Part 1 of this article, "The Unholy Alliance:
Christianity & The NWO" dealt generally with
the relationship between this nations' leading
evangelicals, Rev Sun Myung Moon, and the U.S.
Intelligence community as strange bedfellows. This short
follow up will attempt to go deeper into the makeup of
these organizations, and how they work together. Every
attempt to document the claims, statements and facts
herein have been made so as not to unjustly accuse or
impugn the integrity of those mentioned. But in the end,
if such an unholy alliance exists, there are manifold
truths which likely will never surface to the light of
day for exposure and examination. We will deal with what
can be verified be reasonable sources.
Amazingly, most of these organizations are almost
entirely made up of the same individuals. Trinity
Broadcasting Network, Christian Broadcasting and most
leading evangelicals/pastors in this unique electronic
limelight are also directly associated with these
groups, or have been in the past. The vast majority of
these men have spent decades making forays into
political groups of this nature.
The question is, what are they doing? Where would
these 'Moon money men' lead the flock they say God has
charged them with as shepherds? Is it untoward to ask
such questions, to scrutinize their political
involvement with Moon? We think not. In fact, we feel it
is imperative.
We have already shown that some evangelicals have
unabashedly admitted Moon sponsorship, such as Jerry
Falwell. It seems that most though try to sweep this
dirt under the rug. Is their ultimate goal to lead the
religious right blindly and willingly into the NWO,
something openly hailed by preachers and president's
alike?
Billy Graham
In 1992, broadcast across the US on Graham's radio
program "Embrace America 2000," after Bush Sr.
gave his now infamous New World Order Speech, the Rev.
Billy Graham said that we should "embrace"
this "New World Order".
In Erwin Wilsons book, "The Assimilation of
Evangelist Billy Graham into the Roman Catholic
Church" the renowned Bob Jones who wrote the
forward said, " "Some of us who grieved over
Graham's first downward steps toward compromise with
apostasy and biblical unbelief knew that he was pursuing
a direction from which there would be no turning back.
While we grieved over him and prayed for him, we had to
warn men against his ministry as we had warned Billy
against his direction."
Protestant Church Life Magazine quoted Graham in its
Sept. 29, 1956 issue, 'Referring to the Billy Graham New
York Crusade scheduled for May, 1957, Dr. Graham said:
"We're coming to New York not to clean it up, but
to get people to dedicate themselves to God and to send
them on to their own churches -- Catholic, Protestant or
Jewish." This has remained the practice of Graham
to this day. The Charlotte Observer reported on a press
release of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association,
where Billy Graham lashes out at Southern Baptists who
desire to evangelize Jews for Christ. Graham makes it
clear that he firmly opposes "proselytizing"
the Jews; Billy Graham's unbiblical teaching is that, if
you are a Jew, you are already part of the Body of
Christ, even if you reject Jesus. All Jews, Graham
states "are engrafted into the Christian
Church." And yet, many of Graham's past statements
have proved to be antisemitic, as recently embarrassing
Nixon White house tapes have revealed.
In 1982, Billy Graham was awarded the Templeton Prize
for "progress in religion", a cash reward of
roughly 1 Million dollars. Graham in turn endorsed Sir
John Marks Templeton's books in "Christianity
Today" magazine. Templeton is a universalist (1),
just like Moon, preaching/teaching the unity and
unification of all world religions. Other recipients of
the Templeton award have been Charles Colson (1993) and
Bill Bright (1996), founder of Campus Crusade for
Christ. Templeton's New Age unification principles and
teachings were introduced dramatically into the
Christian mainstream by Robert Schuller in 1986, who
continues to endorse the man and his doctrines. For
decades Graham has offered a confusing doctrinal stance.
Billy Graham said, "I found that my beliefs are
essentially the same as those of orthodox Catholics. We
only differ on some matters of later church tradition. I
find that my beliefs are essentially the same as those
of orthodox Roman Catholics" (Jan 1978, McCall's
Magazine).
