to help guide the economic development
program.[10] After the crushing of the Satsuma rebellion in 1877,
pro-American reform groups were able to abolish feudalism, nationalize
land held by warrior clans, and begin large-scale industrial
development.
... And How America Became Its Own Enemy
Similar processes were under way in Germany, under the leadership of
American System economist Friedrich List, and in Russia with the help
of such figures as the great chemist Dmitri Mendeleyev, the author of
a plan for industrialization of Russia by railroad development, and
the Count Sergei Witte who was allied with the Meiji group in Japan.
The promotion of the American System of economy, and the concept of a
government constituted to promote the general welfaretwo ideas
virtually banned from American history books in the second half of the
20th Century, remained the central aim of Republican administrations,
up through the British-sponsored assassination of a newly re-elected
President William McKinley in 1901. (That Republican Party, as
distinguished from the thing bearing that name today, was the party of
Lincoln. The Democratic Party of the time, and continuing up until the
breakthrough 1932 campaign of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, was the party
of slavery and shareholder values, as it has tended to become again,
since the disastrous Presidency of Zbigniew Brzezinski's puppet, Jimmy
Carter, and the recent hegemony of the Democratic Leadership Council.)
The secret to what happened to the intellectual tradition that
produced the American Revolution, Lincoln, and the post-Civil War
industrialization, is summed up in this historical fact. In the last
quarter of the 19th Century, America's principal allies were Germany,
Japan, and Russiathe very same nations which became her principal
enemies in the 20th Century. Worse yet, America became its own enemy,
betraying its own history by a still-raging case of collective
historical amnesia. There was no irony in it. That was precisely the
result which the grandson of Palmerston ally Lord John Russell, and
his lower-class sidekick, Wells, had intended.[11]
Buchman Again
The Japanese family cartels which tended toward a pro-British stance
from an early point, were Mitsui, Sumitomo, and Shibusawa. The Mitsui
banking and trading company complex had been the leading Japanese
partner of Jardine Matheson and Company, the Scottish shipping firm
which controlled the largest share of the British Empire monopoly in
opium. Moral Re-Armament founder Frank Buchman met the Barons Mitsui
and Shibusawa (then the Finance Minister) in 1915, when he travelled
to Japan on his YMCA-sponsored Asian tour. Later, Buchman came to know
intimately Kichizaemon Sumitomo of the Sumitomo cartel, and the entire
Shibusawa banking family.
The Baron Mitsui's second son, Takasumi, came to study in England,
first at Halford Mackinder's London School of Economics, and later at
Magdalen College, Oxford. In 1935, Prof. B.H. Streeter, the Moral
Re-Armament leader and provost of Queens College, Oxford, invited
young Takasumi Mitsui to meet with Buchman. Buchman attempted to use
Takasumi for a three-pronged penetration: to push for Anglo-Japanese
rapprochement; to intervene into the conflict in China; and, to "bring
Japan into a united front with Britain and the Axis powers for a
crusade against Bolshevism," in Buchman's words.
It was exactly the geopolitical program which Haushofer had dictated
to Hitler as he composed Mein Kampf. No surprise that it should
coincide with the program at Oxford, since Haushofer acknowledged he
had taken his geopolitical analysisthat whoever controlled the
"Eurasian heartland" (Germany, Central Europe, and Russia) controlled
the worldfrom the Coefficients' Halford Mackinder. Buchman and the
Oxford Group were hardly alone in their efforts. In 1935, before
Hitler turned westward, the policy of bleeding "the heartland," by
engineering a confrontation between Hitler and the Soviet Union, was
the prevailing policy among the British elite.
Takasumi was induced to return to Japan. "Sumi must become a
peacemaker," the pious fraud Buchman intoned. The young Mitsui reached
Japan in 1939, where he gave several lectures on Moral Re-Armament
before businessmen's clubs, and to a captive audience of Mitsui
executives. But the pro-Axis militarists who held the reins of power
did not want to hear of collaboration with the British at this late
date. His high connections allowed him to escape punishment by the
militarists, and Takasumi was permitted to establish a school in Tokyo
during the war. Despite his pro-Hitler sentiments, he was also spared
punishment during the American occupation, and by 1947 had become the
leader of the now widely accepted Japanese branch of Moral
Re-Armament.
6. Transformation in Korea
The Korean War provided the venue for the next phase of implementation
of the Russell-Wells scenario. The penetration by U.S. military and
intelligence circles by that point, was the key to the operation used
to create Moon. In the middle 1950s, U.S. military intelligence and
the Allen Dulles-controlled CIA operations crowd were all over Korea,
training and recruiting assets, and monitoring all political, social,
and religious activity under the Sygman Rhee dictatorship. According
to former U.S. Air Force Intelligence officer Col. Fletcher Prouty,
the securely controlled environment and huge military presence made
South Korea an ideal base for the "Secret Team" operations of the
notorious Gen. Edward Lansdale, which ranged throughout Asia.
One key reminder of the bigger picture is necessary, before turning to
the details of the recruitment and transformation of the sex deviant,
who now imagines himself the Messiah.
The war in Korea had marked a decisive advance for the British Utopian
influence over the United States, in many ways. President Truman's
1951 firing of Gen. Douglas MacArthur, who would not accept the
"limited war" concept central to the Russell-Wells doctrine, was a
marker for the growing influence of the Utopian faction in the U.S.
military. After World War II, traditionalist military men had fought
against the development of a Central Intelligence Agency separate from
the military branch intelligence services, and lost. As the Utopians
gained control, the military intelligence services as well were
penetrated and corrupted into instruments of Utopian policy.
After 1945, the whole military-strategic environment was shaped by the
bomb. The unnecessary dropping of the only two fission weapons in the
U.S. arsenal on a Japan that was already negotiating a surrender, was
the greatest triumph of the Russell-Wells faction. Just as Wells had
called for in The Open Conspiracy, the demonstrated existence of a
weapon too terrible to contemplate, opened the way to soliciting
nations to the surrender sovereignty to a world entity. Bertrand
Russell's role, from his post-war call for a pre-emptive strike
against the Soviet Union, to his position in brokering relations
between Kennedy and Khrushchov in the Cuban missile crisis, was
central. One cannot properly make sense of any significant development
in the post-war world without grasping the central influence of that
Russell-Wells Utopian doctrine in shaping them.[12]
The Rise of the Sex Deviant
For obvious reasons, every detail of Moon's turning and recruitment by
Western intelligence services cannot be known. His 1955 imprisonment
on sex offenses was likely the scene for the recruitment effort by
American-trained Korean intelligence operatives. Some time after
Moon's jailing, four Korean military officers with U.S. intelligence
training joined the Moon cult. The four were later to become
operatives of U.S. intelligence asset Maj. Kim Jong Pil, the founder
of the KCIA and the man who installed the Park Chung Hee regime in a
1961 coup.
These four early Moonies were:
Kam Jan In (a.k.a. Steve Kim), who served as Kim's interpreter and
later became KCIA station chief in Mexico City, where sources report
he was instrumental in establishing connections between Moon and the
drug cartels;
Hang Sang Keuk, later Korean ambassador to Norway, where he served as
liaison for the Moon organization to the Captive Nations organizations
of Communist East Europe.
Hang Sang Kil, who became Moon's personal secretary after serving as
liaison with the U.S. Department of the Defense at Korea's Embassy in
Washington; and
Col. Bo Hi Pak, who still runs Moon's U.S. operation, and was
originally the link between the Korean Embassy and the U.S. National
Security Agency, according to Robert Boettcher's Gifts of Deceipt.
Moon was absolved of all charges, and released from his South Korean
jail cell on Oct. 4, 1955. A few days later, his Unification Church
acquired a Buddhist temple at Chong-Padong in Seoul, which became its
headquarters. By the end of 1955 there were 30 Unification Church
centers throughout South Korea, spreading Moon's Gnostic gospel. Even
so, the scandals did not subside. Segae in 1957 alleged Moon to have
had orgies with 70 students.
One of Moon's early disciples, Chung Hwa Pak, broke with him, and made
public charges that Moon practiced his sex rituals with, among others,
six married female disciples. Moon claimed that these women were
preparing the way for the virgin, who would marry him and become the
True Mother. The charges were made public in the widely circulated
text The Tragedy of the Six Marys, later published in Japanese. Pak
later returned to Moon's payroll, and recanted his accusations.
KCIA chief Maj. Kim Jong Pil reportedly relied heavily on two
important sources to fund KCIA covert operations: first, Japan's Class
A War criminal, Ryoichi Sasagawa; second, Israeli slimeball Shaul
Eisenberg. Eisenberg, who is at the center of more politically tainted
shady business dealings than one can shake a judge's gavel at,
brokered deals with the Japanese for the KCIA's Kim; he may also have
been the go-between in establishing Walker Casino and resort near
Seoul in 1962, which provided a money-laundering capability for covert
operations.
Many of these facts come up in exposés, such as Boettcher's, and in
the 1978 Fraser Committee hearings before Congress. The common error
is in implying primary intent to the KCIA or even to the interests of
the Moon cult itself. As we have seen, the mother lies elsewhere.
7. The Moon Lands on America
The unleashing of the Reverend Moon's Gnostic sex-cult freak show onto
the streets of 1970s America only appears odd or inexplicable, if one
chooses (as in deference to academic and media-approved opinions of
modern history) to block out the openly stated aims of those who set
up the cult in the first place: to destroy, by subversion, the unique
experiment which was the American Revolution, and the intellectual
tradition which produced it. Once that elementary point is grasped,
all that need be explained is the changeover in tactics which took
place in the 1960s.
This new phase of the Moon marked the promotion of mass insanity.
Moon's missionaries came to the U.S.A. in the early to mid-1960s. Sang
Ik-Choi, the first missionary to Japan, went to the U.S.A. with Yun
Soo Lim, called Onni (Korean for "elder sister"). Onni was later
"blessed" by Moon in a marriage to Dr. Mose Durst, whom she had
converted. Together, they took charge of the Oakland Family in
California, which became the most important center of Unification
Church proselytism. In February 1972, with about 500 American members,
Moon proposed at a Los Angeles meeting, the launching of an expanded
recruitment drive based on forming mobile "witnessing teams" to tour
the United States. This was the One World Crusade. Huge sums of money
flowed in to set up permanent Unification Church centers in all 48
states, and to purchase a compound in Tarrytown, New York, on a
property previously owned by the Bronfman family, of liquor and
drug-money-laundering fame. (Rank-and-file Moonies were led to believe
that their slave labor in producing wax candles, and street-corner
sales of flowers and magazines actually paid for all this.) The
Belvedere compound in Tarrytown became Moon's first home, when he
relocated to the U.S.A. in 1972.
The One World Crusade was carried out with all-night, group
brainwashing sessions, involving sleep- and food-deprivation, and use
of psychedelic stimulants. After one notorious recruitment session at
the New Yorker Hotel, bodies were found at the foot of the elevator
shaft. This was the mad phase of the Moonie assault on America, the
reason behind that all-too-familiar empty smile and vacant stare, worn
by Moon's clean-cut, young street-corner zombies.
Why? Cui bono?
The Strategic Shift
The key to understanding the motivation behind this launching of mass
insanity, is to recognize the important shift in the global strategic
picture which had been achieved through Soviet General Secretary
Khrushchov's assent to the 1963 test-ban and arms limitations
agreements. For the Russell-Wells Utopians, this meant that the high
rate of Western investment in scientific and technological progress,
which had been required by the furious pace of the earlier arms race,
could be slowed, without fear of losing everything. That had been the
intent behind the U.S.-Soviet disarmament talks, initiated by the
Russell-Szilard Pugwash movement in 1955. By the time of the
assassination of President John F. Kennedy, an essential part of that
objective had been achieved.
The evolution of the Moonies into a mass cult in the late-1960s
U.S.A., had been preceded by establishment of a wide range of business
and influence-peddling fronts. Moon's U.S. operations began to really
take off with the 1964 founding of the Korean Cultural and Freedom
Foundation, by Col. Bo Hi Pak. (Moon's KCIA controller had
incorporated a U.S. Unification Church earlier, but it had only
proto-cells and a tiny following.) A year later, Bo Hi Pak launched
the Radio Free Asia project, a transparent scam to build the coffers
of the Unification Church. With backing of factions in the U.S.
intelligence community, Radio Free Asia solicited millions from
American anti-Communists to operate a transmitter in Korea, already
paid for by the Korean government. One after another, the business and
political front groups were established by figures including Col. Bo
Hi Pak; Neil Salonen, Moon's first high-level American operative; and
others, until the listing reached 33 single-spaced pages.
Once the decision was made to deploy the mass-scale recruitment
operation onto U.S. campuses, other networks of the Russell-Wells
no-soul gang lent a hand. Some of the early psychological conditioning
of the Moon cultists was carried out by the Michigan-based National
Training Laboratories. This was the social-engineering operation,
specializing in labor relations, run under direction of the Tavistock
Institute-trained Kurt Lewin and University of Pennsylvania Prof. Eric
Trist.
Vietnam
Just as the Utopian-managed war in Korea had provided the context for
the Moon recruitment, so the Vietnam War, the next of the succession
of managed conflicts (held below the threshold of total war by
pre-agreement among the superpowers), provided the human fodder for
the Moonie recruitment in America. Most of the American Moonies were
recruited out of the rock-drug-sex counterculture, deliberately
introduced into the student ferment against the Vietnam War. Allen
Tate Wood, for example, the prominent Moonie defector (who happens to
be the grandson of the Southern Fugitives school poet Allen Tate), was
a leader in the anti-war demonstrations which culminated in the
burning of the Reserve Officers Training Corps (ROTC) building at the
University of the South in Sewanee, Tennessee. Within a year or two,
Tate Wood was lobbying Congress on behalf of continuing the war in
Southeast Asia, a principal activity for Moon's zombies, working under
cover of the Freedom Leadership Foundation front in the early 1970s.
While the zombies were hawking candles and roses on the streets,
Moon's Freedom Leadership Foundation had set up meetings for the sex
deviant with an impressive list of U.S. Senators and Congressmen.
Between February and April 1973, Moon held meetings of half an hour or
longer with:
Senators William Brock (R-Tenn.), James Buckley (Cons.-N.Y.), Jesse
Helms (R-N.C.), Hubert Humphrey (D-Minn.), Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.),
and Strom Thurmond (R-S.C.); and
Representatives Philip Crane (R-Ill.), Richard Ichord (D-Mo.), Guy
Vander Jagt (R-Mich.), Earl Landgrebe (R-Ind.), Trent Lott (R-Miss.),
William Mailliard (R-Calif.), and Floyd Spence (R-S.C.).
The most evil aspect of it all was the intentional elimination of the
rational, scientific mental outlook associated with a modern,
technology-based, agro-industrial economy. Moon was not the whole of
it. From 1968 on, every piece of the disparate networks of the Open
Conspiracy was let loose at once. Of special note was the kookery of
the Aldous Huxley/Gregory Bateson operation which had been brewing in
California since Huxley's 1937 deployment to the United States. This
was the origin of the drug side of the 1960s counterculture. To a
youth culture terrified by the nightly news images of their peers
returning home in body bags from a purposeless war, retreat into
mind-altering drugs, mind-altering music, and even the mindlessness of
Moon was not so strange. Another crucial piece of the operation had
been hatched in New York's Institute for Social Research, which housed
the emigré networks of Hungarian psycho Georg Lukac's Frankfurt School
disciples. Russell's Unity of the Sciences movement formed another
piece. And there were more.[33]
The Bosch Canvas
Imagine America of the late 1960s into the 1970s, as if it were the
panoramic background to a painting by Hieronymus Bosch. Think of the
canvas as a whole, with its nightmarish imagery of degeneration and
debauchery, and the events as they actually occurred:
the launching of the rock-drug-sex counterculture, under direction of
such of Aldous Huxley's MK-ultra program disciples as Harvard's
notorious psychedelic drug pushers, Richard Alpert and Timothy Leary;
and, the parallel operation of stupefaction of popular music, as
prescribed in the studies of Frankfurt School musicologist Theodor
Adorno;
the spread of the mass environmentalist movement, funded under such
auspices as the World Wildlife Fund of Britain's royal consort, Prince
Philip, and the card-carrying Nazi, Prince Bernhard of the
Netherlands; the parallel deployment of a mass movement for world
depopulation as in the promotion of the genocidal doctrines of the
Club of Rome, founded by Moon collaborators Alexander King, Aurelio
Peccei, and Japan's Class A war criminal Ryoichi Sasagawa;
the dumbing down of U.S. education, especially de-emphasizing serious
study of the sciences and Western Classics, as described in the
Rappaport report produced during Alexander King's reign at NATO's
Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development;
the destruction of the principal technology driver of the 1960s U.S.
economy, the Wernher von Braun-conceived Moon-Mars colonization
program;
the dismantling of U.S. industrial capability, including its
conventional nuclear power capability, and the eventual shutdown of
the controlled thermonuclear fusion effortall as prescribed in the
Project 1980s report of the New York Council on Foreign Relations,
under the heading "controlled disintegration of the U.S. economy"; and
so forth.
By such means, the scientifically vectored, production-based world
economy of the 1945-64 period was brought to its present state of
onrushing depression collapse.
A Paradox
In The Time Machine, Wells' 1895 vision of the British oligarchy's
utopia, the working classes have evolved (Huxley-style) into hairy,
muscular, ground-hugging creatures, known as Morlochs, who do the work
of production for society in underground mills. The upper classes,
known as the Eloi, live their effete, airy existence on the surface
above, while also serving occasionally as fresh meat for hunting
parties of escaped Morlochs. To bring Wells' degraded vision up to
date, merely substitute for the Morlochs' underground foundries, the
exported manufacturing industries of the Third World sweatshops and
maquiladoras; instead of the Eloi, think of the credit-card based
consumer society at the top of which sit the now-shrinking number of
idle rich in the advanced-sector nations. There, in summary, is a fair
approximation of what the anti-American assault of the 1960s
rock-drug-sex counterculture produced.
