Here's a guy the Republicans don't want us to know about. His organization owns The Washington Times , the right-wing newspaper Ronald Reagan once called his favorite. Most folks recognize Moon as a dangerous cult leader who has recruited, brainwashed, and enslaved thousands of unsuspecting students from college campuses since the 1970s. They also remember the mass weddings he conducted at Yankee and RFK stadiums where thousands of couples were brought together.
Critics say church officials arranged the marriages to circumvent American immigration laws.
Moon controls a multibillion dollar tax-free business empire. In the mid-1980s, he served a year in prison for tax evasion. A lesser known fact is that his business operations have competed for, and received, government contracts worth millions of dollars. No ordinary commercial operation can compete with a Moonie shop because you can't beat the low cost of slave labor. Moon says he's the only person in the world who knows all the secrets of God.
