Facing corrupt leaders in the Northeast Region (Part 5)

One year after Jin Pal Chung began his work as new leader an order was sent out by the headquarters prohibiting correspondence between core members of our Movement in Ukraine. No reason for such a direction was given. There were rumours that someone wrote a love letter to someone and therefore all (!) correspondence was banned.

Later it turned out that the real cause was one of the older members, Katarina Fedorenko, openly opposing Jin Pal Chung, urging members to listen to the voice of their conscience and the Divine Principle, to study Father’s words and not to blindly obey a man with questionable goals. She wrote letters to brothers and sisters, and that was the reason for the ban on correspondence.

When Hyun Jin Nim held at that time a seminar in the Baltic countries, he invited leaders from Ukraine. It was assumed that the leaders will return to Ukraine and talk about what was said in that workshop to brothers and sisters but nothing was conveyed to the general membership. The leaders talked in great detail about external difficulties but not about the content of the seminar. They had met in Kiev after the Baltic seminar and made their own strategy and decisions therefore they did not want the members to know what True Parents’ third son explained at that time.

Through the internet one brother found out what Hyun Jin Nim said in that seminar and posted it for others to read but he was forbidden to send out any newsletter. He was told that Ukraine is going another way – her own way decided by the national leader - and therefore he needs to listen to what Jin Pal Chung says.

The slogan, “Ukraine is going its own way”, was constantly repeated with the emphasis that members must listen to Jin Pal Chung and obey him. They were told that True Father’s speeches are not directly related to them because they have a different basis. This was repeatedly said at the Ukrainian meetings of members where instead of Father’s speeches the words of Jin Pal Chung were read and listened to. That meant that the content of what Father actually said reached the members only if they used the internet – what was generally not happening.

In a situation where the flow of information is centrally controlled it is easy to hide facts and to give false reports what became a reality e.g. at the time of the Blessing in 1997 where the total number of pairs participating in the Ukraine was immensely exaggerated, presented as 15 million people – because True Father wanted to give a large financial prize to the country with the highest number of participants. That situation once again showed that the people under Rev. Chung’s leadership and guidance did not hesitate to report lies and fictive numbers of Blessing participants to True Parents in order to steal the money from them which they had prepared for the country whose members are working the hardest in order to fulfill God’s desire.

In the Ukraine Cheong Jin Pal set up some businesses but those who work with him do not speak about it so it is very difficult for outsiders to find out what is going on. There is no doubt whatsoever that he holds the reign of control firmly in his hands and makes all the relevant decisions as a completely self-centred person who is out to establish his system similarly to Kim Il Sung who planted the Juche ideology into the hearts of the North Korean people.

What the new regional president of the former Soviet Union, China and Mongolia is presently doing resembles to a certain extent the work of Stalin to gain absolute power over the biggest country and region in the world. Similarly to that tyrant having forced people to move from one place to another, relocating them over great distances to settle in another part of the USSR (Union of Soviet Socialist Republics), the present leader on the Northeast

continent is asking that everyone should immediately quit their job and become a full-time member. From the smaller towns everyone should give children away and come to one of the three main cities, Moscow, St. Petersburg and Yekaterinburg as full-time members because activities will only be done in these three places in the largest country of the world.

The purpose of this resettlement of our members is not to advance God’s providence but to expand the rule of evil manifested in the heart of Rev. Chung who asks husbands and wives to separate and to work in different missions and to give away their children, promoting the destruction of Blessed families. Members have the choice to comply in absolute obedience or they are not considered to be a central Blessed family.

The goal of such orders lies of course in the strengthening of Mr. Chung’s power over our movement in that part of the world which was put under his responsibility. He does not want to save people and to bring God’s blessing to them but he wants to establish his system where he can control people, the flow of money, etc.

The reign of evil is being perfected from the viewpoint that under communism people were not free and they got used to this situation but their original mind asked questions and they searched for more than living in a materialist world which denies the existence of God. In the culture which the Chung brothers establish members are praying and they are more or less satisfied with their life where they are told what to do – because they do not need to take responsibility.