In the book "Billy Graham, A Parable of American
Righteousness" by Marshal Frady, we see a very
different picture of Graham. Frady has spent much time
interviewing Graham, and those close to him. He
documents that Graham at a New York Crusade refused to
allow street people into the crusade because they were
dirty, a loathsome violation of every Christian creed
toward the poor, to whom the Gospel Jesus made
declaration. This is tantamount to the Galatians
incident in scripture when Peter, fearing the reproach
of certain Judaisers of wealth and status, withdrew
himself from associating with gentiles, and the Apostle
Paul had to oppose him to his face publicly, "for
he was to be blamed" (Galatians 2:11, The New
Testament). With the release of the Nixon tapes we see a
very shaky, strangely unchristian past for Graham.
He is also quoted as saying, "Pope John Paul II
has emerged as the greatest religious leader of the
modern world and one of the greatest moral...leaders of
this century." (The Saturday Evening Post, Feb,
1980.) Though Graham is stating a fact, how does it
reflect on his ministry of the Gospel of Jesus Christ
from a Protestant position? More examples of a
homogenization of the message and messengers for the
sake of public appeal. "Pope John Paul II, often
called "The Marian Pope," has stirred
countless millions of Europeans to have faith in
strange, supernatural Marian apparitions which directly
challenge the Word of God, the Supremacy and Divinity of
Jesus Christ and the Scriptural means of salvation
("Messages From Heaven," Eternal Productions,
http://video.labargemedia.com/html/index.htm )"
In "The Deadly Deception", by Jim Shaw, an
ex-33rd degree mason (Masons are believed by many to be
associated with the Illuminati, and to be the driving
force behind the NWO) p. 104-105, Shaw relates how
Graham was present at his ceremony initiating him into
the 33rd degree. Only freemasons are allowed to attend
these ceremonies. Huffington house refused to publish
this book until after Grahams' name was removed, and in
place a simple reference to "a well known
evangelist" was supplemented. Robert Schuller
(Crystal Cathedral/Self-help pulpit guru), Norman
Vincent Peale (Positive Thinking apostle), and Oral
Roberts (Godfather of the "seed-faith"
doctrines in contemporary fundamentalist-charismatic
Christianity) are all admittedly 33rd degree Masons. The
rites of the Masonic order, the writings of Albert Pike
and the requisites for Masonic initiates are distinctly
and undeniably counter to Christian doctrine and faith.
He is a supporter of the National Council of Churches
and the World Council of Churches, where a belief in
Jesus Christ is a nonessential. He has been quoted in an
interview with Robert Schuller that there are 'many
paths to God' and he 'respects them all.' Of course, as
was mentioned in the previous article, he participated
in prayer offered up to the god of Mohammhed (Allah). At
that gathering were many Jews, Muslims, Christians and
many other faiths gathered together praying to the god
of Islam as the God of Abraham -- a distinct moment of
"unification".
Is Billy Graham working toward the goal of a New
World Order? Is it merely a matter of decades of
compromise with the world, or something more strategic?
I wrote to the Billy Graham Evangelical Ministries, to
ask what moved him to participate in a prayer to the god
of Mohammhed, and to date have received no answer.
Tim LaHaye
Tim LaHaye's relationship with Moon goes back at
least 17 years. In 1985 as was reported earlier, LaHaye
was addressing several hundred evangelical Christians,
the flock he claims to guard and feed, and did he exhort
that they draw closer to his God? No, unless his god is
the Reverend Sun Myung Moon. He exhorted that they go
willingly to jail with the Rev. Moon in demonstration to
his imprisonment over tax fraud. (The spin on the story
has been that LaHaye and others were supporting Rev.
Moon's "religious freedom")
While in prison, Moon continued to spout out to the
world that he is the anointed messiah, and also at that
time, he pronounced a day when he claims he opened
heaven. LaHaye visited him and apologized for the
actions of the U.S. Government which imprisoned him.
