Home THE 'MOONIE' MOLE

Of all the rabid Nazis for Jesus (NFJ), Jerry Falwell, long time member of the subversive Council for National Policy, is a unique abomination. "Hypocrite" is this guy's middle name. For example, in the sixties Jerry was preaching from the pulpit that desegregation was evil and the civil rights movement was a communist plot. Today, being a segregationist is "politically incorrect", so Jerry isn't alllowed to be a racist. However, being a homophobic bigot is still politically acceptable among his fellow NFJs and much of the population at large, and so the "real" Jerry Falwell is still around and always will be. Don't forget, Herr Falwell is a "Fundamentalist". That means he accepts the teachings of the Bible as unchanging. Therefore, if the Bible says that black people are inferior, then black people always were and always will be inferior. What is poor Jerry going to do when he has no one else to hate and be politically correct?

That aside, it turns out that Jerry has some very close ties to the Rev. Moon and his Unification Church. This is important because Moon has repeatedly referred to America as the "Kingdom of Satan". In addition, even Jerry's fellow Southern Baptist view Rev. Moon as a heritic. Nevertheless, it didn't stop Jerry from attending Moon's dinner event honoring one of Moon's new groups called Youth Federation for World Peace. There was the Rev. Moon and Jerry Falwell standing side by side, buddy buddy. Why, you ask? Simple: MONEY!, Jerry's one true God.

Jerry Falwell created the "Moral Majority" in the seventies. He was doing quite well for himself until some of his fellow televangelists, such as Jim Baker and Jimmy Swaggart, got themselves in deep do-do. Contributions dried up and public opinion of Herr Falwell himself started to nosedive. Jerry sent his Moral Majority to the scrap heap in 1986. However, Herr Jerry was still buried under a pile of debt and by 1993, Jerry's Liberty University was in hock to the tune of $73 million. The $73 million was owed to the bondholders who he suckered into financing the construction of Liberty University. If you're wondering why Herr Jerry isn't in the poor house today, read on.

On January 28, 1995, Herr Jerry took the opportunity to announce to the world that a miracle had occurred. Falwell announced that two Virginia businessmen, Dan Reber and Jimmy Thomas, had saved the University. Reber and Thomas had created a nonprofit organization called the "Christian Heritage Foundation". The Foundation bought up nearly half the $73 million debt that Herr Jerry's University owed. They bought the debt for $2.5 million at a bankruptcy sale. The Foundation then promptly forgave the debt! After years of financial strife, Herr Jerry was saved, and was thanking God for sending Reber and Thomas. The truth is he should have been thanking the Rev. Moon. It was Moon who bailed Herr Jerry out, and I believe Jerry knew it from the very beginning. There was no surprise "miracle".

The truth is Reber and Thomas simply acted as a conduit for Moon. The $2.5 million came from a Moon "cutout" - a Unification Church group called Womens Federation for World Peace. It was the Womens Federation for World Peace that cut a check for $3.5 million, paid to the Christian Heritage Foundation. The Foundation in turn bought Falwell's debt and forgave it. The Foundation itself appears then to have kept the balance, one million dollars, as a fee for its part in the operation.

Falwell was desperate for cash. For all practical purposes he was broke. So Herr Jerry sold his soul to the Moonies. It now remains to be seen what the "Moonie Mole" owes the Moonies in return. $2.5 million is a lot of quid, Jerry. What's the quo?

If you're wondering what happened to the 2500 bondholders who financed Liberty University, well Herr Jerry left them out in the cold with only their genitalia for company. Doug Hudman, a lawyer representing the bondholders, was quoted as saying his clients were "Moms and Pops cashing in their IRA money because their local minister and Falwell's letters said they'd be doing God's work... All it was doing was going to fund Mr. Falwell's continued indebtedness. It's kind of sickening."