In this way the precious God-given aspect of responsibility is removed and people voluntarily live under a centralized system where their life is determined by others – the central leadership which decides how much money they earn, a question which Rev. Chung decides for all members who work in the businesses he controls; he wants members to live together with everybody receiving the same salary, etc.

That members are emotionally forced to act in a certain way is already well established in most countries of the Northeast continent like Latvia where those who wanted to share their testimony concerning True Love with Einari in their homes were called repeatedly and forbidden to do so. Personal freedom is long gone on the spiritual-emotional level where it is easy to control people as fallen emotions are mixed and they can easily be manipulated.

After the Fall nearly human emotions became more or less dysfunctional, bringing us discomfort. The problem is not that we experience fear, anger or anxiety, the problem is that we hang on them, we have ceased to be their masters over ourselves. From this viewpoint it may be understood that people who are deceived by communism live with the illusion of happiness and freedom.

Responsible behaviour is when we learn to manage our emotions and become the masters over them and achieve our goals. We are happy because we become like God, co- creators who care for all Creation.

Instead of building a world of freedom, peace and happiness pseudo-ideals are being practiced with God’s Principle being bent and even turned upside down in order to fit the self- centred desires of leaders who want to expand the realm of their power over people.

One of the saddest episodes in the history of the Ukrainian Unification Movement was the conflict between Jin Pal Chung and Clifford Yang who used to organize workshops for teachers and senior officials to introduce to them the educational materials of the International Educational Foundation (IEF) created to be used in middle schools in the field of moral and ethical education.

Before Mr. Chung came to the Ukraine our IEF program was on the verge of approval and recommendation by the Ministry of Education. Clifford Yang needed only about $ 3,000 a year in order to support his successful public activities but Rev. Chung refused to give him that incredibly small amount compared to the thousands of dollars which that national leader used centred on himself! The public good of proper moral education for a whole nation of 45 million people was sacrificed for the totally egoistic goals of one individual who opposed this precious program and pushed Clifford Yang out of the country in order to stop that precious project completely.

Clifford asked the Moscow leadership for help but he was told that Chung has too influential family relationships because his father Chung Soo Won is very close to True Father. For this reason the Headquarters has no chance to influence him. A few weeks ago this national messiah went to spirit world, and so now the son is fully controlling that position while his brother became the continental president of the Northeast region.

Not only Clifford Yang but also other main leaders like Kenzo Ando and Yamamoto- san were pushed out of the country by Jin Pal Chung. Previously, they had wanted to stay in the Ukraine for good and even moved their families there, but Mr. Chung does not allow any other influential leader in the country and therefore demanded their departure. Officially, Yamamoto-san said that he received a revelation that he needed to go back to Japan while he confessed the real reason for his departure in private conversations with some members.

It is very sad that foreign missionaries, who lived in the Ukraine for a long time, had to leave the country because of no support having been given to them while the church leader squandered incredible sums of public money which do not belong to him at all. His behaviour represents one of the worst crimes of misusing public money and misusing the trust of members, destroying our True Parents’ foundation on the national level.

Because Rev. Chung is seen as the central figure to look up to, he is a terrible example for brothers and sisters who are either subservient or they leave the church, what is now happening also in the Northeast region as the elder brother of this self-centred tyrant expands his rule over the whole continent. With this knowledge as background you can understand why Mr. Jin Hwa Chung asked Rev. Ando to throw Einari and me out of the Peace Embassy of Latvia, never to return again – because he wants to hide his crimes!

What is our worldwide membership doing in the face of such tragedies going on in the part of the world where the people suffered the most under the tyranny of communism? What are you doing, dear reader of these lines, as one of those who receive this report about evil reigning in our movement on the Northeast continent and many other places?

You may well be asked similar questions in the near future by your friends who will read about these realities in the media when everything is brought to the public. What will you answer to the outside people who ask you why you have been silent even though you knew of the grave misuse which is going on in the Movement you joined?

The time when it was possible to hide the crimes committed by leaders of our movement is long gone. Everyone will harvest according to his/her deeds.

May we all stand with a crystal clear conscience on judgement day which has surely begun in our midst as the truth is being brought to light not only about the behaviour of individuals but also about our collective indifference concenring grave sins being done in front of our eyes.
