The sushi trade is unable to be separated from the moonies. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2021/11/05/magazine/sushi-us.html https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2021/11/05/magazine/sush... that will be Moon's legacy I know from personal experience that many Koreans who own sushi restaurants are part of this cult, they knew each other at church all donated a lot and the only reason I know is that my friend dated a girl whose parents were part of it.

The CIA involvement in spreading Christianity through Asia is not something that is talked about enough. It reminded me of the Bene Gesserit.

  Do you have a book rec on this? The story I always heard about Korea specifically was a lot of missionary organizations being there during and after the war and genuinely offering a lot of support.

How are moonie member owners to their workers?

  I think the ones I saw recently were all members of the cult. They're overly religious and their family and children are often working there, children hate it and the cult. They try to keep costs low, donations from their work high, and it seems to function efficiently with a religious fevor. I've never seen much excess use of money from sushi restaurants. Haven't been to a chick fil a in a while but maybe like that culture but less friendly, all family and they're thinking of more efficient ways to donate. Many sell merchandise and try to sell lots of high profit goods. I'm sorry if this isn't a good answer. Edit: I forgot about a sandwich shop (the yellow deli) I've heard that is always open that is a cult. I never been but it sounds a lot closer to this cult except they seen to recruit more and focus on cute receptionists girls working at the counters.

    North Koreans in Japan sometimes have businesses that operate to send money back home. Seems like a lot of coercion involved in both cases

      It happens a lot with dictator run governments. I heard that's how foreign Eritreans are treated, or their family dies. A man living in Australia told me he had to send money back to his government quite often.

Are there things that would tend to identify an establishments connections to the moonies? I.e. some kind of symbolism in decorations?
