More Bush Family Support of Rev. Moon

By Ed Brayton

This is just the latest in a relationship between the Bush family and the Moonies that goes back decades:

Neil Bush, younger brother of U.S. President George W. Bush, called on Paraguay's president as the guest of a business federation founded by the Rev. Sun Myung Moon.

A presidential press office source, who spoke on condition of not being named, confirmed the younger Bush met President Nicanor Duarte on Thursday along with a delegation from the Universal Peace Federation, a group associated with Moon.

Neil Bush has made millions from Moon, as has his father, George H.W. Bush, traveling all over the world pimping him as an agent of change. It is baffling to me how one of the nation's most powerful political families can be in bed with a fascist cult leader and have the media pay almost no attention to it.