The rational person of good will, observing what can only be
comprehended as an outbreak of mass insanity among his fellow
citizens, asks himself: How is such a thing possible? The thought
occurs to him that some person, or persons, must have brought about
this state of affairs wilfully. For what reason, he asks, and how
could such a thing be contemplated by rational men? Thus arises a
paradox. Can collective madness be reasonably planned? We refer the
still perplexed reader to the quotation at the opening of this
article.
Now, summon this whole fantastic Bosch canvas before your mind's eye,
as you think on today's purchased preachers, Presidents, and
Congressmen, some so bold as to brag openly of the Moonie-supplied
gold watches decorating their wrists. Yet, do not forget the even more
widespread fear and corruption of a free citizenry, which has chosen
to place Moon's purchased merchandise into positions of power and
responsibility, and even now tolerates their continuance. Thus, look
pure evil in the eye, and know, even so, that it can be defeated,
provided you will fight.
8. The Moonification of the Sciences
In 1972, several busloads of members of Moon's "Oakland Family" rolled
out of their Berkeley Center, with the intention of turning their cult
of a few hundred adherents into a national movement. As the candle
sellers hit the streets, others rented halls, printed programs, and
sold tickets for the multi-city speaking tours of their "Father" Moon.
Meanwhile, behind the scenes, the Russell-Wells "no-soul gang" was
already working on the next big step of the Moonification of America:
They would merge the cult of the Korean sex-deviant, with the networks
of corrupted scientists already gathered around Bertrand Russell's
Unity of Sciences movement.
The first International Conference of the Unity of Sciences (ICUS)
took place at New York's Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, Thanksgiving Day,
1972. There were 20 academics from 8 nations sharing the platform with
Reverend Moon. Among them: Harvard's Russellite professor of
philosophy, Willard V.O. Quine, and systems specialist Ervin Laszlo of
the genocidal Club of Rome.
From small beginnings, the subsequent ICUS conferences grew to
hundreds, and then thousands. These would become the annual Walpurgis
Nacht celebrations for the ghouls and goblins of the "no-soul" gang's
science establishment, many of them proudly bearing the mark of that
discredited Nobel Prize committee, which had long since become an
instrument of the Russell-Wells conspiracy. Cash and entertainment was
provided by Moon, the Mephistopheles of Poontang himself, who would
also deliver a personal statement of greetings to each conference.
Eugenics and the Super Robot
Moon's third Unity of Sciences conference, in 1974, took place at the
Royal Lancaster Hotel in London. The Chancellor of Cambridge
University, Edgar Douglas Lord Adrian, presided. Lord Adrian was a
Nobel Laureate, and aging leader of the eugenics movement (as Wellsian
biology had been called before the Nazi crimes gave the term a bad
name). His researches on the passage of nerve impulses across the
synapse marked the early phase of what was to become the Open
Conspiracy's two-pronged program for science: to modify man, and
create the super-robot "thinking machine."[14]
The fourth Unity of Sciences conference, back in New York, was
keynoted by Sir John Eccles. Eccles had learned his neuroscience from
Lord Adrian's partner Charles Sherrington (the two shared the 1932
Nobel Prize for physiology). Eccles then shared the 1963 Nobel Prize
for physiology with Andrew Huxley, the third generation from the
Thomas Huxley who had described the relationship of mind to body, as
that of a bell to an alarm clock.[15] Eccles and the younger Huxley
attempted to establish old Huxley's thesis, by researching the
chemical basis of the action potential of the nerve impulse.
The Huxley view of the brain became the central topic at the 1976
conference, in Washington, D.C., where prominent neuroscientists
joined Sir Eccles, that year's conference chairman, to debate the
brain-mind problem: Which way to establish Huxley's hoax that the mind
is merely a machine?
Some argued for a physiological approach: "The problems of higher
brain functions are very much involved in the question of the unity of
the sciences, if the ultimate aim is that the brain should understand
the brain," Dr. H. Hyden, Director of the Institute of Neurobiology at
the University of Göteborg, said. Others called for a mathematical
model: "What is needed is not a detailed understanding of the
physiology of the brain, but a form of statistical mechanics that
prescribes the properties of a mechanism capable of assimilating
information from outside itself and performing logical transformation
to that information before generating motor output," argued Dr. J.W.S.
Pringle from Merton College, Oxford.
Also at the fourth conference in New York, Nobel physicist Eugene
Wigner made his first of many appearances. Wigner was an old player in
the Russell-Wells nexus, a lifelong friend of Dr. "Strangelove" Leo
Szilard.[16] Wigner soon became a regular at Moon's affairs, along
with his former student Alvin Weinberg, the physics incompetent who
served as Director of Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
Technology Bad, Genocide Good
At the 1976 conference, in Washington, D.C., the co-founder of the
Club of Rome, Sir Alexander King, made his first appearance with Moon,
to speak against the "ugly manifestations of technology." Now, there
were 600 scientists and academics, from 50 countries, in attendance.
Recall the second point of Wells' program for the Open Conspiracy:
"the supreme importance of population control in human biology and the
possibility it affords us of a release from the pressure of the
struggle for existence...." This was the purpose of the genocidal Club
of Rome, whose propaganda provided the backdrop for the 1970s
de-industrialization of the U.S.A. and Western Europe. If people could
accept "postponing their immediate ambitions and gratifications of
immediate desires at least to the extent of providing a liveable world
for their children and grandchildren ... it would at least provide a
breathing space," King said in 1976. Today's children and
grandchildren can see what they got. The King of genocide was to
attend and chair many subsequent ICUS conferences.
At the 14th conference, in Houston, free-enterprise economic guru
Friedrich von Hayek received the Founder's Award from a Moon stand-in
(the Reverend was still in prison on tax evasion charges). That one
was chaired by Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Alvin Weinberg, the
student of Wigner. Von Hayek kept coming back, bringing with him the
Conservative Revolution crowd of the American Enterprise Institute,
the Potomac Organization, and others. At the 15th conference, a major
theme was unity of religions. Discussion papers included one on a
favorite topic of Moon: a piece by a comparative religion expert
arguing that phallus cults are simply a form of "worship of the
principle of life."
So, the wide net of the Open Conspiracy drew tighter.
Where It Came From
The Unity of Sciences movement had been founded in New York City in
the mid-1930s, by a group of admirers of Bertrand Russell among the
faculty of Columbia and New York Universities. It drew its
philosophical fire from Russell's discredited attempt at a utopian
formal logic, the Principia Mathematica,[17] and a related offshoot of
German philosophical degeneracy, the Vienna Circle of
logical-positivism. In the final analysis, the distinction between
those doctrines, and what Moon considered to be his most profound
discovery ("Why didn't you feel they [your feces] were dirty? Because
that's a part of your body.") is a fine one.
It all went back to Thomas Huxley's basic teaching, itself the
derivate of a long chain of philosophical decay dating back to
Aristotle. The unifying theme was the denial of the nobility of man,
as expressed in the provable power of the human mind to create and
discover new ideas. For the "no-soul" gang, there is no distinction of
man from the beast, nor even from inorganic matter. There is, thus, no
soul. To maintain such a view, creative reason must be denied. The
mind must be shown to be merely a formal-logical processor, not
different from a digital computer. The method of knowing the world, is
reduced to analysis of sensory data received at the nerve endings.
The logical-positivist version of the doctrine had been described most
nakedly by the Austrian failure of a physicist, Ernst Mach. In his
1886 The Analysis of Sensations, and the Relation of the Physical to
the Psychical, Mach described his philosophical epiphany at the age of
17. He had been studying Kant's tortured philosophy, when he suddenly
saw ... something:
On a bright summer day in the open air, the world with my ego suddenly
appeared to me as one coherent mass of sensations, only more strongly
coherent in the ego.
Leaders of the Unity of Science grouping in New York, all members or
sympathizers of Trotskyist political groupings, included Ernest Nagel,
Sidney Hook, and Albert Wohlstetter (later to achieve fame as the
mentor of America's leading Chicken-hawk, Defense Policy Board
Chairman Richard Perle).[18] John Dewey, the so-called education
reformer most responsible for the present dumbing down of U.S.
education, was also prominently associated with the group. Soon,
members of the Vienna Circle in flight from Hitler, began arriving in
New York. Among them were Rudolf Carnap, Hans Reichenbach, and the man
who coined the term Unity of Science, Otto Neurath.[19]
Bertrand Russell visited New York in 1936, on his way to a two-year
teaching assignment at the University of Chicago, and met with the
members of the Unity of Sciences group. Russell took the movement with
him to Robert M. Hutchins' University of Chicago. It grew to national
intellectual prominence in 1938, with a well-publicized conference at
the University of Pennsylvania, attended by Russell, and followed
shortly thereafter by another affair at Harvard.
Soon, the method of Unified Science would take over the teaching of
science and mathematics, first in the U.S.A., then the rest of the
world. A project called the International Encyclopedia of Unified
Science, run out of the University of Chicago, published a multivolume
series, of which Thomas Kuhn's wretched piece of intellectual
dishonesty, The Structure of Scientific Revolutions is the best
known.[20] Neurath was the editor-in-chief for the encyclopedia.
Rudolf Carnap, another Viennese refugee, and Charles Morris, both of
whom frequented Russell's seminar at Chicago, were the associate
editors. The advisory committee for the project included Copenhagen
school physicist Niels Bohr, John Dewey, and the devil's orphan,
Bertrand Russell himself.
Postscript: A Note on Moon's 'Theology'
Moon's is a Gnostic doctrine, not of his own invention. The method of
propagating cults, as a means of maintaining subject populations under
the rule of an imperial power, goes back at least as far, in known
history, as the Babylonian Empire. The Romans learned it from the high
priests of the East, whence it passed along, by way of Byzantium, to
Venice, the leading maritime power up to the 17th Century. From
Venice, it penetrated into England, and eventually became a standard
piece in the repertory of the British Empire's intelligence services.
The specific cult doctrine known as Gnosticism came to the Hellenic
world by way of the Persian domination of Mesopotamia. It originated
as a form of mystery worship of astronomical deities, including a
father (or "original man") and great mother god, sometimes Venus, or,
in an Egyptian-derived variant, Isis (Sirius). The number seven has
mystical significance as the number of the five visible planets, plus
the Sun and Moon.
In the form of the Gnostic heresy deployed against early Christianity,
the primal or original man, becomes Christ. In some versions, such as
that presented in the popular book, Holy Blood, Holy Grail, Christ did
not die on the cross, but married Mary Magdalen, migrated to Europe,
and had children, who became the British ruling family by way of
d'Anjou and Plantagenet lineage. This published hoax is a variant on
the form of British Israelism believed by many members of the British
elite today. In another common variant, the actual Jews are thought to
be the children of Eve's copulation with Satan (the serpent); the
other descendants of Adam allegedly went elsewhere. In other versions,
Christ did not marry, which is, itself, alleged to be an error.
Moon's religion is a syncretic variant upon these diverse Gnostic
doctrines, created as a cult belief-structure, for purposes of mass
manipulation. Moon believes that he is the Father of a "Third
Testament Age." The first was tainted by Cain's crime against his
brother. Christ failed to have children, and thus the Second Testament
Age was not fulfilled. Father and Mother Moon (that is, Sun Myung and
his second wife Hak Ja Han) are the parents of a new race of "blessed"
people of the Third Testament Age. Although Moon apparently once
thought he could father all the children single-handedly, age caught
up with him. It was determined that he and his wife could become the
parents of the new generation, by being present at mass blessings of
marriages. Tens of thousands of couples may participate at one time.
Moon, now 82, believes himself the Messiah, but not immortal.
Therefore, these affairs must be conducted as widely and quickly as
possible. A big one just occurred near Washington, D.C., Dec. 7, 2002.
That, folks, is the hard truth about the world's largest Gnostic
Sex-Cult Freak Show.
Is your rabbi, imam, priest, or pastor co-habiting with the devil? Is
he sporting a new gold watch, perhaps a new girlfriend, or a
Moon-blessed wife? Do you, including the unchurched among you, imagine
yourselves free of this influence? When was the last time you picked
up a copy of a publication in science, culture, history, or any field
of intellectual endeavor, that did not have the imprimatur of the
Russell-Wells "no-soul gang" stamped all over it? Have you any
independent thought respecting man and nature, which is not derived
from, or influenced in some way, by the philosophical premises of the
"no-soul" gang? Think about it. Much is riding on your conclusion.

Niels Bohr nexus of control leading into the 1970 re-publication of
Thomas Kuhn's Structure of Scientific Revolutions, the question arose:
How did this operation become integrated into the Moonie empire,
beginning 1972, with the prominent assistance of Leo Szilard's
partner, Eugene Wigner? A re-reading of Wells' The Open Conspiracy,
pointed to the significance of Buchman's Oxford Group/Moral
Re-Armament Movement, which spawned the Moon cult, as the tactical
realization of Wells' call for a mass peace movement. A closer look at
the Unity of Science doctrine combined with the second part of Wells'
"modern Bible scheme," his Science of Life, helped to answer a
question which had been part of the immediate motivation for this
research: Who killed science?
The EIR archive of unpublished reports dating back to 1978 proved an
invaluable source of material. An overview was provided by re-reading
of the 1980 work The New Dark Ages Conspiracy, a book-length
elaboration by his collaborators of LaRouche's original thesis on the
Russell-Wells "no-soul gang."

of Tiempos del Mundo newspaper in Buenos Aires.
[3] Russell's perversely warped attitudes toward his fellow man may
find partial explanation in the perverse circumstances of his early
life. Bertrand Russell was born on May 18, 1872. Before the age of
four, he had lost both his parents, and in the midst of a shocking
scandal, landed at the Richmond Parks Estate of his grandfather, Lord
John Russell. The tale unfolded as follows.
When Bertrand's mother succumbed to diphtheria in 1874, the father
John (Russell) Lord Amberley, anxious over his son's religious
upbringing, appointed as guardians two men who were avowed atheists.
The first was his own godfather, Cobden-Sanderson. The second was D.A.
Spalding, a young biologist in the Huxley mold, specializing in the
study of animal instincts. Spalding was already serving the Amberleys
as tutor for Bertrand's older brother, and entered an advanced stage
of consumption while in the family's employ.
When Bertrand's father died, two years after his mother, Lord
Amberley's papers revealed the reason why Spalding could never become
the legal guardian. As the adult Russell later described it:
"Apparently upon grounds of pure theory, my father and mother decided
that although [Spalding] ought to remain childless on account of his
tuberculosis, it was unfair to expect him to remain celibate. My
mother, therefore, allowed him to live with her, though I know of no
evidence that she derived any pleasure from doing so." Upon disclosure
of this matter after the father's death, both Spalding and
Cobden-Sanderson renounced their claims, and the young Russell thus
ended up with his wicked grandfather. (See, Ronald W. Clark, The Life
of Bertrand Russell [New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1976], pp. 23-26.)
There is a reason behind every evil. To know what makes an adversary
so, as Shakespeare's Henry VI, Part 3 explains the case for the
consummate tyrant Richard III, is to better know how to bring forth
good from his defeat.

al., The New Dark Ages Conspiracy (New York: New Benjamin Franklin

[5] The manuscript of Deeks' work, The Web of the World's Romance, had
been received at Macmillan publishers in, Toronto at the same time
that Wells claims to have begun work on his history, published a year
and-a-half later by Macmillan, New York. When Miss Deeks received her
rejected manuscript, after an eight-month wait, it was tattered and
dog-eared. A year or so later, when Wells' Outline of History
appeared, Miss Deeks noticed extraordinary similarities to her own
work, even to the repeating of certain errors she had later corrected,
and the use of passages she had taken (she feared, too liberally) from
John Richard Green's Short History.
Lawsuits brought in six different jurisdictions from Toronto to London
were all to no avail against the powerful connections of Wells. Wells
could not afford to admit his guilt. The fortune he made from this
work established his financial security. See A.B. McKillop, The
Spinster and the Prophet: H.G. Wells, Florence Deeks, and the Case of
the Plagiarized Text (New York: Four Walls Eight Windows, 2002).
[6] The charge of Hess's membership in Buchman's cult is both credible
and interesting. Long before he met Hitler, Hess was a member of
satanist Aleister Crowley's Isis cult, known as the Ordo Templi
Orientes, which crossed over into Crowley's satanic Order of the
Golden Dawn, popular among students at Cambridge and Oxford. Born in
Egypt, Hess bought an Egyptian sarcophagus for his burial, but proved
too tall to fit in it; when he died, his legs had to be amputated and
buried separately.
After the Munich putsch of 1923, Hess shared a jail cell with Hitler
for nine months at the same time Mein Kampf was being written, by aid
of frequent visits from its real author, Bertrand Russell's friend
Karl Haushofer. Recall that Mein Kampf foresaw an alliance between
Germany and England to fight the Russian peril. It is supposed that
Hess helped Hitler, to a deeper understanding of the occult.
When Hess parachuted into Scotland in 1941, to seek a separate peace,
he landed at the estate of the Duke of Hamilton, one of many former
Nazis among the British aristocracy. Hess was representing a group of
army officers and industrialists who wanted to save Germany from what
they saw as sure defeat under Hitler. But Churchill would have none of
ithe wanted Europe to bleed a good while longer. Hess was imprisoned
in Britain for the remainder of the war.
[7] Charles Madge was a surrealist poet, who received British
government funding, in the late 1930s, for a new type of sociology
project he called "Mass Observations." The project came under
direction of anthropologist Bronislaw Malinowski, and was later
brought under the auspices of the London Tavistock Institute.
