Written by Christopher H. Hansen
Dear Sovereign Brother of the LDS faith,
Brother and fellow King, not only in Christ but as a warrior on the front lines against the Beast, for in my slightly updated words from Shakespeare’s Henry the Fifth: For he who fights against the Beast, shall be my brother, be he ne’er so vile, this battle shall gentle his condition and Gentlemen now abed with fear shall hold their manhood cheap while any speaks that fought with Christ within these latter days.
The game is afoot and we are indeed upon the front line. No matter the cost we must be strong and hoist the title of liberty, the Constitution, high for all to see. I know how difficult the fight is, I know for I live beneath the same constant tyrannical financial threats as you, but we cannot faint because our children’s freedom rests in the balance. The Saints in Rome went to face the lions without even hope. We have not only hope but the weapons of the Constitution with which to fight. We cannot let the Beast number us nor can we give of our firstfruits to his abominable blood-sucking agents that live to sap our strength. If an agent is spending time on you, rejoice therefore, just think how much money you are costing those bottom dwelling leeches. And how, if he is spending time on you, can he attach his lips to the lifeblood of some other patriot. If he is spending his time making your life miserable do your best to return the favor. Enjoy the fight for we are all enlisted till the conflict is o’er, happy are we, happy are we; keep a video camera with you and put it in his face if he tries to follow or confront you, seek an IRS administrative disciplinary hearing, apply for restraining orders, file lawsuits, demand protection from your Sheriff assisted by others who support you. Do all you can to legally force that demon of hell back into the spawning pit from whence he crawled. Bring his dark deeds into the light of the Constitution and the public eye. And most importantly, call upon Christ continually to give you the strength to defeat this threat.
Here is what leaders of your church have said about the Constitution:
David O. McKay said:
Governments are the SERVANTS, not the MASTERS of the people. All who love the Constitution of the United States can vow with Thomas Jefferson, who, when president, said, “I have sworn upon the alter of God eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man.”
Jefferson also said:
To preserve our independence, we must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt. We must take our choice between economy and liberty, or profusion and servitude. If we run into such debts, we must be taxed in our meat and drink, in our necessities and in our comforts, in our labors and in our amusements.
If we can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of caring for them, they will be happy. The same prudence which in private life would forbid our paying our money for unexplained projects, forbids it in the disposition of public money. We are endeavoring to reduce the government to the practice of rigid economy to avoid burdening the people and arming the magistrate with a patronage of money which might be used to corrupt the principles of our government...
Quoting again from McKay (“Free Agency... A Divine Gift” 367, 378):
In conclusion, I repeat that no greater immediate responsibility rests upon members of the Church, upon all citizens of the Republic and of neighboring Republics than to protect the freedom vouchsafed by the Constitution of the United States. Let us, by exercising our privileges under the Constitution:
- Preserve our right to worship God according to the dictates of our conscience,
- Preserve the right to work when and where we choose...
- Feel free to plan and to reap without the handicap of bureaucratic interference.
- Devote our time, means, and life if necessary, to hold inviolate those laws which will secure to each individual the free exercise of conscience, the right and control of property, and the protection of life.
Are you one of the few Latter-day Saints that live up to this calling?
Heber J. Grant said:
Let it [the Constitution] be taught in schools, in seminaries, and in colleges. Let it be written in primers, in spelling books, and almanacs. Let it be preached from the pulpit, proclaimed in legislative halls, and enforced in courts of justice. In short, let it become the political religion of the nation.
Apostle Wirthlin just recently, 1995, repeated this admonition.
Harold B. Lee said:
So today is no time for youth to whimper the refrain of the defeated and retire to the fancied security of the regimented state. Today is the day for youth to gird themselves with the armor of peace, having as their weapons "the shield of faith... and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
Spencer W. Kimbal said:
The only way we can keep our freedom is to work at it. Not some of us. All of us. Not some of the time, but all of the time.
Ezra Taft Benson said:
The War that began in heaven is not yet over. The conflict continues on the battlefield of morality. And one of Lucifer’s primary strategies has been to restrict our agency through the power of earthly governments.
Brigham Young said:
I love the government and the Constitution of the United States, but I do not love the damned rascals who administer the government.
Also, Joseph Smith, the founder of the LDS church stated:
The different states, and even Congress itself, have passed many laws diametrically contrary to the Constitution of the United States. ...Shall we be such fools as to be governed by its laws, which are unconstitutional? No!
I, as the Presiding Sovereign of The First Christian Fellowship of Eternal Sovereignty, wholeheartedly agree with all of those statements about the Constitution and fighting for your freedom.
As a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints you, evidently, have the direction and corresponding duty, according to your past and present leaders to defeat the tyranny that now plagues us.
Alma 60:36
Behold I am Moroni, your chief Captain. I seek not for power, but to pull it down I seek not for honor of the world, but for the glory of my God, and the freedom and welfare of my country.
Can you put your name in place of Moroni’s name?
Alma 61:12,13:
We would subject ourselves to the yoke of bondage if it were requisite with the justice of God, or if he should command us so to do. But behold he doth not command us that we shall subject ourselves to our enemies, but that we should put our trust in him, and he will deliver us.