Also visiting Moon in prison was the president of one of
the groups chaired by LaHaye This was the AFC (American
Freedom Coalition) president, Don Sills.(Truth is my
Sword' Vol 2, by Bo Hi Pak, 'The Watchman Expositor')
LaHaye is also the founder of the ACTV (American
Coalition for Traditional Values). Bo Hi Pak, Moons #1
man, formerly Korean CIA and the operative that was
liaison to American CIA, gave a very sizable donation to
help steady the new organization, after which, LaHaye
agreed to sit as a member of the board of directors for
the Rev. Moon sponsored "Christian Voice"
group.(Americans United For Separation of Church and
State/Feb 2002)
The highly influential "Left Behind" author
was also associated in a group called the Council for
Religious Freedom, but when it was made public that this
was another Moon front, LaHaye apparently resigned from
the group, though his name was not at the time stricken
from their membership roster. Though LaHaye resigned,
others after him signed on, continuing to bolster its
credibility. These include Paul Crouch of the Trinity
Broadcasting Network.
Among the other bizarre goings on within the
Moon/Conservative alliance, a young, black Zimbabwean
claiming that he is the reincarnation of Moons dead son
has also spoken at functions of the American Freedom
Coalition. (CRI Journal-CRJ0092A). Moon himself has
revealed that this claim of reincarnation is true.
The LaHayes were also involved in a meeting sponsored
by Moon in 1996, through the Family Federation for World
Peace as well as the Women's Federation for World Peace
(two Moon sponsored organizations), a 3 day seminar in
Washington D.C., from July 31-August 2, along with
several other highly visible evangelicals. Beverly
LaHaye received between $80-150,000 for speaking at the
event. (2)
In 1999, Tim LaHaye and co-author Jerry Jenkins wrote
(3) that the Catholic church was very likely the Great
Harlot sitting on the beast in Revelation 17 and 18,
their reason being that they believe the Catholic church
may attempt to unify the worlds religions, though they
wrote differently in their "Left Behind" book
series. LaHaye and his family are involved directly with
groups sponsored by and in some cases founded upon money
from a false messiah whose objective is publicly stated,
and loudly at that, for the unification of world
religions. So where exactly does LaHaye stand if in
doctrine he warns of unification brought about by Rome,
and yet associates with the Unification Church?
Rev. Moon states in his address, 'Life on Earth and
in the Spirit World' :
"This is why God created so many different
religions: to be training grounds to make a path for
every people, culture, custom, and tradition. Religions
polish people to be qualified to enter the region of the
original homeland. Because of humankind's many different
cultural backgrounds, God sought and set the standard of
comparison and has been leading the way toward one
unified religious world." (4)
This is rather peculiar in light of the apparent
diversity of world religions in doctrine, practice and
teachings, each with their own sense of exclusivity of
one another, sometimes to the very inspiration of holy
war.
According to 'Group Watch,' a cult watchdog
organization, Don Sills is another evangelical leader
who stated that he would recruit members from a group
directly associated with Rev. Moon, CAUSA, to become
members of his AFC (American Freedom Coalition)
organization. In March of 1988, Sills appeared on
Trinity Broadcasting Networks flagship program
"Praise the Lord" warning people away from
listening to 'cult watch groups', being concerned for
the division and fear they may bring. Of course these
anti-cult groups tell us that since Moon claims Jesus
will worship at Moons feet, and inflicts mind control
techniques over his followers, his religion is a cult
that should by all means be avoided and certainly
watched. Paul Crouch is another who seems to shy away
from the overall doctrine espoused on his
"Christian" television network, and appears to
work for religious unification.
The Tangled Web Revealed...
