-Caveat Lector- Hi ! The first two parts of this post have information on the Mormons. The second two have information on MK-Ultra. Sincerely, Neil Brick from : http://members.aol.com/SMARTNEWS/Sample-Issue-19.htm "Mormonism, Masonry and Godhood - Can Angels be Trusted" by Dr. Cathy Burns. Please use caution while reading this. It may be triggering. The book is Christian in nature and contains quotes from the Bible. Joseph Smith (Junior) was born in Vermont in 1805. "Joe himself was known for (allegedly) being lazy, lying and exaggerating, as well as having an attraction to several occult pratices including fortune telling and divining." (Pg. 5) When he was 19, he found "himself in court charged with vagrancy and fraud." (Pg. 7) Polygamy was "an everlasting covenant". Smith had 49 wives, Brigham Young, his successor had 27 wives. (Pg. 41) One part of Mormonism is "Baptism of the Dead." "It costs over $10 million dollars a year to maintain these (baptizing) facilities...(they believe) only baptized Mormons can attain godhood." (Pg. 51) "Joseph Smith, Senior...was (allegedly) a firm believer in witchcraft and other super natural things..." (Pg. 54) "(He) was also well-known in his community for (allegedly) using blood sacrifices in his magic rituals to find hidden treasure." (Pg. 56) "...In The Satanic Bible "Mormo" is listed as one of the...names for Satan...Mormo is also listed as the "King of Ghouls ..." (Pg. 63-64) From pages 72-85, Ms. Burns shows some parallels between the Mormons and the Masons, including: The Five Points of Fellowship (which has alleged connections to Satanism)," Smith and Young were both Masons, "1500 Mormons were kicked out of Masonry...thereafter, the Temple ceremony of Mormonism came into effect." (Pg.75), many rites and rituals are similar, many oaths were similar including threats of death (for revealing the tokens of Aaronic priesthood), and levels of priesthood. One prominent Mormon, Cleon Skousen, former F.B.I. head, faculty member of BYU, allegedly welcomed Sun Myung Moon("Moonies") home from prison. He said "that God had sent...Moon to our country with a revelation and a message.... The Mormon/Moonie (alleged) coalition involves the Freeman Institute's (now the National Center for Constitutional Studies) in a new global anti-communist campaign with CAUSA International, an (alleged) Moonie front organization." (Pg. 85) The Mormon church collects 4.3 billion dollars from its members and has numerous land holdings and businesses. They also own 16 radio stations, one TV station, and 30 bookstores in Utah. (Pg. 87-90) From an article originally in the Salt Lake Tribune, "Utah ranks second in the nation for reported incidents of child abuse per capita...child abusers are (allegedly) spread across the entire socioeconomic spectrum and leaders at every church level. There are (allegedly) abusing bishops, stake presidents, elders, quorum presidents...LDS leaders often (allegedly) testify in court on behalf of the abuser." (Pg. 94) Even though Blacks are now allowed in Mormonism, originally they were not. Brigham Young "declared that one drop of Negro blood was sufficient to bring a person under the curse and bar him from the priesthood." (Pg. 97-98) from : http://members.aol.com/SMARTNEWS/Sample-Issue-21.htm Federal Lawsuit Article Please use caution while reading. It may be triggering. The lawsuit mentioned in the article has been filed in federal court and has been neither proven nor disproven at this point. All crimes and allegations mentioned in the article are alleged. Scott v. Mormon Church, A Federal Lawsuit Introduction by Plaintiff's Attorney, Tim Kosnoff On March 19, 1998, a lawsuit for damages was filed against the Mormon Church in the United States District Court for the District of Oregon in Portland, Oregon. The suit charges that church officials failed to warn or protect the plaintiff or the plaintiff's parents from an elder and youth leader the church knew had an extensive history of sodomizing children within the church. The suit further accuses the Mormon Church of a pattern and practice of protecting pedophiles and other child sex offenders within its membership, by failing to report incidents of child sex abuse as required by law, by discouraging victims from reporting incidents of abuse to the police and by obstructing vigorous investigation of complaints of child sex abuse by civil authorities. The case, Scott v. Corporation of the Presiding Bishop of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and Gregory Lee Foster, 98-366 AA, (hereinafter Scott v. LDS), accuses the church of knowingly retaining Franklyn Richard Curtis, known by the church to be a predatory pedophile, to participate as a leader in LDS Church youth activities, of knowingly failing to report Curtis' sexual molestations of Mormon children to law enforcement authorities as required by law, of knowingly failing to warn the members of the LDS Church about the danger Curtis presented to children and of knowingly failing to protect children from Curtis' sexual abuse. "Journey Into Madness" by Gordon Thomas, discusses the CIA's long history of allegedly sponsoring torture and medical abuse. The book discusses in part the alleged roles of Allen Dulles, William Casey and Dr. Ewen Cameron. Bantam Books, 66(*)6 5th Ave, NY, NY 10103, ISBN 0-553-05357-4. Please use caution.
