Reply #42: Info on Moon's early days and intelligence connections

[starroute]

This piece is originally from the LaRouche magazine by way of Rense -- two good reasons to take some of it with a grain of salt. (The obsession with "Anglo-American intelligence" in the paragraphs quoted below is typically LaRouchie, as is a later digression on the Jewish Defnese League.) But much of what it says is supported by other sources people have brought out on these Moon threads. And the additional information, if it can be independently confirmed, would cast a lot of light on what has really been going on with Moon and his influence in the US.

"Moon might have simply wandered around the Korean countryside, dodging the law and practicing 'sexual purification' on young girls, but for the intervention of two of the Korean CIA's founders--Kim Jong-Pil and Bo Hi Pak--and their patrons in the radical right wing of Anglo-American intelligence. Those ultra-right-wing Anglo-American intelligence networks were pivotted around William F. Buckley, Jr. and the Carlist, nominally Catholic, fascist apparatus he was building, under the cover of his National Review magazine, and the Young Americans for Freedom (YAF) anti-Communist youth movement.

"In June 1964, Kim Jong-Pil, Bo Hi Pak, and Reverend Moon were among the founders of the Asian Peoples' Anti-Communist League. APACL created a student front, the Free Asia Youth Alliance (FAYA), which, from its inception, was formally linked to Buckley's Young Americans for Freedom, which had established its own international youth federation, the International Youth Freedom Foundation. YAF/IYFF and FAYA signed a 'Declaration of Common Purpose' in their first months of existence.

"In 1966, APACL became a core component of the larger World Anti-Communist League (WACL), which was a front for the same Anglo-American ultra-right-wing dirty spook networks that had picked up the dregs of the wartime Nazi and Fascist apparatus, for use as 'resistance' networks, in the event of a Communist takeover of any country in the 'Free World.'

"The Iran-Contra "secret parallel government" operation afforded the Moonies the opportunity to do what they do best: launder vast sums of cash from undisclosed offshore enterprises into the hands of rogue anti-Communist spooks. The largest recipient of Moonie largesse was Lt. Col. Oliver North. Moon's and Bo Hi Pak's CAUSA International became a prime source of funding for North personally, and for the Iran-Contra gang more broadly."
