If Japan were to become a Communist country, Korea would be like a mouse in the sight of a poisonous snake. That is why I have been working in secret for the last ten years in order to avoid such a national crisis. I am in the position of taking responsibility so that the entire Japanese political establishment can take an anti-Communist line; similar to the way it is in Korea. The Japanese government has opposed the policy taken by Korea, but from now on they will have to follow Korea. When there can be a foundation on which to restore Japan completely to the side of Heaven, centering on Korea as the Adam-type country, then the whole world can change direction. (23-292)

Communist China and the Soviet Union have their eyes on Japan. What would happen to Korea if Japan were to take a leftist direction? What can a mouse do, once it is in the sights of a poisonous snake? It would also have to become a leftist country. I am helping Japan, so that it can go in a right-wing direction. In Japan, the Communist Party has made it so that politicians cannot adopt an anti-Communist coloring. (23-138)

Besides Kim Il Sung, Korea is surrounded by the Soviet Union and Communist China. That is why Korea needs Japan. Ten years ago, I let one of our missionaries go to Japan on a boat carrying illegal immigrants. This was in order to begin the process of establishing a foundation. It's a miracle that this foundation could be established in a period of one year and seven months. (27-266)

No one in the Korean government realizes this. I said then: OJust wait ten years. Right now, people may think that this kind of illegal action is not suitable for the citizen of a country that respects the rule of law. In the future, though, this action will bring freedom to Asia. It doesnOt matter if today people accuse me of being a traitor to the nation. Someday, history will give testimony to the fact that my convictions and actions are just." Based on this thinking, I acted decisively. It was a time when Unification Church members were almost starving.

If Korea ignores Japan it will decline. Korea should hang on to Japan. It should pursue policies that place the two countries in a common fate so that they will always be together. (68-161)

If Korea is to survive, it must carry Japan on its back. International power relations in Asia will be determined by which country establishes an alliance with Japan. That is why Communist China and the Soviet Union are competing with each other over Japan. They arenOt even thinking about Korea now. They think that they can take care of Korea any time they want. Kim Il Sung is going back and forth between the two and playing them off against each other. (April 26, 1981)

The Republic of Korea has to hang on to Japan. Otherwise, there will be no way to survive. Korea canOt go with China. It canOt go with the Soviet Union. Korea has to go with Japan. On the foundation of Japan, it has to hang on to the United States. When Korea is no longer able to hang on to these two countries, it will lose its way in the world. I had already planned for this 15 years ago.

A certain man named Moon did these things even though people cursed him at the time. Even as he was being cursed, he worked to save Asia and to save the Republic of Korea. Is he, then, a traitor to the country and a traitor to the Church? When the situation with Japan is resolved, then we will be able to shut out Communism worldwide centering on the American continent, on the Senators in the government and opposition parties in the United States and by bringing together all the forces around the United States.
