Mormon History of War with America

1. Prior to becoming a prophet of God, Joseph Myth was a con man from upper New York State with an arrest record. It seems Smith was arrested several times for "treasure hunting", a trade he learned from his father. Smith hire-out his "occult skills" to look for treasure on the lands of the farmers in the area where he grew up in New York state, which had been buried by the "ancients". This process entailed using "seer stones", which would allow Smith to actually see where the treasure had been buried. Many of Smith's customers were less than satisfied at the results they received, and consequently had him arrested for fraud.

2. Smith's so-called "First Vision" was in 1820, when Smith was only 14 years old. Smith also wrote several versions of this so-called vision beginning in 1832, but none of these accounts were published until the 1840s. And, although Smith described multiple versions of his so-called "First Vision", Smith's original so-called "First Vision" in 1820 was essentially unknown to early Latter Day Saints. Smith's original 1820 "First Vision" is also referred to as the "Grove Experience" and the "Missouri Compromise of 1820" wherein the US Congress banned slavery in states that were north of the Mason-Dixon LIne.

During Smith's so-called "First Vision", the Angel Moroni led Smith to the site where the "Golden Plates" were buried, near Palmyra, New York. Luckily for Smith he had his trusty "seer stones", which were nicknamed the Urim and Thummin, and he used them to to translate the "Golden Plates", written in "reformed Egyptian", into the Book of Mormon. Unfortunately, after Smith translated the "Golden Tablets" into the book of mormon, they were returned to the angel Moroni and have never been seen again. Today, the Mormon religion not only refers to these famous "seer stones" as the "Urim and Thumin", it also refers to itself as a "mainstream Christian relgion".

3. In 1820, US Congress passed the "Missouri Compromise", which admitted Missouri into the Union as a "northern state", which allowed slavery. The Mason-Dixon Line was also created to segregate "northern states" from "southern states" and also formed the boundery between "slave-states" and "free-states". The cadre of racists that eventually created the Mormon religion were living in up-state New York around Palmyra and Fayette (adjacent to Rochester), when the Missouri Compromise of 1820 was passed. These same people also happened to own slaves and had even been involved in funding the Caribbean slave-trade from various New England states. And, they were none too happy about this new law. Obviously, they would now have to divest themselves of their slaves, move to a "slave-state" or fight the US Government. They ended up chosing to both move and fight the US Government.

4. Between 1820 and 1830, Smith and his cadre of racist Mormons created the Mormon religion, which was originally plagerized from the King James version of the Bible and the Deist Philisophies of Thomas Paine. However, Smith's dad was also a Mason, as was Joseph's brother, Hyrum, who was 6-years his senior. Consequently, much of the lore of Freemasonry was also incorporated into Smith's new Mormon religion between 1820 and 1830. In 1820, Smith finally published his fradulent book of Mormon and formally incorporated his Mormon religion as the "Church of Christ". Both of these monumental events occurred in 1830, and mark the official beginnings of the "official" Mormon religion in America. Incredibly, Smith created the Mormon religion in order to justify the Mormons' belief in slavery and in order to protect slavery in the northern states by making slavery a religious issue, which now had to be protected by the US Constitution, since Mormonism was now a religion.

5. Incredibly, Joseph Smith and his Mormons taught that his new racist Mormon religion would also conquer America, and convert America into their own "Mormon Kingdom of Zion", with Joseph Smith as its new King. Consequently, because of these radical anti-American religious beliefs and because Mormons owned slaves north of the Mason-Dixon line, they were forced out of New York in the winter of 1830. Smith was so angry about this that, after arriving in Ohio, he wrote a prophecy about 9/11, which states that all non-believers would be "burned as to stubble" after September 11, 1831. The actual prophecy written by Smith is shown below:

"For after today cometh the burning, for verily I say tomorrow all the proud and they that do wickedly shall be as stubble; and I will burn them up, for I am the lord of hosts; and I will not spare any that remain in Babylon".

6. Because of slavery, Joseph Smith and his Mormons chose to begin migrating to the state of Missouri, which was a "Northern State", but was also a "slave state" because of the Missouri Compromise of 1820. When Smith and his Mormons began migrating to Missouri in the spring of 1831, Smith and his "main contingent" initially went to Kirtland, Ohio, and he sent another "advance contingent" of Mormons to settle in Missouri, specifically because Missouri was a slave state. The idea was that the main contingent would eventually merge with the Missouri contingent in Missouri, which would become the Church's headquarters. And, it was the job of Smith's Missouri contingent to create suitable Mormon settlements, which would eventually accomodate Smith's main contingent, which was en-route.

