Mormons are Unfit for Public Office or Journalism

Monday, September 6th, 2010

Who in the Christian conservative movement, or in the GOP, has been willing to denounce alliances with Mormons on the basis of Mormon racism?

Brigham Young and many other “prophets” of the Mormo-occult-heresy have made statements which are “holy writ” in Mormonism, regarding blacks.  You must understand that Mormon racism isn’t just a local policy, a personal belief, or even a group policy.  It is, to Mormons, “the word of god” that all black people were given, quoting Brigham Young, “black skin and flattened noses” as the Mark of Cain. The Mormon church accuses all black people of being descended from the world’s first murderer, accuses them of being cursed, and claims that their appearance was designed by “god” to outwardly display these “facts”.

First, it is a wicked, anti-Biblical, blasphemy against the true God, the God of the Bible, to say such things.   The term “Mormon blasphemy” is redundant.

But second, who out there is standing up to Glen Beck and Willard Romney from conservative, Christian, evangelicals?  Who from among conservative GOP members are denouncing them for their membership in an institutionally racist cult?

And who on the left?  Where is the usually whirling-dervish-race-card-playing on the left?  Has there been a single peep from Sharpton, Jackson, Obama, Clinton, ADL, ACLU, on and on, in the press, clearly denouncing Mormonism for its commitment to institutional racism?

[Crickets.]

If Beck or Romney were KKK members, the anti-defamation league would say something.  If they were KKK members, they would be unable to run for a GOP ticket or carry a TV show.  But because, and please notice this, they have a religious wrapper around their institutional racism, the press, the GOP, and even average evangelicals will not denounce them for the racists they are.

We have two serious problems.  One, the lack of denunciation and two the reason for the lack.  We cannot, as a people, give a blanket permission to evil groups to carry out their evil, simply because they are “religious”.  We cannot allow Islam to assault American institutions via Sharia Law and simply waive it on through because to oppose it would be to oppose someone’s faith.  We cannot allow Mormon institutional racism in public office or media simply because Mormons are “devout”.

So who will oppose this?

I will:

Glenn Beck and Willard Romney:

I demand you publicly to reject and renounce all these words of Brigham Young on racial matters, as prophecy. I call on you to publicly declare that Brigham Young’s statements on race are NOT the word of god, are NOT true, and were inspired by evil.  I call on you to  denounce and reject Alma 6:3 and 2 Nephi 5:21 as the word of god. I call on you to reject the principle that everything Brigham Young said in the prophetic voice is the word of god because of his declaring that black skin is the Mark of Cain.  If you will not repudiate Mormon scriptural and prophetic racist  statements, I call on you to leave public life, as you are institutional racists, unfit for journalism or public office.

I call on the GOP to reject Mormons for office, based on their institutionally racist beliefs.

I call on evangelical Christians to publicly support blacks, renounce Mormons for their commitment to wicked beliefs, declare the wickedness of Mormon doctrine, and declare the perfection of the real and Biblical Gospel of Jesus Christ.

California is playing out its bankruptcy like an overexposed movie star trying hard after the plastic surgery has faded. But while the fashionable bankruptcies around the state borrow sparkle from the tinsel, they also give a great opportunity for a return to virtue, as splurging has proved a poor way to govern.

People forget that God is not just about virtue and decency, He is also about good results when His precepts are followed. But as we are all aware, public schools in California are so furiously anti-God they prosecute kids for meeting in Bible clubs after school. So, for all that anger against students, what has California’s output been? Is hating God outcome-based?

In 2009, California’s government-controlled schools… read more at WorldNetDaily.com

Screwtape on David Barton and Glenn Beck

Tuesday, August 31st, 2010

My Dearest Wormwood,

I would like to congratulate you on persuading David Barton to support the occult missionary rally you orchestrated on the national mall, and to speak so forcefully on Frank Pastore’s radio program that the occult missionary was bearing “good fruit”.  It is the perfect example of how The Enemy’s symbolic language can be twisted to the purposes of Our Father Below.

But we couldn’t agree with Barton more.  Beck is leading millions to view all our doctrines that we wrote for my patient, Smith, with great ardor.  Which “good fruit” was Barton referring to?  While we suspect that it is political power, you must run and find out securely, so as to keep a ready supply of it flowing to him.  Press on until we hear him quoting Brigham Young!

But your patient Barton has, for all practical purposes, come into the fold.  We all laughed with hysterics when he said that matters of holiness and judgment were just “labels” and that the fruit, which we suspect might mean just the popularity, demonstrated that Beck was wonderful.  How quickly they eat the candy when we offer it to them!  How long do you suppose it will take for Barton to agree with you that a Mormon wife’s salvation is controlled by her husband?

It’s startling how these moderns follow the Galation example and become quickly bewitched.  In Barton’s case, he nearly begged you for it on condition only that his big rally be a success.  For all their rhetoric about their love of the real J****, Barton and Palin and others quickly surrender the Enemy’s doctrine when we allow them to retain both the public reputation of being in the Enemy’s camp and the crowd’s adulation. Private and real love of the Enemy’s doctrine was swapped out in a heartbeat when rhetoric and labels were preserved – breathtaking! We here are so impressed with the depths to which you have fallen.

