I'm wondering if this will be the "October Surprise" everyone is so
concerned with, including myself. On or about Halloween (the day
before, the day after, thereabouts) there will be some very sudden
change. It has to do with the Moons (two of them and they were not
full but two pieces or slivers of Moon, cresents), and at first I
thought it was with respect the "Moon Nations" as in those nations who
are symbolized by and worship the moon's influence (the physical Moon,
not Rev. Moon) but after coming across this article below and reading
more about Rev. Moon, especially the ties in Paraguay and South
America, I'm now wondering if there is a dual meaning here (there
usually is multiple meanings in the same vision) that has to do with
Rev. Moon. I had a prior vision a few years ago, that I mentioned in
this forum in detail in September that had to do with the fall equinox
and I believe that is also tied to all of this. In that vision, I saw
a tail of land as with an inlet or a bay. Then I saw the Earth as if
from space and the moon appeared from behind the Earth and rose up high
and a beam of light was shining down on a spot on the Earth. It was a
high,full, bright moon. I then saw Earth and the Sun and the Sun
rapidly moved away from Earth, retreated. I saw faces . It appeared
to be Osama Bin Laden. I then saw fire as if from hell, then an
elephant (what I perceive to be the neo-cons and radical right) moving
out of the fire backwards through the air or space with the fire
engulfing it's base where the feet were. (vision February 13, 2007).
This vision immediately followed a dream where I saw an address from
California and I was thinking "Rican" because of "Puerto Rico".
Northern California. Gray hoodie like Unibomber but face was not seen
as if head was down. Male, person was a man. I thought bomb. (from my
notes)
In addition, while talking to a friend on the phone a couple of weeks
ago, and they were discussing the "web bot" stuff, while hearing them
talk, I had an image of a pirate's face, complete with eye patch that
morphed into Bin Laden's face/head and I heard "October Surprise". Somali pirates attack two more ships in Indian Ocean
In my heart I know Bin Laden is dead so whenever I see his face in a
vision, I think of false flag attacks. Previously, and also associated
with a time frame around Halloween and the visions mentioned below of
the army men, I saw a ship that was torpedoed and I saw Bin Laden's
face above it. At that time, a ship was attacked and charged by a gang
of "pirates"
Pirates Attack Cruise Ship, Fire Rocket-Propelled Grenade But Ship .... and
BBC NEWS | World | Africa | Cruise ship repels Somali pirates
When reading the news of this at the time, I somehow "knew" that this event was staged for whatever reason.
As I did back in 2005 for a
period of time before Halloween, in the past several months, I have had
many visions that have to do with ships and bombings and Halloween.
Based on what I saw last night that is associated with these crescent
portions of Moon, there is going to be a rupture in a relationship,
broken, or torn somehow and it either has to do with Pakistan or there
is some kind of relation, bond, tie or commonality with Pakistan. It's
a big deal whatever it is and it's sudden and, again, it has to do with
Halloween and I see this as the time the event will take place. I just
found this from today's news: North Korea threatens to freeze ties with South and, more importantly, this North Korea Threatens Freeze in Its Relations With South Korea and another S&P may downgrade seven Korean banks and one more America removes North Korea from black list
The visions were rather vivid but, unfortunately, each time a vivid
image was coming through, the damn cats or the dog would interrupt me
without pause and I would lose the entire vision so what I saw was only
broken bits and pieces.
I think Last night's visions also tie into my visions from several
years ago that were also associated with "Halloween" and "ships" and
"bombings/torpedoes", where I saw military men walking/marching
strangely with the legs bolt straight, never bending their knees
holding these "orange squares" (I associated that to the Nuclear threat
level). Back then (2005) I searched for images of armies that matched
what I saw and I found them - they were North Koreans, just like this See full-size image.
There is a Nostradamus' quatrain, Century X , Quatrain 49 that I was
reminded of when I read in Wikipedia that Rev. Moon had a residence in
"East Garden City" along the Hudson River. I immediately thought of
this Quatrain:
Century X , Quatrain 49
The king will want to enter the new city,
Through its enemies they will come to subdue it
Captives liberated to speak and act falsely,
King to be outside, he will keep far from the enemy.
