10 Years' Probation

GoSanAngelo reported today that Wendell Nielsen was sentenced to 10 years' probation for his crime of pure felony adult bigamy.  The sentence was the result of a no-contest plea.

While the Kody Brown family and the Utah AG's office joust over whether or not Utah's polygamists currently live in fear of the threat of prosecution for sleeping with more than one partner, Texas has gone all in and bet the farm.

Wendell Nielsen's only crime is having slept with more than one girl.  Texas is obviously pressing this prosecution and conviction because Nielsen is the only man in Texas EVER TO HAVE SLEPT with more than one woman.  Texas needs to make an example out of him to keep the state pure and unsullied.

I guess I should start calling for donations to pay for the lawyers who must needs take this case to an appeals court.  Texas gained notoriety when (through the Lawrence case [June,2003]) it single-handedly secured the permanent decriminalization of gay sex (and all other private consenting-adult sex, for that matter).  Texas must be bucking to get religious polygamy re-affirmed as a practice fully protected already by the Lawrence decision.

You cannot go to an American court and complain about a bad law unless you have been threatened or harmed by it.  Case in point.

I guess I still wonder what probation means to Wendell.  Will the probation officer routinely inquire as to whether he has confined his sleeping regimen to the bed of just one of his ladies, or whether he has maintained his customary rotation?  If he is caught with two different ladies in a six-month time window, will Barbie throw him and the equally-guilty ladies in the slammer?

Only in America !!!!!!!!!!!!  Someone should tell Hugh Hefner to steer clear of Texas.

Anteaters and Evolution

Last night I watched a science channel show.  It featured the (Xenarthra) anteaters of Brazil.  The show followed a female anteater and presented amazing film of this weird creature clawing open termite mounds and catching termites with its long, sticky tongue.

Of course, this documentary, like many of its kind, was vigorously preaching the concepts of evolution, even going so far as to say that the Brazilian anteater "co-evolved" with the termites it eats.

The anteater's jaw is fused.  It cannot properly chew.  Its jaw is so long that it acts more like a suction tube.  If it doesn't suck down 30,000 termites a day, it will die of starvation.  The narrator in the documentary explained with great confidence that this creature's ant-eating mechanism evolved over "millions of years" to aid it in eating termites.

My question is this - during the first part of those millions of years, while the mouth and jaw were not yet fully "evolved", how the hell did it eat anything?  Did the termites just run up and climb into its mouth out of compassion for its sorry, underdeveloped snout?  Did the anteater's ancestors sit around thinking - "Let's not eat worms or mice or anything else.  Let's let our jaws fuse together so that we can't chew anything.  Let's patiently wait a couple more million years until our snouts are useless for anything other than suctioning out termites, then we will be able to finally eat."?

????????????

Critical Mass

You know me - the cogs in my brain are ever whirring around, trying to make sense of a nonsensical world.  I have been wondering about the FLDS dilemma.  I know (from what I've read) that when someone in the FLDS world realizes that Warren is a deviant child-molester, then that someone must immediately be cut off from the 10,000-member congregation.  I understand also that that person's wives and kids must then be assigned to a different family - a family that is still under the ether.

A mathematician might be able to figure this out better than me, but it seems that this process of realization will follow a certain graph, most likely an exponential one.  At first, one girl will flee her church captors, and her family will have to deal with the mysteries and unanswered questions.  "Where were you, dear?  Why don't you want to wait for uncle Warren?  Why are you angry with him?  What did he do to you that is causing you so much trauma?"

Most likely at least one set of family members will recognize the signs and come face to face with the abuse and treachery.  If that family has the courage, it will face the music and accept the instant excommunication and ostracism.  Let's fast-forward a little into the future and see how, pretty soon, a bunch of families will wake up and accept the terrible reality.  Perhaps some will even stand up to Warren's brother and his goons and begin to propagate the awful discovery to their fellow faithful.  After all, how many families can you reassign before there is no one left to take them all in?

At what number is critical mass achieved? - 1,000,  - -  5,000?  The FLDS people are very obedient.  They prefer to operate as a collective.  When a goodly fraction of that collective is made aware of Warren's perversions and the degradation of their virtuous daughters, will they finally revolt and throw off the tyranny of the man behind the curtain?  Whither will he run, and will he get there before law enforcement gets to him?  I was never good at equations, especially when they entail a humanitarian crisis of such unthinkable proportions.

Your math is as good as mine.

