You will find more direct evidence and reporting on the KCIA's ties. At the time South Korea was a dictatorship propped up by the US. Not a big leap to go from the KCIA to the CIA. Wikipedia is a potential starting point. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unification_Church https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unification_Church Here's a Washington Post article linked by Wikipedia, House Subcommittee's Report Links Rev. Moon to the KCIA (1977) https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/1977/08/05/house-subcommittees-report-links-rev-moon-to-the-kcia/56bc6558-c3cb-4fcf-aa7f-420c41c8bf1f/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/1977/08/05/h... New York Times covered it too. https://www.nytimes.com/1978/03/16/archives/unification-church-called-seoul-tool-house-panel-releases-documents.html https://www.nytimes.com/1978/03/16/archives/unification-chur... Please post any specific materials you find useful. Apologies for not having good links/books at the ready. Journalist Tim Shorrock posted (https://twitter.com/TimothyS/status/1558478761615626241 https://twitter.com/TimothyS/status/1558478761615626241), "Speaking of the Unification Church ... has anyone else noticed how US media coverage of Abe's assassination stopped the instant that the Japanese media began uncovering the unsavory ties between LDP, Abe, and the Moonies? Nothing about this event in the US press. Zilch." Sounds like the recent Japanese press might be a good place to look.