Garden of the world near the new city,
In the path of the hollow mountains,
It will be seized and plunged into the Vat,
Drinking by force the waters poisoned by sulfur.

Dark Side of Rev. Moon: Hooking George Bush
By Robert Parry
Last fall, the Rev. Sun Myung Moon's latest foray into the high-priced
world of media and politics was in trouble. South American journalists
were writing scathingly about Moon's plan to open a regional newspaper
that the 77-year-old founder of the Korean-based Unification Church
hoped would give him the same influence in Latin America that the
ultra-conservative Washington Times had in the United States.
As opening day ticked closer for Moon's Tiempos del Mundo,
leading South American newspapers were busy recounting unsavory
chapters of Moon's history, including his links with South Korea's
feared intelligence service and with violent anti-communist
organizations that some commentaries said bordered on neo-fascist.
Indeed, in the early 1980s, amid widespread human rights abuses, Moon
had used friendships with the military dictators in Argentina and
Uruguay to invest in those two countries. Moon was such a pal of the
Argentine generals that he garnered an honorary award for siding with
Argentina's junta in the Falklands War. [UPI, Nov. 16, 1984]
More recently, Moon has been buying large tracts of agricultural lands in Paraguay. La Nacion reported that Moon had discussed these business ventures with Paraguay's ex-dictator Alfredo Stroessner. [Nov. 19, 1996]
Moon's disciples fumed about the critical stories and accused the
Argentine news media of trying to sabotage the newspaper's inaugural
gala in Buenos Aires on Nov. 23. "The local press was trying to
undermine the event," complained the church's internal newsletter, Unification News. [December 1996]
Given the controversy, Argentina's elected president, Carlos Menem, did
decide to reject Moon's invitation. But Moon had a trump card to play
in his bid for South American respectability: the endorsement of an
ex-president of the United States, George Bush. Agreeing to speak at
the newspaper's launch, Bush flew aboard a private plane, arriving in
Buenos Aires on Nov. 22. Bush stayed at Menem's official residence, the
Olivos. But Bush failed to change the Argentine president's mind.
Still, Moon's followers gushed that Bush had saved the day, as he
stepped before about 900 Moon guests at the Sheraton Hotel. "Mr. Bush's
presence as keynote speaker gave the event invaluable prestige," wrote
the Unification News.
"Father [Moon] and Mother [Mrs. Moon] sat with several of the True
Children [Moon's offspring] just a few feet from the podium."
Bush lavished praise on Moon and his journalistic enterprises. "I want to salute Reverend Moon, who is the founder of The Washington Times and also of Tiempos del Mundo," Bush declared. "A lot of my friends in South America don't know about The Washington Times, but it is an independent voice. The editors of The Washington Times tell me that never once has the man with the vision interfered with the
running of the paper, a paper that in my view brings sanity to
Washington, D.C. I am convinced that Tiempos del Mundo is going to do the same thing" in Latin America.
Bush then held up the colorful new newspaper and complimented several
articles, including one flattering piece about Barbara Bush. Bush's
speech was so effusive that it surprised even Moon's followers.
"Once again, heaven turned a disappointment into a victory," the Unification News exulted. "Everyone was delighted to hear his compliments. We knew he
would give an appropriate and 'nice' speech, but praise in Father's
presence was more than we expected. ... It was vindication. We could
just hear a sigh of relief from Heaven."
Bush's endorsement of The Washington Times' editorial
independence also was not truthful. Almost since it opened in 1982, a
string of senior editors and correspondents have resigned, citing the
manipulation of the news by Moon and his subordinates. The first
editor, James Whelan, resigned in 1984, confessing that he had "blood
on his hands" for helping the church achieve greater legitimacy.
Money Talks
But Bush's boosterism was just what Moon needed in South America. "The day after," the Unification News observed, "the press did a 180-degree about-turn once they realized
that the event had the support of a U.S. president." With Bush's help,
Moon had gained another beachhead for his worldwide
business-religious-political-media empire.
After the event, Menem told reporters from La Nacion that Bush had claimed privately to be only a mercenary who did not
really know Moon. "Bush told me he came and charged money to do it,"
Menem said. [Nov. 26, 1996]. But Bush was not telling Menem the whole
story. By last fall, Bush and Moon had been working in political tandem
for at least a decade and a half. The ex-president also had been
moonlighting as a front man for Moon for more than a year.
