Suggested reading


I'd like to suggest some books that I think very accurately inform the reader of our "awful situation", how we got there, who is responsible, and where it is leading us. 


I'll lead off with my favourite books by LDS authors, some more prominent than others, but all, I believe, accurate and informative.


"The Hidden Things of Darkness" by Christopher Bentley (Possibility of a second printing)


"The Naked Capitalist" by W. Cleon Skousen (Out of print)


"Many Are Called But Few Are Chosen", "The Book of Mormon and the Constitution" and "The Great and Abominable Church of the Devil" by H. Verlan Andersen (Out of print, reportedly at request of Church authority)


"An Enemy Hath Done This" by Ezra Taft Benson (May still be available)


"Hiding in Plain Sight" by Ken Bowers (Available from Bonneville Books, www.cedarfort.com)


"Teachings of Ezra Taft Benson"


My favourite books by non-LDS authors are also every it as accurate and informative as the above:


"None Dare Call It Conspiracy" by Gary Allen with Larry Abrams (Can be read on line at http://reactor-core.org/none-dare.html )


"The Creature From Jekyll Island" by G. Edward Griffin (Available from Reality Zone and the John Birch Society)


"F.D.R. - My Exploited Father-In-Law" by Curtis Dall (Out of print)


"Secret Records Revealed", "The Road to Socialism", and "Cover-up, Government Spin or Truth" by Dr. Dennis Cuddy (Still available)


"Shadows of Power" by James Perloff (Still available)


"The Best Enemy Money Can Buy", "National Suicide - Military Aid to the Soviet Union", and most any of the other 18 books written by Antony M. Sutton (Some harder to find than others)


"Minutemen - The Battle To Secure America's Borders" by Jim Gilchrist and Jerome Corsi


"People Along the Way" and "The Invisible Government" by Dan Smoot


I could add lots more to the list, but I think this is enough for now.  I hope others will add to this list.

I'll post here a few things about some of the books I've suggested here and others, with excerpts that should be takes seriously.


The Hidden Things of Darkness - An Exposé of the Enemies of Christ - by Christopher S. Bentley. Email mcbentley@juno.com to purchase.

The author, using the Book of Mormon as a reference, shows that for freedom to be saved, Satan’s hidden works of darkness must be brought to light and exposed for what they are. He demonstrates that a latter day “secret combination” is using a hard core of “Satanocrats” to stamp out freedom in each land where they reside and build up a worldwide government that seeks to enslave mankind. He shows why, if people do not stand together and restore limited Constitutional government, based on God’s laws, the enemies of Christ will yet bring the downfall of our civilization. The book is an excellent disclosure of the evil plans of the enemies of Christ in both the past and in these latter days. The stated purpose of this book “is that it “will ring and continue to ring like a disturbing alarm clock in the minds of many men,” especially to those Elders of Israel who were foreordained, and sent to this earth, to step forward and save the Constitution from its planned destruction, when its destiny hangs by a thread.”

These statements in the book warrant our consideration

“But, while missionary work, temples, and other vital soul saving programs of the Church continue to move forward, Latter-day Saints must stop and ask themselves this one question. What will happen to all of these miraculous developments should the weighty matter of freedom and the Constitution be neglected for very much longer, which makes all of the rest of these things possible?”

“This battle will have to be fought outside the confines of the Church’s organizations. Members will have to seek out non-Church avenues in which to become involved in trying to save the Constitution from destruction. This includes working within the walls of our own homes and within the confines of our own communities”.


*******************************************


From: “F.D.R. My Exploited Father-In-Law” by his one time son-in-law, Curtis B. Dall, 1968

This book is yet another witness to the intent over many years of insider members of the Council on Foreign Relations to control the executive branch and much of the legislative and judicial branches of the US Government in order to increase their wealth and power. Curtis Dall discusses with first hand information the a subject he knew intimately, as the husband of Anna Roosevelt, daughter of FDR. It includes in particular the conspiracies of America's entry into WW1, the League of Nations, the Wall Street crash, WW2, the attempt by certain anti-Nazi Germans to arrange a peace with America and Britain so they could prevent the Soviet conquest of Eastern Europe, and the United Nations, and the events which gave the Soviet Union control over so much additional terretory and population after WW2.

