Sun Myung Moon speaks: “Famous actresses gamble, lose money then fall into debt ... then are forced to sleep with men.”

▲ Ken Sudo is seated second from the left, and Sun Myung Moon is fourth.

Moon: “True Father brought 50,000 Japanese WFWP leaders to Cheju Island. Each brought $10,000 so the total was $500,000,000.”

▲ The 13th of the 25 workshops held on Cheju Island Oct. 6- Dec. 22, 1993.

__________________________________________

Sun Myung Moon Hannam Dong, Seoul December 30, 1993

These are unofficial notes.

Sun Myung Moon: “… When True Father started the U.S. tour David Koresh had committed suicide with 30 followers [in April 1993]. It was the worst time to start, when looked at horizontally. True Father’s attitude was “if you compare me with Koresh, we’ll see who is right.” Through True Father’s start True Mother got the confidence to go on and do a worldwide tour. …

Your nations are not the Fatherland, but Satanic nations. Now the battle of the New Testament Age is over, the Completed Testament Age has begun, centered on Adam’s family. The World under Satan’s domination is doomed. We have established a worldwide Adam’s Family tradition and culture. We need a homogenous race. Those first class nations have a tendency to look down on colored people. They are doomed if they keep that attitude. When the Unified World nation is established, your nations will become states of that nation. There will have to be a central authority. The Uruguay round is helping advanced nations. That must be changed. Also there must be no national immigration barriers. True Father told the Washington Times that AIDS sufferers should be isolated and also that they should speak against barriers to migration.

▲ Sun Myung Moon and Hak Ja Han at their Hannam Dong mansion in Seoul.

True Father wants to establish tight control over the United Nations. The Inter Religious Federation for World Peace (IRFWP) is the religious U.N. (This is the mind.) The existing U.N. is the body. The Women’s Federation for World Peace (WFWP) represents women’s body. There are three U.N.s, True Father works with all of them to bring world peace.

Once True Father establishes a tight grip on the U.N. it’s much easier to control than any individual country. All big countries will have to come under that umbrella.

Eve took Cain and Abel and betrayed God. At the end of the New Testament Age, restored Eve must embrace restored Cain and Abel and bring them back to God. That’s why these three types of organization connected to the U.N. are so significant. They need Godism. Now that nationism is over, a block system is coming in (the European Union, NAFTA, South America).

In Europe there’s still a struggle between Protestantism and Catholicism – it’s reflected in North and South America. Once Protestantism and Catholicism are valued in Europe, those other areas will be affected. That time is coming soon. That’s why True Father needs the U.N. under his wing.

True Father wants you to understand the direction that True Father is leading you. So do your absolute best to promote the WFWP and True Mother in your country. Be desperate to build the kind of foundation where True Mother can rule your nation. By the year 2000 enough foundation must be made.

… The entire world must be under True Father’s wing. To do this we need the strongest possible WFWP organization all over the world. Politicians need support so go round to large organizations. First Ladies will go to the U.N. as their nation’s ambassadors. In one week they would agree to a religious committee.

The U.N. has a $2.5 billion debt. Also, it doesn’t have good manpower. Also U.N. colleges around the world are ignored as there is no U.N. university in the U.S. True Father wants to use the University of Bridgeport to educate the world elites, getting cooperation of Ivy League Universities. The Unified World is around the corner. So go back to challenge those in power in your nation. Drop all your old habits and have confidence that you’re the co-creator of God. Have guts. By watching True Parents performance of miracles, have confidence, go out and do God’s work.

True Father indemnified 4,000 years. Now is the time of liberation. Be on the same level as big shots in your country. We need many members. The time of individual level effort is over.

Media is the key. So far True Father didn’t intervene. Now you’ll have to move around the world.

Students can be educated by video. Language is a problem. We must make one world language. Only the Unification Church can do that. The language must have religious power. Korean is number one for structure, grammar, etc. Scholars have shown this. Your second generation must learn Korean, wherever they are. … The time will come when English will be banned. English lacks levels of honor, it’s too horizontal.

People of the future will not want to work in factories, but to travel around as they wish. True Father invented the concept of the hobby industry. People come and enjoy their hobby and gambling, etc. But gambling is mostly controlled by organized crime. True Father will establish a tourist structure. One team to enjoy casino gambling at the end of the week, all share gains and losses, a team activity. A casino should return 50% of the profit back to the players in the form of lottery tickets, not actual money.

We can learn from gambling to the extent that gamblers feel if I only had $100 more, I could make $10,000,000. We need that kind of spirit. Once Mafia moves out we can make true hobby industries. True Father investigated and figured everything out – even to the extent that it takes $5 - 700 to sleep with one of the famous dancers. There are special companies that do that but they are underground. Famous actresses gamble, lose money are helped financially then fall into debt. Then to pay off they are forced to sleep with men. …

True Father is building boats, making nets, etc. Now he’s thinking about fish farming. It should become hobby farming. People will have smallholding hobby farms and do their own vegetable growing there. That will stop urban areas growing and take people back to the countryside.

True Father has 3,000 acres in Texas, but plans to buy ten’s of millions more. …

▲ Crawford Farms, Texas. The Han Corp. bought the trophy ranch in 1992 for $8.1 million and sold it in May 1999 for $6.5 million. The Moons hardly used the 3,029 acre ranch. Over seven years Moon himself visited it about five times.

While True Mother was speaking over 77 days True Father spoke to 51,000 Japanese sisters. Many Asian countries were amazed that True Father could do this. If True Father didn’t do it the Japanese Unification Movement would have declined. True Father helped them.

True Father brought 50,000 Japanese WFWP leaders to Cheju Island. Each brought $10,000 so the total was $500,000,000. Now the Korean newspapers reported about it and True Father established his reputation as the richest, most powerful man in Korea.

Promote this kind of campaign in your nations too! Now it’s a hot story in Korea. It’s in many women’s magazines.

Seven jumbo jets came at a time and all the buses on Cheju Island were mobilized.

Dong-A Ilbo magazine reported in a two page spread that the Unification Church showed its almost omnipotent power and potential which cannot be taken lightly.

Cheju Island is perfect for hunting, fishing, sports centers and casinos – it’s not too hot and not too cold. …

▲ Cheju Island is south of Korea and west of Japan.

True Father will establish a Headquarters to govern Japan from Osaka southwards, from Cheju Island.

True Father is investigating building a dock and establishing a place where 2,000 can fish at a time each day. …”

_____________________________________

Moon personally extracted $500 MILLION from FFWPU Japanese sisters in Oct-Dec 1993. He demanded that 50,000 sisters attend HIS workshops on Jeju Island and each had to pay a fee of $10,000.

Moon said “Japan would ruin if we failed to bring in the minimum of 50,000 sisters into this providential workshop.”

New from Kevin Wozniak on Kevflix: What’s Streaming This Month? – August

Here are my picks for the best movies coming to Netflix, Prime Video, Hulu, Disney+, Criterion Channel, and HBOMax in August. This month offers up some great options, including Oscar winners, indie gems, and Hollywood classics.

NETFLIX

Full list of everything coming to Netflix in August can be found here.

THE ADDAMS FAMILY (Barry Sonnenfeld, 1991)

A perfect adaptation of the classic show about the creepy, kooky, mysterious, and spooky family.

AN EDUCATION (Lone Scherfig, 2009)

Carey Mulligan’s breakout performance leads Lone Scherfig’s coming-of-age drama.

BEING JOHN MALKOVICH (Spike Jonez, 1999)

One of two Charlie Kaufman-written movies coming to Netflix this month. This one looks at a group of people who find a tunnel that puts them inside the mind of actor John Malkovich. It’s an incredible film.

CASINO ROYALE/QUANTUM OF SOLACE (Martin Campbell/Marc Forster, 2006/2008)

Though Quantum of Solace is a bit of a dud, Casino Royale is my favorite James Bond movie and ushered in Daniel Craig as one of our best Bond’s.

ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND (Michel Gondry, 2004)

The other Charlie Kaufman-written film is his strongest screenplay to date and one of the most original movies of the 21st century.

JURASSIC PARK TRILOGY (Steven Spielberg/Joe Johnston, 1994/1998/2001)

Lost World and Jurassic Park III may not live up to the first film (not many films do), but this is a fun trilogy of dinosaur chaos and mayhem.

MR. DEEDS (Steven Brill, 2002)

One of the last great Adam Sandler vehicles. This movie never fails to make me laugh.

NIGHTCRAWLER (Dan Gilroy, 2014)

One of Jake Gyllenhaal’s best performances came in Dan Gilroy’s thriller about a man obsessed with breaking into the world of crime journalism.

OCEAN’S 12 & OCEAN’S 13 (Steven Soderbergh, 2004, 2007)

It’s kind of annoying they don’t have the whole trilogy on here (more on Ocean’s 11 later in this list) but these are fun, cool, twisty, weird movies with stellar casts that are endlessly rewatchable.

SAFETY NOT GUARANTEED (Colin Tervorrow, 2012)

The only good movie Colin Trevorrow has made is a unique take on the time travel movie.

AMAZON PRIME VIDEO

Full list of everything coming to Amazon Prime Video in August can be found here.

3:10 TO YUMA (James Mangold, 2007)

James Mangold’s underrated Western remake features dynamite performances from Russell Crowe, Christian Bale, and Ben Foster.

INCEPTION (Christopher Nolan, 2010)

One of the best movies of 2010’s is as bold as any blockbuster film ever made.

MARGIN CALL (JC Chandor, 2011)

JC Chandor’s debut is a tightly strung, expertly acted look at the 2008 financial crash.

TOP GUN (Tony Scott, 1986)

An 80’s classic.

DORA AND THE LOST CITY OF GOLD (James Bobin, 2019)

This adaptation of the Nickelodeon children’s show is an exciting and fun adventure film.

THE PEANUT BUTTER FALCON (Tyler Nilson, Michael Schwartz, 2019)

Led by the terrific performances by Shia LeBeouf and Zack Gottsagen, this is sweet, funny, heartwarming road movie that will melt your heart.

HULU

Full list of everything coming to Hulu in August can be found here.

AUSTRALIA (Baz Luhrman, 2008)

Baz Luhrmann’s bold romance staring Hugh Jackman and Nicole Kidman.

THE BROTHERS MCMULLEN (Edward Burns, 1995)

Edward Burns won the top prize at the 1995 Sundance Film Festival for his film about three Irish Catholic brothers from Long Island who struggle to deal with love, marriage, and infidelity.

MASTER AND COMMANDER: THE FAR SIDE OF THE WORLD (Peter Weir, 2003)

An epic sea adventure from the great Peter Weir.

RAIN MAN (Barry Levinson, 1988)

Barry Levinson’s Best Picture winner features a pair of excellent performances from Best Actor winner Dustin Hoffman and Tom Cruise.

STAR TREK: THE MOTION PICTURE/STAR TREK II: THE WRATH OF KHAN/STAR TREK III: THE SEARCH OF SPOCK/STAR TREK V: THE FINAL FRONTIER/STAR TREK: THE UNDISCOVERED COUNTRY/STAR TREK: INSURRECTION (Robert Wise/Nicholas Meyer/Leonard Nimoy/William Shatner/Nicholas Meyer/Jonathon Franks, 1979/1982/1984/1989/1991/1998)

Being more of a Star Wars person my entire life I did not watch a lot of Star Trek, so I’m excited and intrigued to check these films out.

UP IN THE AIR (Jason Reitman, 2009)

George Clooney is sensational in Jason Reitman’s look at a man who makes a living firing people.

DISNEY+

Full list of everything coming to Disney+ in August can be found here.

ANT-MAN AND THE WASP (Peyton Reed, 2018)

One of the most underrated movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

THE PEANUTS MOVIE (Steve Martino, 2015)

A funny, sweet, beautifully animated adaptation of the Charles Schwartz creation.

X-MEN (Bryan Singer, 2000)

One of the most important comic book movies ever made.

CRITERION CHANNEL

Full list of everything coming to Criterion Channel in August can be found here.

*The Criterion Channel does things a little differently than every other streaming service. The Criterion Channel, a wonderful streaming service that focuses on independent, foreign, and under-appreciates movies, doesn’t just throw a bunch of random movies to stream. They get more creative, by having categories like “DOUBLE FEATURES” or “FILMS FROM…”, giving us curated lists of films that somehow blend together or feature a specific artist.*

AUSTRALIAN NEW WAVE

Walkabout (Nicolas Roeg, 1971)

The Cars That Ate Paris (Peter Weir, 1974)

Arguably the coolest heist movie ever made.

AN AMERICAN PICKLE (Brandon Trost, 2020)

An immigrant worker at a pickle factory is accidentally preserved for 100 years and wakes up in modern day Brooklyn. Seth Rogen plays the immigrant worker and his great grandson.

BIRDS OF PREY (AND THE FANTABULOUS EMANCIPATION OF ONE HARLEY QUINN) (Cathy Yan, 2020)

Though I wasn’t the biggest fan of this when I first saw it, Margot Robbie is an absolute delight to watch as Harley Quinn.

THE WAY BACK (Gavin O’Connor, 2020)

Ben Affleck gives the best performance of his career in Gavin O’Connor’s drama about a man trying to turn his life around.
