It's this Korean cult centered around the religious views of the Reverend Moon, which is why they're called "the moonies." Moon was pretty wealthy, I believe in part due to the importance of tithing, and he uses that money for lobbying. That, and his anticommunist views and his stance on reunifying the Korean peninsula, means he had some connections with certain political figures and founded the Washington Times newspaper . Here is a funny little video, complete with a H.W. Bush video lead in, of Moon making an address at the Washington Times Anniversary in 1992.