“Dedicated to young Americans – May you benefit from observing how certain shadowy forces contrive to ruthlessly advance their own financial and ideological objectives at your expense. They select, then groom, and ultimately control many of our highest government officials. They plan the wars and through “foreign policy” arrange to set the stage for incidents to inflate hostilities. They overwork the word “peace” to misled you and create a plausible smoke screen in order to conceal their real operations. You can recognize who “they “ are.

“The American people are not reared and trained to become international-minded schemers. As a result, we have become the ready victims of those who have been reared and steeped in that type of training. In addition, as a people, we are too inclined to hedonism, deeply absorbed in a program of pleasure. Toward that end, we are being encouraged and daily “moulded” by our foreign influenced press, radio and TV programs. We are encouraged to become absorbed in the trivial, for obvious reasons, by dedicated world-planners.

“Many of us are prone to feel that our political status, even our freedom and our liberty in the U.S.A. is secure.....

“Let us not fool ourselves. The wealth, freedom and liberty of the American people are being stolen and steadily nibbled away. Today, as easy suckers, we are buying many over-priced, political “benefits”, all paid for, of course, with our own hard-earned money

“We have also been goaded into trying to run the affairs of other nations which yields a fine profit for the world money powers who are in-the-know on credits and markets. Whether you realize it or not, this has all been planned for you in just that way.

“False images and “managed news”, however, will soon lead to the destruction of a free people, if we allow it. “We” means you and me....

“For a long time I felt that F.D.R. had developed many thoughts and ideas that were his own to benefit the country, the U.S.A. But he didn’t. Most of this thoughts, his “political ammunition” as it were, was carefully manufactured for him in advance by the CFR - One-World Money group.” 


********************************************************************


“Hiding in Plain Sight” was written by LDS author Ken Bowers for the purpose of “unmasking how secret combinations operate in the last days”, which it does very effectively. It examines the financial, political, religious and media scams used to deceive us in hiding the actions of the conspiracy that “seeks to overthrow the freedom of all lands, nations, and countries”. Using Holy Scriptures, Conference talk statements, and statements by key players of and opposed to the conspiracy, it warns the reader of the various facets of the conspiracy and suggests how to protect ones self and family against its intended ravages. It is published by Bonneville Books, www.cedarfort.com


Following are a few excerpts from the Introduction to the book.

“...He (Satan) plans to destroy freedom - economic, political, and religious, and to set up in place thereof the greatest, most widespread, and most complete tyranny that has ever oppressed men. He is working under such perfect disguise that many do not recognize either him or his methods.” (The message of the First Presidency to the Church, Conference Report, October 1942)

Satan...has established three kinds of secret combinations to accomplish that task. They are economic combinations, political combinations and religious combinations that all work together.

Unfortunately, history is often slanted to one side and what we learn in school is not necessarily accurate. (***I see that frequently when I substitute for public school history teachers. - RWH)

Do you remember the Punch and Judy shows?....No matter what the script, the puppets sooner or later wind up hitting or battling each other...the puppets were an innocent deception. Each of the two hand puppets were controlled by an invisible person under the stage, one puppet per hand...but no matter what it seemed to be, it was all fiction. The puppets weren’t real, neither the script; and the outcome was carefully orchestrated.....lets pretend that Punch and Judy had different names. For instance, let’s call Punch “Communism” and Jude “The Free World”. Incredible! Or how about this - Punch is “Israel” and Judy is “The Arab World”. Or, Punch is the “Democratic Party” and Judy is the “Republican Party”....this is indeed a radical concept - that there is a ‘person’ who controls many world events, history and even government from the shadows. He creates revolutions and hatred on a global scale. This ‘person’ is Satan, who works through a combination of secret and not-so-secret organizations here on earth to bring into fruition his goal which in a one-world-government....The conspiracy controls the overall direction in which humanity is moving, not our everyday activities. 


