The Washington Times is indeed a crazy paper. Literally.
The owner is the Reverend Sun Myung Moon. He believes himself to be the Messiah. Sold 12 nuclear missle-capable submarines to North Korea, calls America "Satan's Harvest" and was recently (March, 2004) "corronated" by members of the U.S. Congress in a ceremony held in a Senate office building.
He has also paid for a few speaking engagements by George H.W. Bush. Who has called and saluted Moon as a "man with a vision".
My favorite Moon quote:
Quote:
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.