Tavistock was founded in 1921 as a London clinic specializing in
treatment of shell-shock victims from World War I. In World War II,
the clinic became the core of the Psychiatric Division of the British
Army under direction of Brig. John Rawlings Rees. After the war, many
of the leading brainwashers were dispatched to the United States to
work on the secret mind-control projects of the Pentagon and CIA,
including the MK-Ultra project for the study of LSD and hallucinogens.
One of the major projects was a historical review of cults as a means
of social control.
[8] Cf. Anton Chaitkin, "The Mob That Moon Really Married," EIR, Dec.
12, 1997.
[9] "America is our Father," wrote Fukuzawa in Japan's first newspaper
Jiji Shinpo, which he founded. "I regard the human being as the most
sacred and responsible of all orders, unable therefore, in reason, to
do anything base. So in self-respect, a man cannot change his sense of
humanity, his loyalty, or anything belonging to his man-hood, even
when driven by circumstances to do so," Fukuzawa wrote. Another leader
of the Meiji group, Shigenobu Okuma, wrote in his study Fifty Years of
the New Japan that without the "U.S.A. as chaperone," Japan might be
just another colonial satrapy. (Kathy Wolfe, "Hamilton's Ghost Haunts
Washington from Tokyo," EIR, Jan. 3, 1992.)
[10] While American students are now taught the treasonous falsehood
that British East India Company employee Adam Smith was the founder of
their economic system, Japanese students still learn of the real
American System, and study the works of Alexander Hamilton, E. Peshine
Smith, Friedrich List, and others. The relative strength of Japanese
industrial-productive capability (up through the recent onset of a
depression caused by acquiescence to globalist, monetarist demands),
as compared to America's long-dead productive economy, derived from
Japan's continued emphasis on the American System in its economics and
industrial engineering training.
[11] England succeeded in pulling Japan behind her in the First World
War. The United States entry on behalf of England meant postponing the
U.S.-Japanese military confrontation sought by the British. But the
two principal military defense plans of the United States in the 1920s
and into the 1930s were War Plan Red and War Plan Orange. The first
was for the contingency of a British attack; the second, in case of a
Japanese attack.
[12] See, Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr., "How Bertrand Russell Became an
Evil Man: Reflections Upon Tragedy and Hope," Fidelio, Fall 1994, for
a precisely focussed historical-philosophical treatment. This was
LaRouche's first major work, after emerging from a five-year
imprisonment arranged by friends of Henry Kissinger.
[13] See, Jeffrey Steinberg, "From Cybernetics to Littleton:
Techniques of Mind Control," EIR, May 5, 2000, for a shocking report
of the premeditated brainwashing of America carried out by the
disciples of Wells, Russell, Huxley, et al.
Also see, Michael J. Minnicino, "The New Dark Age: The Frankfurt
School and 'Political Correctness,' " Fidelio, Winter 1992.
[14] Ever since Thomas Huxley pressed the recluse Charles Darwin to
write up his disparate observations in the form of a racialist theory
of evolution, the guidelines for biology have been the same. Assert:
1) that man is not different from a beast; 2) that living processes
are not distinct from randomly ordered physical processes. The modern
project to turn biology into a subset of inorganic physics, known as
molecular biology, got under way in the 1940s under the leadership of
two retooled physicists of the "no-soul" gang, Niels Bohr's student
Max Delbruck, and Leo Szilard. The two guided subsequent developments,
Szilard by dominating 1950s sessions at the Long Island, N.Y. Cold
Spring Harbor Laboratory (originally named the Cold Spring Harbor
Eugenics Laboratory, when it was inaugurated under Harriman and
Rockefeller family funding).
Later, that administrative role passed on to James D. Watson. Watson,
who bragged in his book The Double Helix, of stealing his leads for
the structure of DNA from private letters of Linus Pauling, was a
product of Deweyite elementary education and the University of Chicago
High School, before moving on to Hutchins' University. "The devil made
me do it," might be his most honest line of defense.
[15] Some scholars believe this is the origin of the term, No-bell
Prize.
[16] Wigner had known Szilard since school days in Budapest, when the
two supported the short-lived Communist revolution of Bela Kun. In
1938, Wigner joined Szilard in talking Einstein into signing the
famous letter to President Roosevelt, which caused Roosevelt to begin
the secret Manhattan Project to build the atomic bomb. Most of the
scientists working on it thought they had to, to prevent Hitler from
getting it first. Szilard and Wigner wanted the bomb for Wells and
Russell's reason: to attain the superweapon that could force nations
to submit to a world empire. Wigner was later the beneficiary of
$200,000 in honoraria from Moon.
[17] Russell's 1913 work should long ago have been withdrawn from
sale, and full refunds issued to all purchasers. In 1931, Kurt Gödel
toppled the ivory tower of Russell's formal-logical utopia, and in
principle all of logical-positivism, in a work entitled "On Formally
Undecidable Propositions of Principia Mathematica and Related
Systems."
Gödel, although a devoted follower of Leibniz, restricted himself in
that work to a formal-logical refutation of Russell's doctrine.
Russell was, thus, devastatingly refuted on his own chosen field of
battle. However, the underlying assumption of Russell, that truth can
be expressed by means of a formal system, had already been refuted
2,500 years earlier in Plato's series of dialectical refutations of
the Eleatic school, culminating in the Parmenides.
Preceding the Principia Mathematica, Russell had authored a
book-length attack on the philosophy of Gottfried Leibniz, and a
failed attempt to refute Carl Friedrich Gauss's leading student,
Bernhard Riemann, on the subject of geometry.
[18] Albert Wohlstetter became the intellectual father of two naughty
children: Richard Perle, and the insane doctrine known as Discriminate
Deterrence. Wohlstetter was a graduate student of Ernest Nagel at
Columbia, and a member of a Trotskyist splinter group called the
League for a Revolutionary Party, headed by B.J. Fields. He broke with
that, and in the early 1950s began his career in the Rand Corporation.
The Rand think-tank was an outgrowth of the same Russell-Wells Utopian
circles which had pushed for the napalm bombing of civilian
populations in Germany, and the needless and cruel dropping of the
atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Wohlstetter became a leader in
that grouping of military incompetents who specialized in devising
gaming scenarios, whereby the U.S. would supposedly get an advantage
over the Soviets in the Cold War, without actually exploiting any new
physical principle. It was all modeled on the ideas of Wells, Russell,
and Szilard.
The other child looked human, even to the big, pouty face. Richard
Perle met Wohlstetter when he was a teenager in California in the
1950s, dating his daughter. He dropped the daughter but kept on with
her father. "It was a close personal friendship, as well as an
intellectual relationship," the Washington Post of Nov. 24, 1987
explained. "Wohlstetter's ideas became Perle's ideas; his network
Perle's; and, as Perle travelled through the bureaucratic catacombs of
Washington, his first mentor remained on call."
Today Perle's views include his frequent calls for unilateral,
pre-emptive strikes against Iran, Iraq, and any other Islamic country
he chooses, with or without evidence. Perle is a Vietnam era draft
dodger, which seems to qualify him to chair the Defense Policy Board.
In that capacity, he is a frequent traveller abroad purporting to
represent the views of the United States.
[19] Neurath was a Viennese communist. In his late 1920s manifesto,
titled Wissenschaftliche Weltauffassung (Scientific World Outlook), he
spelled out the movement's aims:
"[T]he goal ahead is unified science. The endeavour is to link and
harmonize the achievements of individual investigators in their
various fields of science. From this aim follows the emphasis on
collective efforts, and also the emphasis on what can be grasped
intersubjectively; from this springs the search for a neutral system
of formulae, for a symbolism freed from the slag of historical
languages. Neatness and clarity are strived for, and dark distances
and unfathomable depths rejected."
Striving for "neatness and clarity," Neurath himself would soon be
working on his greatest contribution, the icon system known as
ISOTYPE, which would allow one to distinguish the men's room from the
ladies' in international airports.
[20] Kuhn's book, still widely read on campuses today, was first
published by the University of Chicago Press in 1962, as Volume 2,
Number 2 of the Encyclopedia of Unified Science; it was reissued by
the same press in 1970, and subsequently.
The fraud behind Kuhn's popularized term "paradigm shift" is very
simple. Kuhn does not believe in truth. Apart from his incompetent
interpretation of nearly every actual breakthrough in science, Kuhn
does not suppose any such breakthrough to be a matter of actual human
progress. Kuhn's "normal science" is H.G. Wells' doctrine of the
scientist as "worker bee," as elaborated in The Open Conspiracy.
Military intelligence officers who investigated Unification Church
operations in Washington in the 1970s and '80s, report that the
recruitment device used on ranking, conservative political and
military officials was to hold weekly orgies, arranged by Col. Bo Hi
Pak, the Unification Church official who was a top officer of the
Korean Central Intelligence Agency (KCIA). The special treat at these
affairs were the "Little Angels"Korean schoolgirls brought over by
Moon as a singing group. The photo files from these sessions are
reported to be a powerful influence in certain circles to this very
day.
The `No-Soul' Gang
Behind Reverend Moon's
Gnostic Sex Cult
by Larry Hecht
http://www.larouchepub.com/other/2002/2949moonification.html
(Excerpts)
It is just that unwillingness to think evil, ... that may presently
erase the British from the scroll of living significant peoples.
H.G. Wells, Experiments in Autobiography
Back in the 1970s, when the Reverend Sun Myung Moon's Gnostic Sex-Cult
Freak Show was in its mass recruiting phase, the "Moonies" were the
American parent's worst nightmare. Moon was the zombie-maker, the
body-snatcher, who came in the nightor when the children were away at
college, and stole their souls away. There was much basis in fact for
this fear, as anyone who had ever looked into the vacant eyes or
attempted to converse with the vacated mind of a "Moonie" will recall.
Today, this lunatic leader of a mass cult is the titular head of a
multitrillion-dollar, worldwide apparatus of government
influence-peddling and control that knows no equal. Moon literally
owns whole countries in South America and Asia. His apparatus is
rapidly buying up the U.S. Congress, the Presidency, and all potential
opposition forces of left, right, and center. Moon's stock-in-trade is
cash and sexlots of it. The cash comes from the worldwide drug- and
gun-running operations, part of which came to the surface in the
Iran-Contra scandal: cocaine from the South American trade run under
cover of the Moon-linked CAUSA group; heroin from Afghanistan and the
Far East, laundered through dirty-money operations of the Moon cult
that overlapped Ollie North's extracurricular activities while at the
National Security Council.
The sex is a specialty of Moon's own Gnostic "family" cult. Remember
the Congressional Madam scandals of the 1970s, featuring Tong Sun Park
and Suzy Park Thomson? That was just the tip of the iceberg of "The
Reverend" Moon's sexual-favors operation. Military intelligence
officers who investigated Unification Church operations in Washington
in the 1970s and '80s, report that the recruitment device used on
ranking, conservative political and military officials was to hold
weekly orgies, arranged by Col. Bo Hi Pak, the Unification Church
official who was a top officer of the Korean Central Intelligence
Agency (KCIA). The special treat at these affairs were the "Little
Angels"Korean schoolgirls brought over by Moon as a singing group.
The photo files from these sessions are reported to be a powerful
influence in certain circles to this very day.
But they didn't stop at Congressmen and high-ranking military. Moon
now owns the religious right from Jerry Falwell to Gary Bauer, and has
bought up most of the independent black ministers, the former base of
the civil rights movement, to boot. Moon uses his ample supplies of
money, gold-plated watches minted in his own factories, and his
private stock of "Asian brides" for the most corrupt. Moon also owns a
substantial chunk of the business operations of Louis Farrakhan's
Nation of Islam. Farrakhan has been appearing regularly at
Moon-sponsored events since 1996, in one case on the same podium with
former Attorney General Richard Thornburgh, and former Vice President
Dan Quayle. After the events of ***@nd11, Moon focused his sights on the
traditional Muslim religious community, and is making inroads into
mosques across America.
Moon also runs the central control points of world academic opinion.
Through his International Conferences for the Unity of Science and
Federation of World Professors, Moon pays six-digit honoraria to
leading scientists, with emphasis on using their reputations to
promote population control, artificial intelligence, and world
federalism. Moon owns the second major daily in the national capital
of the world's greatest power, the Washington Times, and the second
largest wire service, United Press International. He controls
industries around the world, ranging from food production and
distribution to arms manufacture, including the original producers of
the Thompson sub-machine gun.
Sen. Joseph Lieberman (D-Conn.) recently received the 2002
"Truman-Reagan Freedom Award" from the Moonie front group, the Victims
of Communism Memorial Foundation. In 2000, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.)
presided over the award presentation. The president of this
Foundation, Lee Edwards, is the editor of the Sun Myung Moon magazine,
The World and I. Its public liaison officer is society editor of
Moon's Washington Times. Included on the National Advisory Council of
this Moonie front are: former National Security Adviser Zbigniew
Brzezinski; former Senators Robert Dole, Dennis DeConcini, and
Claiborne Pell; former UN Ambassador and now head of the American
Enterprise Institute Jeane Kirkpatrick; the head of the Heritage
Foundation; and many more officials of "respectable" organizations and
talking heads you see on television every day.
So Who, or What Is Moon?
So who really is the Rev. Sun Myung Moon, and what is behind him? The
answer is not what you think. The Moon operation is not a simple case
of penetration by a foreign intelligence agency. He is neither a
right-wing conspiracy, nor a Communist plot, nor a creation of Jewish
bankers. Nor is he the special property of some all-powerful secret
society, as dreamed of by some populist-minded conspirophile.
To understand what makes the Moon clock tick, is to know the real
history of the 20th Century, not the fairytale version set forth in
schoolbooks and newsstand gossip sheets. We shall show you in this
article that the Moon cult is the spinoff of two British intelligence
operations of the 1920s and 1930s, in which the figures of Bertrand
Russell and H.G. Wells play the prominent role. We shall begin by
briefly summarizing these two operations. Then, to make sense of them,
we shall go back in history to the beginning of the past century, and
even a bit earlier, to discover the motives and means by which these
things could be carried out. It is a shocking story, but a coherent
one. Stay focused, and you can grasp it.
The two operations of Wells and Russell from which Moon sprung are
these:
The Moral Re-Armament Movement, founded at a 1921 meeting between a
wacky Lutheran preacher from Philadelphia and two British delegates to
the Washington Disarmament Conference, Lord Arthur Balfour and H.G.
Wells. Moral Re-Armament became the mass organizational vehicle for
implementation of Wells' 1928 call in The Open Conspiracy, for a
worldwide movement for draft resistance. The environment of Moon's
Korean ministry was under control of Moral Re-Armament when he was
picked up as an intelligence asset during the Korean War.
The Unity of the Sciences movement. Founded in 1935 under the
supervision of Lord Bertrand Russell and John Dewey, it brought
together Trotskyite academics Albert Wohlstetter (mentor of current
Defense Policy Board Chairman Richard Perle), Sidney Hook, and Ernest
Nagel, with members of the radical-positivist Vienna Circle. Merging
with Robert M. Hutchins at the University of Chicago in the 1950s,
this operation took over the teaching of science in the United States.
Thomas Kuhn's widely read fraud, The Structure of Scientific
Revolutions, was published as the second volume of their Encyclopedia
of Unified Sciences. In 1972, the Moonies were given the Unity of
Sciences franchise, sponsoring the first of their still-ongoing
International Conferences of the Unity of Sciences. Their early
sessions featured such notables as Manhattan Project physicist Eugene
Wigner, the lifelong ally of that truly mad scientist Leo Szilard (the
model for Dr. Strangelove, in Stanley Kubrick's film of that name),
and environmental fascists Alexander King and Aurelio Peccei, founders
of the no-growth Club of Rome.
Before looking back to the history of these projects, let us first
briefly dispense with the person of Rev. Sun Myung Moon. Moon as a
personality is of very little importance, in himself. The real
Reverend Moon is a pathetic, if nonetheless nasty, victim of Japanese
internment and North Korean torture sessions. He is what the
professional mindbenders who operate under military intelligence cover
call a synthetic personality, just the right sort of material for
running a cult operation. Born in 1920, Moon had received some
training as an engineer when he was first imprisoned by the Japanese
during their extended occupation of Korea. Early in the Korean War,
Moon was taken prisoner in the North and subjected to the hideous
physical and mental torture that became well known to Americans of the
time. Moon describes his so-called religious conversion while in North
Korean imprisonment as "my brainwashing."
A sample or two of Moon's "philosophy" tells it all. Here is the
Reverend Moon on the subject of the meaning of life:
The purpose of Life, into which we all are born, for a man is woman,
and for a woman is man. Man and woman are born to live for each other.
The harmony of their body shapes, and of their organs of love are
simply made so.
If you truly understand this fact, you have mastered more truth and
more precious wisdom than an entire encyclopedia. God, the Great King
of wisdom, has placed our organs of love in each other's custody. Thus
the true master of the organ of love which a man or woman possesses is
not that person at all, but is their loving spouse....
He made these comments before the 15th conference of the International
Conference on the Unity of Sciences in 1986. Moon has something of an
obsession with sex and the sexual organs. A former Moonie and leader
of one of Moon's pro-Vietnam War front groups, recalled this anecdote:
I remember a day at Belvedere [the Moonies' Tarrytown, New York
training camp] in May of 1973 during a leadership conference. Moon had
just finished a short speech, and he then asked for general questions.
I rose to my feet to address him. I said, "as a One World Crusade
Commander, I frequently encounter the problem of homosexuality among
our men." I asked him if there was anything we could do to help these
people.
He replied: "Tell them that if it really becomes a problem to cut it
off, barbecue it, put it in a shoe box, and send it to me." The
audience roared with laughter.[1]
Or another sample of the profound depths of Moon's thought:
When you defecate, do you use a mask? This is no laughing matter, this
is serious. When you were kids, did you ever taste the cooties from
your nose? ... Why didn't you feel they were dirty? Because that's a
part of your body. The Reverend Moon has discovered something that no
one else had thought about.[2]
1. It All Began at Appomattox
If the lunatic Moon is not the maker of his own madhouse, who is? The
best way to answer that question is to take a closer look at the
designers of the operation that produced Moon, and the forces which
shaped them.
