My Position on the 2016 Presidential Election Part 1: The Control of “The Establishment”

They are Already “In Control”

A major purpose of the Book of Mormon is to warn us of the conspiring individuals and organizations that will seek power and gain, and to destroy the freedom of all lands. The effort is directed and inspired by Satan himself. This is much, much bigger than Hillary Clinton and corrupt career politicians.

Mormon and Moroni both saw us in vision. Mormon said, “I speak unto you as if ye were present, and yet ye are not. But behold, Jesus Christ hath shown you unto me, and I know your doing” (Mormon 8:25). They saw EXACTLY what the political climate would be like in our day. I believe they, unfortunately for them, even became aware of this specific election and were aware of the situation we currently find ourselves in. They warned us of the secret combination that would surely be influencing the highest levels of our government and the single way we could overcome them:

And whatsoever nation shall uphold such secret combinations, to get power and gain, until they shall spread over the nation, behold, they shall be destroyed; for the Lord will not suffer that the blood of his saints, which shall be shed by them, shall always cry unto him from the ground for vengeance upon them and yet he avenge them not. Wherefore, O ye Gentiles, it is wisdom in God that these things should be shown unto you, that thereby ye may repent of your sins, and suffer not that these murderous combinations shall get above you, which are built up to get power and gain—and the work, yea, even the work of destruction come upon you, yea, even the sword of the justice of the Eternal God shall fall upon you, to your overthrow and destruction if ye shall suffer these things to be. Wherefore, the Lord commandeth you, when ye shall see these things come among you that ye shall awake to a sense of your awful situation, because of this secret combination which shall be among you…. For it cometh to pass that whoso buildeth it up seeketh to overthrow the freedom of all lands, nations, and countries; and it bringeth to pass the destruction of all people, for it is built up by the devil, who is the father of all lies; even that same liar who beguiled our first parents, yea, even that same liar who hath caused man to commit murder from the beginning…

(Ether 8:22-25).

The way to overcome this secret combination is, first and foremost, to repent of our sins. And this isn’t optional. It is literally the only way to pull off this miracle. This justifies heaven’s intervention in our behalf. I’ll speak more on this later.

The secret combinations are already in control. President Benson said:

I testify that wickedness is rapidly expanding in every segment of our society. It is more highly organized, more cleverly disguised, and more powerfully promoted than ever before. 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.

(“I Testify,” General Conference, October 1988)

This secret combination is much bigger than Hillary or Obama or any other crooked career politician. This is a massive network of conspiring individuals and organizations that would be impossible to overthrow without God’s intervention. Joseph Fielding Smith said:

Satan has control now. No matter where you look, he is in control, even in our own land. He is guiding the governments as far as the Lord will permit him. That is why there is so much strife, turmoil, confusion all over the earth. One master mind is governing the nations. It is not the President of the United States… it is not the king or government of England or any other land; it is Satan himself.

(Doctrines of Salvation, Vol. 3, pp.314-315)

I will refrain from beating this point to death. Let me know if any of you want more on this topic. Three prophetic witnesses should be sufficient for those of us who are members of the church.

I believe that the condition of the land is determined by the apathy of the priesthood. I have recently come across a quote supporting that principle, and I’ll upload it as soon as I can find it again.

We must accept the fact that this secret combination has already gained nearly total control, or else we will waste our energy and time and resources fighting an impossible battle. There is hope, but not if we keep trying to save ourselves. It simply will not work.

So What and Who is the Establishment?

