North Korea, Missiles, and Rev Moon

Putting aside the "3-4 year-old" intelligence [oxymoron] that has Washington and the media freaking out at the moment, there seems to be a more immediate issue. North Korea is deploying nuclear sea-based missiles that could be used to target the west coast. [Reuters]

U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency documents show -- North Korean dictator Kim Jong-Il received the warheads by way of the Reverend Sun Myung Moon. [Gorenfeld]

Reverend Moon, owner of the Washington Times and the self proclaimed 2nd coming of Christ, was recently crowned in front of 81 Congressmen in a bizarre coronation ceremony. With a long financial and political relationship with the Bush family, Rev Moon has declared “There will be a purge on God's orders, and evil will be eliminated like shadows. Gays will be eliminated, the 3 Israels will unite. If not then they will be burned. We do not know what kind of world God will bring but this is what happens. It will be greater than the communist purge but at God's orders.”

For all things Moonie, visit John Gorenfeld’s blog.
