Conservative Union; is or was on the
board of Coalition for Better Television; served on the board
of the Freedom Council, a now-defunct lobbying group operated
by Pat Robertson's

In
July/August of 1996, the Rev.
Sun Myung Moon hosted a convention in
Washington, D.C., which was also attended by several prominent
evangelical leaders. The full text of Rev. Moon's speech of
August 1, 1996, titled "In Search of the Origin of the
Universe," is available on the Unification
Home Page.

Dave
Hunt, of The Berean Call, reported in Sept., 1996: "Sun Myung Moon's front
organizations (Family Federation for World Peace, Women's
Federation for World Peace, Summit Council for World Peace,
etc.) promote 'morals and family values.' It is amazing to see
who will join this self-professed 'Messiah' in working for
these 'religiously correct' goals. Moon just hosted
(7/31-8/2/96) another convention in Washington, D.C. The
highly paid speakers (reportedly $80-150,000 each) included
former presidents Ford and Bush, Robert
Schuller, Ralph
Reed, Gary
Bauer (president of Family Research Council, 'the
lobbying/research arm of Focus on the Family') and Beverly
LaHaye. Entertainment was by Pat
Boone and family. Moon says
that mankind fell from grace because Eve had sex with Satan,
Christ failed in His mission and Moon is the true Messiah.
While evangelical speakers were careful not to offend their
high-paying host with the true gospel, Moon and his wife, Hak
Ja Han, boldly proclaimed their gospel. What a denial of
Christ for Pat Boone to entertain, and evangelical leaders to
speak, on the same platform where the host declared that he is
perfecting the work 'left uncompleted by Jesus!'"