In September 1995, Bush and his wife, Barbara, gave six speeches in
Asia for the Women's Federation for World Peace, a group led by Moon's
wife, Hak Ja Han Moon. In one speech on Sept. 14 to 50,000 Moon
supporters in Tokyo, Bush insisted that "what really counts is faith,
family and friends." Mrs. Moon followed the ex-president to the podium
and announced that "it has to be Reverend Moon to save the United
States, which is in decline because of the destruction of the family
and moral decay." [Washington Post, Sept. 15, 1995]
In summer 1996, Bush was lending his prestige to Moon again. Bush
addressed the Moon-connected Family Federation for World Peace in
Washington, an event that gained notoriety when comedian Bill Cosby
tried to back out of his contract after learning of Moon's connection.
Bush had no such qualms. [WP, July 30, 1996]
Throughout these public appearances, Bush's office has refused to
divulge how much Moon-affiliated organizations have paid the
ex-president. But estimates of Bush's fee for the Buenos Aires
appearance alone ran between $100,000 and $500,000. Sources close to
the Unification Church have put the total Bush-Moon package in the
millions, with one source telling The Consortium that Bush stood to make as much as $10 million.
Bush also may have other Argentine business deals in the works with Moon. On Nov. 16, 1996, La Nacion quoted businessmen as saying that Bush and Moon were keeping an eye on
plans to privatize the hydroelectric complex of Yacyreta, a joint $12
billion Paraguayan-Argentine project to dam the Parana River.
Foreign Influence
Still, the Bush-Moon alliance
is not strictly about money -- and it did not start in Bush's
post-presidency. It dates back at least to the start of the Reagan-Bush
era -- when Moon was a VIP guest at the first Reagan-Bush inauguration
-- and it could extend into the next century as the ex-president works
to shore up conservative support for his eldest son, Texas Gov. George
W. Bush, who is expected to run for the White House in 2000.
Sources close to Bush say the ex-president has worked hard to pull
well-to-do conservatives and their money behind his son's candidacy.
Without doubt, Moon is one of the deepest pockets in right-wing
circles, having financed important conservative activists from both the
Religious Right, such as the Rev. Jerry Falwell, and Inside-the-Beltway
right-wing professionals.
A silent testimony to Moon's clout is the fact that his vast spending
of billions of dollars in secretive Asian money to influence U.S.
politics -- spanning nearly a quarter century -- has gone virtually
unmentioned amid the current controversy over Asian donations to U.S.
politicians.
With unintended irony, Moon's Washington Times repeatedly has featured stories about secret Asian money going to
Democrats. "More than a million dollars of this foreign money is
believed to have been contributed to the Democrats, putting the
election up for auction," charged Times' editor Wesley Pruden in a typical column. [Oct. 18, 1996]
The blind spot on Moon is especially curious since there have been U.S.
government allegations dating back to the 1970s that Moon's
organization fronted for the South Korean CIA and funnelled money to
Washington for right-wing Japanese industrialists. For the past 15
years, The Washington Times has been the most obvious conduit for this foreign money. The newspaper and its sister publications -- Insight and The World & I -- have cost Moon an estimated $1 billion in losses. Yet, Moon has never accounted for the sources of his money.
Moon's jingle of deep-pocket cash also has caused conservatives to turn
a deaf ear toward Moon's recent anti-American diatribes. With growing
virulence, Moon has denounced the United States and its democratic
principles, often referring to America as "Satanic." But these
statements have gone virtually unreported, even though the texts of his
sermons are carried on the Internet and their timing has coincided with
Bush's warm endorsements of Moon.
"America has become the kingdom of individualism, and its people are
individualists," Moon preached in Tarrytown, N.Y., on March 5, 1995.
"You must realize that America has become the kingdom of Satan."
In similar remarks to followers on Aug. 4, 1996, Moon vowed that the
church's eventual dominance over the United States would be followed by
the liquidation of American individualism. "Americans who continue to
maintain their privacy and extreme individualism are foolish people,"
Moon declared. "The world will reject Americans who continue to be so
foolish. Once you have this great power of love, which is big enough to
swallow entire America, there may be some individuals who complain
inside your stomach. However, they will be digested."