7. In 1832, Smith was tarred and feathered in Kirtland for sexual indiscretions with 15-year old Nancy Marinda Johnson. Further, he began operating a bank without obtaining a state banking charter (Kirtland Safety Bank) and he ended up leaving Kirtland in the dead of night after stealing all of the bank's remaining funds in 1838. Additionally, the Mormons still owned slaves in Ohio, and because of this they were visited in 1836 by abolitionist agents of the US government who reminded them that slavery was ONLY allowed south of the Mason Dixon, and not in Ohio.

8. Meanwhile, between 1832 and 1838, the advance contingent of Missouri Mormons began stealing land and property from settlers who had arrived in and settled Missouri prior to the arrival of the Mormons in 1831. And, between 1831 and 1838 this conflict eventually turned into a full-fledged war, which is known today as the "Missouri War".

9. In 1838, Smith and his Ohio contingent fled Ohio in the dead of night, after Smith absconded with the remaining funds of the Kirtland Safety Bank. Smith and his "main contingent" of Mormons headed to Missouri to "join-up" with his "Missouri contingent" of Mormons, which by 1838 were ensconsed in a full-fledged war with the Missouri militia and other non-Mormon Missourians. And, it was on the 4^th of July in 1838 when Smith announced to his newly unified Mormons, “Missouri is the land of your inheritance, which is now the land of your enemies”. During this same reunion Sidney Rigdon, Smith's 2nd in command at the time, incited, “We will unleash a war of extermination against the gentiles of Missouri”. Shortly thereafter, Joseph Smith declared war on Missouri and attacked the Missouri Militia in the battle of "Crooked River".The Missourians attacked the Mormon's "Haun's Mill" settlement in retaliation for these Mormon attacks on "gentile" settlements. Finally, because of the escalating violence Missouri Governor Lilburn Boggs issued an executive order for all Mormons to leave Missouri altogether, and Boggs' executive order referred to Sidney Rigdon's prior mention of the word "extermination".

Today, Mormons who are ignorant of the historical facts ironically refer to Boggs' order as “The Extermination Order” and claim they are "the only people" to ever have an "extermination order" issued against them. This is also a purposeful strategy by Mormosn create the impression they were terribly persecuted and lay guilt upon American who are also ignorant of the truth. The Mormons also fail to take into account the FACT that it was actually Mormon Sidney Ridgon who first referred to a Mormon "war of extermination" against the "gentiles" before the Mormons began attacking gentile settlements. Further, Mormons have continually refused to accept any culpability for stealing the lands of non-Mormon settlers who settled in Missouri prior to their arrival, or acknowledgte the fact that Joseph Smith published a newspaper article in his Mormon Newspaper in Independence, Missouri in 1832 wherein he wrote, "I have consecrated the riches of the gentiles unto my people who are of the House of Isreal.", which essentially was a "green light" by Smith for his Morrmons to steal the lands of the non-Mormon Missourians who had helped them prior to this. During the "Missouri War", the non-Mormons of Missouri even coined the phrase "Vipers on the Heath" to refer to the anti-American activities of the Missouri Mormons who were waging war against them. And, in the 1990's Mormon white supremacists and "Patriots" in Arizona even formed an all-Mormon "Viper Militia" to "protect" America from "its enemies".

10. In 1838, Joseph Smith was arrested for Treason against the United States (the first time), and was placed in jail in Liberty, Missouri where he managed to bribe his jailors and flee to Illinois where he met-up with all of the other Mormons who had been evicted by Boggs' executive order. By 1840, Smith and his Mormons had relocated to, and founded the city of Nauvoo, Illinois, which at the time was larger than the city of Chicago. Smith's arrival with 15,000 Mormons caused the Illinios State Legislators to bend over backwards to accomodate Smith and his Mormons, who they hoped would also provide them with their 15,000 votes. Consequently, vying for the Mormon block votes was the main reason Illinois Congressman Ford and the Illinois legislature awarded Smith and his Mormons with special city charters, the likes of which have never been issued before nor since, and resulted in Ford being election Governor in the next election and Smith Mormon fifedom of Nauvoo, Illinois. Smith was also seething with anger about what had happened in New York, Ohio and Missouri, and a very angry Joseph Smith led a contingent of angry Mormons to Washington DC to seek redress of grievances from the United States for all of the "atrocities", which Smith claimed had been committed against his Mormon people. However, Washington DC dismissed his ridiculous claims as baseless, and Smith became even more angry. In fact, his megalomania began clouding his judgment to such a degree that he went back to Nauvoo and began actively began espousing the complete overthrow of the Federal Government. And, between 1842 and 1844, he:

a. Proclaimed himself "King of Zion", which he claimed held dominion over the United States

b. Appointed Brigham Young as the new Mormon "President of the United States"

c. Appointed other church leaders in his secret "Council of Fifty" as Governors of the various states and territories

d. Began forming his "Nauvoo Legion", which he claimed would be a "100,000 man militia" to be used to overthrow the US Government with military force (this is where all of the resurgent Mormon militias of the 80's and 90's came from, like the Viper Militia and the Michigan Militia)