Introducing: Russell and Wells
Most literate people know Herbert George (H.G.) Wells as a writer of
science-fiction stories. Bertrand Russell, his chief partner in evil,
is best known as a philosopher, mathematician, human rights activist,
and pacifistthis, despite his repeated calls for a pre-emptive
nuclear strike against the Soviet Union, and his often-expressed
desire that the spread of epidemic disease might reduce the world's
population every generation or so. Yet even with such correction (the
truth of which the present-day Russell acolyte, Noam Chomsky, was
forced to concede at a recent public appearance at Rice University in
Houston), one does not arrive at a true picture of these men, or their
role in the world.[3]
Russell and Wells, who orchestrated so much of the evil of the 20th
Century, were by birth and upbringing, men of the 19th Century, grown
to manhood under the British Empire at the peak of its power, nursed
on the tales of Kipling and the notion of the inborn superiority of
the Anglo-Saxon race. Yet, they were clever enough to foresee its
demise, and early on set themselves to the task of shaping a new world
empire, more fearful and more evilly conceived than the openly
declared global tyranny which was Victorian England. In his
Experiments in Autobiography, Wells wrote of his own childhood:
In those days I had ideas about Aryans extraordinarily like Mr.
Hitler's. The more I hear of him the more I am convinced that his mind
is almost the twin of my thirteen-year-old mind in 1879; but heard
through a megaphoneandimplemented. I do not know from what books I
caught my first glimpse of the Great Aryan People going to and fro in
the middle plains of Europe, spreading east, west, north, and south
... whose ultimate triumphs everywhere squared accounts with the Jews
... I have met men in responsible positions, L.S. Amery, for example,
Winston Churchill, George Trevelyan, C.F.G. Masterman, whose
imaginations were manifestly built upon a similar framework and who
remained puerile in their political outlook because of its
persistence.
(Wells only fails to note that the similarity of Hitler's outlook to
the British one arises because Hitler was, like Moon, a synthetic
personality and product of British-intelligence occult bureau and
psywar penetration operations run into Germany at the beginning of the
century.)
The Russells were an English noble family that came to prominence in
the reign of Henry VIII, with the rise of John Russell, First Earl of
Bedford. The Earl Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) of whom we speak, was
the grandson of Lord John Russell (1792-1878), twice prime minister
during the reign of Queen Victoria. Grandfather Russell, who raised
young Bertrand, was an intimate of British spymaster and longtime head
of the Foreign Office, Lord Palmerston. Palmerston managed a veritable
zoo of agents of all stripes, particularly of the radical anarchist,
and communist varietyMazzini, Bakunin, and Karl Marx among them. A
specialty of the house was the technique that came to be known as
"Balkanization," the breaking up of a nation or opposing empire into
divided parts. China, India, and much of Africa were subjugated this
way, and Europe and Russia successfully held at bay.
But the great prize was the United States, the lost colony, whose
reconquest was a central concern of British policy from 1783 onward.
The Civil War was the last great effort to accomplish this goal by
force of arms. Palmerston's agents in the Confederacy included
Secretary of War Judah Benjamin and Teddy Roosevelt's uncle, James
Bulloch. who else. But Palmerston lived just long enough to see the
defeat of the Confederacy, Lee's surrender at Appomattox, and the
immediately following assassination of President Lincoln by one of his
disposable agents.
By the time that Palmerston died on Oct. 18, 1865, the world was
forever changed. The United States was now a land power, with the
greatest army on the face of the Earth, and an industrial base that
would shortly surpass England's own. If it was to be reconquered, it
would have to be by subversion and deceit. The question of how,
exactly, that might be accomplished, occupied the thought and
discussion of several generations of the British elite.
Agnostics and Gnostics
Bertrand Russell came to his position by birth. Herbert George Wells
(1866-1946), who played Sancho Panza to Russell's Don Quixote, was a
commoner, the son of a gardener and a house servant. Wells first
gained access to the upper classes through the encouragement of Thomas
Huxley, a biologist and prominent figure in the British intellectual
elite. In 1884, the 18-year-old Wells received a scholarship from the
London Department of Education to study at the Normal School of
Science in South Kensington. His chosen field was biology; his teacher
Thomas Huxley. Here was Huxley's view of the science of biology, as
described in an 1889 essay, "The Nineteenth Century":
I know of no study which is utterly saddening as that of the evolution
of humanity. Man emerges with the marks of his lowly origin strong
upon him. He is a brute, only more intelligent than the other brutes,
a blind prey to impulses, a victim to endless illusions, which makes
his mental existence a burden, and fills his life with barren toil and
battle.
Wells broke off his science education to pursue a writing career.
Through Huxley, Wells gained entree to his first publisher, Astor's
Pall Mall Gazette, and later to fellow Metaphysical Society member
Lord Arthur Balfour. Ten years after leaving college, Wells wrote of
Huxley, "I believed then he was the greatest man I was ever likely to
meet, and I believe that all the more firmly today."
The key to the evil worldview of both Russell and Wells is already
summarized in the philosophy of Huxley, an influential figure among
avant garde intellectuals at the height of the British Empire. He was
a leading member of the Metaphysical Society, which was founded in
1869 in an attempt to forge a more effective intellectual elite out of
the membership of the Oxford Essayists and Cambridge Apostles. At a
meeting of the society, Huxley coined the term agnosticism, an idea
that would play out later in the conceptions of Wells, Russell, and
the followers of the Reverend Moon. The atheist denied God exists. The
agnostic left that question open. Instead, he denied the ability of
man to actually know anything. Here in this conception, actually only
a re-working of a metaphysics common to Aristotle, Hume, and Kant, was
the "no-soul" doctrine which is at the heart of the Open Conspiracy.
Huxley outlined the tenets of his agnosticism before a meeting of the
British Association for the Advancement of Science in 1874:
No evidence can be found for supposing that any state of consciousness
is the cause of change in the motion of matter of the organism.... The
mind stands relegated to the body as the bell of the clock to the
works, and consciousness answers to the sound which the bell gives out
when it is struck.
We will find this same view enunciated later by Wells, Russell, and
the Ernst Mach-influenced Vienna Circle which gave rise to Russell's
Unity of the Sciences movement in the mid-1930s. But agnosticism, is
only Gnosticism in disguise, and in this form, as a reincarnation of
the ancient cult heresy, we shall find it at the heart of the
"theology" of the Rev. Sun Myung Moon.
The Coefficients
In his autobiographical account, written years later, Wells described
the dilemma facing Britain at the time he was attending the monthly
sessions of the elite Coefficients Club. The Coefficients was a cross
between a diners club and a modern think-tank, which met monthly over
dinners at London's St. Ermin's Hotel from 1902 to 1908.
Among the members of this unappetizing group was the powerful Lord
Robert Cecil, elder statesman of Britain's most powerful family, and
cousin to Arthur Balfour, then serving as Conservative Prime Minister.
Lord Alfred Milner, the High Commissioner of South Africa, was a
regular. A factional ally of Milner's in the serious debate that went
on at these affairs was Halford Mackinder, the newly appointed head of
the London School of Economics and originator of the doctrine of
geopolitics, who Hitler's ghostwriter for Mein Kampf, Maj.-Gen. Karl
Haushofer, acknowledged as his source. Another Milner ally was Leo
Amery, later intimate of Winston Churchill. The Earl Bertrand Russell
was there, sometimes making up a faction of one. The Viscount Edward
Grey, a hereditary peer who was to play a crucial role in shaping the
post World War I era, attended regularly. Sidney and Beatrice Webb,
Fabian socialists who would soon embrace Benito Mussolini, were
regulars. The Webbs, who were solidly middle-class academics, were
credited with having organized the group, most of whose members became
part of a later formation, known variously as the Round Table,
Milner's Kindergarten, and the Cliveden Set. The name Coefficients
might have been a play on Mrs. Webb's incessant references to
improving "efficiency" in government.
Here is how Wells recalled the situation facing the Coefficients at
the beginning of the 20th Century:
The undeniable contraction of the British outlook in the opening
decade of the new century is one that has exercised my mind very
greatly.... Gradually, the belief in the possible world leadership of
England had been deflated, by the economic development of America and
the militant boldness of Germany. The long reign of Queen Victoria, so
prosperous, progressive, and effortless, had produced habits of
political indolence and cheap assurance. As a people we had got out of
training, and when the challenge of these new rivals became open, it
took our breath away at once. We did not know how to meet it....
[O]ur ruling class, protected in its advantages by a universal
snobbery, was broad-minded, easy-going, and profoundly lazy.... Our
liberalism was no longer a larger enterprise, it had become a generous
indolence. But minds were waking up to this. Over our table at St.
Ermin's Hotel wrangled Maxse, Bellairs, Hewins, Amery, and Mackinder,
all stung by the small but humiliating tale of disasters in the South
Africa war, all sensitive to the threat of business recession, and all
profoundly alarmed by the naval and military aggressiveness of
Germany, arguing chiefly against the liberalism of Reeves and Russell
and myself, and pulling us down, whether we liked it or not, from
large generalities to concrete problems.[4]
There were genuine differences as to how the defeat of the "new
rivals" was to be accomplished, but no dispute as to the goal. The
majority opinion converged on war, to set the European powers at each
other's throats. The seeds of that war, pitting France against
Germany, Germany against Russia, and Russia against Japan, had already
been sown in the decade of the 1890s. Russell took issue with that
view, at least ostensibly. During World War I he played the part of
pacifist. Russell argued that England could achieve the same goals
without being drawn into a world war: It could be done by clever
intelligence techniquespsychological warfare and manipulation. Thus
began his career as a "pacifist."
2. The Uses of Peace
We move ahead now to November 1918. The terrible war is over, England
saved by the last-minute military intervention of the United States.
Much of Europe is in ruins. The total dead on all sides number 8.5
million. Casualties number 37 million (9 million Russians, 7 million
Germans, 7 million from Austro-Hungary, 6 million French, 3 million
from the British Empire, 2 million Italians). Famine and disease are
everywhere. Influenza, typhus, cholera, diphtheria, and other scourges
kill more people in the immediate post-war period than died in battle.
The seeds of Hitler have already been sown in the unpayable burden of
reparations imposed upon defeated Germany by the Treaty of Versailles.
The idea of peace makes sense to people. But how shall it be
accomplished? Even as he wrote anti-German hate propaganda for the War
Office, Wells had been working with a team of old cronies from the
Coefficients Club on a new version of an old scheme: Subjugate the
sovereignty of individual nations to a supra-national government, with
its own army, navy, and air force, possessing a monopoly on modern
weaponry. His first writing on the subject dates to 1916. In January
1919, as Chairman of the League of Free Nations Association, he
publishes his call for world peace, titled "The Idea of a League of
Nations."
The argument, as Wells describes it: Modern war is total war; the
economic and human cost has become so great, it is intolerable. So
long as the threat of war exists, nations must expend an increasing
portion of their wealth on the maintenance of armies, navies, and air
services, and on scientific research to keep even with the potential
enemy. Only outmoded thinking and prejudices, such as appeals to
national patriotism, cause people to oppose his plan. If they would
only think about it, they would see that the British Empire is already
partially a world government:
What is there in common between an Australian native, a London
freethinker, a Bengali villager, a Uganda gentleman, a Rand negro, an
Egyptian merchant, and a Singapore Chinaman, that they should all be
capable of living as they do under one rule and one peace, and with a
common collective policy, and yet be incapable of a slightly larger
cooperation with a Frenchman, a New Englander, or a Russian?
The argument appears strikingly modern, only because the present-day
world is organized around the continued attempt to implement this plan
which originated in the needs of the British aristocracy a century
ago. Yet, as Wells admits in his draft, it is not modern at all. It is
an attempt to return to periods of weak nation-states such as the
Middle Ages or the Roman Empire. It was only with the Italian
Renaissance, Wells argues, that the idea of powerful nation-states
threatened unity. Wells will attempt to destroy the nation-state in
order to create a new world empire.
Moral Re-Armament: The Moon's Beginning
Wells' League of Nations proved a failure. The American people, among
others, did not buy it, and the Senate could not be brought to ratify
it. But the war for world empire, under the guise of "universal
peace," had only just begun.
In 1921, an international arms-control conference took place in
Washington, D.C., the first of a series known as the Washington
Disarmament Conferences. Frank Buchman, by outward appearance an
insignificant American Lutheran preacher, was invited to attend and
given an audience with two Englishmen. One was Arthur James Balfour,
head of the British Empire delegation and Lord President of the King's
Privy Council, who would sign the treaty twice, once for the King and
once for the Union of South Africa. The other was Balfour's longtime
associate from the days of the Coefficients Club, H.G. Wells, who was
attending the conference as reporter for an international array of
press syndicates.
Out of this meeting within a meeting came the founding of an
organization to be headed by Buchman, that came to be known as Moral
Re-Armament (MRA). Moral Re-Armament was, and remains to this day, an
influence-peddling and control operation, run as a pseudo-Christian
religious cult, much like the later Moon cult which it spawned. In
more ways than one, Frank Buchman was the Reverend Moon of the 1920s
and 1930s.
Frank Buchman's Rise
Born in Pennsburg, Pennsylvania in 1878, Buchman graduated from
Muhlenburg College, and later attended Pennsylvania State College. As
a Lutheran minister in a poor part of Philadelphia, he came into
contact with the American Friends Service Society. His entree into
intelligence circles appears to have originated on a trip to England
in 1908. There, in a small church, he claims he saw "a vision of the
cross" which changed his life. Whatever else happened on that trip,
Buchman on his return to the U.S.A., began moving in high circles, and
was soon a friend of the national chairman of the Democratic Party.
In 1915, Buchman began a tour of the Far East, sponsored by the Young
Men's Christian Association, one of many do-gooder organizations which
serve as a cover for international intelligence operations. (The
friendly YMCA had already been linked through the Moody Bible School
in Chicago, to the the 1881 assassination of President James Garfield,
the Civil War general and Lincoln admirer who vowed in his inaugural
address to enforce the Constitution against a racist reign of terror
in the South.) The Buchman itinerary included India, Korea, Japan, and
finally China. In Japan, he was personally greeted by Baron Mitsui,
head of Japan's largest cartel, and hosted by Baron Shibusawa, founder
of the Japanese Finance Ministry. Throughout his life, Buchman would
maintain extremely close ties with the powerful Mitsui, Shibusawa, and
Sumitomo families.
In 1917, Buchman arrived in China in the midst of a revolutionary
epoch during which Sun Yat Sen had briefly held power. It was here,
Buchman reports, that he perfected his method of influence-peddling
and control. Buchman's technique was a shade more subtle than Moon's.
Moon promises to satisfy his victim's craving for sexual satisfaction
in the obvious way. Buchman wins the confidence of his victim, in
order to control and manipulate his guilt. He called it his personal,
"confessional approach" for "remaking man." He had already begun
developing it while a graduate student at Penn State. Buchman put
forth a public posture of moral probity and abstinence, inviting
people to talk to him about their personal problems. Probing for the
issues on which they felt the most guilt, he would persuade them that
they could overcome their perceived weakness by confessing it to him,
and becoming a faithful follower. Buchman won over many people with
his technique, which became the trademark of Moral Re-Armament
recruitment tactics, aimed generally at people of power and influence.
Later, he also developed an ego-stripping technique, for mass
recruitment in larger social settings.
In China, Buchman and his two friends drew up a list of 15 of the most
influential Christians in Beijing. Sun Yat Sen was at the top of the
list. He got as far as the Vice Minister of Justice, later acting
Prime Minister, Hsu Ch'ien. Through Hsu, Buchman started a friendship
with Sun. "If sin is the disease," he told an audience of
missionaries, "we must deal with sin. Sin first of all in ourselves,
the 'little sins' that rob us of power and keep us from being able to
go out in deep sympathy to men in sin.' " But stories began to spread
about Buchman's own pecadilloes, and he was forced to leave China.
Still, Sherwood Eddy, the missionary who had brought Buchman to Asia,
wrote: "Buchman's work in China has developed by a growth of evolution
into a movement of immense proportions."
From China, Buchman made his way again to England. He arrived at
Oxford in 1921-22, and began to work his magic on a circle of
professors and students who were later to become known as the Oxford
Group. Most were veterans of the recent war, who gathered for
philosophical debate. Buchman would attempt to steer them into
discussions of their personal problems. Again scandal arose. There was
talk of exhibitionism occurring at the meetings, and the ever-present
suspicion of homosexuality, the bane of the British boarding school
system. Buchman himself never married, saying that God had not chosen
a partner for him.
His slogans, which became the "four pillars" of Moral Re-Armament,
were: 1) Absolute honesty; 2) Absolute purity; 3) Absolute love; 4)
Absolute unselfishness. Buchman's self-advertisement for his cause
sounded convincing enough:
Unless we deal with human nature thoroughly and drastically on a
national scale, nations will follow their historic road to violence
and destruction. You can plan a new world on paper, but you've got to
build it out of people.
We shall see in a moment what he means by this.
3. The Open Conspiracy
Despite the scandals, the Oxford circle continued to grow. In 1928,
Buchman, the posturing pseudo-Christian, received another boost from
the avowed atheist H.G. Wells, with the publication of the first
edition of Wells' The Open Conspiracy: Blue Prints for a World
Revolution. The contradiction in theologies is only apparent. For both
men, religion is a tool for power and social control. Through a study
of Wells' Open Conspiracy, we can come to understand how a Gnostic sex
cult such as Moon's, and a trained circus of pious peeping-toms such
as Buchman's, may become instruments for achieving the same end.
