“What is
Going On?”

Over the past two plus days I’ve been pondering
how to address what happened on Tuesday in Utah. This has been very troubling
to me in that in many who know me – I’m the only Mormon that they know. Several
have asked questions about the apparent fraud which took place. Much of it is
on the news and in the media but it’s much more than even this. First it was
reported record crowds showed up in Utah to vote – yet there were only 175,000
votes cast on the GOP side. In 2012 there were over 237,000 votes cast (in a no
contest primary). Indeed in Utah there are over 1.2 million registered voters
who usually vote. This alone is a cause for concern in that record crowds would
mean a considerable amount of votes were never counted or lost.
But there’s a bigger problem in that several prominent
members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints used their
recognition to actively campaign against one of the candidates with material
which was less than credible. Indeed they implied they were representing the
Church – which they were not and cannot! However, to the rest of the world and
especially the disaffected anti-Mormon crowds have found great fertilizer in
what they did and the shame of the Utah Primary.
First, a couple of notes: 1) approximately 50%
of Utah’s population is Mormon; 2) of this % about 40+% are inactive; 3) the
membership of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is higher outside
the US than in the US; 4) with over 14 million members world-wide the Church is
not a cult; and 5) what the Church does for those within the US and outside
represent much better the view of the Church.
Personally I cannot understand the reasons of
why two normally sane people would say and do what they did! I know that it is
not the way I think – and it is not the way many of the membership of the
Church who I know think. So there’s something deeper and more sick going on.
The elite of the GOP/DEM (one must remember they are both funded by the same
people) want the status quo – i.e. we are allowed to believe we’re free and
have rights – we wake up in the morning – go to work – pay our bills – but they
control our laws and therefore are our prison keepers. We can go to the malls –
drink – or do anything we want to do – but they’ll think and act for us in all
things they can get control of from us. This includes the election process.
This has been going on since Adams/Jefferson – got really bad under A. Jackson
and then came to full frustration with the advent of the Federal Reserve System
– followed by the direct election of Senators – into a full scale oligarchy.
Reagan upset their unrestricted control and he was forced to take Bush as his
VP or the elite would’ve destroyed him.
Throw in the msm who hates anyone and everyone
except those who own them (part of the elite) and you’ve the perfect watchdog
to contain any and all who confront the elitist in our nation. Of course the msm
forgets the first to go will be them and free speech (which they surrendered
long ago).
Thus, please understand what is going on is the
destruction of the US Constitution and the rights guaranteed by it to the
people, the states and fully corrupted to the federal government and their
masters. Teddy Roosevelt started this in the early 1900’s by changing the
concept of the Constitution which was understood by one and all of the Founding
Fathers to be that the powers not delegated specifically to the Federal
Government belonged to the States. He reversed and said any powers not
delegated directly to the states in the Constitution were the responsibility of
the Federal Government.
How do you explain this to a non-Mormon – simple
– to me at least – when my wife and I joined the Church it was because the Church
was true – meeting every aspect of the Holy Bible – and not because of the people
or membership. Some of the people are very good people as there are many very
good people throughout the world – and some are not! Not everyone is a Mother
Teresa and not everyone is a criminal – and most are somewhere in-between.
I’ll end this here and am willing to discuss
further if there are questions. Clear, common-sense – means we try to
understand – but do not judge the actions of others (in final judgement) but we
do remember in our intermediate judgement we must look for truth and not just
opinion of the mob. c/ork

In-between”

Most of
us maybe almost all
are
neither perfect or even close
we try
to do our best always
(and as
Winston Churchill said;
“Sometimes
our best isn’t good
enough,
we just have to do
what
gets the job done!”)
and as
such we do must do this
get the
job done properly
attacking
the enemy and sin
embracing
the good and truth
somewhere
in between extremes
each of
us are found this day
hoping
closer to Mother Teresa
thus
being closer to the Savior!
