2. It's an interesting listen

I wonder if there are any good documentaries on The Family, and or about Reverend Moon (that's a whole other crazy situation with serious political impact that the MSM never talks about).

3. I would also like to read more about this!

I may have to buy that book.

4. I'm fairly certain this is the same guy who did a piece in Harpers on this bunch.

It was a chilling read as I recall- 2002?
Anyone else remember it?

7. No link- It was several years ago.

I looked but didn't find anything.
It caused quite a stir on DU at the time though.
Probably in the archives somewhere.
I wish I could remember the title of the piece.
I do know it was in Harpers.
