The Jan. 6th Committee (@January6thCmte) has gone after the extremist Proud Boys and Oath Keepers. They also have a paramilitary group called the "1st Amendment Praetorian" in their sights.

But there's a group they STILL apparently haven't pursued:

The Moonies.

The Moonies are a far-right cult that I was a member of for 2+ years in the 70s. The cult leader Sun Myung Moon (a convicted felon) claimed he was the "Messiah."

Since his death in 2012, the group has SPLINTERED into 2 rival camps (both still heavily tied into the modern @GOP).

One camp is run by the youngest son of Moon, Hyung Jin "Sean" Moon. Sean is the leader of the World Peace and Unification Sanctuary, more commonly known as "Rod of Iron Ministries."

Sean Moon wears a crown of bullets and his "church" worships with AR-15's.

Sean purchased a 40-acre compound in Texas to serve as a "sanctuary" for what he says will be a war with the "deep state." He has done events with Steve Bannon & former NRA spokeswoman Dana Loesch.

And oh yea, Sean Moon was at the Jan. 6th insurrection. 👇rawstory.com/rod-of-iron-mi…

The other Moonie camp is run by Sun Myung Moon's living wife, Hak Ja Han. As the Moonies have done for decades, her "church" (it's actually a cult) hosted an event with many key figures of the @GOP including:

Mike Pence
Mike Pompeo
Newt Gingrinch
And oh yea, Donald Trump.

The Moonies have been intertwined with the @GOP for decades. Nixon, Reagan, George H.W. Bush, and now Trump all have had deep, well-established ties to the cult.

In 1982, Moonie cult leader Sun Myung Moon started the Washington Times newspaper. This paper STILL operates in D.C.

This paper is a blatant propaganda mouthpiece for the far right. They've spread climate change disinformation, the Seth Rich conspiracy, and were vocal that Jan. 6th rioters were really "ANTIFA" (🙄).

The founding editor of the @WashTimes, James Whelan, a member of the Council for National Policy (#CNP) resigned because of the Times' move to more OVERT propaganda.

The recent piece in the @nytimes, on the paramilitary "1st Amendment Praetorian" highlights a NEW layer. Rather than just storming the Capitol, this group was undoubtedly involved in PLANNING. I am confident the Moonies have a similar involvement! nytimes.com/2022/01/03/us/…

I urge members of the @January6thCmte- @RepLizCheney, @RepKinzinger, @BGThompsonMS, @RepAdamSchiff, @RepRaskin, @RepPeteAguilar, @RepZoeLofgren, @RepStephMurphy-to turn your attention to the billion-dollar Moonies Trust me. This group is DEEPLY intertwined with the fringe @GOP!
