New photo: Before lawmakers were "deceived" in March, some gave Moon a crown at the Reagan Building
The story until now: In the Washington Post today, Sen. Warner's said to have received letters in January from activist Gary Jarmin, asking him to book a Senate room for the "Christian Voice" awards -- which morphed into the Crown of Peace debacle. Originally Jarmin wanted to host Moon on Feb. 4, we're told. The Post reporters are told that that the pageant was then postponed from Feb. to Mar. 23. But that's not true.
It now turns out: The Feb. 4 event, a kind of rehearsal, was never canceled.
Yes, Mar. 23, as much as it boggled minds, was a repeat event -- the second time this year that Moon was anointed at a federal office building. As you're about to see in a photograph.
In February at the Reagan Building, Moon was crowned as an abstentee Messiah, "anointed" in absentia in a ceremony featuring royal crowns. Accepting the crowns on his behalf was his son Hyun Jin, who spoke after receiving the purple and maroon diadems pictured below (Source: Unification News):
Check it out: it's Utah state senator Howard Stephenson on the right, and Rep. Danny K. Davis on the left. The banner is similar to that of the Mar. 23 event. According to the Moon organization, 40 members(!) of Congress flocked to the pageant -- before the next month's ritual that supposedly came as such a shock.
This merry participant's account leaves no doubt as to what happened:
The next morning we were blessed to have Rev. Kwak, Dr. Yang, Rev. Jenkins and Rev. Flynn at Hoon Dok Hae. This was a beginning.
We were told that Father was happy and that he had accepted our offering. 40 Congressmen and 2 Senators had attended. The poison in the Dirksen Senate Office building had merely sent us into a newer, bigger and more beautiful building. We had met many congressional leaders and so many wonderful guests had attended an IIFWP program for the very first time.
We are moving forward at breakneck speed!
Questions: Who were the 40 Congressmen at the first event, aside from Reps. Danny K. Davis and Chris Cannon, and Sen. Norm Coleman? And why didn't they warn their fellow Congressmen that things were "moving forward at breakneck speed" towards one embarrassing March evening? Moreover, who booked the first room? Warner, or someone else?
And just how often do they have these get-togethers?
(I first caught glimmers of this event Feb. 6 -- many of the links in that post are now kaput, partly due to scrubbing by the Web site of the Family Federation For World Peace. Then Kit did some outstanding research.)
...Note that Stephenson said he was misled about the Mar. 23 event, even though he's pictured, above, at the rehearsal.
(This post rewritten so many times I've lost track.)