[See: More

Celebration. See: Evangelical
& Catholics Together Left Behind, by Tim
LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins, is the first of six novels (with
more to come) dealing with the end times (the other two in the
original trilogy are Tribulation Force and Nicolae).
LaHaye says that Left Behind is "the first
fictional portrayal of events that are true to the literal
interpretation of Bible prophecy." Peter Lalonde, CEO of
Cloud Ten Pictures, the maker of Left
Behind: The Movie
6c is being sued by Tim.
He is suing Namesake Entertainment and Cloud Ten Pictures,
charging breach of contract and demanding unspecified damages,
Religion News Service reports.
From the Seek God article Putting
it Together, from the series, Taking the Name, the Mark & the Number:
"It should be very obvious that no
Christian could take a mark, chip or tattoo or any other thing in their
forehead, hand or arm.
However, that thinking is being
usurped by the false doctrine found throughout CNP member Tim
LaHaye's un-Biblical Left Behind fictional series.
People are being duped into
thinking that if they have the Holy Spirit they can actually take the mark.
Unbelievable, except far too many go by what they are told the Bible says,
instead of reading it themselves...."
Moonie Connections: "LaHaye
held the position of paid chairman with Sun
Myung Moon's
7
now defunct Coalition for Religious
Freedom (CRF). (Moon is the founder of the Unification
Church,
8
and is the self-proclaimed Messiah to the world.
He teaches the particularly vile heresy that not only did
Jesus fail in His earthly ministry, but that He had sex with
the women who followed Him.) (Reported in the November 1990 Omega-Letter
and the 1Q96, Religion in Politics.)
Coalition
for Religious Freedom [CRF] 9
: Started by Rep. George
Hansen in 1984. CRF Executive committee members have included Tim LaHaye ,
Jerry Falwell, James
Robison; Rex Humbard,
D. James Kennedy, and Jimmy Swaggart. "...According to
CRF president Dan Sills, [CRF] has received at least $500,000
from Moon sources. A prominent CRF spokesperson and
executive committee member is Joseph Paige...Paige received
$60,000 from the Unification Church for his school, which in
turn gave Moon a much publicized honorary doctorate. Paige is
also active in CAUSA." [1986] "the Moon organization
opened an international front in its 'religious freedom"
campaign. According to Moon's New York City Tribune ,
the World Council on Religious Liberty (WCRL) was founded in
December 1986...The Chairman of WCRL is Joseph Paige, and its
" Chairman of the North American Caucus is Don Sills.
They have recruited Dr. Robert G. Muller, assistant Secretary
general of the United Nations as chairman of the Council's
International Advisory Committee. The Council's headquarters
are in Raleigh, North Carolina, which is also home to Paige's
Shaw Divinity School."
10.
For
Dr. Robert G. Muller See: World
Vision: Global Education; Letter
Biblical Discernment
Ministries reported: "In June, 1985, CRF
held several rallies, one of which was in Washington, D.C.
There LaHaye urged the over 300 men and women present to
support Moon by voluntarily going to jail with him for a week
if allowed to do so by authorities. "Not that I agree
with his doctrine," said LaHaye. "Not that I agree
with what he teaches, because many of us don't know what he
teaches. We have only read about it in the paper and you know
how much we can trust the papers." (Evidently LaHaye is
unaware of the many books and research papers made available
by Christian cult investigators. Certainly the newspapers
aren't the only source of information.) Other so-called
evangelicals that served with LaHaye at CRF as executive
committee and/or advisory board members were [CNP's] Don Wildmon
(founder and president of the social activist
American Family Association), [CNP's] Marlin
Maddoux (Point Of
View nationwide radio talk show host), Paul Crouch (TBN
Network's infamous founder), Hal
Lindsey, [CNP's] James
Robison, Jimmy Swaggart, and
[CNP's] Dr.
D. James Kennedy
(author and pastor of Coral Ridge
Presbyterian Church in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida) -- an agenda
of social activism certainly makes for strange ecumenical
bedfellows. [In a personal letter dated 6/3/93, LaHaye claims
to have never received any pay for his stint as CRF's
"temporary chairman for a month and a half." LaHaye
seems to be saying, "It's okay to serve on the Board of
an apostate organization as long as you don't accept pay for
it."] "LaHaye's involvement
with Moon is particularly vile. In 1985, Carolyn Weaver,
writing for Mother Jones Magazine, exposed the fact
that LaHaye had received substantial funds from Moon's aid Bo
Hi Park. This was discovered in a tape of a dictated thank you
letter from LaHaye, thanking Park for a contribution in excess
of $500,000. LaHaye would not admit or deny the receipt of the
contribution, instead he attacked the source of the
information. (Reported in the 1Q96, Religion in Politics.)"
....Moon held a Washington Family Federation for World Peace
conference in late-1996 that attracted a gaggle of famous
"evangelical" speakers, including Christian
Coalition executive director Ralph
Reed (now a political
consultant), Family Research Council president
Gary
Bauer, and
Concerned Women for America president
Beverly
LaHaye.
Moon and his fourth wife also addressed the conference, which
attracted 1,500 participants from around the globe."11
Tim LaHaye formed the Pre-Trib
Research Center (PTRC)1994, (originally headquartered in
Family Life Seminar's Washington, D.C. offices, but moved to
Arlington, Texas in the late-1990s), made up of a "large
group of prophetic Bible scholars given a sacred task of
joining with others in proclaiming, teaching, defending, and
applying the doctrine of the Pretribulational Rapture of the
Church."

"....the two
foundations most active in recent years in publicly promoting
the need for a strong CIA. One of them, the Scaife Foundation
(together with the closely linked Scaife Family Charitable
Trusts and Allegheny Foundation) has provided the largest part
of Fletcher's foundation backing since 1977, donating over
$1.5 million. The other, the Smith Richardson Foundation,
contributed over $100,000 from 1979 to 1981 for two projects
it describes as a "project on [the] history of Vietnamese
communism" and the "completion of [a] study of
communist propaganda and political warfare." Since 1978,
these two foundations have also provided most of the private
funding to Pfaltzgraff's Institute for Foreign Policy
Analysis, [IFPA] with Scaife alone donating over $500,000.
The promotional efforts of
the CIA by these foundations, consisting so far of at least
eleven separate projects together costing over $500,000,
appear to have begun on October 30, 1978, when Scaife
president Richard Larry phoned Ernest Lefever (an IFPA
"research consultant") to ask if his Ethics and
Public Policy Center at Georgetown University would supervise
a study of media treatment of the CIA and the KGB. This work
resulted in the pro-CIA collection by Lefever and Roy
Godson, The CIA and the American Ethic." 23
Roy Godson, A Georgetown
University professor, was a member of the 1980 CIA transition
team and has been a paid consultant to the USIA, the NSC and
the President's Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board. He is
Washington director of the National Strategy Information
Center, which provided funding to Aruno Cruz. Godson has also
been a paid advisor to the CIA-connected U.S. Youth Council,
the parent of the International Youth Year Commission, which
is assumed to be the "Intl. Youth Comm." named on
the flow chart of North-supervised contra support
entities...Godson solicited donations for North and the
Nicaragua operation, at least once using the Heritage
Foundation as a conduit." 24