On a similar note, this situation reminds me of a skit I saw recently from Monty Python's Flying Circus -  
The Funniest Joke In The World.


The idea was that when a person happened upon this particular joke, it contained such lethal material that the reader instantly died - BRILLIANT !!!!!!!!

Escape From What?

A few years ago, Carolyin Jessop co-wrote a book titled ESCAPE.  I think hers was more of a philosophical escape than anything else.  Jessop received a college education and ran a business away from the twin towns.  It would be more accurate to say that she left her religion and ran off with her kids.  In her book there is much information which would be better described as tabloid entertainment than factual narrative.

Last week, a young woman who is alleged to have been one of Warren Jeffs' wives, ran from her previous residence and sought refuge.  She reportedly sought protection with the family of one of the men who left the FLDS fold (under Lyle Jeffs) when he learned of Warren's molestation of his own 12-year-old girl partners.

So I have a question.  I know Warren had more wives than one. Who knows - maybe 100?  He was incarcerated over five years ago (August, 2006).  Presumably, those scores of wives (ranging from 12 to 92) must have been housed somewhere.  Recent photos show dozens of these very young wives all together in pastel prairie dresses.  I can imagine that Warren didn't want anybody else messing with them while he was away awaiting his miraculous liberation.  So where did they all get put?  Were they all together, or were they grouped in several locations?  Were they free to speak to the media?  NO.  Were they free to mingle with other community members and reveal their group sex party experiences?  I don't think so. 

This latest escapee appears to have had to go to extreme lengths to get free.  Why?  Was she being detained against her will - or, worse still - was she being compulsorily medicated to facilitate the restraint?  I don't know.  Where are the other young sister wives of hers?  Presumably, they are all still being concealed/confined in some way.  Maybe they get to sew and sing hymns, or even study the writings of Prophet Warren S. Jeffs.  Do they go to school?  NAHH!  Are they free to go into town or drive around, or even talk to their chums on the cell-phone?  I bet not.  Do they know what a computer is?  Would they even know what to think or do if they were to be liberated?

Has there been more than one who has fled this detention situation?  Do the other ninety-nine want to flee also, but cannot?  Can they escape and, if so, escape from what? 

If they do escape, what tales will they tell?  I can think of more than a few entities who are itching to get their hands on them.  How healthy would that be?

America is Finished !!!

I watched a YouTube video today that gave me the convincing I finally needed that America is finished.

A civil rights proponent (U.S. Congressman) attended a rally organized by the Occupy Atlanta/(Wall Street) mob.  He was scheduled to address the zombies in attendance but was turned away.  Yours truly is at least as supportive of the eradication of the Federal Reserve banking system as are these hippie youths.  Sadly, these robots appear to have had their brains removed.  Watch and shudder!

Repo' Time

In an interview today, British MP, Daniel Hannan, predicted that Greece will default in a month or so.  Hannan is a brilliant economist and political thinker who is willing to say what many others fear to.  For an example of Hannan's vigorous denunciation of central banks, read his article More Money Printing.

I want to ask what will happen when Greece defaults.  My guess is that in order to get all that loan money (that it cannot repay), it was required to put up the land area (surface and mineral) as collateral to the bank to secure the loans.  You should know this story by now.

The banks have fancy, official-sounding names like - International Monetary Fund or Inter-European Redevelopment Bank, but you and I both know that these central national banks and central international banks are OWNED by somebody. Yes, owned by people like Kuhn, Loeb, Schiff, Rothschild, Lazard, and others.  You rarely see these characters, but they still exist, and they still own the big banks, and the big banks are rapidly gobbling up all the small banks.  Remember that what they give/lend to the people is paper or electronic (debit card) money.  Remember that what they take in exchange is paper money with interest, and then when that runs out, they take the gold, silver and land.

It is important to remember that the Bolshevik revolution in Russia in 1917 was a repossession.  Russia had been dragged into a century of wars with its neighbors, borrowing billions from the Dutch and French banks to pay the soldiers.  Unable to pay principal or interest, Russia watched the banks send in their agents (Trotsky, Stalin, Lenin, Peter Hammer, Virl Schultz, and Herbert Walker Bush) to carry out the foreclosure.  Time to repo the collateral.  That couldn't be done without wiping out the royal family (so that it wouldn't rise up later and repudiate the creditor).  The thinking at the time was that an enslaved, communist country would be a better credit risk.