****************************************************************


Written by the late H. Verlan Andersen, for several years a 70, "Many Are Called But Few Are Chosen" demonstrates that the words of God's prophets, together with the United States Constitution, which He caused to be established, provide complete guidance on all important political issues and problems, and helps one understand why LDSs and LDGs are the only people who have access to an understanding of the true nature of our "awful situation".

The book is out of print. As of 08/26/2006, Ed Hayes of Chandler, AZ has about 20 copies of the last edition to be ppublished, and will sell them at a reasonable price (I forget how much) indivicually or in obviously limited quantity. Ed can be contacted at provac@amug.org or at edhayes@provacinc.com or at his mobile phone at 602-400-3340 or business phone 800-473-8623


**********************************************************************


An Apostle once wrote about "None Dare Call It Conspiracy": "I wish that every citizen of every country in the free world and every slave behind the Iron Curtain might read this book." It's for free now, on the internet at:  reactor-core.org/none-dare.html


As a Prophet of God in 1988, that same Ezra Taft Benson told us "...Secret combinations lusting for power, gain, and glory are flourishing. A secret combination that seeks to overthrow the freedom of all lands, nations, and countries is increasing its evil influence and control over America and the entire world." 


*********************************************************************


Pat Robertson, in his book "The New World Order", wrote:

"In government policy, the most visible expression of the Establishment is the Council on Foreign Relations and its publication, "Foreign Affairs".... According to a man who had been a member for fifteen years, Rear Admiral Chester Ward, former judge advocate general of the navy from 1956 to 1960, 'This purpose of promoting disarmament and submergence of U.S. sovereignty and national independence into an all-powerful one-world government is the only objective revealed to about 95 percent of 1,551 members (in 1975). There are two other ulterior purposes that CFR influence is being used to promote, but it is improbable that they are known to more than 75 members,..." Pg. 96 & 97

"The CFR is the American branch of a society which originated in England. Internationalist in viewpoint, the CFR, along with the Atlantic Union movement and the Atlantic Council of the United States, believes national boundaries should be obliterated and one-world rule established." Pg. 128 


Elsewhere in the book he wrote: "Further, I do not believe that normal men and women, if left to themselves, would spend a life time to form the world into a unified whole in order to control it after it had been unified. No, impulses of that sort do not spring from the human heart, or for that matter from God's heart. They spring, instead, from the depth of something that is evil, neither well intentioned nor benevolent."

"Such a world government can come together only after the Christian United States is out of the way. After all, the rest of the world can federate any time it wants to, but a vital, economically strong, Christian United States would have at its disposal the spiritual and material force to prohibit a worldwide satanic dictator from winning his battle. With America free and at large, Satan's schemes will at best be only partially successful."

One World Government


I have a question. I understood the prophecies in the Old Testament and Revelation to indicate that a One World Government will happen.

Do you propose that we can stop it from happening? Or just that we should prepare for it and reject it when it does happen?

RE: Suggested reading


Iron and clay are a weak foundation upon which the New World Order will stand.  I give it 3.5 years until Adam Ondi Ahman officially "terminates" all telestial tyranny and the Priesthood keys are returned to Christ.  Then the theocratic government will begin. 


It will be hard to have order when all is "in commotion". We need not fear the NWO. They should fear endowed Elders who can command the very mountains in the name of Jesus Christ and put whole armies to flight.  I think President Hinckley has taught about faith a couple times in the last while.  FAITH IS THE KEY. And faith without works is dead.  Zion must become "terrible".

I'm afraid of the NWO or the first "beast", which I assume, right or wrong, will be a socialist global government.  I'm afraid for how I will cope with it, how my family and friends will cope with it.  Revelation 13:7 tells us: "And it was given to him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them:.."