played a pivotal role formulating Washington's program for
counter-revolutionary war and mass murder in Central America
during the 1980s... The group functioned in a dual-capacity;
as an alarmist "public policy institute" and as a
domestic spy ring, a "privatized" version of the
FBI's infamous COINTELPRO operations. Having staked-out Latin
America as their geopolitical niche, CIS targeted Central
America solidarity activists, progressive clergy, and the
Salvadoran exile community. The group gathered intelligence
and disseminated disinformation, funneling data on foreign
policy opponents to the FBI and the intelligence service of
the Salvadoran death squad state...In 1980, they published the
influential A New Inter-American Policy for the Eighties,
generally known as the "Santa Fe Document."

Council for Inter-American Security, was an ardent supporter
of the Nicaraguan contras with an apparent main goal, the
defeat of communism in Latin America. It had close
affiliations with the John Birch Society, the World
Anti-Communist League, Alpha66/Brigade 2506 anti-Castro
terrorist groups, The LaRouche Organization, the Unification
Movement of South Korea (Moonies), various Christian
fundamentalist and conservative Catholic groups. In 1980, it
published a report known as the Santa Fe Document, which
became a major part of the blue print and rationale for the
Reagan Administration’s Latin American policy. In addition
providing policy rational, the Council provided people to fill
policy making positions of the Reagan Administration The
Council worked to improve reputation of Salvadoran death squad
leader Roberto D’Aubuisson and worked closely with the FBI
on covert operations against "leftist" clergy and
left-leaning organizations in the United States. It also
worked closely with the Salvadoran police and military in
tracking and monitoring Salvadorian refugees who had fled to
the U.S.
32
The Sante Fe Document recommended various Proposals including,
Proposal 3, "U.S. foreign policy must begin to counter
(not react against) liberation theology as it is utilized in
Latin America by the ‘liberation theology’ clergy."
"The role of the church in Latin America is vital to the
concept of political freedom. Unfortunately, Marxist-Leninist
forces have utilized the church as a political weapon against
private property and productive capitalism by infiltrating the
religious community with ideas that are less Christian than
Communist." Proposal 4: "The United States must
reject the mistaken assumption that one can easily locate and
impose U.S. style democratic alternatives to authoritarian
governments…. This belief has induced the Carter
Administration to participate actively in the toppling of
non-Communist authoritarians while remaining passive in the
face of Communist expansion" Proposal 5: "Human
rights, which is a culturally and politically relative concept
that the present [Carter] administration has used for
intervention for political change in countries of this
hemisphere, adversely affecting the peace, stability and
security of the region, must be abandoned and replaced by a
non-interventionist policy of political and ethical
realism."
33
Members of the Council included: Lewis Tambs (Sante Fe’s

In l988, the Committee of Santa Fe released a new document,
Santa Fe II, with recommendations for the next administration.
Although it is somewhat less ideological and more pragmatic
than the original "Santa Fe Document," this second
publication unlikely to have the impact of the first simply
due to the changing political tenor of the country and the
absence from the White House of a truly ideological president.

