Funny you should mention this, because one of the few time I;ve dealt with outright prejudiced mocking in the professional world is from Washington Times photographer J.M. Eddins, Jr. Here is a link to some of his stellar work:

note: in an earlier post you called Hyun Jin “Preston” Moon, Moon’s youngest son. He is in fact Moon’s third son by the current marriage and the expected heir to the Moon throne. A Nepal paper last year reported his parent’s “spiritual powers” had been bestowed on him. He will continue to push Moon’s ideology. The reason Hyun Jin has been moved up the chain of command is that Moon’s second son, by this marriage, died. Moon’s first son who all would think would be the heir …well you can watch this for why he was likely demoted:

Archibald is still stuck in his world of the Washington Times being something other than Moon’s money draining political manipulation machine. Moon wanted a right wing political climate in America so his beloved theocrats could flourish. The Washington Times has played an integral role in his relentless effort at gaining influence over the direction of our nation and the world. The paper gives Moon huge face around the world where he is introduced as the “owner of the prestigious Washington Times.”

The claim of “editorial Independence” is a huge head fake and not true. Editors with principles left the paper in the 80s - it took someone who could rationalize like Pruden in concert with de Borchgrave to run the paper like Moon wanted it. But the independence is not the point; the paper was created to manipulate America - which Moon calls the “Second Israel” - politically. It is to provide a right wing and increasingly theocratic America for Moon.

Moon said one reason he started the paper in 1982 was to “protect Reagan” - Moon has openly bragged about how he has “influenced America through the Washington Times and [his] other activities.” Astoundingly the right has lapped it up allowing their political movement to be molded right, authoritarian and theocratic by Moon’s front groups, operatives, and billions in overseas cash.

If you are going to report about the WT, I suggest you start by taking a look at one source of the funds brought into the USA to fund it.

It isn’t pretty.

Mr. Archibald, like Moon’s followers are trained to do, loves to act like any criticism of the paper and its owners is religious persecution, this is pure hogwash. Moon’s is a highly successful political organization. A follower and head of Moon’s political front in the 70s testified under oath before congress that the Moon organization is a political one, not a religion.

I suggest you watch this panel form 1991 made up of three staunchly conservative former editors of Moon’s media who have principles. This is a quote is from James Whelan the highly recruited first editor of the WT. Unlike some, Whelan faced up to what he had helped by aiding Moon and said he had blood on his hands for doing so.

“They (the Moonies) are subverting our political system. They’re doing it through front organizations–most of them disguised–and through their funding of independent organizations–through the placement of volunteers in the inner sanctums of hard-pressed organizations. In every instance–in every instance–those who attend their conferences, those who accept their money or their volunteers, delude themselves that there is no loss of virtue because the Moonies have not proselytized. That misses the central, crucial point: the Moonies are a political movement in religious clothing. Moon seeks power, not the salvation of souls. To achieve that, he needs religious fanatics as his palace guard and shock troops. But more importantly, he needs secular conscripts–seduced by money, free trips, free services, seemingly endless bounty and booty–in order to give him respectability and, with it, that image of influence which translates as power.”

Someone should ask Mr. Archibald if he supports Moon’s “religion” when it busts a newspaper and threatens the life of a reporter. I am sure this story never appeared in the WT.

here is more on the “independence” of the WT.

One last thing…. Moon’s followers know perfectly well what “Father’s projects” are all about and how they are intended work in unison with the “religion” to push the world to Moon’s ideology. Why is it that the American public has not been allowed to be in on the ruse?

quoting Moon:

So please take spiritual dominion in your states. You can proclaim spiritually to the government leaders, “I am the elder brother, you are the younger brother.” Teach them what you have learned. I invited many congressmen and senators to come to conferences to be educated. Though they may not proclaim openly, many of them support me. Through the Washington Times, Insight magazine, and the World and I, I have been preparing the foundation for you to influence America.
