Welcome to Cults Anon, the podcast where we talk about cults!

Join me this week for the thrilling conclusion of our deep dive into the Unification Church, better known as the "Moonies" after their founder and charismatic leader Sun Myung Moon. This week we discuss the Moonies deep ties to the modern day Republican party including the key role members of the cult played in the notorious Iran-Contra affair during the Reagan Administration in the 1980's and their recent participation in the Jan. 6 2021 US Capitol Insurrection in support of Donald Trump. Do the Moonies worship Jesus? Nope. Do they worship sex, money and M-16's? They sure do! Do they have a terrifying level of political influence in the US government? Of course! What nefarious cult doesn't? So lets talk about it.
