3. Bolton is connected to Moon.
Lots of snippage here too....
Really good article about his history with the thug administration. Long but a very worthwhile read...just so we all know what type of a beast we're dealing with here.

Translation From French
(With excellent footnotes)

SHADE OF CHENEY
John Bolton and disarmament

Militant of extreme right-hand side evolving/moving in the shade of Dick Cheney, John Bolton was an obscure under-secretary of State of the administration Bush I He awaits a promotion in the government Bush II.

In 1995, John R. Bolton accepts the presidency of the National Policy Forum (NPF), an emanation of the Party which, under the appearance of a think-tank tax-free, was actually used to collect occult financings < 1 >. Thanks to banking complicities, the Forum inserts in the cases of the Party of the million dollars in the form of loan whose refunding is never required. It profits especially from the gifts of Ambrous Young, a billionaire of Hong Kong, and Pacific Cultural Foundation, a folding screen set up by the reverend Moon on behalf of the government of Taiwan < 2 >. In 1996, it organizes a great conference during which lobbyists will be able to have access to the republican members of Parliament. The entry is fixed at 25 000 dollars, causing complaints for racket < 3 >.

John Bolton accepts annual fees of 30 000 dollars of the secret funds of the government taïwanais for studies on the relations between UNO and the "two" China < 4 >.

Militant of extreme right-hand side, in favour of the "preventive wars of disarmament", John R. Bolton should be destined for high positions in the second Bush administration. His/her friend, the senator Jesse Helms, said about it: "It is the kind of guy with whom I would like to be when Armageddon comes".

Another good (rude) piece about him
http://rudepundit.blogspot.com/2005/03/part-2-john-bolton-another_10.html

Part 2: John Bolton, Another Motherfucker for America:
Yesterday, the Rude Pundit moved back in the career of John Bolton, chosen by the Bush administration to become the new U.S. ambassador to the U.N. Bolton is currently an Undersecretary of State, as he was during the reign of Colin Powell, and, as the resident batshit insane neocon, Bolton's job in the Bush's first term was, more or less, "make sure that high-yellow nigger doesn't totally fuck-up our plans to destroy the world as we know it." Which Bolton did smashingly well.

Now, Bolton is being called out for saying things like, "The United Nations is a fetid, dry piece of shit that wouldn't even smear my shoe if I stepped on it," or words to that effect. Which means, once again, we Americans are all held in sway by George Bush's epic sense of irony in running the nation.

Back when Bolton was an assistant to Secretary of State James Baker under Poppy Bush, he was a little less inclined towards unilateral action by the United States. In 1989, Bolton joined Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister Vladimir Petrovsky and issued a statement of the U.S. and the Soviet Union's support of U.N. General Assembly resolution "calling on all nations to respect human rights and abandon the use of force except in defense." Said the Assistant Secretary and the Deputy Minister, "We hope that it may offer an example to other member states that it is possible to set aside tendentious polemics that have been too common in the United Nations in the past." The resolution, which re-affirmed the U.N. charter, called on nations to work cooperatively through the U.N. to solve international security issues. Bolton, who worked tirelessly to strip the International Criminal Court of any authority and was always threatening that the U.S. would back out of any U.N. organization that allowed the PLO even conditional membership, has always been a good liar. That's why he's such a motherfucker.
....
We've just scratched the surface of his pre-Bush II life. But we can make some pretty solid conlusions about John Bolton: For most of his career, he's been a nationalistic liar with shitty judgment. A motherfucker. A nasty little plague-flea-infested gutter rat that thinks he's got the sharpest teeth in the sewer. That's why he fits in perfectly with the Bush adminstration, no?

Another Washington Note piece on him here:

Yet more...

...
During John Bolton's tenure as president, the NPF received a $25,000 contribution from a foreign organization known as the Pacific Cultural Foundation.
....

Final one..for now.

....
Now that same John Bolton has been named by President Bush as the US ambassador to the UN. "If I were redoing the security council today, I'd have one permanent member because that's the real reflection of the distribution of power in the world," Bolton once said. Lately, as undersecretary of state for arms control, he has wrecked all the nonproliferation diplomacy within his reach. Over the past two decades he has been the person most dedicated to trying to discredit the UN. George Orwell's clock of 1984 is striking 13. ....
...
Bolton is an extraordinary combination of political operator and ideologue. He began his career as a cog in the machine of Senator Jesse Helms of North Carolina, helping his political action committees evade legal restrictions and federal fines. Helms, the most powerful reactionary in the Senate, sponsored Bolton's rise to Reagan's justice department. "John Bolton," Helms said, "is the kind of man with whom I would want to stand at Armageddon, or what the Bible describes as the final battle between good and evil."
...
At the state department, Bolton was Colin Powell's enemy within. In his first year, he forced the US withdrawal from the anti-ballistic missile treaty, destroyed a protocol on enforcing the biological weapons convention, and ousted the head of the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons. He scuttled the nuclear test ban treaty and the UN conference on the illicit trade in small arms and light weapons. And he was behind the renunciation of the US signature on the 1998 Rome statute creating the international criminal court. He described sending his letter notifying the UN secretary general, Kofi Annan, as "the happiest moment of my government service".
....
Bolton's meddling in diplomacy on nonproliferation with North Korea and Iran guaranteed that the allies had no unified position and encouraged the Koreans and Iranians to play the nuclear card. Bolton's response to these crises has been to lead the charge to remove the UN head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, Mohamed ElBaradei. In late November, Bolton denounced the Blair government and the Europeans negotiating with the Iranians as "soft" for attempting "diplomatic means".
....

He's a monster!