I’ve heard the phrase “The Establishment” used in a lot of ways. Some use it to simultaneously describe both career politicians in general and the actual conspiracies themselves. While many career politicians likely have ties to the combinations, we shouldn’t automatically lump them into the same group. I’ve personally at least one federal politician who has been in Congress longer than he hasn’t, and I believe he actually thinks that he is doing what is right. As a member of the church, he is very aware of the fact combinations exist but doesn’t believe he has any affiliation with them. I may be wrong in that particular case, but to be fair, I do not automatically group them together. To me, “The Establishment” is really this secret combination. Composed of several different organizations and countless individuals, Lucifer directs their efforts towards virtually the same end goals. Some have literally made secret oaths with him (Moses 5:29-33, 47-51; Ether 8:15-22) while others advocate policies and causes and engage in political relationships with good intentions but are simply deceived. This deception occurs within individuals of all faiths. It is quite easy for Satan to accomplish this because we have virtually ceased teaching true, unrevised American history or the Constitution from the viewpoint of God and its framers.

I’ll briefly mention just some of the groups I consider to be key players in this master plan:

• The Rothschild Family
• Henry Kissenger
• The Trilateral Commission
• The Bilderberg Group
• The Council on Foreign Relations

And many, many more.

I won’t spend any time here on evidences for this claim. Reach out to me if you are interested in participating in a seminar on this material.

The 25th Amendment

The 25th amendment makes possible and provides great incentive for these organizations to pull a presidential coup d’état where the president is either forced to resign or he is assassinated or the VP and a majority of the cabinet deems the President incapable of service and the VP then replaces the President. This gets “their guy” into the Presidency. This has happened before. I’ll write more about the Richard Nixon resignation and other elections another time. Just know this is possible and is a sinister tool in their belt. The secret combination will always try to place one of their own as the VP for any candidate.

The first two times Reagan ran for office, he was crushed. He said that after these two races he learned not to refuse the Establishment’s “recommendation” of who should be his running mate. He was told that if he wanted a chance the third time around he needed to accept the establishment’s George H. W. Bush as his running mate. If he did not accept that “recommendation,” the establishment-controlled media would destroy his campaign. But he also knew that by accepting the establishment placement as his running mate it would be “placing a nail in [his] own coffin” because his life would be in grave danger if he was elected and then didn’t comply with the establishment’s will, which he had every intention of resisting. He had to make a choice. He could refuse the VP placement and lose the election, or he could accept and win. If he won, then he could either comply and maintain his position by not “getting in the way,” or he could fight against them at the peril of his own life. There were multiple assassination plots made against Reagan, and one of them is known about publicly- the John Hinckley Jr. assassination attempt. Now, I actually don’t believe John was a “hit man” for the establishment. He was associated with a bizarre organization and was angry when Reagan exposed them. However, I do know that Reagan resisted the establishment after he got in with their VP placement and they did try to remove him via other assassination attempts. I believe that because Reagan was a good, wise, and honest man, God protected him.

Trump and the “Establishment”

Even assuming that Trump really was “anti-establishment” as so many believe he is, how will he survive? I do not believe that Trump is a good, wise, or honest man. Therefore, I do not believe that God would protect him were he to resist the establishment. However, I do not believe Trump is as anti-establishment as he leads us to believe.

Mike Pence is a globalist and was Kissinger’s VP “suggestion” to Trump. Trump is way too comfortable with Henry Kissinger for my taste. I believe that Mike Pence is the “Establishment” backup if Trump doesn’t cooperate. They would use the 25th amendment opportunity to pull the coup. However, it seems like Trump isn’t as stubborn as he sounds. He proudly told us who some of his “best people” are for political advice, and some of them are the same people Hillary goes to for advice at the CFR. Trump has no experience with foreign policy, or even domestic policy for that matter, so he would be relying heavily on advice from these crooks.

While I do believe Trump is a corrupt man, I don’t believe Trump is super deep in the establishment conspiracy. Honestly, I don’t even think he’s smart enough, even with all his “yuge” words. However, I believe they are willing to work through him since their other preferences weren’t popular enough in the Republican Party. But we can have full confidence that because of the infiltration this conspiracy has in the government, Trump will certainly get “hit” if he misbehaves.

More of my thoughts on Trump coming soon. Please don’t skip ahead.
