well-organized and expensive; the New York Times reported that the 1977
conference cost the ICF $500,000.(273)
Other units associated with Moon which are directed toward the goal of
winning scientists, academics, and members of the university community are
variously styled Professors Academy for World Peace, Collegiate Association for
the Research of Principles (CARP), and International Leadership Seminar. The
May 10, 1974 edition of New Hope News contained the following passage
relating to Moon's plans to influence American universities:
"Father wants to mobilize 20 or 30 of the Korean professors to influence
American academia, both professors and students. Because of this, Father
stressed the importance of building up CARP (Collegiate Association for
Research of the Principle) to serve as a foundation for their work when they
arrive.
Father said that college campuses are a major battlefield, and if we win there
we will definitely win America."(274)
In speeches to his followers and in internal publications, however, Moon
made it clear that he considers science conferences and other ICF projects to be
part of his organization's overall goal of controlling major institutions in the United
States and other key
322
nations and of influencing political decisions and policies. The January 30, 1973
Master Speaks, for example, contained a remarkable exposition of the worldwide
aspirations of the Moon Organization and the part to be played by science and
other conferences:
"The policy-makers in the background are the professors. Even though they
represent the cultural field, more than anything else we need scholars in the
scientific fields--in the political, cultural, and economic fields. That's why we
opened the Unified Science Conference in Europe last month. Next time we will
have the Unified Economists' Conference, and after that the World Politicians'
Conference. By our organizing the World Professors' Association we will have
them win the people in each field to come and join us * * *. The scholars will set
forth a subjective ideology, uniting the different fields into one. This will be the
leading ideology of the world.
Back in their own countries, these scholars will influence their own national
policies in a joint effort, which will enable us to direct the world policies toward
the same goals * * * we will surely influence the policies of the whole world in the
near future. In order to make it effective, we must have a very good university of
our own. We must establish a university in at least seven nations: Korea, Japan,
America, United Kingdom, France, Italy, and Germany." (275)
In the same speech, there is the revelation that the Moon Organization will