Now, of course, you must continually appeal to pride.  Focusing on people who’s private efforts have not been in proportion to their public success is, in our view, the right path, though it is utterly orthodox and prosaic.  Yet, it’s working for you, and Our Father Below has chosen not to berate you for being predictable.  Even a mediocre devil like you is no match for the average patient, once he has been through our Plan for Vague Love and Gauzy Thinking.

Of course, now, all the Enemy’s power will leave Barton and you must be quick to infuse him with a measure of our own. Never let him miss a moment. With the adroitness with which he abandoned his “first love” (sneer implied) he will not miss the leaving the presence of the Enemy, so long as you are very quick to supply appearances on major TV programs, vouchers for which have been authorized by the Anti-Home office.

Our Facsimile Religion is working out splendidly.  It controverts every major fact about the Enemy (virgin birth, Omnipotence, exclusive ‘salvation’, etc) but supplies a comprehensive cultural and political supplanting.  So, our trade is obvious.  We offer cultural and political ascendancy in exchange for the Real J*****.  If they make the trade, lavish them with the cultural and the political (fornication and money are appropriate later when they no longer doubt their own importance) so that they are not tempted to reverse themselves, save their souls.  If any of them speak against our successful franchise, mock them as hard as you can, and threaten to exclude them from social circles.  This reflects Our Father Below’s proverb that bad company corrupts good character only so long as there is enough of it.

We admire your national work and your work on the radio show host Pastore.  We were beside ourselves in knots of laughter when he simultaneously spoke of our franchise as being “Of” Our Father Below and yet something his audience ought to partner with as a cultural ally.  You really have done a remarkable job and its precisely that sort of convoluted nonsense we want to hear about you everywhere – keep them confused, self-contradictory, clueless, and above all feeling the ‘need’ to be relevant.

As for your infantile concern that the patients are not ignorant of our schemes, (and you needn’t quote the Enemy to me again) I remind you that our position has nothing to do with knowledge at this point.  Barton and many of his followers in the crowd pride themselves on having extraordinary knowledge of the Enemy’s precepts.  But the operation you are running appeals to pride.  As the Enemy is fond of saying (and I shall quote him to you to terrify you) “knowledge puffs up”.  So, increase their knowledge exponentially and don’t fear if that knowledge even publishes our plans.  All that matters is that neither obedience nor humility intrude.

May they know it all, but follow none.

With fear and loathing,

Uncle Screwtape

Lewis Carroll, ICE Commissioner

Thursday, August 26th, 2010

The nation is well aware that Arizona is being assaulted by the federal government for daring to use local police to bring lawbreakers to jail. But lesser known is the revelation we find today from the Immigration and Customs Enforcement employees’ union.  According to its workers, the federal agency charged with actually enforcing the immigration laws is doing precisely what Arizona accuses the feds of doing:  nothing.

“The majority of ICE’s enforcement and removal officers are prohibited from making street arrests or enforcing U.S. immigration laws outside of the jail setting.”

Read that sentence again slowly.

Lewis Carroll , prophetically imagining the US immigration policy of the twenty-first century wrote, “If it was so, it might be; and if it were so, it would be; but as it isn’t, it ain’t.”   It could be the motto for ICE;  we’ve subcontracted sovereignty to the Mad Hatter.

But the statement from the ICE employee’s union, accompanying a denunciation of the head of the agency issued by its officers, is both insurrection and sanity.  When insanity is your breakfast, you’ve got to quit eating it, and the agents decided enough is enough.

Civil order requires laws, obedience by the citizenry, and maintenance of discipline within the command ranks.  We now have a loss of all three, as evidenced by this statement from the employees union.  We know that the immigration law is flouted by the US government.  We know that the citizens of Mexico do not obey the US law and that citizens of Arizona are prevented from enforcing American sovereignty.  But new is this third piece -  the breakdown in the chain of command that maintains authority amongst enforcers.

What’s going on?

America needs to recognize Mad Hatters for what they are:  a premeditated attempt to dismantle our social order from inside out.  We are not facing a natural breakdown due to circumstances.  We are facing intelligently created circumstances designed to assist a deliberately orchestrated breakdown.  We can abandon the hypothesis of a natural disaster striking our social order when we notice that too many factors neatly line up, too many perfect storms land in one beach, too many brightly timed lunatics compounding the mess.

Let me give you an example.

When one plane hit the World Trade Center, most people thought it was an accident – a terrible, perhaps incompetent, ghastly, improbable, accident.  But when the second plane hit the second tower, instantly the entire world knew it was a premeditated attack.  That is the world’s most stark example of intelligent design.  It was possible to argue for a freak accident on the first plane, and impossible to argue for an accident with the second.

From coincidences too numerous to list, the public is realizing that our country’s border defense is under attack from the American side of the border. The breaking of the ICE is not normal.

It’s obvious this is not incompetence or accident:

Arizona’s police are not allowed to bring illegal immigrants to prison, because that’s a federal job.  But Federal agents are not allowed to enforce federal immigration laws except in a prison.  State police don’t bring them to jail, and jail is the only place the law applies; it’s perfect.  That leaves all of America as a sanctuary city where illegal immigration is still legal. When you can only arrest someone if they are already in jail,  that’s not law, it’s Lewis Carroll.

“If you drink much from a bottle marked ‘poison’ it is certain to disagree with you sooner or later.”, notes our prophet.  How did that man so clearly foretell something so obscure as immigration policy?
