Text of the page (random words):
ased used some of the information we had collected to write many commentaries for various publications including newsmax and in a 2004 self published 700 page book entitled out of moscow and into new york in which he warned that china and russia could come to dominate the western democracies by threatening their annihilation with post nuclear superweapons based on nanotechnology etc 1982 mid june to 1983 jan 15 returned to luxembourg and helped the small local group of members of the unification church with various business and other activities also tried unsuccessfully to find a regular job outside the movement i was waiting to hear from thomas c and his british business partner peter e in cyprus when the money would be available to launch the middle east times shortly after my departure from new york moon had organized a mass wedding of over 2 000 couples at madison square garden on 1 july a similar but larger wedding was to take place in seoul south korea in october as the date for this event approached i was urged by my moonie friends in luxembourg and in new york to participate in it i was plagued by doubts about moon himself whom we revered as the messiah and many aspects of the movement i didn t like and felt i was not ready for such a deep commitment but as my friends kept insisting and offered to lend me the money needed for the trip and the various expenses involved in such an undertaking i agreed to go i flew to seoul via singapore and stayed with thousands of other members at the school of the little angels children s folk ballet of korea a dance troupe moon had founded in 1962 two days after my arrival on 10 october 1982 i had my closest encounter with moon himself as he was matching couples for the upcoming blessing in a big hall in the main building of the little angels school he asked western men who wanted to be matched with oriental women to come forward i was one of several dozen or more who did so after matching a few others he reached over somebody else s shoulder gently took me by the chin and to my great surprise asked me directly in english why i wanted an oriental wife i said i thought it was more interesting and i could learn more he seemed to like my answer then he asked where i worked and where i was from and after hearing my answers he took me along a row of oriental women and chose my future wife tomoko who is japanese i realized later that i was chosen for the blessing not because i was a good member or ready but simply because they needed to try to get as close to 6 000 couples together as possible so bodies were needed to fill the quota our blessing in seoul in october 1982 among nearly 6 000 couples c n h after moon matched us tomoko and i were led to a hall on the second floor of the building where several oriental sisters were sitting on a carpet talking to other newly formed couples one japanese sister who spoke good english acted as our translator even though like most japanese tomoko had learned some english in school she had never actually practiced it and found it very difficult the sister asked if we had any questions and tomoko asked me through her whether i wanted children although founding families and raising children was a central theme in our unification belief system i had never considered this idea for myself at all to me a female partner would be just something like a very close friend and traveling companion i answered that i hadn t thought about it but if tomoko wanted children i would help her and welcome any offspring she was satisfied with my answer and we returned downstairs to bow to moon indicating that we accepted the matching some people who didn t want to accept their new partners were severely scolded by moon one thing that amazed me in the following days was that i somehow always quickly found tomoko among large groups of oriental sisters even though i had seen her only very briefly and we were able to communicate only with gestures and a handful of english words that she managed to pronounce on 14 october we were officially blessed by moon and his wife in the jamshil gymnasium along with 5 836 other couples we lived in different places as men and women were strictly separated and could not spend much time together as we were almost always surrounded by hundreds or thousands of other couples in the unification church at the time it was customary for newly married couples to spend a few years apart before they could get together to start a family in our case as tomoko was only 23 at the time i was 31 her japanese leaders felt she had plenty of time and we should get together only after she turned 30 or even later which meant that we would have to wait at least 7 years tomoko had to return to japan a few days after our blessing but i stayed a few more days in korea and joined other members on a very interesting bus trip to gyeongju and pusan after returning to luxembourg i continued working with local church members until word came from cyprus that we could start the middle east times early the following year 1983 in january i traveled by train from luxembourg to athens where i linked up with dana w who had flown in from the us we stayed two days in the greek capital and then flew olympic airways to larnaca cyprus on 15 january 1983 jan 15 to 1987 may 4 lived in nicosia cyprus working for middle east times

percent of the island s area from the internationally recognized republic of cyprus which is dominated by greek cypriots the northern turkish cypriot state is recognized only by turkey soon after we started making our plans for the newspaper we were able to rent a large office on the fourth floor of a 5 storey building on dighenis akritas avenue in nicosia thomas dana peter and i were joined by toni m an american sister with whom i had worked in washington dc in 1975 and later at the news world in new york for a short time another sister church member joined us in the early days jane s who i believe was originally from australia also we were able to hire other professional staff who were not church members including cypriots elpida n and philip de c american gary l briton ian m a
