    FTA: " In one recent rant at his New York estate, Sun Myung Moon even warned that he might shut down the Washington Times because of his anger over the dissension.

    “Even if I get rid of the Washington Times, I can create a better newspaper company in Russia or China within six months,” Moon told a gathering of his Unification Church followers on Sept. 18, 2009, according to notes published at a Moon Web site.

    “I worry whether to keep the Washington Times alive. The Washington Times has to take responsibility for people going to hell in America.” "

      That's one weird story!
      It would be unbelievable if it was set in a banana republic but in the "heartland" of the US.

        Such a sordid family, corrupt and using religion to further their own worldly desires. And there are many Americans who buy into this crap with the Republicans at the head of the line in bootlicking for donations.