During the same sermon, Moon decried assertive American women.
"American women have the tendency to consider that women are in the
subject position," he said. "However, woman's shape is like that of a
receptacle. The concave shape is a receiving shape. Whereas, the convex
shape symbolizes giving. ... Since man contains the seed of life, he
should plant it in the deepest place.
"Does woman contain the seed of life? ["No."] Absolutely not. Then if
you desire to receive the seed of life, you have to become an absolute
object. In order to qualify as an absolute object, you need to
demonstrate absolute faith, love and obedience to your subject.
Absolute obedience means that you have to negate yourself 100 percent."
Evil Hamburgers
These pronouncements contrast
with Moon's lavish praise of the United States disseminated for public
consumption during his early forays to Washington. On Sept. 18, 1976,
at a flag-draped rally at the Washington Monument, Moon declared that
"the United States of America, transcending race and nationality, is
already a model of the unified world." He called America "the chosen
nation of God" and added that "I not only respect America, but truly
love this nation."
Yet, even as Moon has soured on America, his recruiters continue to use
that flag-draped scene of the Washington Monument to lure new
followers. The patriotic image struck powerfully with John Stacey when
the college freshman watched a video of that speech while undergoing
Unification Church recruitment in 1992.
"American flags were everywhere," recalled Stacey, a thin young man
from central New Jersey. "The first video they showed me was Reverend
Moon praising America and praising Christianity." In 1992, Stacey
considered himself a patriotic American and a faithful Christian. He
soon joined the Unification Church.
Stacey became a Pacific Northwest leader in Moon's Collegiate
Association for the Research of Principles [CARP]. "They liked to hang
me up because I'm young and I'm American," Stacey told me. "It's a good
image for the church. They try to create the all-American look, where I
think they're usurping American values, that they're anti-American."
At a 1995 leadership conference at a church compound in Anchorage,
Alaska, Stacey met face-to-face with Moon who was sitting on a
throne-like chair while a group of American followers, many middle-aged
converts from the 1970s, sat at his feet like children.
"Reverend Moon looked at me straight in the eye and said, 'America is
Satanic. America is so Satanic that even hamburgers should be
considered evil, because they come from America'," recalled Stacey.
"Hamburgers! My father was a butcher, so that bothered me. ... I
started feeling that I was betraying my country."
Moon's criticism of Jesus also unsettled Stacey. "In the church, it's
very anti-Jesus," Stacey said. "Jesus failed miserably. He died a
lonely death. Reverend Moon is the hero that comes and saves pathetic
Jesus. Reverend Moon is better than God. ... That's why I left the
Moonies. Because it started to feel like idolatry. He's promoting
idolatry."
One-World Theocracy
Despite growing disaffection
among many longtime followers and other problems, Moon's empire still
prospers financially, backed by vast sources of mysterious wealth.
"It's a multi-billion-dollar international conglomerate," noted Steve
Hassan, a former church leader who has written a book about religious
cults, entitled Combatting Cult Mind Control. At his Internet site, Hassan has a 31-page list of organizations connected to the Unification Church, many secretively.
"Here's a man [Moon] who says he wants to take over the world, where
all religions will be abolished except Unificationism, all languages
will be abolished except Korean, all governments will be abolished
except his one-world theocracy," Hassan said in an interview. "Yet he's
wined and dined very powerful people and convinced them that he's
benign."
Hassan argued that perhaps the greatest danger of the Unification
Church is that it will outlive Moon, since the organization has grown
so immense and powerful that other leaders will step forward to lead
it. "There are groups out there that want to use this organization,"
Hassan said.
A couple of years ago, Moon shifted his personal base of operation to a
luxurious estate in Uruguay. The church has been investing tens of
millions of dollars in that nation since the early 1980s when Moon was
close to the military government. In a sermon on Jan. 2, 1996, Moon was
unusually blunt about how he expected the church's wealth to buy
influence among the powerful in South America, just as it did in
Washington.
"Father has been practicing the philosophy of fishing here," Moon said,
through an interpreter who spoke of Moon in the third person. "He
[Moon] gave the bait to Uruguay and then the bigger fish of Argentina,
Brazil and Paraguay kept their mouths open, waiting for a bigger bait
silently. The bigger the fish, the bigger the mouth. Therefore, Father
is able to hook them more easily."
