More "Moon Signals" at UN
Wayne Madsen
On February 5, 1999, Sun Myung Moon, the head of Korean intelligence- and organized crime-funded Unification Church, called for the establishment of a new UN body that would concentrate on religious dialogue to bring about "world peace." On that issue, the two Moons appear to be on the same page. Meanwhile, Sun Myung Moon continues to expand his influence, especially in the Pacific region and particularly in Tonga, Fiji, Marshall Islands, New Zealand, and Indonesia. The Moonie influence over the small Pacific islands has also been evident in their support for Guatemala for a UN Security Council seat. Venezuela, unlike Guatemala, restricts the activities of the Unification Church. Moonie organizations in Latin America, including the Tiempos del Mundo newspaper, have adopted extremely anti-Chavez stances.
