On this episode we look back at the City On Hill Sermon, the covenants associated with it and compare to things found in the Book Of Mormon. Also I present what must have been going through the minds and hearts of the jurors in Kenosha. 

On this episode I dive into the blatant hypocrisy of the Deseret News on an incident ay BYU and ask the question of why homelessness is still bad despite a 600% increase in spending to alleviate the problem.

Ya know most of the time doing this podcast I have to wade through documents and dig to find the truth of what the LDS Church is up to. But every so often they just put it out there. Today is one those days. They have made it really easy. I will breakdown the LDS Church’s latest vaccine enforcement and even tie it back to something that happened in the Book of Mormon. We will also look at a speech that was Given by President Oaks that sounded an awful lot like Neville Chamberlain.

In the past week I have a ton of new subscribers to the podcast. I felt it was important to reintroduce myself and my story and what this podcast is all about to those who are just now beginning to listen. I cover my introduction into Mormonism, how I got involved with fundamentalism, how and why I got behind this microphone and how I discovered my church home. 

For almost two years the government has been telling us that covid will be the end of us unless we bow down to government mandates and swear allegiance to the government. Well make no mistake there is a plague and a scourge in our country. It’s not covid however. The sickness we have is much, much, worse. It seeps into our homes, it creeps into our jobs, and there is no signs that it will end or even slow down. This sickness is the failure of the hearts of all mankind. It’s apathy towards our brothers and sisters. Our hearts are failing us. It’s seen in every segment of our society, not just in this country but through the whole world. Today I want to talk about the “heart failure” the world is experiencing. I want to talk about where it comes from, its symptoms and what we can do to inoculate ourselves from it and what we can do to cure if we find we have it. That and more on this episode of the Mormon Piracy Podcast.

In this episode we talk about the cover up by the LDS Church of the sexual assault of a 14 year old girl at the hands of a young mens president in 2017

In this episode we just go over a little bit of the three interviews in this series. I also show you some "real time" examples on why I think these interviews are needed at this time.

We are at this moment living on the precipice of something that certainly my generation and the generation before mine have never seen. The current administration has told us just this week to expect shortages. Not just for Christmas but also on essential items and even food. The weeks leading up to the pandemic showed us that America is not immune to shortages. This time it’s not covid itself that has caused the issue but the response to Covid by tyrannical government. So let me as you a question. Are you any better off now then you were in the weeks leading up to covid? If not you still have some time to prepare. How much I don’t know but as of today there is still time. I know that it can seem daunting to start but we as Mormons have been forged in hard times and it’s not beyond us to meet this challenge. Today I will be interviewing an expert that will give the basics and then some to help you start or improve on food storage so you can become ready and be a blessing others.

This is part three on our special in becoming self-reliant. Today you will hear audio from an interview I did over a year ago. At that time I had the opportunity to Interview Carolyn. She is a college educated woman on the subject of nutrition and home economics. She has spent the majority of her adult life practicing the thing we talked about. I can personally attest to the wisdom of the things she teaches. I have used them myself and have found them to be helpful in preparing our food storage. As my wife and I implemented the principles Carolynn taught we were amazed at how quickly our food storage grew. If you take to heart these principles and begin to practice them you won’t feel overwhelmed in getting your food storage together.

At this time I want to give the same disclosure I did on the previous episodes. Now since I was an active member of the LDS Church at the time and am not now I have edit out Carolynn’s last name. I did this because I didn’t want any blowback on her from the LDS Church. When I had conducted this interview (over a year ago) she either knew that I was an active member of the LDS Church or the subject of my Church membership wasn’t discussed. So since my views on and membership status in the LDS Church have changed I want to be extremely clear on this issue since she was gracious enough to talk with me. Carolynn does not hold the same views on the LDS Church as I do. To my knowledge as of the date of this recording she is still an active faithful believing member of the LDS Church. The airing of these previous interviews cannot & should not be viewed as an endorsement of my views on Mormonism or the LDS Church by those people I Carolynn.

