Footage of publisher's coronation speech at Dirksen Senate Office Building

Here's a Korean URL of the sect leader's speech in Windows Media format. No English, but you can hear dishes clinking and polite coughing as, presumably, Curt Weldon and Danny Davis listen to a translation of this speech about Stalin and Hitler naming Sun Myung Moon the Messiah. After getting some laughs from the audience, Moon's tone turns harsh and intense. At one point it zooms out, and there's a banner identifying the location as the Dirksen Senate Office Building...

Today I'm going to call up and get a figure as to how much the Washington Times Foundation paid for catering. For steak or whatever.

...Excerpt from the speech:

The time has come for you as well to open your hearts and receive the secrets that Heaven is disclosing in this age through me.

Congressmen gone wild

"John Gorenfeld: The first man on the Moon"
-- Ana Marie Cox ("Wonkette," Time.com Washington editor)

"Thanks to the superb reporting of John Gorenfeld on Salon.com and his indispensable Web page, Moon's shenanigans are routinely scrutinized. Maybe some of Gorenfeld's discernment will rub off on preachers and politicians."
-- Tony Norman, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette columnist

"The scene summoned the moment in Robert Graves's "I, Claudius" when Emperor Caligula declares himself a god in the Roman Senate; a fawning solon instantly offers a prayer."
-- New York Times editorial on the Crown of Peace scandal

"I am happy that our work is being challenged and improved in consistency, openness and coordination, by the accountability your spotlight demands. I am not talking about simply removing stuff from websites..."
-- Moon spokesman the Rev. Phil Schanker

"Instead of welcoming Reverend Moon, this government put me into prison. History will reveal the truth in the future and the American government and people will realize what an evil thing they did. What will they do then? They will bow down. Again, that is the way of natural subjugation." -- Moon in 1987

"A political movement basing its appeal on old fashioned patriotism and family values simply cannot justify an alliance with a cult that preys on the disintegration of the American family and advocates allegiance to an international social order operating with cell-like secrecy."
-- Rep. Jim Leach (R-IA)
