Raging Moon demands "Crown of Peace" coverage on Web sites, in media

"...maybe we should sell those newspapers!"

It looks like Rev. Moon and I agree on something. The owner of the Washington Times has called for more attention paid in his print and Web outlets to the use of U.S. government buildings to crown him the Messiah.

Many media institutions have not reported the truth about many areas. There has also been so much misunderstanding about me, which needs to be challenged and corrected now! Please be confident and clear. All central nations should understand the Crown of Peace ceremony. If there is misinformation, we need to establish correct understanding.

But this version of his speech is censored, leaving out vitriol and a crucial line. An unredacted version is found in an internal church e-mail from Moon aide Michael Jenkins, and it reads as following:

From: MWJENK@aol.com

Subject: [NACON] True Parents Return to America
To: NACON@GOODFAMILY.org

"How come our media is silent. If you just keep silent I will challenge you. You have to write correct articles or maybe we should sell those newspapers!!!

[...] "Please be confident and clear. All central nations should understand the Crown of Peace Ceremony, it should be on our websites and clearly understood."

I wonder if the Reverend is pleased that this Web site has done what his own craven servants, media employees and political allies have been afraid to do: Tell the world that U.S. lawmakers have hosted ceremonies hailing him as a god. My offer to interview him and set the record straight still stands.

"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)