Now with that here is the third interview of the three part special on leaving Babylon by being self-reliant.

Why is it that we think it can’t happen here? We see it in other parts of the world. Collapsed economies, failed states, civil unrest, natural disaster that leads to hunger and starvation. The United States of America has had an unprecedented time of prosperity the last 100 years. However we can now see cracks in the veneer of our perceived invincibility. The weeks leading up to the pandemic showed us our just how tenuous our day to day life was. Do you remember standing in line to just try and get enough food to get you through the week ahead? The pandemic was not the last time we will see such things. We now have massive disruptions to our supply chain, inflation is at a thirty year high, thanks to silly government decisions business can’t get enough workers to make the goods and services we have grown to take for granted. Our economy seems to be teetering on the brink of recession. How would you and your family make it through? It is said in the scriptures if ye are prepared ye shall not be afraid. My hope is you can take the information from this episode and prepare with knowledge so that you may not fear. We will talk with an expert gardener who will provide more than just beginner information about how you can produce your own food in just the space you already live.

As I mentioned in the last episode this is an interview I had done on my first attempt at a podcast. I almost threw this audio out but the Spirit told me to hang on to it. The reason why is becoming all too apparent. The woman I interviewed is named Beuna. She is an expert gardener and garden shop owner. When I first interviewed her I was astonished at the amount of information she passed along. She gave more than just beginner knowledge. This last spring and summer I tried some of what she talked about and I was amazed that just by using what she talked about how good my own garden came in. I know you can have those same results.

So I have spoken numerous times on this about leaving Babylon or spiting yourself out of the system. However we haven’t really discussed what that looks like or how to do it. On this episode of the podcast that changes. See unlike biblical times Babylon is not a geographical place. This time it is a global system without borders. So as I thought about what is really required to get out of the Babylonian system I cam up with 3 primary ways. Note that I didn’t say this was everything you would need to do but I think the three items I mention will get you quite a ways down the road out of Babylon. These three items are

1.       Your children’s education. If you want your children out of this system you can’t allow the system to perpetuate their values in your children

2.       Food production. On this podcast I have harped on the supply chain woes and inflation for a while. If you could even produce a fraction of the food you eat it could get a good portion of your money out of Babylon and you would be eating food that hasn’t been processed into poison.

3.       The last one is food storage. If you were not reliant on Babylon for your food in a crisis you could cast that system off and be free of their influence.

On this episode of the podcast we will focus on the first one your child's education. I had the opportunity to speak with Hali. She is a wife and a mom who was gracious enough to talk with me about her experience homeschooling her children. I had the opportunity to meet some of her children and they were happy, healthy, well adjusted, bright young people. She shared a ton of valuable information. Ranging on her philosophy in homeschooling to where to find resources for curriculum. I think you as parents will be able to relate to her and be able to get some ideas for your children’s education.

Now in full disclosure. Mormon Piracy is not my first attempt at a podcast. When I was an active member of the LDS Church I tried once before. However that podcast didn’t really take off like this one has. During that first attempt I spoke to three experts on the topics I listed above. After the first podcast attempt failed I almost deleted the audio but the spirit told me to hang on to it. I now know why. So this episode of the podcast was previous interview I did when i had that now defunct podcast. Now since I was an active member of the LDS Church at the time and am not now and I have lost contact info for Hali I have edit out her last name. I did this because I didn’t want any blowback on her from the LDS Church. When I had conducted this interview (over a year ago) she either knew that I was an active member of the LDS Church at that time or it wasn’t brought at all. So since my views on and membership status in the LDS Church have changed I want to be real clear!. Hali does not hold the same views on the LDS Church as I do. To my knowledge as of the date of this recording she still is an active, faithful, believing, member of the LDS Church. The airing of this previous interview cannot & should not be viewed as an endorsement of my views on Mormonism or the LDS Church by her!
