Finally, a mainstream news outlet has picked up the bizarre story of the Rev. Sun Myung Moon's "coronation" in a U.S. government building, attended by more than a dozen lawmakers.
At the March 23 ceremony in the Dirksen Senate Office Building, Rep. Danny K. Davis (D-Ill.) wore white gloves and carried a pillow holding an ornate crown that was placed on Moon's head. The Korean-born businessman and religious leader then delivered a long speech saying he was "sent to Earth . . . to save the world's six billion people. . . . Emperors, kings and presidents . . . have declared to all Heaven and Earth that Reverend Sun Myung Moon is none other than humanity's Savior, Messiah, Returning Lord and True Parent."
John Gorenfeld has been pushing this story for weeks, it's about time somebody started paying attention to it.
Several of the Congresspeople who attended the ceremony are claiming -- now that the details are out -- that they werre "duped" or "misled" by the organizers.
Unless they genuinely didn't know Moon was involved in this event, which is highly doubtful, it's total bullshit.
Everyone in Washington knows who Moon is and that he's a lunatic. Certainly they all know that he's extremely conroversial. Not knowing the details of whatever event they were going to in no way excuses their having anything whatsoever to do with this man in the first place.
On top of all of this is the fact that this event took place in the Dirksen Senate Office Building, and nobody seems to know who gave the authorization.