The Council for National Policy We touched on this
council in Part 1, but now we shall take a closer look
at it and its members. This group was founded by Tim
LaHaye in 1981. Again we have shown definite ties
between this "Christian" organization and the
Rev. Moons openly anti-Christ organizations. This will
be addressed later more fully, but this group is also
associated heavily with the controversial and cultic
Church of Scientology, the John Birch Society (known for
its espionage work), and the intelligence community.
(Note: we attempted to get JBS board member lists but
the Society returned a response that it was their policy
not to reveal names of its board members).
It was stated by Congressman Woody Jenkins
(Newsweek,1981) "I predict that one day before the
end of this century the Council [for National Policy]
will be so influential that no President, regardless of
party or philosophy, will be able to ignore us or our
concerns or shut us out of the highest levels of
government." In October, 1999 George W. Bush
addressed the CNP. His campaign refused to release the
full text of his remarks. Why the secrecy??
Beverly LaHaye, as was previously noted, is the wife
of Tim LaHaye. She also was and still may be part of the
CNP, and also founder of Concerned Women for America.
She joined forces with Citizens Council on Human Rights,
a group affiliated with Scientology, and Gary Bauer's
Family Research Council, which has benefited as well
from Rev. Moon organizations and money. This all under
the umbrella of social change and "Christian family
values" in America. Mrs. LaHaye and Bauer appeared
and spoke together in a 1995 rally against psychiatric
practices on children. The question is, regardless of a
good cause, is it necessary for these evangelical
leaders to join forces with Moon, Scientology and the
Intelligence community? It doesn't take a rocket
scientist to recognize that many groups use charitable
giving/participation, patriotic associations and
demonstrations of community or national good will to
obfuscate their true objectives and agenda, or to
conceal and deflect attention from their wrong-doing.
LaHayes group, the Council for National Policy, is
just one example of evangelical organizations being
filled with Intelligence officers, Moon representatives
and Scientology members. To name all the members who
were and are involved in the intelligence community and
cults would take too long here, but here are just a few;
(5)
* Howard Ahmanson Jr. (CNP Board of Governors)
Contributed to the Council of Foreign Relations
according to their 1990-1993 reports
* Thomas R. Anderson (CNP Board of Governors) Also
sits on the board of the Moon front Family Research
Council.
* Rep John Ashbrook (CNP Board of Governors) Also a
member of Moons front group "Christian Voice".
* Richard Bott (CNP Board of Governors) Former writer
for the Moon owned Washington times.
* Jeffrey Coors (CNP Board of Governors) Coors
brewing Co.
* Joseph Coors (CNP Board of Governors) President

director for Rockerfeller funded Manhattan Institute,
friend of David Rockerfeller, and a member of the
Council on Foreign Relations(CFR).
* Ron Godwin (CNP Member) Former Vice President of
Falwells Moral Majority, Sr Vice President of the Moon

* Allan Gottleib (CNP Member) Board Member of Moons
front group, the American Freedom Coalition. In 1983 the
Moon group CAUSA, founded by Bo Hi Pak, former Korean
CIA and liaison to the American CIA, and Moons right
hand man, granted Gottleib an all expense paid trip to
Jamaica for a CAUSA conference
* J. Peter Grace (CNP Member) Council of Foreign
Relations, Knights of Malta, and worked with the CIA to
remove classified info concerning former Nazi scientists
so that they could immigrate into the U.S., supposedly
so they could carry on their work (including mind

* Lt. General Daniel Graham (CNP Board of Governors)
Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, Deputy
Director CIA, Military advisor to President Reagan,
publicly endorses the Moon owned Washington Times. Also
a member of the Moon org, World Anti-Communist League,
and board of Directors for Moons CAUSA. Member of the
American Freedom Coalition. Vice Chairman for the U.S.
Council for World Freedom, which also is closely related
to Moons CAUSA. Member too of the Council of 56,
Religious Roundtable.
