3. Well that's fairly terrifying.

I think it explains the GOP's cult mentality. I think they employ Moon's techniques, for sure. Brainwashing.

It's a perfect love match.

2. Republicans had some weirdo event in Congress back in 2004, I think.

With the Moonies - Nothing official - but allowed them to use Congress to sanction some weirdo event.

4. Xian and anti-China/CCP...?

Seems like obvious bedfellows to me.

6. Weird symbiotic relationship that goes way back

A full-page ad carried in major newspapers in all fifty states during the Watergate crisis.


Reverend Moon and President Richard M. Nixon pose for the camera after their meeting in the Oval Office in 1974.

"The Washington Times was founded on May 17, 1982, by Unification movement 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 movement.[5][6]"
