Secret Combinations

Mitt Romney, Harry Reid and Orrin Hatch need to go back and read church history and scripture. What they are supporting is evil. Mitt Romney should know better. His uncle, Marion G. Romney was a general authority and a out spoken against socialism.

Ether 8:18: Secret combinations are “most abominable and wicked above all” in the sight of God.

Moses 5: 31, 49; Helaman 6:30: Cain founded the first secret combination and became known as Master Mahan.^[2] This title and the oaths and covenants were passed down to subsequent leaders of the secret combination.

Helaman 6:24; Ether 8:14: Members of secret combinations are punished by the combination if they reveal the wickedness of their co-conspirators.

3 Nephi 4:1–5: Gadianton Robbers prefer to plunder rather than working for themselves.

Ezra Taft Benson: I testify that wickedness 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.

Joseph Fielding Smith Jr: 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 Hitler; it is not Mussolini; it is not the king or government of England or any other land; it is Satan himself.

Ezra Taft Benson: The Lord raised up the Founding Fathers. He it was who established the Constitution of this land — the greatest document of freedom ever written. This God-inspired Constitution is not outmoded. It is not an outdated “agrarian document” as some of our would-be statesmen, socialists, and fellow travelers of the godless conspiracy would have us believe. It was the Lord God who established the foundation of this nation; and woe be unto those — members of the Supreme Court and others — who would weaken this foundation.

Ezra Taft Benson: I think it is time for every patriotic American to join with neighbors to study the Constitution and the conspiracy. Subscribe to several good patriotic magazines.

Ezra Taft Benson: The scriptures also tell about our inspired Constitution. If you accept these scriptures, you will automatically reject the counsel of men who depreciate our Constitution. If you use the scriptures as a guide, you know what the Book of Mormon has to say regarding murderous conspiracies in the last day and how we are to awake to our awful situation today (see Ether 8:18–25). I find certain elements in the Church do not like to read the Book of Mormon and Doctrine and Covenants so much — they have too much to say about freedom.

Joseph Smith: Having an opportunity of speaking to General Wilson, I inquired of him why I was thus treated. I told him I was not aware of having done anything worthy of such treatment; that I had always been a supporter of the Constitution and of democracy. His answer was, “I know it, and that is the reason why I want to kill you, or have you killed.”