* Robert Grant (CNP Directory) Founder of
"Christian Voice", and the American Freedom
Coalition, both are Moon sponsored orgs. Graduate of the
fuller Theological Seminary, and member of the Religious
Roundtable. Bo Hi Pak has praised the union between
these Christian organizations and Moonie orgs saying
"...it shows what a great since of humor God
has." Grants "Christian Voice" claims to
be the nations largest Christian lobby, and according to
the Philadelphia Inquirer, merged with Moon in 1987.
* Sen. Jesse helms (CNP Board of Governors) also of
the Religious Roundtable, endorser of the Moon owned
Washington times, and a member of the Council for
Foreign Relations(CFR).
* Max Hugel (CNP Member) Former special assistant CIA
Deputy Director for Administration, and Deputy Director
for Operations
* Jack Kemp (CNP Member) Co Director of Empower
American, whose board is dominated by the Council of
Foreign Relations(CFR).
* Alan Keyes (CNP Member) Former Ambassador to the
United Nations. He was also part of Reagans National
Security Team which was dominated by high level Council
of Foreign Relations men(CFR).
* Edwin Meese (CNP Executive Committee, CNP
President) Former Attorney General, former Chief of
Staff
Notice that many mentioned, (as well as many not
mentioned) are members of the CFR (Council for Foreign
Relations). This is a group espousing the New World
Order and have actively and openly worked toward it for
decades. Not surprisingly, the man who popularized the
phrase "New World Order," George Bush Sr, was
also at one time head of the CFR.
A reminder that some of the evangelical members of
the CNP have included: Beverly and Lee LaHaye, also
associated with Moons CWA group. Gary Bauer, Bill
Bright, James Dobson (Focus On The Family), Bob Dugan,
Ron Godwin, Robert Grant, Rebecca Hagelin, Bob Jones the
3rd (Bob Jones University), Alan Keyes (Outspoken
ultra-conservative black talk show host and author), Dr.
D. James Kennedy (noted television evangelist and
Pastor), Peter Marshall, Sam Moore of Thomas Nelson
Publishing, Pat Robertson (founder of the Christian
Broadcasting Network and former Presidential aspirant),
Rev. Duane Motley, Ralph Reed, Oliver North (formerly
with the National Security Council), Phyllis Schlafly
(ultra-right columnist and pundit), Rev. Jim Woodall,
John Ankerberg (internationally recognized Christian
television personality), Rev. E.V. Hill, James Robison,
Pat Boone, Larry Burkett, Reed Larson, and many
others.(5)
So now we must ask ourselves why are these people
associated together under the front of
"Christian" organizations? Is it merely
coincidence? To assume such is to be remarkably naive
and woefully remiss in learning the lessons of past
history. By comparing the members of the CNP and cross
referencing them with any large Christian or Moon
organization, and many of the politically right-wing PAC
(Political Action Committee) organizations, you will
find essentially that these organizations are made up of
the same people.
Is this a ruse, to draw evangelical believers and
right wing patriots into the NWO? It certainly seems to
be. Moon states his goal is to unify the worlds
religions thereby unifying the world. Bo Hi Pak states;
"We want to awaken the world. We want to turn the
tide [so] that this totalitarian, godless system must
go....It is a total war. Basically a war of ideas."
(6)
These organizations work together tightly, and nearly
every major evangelical name that can be named is
involved with these apostate organizations, fleecing
their sheep in order to help fund these groups; A large
number of these "great men of God" can be
found living in palatial homes, driving exorbitantly
expensive automobiles and owning personal jets and
relishing accolades as great teachers of the faith.
These men seem more like the Pharisees of Jesus' day,
who denied Him as well, yet 40 years later came to their
destruction following a false messiah. They speak at
each others functions, support one another monetarily,
and cause many to believe that they do it in the name of
God and in harmony with God's will (many claiming direct
divine revelation, inspiration and in some cases
unquestionable supernatural authority). The Bible they
themselves espouse refers to them as hirelings.