An article at Chalcedon
states: "As the center of the re-Christianization of all
society, what is Chalcedon's agenda for godly transformation?
First, Chalcedon lays the theological groundwork for world
transformation... Second, Chalcedon identifies and instructs
key "influence agents." The Chalcedon Report,
for example, is targeted for the very people positioned to
reshape this and the next generation-pastors and other church
leaders; businessmen; home school mothers and students;
college and seminary professors and students; artists;
mothers; media agents; doctors; politicians; economists;
salesmen; Christian day school administrators, teachers, and
students; lawyers; theologians; and many, many more. We intend
soon to host regional conferences inviting many of these
"influence agents," inculcating the Christian
reconstructionist Weltanschauung... Chalcedon supports
specific, leading world-transforming agents. For instance,
Samuel Blumenfeld, identified as "Public Enemy #1"
by the NEA, is a Chalcedon extension staff member. His Educational
Letter, eye-opening books, and numerous lectures are
generating an explosive reaction against the modern statist
educational system and a re-installation of the Christian
family as the prime agent of education. Peter Hammond and Frontline
Fellowship traverse the war-torn African continent with
the message of salvation in Jesus Christ-individual and
social. They are the main Christian obstacle to Marxist and
Islamic faiths in what may be the pivotal continent for the
next century. John Lofton, editor of the Lofton Letter,
and one of the leading Christian social commentators of our
era, regularly articulates and defends the Christian
reconstructionist message on TV, radio, and in news magazines.
There are many others Chalcedon assists and will begin to
assist (like some featured in this issue), and we intend to
highlight their world-transforming work in due time."

Hon. Trent Lott
- CNP 1996, 1998; 33º
Freemason, 41 U.S. Senate
from Mississippi. Member or former member of the Sons of Confederate
Veterans. Was Senate Majority Leader since 1996. Retired
December 18, 2007. Controversy over remarks made at the 100th
birthday of Sen. Strom Thurmond, who ran for president in 1948.
His campaign contained strong stands on racial segregation
and similar. Due to the controversy, Lott resigned as Senate
Republican Leader December 20, 2002.
The 2002 remarks continued to
follow him, and prior allegations of racist associations
continued amidst controversy over involvement with Council of
Conservative Citizens, (CCC) the successor to the notorious
white supremacist hate group, White Citizens Councils. The Southern Poverty Law Center calls the CCC "... “the reincarnation of the infamous
White Citizens Councils of the 1950s and 1960s.” The White
Citizens Councils, ... were formally titled Citizens Councils
of America (CCA)," which was formed in 1954.
41a The CCC was launched after the demise of the CCA,
with a furtherance of the segregation agenda, as well as
expanding their hate agenda from blacks to include other ethnic
groups as well as homosexuals and feminist groups. Recalling
what is perhaps the most well known action of the CCA was when
then member Byron De La Beckwith, who murdered civil rights
leader Medgar Evers in 1963. The CCA raised the money for his
defense. They raged about, "..black intellectual inferiority and
criminality, and inveighed against interracial marriage, Jewish
plots, Catholics, the left and the federal government." 41b
The CCC, formed in 1985, has taken a further
agenda by targeting other ethnic groups, homosexuals and
feminists. The CCA's former magazine, the Citizens Informer, was
reinvented for the group as The Informer, while also merging the
original members lists into the CCC. According to various
articles, Trent Lott not only submitted articles to the CCC
magazine, he spoke at at least 5 functions and conventions for the
group throughout the 90's. His uncle and cousin are reportedly
members. 41b The New York Times stated
November 29, 2007, that Richard Scrugg's, Lott's brother-in-law,
was indicted on charges of offering a $50,000 bribe to a
Mississippi state judge. Scrugg's had represented Trent Lott and
Rep Gene Taylor in settlements with State Farm after losing
their homes in Mississippi, in Hurricane Katrina.

according to The Southern Poverty Law
Center, possibly from the Spring of 2003, and definitely by
2006, the SCV have been taken over by radical racists, which
ended up with an agenda matching that of the Aryan Nations as
well as purging the more conservative members from their group.
Many politicians who had belonged have ceased membership. It is
unclear to this writer if Trent Lott has resigned his
membership. 41d
Trent Lott was a freemason who:
"...finally
passed to the Degree of Fellowcraft on August 23, 1975, and
raised a Master Mason on August 29, 1975. That October,
Brother Lott took most of his Scottish Rite Degrees in the
Valley of Gulfport, but did not receive his 32nd Degree until
October 23, 1976. He subsequently received the K.C.C.H. in
1983 and was coroneted a 33° Inspector General Honorary on
December 12, 1987."

