It all added up to more than a billion dollars à ‚¬" at a time when most of Moon's operations in America were losing substantial sums of money money. The best example was the Washington Times itself, which was then losing as much as fifty million dollars a year.

What did all the money buy Reverend Moon? Like many others, he refused to talk to me for the film. But in a Church-sponsored film, Reverend Moon in America à ‚¬"one of the many media efforts he spun out in the Eighties -- he had this to say:

"Now whether positively or negatively, America knows me à ‚¬" and it happened quickly. At least I have America's attention. Because of that, I will be able to tell the people the truth of God, the new revelation. The worst treatment America could give me is to ignore me. Now I can preach the truth. "

(Coming soon, in Part Two of this series: Where did all Moon's money come from?)