Remember, the goal of Wells, Russell, and company is the destruction
of the sovereign power of the nation-state, the United States above
all, and with it the elimination of a philosophical, cultural, and
religious tradition dating more than 2,500 years. Remember, this is to
be achieved not by the obvious methods but by subversion. It will be
accomplished in a manner that shall leave the typical patriot almost
completely blindsided. In opposing one side of the operation, he will
find himself embracing the same thing, from another side. Until he
troubles to actually understand the true nature of the enemy he is up
against, his impotent flailings will be not unlike the attempt to
wrestle with an invisible man.
What makes the "open conspiracy" open, is not the laying out of some
secret masterplan, not the revealing of the membership roster of some
inner sanctum of the rich and powerful, which the typical deluded
populist supposes to be the secret to power in the world. It is,
rather, the understanding that ideas, philosophy and culture, control
history. What constitutes a conspiracy, for good or evil, is a set of
ideas which embody a concept of what it is to be human, and a
conception of man's role in universal history. This Russell and Wells
understood, even if their definition of a human being, apparently
based on close, personal observation, was a two-legged ape that
babbles. Neither "Sancho Panza" Wells, nor the "Ingenious Hidalgo"
Russell, whose pretensions to philosophy we shall shortly expose, are
intellectual giants. The power of their evil lies only in their
possession of this bit of knowledge and the social connections to
propagate it. Follow them then, in your mind's eye, as we retrace
their crooked path which leads to the late 1960s unleashing of the
Moonie scourge upon America, producing an effect similar to that
achieved by the emptying of the world's largest loony-bin onto a
university campus.
The New World Religion
The purpose of the Open Conspiracy, Wells tells us, with no evident
shame, is the creation of a New World Religion. The first four
chapters of the 1928 work present his "theological" analysis:
The old faiths have become unconvincing, unsubstantial and insincere,
and though there are clear intimations of a new faith in the world, it
still awaits embodiment in formulae and organizations that will bring
it into effective reaction upon human affairs as a whole.
In the second chapter heading, he argues that the essence of religion
is the subordination of self. Though the majority may have difficulty
keeping to the strict teachings, there is a minority for whom "The
desire to give oneself to greater ends than the everyday life affords,
and to give oneself freely, is clearly dominant." This is the emotion
Wells and his friends hope to tap.
In the third chapter, "Need for a Restatement of Religion," Wells
hints at his plan for writing a new Bible:
Every great religion has explained itself in the form of a history and
a cosmogony. It has been felt necessary to say Why? and To What End?
Every religion has had necessarily to adopt the physical conceptions
and usually also to assume many of the moral and social values current
at the time of its foundation.... In these conditions lurked the seeds
of an ultimate decay and supersession of every religion.
Later in The Open Conspiracy, Wells will refer to his threefold
"modern Bible scheme." The first part (his replacement for Genesis and
the books of the prophets) was his The Outline of History, published
in 1920. Apparently Wells' Bible lacked an important one of the
commandments. Modern scholarship has determined that Wells stole this
multi-volume survey of the whole history of mankind (otherwise claimed
to have been written in the extraordinary span of 18 months!) from a
Canadian suffragist, Florence Deeks.[5]
The second part of Wells' Bible, his cosmogony, was even then being
written in collaboration with Julian Huxley and Wells' own son. Titled
The Science of Life, it was published in 1930 in four volumes. As
elaborated there, Wells' new religion is nothing but the Social
Darwinism he learned at the feet of Thomas Huxley, a crude appeal to
biological determinism. The reader is overcome with a mass of detail,
all conceived to promote the social policy of eugenics and birth
control for the engineering of a super-race. Every feature of modern
ecologism is already contained in this work.
The third part of the Bible according to Wells, was to be the Science
of Work and Wealth, his study of "economic and social organization
considered as the problem of man's exploitation of extraneous energy
for the service of the species." He never lived to complete it, or
perhaps the targetted author gave up "the ghost" first, before his, or
her, surplus energy could be exploited.
The Program of `The Open Conspiracy'
In the fourth chapter, Wells comes to the nub of the matter. Service
to an ideal, the desire for a better order, is the heart of religion.
His plan is to find a way to direct this powerful emotion to the
implementation of the program of the Open Conspiracy.
In a later chapter, he summarizes the program of The Open Conspiracy
in three clear and simple points:
Firstly, the entirely provisional nature of all existing governments,
and the entirely provisional nature, therefore, of all loyalties
associated therewith;
Secondly, the supreme importance of population control in human
biology and the possibility it affords us of a release from the
pressure of the struggle for existence on ourselves; and
Thirdly, the urgent necessity of protective resistance against the
present traditional drift towards war.
There is no clearer statement of the program of that influential
grouping which called itself, and came to be known as, the Utopians.
Buchman's Cue
The first and third points of Wells' program were to be the basis for
the first mass organizing project of the Open Conspiracy. Frank
Buchman's Oxford Group, the seed crystal for the Moral Re-Armament
Movement which was to spawn the Moonies, would be the vehicle. Wells
had spelled it out precisely in Chapter XII:
The putting upon record of its members' reservation of themselves from
any or all of the military obligations that may be thrust upon the
country by military and diplomatic effort, might very conceivably be
the first considerable overt act of Open Conspiracy groups. It would
supply the practical incentive to bring many of them together in the
first place. It would necessitate the creation of regional or national
ad hoc committees for the establishment of a collective legal and
political defensive for this dissent from current militant
nationalism. It would bring the Open Conspiracy very early out of the
province of discussion into the field of practical conflict.
But to promote a mass movement for peace after 1933, as Hitler was
mobilizing for war, with Russia the expected target, was not the job
for the communist movement. Some new sort of formation would be
required.
Buchman and his group of followers at Oxford had made a
well-publicized trip to South Africa in the late 1920s, where their
movement for peace was christened the Oxford Group. Senior university
officials soon embraced the group. B.H. Streeter, the provost of
Queen's College, Oxford, and a well-known New Testament scholar, made
public his support for Buchman at a 1934 meeting in Oxford Town Hall:
The reason that I have come tonight is to say publicly that I ought
now to cease from an attitude of benevolent neutrality towards what I
have come to believe is the most important religious movement today.
4. Nazis and Moonies
The Oxford Group spread its activities to other nations, becoming
especially strong in Norway, Japan, the U.S.A.and Hitler's Germany,
where SS/Gestapo chief Heinrich Himmler was a member! Naturally the
propaganda of the Moral Re-Armament Movement, which still exists to
this day, attempts to play down the Nazi connection. But the very name
Moral Re-Armament was announced by Buchman at a 1938 meeting at the
Waldlust Hotel, outside the city of Freudenstadt in Germany's Black
Forest. Buchman made numerous attempts to meet with Hitler. He was
granted an official exploratory interview with Himmler, through whom
Buchman hoped to get a date with Hitler, but it didn't work out. It
appears that Himmler could not persuade his bureaucracy. In his
biographical memoir, I Paid Hitler, Fritz Thyssen, the Catholic steel
industrialist who broke with the Nazi Party after Kristallnacht and
fled Germany, wrote that both Himmler and Deputy Reichsführer Rudolf
Hess were members of Moral Re-Armament. Like Moon today, Buchman
sought the big names.[6]
In 1937, the Oxford Group began a publication called The Rising Tide,
which also happens to have been the name of the paper of the Freedom
Leadership Foundation, the Moonie front group set up in 1969 as the
U.S. branch of the Moon-founded International Federation for Victory
over Communism. Buchman's magazine was called New World News, the same
as one put out later by Moon. The Moral Re-Armament singing group was
known as the Angels, the model for Moon's Little Angels children's
ballet.
The Peace Pledge
The signing of the Oxford Group's Peace Pledge, which called for
renouncing participation in any war (exactly as Wells had outlined),
became a vehicle for spread of the Wellsian movement among students in
the United States and elsewhere. The Peace Pledge Union, which
initiated the pledge, had been set up in 1936 by Bertrand Russell and
Aldous Huxley, before the two came to spread their evil in the United
States, Russell to Chicago and Huxley to California. This peace
movement for Hitler's war drive, reached a peak in 1938, when Moral
Re-Armament held rallies of 15,000 in New York and 30,000 in Los
Angeles. After the Nazi invasions of Poland and Czechoslovakia, the
Peace Pledge became a memory.
In England, Buchman had had the support of many wealthy and prominent
people reaching all the way to the future King, Edward VIII. In 1935,
a year before he assumed the crown, the Prince of Wales was a frequent
associate of Buchman's, according to royal biographer Charles Higham.
Edward's rule lasted only until 1938, when he was forced to resign,
ostensibly over a scandal involving his marriage to an American
divorcée. The real reason was his scandalous support for Adolf Hitler,
at a time when England was about to go to war. Buchman also had the
support of Dr. Gordon Cosmo Lang, the Archbishop of Canterbury who had
a weakness for seances and once formed a commission to investigate
psychic phenomena. Among Dr. Buchman's other British admirers were Sir
Samuel Hoare, Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin, the Earl of Clarendon,
the Marquess of Salisbury, and the Earl of Cork and Orrery.
Prominent American supporters of Buchman included Los Angeles Times
publisher Harry Chandlee, Hollywood movie magnate Louis Mayer of Metro
Goldwyn Mayer, and David Dubinsky, president of the International
Ladies Garment Workers Union.
As war became imminent, Buchman fell under public attack both in
Britain and the U.S.A. A widely publicized statement he had made to an
American newspaperman in August 1936 did not sit so well now. Buchman
had said: "I thank heaven for a man like Adolf Hitler who built a
front line of defence against the anti-Christ of communism." There
were investigations in the House of Parliament and the U.S. Congress,
centering on his demand for exempting his members from the military
draft as a religious group. The Catholic Primate of England, Cardinal
Hinsley, threatened excommunication to anyone who joined Buchman's
cause. The Jewish War Veterans Association condemned his open
anti-Semitism. The Episcopal paper, The Witness, exposed Buchmanism as
"a trap for labor" among other things. Much of Buchman's operations
were focused on Communist influence in the labor movement. To take
some of the heat, The Rev. James W. Fifield, pastor of a
Congregational Church in Los Angeles, stepped in as the front man for
the U.S. operations of Moral Re-Armament.
Buchman's Post-War Comeback
After World War II, Moral Re-Armament re-emerged as a major player in
the Cold War environment that dominated the period of reconstruction
of Europe and Japan. As the resistance movements of Italy, France,
Greece, and elsewhere had been dominated by Communist-run popular
fronts, it was no small task to disarm them and attempt to isolate the
Communist influence. Buchman's love affair with Hitler was so
well-known, it had to be mentioned in Peter Howard's official
propaganda biography of him, Frank Buchman's Secret, published in
1951. Nonetheless, the decision was made to go with him.
In 1946, a group of wealthy Swiss bought Buchman the 500-bed Caux
Palace Hotel on a breathtaking site, 3,000 feet above Lake Geneva,
which remains today the center of international activities for the
group. In 1949, Moral Re-Armament held a major conference at the Caux
Palace, renamed Mountain House. It was the sort of affair the Moonies
still dream of. There were 27 cabinet ministers and 118
parliamentarians from 26 nations in attendance, as well as trade union
chiefs from 35 countries. There was heavy stress on the
anti-Communist, Christian labor movement. Ex-Communist labor leaders,
among them a South Wales steel worker and a German miner, testified on
their conversion to Buchmanism. A bipartisan delegation of U.S.
Congressmen was flown in by military airplane. The biggest promoter of
MRA in the Congress, Karl E. Mundt, the South Dakota Republican who
won the Senate seat in 1948, couldn't make it, but sent a telegram of
support.
During the Marshall Plan debates, one-third of the U.S. Congress saw
the film "The Good Road," a movie version of the MRA's musical stage
show. Gen. Lucius Clay gave the show special permission to tour in
occupied Germany. The MRA targetted trade-union members in the Ruhr
region, especially miners. On Buchman's birthday in 1952, he received
telegrams from Richard Nixon, Willy Brandt in Germany, NATO commander
Gen. Hans Speidel, the chairman of the Democratic Socialist Party of
Italy, and a member of the French Chamber of Deputies, among others.
The penetration was so complete, that Buchman claimed such important
post-war figures as German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer, Italian Premier
Alcide De Gasperi, and French Foreign Minister Robert Schuman as
signators on some of his operations.
Aside from the formula "Communism = the Anti-Christ," Buchman's
preaching was centered on the family, the importance of mother, and
the code phrase "the truths you learned at your mother's knee."
Typical activities for members included acting in plays pushing the
MRA ideology, voluntary labor squads, and Bible study. A frequent
theme in the plays: A woman dressed entirely in red, known as Virtue,
is portrayed as stirring up labor-management disputes, and is finally
exposed as really being a "Red." Major centers of activity in the
United States were The Club in Los Angeles, a retreat on Mackinac
Island, Michigan, and one in Westchester County, New York.
Korean Orphans
The spread of Buchman's operations into Korea is suggestive of the
sort of base which may have provided the first members for Moon's
zombie cult. In the Nov. 3, 1952 issue of Moral Re-Armament's MRA
Information Service, there appeared an article about an island off the
Korean coast near the mouth of the Natkong River, called Jinoo Do. The
MRA article references the visit to the island of "an agent of the
Medway Plan Foundation, an organization devoted to human
rehabilitation." The Medway Plan appears to refer to a town in England
in which sociological studies, first run under the rubric of Charles
Madge's Mass Observations, and later incorporated under the London
Tavistock Institute, were carried out.[7] The Medway study took up the
relationship of sexual morality and work, focusing on the relationship
of preachers to their wives in the town of Medway.
Arriving on Jinoo Do, the Medway Plan representative found an island
inhabited by Korean orphans and juvenile delinquents, placed there by
the army in 1951. Under MRA supervision, the orphans had established a
"democratic town" there, policed and governed by themselves, and based
on Frank Buchman's precept that "human nature can be changed."
Everywhere one could find the slogans of Moral Re-Armament: "Absolute
Honesty," "Absolute Purity," "Absolute Unselfishness," "Absolute
Love." These, incidentally, became the slogans adopted by Moon. Other
slogans on this "Brave New World" in the Korean Straits read: "No
HatredNo FearNo Greed," or "New MenNew NationsNew World," or
"Jinoo DoPrinciple of citizen Life."
The CIA and Moral Re-Armament
In his 1989 book, The Game Player: Confessions of the CIA's Original
Political Operative, top spook Miles Copeland brags of the
intelligence agency's control over both Moral Re-Armament and L. Ron
Hubbard's Scientology movement. Copeland reports that he served in the
1950s as head of an agency entity known as The Political Action Staff.
Under this umbrella, his assistant, Bob Mandlestam, developed an
operation called "OHP," or "occultism in high places," described by
Copeland as "a theory of political activism based on an impressively
detailed study of ways in which leaders of the world based their
judgments on one form or another of divine guidance." One of
Mandlestam's projects was to "plant astrologists on certain world
leaders." Another was to deploy "mystics" in the Georgetown section of
Washington, D.C., home to many government figures, who would use
"voodoo magic," based on rites prescribed by the CIA itself, to
manipulate Congressmen.
As part of OHP, Copeland and Mandlestam began to utilize the Moral
Re-Armament movement, which "gave us useful secret channels right into
the minds of leaders, not only in Africa and Asia but also in Europe."
After this, Copeland writes:
When Bob made similar arrangements with Scientology, ... we were on
our way to having a political action capability which would make the
highly expensive, largely ineffective and largely overt "covert
action" of Bill Casey's CIA seem trivial by comparison. "MRA will him
'em high, and the Church of Scientology will hit 'em low!" Bob liked
to boast, and he was right.
Shocking as Copeland's revelations may seem, they barely scratch the
surface of the age-old practice of political manipulation by cults. We
will take up that matter, below, in the discussion of Moon's theology.
Moral Re-Armament Today
Moral Re-Armament continued to have a strong presence in the U.S.A.,
especially student layers, up into the 1960s founding of the
anti-Vietnam War movement. Despite its anti-Communist, right-wing
profile, Moral Re-Armament literature even found its way into the
early anti-Vietnam War movement, in which Bertrand Russell played a
guiding role. In the U.S.A., the campus-touring spokesman for the
anti-war movement in the 1963-64 period was Russell Stetler, a
Haverford College graduate student who had studied with Bertrand
Russell in London, and returned as the representative of Russell's
International War Crimes Tribunal.
MRA's Agenda for Reconciliation front group has been active in
Lebanon, Kenya, Sudan, Somalia, Ethiopia, and elsewhere. It was behind
the 1992 Clean Elections Campaign in Taiwan, a similar effort in
Kenya, and one in Ghana in the May 2000 election. The Moral
Re-Armament spinoff International Communications Forum held a big
conference in Sarajevo, Bosnia in September-October 2000. Its U.S.
headquarters are in Richmond, Virginia, where it runs an organization
called Hope in the Cities. Its Gente que Avanza group, active in Latin
America for more than 30 years, has trained 800 young people from 20
countries. Other fronts include Farmer's Dialogue, and a women's
organization called Creators of Peace.
With the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, Moral Re-Armament launched a
new front group, Foundations for Freedom, to penetrate into formerly
Communist countries. In 2001, Moral Re-Armament changed it name to
Initiatives of Change UK. It still holds international meetings at the
Caux, Switzerland site, around the theme of reconciliation among the
faiths. Tibetan Buddhism's Dalai Lama has attended twice, along with
Jewish, Islamic, and Christian leaders. It continues to intervene on
behalf of British grand strategy, using benign-sounding front groups
to carry out devious political ends. The "role of the individual as an
agent for change in an era of globalization," is a leading theme
today.
