Bush 41 Gives Moon a Big Sloppy Kiss. Again.

Posted on: October 6, 2009 9:16 AM, by Ed Brayton

Former President George H.W. Bush has once again given fascist cult leader Rev. Sun Myung Moon a public fellating. Having toured the world giving glowing speeches praising about Moon in the past - for millions of dollars, of course - now Bush sent his second dumbest son to hand deliver a letter of praise to Moon inside the United States. The Moonie Times reports:

There was some speechifying from Liberian Ambassador Milton Nathaniel Barnes and Washington's the Rev. Walter E. Fauntroy, plus written congratulatory greetings from Sen. Joe Lieberman, Connecticut independent; former Secretary of State Alexander Haig, and former President George H.W. Bush - handwritten and hand-delivered by his son Neil Bush.

"Let us both keep working for a more peaceful world," the former president wrote, the image of his letter flashed on screens looming over the crowd at the Sheraton National Hotel in Arlington.

"Rev. Moon is presenting a very simple concept. We are all children of God," the younger Mr. Bush told the 1,300-plus audience spread across three ballrooms and plied with beef, baby vegetables and delicate chocolate pastries.

And Joe Lieberman? Another Jewish leader praising a man who teaches that the Holocaust happened because the Jews killed Christ? How pathetic.

Don't be so misunderstanding. This was just the respect due from a former head of state to the the current King of America.

Not to be confused with the true and eternal Emperor of America, Joshuah Norton.

So here we have a snapshot of unabashed greed on display. I am convinced that almost no one in that group believe that Moon is the Second Coming of anything. But, if Moon wants to pay incredible amounts of money just to have a person stand next to him and agree to whatever meaningless proclamations are spewed out, well then, there is a line forming for willing participants in this other-worldly Hallowe'en pageant. The fact that Moon also has control of a mass-media outfit more than willing to be a part of the rightwing echo-chamber is just too good to pass up for such greedy, immoral scum.

@ nedlum:

I only yesterday discovered that Joshua Norton was a real person, after having seen literary allusions to him for years. The discovery somehow made me very, very happy.

Does anyone else think Sun Myung Moon is the real life Nehemiah Scudder?

Here are the main problems of Rev. Moon I have elucidated here from my book;

Thus the First Stumbling Rev. Moon symbolically made on 4-18 1960 is that he did not Marry a Black American Woman who symbolizes the Soul of America in the Position of the queen of the South or Sheba; thus leaving her as the Widow of Israel. Thus Elijah at once appeared to me as my soul thus stood surrogate for the Bride as the Messenger with the Seal of the Living God; as Elijah once did to she in Zarepta.

To substantially symbolize what mixing the soil of Korea with that of the 50 States of our Nation really could really been have laid as "the Foundation of Salvation" as bringing "Pentecost" if Rev. Moon had "marched" or "walked" with our "spiritual king"of non-violence. Because Rev. Moon never "arrived" as "Joshua" with Rev. King and Prince Aaron is why so many of the children of all the tribes of Israel died; both Rev. Moon's and those of My Generation.

Rev. Moon decided that it was Rev. King and Aaron Presley who were agents unwittingly of Communism by being against the Vietnem War; but the unfortunate truth is that the first born black men and protesting whites were being sent to die in the front lines of this war as a racist policy recalling nothing more than the one by which Pharaoh killed the first born of Israel by drowning them in the Nile. This Rev. Moon missed entirely; branding My Generation as being "pro-Marxist" he helped serve the Scarlet Beast of Red China whose "red book" was what he supported as the one which unltimately killed King and Aaron Presley by the "beast from the Abyss" who is the "son of Perdition" himself.

The Golden Cage of Babylon the Great

My Generation's internal Exodus was begun at Beth-El; which men call Woodstock; but in reality it was the "3 day Seperation" by which My Generation seperated itself from the Racist Egypt which is Americ'as own "shadow"; which Rev. Moon himself suffered from in 1945 when he first came here; and which Hyo Jin says is when he decided he would raise up Korea as the Third Israel and abandon America spiritually. Thus was where it all began to "go wrong".

THE THREE GREAT ERRORS of the book "Divine Principle"

The First Great Mistake is that Rev. Moon said that my Father Jesus did not arise in the flesh; and bone; as of the Resurrection; as even Doubting Thomas had to admit; thus Rev. Moon lost his "wedding garment" as having "sold" it to buy the double-edged sword his book ""Divine Principle" really became; but it could have been a Scepter of Resurrection had he said he was Elijah! But Rev. Moon did not even rise to the standard of the least of the Apostle's that Thomas really was: no faith; no progress on the Path of the Just. When he goes to spirit world Rev. Moon will find he has "no garment" for just this reason: and if he prays to Jesus my Father will tell him why: if he is sincere.

