U.S. government to Unification Church: You're our only hope for HIV education! Oh, wait, sorry.
 |
Mid-year, the agency announced that a no-bid contract to teach in Africa would fund the Taliban-wannabe International and Interreligious Federation for World Peace (IIFWP), which worships Moon. But the CDC changed its mind months later, issuing a new decree that the money was, in fact, still up for grabs.
A spokeswoman for the CDC tells me the agency was under the impression that the IIFWP -- part of the notorious Unification Church -- was the only group qualified to receive the money. But then, she said, they received responses from some other people who would like to have it. "Responses," says the CDC's Kathy Harben, "showed that there were other organizations who could do what we were looking for."
Here's the original announcement. And here's the U-turn. Here's more on the IIFWP's partnership with the present White House...and on how Rev. Moon's purity sect has already received half a million dollars for abstinence education in American public schools, returning favors he's paid the Bush family over the years.
And here's some fun stuff.
