Facing corrupt leaders in the Northeast Region (Part 4)

Jin Pal Chung, the national messiah of Ukraine, came to that nation in May 1999. Almost immediately, he centralized the financial affairs of the church. Previously, each city had its own budget and sent teams to raise funds to various cities in the country and abroad, using the connections established with foreign missionaries. The financial situation of each town depended on the efforts of the brothers and sisters living in that place.

Jin Pal Chung stopped that practice. From that time on he did not allow anybody to form a team in order to raise funds and he alone decided how the funds are used. There was no official flow of money but he has been going personally round to the centres in order to collect the money and nobody knew where to the money went.

Imagine, such a situation of one person having full control over the national budget which is not reported to members but only known by the top leader, has been going on for many years and nobody could do something about it! This became possible because the leader of the Ukraine did not connect properly with the headquarters in Moscow but did his own thing by establishing a system of absolute power over all financial dealings of our Movement in that country.

Over the past years, Ukrainian brothers and sisters have continuously raised funds in developed countries like America, Japan, South Korea, and in the Schengen area. There have always been about 15 members raising money in such nations. As a rule, only such brothers and sisters were sent there whose efforts would guarantee a good FR result. Others would not be sent because it is very difficult to get a visa and the travelling costs for members to go to these countries are rather high as they did not travel by train to the nations where they would fundraise. Only carefully selected people who have shown to bring good results in the Ukraine and in CIS countries were chosen to go abroad.

According to the calculation made by one Ukrainian brother in 2007 concerning the daily average net result (with the cost of food and transportation deducted) in developed countries does not fall below $ 100, but is usually about $ 200-250 for one FR member. Given the time spent traveling every FR member abroad raises funds for at least 300 days a year. Doing some simple calculations we see that when we multiply the average minimum result of a fundraiser times 300 (days) and times 15 (people abroad) it turns out that at least $ 450,000 are raised each year. If the average per person is $ 200, the amount is double and reaches almost a million dollars per year.

Where does the money go? How much money is needed in order to run the church activities in the Ukraine? For many consecutive years the number of full-time members who have been fully sponsored by the church, ranged between 50 to 70 people. The cost of food is about $ 1 a day per person. For soap, toothpaste, and personal expenses, as well as clothing, brothers and sisters raise funds in the cities of their mission. It turns out that food costs are as follows: 50 to 70 members, multiplied by $ 1 and 365 days, amount to some 20.000 to 25.000 dollars per year.

As church centre typically three-bedroom apartments are used which can be rented for $ 300-400, depending on the city. In the Ukraine there are seven witnessing centres. Including the maintenance of church properties the costs are altogether between 30.000 and 33,000 dollars.

Another item of expenses are holding PR-events and religious ceremonies: presentations, conferences, charity projects, Blessing, God’s Day in Kiev. The overall costs for such events have been between 30,000 and 40,000 dollars in the most active years while in normal years not more than $ 10,000. Periodic meetings of all members in Kiev do not

require a lot of money, especially because the travelling costs are raised by brothers and sisters themselves in their mission cities.

When we take extra costs into consideration we can add for this purpose $ 10,000 a year, although, this amount is of course too high. A lot of money spent on phone calls, a direct result of carelessness and irresponsibility of members, but still will make them into a column of expenses - $ 12,000 a year. All other expenses of members are not covered by public funds.

So, how much money is spent on maintenance of the Ukrainian Unification Church? Using the highest estimates we can come up with the following numbers: Food - $ 25,000 a year, Properties for rent - $ 33,000 a year, PR-campaigns and religious ceremonies - $ 40,000 a year, Payment of telephone bills - $ 12,000 a year and $ 10,000 a year make together a total of $ 120,000

Compare now this number of yearly expenditure with the about one million dollar raised by voluntary fundraisers and you have to ask the question: Where are the other eight to nine hundred thousand dollars which have been personally collected by Jin Pal Chung?

One answer can be found in what his wife said when she came for the first time in seven years of his staying in the Ukraine to their mission country and said at a meeting with members: “I never believed my husband because he is a braggart. But when he bought us a house in Korea, I realized that in the Ukraine really great things are happening.”