5. Moonrise Over Asia
The rise of Moon's Unification Church, out of the networks of the
Buchman Moral Re-Armament organization, took place in the immediate
aftermath of the Korean Warin a nation still occupied by hundreds of
thousands of U.S. troops, and governed by a dictatorship run from
Washington. The oft-told tale that Moon was a creation of the Korean
Central Intelligence Agency, and that the Moon penetration of America,
beginning in the 1960s, was primarily a foreign intelligence
penetration, is thus a half-truthand a misleading one. Moon was up
and down, a creation of the KCIA. But ask yourself: What was the
controlling force behind the KCIA? Think before you answer, for the
"obvious" here is also a trap. It was not "the CIA," as
populist-minded Americansand anti-Americansconceive of it. Behind
the popularly misused term, "the CIA," is something both more
interesting, and yet less mysterious, than most conspirophiles
imagine. If you truly wish to know dark secrets, seek out that
historical-cultural cauldron in which the midnight potions of the
Russell-Wells "No-Soul Gang" are brewed. Its intoxicating spells work
every bit as potently in Asia as in the West, as we shall soon
discover.
The Early Moon
Based on a 1997 profile by historian Anton Chaitkin and other sources,
Moon's biography prior to becoming a mass cult leader, can be
summarized thusly:
Yong Myung Mun (the name was later changed to fit a Gnostic doctrine)
was born in northwestern Korea in 1920. His parents converted to a
Pentecostal sect of the Presbyterian Church when he was about 10.
Under North Korean Communist rule in 1946, Moon set up his own
Pentecostal church, called the Jerusalem of the East (Kwang-ya). It
featured shouting, faith-healing, and a Moon innovation called
"blood-sharing." Based on pagan fertility rites, this was the
unlimited copulation of the pastor with his female followers. On
complaints from Christian churches, Moon was arrested by the North
Korean police in 1946 for adultery, and again in 1948. He was tried on
charges of bigamy and "social disorder," and condemned to five years
of hard labor in a prison camp in Hung-nam. After serving two and a
half years, he was released by advancing United Nations forces, and
made his way south. He soon left his wife, and, without divorcing her,
remarried and went back to holy blood-sharing.
Moon moved to Seoul, South Korea in 1954, where he set up the Holy
Spirit Association for the Unification of World Christianity, or
Unification Church. This occurred in connection with the founding of
the Asian People's Anti-Communist League, an organization in the orbit
of the Frank Buchman Moral Re-Armament grouping. Moon's lawyer at the
time was Robert Amory, deputy director of the Central Intelligence
Agency under Allen Dulles.
Moon was arrested by the Seoul police in July 1955 for indecent
activities causing "social disorder." The newspaper Segae reported
July 6, 1955 that dozens of upper-class and university women were
sexually involved with Moon. He was arrested again, later in 1955 for
his furious fornications. On Oct. 4, 1955, after intervention by
intelligence agencies, Moon was absolved of all accusations and freed.
There began his free and clear path to emergence as a world figure.[8]
Sasagawa and the Japan Connection
The first Unification Church missionary, Sang Ik-Choi, left Korea on
June 16, 1958 to set up operations in Japan. Specialists investigating
the origins and current funding channels of the Moon operation are
consistently led to the Japanese right-wing figure Ryoichi Sasagawa
(1899-1995). A brief digression into the Japan connection will help to
clarify the whys and wherefores of the curious rise to prominence of
the Reverend Moon's sex cult.
Sasagawa was a shipping magnate in 1930s Japan, associated with the
Mitsui Group, the trade and banking cartel which had always been
aligned with the British factional interest in Japan. Declared a Class
A war criminal (he had been an ardent fascist and regular visitor to
Hitler's Germany), Sasagawa, at first, had to keep a low profile
during the U.S. occupation. But his post-war fortune was rebuilt with
help of Gen. William H. Draper, Jr., the anti-population-growth
fanatic who founded the Draper Fund for Population Control and spent a
time in occupied Japan as Undersecretary of the U.S. Army. Later,
Sasagawa became honorary chairman of the Draper Fund, and was also a
co-founder of the Malthusian Club of Rome with Alexander King and
Aurelio Peccei. Sasagawa provided much of the official funding for the
Asian People's Anti-Communist League, set up June 15-18, 1954, in
Chinhae, South Korea, This then crossed over into Buchman's Moral
Re-Armament networks, and later became a central part of the Moon
operation.
In the late 1960s, just before his move to America, the Reverend Moon
made an arrangement with Yoshio Kodama, the post-war leader of the
3-million-strong Japan Youth Federation, which formed a cornerstone of
the World Anti-Communist League (WACL). Kodama had worked very closely
with Sasagawa during the 1960s and 1970s. After the meeting, Kodama's
lieutenant, Osami Kuboki, became Moon's chief executive for Japan, and
the head of the Unification Church there. After Kodama's death in the
1980s, Moon gained increasing influence over the Japan Youth
Federation.
But Kodama was also a silent partner in Japan's organized-crime ring
known as the Inagaki-kai yakuza. (The yakuza, Japan's mafia gangs, are
the laundry for billions of dollars in Asian drug trade cash.) One of
Kodama's chief aides was arrested in Hawaii in 1991 for transporting
cocaine under cover of the trading activity of the Sagawa Kyubin
trucking company. The firm was run by Susumu Ishii, a founder and
leader of the yakuza, until his November 1991 death. Reverend Moon's
funder, Yoshio Kodama, was an investor in Ishii's trucking firm. The
yakuza's dirty drug money is suspected of being the main source for
the suitcases full of cash which Moon's members transport regularly
into the United States to fund his enormous influence-peddling and
corruption operations. The cash and gold watches, which American
ministers and Congressmen routinely accept from Moon, are thus,
presumably, paid for by the profits of the Asian drug trade. One might
consider that, the next time a parishioner's child dies of a drug
overdose.
Papa Bush's Cash Cow
The same sources helped pay for the election of current President
George W. Bush. In September 1995, when he was seeking money to fund
his son's political career, former President George H.W. Bush went on
a speaking tour of Japan for the Women's Federation for World Peace,
headed by Moon's wife, Hak-ja Han-Moon. After a Sept. 14 address by
Mrs. Moon in the Tokyo Dome, former First Lady Barbara Bush declared
Mrs. Moon "my sister," according to a small item that appeared the
next day in the Moonies' Washington Times. In November 1996, the
cash-hungry father Bush toured Argentina, Peru, Uruguay, and Venezuela
with Reverend Moon, on a mission to launch a Spanish-language version
of the Washington Times for distribution in South America, known as
Tiempos del Mundo.
But the Bush family ties to Moon operations preceded all that.
According to Japanese intelligence sources, Prescott Bush II ran Asian
secret operations for his brother, the first President George Bush.
Prescott was an adviser to the just-mentioned Sagawa Kyubin trucking
firm involved in the cocaine scandal, and owned by the Moon-connected
gangsters Ishii and Kodama. Prescott was also tied in to other Ishii
businesses. From 1989 to 1991, he served as a $250,000-a-year
consultant to Ishii's Hokusho Sangyo Co., according to U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission reports.
How Japan Became America's Enemy ...
The Japanese connection to the rise of the Moon cult is important for
another reason. The presence of the Mitsui group at the center of the
Moon and Buchman operations in Japan is a marker for something even
more central to understanding the forces behind the Russell-Wells
"no-soul gang." Again a step back in history, will make the matter
clearer.
When former President Ulysses Grant visited Japan in 1879, at the
conclusion of a three-year world tour, he warned the Meiji government
against the treachery of the British. Great Britain was then the open
enemy of patriotic Americans, and the battle between the American and
the British systems the central struggle in the world. How Japan
responded to this struggle would be crucial for its future. The fate
of China had already been determined a few decades earlier, at a time
when America was divided and weaker.
Through two Opium Wars, Britain had subjugated and humiliated China.
The first Opium War began in 1839, when China banned the importation
of British opium, shipped in from the Indian colony. The British
intent was to create the world's largest free market in drugs by
addicting the huge population of China's coastal cities. China was no
match for British naval power. By the Treaty of Nanking in 1842, she
was forced to surrender the ports of Canton, Shanghai, Amoy, Foochow,
and Ningpo to British trade, and to cede the island city of Hong Kong
entirely to Britain. But worse, China was forced to yield up her
population to the scourge of the opium den. The second Opium War from
1856-58, joined in by British and French troops, ended in the Treaty
of Tientsin, which forced the opening of ports from the mouth of the
Yangtze River north to Manchuria.
In Japan, a pro-American faction developed, which learned the
difference between the British and American systems. In 1853, between
the two Opium Wars, a Japan previously closed to all foreign contact
received U.S. Navy Commodore Matthew Perry, and a treaty of friendship
was soon worked out. A circle of reformers grouped around the
intellectual leader Yukichi Fukuzawa founded newspapers and a
university to educate Japanese political layers to an understanding of
the uniqueness of the United States, and argue that Japan adopt
America's revolutionary system as a model.[9]
The Meiji Restoration of 1868 overthrew the warlord-feudalist
Shogunate, and returned full power to the Emperor, who was under the
guidance of a faction of pro-American reformers, steeped in the
writings of Alexander Hamilton and the U.S. Constitution. American
System economist Erasmus Peshine Smith, the student of Lincoln's ally
and economic adviser Henry Charles Carey, was dispatched to Japan by
President Grant in 1871 to help guide the economic development
program.[10] After the crushing of the Satsuma rebellion in 1877,
pro-American reform groups were able to abolish feudalism, nationalize
land held by warrior clans, and begin large-scale industrial
development.
... And How America Became Its Own Enemy
Similar processes were under way in Germany, under the leadership of
American System economist Friedrich List, and in Russia with the help
of such figures as the great chemist Dmitri Mendeleyev, the author of
a plan for industrialization of Russia by railroad development, and
the Count Sergei Witte who was allied with the Meiji group in Japan.
The promotion of the American System of economy, and the concept of a
government constituted to promote the general welfaretwo ideas
virtually banned from American history books in the second half of the
20th Century, remained the central aim of Republican administrations,
up through the British-sponsored assassination of a newly re-elected
President William McKinley in 1901. (That Republican Party, as
distinguished from the thing bearing that name today, was the party of
Lincoln. The Democratic Party of the time, and continuing up until the
breakthrough 1932 campaign of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, was the party
of slavery and shareholder values, as it has tended to become again,
since the disastrous Presidency of Zbigniew Brzezinski's puppet, Jimmy
Carter, and the recent hegemony of the Democratic Leadership Council.)
The secret to what happened to the intellectual tradition that
produced the American Revolution, Lincoln, and the post-Civil War
industrialization, is summed up in this historical fact. In the last
quarter of the 19th Century, America's principal allies were Germany,
Japan, and Russiathe very same nations which became her principal
enemies in the 20th Century. Worse yet, America became its own enemy,
betraying its own history by a still-raging case of collective
historical amnesia. There was no irony in it. That was precisely the
result which the grandson of Palmerston ally Lord John Russell, and
his lower-class sidekick, Wells, had intended.[11]
Buchman Again
The Japanese family cartels which tended toward a pro-British stance
from an early point, were Mitsui, Sumitomo, and Shibusawa. The Mitsui
banking and trading company complex had been the leading Japanese
partner of Jardine Matheson and Company, the Scottish shipping firm
which controlled the largest share of the British Empire monopoly in
opium. Moral Re-Armament founder Frank Buchman met the Barons Mitsui
and Shibusawa (then the Finance Minister) in 1915, when he travelled
to Japan on his YMCA-sponsored Asian tour. Later, Buchman came to know
intimately Kichizaemon Sumitomo of the Sumitomo cartel, and the entire
Shibusawa banking family.
The Baron Mitsui's second son, Takasumi, came to study in England,
first at Halford Mackinder's London School of Economics, and later at
Magdalen College, Oxford. In 1935, Prof. B.H. Streeter, the Moral
Re-Armament leader and provost of Queens College, Oxford, invited
young Takasumi Mitsui to meet with Buchman. Buchman attempted to use
Takasumi for a three-pronged penetration: to push for Anglo-Japanese
rapprochement; to intervene into the conflict in China; and, to "bring
Japan into a united front with Britain and the Axis powers for a
crusade against Bolshevism," in Buchman's words.
It was exactly the geopolitical program which Haushofer had dictated
to Hitler as he composed Mein Kampf. No surprise that it should
coincide with the program at Oxford, since Haushofer acknowledged he
had taken his geopolitical analysisthat whoever controlled the
"Eurasian heartland" (Germany, Central Europe, and Russia) controlled
the worldfrom the Coefficients' Halford Mackinder. Buchman and the
Oxford Group were hardly alone in their efforts. In 1935, before
Hitler turned westward, the policy of bleeding "the heartland," by
engineering a confrontation between Hitler and the Soviet Union, was
the prevailing policy among the British elite.
Takasumi was induced to return to Japan. "Sumi must become a
peacemaker," the pious fraud Buchman intoned. The young Mitsui reached
Japan in 1939, where he gave several lectures on Moral Re-Armament
before businessmen's clubs, and to a captive audience of Mitsui
executives. But the pro-Axis militarists who held the reins of power
did not want to hear of collaboration with the British at this late
date. His high connections allowed him to escape punishment by the
militarists, and Takasumi was permitted to establish a school in Tokyo
during the war. Despite his pro-Hitler sentiments, he was also spared
punishment during the American occupation, and by 1947 had become the
leader of the now widely accepted Japanese branch of Moral
Re-Armament.
6. Transformation in Korea
The Korean War provided the venue for the next phase of implementation
of the Russell-Wells scenario. The penetration by U.S. military and
intelligence circles by that point, was the key to the operation used
to create Moon. In the middle 1950s, U.S. military intelligence and
the Allen Dulles-controlled CIA operations crowd were all over Korea,
training and recruiting assets, and monitoring all political, social,
and religious activity under the Sygman Rhee dictatorship. According
to former U.S. Air Force Intelligence officer Col. Fletcher Prouty,
the securely controlled environment and huge military presence made
South Korea an ideal base for the "Secret Team" operations of the
notorious Gen. Edward Lansdale, which ranged throughout Asia.
One key reminder of the bigger picture is necessary, before turning to
the details of the recruitment and transformation of the sex deviant,
who now imagines himself the Messiah.
The war in Korea had marked a decisive advance for the British Utopian
influence over the United States, in many ways. President Truman's
1951 firing of Gen. Douglas MacArthur, who would not accept the
"limited war" concept central to the Russell-Wells doctrine, was a
marker for the growing influence of the Utopian faction in the U.S.
military. After World War II, traditionalist military men had fought
against the development of a Central Intelligence Agency separate from
the military branch intelligence services, and lost. As the Utopians
gained control, the military intelligence services as well were
penetrated and corrupted into instruments of Utopian policy.
After 1945, the whole military-strategic environment was shaped by the
bomb. The unnecessary dropping of the only two fission weapons in the
U.S. arsenal on a Japan that was already negotiating a surrender, was
the greatest triumph of the Russell-Wells faction. Just as Wells had
called for in The Open Conspiracy, the demonstrated existence of a
weapon too terrible to contemplate, opened the way to soliciting
nations to the surrender sovereignty to a world entity. Bertrand
Russell's role, from his post-war call for a pre-emptive strike
against the Soviet Union, to his position in brokering relations
between Kennedy and Khrushchov in the Cuban missile crisis, was
central. One cannot properly make sense of any significant development
in the post-war world without grasping the central influence of that
Russell-Wells Utopian doctrine in shaping them.[12]
The Rise of the Sex Deviant
For obvious reasons, every detail of Moon's turning and recruitment by
Western intelligence services cannot be known. His 1955 imprisonment
on sex offenses was likely the scene for the recruitment effort by
American-trained Korean intelligence operatives. Some time after
Moon's jailing, four Korean military officers with U.S. intelligence
training joined the Moon cult. The four were later to become
operatives of U.S. intelligence asset Maj. Kim Jong Pil, the founder
of the KCIA and the man who installed the Park Chung Hee regime in a
1961 coup.
These four early Moonies were:
Kam Jan In (a.k.a. Steve Kim), who served as Kim's interpreter and
later became KCIA station chief in Mexico City, where sources report
he was instrumental in establishing connections between Moon and the
drug cartels;
Hang Sang Keuk, later Korean ambassador to Norway, where he served as
liaison for the Moon organization to the Captive Nations organizations
of Communist East Europe.
Hang Sang Kil, who became Moon's personal secretary after serving as
liaison with the U.S. Department of the Defense at Korea's Embassy in
Washington; and
Col. Bo Hi Pak, who still runs Moon's U.S. operation, and was
originally the link between the Korean Embassy and the U.S. National
Security Agency, according to Robert Boettcher's Gifts of Deceipt.
Moon was absolved of all charges, and released from his South Korean
jail cell on Oct. 4, 1955. A few days later, his Unification Church
acquired a Buddhist temple at Chong-Padong in Seoul, which became its
headquarters. By the end of 1955 there were 30 Unification Church
centers throughout South Korea, spreading Moon's Gnostic gospel. Even
so, the scandals did not subside. Segae in 1957 alleged Moon to have
had orgies with 70 students.
One of Moon's early disciples, Chung Hwa Pak, broke with him, and made
public charges that Moon practiced his sex rituals with, among others,
six married female disciples. Moon claimed that these women were
preparing the way for the virgin, who would marry him and become the
True Mother. The charges were made public in the widely circulated
text The Tragedy of the Six Marys, later published in Japanese. Pak
later returned to Moon's payroll, and recanted his accusations.
KCIA chief Maj. Kim Jong Pil reportedly relied heavily on two
important sources to fund KCIA covert operations: first, Japan's Class
A War criminal, Ryoichi Sasagawa; second, Israeli slimeball Shaul
Eisenberg. Eisenberg, who is at the center of more politically tainted
shady business dealings than one can shake a judge's gavel at,
brokered deals with the Japanese for the KCIA's Kim; he may also have
been the go-between in establishing Walker Casino and resort near
Seoul in 1962, which provided a money-laundering capability for covert
operations.