As part of his business strategy, Moon explained that he would dot the
continent with small airstrips and construct bases for submarines which
could evade Coast Guard patrols. His airfield project would allow
tourists to visit "hidden, untouched, small places" throughout South
America, he said.
"Therefore, they need small airplanes and small landing strips in the
remote countryside. ... In the near future, we will have many small
airports throughout the world." Moon wanted the submarines because
"there are so many restrictions due to national boundaries worldwide.
If you have a submarine, you don't have to be bound in that way."
Moon also recognized the importance of media in protecting his curious
operations, which sound like an invitation to drug traffickers. He
boasted to his followers that with his vast array of political and
media assets, he will dominate the new Information Age. "That is why
Father has been combining and organizing scholars from all over the
world, and also newspaper organizations -- in order to make
propaganda," Moon said. Central to that success in South America is Tiempos del Mundo.
Iran-Contra Cover-up
Moon pursued a similar strategy in the United States. In the early 1980s, Ronald Reagan hailed The Washington Times as his favorite newspaper and Moon's editors rewarded the Reagan-Bush administration with unwavering loyalty.
In the mid-1980s, for instance, when journalists and Congress began
prying into Oliver North's secret support for the Nicaraguan contras
and their ties to drug trafficking, Moon's paper led the
counter-attack. "Story on [contra] drug smuggling denounced as
political ploy" was the subtitle of a front-page Washington Times article criticizing a piece that Brian Barger and I had written for The Associated Press about a Miami-based federal probe into gun- and drug-running by the contras. [April 11, 1986]
When Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., uncovered more evidence of contra drug trafficking in 1986, The Washington Times denounced him. The newspaper first published articles suggesting that
Kerry was on a wasteful political witch hunt. "Kerry's anti-contra
efforts extensive, expensive, in vain," announced one Times article. [Aug. 13, 1986]
But when Kerry exposed more and more contra wrongdoing, The Washington Times changed tactics. In 1987, it began intimidating Kerry's staff with
front-page accusations that they were obstructing justice. "Kerry
staffers damaged FBI probe," declared one Times article. It
opened with the assertion that "congressional investigators for Sen.
John Kerry severely damaged a federal drug investigation last summer by
interfering with a witness while pursuing allegations of drug smuggling
by the Nicaraguan resistance [the contras], federal law enforcement
officials said." [Jan. 21, 1987]
As the Iran-contra scandal continued to spread and threatened Bush's
public insistence that he was "out of the loop," Moon's paper turned
its fire on special prosecutor Lawrence Walsh. Over and over, the paper
attacked Walsh for allegedly wasting money with first-class air fare
and room-service meals.
When former CIA clandestine services chief Clair George was on trial for false statements, The Washington Times published a front-page story with the two-column headline, "GOP
Questions Walsh Spending." [Aug. 4, 1992] That morning, George's CIA
supporters held the headline up so the jury could see the anti-Walsh
allegations. Throughout the Iran-contra scandal, the paper played a
crucial role in protecting the cover-up. [For details, see Walsh's new
book, Firewall.]
Time and again, Moon's Washington Times went to bat for Bush. When Bush lagged behind Michael Dukakis in the early days of the 1988 presidential race, the Times falsely implied that Dukakis had undergone psychiatric care. The story
drew national attention and raised early doubts about Dukakis's fitness
for the White House.
In 1992, the newspaper promoted Bush's re-election by running stories
about Bill Clinton's collegiate trip to Moscow. Those stories suggested
that the Rhodes scholar was a spy for the KGB. Four years later, with
the Republicans hoping to oust Clinton, The Washington Times reversed field with a contradictory banner story: "Was Bill Clinton a junior spy for the CIA?" [June 24, 1996]
In 2000, Moon's newspaper could give similar boosts to the expected
presidential candidacy of Gov. George W. Bush. After all, his father
has shown that he knows how to reward his allies no matter how
unsavory.
For Moon's part, the self-proclaimed Korean messiah has succeeded in
hooking many big fish in Washington -- "the bigger the fish, the bigger
the mouth" -- but none bigger than former President George Bush. ~
