Here's a YouTube video I wrote and directed. It's the triumph of content over form so there's nothing slick about it. I am using it and my blog to alert people about how Moon has undermined American democracy and preyed upon his followers.

If you like the video, please give it a high ranking on YouTube. This is especially important because, as I reported, the Unification Church is instructing its members to manipulate the YouTube ranking so that videos critical of Moon and his cult are given less visibility. It only takes a minute to get a YouTube account and it's free.

to give you a ranking, something I have avoided until now. :-)

I have a friend whose life was ruined by the Moonies so I am happy to do anything I can to get this scum exposed and bring him down. He should be deported.

I like the "it's not Scientology" splash. Can I respectfully suggest you use a slightly larger font in future though?

13. it is small, as you can imagine, it's hard to get so much info in a short time
but one suggestion, is JUST below the video on the right, there is a graphic of a box with a smaller box inside of it - if you click that, it will fill your entire screen with the video. you may know this, but because of your comment, I figured I'd let you or anyone else know it can be enlarged to a readable text size.


great vid by the way, OP!

8. Did you see the comment on YouTube from someone that said Bush 1 & 2 are buying land next to Moon's
Moon owns huge amounts of acreage in Paraguay, right next to where Bush bought a lot of land and water rights.

Daily Kos had this on it back in 2006:

Is Bush Preparing for Exile? Buys 98,842-acre farm In Paraguay
by pinche tejano

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2006/10/16/11414/803

Mon Oct 16, 2006

There is a funny town in Guanajuato, filled with ex-Mayors from all of the other cities in the state. The reasons they live in this funny little town, albeit beautiful, is because they looted, stole or did other things during their administration that behooved them to relocated there. It was an open secret and a very interesting place to take in the horse races on Saturday, where one can expect to drink polque with hefes de hefes. So where better for Bush to go than Latin America for exile? I mean, besides the stunts his father pulled down there.

And:

http://www.docudharma.com/showDiary.do?diaryId=5228

It starts with former President George H.W. Bush's very cozy relationship with the cult leader Sun Myung Moon, who owns two influential conservative news organizations in Washington -- the Washington Times and United Press International. Some of the Rev. Moon's many mysterious businesses and foundations are based in South America, including Paraguay. And G.H.W. Bush has been happy to shill for Moon on a South American jaunt in 1996. The elder George Bush and wife Barbara Bush even sang Happy Birthday to the Mrs. Rev. Moon and helped blow out the candles. (Moon's bizarre Washington and international dealings are detailed in Bad Moon Rising, a new book by investigative journalist John Gorenfeld.)

Fired Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld may have ignited the strange legend when South American media learned of his August 2005 visit to a massive jungle air base in northern Paraguay. The conspiracy got even more traction when First Twin Jenna Bush suddenly turned up in Paraguay -- a year later, in October 2006 -- to hold secret meetings with the U.S. ambassador and the Paraguayan president. The U.S. Department of State actually refuted the Bush-Paraguay conspiracy, which just made it all the more real. Of course they would deny it.

And now we find out that the Bush Family's corrupt little brother was just in Paraguay, with the Rev. Moon's Universal Peace Federation. Neil Bush is the Bush that's usually kept in the shadows. Ever since he helped cause the massive Savings & Loan collapse -- the same S&L corruption scandal that nearly ended John McCain's political career two decades ago -- Neil Bush has kept busy with myriad crooked schemes to make money off the family name.

What was he doing with the Moonies in Paraguay? Conspiracists will be thrilled to learn that he spoke at some seminar titled "Toward a New Paradigm of Leadership and Government in Times of World Crisis."

10. I have on my hat now.
:tinfoil:

When I was trying to rate and favorite, kept getting, "error in your request". I've never had that happen before.

Good piece, Scoobie! Too many really do not understand the danger Moon has been/is to our country, hell, the world.:hi:
