(snip)

The time has come for you as well to open your hearts and receive the secrets that Heaven is disclosing in this age through me. In one sense, I am a human being living with a physical body like each of you. But in the context of Heaven's providence, I am God's ambassador, sent to earth with His full authority. I am sent to accomplish His command to save the world's six billion people, restoring them to Heaven with the original goodness in which they were created.

The five great saints and many other leaders in the spirit world, including even Communist leaders such as Marx and Lenin, who committed all manner of barbarity and murders on earth, and dictators such as Hitler and Stalin, have found strength in my teachings, mended their ways and been reborn as new persons. Emperors, kings and presidents who enjoyed opulence and power on earth, and even journalists who had worldwide fame, have now placed themselves at the forefront of the column of the true love revolution. Together they have sent to earth a resolution expressing their determination in the light of my teaching of the true family ideal. They 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. This resolution has been announced on every corner of the globe.

Respected guests, it is now only a matter of time. Look at the world. Do you see anything that gives you real hope for the future? Sooner or later, we have to give what we have to our descendants and leave this world. What gift could be more precious than that of completing the family ideal in your family, so as to guarantee eternal peace and happiness for your children? Surely no one who has such an opportunity should hesitate to take up the task of building the peace kingdom on earth, for which God has waited thousands of years.

I have reached the advanced age of eighty-five, by the Korean way of counting. But I will continue to work harder than anyone else until the day the Earth overflows with God's true families, guns in the Middle East fall silent and give way to fireworks of peace and joy, and shouts of mansei celebrating the unification of my homeland Korea echo across the Pacific to be heard in America. I hope that you leaders representing the world's six billion people in this ceremony will join hands with me. I call you to take the lead in building what is God's original ideal and the desire of all humanity, the peace kingdom on the Earth.

on edit: in all fairness, I don't know that this guy actually addressed Congress, or if this was just one of those things that some sympathetic Member had read into the record . . . my guess is the latter, but who knows? . . .

1. Oh, Good,

Now I can relax.

2. What is this asshole doing in our Congress?

:grr:

6. Ask why he hosted the bush inaugural breakfast, if you REALLY want a clue

as to how dialed into the GOP and PNAC he is.

3. Perhaps this is what Bush meant when he said

the United States ought to return to the Moon.

Bushies and Moonies are thick. It's sick, sick, sick. Not to mention scary.

At the 20th anniversary of The Washington Times, Moon said the paper's mission was to "spread the truth of God to the world." And God and Moon are pretty much the same in his reasoning.

4. Moon, the Bush family, and Rummy, too

They go way back.

Rev. Moon, the Bushes & Donald Rumsfeld

by Robert Parry

 
George W. Bush’s choice of Donald Rumsfeld to be U.S. defense secretary could put an unintended spotlight on the role of the Rev. Sun Myung Moon – a Bush family benefactor – in funneling millions of dollars to communist North Korea in the 1990s as it was developing a missile and nuclear weapons program.

11. Dems were also invited

I don't know who actually attended, but I can't wait to tell all the fundies I know in the South about how La Haye loves this guy who says that Jesus was a failure, while he is the true messiah.

7. "Eees not the messiah!... Now bugger off."

It is a rather grim state of affairs when the deluded ramblings of such a greedy charlatan is allowed to soil the hallowed halls of Congress.

8. here's a great blog keeping track of Moon

and other whack jobs.

Always bet on Black 

Let's take a closer look at the "invitational committee" listed for Rev. Moon's March 23 address, when the pleasure of his company at the Dirksen Senate Office Building was requested, and Moon informed assorted Congressmen and others that he was the Messiah. In tiny print:

Why, it's Mr. Charles Black, the ultimate Republican insider! A strategist in the Bush Sr. and Reagan campaigns, he's chairman of BKSH & Associates -- a public relations firm which represents Ahmed Chalabi, of the Iraqi exiles. From the Seattle Times:

BKSH & Associates, whose chairman, Charles Black Jr., played key roles in the campaigns of Bush and his father, gained valuable contacts when it represented the Iraqi National Congress, an alliance of Iraqi exiles opposed to the government of Saddam Hussein, many of whom now hold power in the provisional government set up by the United States.

9. Does this mean the Moons are out of the gun business?

"...guns in the Middle East fall silent and give way to fireworks of peace and joy"

10. check out the blog link above..

I wonder if Moon gave lots and lots of money to Chalabi or some other such, and this is his payback?

The love of money is the root of all whoredom.