Is it the task of a national leader to let members work hard so that he can buy for himself and his family a house in another country – in this case in Korea - while the members in the Ukraine are living under rather poor conditions?

I do not know how many thousands of dollars the house which Jin Pal Chung bought in Korea had cost but it is wrong to begin with that only he and not his family is in the Ukraine because Father had clearly requested that National Messiahs have to move together with their families to their mission countries - with their tribe supporting them.

Instead of obeying Father’s direction which many National Messiah families followed in 1996 Jin Pal Chung did not bring his family and financial support to the mission country but took money raised for the restoration of Ukraine for his own family in Korea which means nothing less than sacrificing the higher purpose of national restoration for the individual and family level, reversing the Principle of living for the greater good.

In 2005 the Security Service of Ukraine raided the main offices of our church in that country. What was stored on computers was copied and some of this information came to the media, resulting in the local Kiev TV movie that reported about properties bought by Jin Pal Chung near Kiev, mostly expensive mansions. Our members knew nothing about these mansions even though it was through their hard work that these properties were bought and not used for the public purpose, proving the grave misuse of hundreds of thousands of dollars of public funds.

Jin Pal Chung leads a luxurious life, which he does not hide. In the Ukraine there have been several national leaders, but only when Rev. Chung appeared the tradition was established that when he sits down with brothers and sisters at the table he gets served expensive delicacies while others are eating regular food. None of the previous national leaders have acted in such a way.

He drives an expensive car, explaining that he is ashamed to go to VIPs in a cheaper model. For months, no one knows where he is because he just disappears. He loves to travel around the world, collecting money from the fund-raising teams. There are of course other

cheaper methods of delivery of money to Ukraine. During these travels he visits beautiful places and it is not clear what he is doing when he is abroad instead of serving the people in his mission country.

Jin Pal Chung has been misusing his position as the national leader of a big country of some 45 million people with 35% of them living on income under the poverty line. Because many parents do not have enough money to feed their children they give them away to public institutions where more than 100.000 children live without their parents who are too poor to feed them. Millions of old people exist in misery with hardly enough money to live a normal life…

And on the other side we have the person who is responsible for the restoration of that poor nation leading a luxurious life, spending hundreds of thousands of dollars for his private completely self-centred purposes. Could the mocking of True Parents be any worse as it is practiced in this way of reversing the Principle and practicing the total opposite of God’s desire?

It is indeed very true what Jin Pal Chung says about himself: “I have still desire to smoke, drink, take drugs and sexual desire. I am a terrible guy…” Such a truly terrible person who is actually a criminal in front of God and the Ukrainian people - who has stolen millions of dollars of public money in the course of the 14 years since he has begun robbing the country by taking the money that was raised for the restoration of the people of Ukraine by sacrificially hard working members in order to use it for his self-centred purposes – is now expanding his influence in the Northeast region!

The time has come for evil to be exposed and for false leaders to be removed in line with Father telling us on Children’s Day in 1983: “Do not pay attention to anyone, including leaders, who do not obey me; those who don’t listen to me but insist on doing things their own way should be kicked out. Even if they are Korean or Japanese leaders, it doesn’t matter. The precious leaders are those who are following God’s will.”

A few months before he left for the spirit world Father said to the leaders present on the Day of victory of Love: “When you are lying you say the worst kind of lies, worse than the communists… I’ll be investigating. If I create a system to investigate what Unification Church members are doing, everything will become very clear within a three year period…

Investigations are being made in the Heavenly nation and in the Unification Church so that we will know who is communist and who is messing around and lies…”

All evil is now coming to light and our members around the world can find out based on facts who are the communists in our midst and who say lies worse than communists, turning the Principle upside down in order to serve their self-centred purposes and evil desires.

It is our collective responsibility to bring the truth to light not only concerning what has been going on in former communist countries like the Ukraine and other nations of the Northeast region but also on other continents where leaders are misusing public funds and commit all kinds of crimes in front of Heaven.

Whoever practices True Love will act as his brother’s keeper and stop him from continuing to commit grave sins. It is out of love for these leaders that I reveal their crimes to our worldwide membership so that these evil people may be stopped as soon as possible from continuing on their satanic path of misuse on so many levels.
