Via his highly placed connections and some lies-by-omission, Moon managed to hold his "declaration of self as Jesus Christ" ceremony (complete with coronation with huge solid gold crown) in the Dirksen Senate Building.
This is an Outrage! What's next? Will The Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh hold a conference in the Hart? Will Hari Krishnas hold a lovefest in the Russell Building?

Warner 'Deceived' on Rev. Moon Event
Aide Says Senator's Office Would Not Have Sanctioned Gathering at Dirksen Building

Sen. John W. Warner (R-Va.) accepts \"full responsibility\" for arranging the use of a Senate office building for a March ceremony in which the Rev. Sun Myung Moon declared himself the Messiah, a spokesman for the senator says.
But the Senate Armed Services Committee chairman released letters this week that show that organizers \"deceived\" Warner's office, spokesman John Ullyot said Thursday. He said the office would not have helped arrange the event \"had its true nature been disclosed.\"
Warner, 77, did not attend the March 23 event, and he did not realize it would involve Moon, Ullyot said. At the event, the Korean-born businessman and religious leader said his teachings helped Hitler and Stalin be \"reborn as new persons.\"
...Although the Senate Rules and Administration Committee would not reveal which senator sponsored Moon's use of a room in the Dirksen Senate Office Building, Warner's office acknowledged its role Tuesday to The Washington Post and released a March 11 letter to the senator from a group called Christian Voice requesting a room.
But Warner's office said Thursday that it had found two earlier letters requesting space for the same event. The Jan. 7 and Feb. 17 letters, both under the letterhead of the Washington Times Foundation, were signed by the foundation's government liaison, Gary L. Jarmin, who is also president of Christian Voice. Moon's organization owns the Washington Times
Both letters billed the event as the foundation's annual awards banquet to honor individuals for \"exemplary service in conflict resolution and/or promoting interfaith tolerance and cooperation both here in the U.S. and in the Middle East\" between Israelis and Palestinians.
\"Nothing in the letters suggest that this would be a Unification Church event or that it would involve Reverend Moon in any way personally, and certainly not in a bizarre, quasi-coronation ceremony using inflammatory rhetoric,\" Ullyot said in an interview yesterday.
Although Warner believes that aides acted appropriately given the information provided, Ullyot said, the event clearly turned out to be \"inconsistent with Senate traditions,\" and Warner \"would not have forwarded a request for this event . . . had its true nature been disclosed.\"

"The washington Times is directly owned and controlled by The Messiah! How can it ever be wrong?" The rest of the news world must declare. Right?
Just out of curiosity... Now that the Head Moonie has declared himself The Messiah in a Senate Office Building in the most important city in the world... and WBush says that "Jesus speaks through him"... does that mean that The head moonie is speaking through WBush?
By the way.. for those of you who are very religious and are acquainted with all the "Left Behind" novels and movies with their accompanying apocalypse scenarios... The crowning of a "Messiah" in Wash DC has very very strong overtones. But that's a whole nuther can of worms.