In May of 1998, HR 2431 was passed
in the House of Representatives and introduced to the Senate
as S772 by Senator Arlen Specter (a Mason). There it was
stalled in committee until the Republican leadership led by
Trent Lott maneuvered a compromise version of the bill through
(33º Mason) Jesse
Helms' Foreign Services Committee. On
October 9, the U.S. Senate passed the International Religious
Freedom Act (S-1868) sponsored by Senators
Don Nickles, Joseph
Lieberman and others by a vote of 98-0. S-1868 was referred
immediately back to the House of Representatives where it was
passed into law the next day.
The International
Religious Freedom Act (S-1868), formerly the Freedom from
Religious Persecution Act (HR 2431), "A Bill to Provide
For The Office Of Religious Persecution Monitoring and to
Provide for the Imposition of Sanctions against Countries
Engaged in patterns of Religious Persecution and for Other
Purposes."
October 2, 1998...The
Anti-Defamation League (ADL) urged Senate passage of the International
Religious Freedom Act (S.1868). The Act, cosponsored by
Sens. Don Nickles (R-OK) and Joseph Lieberman (D-CT), creates
a framework to promote religious freedom internationally and
provides a menu of options for US action against nations that
persecute worshippers.

"The International Religious Freedom Act is a necessary
step to ensure that religious persecution will not be
tolerated in our conduct of foreign policy. S. 1868 seeks to
promote religious freedom by establishing an
Ambassador-at-Large for Religious Liberty, a Special Advisor
within the White House on Religious Persecution, and a
bipartisan Commission on International Religious Liberty"
44
The International
Religious Freedom Act has created a federal commission to
monitor religion chaired by former World Vision President, Robert
Seiple
45, as
presidentially- appointed Ambassador at Large
on International Religious Freedom and Special Adviser to the
President on Religious Persecution. Robert Seiple was
confirmed in May, 1999 as the State Department's first
Ambassador-At-Large for International Religious Freedom. This
position was created through passage by the U.S. Congress of
the International Religious Freedom Act of 1998. In
determining violations, the commission will rely on the United
Nations' covenants and recognize the authority of the
International Criminal Court. Seiple also founded the
Institute for Global Engagement, a strategic think tank within
the organization for global advocacy.

Edward Lozick
- CNP Member 1984-85, 1988, 1996, 1998,.CNP Board of Governors
1996; President, Nerts, Inc., Finance chairman, Reagan
for President, 1980/1984; Member, 1981 Presidential Inaugural
Committee; chairman, The Kennedy Center Ball; Fellow, The
Presidential Transition Foundation; Republican National
Committee Eagle. Son-in-law of Republican benefactor, Fred
Lennon.
"After stepping from
obscurity to top last year's 400, Cleveland billionaire Fred
Lennon... is already notoriously secretive -- he shuns the
media, and his Crawford Fitting Company even conceals its
production volume by operating many small factories without
signs on them...In addition to his political contributions to
Bob Dole and other Republicans over the last two years, Lennon
was one of the top donors to Cleveland's Operation
Save-A-Life, a program to reduce house fire fatalities by
equipping low-income homes with smoke alarms. He recently came
into a little extra cash -- Midwestern National Life Insurance
Co. of Ohio, of which he owned 79 percent, was merged into a
New York holding company for $14 million.
"... his son-in-law
Edward Lozick, CEO of pipe fittings manufacturer Nerts Inc.,
seems to be following in his footsteps, both politically and
personally. Although Lozick's yacht ferried special guests Bob
and Dolores Hope while leading the Cuyahoga River's
"Parade of Lights" last year, he generally follows
his father-in-law's motto: "Secrecy is success. Success
is secrecy." He is wary of the media -- when Mother
Jones called Nerts, receptionists answered with their own
names, not the company's and were even reluctant to say what
kind of manufacturing they did. The $63,050 that Lozick gave
to Republicans in the last election cycle was nearly enough to
make the Mother Jones 400 this year. Imagine what he'll do
with his inheritance."