Christianity Today, Week of August 6
CT Classic: With Their Leader in Prison, Moonies
Pursue Legitimacy Tim LaHaye and other Christians are
helping the Unification Church battle the perceived
threat of government intrusion.
By Beth Spring | posted 8/8/01 (This article
originally appeared in the September 7, 1984, issue of
Christianity Today.)
Full acceptance into the mainstream of American
religious life is a cherished goal of Sun Myung Moon's
Unification Church. Ironically, Moon's recent
imprisonment for tax evasion appears to be bringing that
dream a step closer to reality.
"Religious freedom" rallies around the
country are drawing thousands of unsuspecting Christians
into emotionally charged meetings that portray Moon as a
persecuted man of God. No ties with the Unification
Church are mentioned in promotional mailings. The
sponsors are identified as a coalition of Christian
leaders including author Tim LaHaye; Robert Grant, of
Christian Voice; and Joseph Lowery, of the Southern
Christian Leadership Conference. Greg Dixon and Everett
Sileven, leaders of a coalition of independent,
fundamentalist churches, are involved as well.
The sponsors view Moon as a persecuted ally in an
escalating battle against secular humanism and
government intrusion into church ministries. "One
person's religious freedom equates to everyone's
religious freedom," LaHaye says. "If one
person's freedom is robbed, then potentially anyone's
religious freedom can be robbed." Whether Moon is a
victim of persecution or a felon is a matter of
considerable debate. There is little doubt, however,
that the entire affair is a public relations bonanza for
his church.
Darrel Malcom, senior pastor of Webber Street Church
of Christ in Urbana, Illinois, accepted an offer for an
expense-paid trip to Washington, D.C., to attend the
massive "Pageant for Religious Freedom" on
July 25. He learned of the event from two Unification
Church members in Urbana. Their involvement gave him
pause, but he says he accepted their invitation because
he respects LaHaye. LaHaye is cochairman of the
Coalition on Religious Freedom, the group that sponsored
the event. Malcom says he enjoyed the lavish production,
but returned home feeling "a little bit used."
"I felt there was a hidden agenda of trying to
buy legitimacy [for Moon] within the Christian
community. I'm not ready to grant that."
When Malcom returned home, Unification Church members
asked him to consider sponsoring a local rally in
support of Moon. "They wanted to meet and discuss
getting Christians together," he says. "I said
I do not consider their group Christian."
A narrator introduced actors portraying heroes of
American religious history. At the end, a melodramatic
enactment of Moon's trial and sentencing drew a chorus
of boos and hisses for his prosecutor and sustained
cheers for Moon.
Following the performance, LaHaye spoke to the
audience. "If we have the same percentage of
religious freedom attacks in the next 15 years as we
have had in the past 15 years, we'll no longer have
religious freedom in America," he said. LaHaye did
not mention Moon by name.
The evening's dramatic climax came when Moon's
daughter, In Jin Moon, choked back tears as she spoke of
her father. "I have almost never seen my father
sleep. He is always up working and praying. I have never
seen anyone so dedicated to America's dream and to
God." She read a statement prepared by Moon for the
gathering. It referred to America as God's final hope,
"his precious jewel which he prepared for the final
battle against atheistic communism in the last
days."
Moon's statement emphasized the need for churches to
unite-a central theme of Unification teaching.
"Here in prison God can use me to awaken America
more powerfully than ever before. America's religious
communities must be united to preserve religious
freedom."
Chris Nauser, a 36-year-old Moonie from Switzerland,
viewed the rally as "just one part of the whole
development of an awakening" that will sweep the
world. He shares the belief of most of Moon's followers
that Moon himself is the Messiah. The Unification Church
teaches that Jesus Christ failed in his redemptive
mission and, before his death, lied about his coming
resurrection. Moonies teach that mankind is in need of
physical redemption, which will come by the marriage of
an ideal man and woman. The man is to be from Korea-Moon
himself.