If you remember the late W. Cleon Skousen, you may recall that he was very active in trying to create awareness of and opposition to loss of American constitutional freedoms and growth of socialist dictatorship in our government.  He was also a perpetual student of prophecies concerning America and Israel.  He was my landlord for a year and a half, so I got well acquainted with him and some of his family.  In late 1998 he gave a talk entitled "What we might expect in the next 25 years".  I transcribed a big part of it, and here is a segment pertinint to our discussion here: 


"Now, beginning with Chapter 13, you have the beast rise up out of the sea, and it was an ugly, gruesome creature. John says that it will set up a world dictatorship, and it will get to a peak of 3 ½ years, and then it will turn on the saints. Now that’s an interesting verse. Verse 7 in Chapter 13. Turn on the saints! Well, I think that means turn on good people, and as a result of that it will be wiped out. John never tells you how it’s wiped out. He says in so you see, they who live by the sword die by the sword and the faith of the saints was vindicated. Well, John, you can’t do that to us. Nephi didn’t give us the details. We thought you would. Well, he’s given you all you need.....So he left out the story...."


Brother Skousen gave me a copy of his notes for the talk.  About this segment he wrote: 


"The first dictatorship increases its power until it dominates the whole earth for 3 ½ years or 42 months. (Rev. 13:5). Then it turns on the saints (Rev. 13:7) and is wiped out. But John never tells us how this is done. His only commentary is Revelation 13:10.


During that talk Brother Skousen stated that he himself is "just a student" of these things, and this was "just my opinion". 


Can we stop it from happening now?  20 - 45+ years ago Presidents McKay, Clark, Benson and as I recall other General Authorities were trying to get LDSs to study the US Constitution, elect people to Congress who would uphold the principles stated in the Declaration of Independence and codified in the Constitution, and get involved in making it happen.  I and others of that generation failed miserably, as evidenced by our present "awful situation".  Compare the congressional voting record of LDS legeislators in Congress now with the Cconstitution and with Ezra Taft Benson's talk "The Proper Role of Government" which can be read at  (http://www.zionsbest.com/proper_role.html) and note how far adrift we have gotten.  Now, instead of paddling our canoe back upstream or even making it to the shore, I believe all we can do now is rig for the safest possible splashdown as we  go over the waterfalls.  And the Church leaders are still pushing preparedness.

Correct, "if ye are prepared ye shall not fear" (D&C 38:30) ... "but shall abide the day" (D&C 45:56-57).  However, do realize that this means being prepared both spiritually (Spirit as guide) and temporally (obeying Prophets' counsel via food storage).

I always figured the first beast is hollywood... or perhaps capitalism, and the pursuit of profits over all other things... or perhaps it's illegal immigration reform... :)

Are (or will) any of you raising teenage daughter? My wife just finished a book called "Reviving Ophelia", by Mary Pipher (http://www.amazon.com/Reviving-Ophelia-Saving-Selves-Adolescent-Girls/dp/1594481881/sr=8-1/qid=1157052913/ref=pd_bbs_1/104-3066165-2150317?ie=UTF8&s=books) It's a very detailed book about how LDS are really doing things well. It's kind of an amusing read, because she takes the perspective of the objective scientists "discovering" that many well structured religious perspectives are helping girls cope and be much better adjusted to the rot of our media drenched world, than many others. It is also a heartbreaking read because it discusses the impact that our culture is having upon the gentle psyches of our Heavenly Father's daughters.


If you want to impact the world positively in terms of politics, I suggest reading something like this more than a bunch of conspiracy mongering books...


Best regards,


--Ray

That's a illusion to heroine addiction and the needles.  Believe me, you want to stay out of that hotel!

Actually, it is the grand allusion of the modern man, who hid behind a mask, who, while life was in the fast lane, bought a stairway to heaven only to find he had too much time on his hands and so took up a strange magic and just couldn't get over it that no picked up that telephone...

And the white night is walking backwards up Salsbury Hill, his heart going boom, boom, boom but when he gets there he knows, if the stores are all closed, he can be on his Mexican Radio rockin the Cassbah.  Thanks for clearing that up for me.  It makes perfect sense now that I'm having some Tomacolatte and walking on sunshine.