The Second Great Mistake Rev. Moon made was in saying that the Holy Spirit is a "female spirit"; when the Seal ( had he reached it) would have shown him that the Holy Spirit of God is Jehovah Himself; and this cannot be known until one has the Seal as I was given it when John came to me; to Seal the 144,000 that Rev. Moon Married when he was to Seal them instead; which would have been the Baptism of Fire where the Hate seen by the Arabs and the Jews in 1967 at the 144 hours of War and Hatred became seen opposed the the Summer of Love and Peace by the Children of all the Tribes of Israel; yea!

Love as Haight Street became our Jordan: he missed this at the Visitation of God, to begin to raise the 144,000 Virgins from My Generation: the Children of the Resurrection who do not marry nor are they to be given in marriage; which Rev. Moon ignored. Yet these virgins are the Clouds themselves who first rise: dead in Christ, faithful into Death.

It is We who are the Clouds; the Virgins who are the First Fruits unto God and the Lamb; and I speak for them as the least: for we stand for the Bride my City really is: a City Not Forsaken it shall be called: the City of St. Francis.

The Third Great Mistake Rev. Moon made was in then "Marrying" the Lamb to the Holy Spirit as his "Bride"; being as how the Holy Spirit is that of Jehovah Himself. for here Rev. Moon allowed Love and Truth as the 2 Olive Branches held in the 2 Hands of God that are the Spirit and the Soul seen in the Symbols of the Sun and the Moon; the two Olive Branches that fell in the Street of Babylon.

The Name of Love as God which was the second Witness; and the Word of God as Truth which was invaded in the understanding of Rev. Moon which had been the first Witness as is seen in his book "Divine Principle".

These two were thus invaded by Satan as they symbolized the Bride and the Bridegroom; the Bride being she who was to abide in Love and thus from God to "prepare herself" for the Bridegroom; what happened instead is that San Francisco fell as SODOM arose by the act in his book of Rev. Moon marrying 2 "male entities" of Jesus the Son and the Shepherd which is the Holy Spirit. And as the Holy Spirit represents the Shepherd or Lover of the Bride it was Rev. Moon who taught his followers wrongly; and his misrepresenting of the Holy Spirit of God is what allowed "Isis" as the "queen" of Egypt as this "counterfiet female 'holy spirit'' '" whose name is "Mystery" to invade his book: themantically this was a complete literary disaster.

Why? Because "Mystery" holds "the Golden Cup" seen in chapter 17 of the Revelation of St. John the Divine: the Principle of Indemnity itself; and thus exacts God's penalty upon all for her Crime; for she is Hell Herself: the throne of Death.

The men of Sodom are now trying to take America: state by state. Their progress is being fought by all people of faith; but many are wavering due to Rev. Moon's confusion over this one area to this day.

Why must Rev. Moon die as a Mortal Man?

Because he is not eligible for the Regeneration; by which alone he can become Incarnate and thus attain Immortality.

For this following tragic and unneccesary reason: where Rev. Moon Fainted completely is when and where in his own testimony he decided that he would consciously speak The Accusation of Satan the Devil that John the Baptist dared not even admit to himself. Yet he secretly feared it was true and could not reject and defeat this whispering voice within his own breast, and so Satan invaded him and he died: the Accusation of Satan that his father Zacharias had committed an act of Adultery with Mary by which Jesus was conceived: and this is what "killed" the Unification Church: the Error of John that was the "beam" in his "eye"; the "delusion" of his "mind"; and THIS ALONE is the "deadly wound" of our own "Grail King"; which with the Grail I hold as the Cosmic Parcifal I could now "heal" him of; even as Paul once "healed" the poisoned waters: for the Grail is Perfection itself; and few there be who will ever hold it.


"And if and when that evil servant shall say in his heart 'My lord delayeth his coming..... Here is what Rev. Moon had;

The Principle of his Guidance; the Virtue of his Intellect; the Essence of his Conviction; and the Value of his Resolve.

And then: the Light of his Energy.

For mine; the Victory of His Blessing; the Victory of His Honor; the Victory of his Power: and the "Victory of Victories" of that Value.

And then; the Salvation of His Light.

Re Joe Kinney

The so-called Reverend Moon is a convicted felon, just the type of hero for a fucktard like Mr. Kinney.

So Georgie-Porgy has been kissing the pale, puffy moon of the Rev, eh? Australia's former PM, "honest" Johnny Howard, had been kissing Shrub's moon since 2001. "A conga-line of suck-holes" indeed!
Re: Emperor Norton. It's said that the good citizens of SF bought the Emperor a yellow bicycle so that he could meet and greet his subjects, and that some 30,000 San Franciscans attended his funeral (9 Jan, 1880), equivalent to, say, 108,000 now. Every city needs a few harmless lunatics.

Good lord. You're defending a man who has declared himself the true savior of mankind by claiming someone else is engaging in self-glorification? Seriously, how can someone be that fucking stupid and still operate a computer?