e. Inducted himself into the US military as "Lieutenant General" even though he had no prior military experience, and began wearing a fake military uniform

f. Began legitimizing polygamy by formally announcing his "doctrine of polygamy"

g. Formally announced his "Doctrine of the Constitution Versus the Law", which taught that Mormonism was the law of the land, which superseded America Law (same concept as "Sharia Law" of Islam, which is where he also borrowed his newly "legitimized" version of Polygamy from)

h. Formally created his new "Melchizedek Priesthood", which made all Mormons superior to "Christians" and made them "not-subject" to the man-made Judeo-Christian laws of America, or the Laws of Moses (10-commandements). Smith's new superior priesthood (superior to the older "Aaronic Priesthood"), made all Mormon males "man-Gods" in their own right who now "held the keys" to circumvent the Christian laws of Moses and the Judeo-Christian laws of America

i. Announced he would run for President of the United States as a means of gaining "legitimate" control of the Federal Government

j. Formed a Masonic lodge in Nauvoo, had all of the members of the Mormon religion's hierarchy become Freemasons and then stole all of the rights, rituals, annointings and symbolism of the Freemasons, bastardized it and made them the rights, rituals, annointings and symbolism of his Mormon religion, which prior to Smith theft of Freemasonry didn't have such a body of ritualism.

Because of everything that happened in Nauvoo, Smith was again arrested for Treason against the United States (2nd time) in 1844, and was placed in jail in Carthage, Illinois. However this time, Smith (along with his brother, Hyrum) was killed by what the Mormons like to refer to as "an angry mob" as Joseph and Hyrum tried to escape from jail after firearms were smuggled to he and his brother by loyal followers. Incidentally, "an angry mob" is defined as everyone in America who is not part of the Mormon cult. This second major conflagration with non-Mormons occurred between 1842 and 1844 and is today known as the "Illinois War". After Smith's death in 1844, Governor Ford issued an executive order for the the Mormons to leave Illinois by the end of 1845.

In fact, The Changing World of Mormonism by Jerald and Sandra Tanner (Chicago: Moody Press, 1981) documents a dark and disturbing portrait of the REAL history of Mormonism and provides shocking glimpse behind the veil of secrecy that covers the Mormon religion today and the secretive "Priesthood holders" who control its inner workings:

"…The fact that Joseph Smith would allow himself to be crowned king shows that he was driven by the idea of gaining power. It is very possible that Smith seriously believed that he would become president and that he would rule as king over the people of the United States. The attempt by Joseph Smith to become president seems to have been a treasonous plot to bring the United States Government under the rule of the priesthood. Klaus J. Hansen observed: "But what if, through a bold stroke, he could capture the United States for the Kingdom? The Council of Fifty thought there might be a chance and nominated the Mormon prophet for the Presidency of the United States." (Dialogue: A Journal of Mormon Thought, Autumn 1966, p.67)

"…Davidson states that Joseph Smith had himself anointed King and Priest ... in a revelation dated 1886 given to President John Taylor, mention is made of Joseph Smith being crowned a king in Nauvoo. Not only was he ordained a king, but the leading members of the Church were assigned governmental responsibilities. Brigham Young was to be president, John Taylor vice president, members of the Church were assigned to represent different states in the house and senate of the United States, and a full cabinet was appointed ("Causes of Mormon Non-Mormon Conflict in Hancock County, Illinois, 1839-1846," Ph.D. dissertation, BYU, 1967, pp.63-65)

"…Joseph Smith's military plans and maneuvers were very disturbing to the non-Mormons who lived around Nauvoo. On July 21, 1841, the anti-Mormon paper, Warsaw Signal reported: "How military these people are becoming! Everything they say or do seems to breathe the spirit of military tactics. Their prophet appears, on all occasions, in his sp[l]endid regimental dress signs his name Lieut. General, and more titles are to be found in the Nauvoo Legion, than any one book on military tactics can produce; ... Truly fighting must, be a part of the creed of these Saints!"

"…One of the most important factors leading to Joseph Smith's death was his interference in politics. On July 15, 1842, this statement appeared in the Sangamo Journal, published at Springfield, Illinois: "We received the Mormons into this state as we did every other sect. Disclosures have shown that the head of that church acts not under the influence of that pure religion which Jesus Christ established upon the earth; and that his vaulting ambition would secure to himself the control of our State elections" (Sangamo Journal, July 15, 1842)

Mormon writer Kenneth W. Godfrey in discussing factors that stirred the conflict in Illinois wrote:
 
“…Antagonism toward the Mormon Prophet was further incited when it was correctly rumored, that he had been ordained 'King over the Immediate House of Israel' by the Council of Fifty... newspapers and tracts repeatedly charged that the Prophet conducted himself like a dictator and that his actions were not only treasonable but a violation of the constitutional principle that church and state should be disassociated. Thus, his kingly ordination only incensed the populace, and his untimely death became even more inevitable

George Miller, who had been a member of the Council of Fifty, recorded in a letter dated June 28, 1855:
 
“…It was further determined in Council that all the elders should set out on missions to all the States to get up an electorial [sic] ticket, and do everything in our power to have Joseph elected president. If we succeeded in making a majority of the voters converts to our faith, and elected Joseph president, in such an event the dominion of the Kingdom would be forever established in the United States; and if not successful, we could fall back on Texas, and be a kingdom notwithstanding.” (Letter by George Miller, as quoted in Joseph Smith and World Government, by Hyrum Andrus, 1963, p.54).

