I’ve listened to multiple podcasts that detail how this is a cult. Dunno why we can’t stomp out cults in the states. Helping people would help.
‘In the wake’? Time must be running for them.
Like … in acid?
Nah, despite what TV has said, bases are much better at dissolving bodies than acid.
I wonder how that would affect the The Washington Times since it is owned by Moon.
“The Washington Times was founded on May 17, 1982, by Unification Church leader Sun Myung Moon and owned until 2010 by News World Communications, an international media conglomerate founded by Moon. It is currently owned by Operations Holdings, which is a part of the Unification Church movement.”
Fun fact: The Washington Times newspaper, which in the DC market is the conservative competitor to the Washington Post, was founded by (and I think is still run by) the Moonies. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Washington_Times
2 (at least, I haven’t really gone too deep down this rabbit hole) of the founders sons broke away and formed their own church, it got a decent amount of attention a few years back for doing some mass wedding thing with ar15s, as well as rifle blessing ceremonies. A few of the members of that church including the son who founded it were involved in 1/6, and the other one is the owner of Kahr firearms.
Again, they’re a breakaway sect, not the main Moonie church, so there’s surely some important ideological differences, but there are 2 guys who were raised by their founder, and the one was considered to be in line to take the whole thing over before having a falling out with his mom and deciding to make their own crazy cult instead, so you kind of have to wonder if these 2 nuts actually fell all that far from the tree.
And they apparently sell the majority of fish to Sushi restaurants in the US:

It’s weird…
Some democrats say they were duped. Regardless the whole thing is fucked up.
