Bartlett and the Kwak Memo: "Moon's America" surrenders

Above: The Hon. Roscoe Bartlett

After a spokesman for Rep. Roscoe Bartlett (R-Maryland) lied to reporters, claiming that the Congressman played no part in the Moon crowning ceremony, Bartlett now tells NBC he sees no problem with giving a robe to an old man.

Hmm. It seems Bartlett is not aware of the Kwak Memo, an embarrassing document that's been purged from the Unification Church site (but available here). It's UPI chief Dr. Kwak's admission that the event wasn't really about recognizing Moon's peace conferences; was a symbolic surrender of Americans to Moon; and would acknowledge how much Moon, through his billions of dollars spent on political causes (Steve Hassan has more), has reshaped the United States in his image. Exclusive excerpts:

Not to mention that Bartlett unwittingly found himself stamping the seal of approval on Moon's "tear down the Christian cross and crown me king" tour of America. NBC alludes to this aspect.

Who won the battle between America and Reverend Moon? (Reverend Moon)

It is said that whoever comes to America becomes assimilated within five years. The famous term "melting pot" is always used to describe America. However, Reverend Moon came to America over twenty five years ago but he has not become Americanized at all. Rather he has caused America to become Moonized.

...and Google has surrendered to this site. It now outranks the Unification Church when you enter "Sun Myung Moon" into the search engine.

"John Gorenfeld: The first man on the Moon"
-- Ana Marie Cox ("Wonkette," Time.com Washington editor)

"Thanks to the superb reporting of John Gorenfeld on Salon.com and his indispensable Web page, Moon's shenanigans are routinely scrutinized. Maybe some of Gorenfeld's discernment will rub off on preachers and politicians."
-- Tony Norman, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette columnist

"The scene summoned the moment in Robert Graves's "I, Claudius" when Emperor Caligula declares himself a god in the Roman Senate; a fawning solon instantly offers a prayer."
-- New York Times editorial on the Crown of Peace scandal

"I am happy that our work is being challenged and improved in consistency, openness and coordination, by the accountability your spotlight demands. I am not talking about simply removing stuff from websites..."
-- Moon spokesman the Rev. Phil Schanker

"Instead of welcoming Reverend Moon, this government put me into prison. History will reveal the truth in the future and the American government and people will realize what an evil thing they did. What will they do then? They will bow down. Again, that is the way of natural subjugation." -- Moon in 1987

"A political movement basing its appeal on old fashioned patriotism and family values simply cannot justify an alliance with a cult that preys on the disintegration of the American family and advocates allegiance to an international social order operating with cell-like secrecy."
-- Rep. Jim Leach (R-IA)
