Audio of the Washington Times owner at full snarl
Listen to this (or any of these) and it will give you insight into the kind of guy coronated at the Dirksen Senate Office Building on Mar. 23. From a New York appearance in the '70s, it's Sun Myung Moon in a mode of delivery that I think can fairly be described as frothing and meant to frighten. The translator is his subordinate, Bo Hi Pak. Work this clip into your next D.J. session.
Ex-follower Gordon Neufeld, author of this memoir, writes in with this explanation:
It's very obtuse and preaches Moon's arcane theology to an audience that must have been merely stunned and confused by the outpouring. The haranguing, belligerent tone Moon uses in the Madison Square Garden speech was toned down in his later speeches. I was not a member back then but I was told by people who had been present that the reason Moon used this harsh manner of speech was to "break through the negative spirit world". To Unificationists, there is a swarm of spirits surrounding everyone, but if they are negative spirits, they will try to block Moon's message from getting through -- most famously, by making overworked Moonies fall asleep during speeches.
...You know, I listened to this again, and he really seems hostile towards Jews. That explains why, in the '70s, the extremist JDL declared no Moon missionary would walk the street safely. There's also some stuff in the third reel about John the Baptist blowing the mission of Jesus bigtime, leaving heaven "open to competition" (by Satan)
