Moon Over Kerry

Is Sun Myung Moon, self-proclaimed Messiah, True Father, and major
media magnate, out to get John Kerry? Award-winning investigative
producer Robert Parry thinks so, and recently laid out his case in a
detailed report ("Kerry Attacker Protected Rev. Moon") on his web
site.

As I reported last week (Sinclair Plays Fast and Loose with the News)
Carlton Sherwood, producer of the controversial anti-Kerry film
"Stolen Honor: Wounds That Never Heal," wrote an investigative book in
the 1980s looking into the activities of Sun Myung Moon and followers
in the Unification Church. In "Inquisition: The Prosecution and
Persecution of Reverend Sun Myung Moon," Sherwood concluded that Moon
and his associates "were and continued to be the victims of the worst
kind of religious prejudice and racial bigotry this country has
witnessed in over a century."

But, as was revealed in "The Resurrection of Reverend Moon," my 1992
documentary for the PBS Frontline series, there is ample reason to
question Sherwood's conclusions, since evidence exists that Moon
subsidized the book -- promising to purchase 100,000 copies of
Inquisition -- and that he played a role in the creation of it. A
letter, addressed to Moon from his aide James Gavin, stated that Gavin
had reviewed the "overall tone and factual contents" of Inquisition
before publication and had suggested revisions.

"Mr. Sherwood has assured me that all this will be done when the
manuscript is sent to the publisher," Gavin wrote. "When all of our
suggestions have been incorporated, the book will be complete and in
my opinion will make a significant impact. In addition to silencing
our critics now, the book should be invaluable in persuading others of
our legitimacy for many years to come."

It's therefore fair to ask, as Parry does, whether or not "Sherwood's
longstanding ties to Moon's organization raise other troubling
questions." Although Sherwood and his publisher deny any impropriety,
it is undeniable that the book was part of a successful campaign to
rehabilitate Moon following his 1982 conviction for tax law violations
and to muzzle his critics.

Meanwhile, the purported Messiah was taking other media measures to
help himself and a wide range of conservative pals, spending literally
billions of dollars on a variety of print and video outlets -- most
notably the daily Washington Times, created in 1982 as an amplifier
for conservative voices. As a result, Moon was able to gain access at
the very highest levels of the US Government - including to Presidents
Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush, who accepted hundreds of thousands
of dollars from Moon's organization for giving speeches after leaving
the White House.

As quid for a presumed subsequent quo, Moon's newspaper regularly
promoted numerous conservative causes, including that of the 'contra'
rebels fighting to overthrow Nicaragua's leftist Sandinista
government. His organization and the Reagan-Bush team also cooperated
in covering up evidence of a contra-connected drug smuggling ring.

That same contra-cocaine-connection was the subject, in 1986, of a
Senate investigation by -- you guessed it -- John Kerry. Soon Kerry
found himself under the microscope of the Washington Times, as the
newspaper attacked his probe for being "extensive, expensive, in
vain," as one headline put it.

Later, in front-page articles, the Times accused Kerry's staff of
obstructing justice because the investigation allegedly interfered
with federal government efforts to get at the truth. "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, federal
law enforcement officials said," one of the articles reported.

Kerry's investigation concluded that "individuals who provided support
for the contras were involved in drug trafficking, the supply network
of the contras was used by drug trafficking organizations, and
elements of the contras themselves knowingly received financial and
material assistance from drug traffickers. . . In each case, one or
another agency of the U.S. government had information regarding the
involvement either while it was occurring or immediately thereafter."

But The New York Times (and other mainstream media) didn't take
Kerry's findings any more seriously than the Washington Times.
Newsweek summed up the prevailing wisdom, calling Kerry a "randy
conspiracy buff."

Years later, of course, the CIA's own inspector general corroborated
Kerry's findings, reporting that both contras and contra-related
entities had become involved in the cocaine trade during the 1980s,
and that incriminating information known to the Reagan-Bush
administration was withheld from Congress.

Now it appears that Moon may be trying to keep its old adversary out
of the White House and away from control of the Justice Department.
First the Washington Times began battering Kerry regularly again, and
then Carlton Sherwood re-appeared to call Kerry a traitor for his
anti-Vietnam War activities -- on the largest chain of television
stations in the United States, one with substantial and well
documented political ties to the Republicans.

Do conservatives want to make sure another Moon-friendly Bush stays in
the White House? Would a Kerry victory mean trouble for Moon and his
media empire? And what's with all these born-again Christians from the
religious right consorting with a man who's dubbed himself the
Messiah? Inquiring minds want to know.
