Reverand Moon, 92 year old spiritual leader of the Unification church of Korea is suffering major organ failure and on life support. Barring a divine intervention, he is not expected to recover.
Reverend Moon has been the financial backer of the Washington Times over the objections of some of his close relatives. The Times already cut much of its staff and printed circulation. If Reverand Moon dies, that may cause changes to the Washington Times, which is the source for TRN’s Hourly newscasts and the America’s News Network.
Reverand Moon has gone to wherever prophets go.

Quite an interesting family. Reverend Moon didn’t have his first child until his 40s, then turned out 14 children in 22 years, four of whom are already dead. The oldest is a 52 year old daughter and the youngest is a 30 year old son.
Mother Moon will guide the transition to the Second Generation, turning the keys over to the youngest son, over the objections and legal efforts of the eldest surviving son, who would normally lead the family under Korean law.
Well, this turn of events does not bode well for the WT, or the youngest son. Wonder who the ‘Man in the Moon’ will support?