Many of these facts come up in exposés, such as Boettcher's, and in
the 1978 Fraser Committee hearings before Congress. The common error
is in implying primary intent to the KCIA or even to the interests of
the Moon cult itself. As we have seen, the mother lies elsewhere.
7. The Moon Lands on America
The unleashing of the Reverend Moon's Gnostic sex-cult freak show onto
the streets of 1970s America only appears odd or inexplicable, if one
chooses (as in deference to academic and media-approved opinions of
modern history) to block out the openly stated aims of those who set
up the cult in the first place: to destroy, by subversion, the unique
experiment which was the American Revolution, and the intellectual
tradition which produced it. Once that elementary point is grasped,
all that need be explained is the changeover in tactics which took
place in the 1960s.
This new phase of the Moon marked the promotion of mass insanity.
Moon's missionaries came to the U.S.A. in the early to mid-1960s. Sang
Ik-Choi, the first missionary to Japan, went to the U.S.A. with Yun
Soo Lim, called Onni (Korean for "elder sister"). Onni was later
"blessed" by Moon in a marriage to Dr. Mose Durst, whom she had
converted. Together, they took charge of the Oakland Family in
California, which became the most important center of Unification
Church proselytism. In February 1972, with about 500 American members,
Moon proposed at a Los Angeles meeting, the launching of an expanded
recruitment drive based on forming mobile "witnessing teams" to tour
the United States. This was the One World Crusade. Huge sums of money
flowed in to set up permanent Unification Church centers in all 48
states, and to purchase a compound in Tarrytown, New York, on a
property previously owned by the Bronfman family, of liquor and
drug-money-laundering fame. (Rank-and-file Moonies were led to believe
that their slave labor in producing wax candles, and street-corner
sales of flowers and magazines actually paid for all this.) The
Belvedere compound in Tarrytown became Moon's first home, when he
relocated to the U.S.A. in 1972.
The One World Crusade was carried out with all-night, group
brainwashing sessions, involving sleep- and food-deprivation, and use
of psychedelic stimulants. After one notorious recruitment session at
the New Yorker Hotel, bodies were found at the foot of the elevator
shaft. This was the mad phase of the Moonie assault on America, the
reason behind that all-too-familiar empty smile and vacant stare, worn
by Moon's clean-cut, young street-corner zombies.
Why? Cui bono?
The Strategic Shift
The key to understanding the motivation behind this launching of mass
insanity, is to recognize the important shift in the global strategic
picture which had been achieved through Soviet General Secretary
Khrushchov's assent to the 1963 test-ban and arms limitations
agreements. For the Russell-Wells Utopians, this meant that the high
rate of Western investment in scientific and technological progress,
which had been required by the furious pace of the earlier arms race,
could be slowed, without fear of losing everything. That had been the
intent behind the U.S.-Soviet disarmament talks, initiated by the
Russell-Szilard Pugwash movement in 1955. By the time of the
assassination of President John F. Kennedy, an essential part of that
objective had been achieved.
The evolution of the Moonies into a mass cult in the late-1960s
U.S.A., had been preceded by establishment of a wide range of business
and influence-peddling fronts. Moon's U.S. operations began to really
take off with the 1964 founding of the Korean Cultural and Freedom
Foundation, by Col. Bo Hi Pak. (Moon's KCIA controller had
incorporated a U.S. Unification Church earlier, but it had only
proto-cells and a tiny following.) A year later, Bo Hi Pak launched
the Radio Free Asia project, a transparent scam to build the coffers
of the Unification Church. With backing of factions in the U.S.
intelligence community, Radio Free Asia solicited millions from
American anti-Communists to operate a transmitter in Korea, already
paid for by the Korean government. One after another, the business and
political front groups were established by figures including Col. Bo
Hi Pak; Neil Salonen, Moon's first high-level American operative; and
others, until the listing reached 33 single-spaced pages.
Once the decision was made to deploy the mass-scale recruitment
operation onto U.S. campuses, other networks of the Russell-Wells
no-soul gang lent a hand. Some of the early psychological conditioning
of the Moon cultists was carried out by the Michigan-based National
Training Laboratories. This was the social-engineering operation,
specializing in labor relations, run under direction of the Tavistock
Institute-trained Kurt Lewin and University of Pennsylvania Prof. Eric
Trist.
Vietnam
Just as the Utopian-managed war in Korea had provided the context for
the Moon recruitment, so the Vietnam War, the next of the succession
of managed conflicts (held below the threshold of total war by
pre-agreement among the superpowers), provided the human fodder for
the Moonie recruitment in America. Most of the American Moonies were
recruited out of the rock-drug-sex counterculture, deliberately
introduced into the student ferment against the Vietnam War. Allen
Tate Wood, for example, the prominent Moonie defector (who happens to
be the grandson of the Southern Fugitives school poet Allen Tate), was
a leader in the anti-war demonstrations which culminated in the
burning of the Reserve Officers Training Corps (ROTC) building at the
University of the South in Sewanee, Tennessee. Within a year or two,
Tate Wood was lobbying Congress on behalf of continuing the war in
Southeast Asia, a principal activity for Moon's zombies, working under
cover of the Freedom Leadership Foundation front in the early 1970s.
While the zombies were hawking candles and roses on the streets,
Moon's Freedom Leadership Foundation had set up meetings for the sex
deviant with an impressive list of U.S. Senators and Congressmen.
Between February and April 1973, Moon held meetings of half an hour or
longer with:
Senators William Brock (R-Tenn.), James Buckley (Cons.-N.Y.), Jesse
Helms (R-N.C.), Hubert Humphrey (D-Minn.), Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.),
and Strom Thurmond (R-S.C.); and

William Mailliard (R-Calif.), and Floyd Spence (R-S.C.).
The most evil aspect of it all was the intentional elimination of the
rational, scientific mental outlook associated with a modern,
technology-based, agro-industrial economy. Moon was not the whole of
it. From 1968 on, every piece of the disparate networks of the Open
Conspiracy was let loose at once. Of special note was the kookery of
the Aldous Huxley/Gregory Bateson operation which had been brewing in
California since Huxley's 1937 deployment to the United States. This
was the origin of the drug side of the 1960s counterculture. To a
youth culture terrified by the nightly news images of their peers
returning home in body bags from a purposeless war, retreat into
mind-altering drugs, mind-altering music, and even the mindlessness of
Moon was not so strange. Another crucial piece of the operation had
been hatched in New York's Institute for Social Research, which housed
the emigré networks of Hungarian psycho Georg Lukac's Frankfurt School
disciples. Russell's Unity of the Sciences movement formed another
piece. And there were more.[33]
The Bosch Canvas
Imagine America of the late 1960s into the 1970s, as if it were the
panoramic background to a painting by Hieronymus Bosch. Think of the
canvas as a whole, with its nightmarish imagery of degeneration and
debauchery, and the events as they actually occurred:
the launching of the rock-drug-sex counterculture, under direction of
such of Aldous Huxley's MK-ultra program disciples as Harvard's
notorious psychedelic drug pushers, Richard Alpert and Timothy Leary;
and, the parallel operation of stupefaction of popular music, as
prescribed in the studies of Frankfurt School musicologist Theodor
Adorno;
the spread of the mass environmentalist movement, funded under such
auspices as the World Wildlife Fund of Britain's royal consort, Prince
Philip, and the card-carrying Nazi, Prince Bernhard of the
Netherlands; the parallel deployment of a mass movement for world
depopulation as in the promotion of the genocidal doctrines of the
Club of Rome, founded by Moon collaborators Alexander King, Aurelio
Peccei, and Japan's Class A war criminal Ryoichi Sasagawa;
the dumbing down of U.S. education, especially de-emphasizing serious
study of the sciences and Western Classics, as described in the
Rappaport report produced during Alexander King's reign at NATO's
Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development;
the destruction of the principal technology driver of the 1960s U.S.
economy, the Wernher von Braun-conceived Moon-Mars colonization
program;
the dismantling of U.S. industrial capability, including its
conventional nuclear power capability, and the eventual shutdown of
the controlled thermonuclear fusion effortall as prescribed in the
Project 1980s report of the New York Council on Foreign Relations,
under the heading "controlled disintegration of the U.S. economy"; and
so forth.
By such means, the scientifically vectored, production-based world
economy of the 1945-64 period was brought to its present state of
onrushing depression collapse.
A Paradox
In The Time Machine, Wells' 1895 vision of the British oligarchy's
utopia, the working classes have evolved (Huxley-style) into hairy,
muscular, ground-hugging creatures, known as Morlochs, who do the work
of production for society in underground mills. The upper classes,
known as the Eloi, live their effete, airy existence on the surface
above, while also serving occasionally as fresh meat for hunting
parties of escaped Morlochs. To bring Wells' degraded vision up to
date, merely substitute for the Morlochs' underground foundries, the
exported manufacturing industries of the Third World sweatshops and
maquiladoras; instead of the Eloi, think of the credit-card based
consumer society at the top of which sit the now-shrinking number of
idle rich in the advanced-sector nations. There, in summary, is a fair
approximation of what the anti-American assault of the 1960s
rock-drug-sex counterculture produced.
The rational person of good will, observing what can only be
comprehended as an outbreak of mass insanity among his fellow
citizens, asks himself: How is such a thing possible? The thought
occurs to him that some person, or persons, must have brought about
this state of affairs wilfully. For what reason, he asks, and how
could such a thing be contemplated by rational men? Thus arises a
paradox. Can collective madness be reasonably planned? We refer the
still perplexed reader to the quotation at the opening of this
article.
Now, summon this whole fantastic Bosch canvas before your mind's eye,
as you think on today's purchased preachers, Presidents, and
Congressmen, some so bold as to brag openly of the Moonie-supplied
gold watches decorating their wrists. Yet, do not forget the even more
widespread fear and corruption of a free citizenry, which has chosen
to place Moon's purchased merchandise into positions of power and
responsibility, and even now tolerates their continuance. Thus, look
pure evil in the eye, and know, even so, that it can be defeated,
provided you will fight.
8. The Moonification of the Sciences
In 1972, several busloads of members of Moon's "Oakland Family" rolled
out of their Berkeley Center, with the intention of turning their cult
of a few hundred adherents into a national movement. As the candle
sellers hit the streets, others rented halls, printed programs, and
sold tickets for the multi-city speaking tours of their "Father" Moon.
Meanwhile, behind the scenes, the Russell-Wells "no-soul gang" was
already working on the next big step of the Moonification of America:
They would merge the cult of the Korean sex-deviant, with the networks
of corrupted scientists already gathered around Bertrand Russell's
Unity of Sciences movement.
The first International Conference of the Unity of Sciences (ICUS)
took place at New York's Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, Thanksgiving Day,
1972. There were 20 academics from 8 nations sharing the platform with
Reverend Moon. Among them: Harvard's Russellite professor of
philosophy, Willard V.O. Quine, and systems specialist Ervin Laszlo of
the genocidal Club of Rome.
From small beginnings, the subsequent ICUS conferences grew to
hundreds, and then thousands. These would become the annual Walpurgis
Nacht celebrations for the ghouls and goblins of the "no-soul" gang's
science establishment, many of them proudly bearing the mark of that
discredited Nobel Prize committee, which had long since become an
instrument of the Russell-Wells conspiracy. Cash and entertainment was
provided by Moon, the Mephistopheles of Poontang himself, who would
also deliver a personal statement of greetings to each conference.
Eugenics and the Super Robot
Moon's third Unity of Sciences conference, in 1974, took place at the
Royal Lancaster Hotel in London. The Chancellor of Cambridge
University, Edgar Douglas Lord Adrian, presided. Lord Adrian was a
Nobel Laureate, and aging leader of the eugenics movement (as Wellsian
biology had been called before the Nazi crimes gave the term a bad
name). His researches on the passage of nerve impulses across the
synapse marked the early phase of what was to become the Open
Conspiracy's two-pronged program for science: to modify man, and
create the super-robot "thinking machine."[14]
The fourth Unity of Sciences conference, back in New York, was
keynoted by Sir John Eccles. Eccles had learned his neuroscience from
Lord Adrian's partner Charles Sherrington (the two shared the 1932
Nobel Prize for physiology). Eccles then shared the 1963 Nobel Prize
for physiology with Andrew Huxley, the third generation from the
Thomas Huxley who had described the relationship of mind to body, as
that of a bell to an alarm clock.[15] Eccles and the younger Huxley
attempted to establish old Huxley's thesis, by researching the
chemical basis of the action potential of the nerve impulse.
The Huxley view of the brain became the central topic at the 1976
conference, in Washington, D.C., where prominent neuroscientists
joined Sir Eccles, that year's conference chairman, to debate the
brain-mind problem: Which way to establish Huxley's hoax that the mind
is merely a machine?
Some argued for a physiological approach: "The problems of higher
brain functions are very much involved in the question of the unity of
the sciences, if the ultimate aim is that the brain should understand
the brain," Dr. H. Hyden, Director of the Institute of Neurobiology at
the University of Göteborg, said. Others called for a mathematical
model: "What is needed is not a detailed understanding of the
physiology of the brain, but a form of statistical mechanics that
prescribes the properties of a mechanism capable of assimilating
information from outside itself and performing logical transformation
to that information before generating motor output," argued Dr. J.W.S.
Pringle from Merton College, Oxford.
Also at the fourth conference in New York, Nobel physicist Eugene
Wigner made his first of many appearances. Wigner was an old player in
the Russell-Wells nexus, a lifelong friend of Dr. "Strangelove" Leo
Szilard.[16] Wigner soon became a regular at Moon's affairs, along
with his former student Alvin Weinberg, the physics incompetent who
served as Director of Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
Technology Bad, Genocide Good
At the 1976 conference, in Washington, D.C., the co-founder of the
Club of Rome, Sir Alexander King, made his first appearance with Moon,
to speak against the "ugly manifestations of technology." Now, there
were 600 scientists and academics, from 50 countries, in attendance.
Recall the second point of Wells' program for the Open Conspiracy:
"the supreme importance of population control in human biology and the
possibility it affords us of a release from the pressure of the
struggle for existence...." This was the purpose of the genocidal Club
of Rome, whose propaganda provided the backdrop for the 1970s
de-industrialization of the U.S.A. and Western Europe. If people could
accept "postponing their immediate ambitions and gratifications of
immediate desires at least to the extent of providing a liveable world
for their children and grandchildren ... it would at least provide a
breathing space," King said in 1976. Today's children and
grandchildren can see what they got. The King of genocide was to
attend and chair many subsequent ICUS conferences.
At the 14th conference, in Houston, free-enterprise economic guru
Friedrich von Hayek received the Founder's Award from a Moon stand-in
(the Reverend was still in prison on tax evasion charges). That one
was chaired by Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Alvin Weinberg, the
student of Wigner. Von Hayek kept coming back, bringing with him the
Conservative Revolution crowd of the American Enterprise Institute,
the Potomac Organization, and others. At the 15th conference, a major
theme was unity of religions. Discussion papers included one on a
favorite topic of Moon: a piece by a comparative religion expert
arguing that phallus cults are simply a form of "worship of the
principle of life."
So, the wide net of the Open Conspiracy drew tighter.
Where It Came From
The Unity of Sciences movement had been founded in New York City in
the mid-1930s, by a group of admirers of Bertrand Russell among the
faculty of Columbia and New York Universities. It drew its
philosophical fire from Russell's discredited attempt at a utopian
formal logic, the Principia Mathematica,[17] and a related offshoot of
German philosophical degeneracy, the Vienna Circle of
logical-positivism. In the final analysis, the distinction between
those doctrines, and what Moon considered to be his most profound
discovery ("Why didn't you feel they [your feces] were dirty? Because
that's a part of your body.") is a fine one.
It all went back to Thomas Huxley's basic teaching, itself the
derivate of a long chain of philosophical decay dating back to
Aristotle. The unifying theme was the denial of the nobility of man,
as expressed in the provable power of the human mind to create and
discover new ideas. For the "no-soul" gang, there is no distinction of
man from the beast, nor even from inorganic matter. There is, thus, no
soul. To maintain such a view, creative reason must be denied. The
mind must be shown to be merely a formal-logical processor, not
different from a digital computer. The method of knowing the world, is
reduced to analysis of sensory data received at the nerve endings.
The logical-positivist version of the doctrine had been described most
nakedly by the Austrian failure of a physicist, Ernst Mach. In his
1886 The Analysis of Sensations, and the Relation of the Physical to
the Psychical, Mach described his philosophical epiphany at the age of
17. He had been studying Kant's tortured philosophy, when he suddenly
saw ... something:
On a bright summer day in the open air, the world with my ego suddenly
appeared to me as one coherent mass of sensations, only more strongly
coherent in the ego.
Leaders of the Unity of Science grouping in New York, all members or
sympathizers of Trotskyist political groupings, included Ernest Nagel,
Sidney Hook, and Albert Wohlstetter (later to achieve fame as the
mentor of America's leading Chicken-hawk, Defense Policy Board
Chairman Richard Perle).[18] John Dewey, the so-called education
reformer most responsible for the present dumbing down of U.S.
education, was also prominently associated with the group. Soon,
members of the Vienna Circle in flight from Hitler, began arriving in
New York. Among them were Rudolf Carnap, Hans Reichenbach, and the man
who coined the term Unity of Science, Otto Neurath.[19]
Bertrand Russell visited New York in 1936, on his way to a two-year
teaching assignment at the University of Chicago, and met with the
members of the Unity of Sciences group. Russell took the movement with
him to Robert M. Hutchins' University of Chicago. It grew to national
intellectual prominence in 1938, with a well-publicized conference at
the University of Pennsylvania, attended by Russell, and followed
shortly thereafter by another affair at Harvard.