In Russia the creditors seized the country through violence and by installing a new regime that would do their bidding.  This has always been their vision for the whole world.  It's hard for them to repossess your car if you are still driving it.

Greece will go under.  It CANNOT keep up with its financial obligations.  It never could.  Through liberal, progressive socialism, the government's financial obligations were ratcheted ever upwards until they could NEVER be satisfied.  So now what?

There is only one pathway.  The creditor bank must install its own agents to govern the newly-liquidated country.  This way, it can completely control where ALL the resources are allocated.  By fomenting unrest and stirring up public riots, the bank can solidify the popular disillusionment with the old leaders, thus smoothing the transition to the new tyrannical rulers (see Egypt).

Problem is - Italy and Spain are not far behind.  It's all been prophesied.  The Mediterraneans and the Europeans are not uncomfortable with the veiled oppression of democratic socialism (having cowered under it for centuries).  When all of Europe's economies are crippled, the people will acquiesce relatively peaceably.  Not so, here Stateside.  Pick your poison, I guess.

It's a bit like the atheism/evolution squabble.  If you think humans came from tadpoles, and God is a fantasy, then the idea that He holds allodial title to this planet is laughable.  In my view, I am His kid, and I walk this orb with His permission.  The rodent devils who have raped and plundered it are in for a surprise more irksome than the repo-man.  Strange that the LDS Church is so silent in this period of intense prophetic fulfillment.

A Prophecy

BREAKING NEWS  _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 

Esteemed Senior Apostle, Boyd K. Packer, of the LDS Church's Council of the Twelve announced a prophecy yesterday during the Church's semi-annual General Conference.  Here is some of what the Salt Lake Tribune quoted - -

"The end is not near," senior LDS apostle Boyd K. Packer said Saturday.

Today’s youths can look forward to "getting married, having a family, seeing your children and grandchildren, maybe even great-grandchildren," Packer told more than 20,000 Mormons gathered in the giant LDS Conference Center in downtown Salt Lake City.

This is monumental.  Church leaders (who virtually never claim any specific revelations from God) have made very few prophecies in recent decades.  This is a rather remarkable development. Mormon faithful will fawn over this surprising prediction.  Depending on how old you are, you can presume that Packer is envisioning the "end" coming about in approximately 65 years.  Who knew???  Gosh, I figured that the mere re-election of Obama would single-handedly cause the world to break in half . . . . .

The gratifying element in this prophetic surprise is that we can now all relax, right?  What better way to lull the already wayward saints into lethargic complacency.  It's kind of like the "All is well in Zion" reassurances. I'm not completely sure what Packer is alluding to when he refers to "the 'end'" (being decades away).  I rather think of the Millennium as a beginning.  It certainly won't terminate our Earth.  It will, however, put an end to much iniquity and the smooth sayings of false prophets.  Of the people of this day, Isaiah (in Chapter 30) said, --

9. That this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of the Lord: 

10. Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits:

Jeremiah agreed, prophesying (in Chapter 23), --

16. Thus saith the Lord of hosts, Hearken not unto the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you: they make you vain: they speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the Lord. 

17.  They say still unto them that despise me, The Lord hath said, Ye shall have peace; and they say unto every one that walketh after the imagination of his own heart, No evil shall come upon you.

18. For who hath stood in the counsel of the Lord, and hath perceived and heard his word? who hath marked his word, and heard it? 

19. Behold, a whirlwind of the Lord is gone forth in fury, even a grievous whirlwind: it shall fall grievously upon the head of the wicked.

I am truly offended that this guy would be so pompous and disingenuous as to try to get us to believe that he has recently gained some special, insider knowledge, while at the same time he fails to quote the verbatim words of God to support such a prophecy.  I will give his senility the benefit of the doubt.  I am more dismayed that naive Mormons everywhere will gobble this up as a divine proclamation and then not "trim" their "lamps".

Equally galling was the renewed repudiation of polygamists (and fundamentalist Mormons) by Elder Russell Ballard.  "They are", he says, "not affiliated with the Church" (other than having founded it [and the Salt Lake Valley], I guess).

In closing, let me comment that today's announcement of the construction of two new temples in Africa (Republic of the Congo, and South Africa), will hopefully not be followed by an announcement of their likely premature closing (as was the case with the Nigeria temple).

"And others will he pacify, and lull them away into carnal security, that they will say: All is well in Zion; yea, Zion prospereth, all is well--and thus the devil cheateth their souls, and leadeth them away carefully down to hell." (2 Nephi 28:21)