11. After Smith's death, Brigham Young assumed leadership of the Mormon Church and Young decided that his Mormons latest, and 4th migtration would be outside of the United States altogether and into the Mexican Territories, where they would be free to form their own soverign theocratic Mormon nation (called "Deseret"). At the time, the United States' western borders ended at the Illinois border, where Nauvoo was located across from what is now Iowa.

12. However, before Brigham Young would allow his Mormons to leave Nauvoo, Illinois, he required every Mormon leaving the United States with him to pledge "The Mormon Oath of Vengeance against America".

13. By July of 1847, Brigham Young and his Mormons happened to come upon the Great Salt Lake. Young's original plan had been to travel all the way to the Pacific Ocean and settle in what is now California or Oregon. But, thinking the Great Salt Lake was the Pacific Ocean due because of the salinity content of the lake, Young declared, "This is the Place". At this time, Young also claimed almost 1/3 of the land area of the entire continental United States for his new soveriegn nation of Deseret. Young's new threocratic Mormon nation included all of Utah, Arizona, and Nevada, the southern half of California, and parts of Idaho, Colorado, Wyoming and New Mexico. Remember, all of these lands were Mexican lands at the time Young claimed them for Deseret in 1847. Oddly enough, the entire time the Mormons were traveling to Utah, America became embroiled in the "Mexican War" during exacly this same period of time. And, in another bit of irony, the Mexican war ended in February 1848 with the signing of, "The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo", which ceded all of these same Mexican lands to the United States. So, much to the chagrine of Young and his Mormons, they once again found themselves wards of the United States, and Brigham Young was not very happy at all about this turn of events. Comically, in 1849, Brigham Young even led a contingent of Mormons to Washington, DC where they petitioned Congress for Deseret's (approximately 1/3 of the continental US) admission as the next state in the Union, with the same theocratic Mormon Government that was currently in place. Not suprisingly, Congress voted a resounding "No".

14. Between 1849 and 1890, the trouble in the Utah Territory escalated exactly the same way it had escalated in New York, Ohio, Missouri and Illinois. Now, Utah as well was embroiled in a full-fledged Mormon conflagration, just like every other location that the Mormons had ever migrated to. Today, this conflagration is known as the "Utah War" of 1857 and 1858. Things finally came to a head in September of 1857 after Brigham Young ordered the massacre of 120 innocent men, women and children who were traveling through southern Utah on their way to California. This first horrific act of domestic terrorism even occurred on September 11, 1857 in accordance with Smith's 1831 prophecy about 9/11, and is today known as the "Mountain Meadows massacre".

15. On September 15, 1857, Brigham Young formally declared Deseret's complete independence from the United States altogether, and officiall started the "Utah War".

16. In October of 1999, as former Mormon President Gordon Hinckley addressed his Mormon faithful in the Salt Lake Temple at the Church's semi-annual conference, Hinckly said prophetically, "...The almighty judge of the nations, the living God, determined that the times of which the prophets had spoken had arrived. Daniel had forseen a stone, which was cut out of the mountain without hands and which became a great mountain and filled the Earth." For those of you not well versed in secret Mormon theology, Hinckley was quoting the secret Mormon prophecy of, "Daniel's Prophecy of the Rise of the Kingdom of God in the Latter-Days", which teaches that the Mormon Church will conquer America and destroy Christianity.

17. In November of 2001, just weeks after 9/11. Mormon President Gordon Hinckley eerily stated, "...those who observe us say that we are moving into the mainstream of religion. We are not changing. The World's perception of us is changing. We teach the same doctrine." The reader should also be cognizant of the fact that a very angry Joseph Smith (in Kirtland) originally wrote his prophecy about "September 11th" in 1831 after Smith and his Mormons were kicked out of New York in 1830, that as the "Missouri War" escalated after Joseph Smith (in Kirtland) wrote a letter to his military commander in Missouri wherein he stated, "September 11 (1836) is the appointed time for the redemption of Zion" and that on September 11, 1857, Mormons massacred 120 innocent men, women and children traveling through southern Utah on their way to California in an incident that is today known as the Mountain Meadows Massacre.