Soon, the method of Unified Science would take over the teaching of
science and mathematics, first in the U.S.A., then the rest of the
world. A project called the International Encyclopedia of Unified
Science, run out of the University of Chicago, published a multivolume
series, of which Thomas Kuhn's wretched piece of intellectual
dishonesty, The Structure of Scientific Revolutions is the best
known.[20] Neurath was the editor-in-chief for the encyclopedia.
Rudolf Carnap, another Viennese refugee, and Charles Morris, both of
whom frequented Russell's seminar at Chicago, were the associate
editors. The advisory committee for the project included Copenhagen
school physicist Niels Bohr, John Dewey, and the devil's orphan,
Bertrand Russell himself.
Postscript: A Note on Moon's 'Theology'
Moon's is a Gnostic doctrine, not of his own invention. The method of
propagating cults, as a means of maintaining subject populations under
the rule of an imperial power, goes back at least as far, in known
history, as the Babylonian Empire. The Romans learned it from the high
priests of the East, whence it passed along, by way of Byzantium, to
Venice, the leading maritime power up to the 17th Century. From
Venice, it penetrated into England, and eventually became a standard
piece in the repertory of the British Empire's intelligence services.
The specific cult doctrine known as Gnosticism came to the Hellenic
world by way of the Persian domination of Mesopotamia. It originated
as a form of mystery worship of astronomical deities, including a
father (or "original man") and great mother god, sometimes Venus, or,
in an Egyptian-derived variant, Isis (Sirius). The number seven has
mystical significance as the number of the five visible planets, plus
the Sun and Moon.
In the form of the Gnostic heresy deployed against early Christianity,
the primal or original man, becomes Christ. In some versions, such as
that presented in the popular book, Holy Blood, Holy Grail, Christ did
not die on the cross, but married Mary Magdalen, migrated to Europe,
and had children, who became the British ruling family by way of
d'Anjou and Plantagenet lineage. This published hoax is a variant on
the form of British Israelism believed by many members of the British
elite today. In another common variant, the actual Jews are thought to
be the children of Eve's copulation with Satan (the serpent); the
other descendants of Adam allegedly went elsewhere. In other versions,
Christ did not marry, which is, itself, alleged to be an error.
Moon's religion is a syncretic variant upon these diverse Gnostic
doctrines, created as a cult belief-structure, for purposes of mass
manipulation. Moon believes that he is the Father of a "Third
Testament Age." The first was tainted by Cain's crime against his
brother. Christ failed to have children, and thus the Second Testament
Age was not fulfilled. Father and Mother Moon (that is, Sun Myung and
his second wife Hak Ja Han) are the parents of a new race of "blessed"
people of the Third Testament Age. Although Moon apparently once
thought he could father all the children single-handedly, age caught
up with him. It was determined that he and his wife could become the
parents of the new generation, by being present at mass blessings of
marriages. Tens of thousands of couples may participate at one time.
Moon, now 82, believes himself the Messiah, but not immortal.
Therefore, these affairs must be conducted as widely and quickly as
possible. A big one just occurred near Washington, D.C., Dec. 7, 2002.
That, folks, is the hard truth about the world's largest Gnostic
Sex-Cult Freak Show.
Is your rabbi, imam, priest, or pastor co-habiting with the devil? Is
he sporting a new gold watch, perhaps a new girlfriend, or a
Moon-blessed wife? Do you, including the unchurched among you, imagine
yourselves free of this influence? When was the last time you picked
up a copy of a publication in science, culture, history, or any field
of intellectual endeavor, that did not have the imprimatur of the
Russell-Wells "no-soul gang" stamped all over it? Have you any
independent thought respecting man and nature, which is not derived
from, or influenced in some way, by the philosophical premises of the
"no-soul" gang? Think about it. Much is riding on your conclusion.

The essential thesis for this report is contained in two
groundbreaking historical studies by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr.: "How
Bertrand Russell Became an Evil Man," Fidelio, Fall 1994, and "Today's
Nuclear Balance of Power: The Wells of Doom," EIR, Dec. 19, 1997. The
author had the rich outline of these concepts rattling around his
brain when he undertook recently to look into the origins of the Unity
of the Sciences Movement. Discovering the Russell, Dewey, Hutchins,
Niels Bohr nexus of control leading into the 1970 re-publication of
Thomas Kuhn's Structure of Scientific Revolutions, the question arose:
How did this operation become integrated into the Moonie empire,
beginning 1972, with the prominent assistance of Leo Szilard's
partner, Eugene Wigner? A re-reading of Wells' The Open Conspiracy,
pointed to the significance of Buchman's Oxford Group/Moral
Re-Armament Movement, which spawned the Moon cult, as the tactical
realization of Wells' call for a mass peace movement. A closer look at
the Unity of Science doctrine combined with the second part of Wells'
"modern Bible scheme," his Science of Life, helped to answer a
question which had been part of the immediate motivation for this
research: Who killed science?
The EIR archive of unpublished reports dating back to 1978 proved an
invaluable source of material. An overview was provided by re-reading
of the 1980 work The New Dark Ages Conspiracy, a book-length
elaboration by his collaborators of LaRouche's original thesis on the
Russell-Wells "no-soul gang."

of Tiempos del Mundo newspaper in Buenos Aires.
[3] Russell's perversely warped attitudes toward his fellow man may
find partial explanation in the perverse circumstances of his early
life. Bertrand Russell was born on May 18, 1872. Before the age of
four, he had lost both his parents, and in the midst of a shocking
scandal, landed at the Richmond Parks Estate of his grandfather, Lord
John Russell. The tale unfolded as follows.
When Bertrand's mother succumbed to diphtheria in 1874, the father
John (Russell) Lord Amberley, anxious over his son's religious
upbringing, appointed as guardians two men who were avowed atheists.
The first was his own godfather, Cobden-Sanderson. The second was D.A.
Spalding, a young biologist in the Huxley mold, specializing in the
study of animal instincts. Spalding was already serving the Amberleys
as tutor for Bertrand's older brother, and entered an advanced stage
of consumption while in the family's employ.
When Bertrand's father died, two years after his mother, Lord
Amberley's papers revealed the reason why Spalding could never become
the legal guardian. As the adult Russell later described it:
"Apparently upon grounds of pure theory, my father and mother decided
that although [Spalding] ought to remain childless on account of his
tuberculosis, it was unfair to expect him to remain celibate. My
mother, therefore, allowed him to live with her, though I know of no
evidence that she derived any pleasure from doing so." Upon disclosure
of this matter after the father's death, both Spalding and
Cobden-Sanderson renounced their claims, and the young Russell thus
ended up with his wicked grandfather. (See, Ronald W. Clark, The Life
of Bertrand Russell [New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1976], pp. 23-26.)
There is a reason behind every evil. To know what makes an adversary
so, as Shakespeare's Henry VI, Part 3 explains the case for the
consummate tyrant Richard III, is to better know how to bring forth
good from his defeat.

al., The New Dark Ages Conspiracy (New York: New Benjamin Franklin

[5] The manuscript of Deeks' work, The Web of the World's Romance, had
been received at Macmillan publishers in, Toronto at the same time
that Wells claims to have begun work on his history, published a year
and-a-half later by Macmillan, New York. When Miss Deeks received her
rejected manuscript, after an eight-month wait, it was tattered and
dog-eared. A year or so later, when Wells' Outline of History
appeared, Miss Deeks noticed extraordinary similarities to her own
work, even to the repeating of certain errors she had later corrected,
and the use of passages she had taken (she feared, too liberally) from
John Richard Green's Short History.
Lawsuits brought in six different jurisdictions from Toronto to London
were all to no avail against the powerful connections of Wells. Wells
could not afford to admit his guilt. The fortune he made from this
work established his financial security. See A.B. McKillop, The
Spinster and the Prophet: H.G. Wells, Florence Deeks, and the Case of
the Plagiarized Text (New York: Four Walls Eight Windows, 2002).
[6] The charge of Hess's membership in Buchman's cult is both credible
and interesting. Long before he met Hitler, Hess was a member of
satanist Aleister Crowley's Isis cult, known as the Ordo Templi
Orientes, which crossed over into Crowley's satanic Order of the
Golden Dawn, popular among students at Cambridge and Oxford. Born in
Egypt, Hess bought an Egyptian sarcophagus for his burial, but proved
too tall to fit in it; when he died, his legs had to be amputated and
buried separately.
After the Munich putsch of 1923, Hess shared a jail cell with Hitler
for nine months at the same time Mein Kampf was being written, by aid
of frequent visits from its real author, Bertrand Russell's friend
Karl Haushofer. Recall that Mein Kampf foresaw an alliance between
Germany and England to fight the Russian peril. It is supposed that
Hess helped Hitler, to a deeper understanding of the occult.
When Hess parachuted into Scotland in 1941, to seek a separate peace,
he landed at the estate of the Duke of Hamilton, one of many former
Nazis among the British aristocracy. Hess was representing a group of
army officers and industrialists who wanted to save Germany from what
they saw as sure defeat under Hitler. But Churchill would have none of
ithe wanted Europe to bleed a good while longer. Hess was imprisoned
in Britain for the remainder of the war.
[7] Charles Madge was a surrealist poet, who received British
government funding, in the late 1930s, for a new type of sociology
project he called "Mass Observations." The project came under
direction of anthropologist Bronislaw Malinowski, and was later
brought under the auspices of the London Tavistock Institute.
Tavistock was founded in 1921 as a London clinic specializing in
treatment of shell-shock victims from World War I. In World War II,
the clinic became the core of the Psychiatric Division of the British
Army under direction of Brig. John Rawlings Rees. After the war, many
of the leading brainwashers were dispatched to the United States to
work on the secret mind-control projects of the Pentagon and CIA,
including the MK-Ultra project for the study of LSD and hallucinogens.
One of the major projects was a historical review of cults as a means
of social control.
[8] Cf. Anton Chaitkin, "The Mob That Moon Really Married," EIR, Dec.
12, 1997.
[9] "America is our Father," wrote Fukuzawa in Japan's first newspaper
Jiji Shinpo, which he founded. "I regard the human being as the most
sacred and responsible of all orders, unable therefore, in reason, to
do anything base. So in self-respect, a man cannot change his sense of
humanity, his loyalty, or anything belonging to his man-hood, even
when driven by circumstances to do so," Fukuzawa wrote. Another leader
of the Meiji group, Shigenobu Okuma, wrote in his study Fifty Years of
the New Japan that without the "U.S.A. as chaperone," Japan might be
just another colonial satrapy. (Kathy Wolfe, "Hamilton's Ghost Haunts
Washington from Tokyo," EIR, Jan. 3, 1992.)
[10] While American students are now taught the treasonous falsehood
that British East India Company employee Adam Smith was the founder of
their economic system, Japanese students still learn of the real
American System, and study the works of Alexander Hamilton, E. Peshine
Smith, Friedrich List, and others. The relative strength of Japanese
industrial-productive capability (up through the recent onset of a
depression caused by acquiescence to globalist, monetarist demands),
as compared to America's long-dead productive economy, derived from
Japan's continued emphasis on the American System in its economics and
industrial engineering training.
[11] England succeeded in pulling Japan behind her in the First World
War. The United States entry on behalf of England meant postponing the
U.S.-Japanese military confrontation sought by the British. But the
two principal military defense plans of the United States in the 1920s
and into the 1930s were War Plan Red and War Plan Orange. The first
was for the contingency of a British attack; the second, in case of a
Japanese attack.
[12] See, Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr., "How Bertrand Russell Became an
Evil Man: Reflections Upon Tragedy and Hope," Fidelio, Fall 1994, for
a precisely focussed historical-philosophical treatment. This was
LaRouche's first major work, after emerging from a five-year
imprisonment arranged by friends of Henry Kissinger.
[13] See, Jeffrey Steinberg, "From Cybernetics to Littleton:
Techniques of Mind Control," EIR, May 5, 2000, for a shocking report
of the premeditated brainwashing of America carried out by the
disciples of Wells, Russell, Huxley, et al.
Also see, Michael J. Minnicino, "The New Dark Age: The Frankfurt
School and 'Political Correctness,' " Fidelio, Winter 1992.
[14] Ever since Thomas Huxley pressed the recluse Charles Darwin to
write up his disparate observations in the form of a racialist theory
of evolution, the guidelines for biology have been the same. Assert:
1) that man is not different from a beast; 2) that living processes
are not distinct from randomly ordered physical processes. The modern
project to turn biology into a subset of inorganic physics, known as
molecular biology, got under way in the 1940s under the leadership of
two retooled physicists of the "no-soul" gang, Niels Bohr's student
Max Delbruck, and Leo Szilard. The two guided subsequent developments,
Szilard by dominating 1950s sessions at the Long Island, N.Y. Cold
Spring Harbor Laboratory (originally named the Cold Spring Harbor
Eugenics Laboratory, when it was inaugurated under Harriman and
Rockefeller family funding).
Later, that administrative role passed on to James D. Watson. Watson,
who bragged in his book The Double Helix, of stealing his leads for
the structure of DNA from private letters of Linus Pauling, was a
product of Deweyite elementary education and the University of Chicago
High School, before moving on to Hutchins' University. "The devil made
me do it," might be his most honest line of defense.
[15] Some scholars believe this is the origin of the term, No-bell
Prize.
[16] Wigner had known Szilard since school days in Budapest, when the
two supported the short-lived Communist revolution of Bela Kun. In
1938, Wigner joined Szilard in talking Einstein into signing the
famous letter to President Roosevelt, which caused Roosevelt to begin
the secret Manhattan Project to build the atomic bomb. Most of the
scientists working on it thought they had to, to prevent Hitler from
getting it first. Szilard and Wigner wanted the bomb for Wells and
Russell's reason: to attain the superweapon that could force nations
to submit to a world empire. Wigner was later the beneficiary of
$200,000 in honoraria from Moon.
[17] Russell's 1913 work should long ago have been withdrawn from
sale, and full refunds issued to all purchasers. In 1931, Kurt Gödel
toppled the ivory tower of Russell's formal-logical utopia, and in
principle all of logical-positivism, in a work entitled "On Formally
Undecidable Propositions of Principia Mathematica and Related
Systems."
Gödel, although a devoted follower of Leibniz, restricted himself in
that work to a formal-logical refutation of Russell's doctrine.
Russell was, thus, devastatingly refuted on his own chosen field of
battle. However, the underlying assumption of Russell, that truth can
be expressed by means of a formal system, had already been refuted
2,500 years earlier in Plato's series of dialectical refutations of
the Eleatic school, culminating in the Parmenides.
Preceding the Principia Mathematica, Russell had authored a
book-length attack on the philosophy of Gottfried Leibniz, and a
failed attempt to refute Carl Friedrich Gauss's leading student,
Bernhard Riemann, on the subject of geometry.
[18] Albert Wohlstetter became the intellectual father of two naughty
children: Richard Perle, and the insane doctrine known as Discriminate
Deterrence. Wohlstetter was a graduate student of Ernest Nagel at
Columbia, and a member of a Trotskyist splinter group called the
League for a Revolutionary Party, headed by B.J. Fields. He broke with
that, and in the early 1950s began his career in the Rand Corporation.
The Rand think-tank was an outgrowth of the same Russell-Wells Utopian
circles which had pushed for the napalm bombing of civilian
populations in Germany, and the needless and cruel dropping of the
atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Wohlstetter became a leader in
that grouping of military incompetents who specialized in devising
gaming scenarios, whereby the U.S. would supposedly get an advantage
over the Soviets in the Cold War, without actually exploiting any new
physical principle. It was all modeled on the ideas of Wells, Russell,
and Szilard.
The other child looked human, even to the big, pouty face. Richard
Perle met Wohlstetter when he was a teenager in California in the
1950s, dating his daughter. He dropped the daughter but kept on with
her father. "It was a close personal friendship, as well as an
intellectual relationship," the Washington Post of Nov. 24, 1987
explained. "Wohlstetter's ideas became Perle's ideas; his network
Perle's; and, as Perle travelled through the bureaucratic catacombs of
Washington, his first mentor remained on call."
Today Perle's views include his frequent calls for unilateral,
pre-emptive strikes against Iran, Iraq, and any other Islamic country
he chooses, with or without evidence. Perle is a Vietnam era draft
dodger, which seems to qualify him to chair the Defense Policy Board.
In that capacity, he is a frequent traveller abroad purporting to
represent the views of the United States.
[19] Neurath was a Viennese communist. In his late 1920s manifesto,
titled Wissenschaftliche Weltauffassung (Scientific World Outlook), he
spelled out the movement's aims:
"[T]he goal ahead is unified science. The endeavour is to link and
harmonize the achievements of individual investigators in their
various fields of science. From this aim follows the emphasis on
collective efforts, and also the emphasis on what can be grasped
intersubjectively; from this springs the search for a neutral system
of formulae, for a symbolism freed from the slag of historical
languages. Neatness and clarity are strived for, and dark distances
and unfathomable depths rejected."
Striving for "neatness and clarity," Neurath himself would soon be
working on his greatest contribution, the icon system known as
ISOTYPE, which would allow one to distinguish the men's room from the
ladies' in international airports.
[20] Kuhn's book, still widely read on campuses today, was first
published by the University of Chicago Press in 1962, as Volume 2,
Number 2 of the Encyclopedia of Unified Science; it was reissued by
the same press in 1970, and subsequently.
The fraud behind Kuhn's popularized term "paradigm shift" is very
simple. Kuhn does not believe in truth. Apart from his incompetent
interpretation of nearly every actual breakthrough in science, Kuhn
does not suppose any such breakthrough to be a matter of actual human
progress. Kuhn's "normal science" is H.G. Wells' doctrine of the
scientist as "worker bee," as elaborated in The Open Conspiracy.