Take a good look at what President Heber J. Grant had to say concerning Roosevelt’s Social Security plan. When ever you think of giving up or becoming a part of the Social Security or Federal Income tax lie read this again. He says that such plans are in violation of the revelations of Jesus Christ. Choose you this day who you will serve!
We have on, at the present time, a great political campaign (1936), and I want to say to the Saints that I hope they will not allow their political affiliations, their regard for political affairs, to cause feelings of ill-will towards one another. I have had some of the most insulting letters that ever came to me, condemning me for not being in favor of the Townsend Plan, and that I must be ignorant of the plan. I am not ignorant of the plan. I have not read every word of it, but I have asked one of my secretaries to read every word of the plan and to give me the important points, and to my mind it is in direct opposition to everything I have quoted from Brigham Young and from the revelations of the Lord. The idea of allowing every man and woman who has reached the age of sixty years and wishes to retire from working to get two hundred dollars a month from the government! There is nothing truer than Brigham Young’s statement, that we should give nothing to people, unless they are not able to work, without requiring them to do something for it...
Let every Latter-day Saint who has a farm, farm it, and not try to borrow money to be paid back by the government. Let every man feel that he is the architect and builder of his own life, and that he proposes to make a success of it by working. “Six days shalt thou labor and do all thy work,” and rest on the seventh. Do not be willing to labor four or five days and then only half labor. Let every Latter-day Saint give value received for everything he gets, whether it be in work, or whatever he does. — CR, October, 1936: 13. President Heber J. Grant
To become a beneficiary of the Social Security System is a violation of Christ’s law and if you do it you embrace the plans of Gadianton just as the “more part of the righteous” had done in Hel. 6:38:
And it came to pass on the other hand, that the Nephites did build them up and support them, beginning at the more wicked part of them, until they had overspread all the land of the Nephites, and had seduced the more part of the righteous until they had come down to believe in their works and partake of their spoils, and to join with them in their secret murders and combinations.
I believe that the former Secretary of Agriculture in the Eisenhower Administration and President of The Church if Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints gave a good description of why Christians of any sect or denomination do not get involved in the battle for liberty. Satan does not want them to because if Christians would put in the effort our Constitution could be saved. Ezra T. Benson (Not Commanded in All Things; and in GFC) said:
The devil knows that if the elders of Israel should ever wake up, they could step forth and help preserve freedom and extend the gospel. Therefore the devil has concentrated, and to a large extent successfully, in neutralizing much of the priesthood. He has reduced them to sleeping giants. His arguments are clever.
Here are a few samples:
First: “We really haven’t received much instruction about freedom,” the devil says...
Second: “You’re too involved in other church work,” says the devil.
Third: “You want to be loved by everyone,” says the devil, “and this freedom battle is so controversial you might be accused of engaging in politics.”...
Fourth: “Wait until it becomes popular to do,” says the devil, “or, at least until everybody in the Church agrees on what should be done.”...
Fifth: “It might hurt your business or your family,” says the devil, “and besides why not let the gentiles save the country? They aren’t as busy as you are.”...
Sixth: “Don’t worry,” says the devil, “the Lord will protect you, and besides the world is so corrupt and heading toward destruction at such a pace that you can’t stop it, so why try?”...
And now as to the last neutralizer that the devil uses most effectively-it is simply this: “Don’t do anything in the fight for freedom until the Church sets up its own specific program to save the Constitution.” This brings us right back to the scripture I opened with today-to those slothful servants who will not do anything until they are “compelled in all things” [D&C 58:26]. Maybe the Lord will never set up a specific church program for the purpose of saving the Constitution. Perhaps if he set one up at this time it might split the Church asunder, and perhaps he does not want that to happen yet for not all the wheat and tares are fully ripe.
The Prophet Joseph Smith declared it will be the elders of Israel who will step forward to help save the Constitution, not the Church. And have we elders been warned? Yes, we have. And have we elders been given the guidelines? Yes indeed, we have. And besides, if the Church should ever inaugurate a program, who do you think would be in the forefront to get it moving? It would not be those who were sitting on the sidelines prior to that time or those who were appeasing the enemy. It would be those choice spirits who, not waiting to be “commanded in all things” [D&C 58:26], used their own free will, the counsel of the prophets, and the Spirit of the Lord as guidelines and who entered the battle “in a good cause.” [D&C 58:27] and brought to pass much righteousness in freedom’s cause...
Brethren, if we had done our homework and were faithful, we could step forward at this time and help save this country. The fact that most of us are unprepared to do it is an indictment we will have to bear. The longer we wait, the heavier the chains, the deeper the blood, the more the persecution, and the less we can carry out our God-given mandate and worldwide mission. The war in heaven is raging on the earth today. Are you being neutralized in the battle?
Jefferson’s prophecy, mentioned above, has come to fruition and our constitutional government, founded upon Christian principles, has become corrupt. So corrupt in fact that the government leaders and bankers have become an oligarchy of tyranny and servants of the Beast to rule over us in an attempt to make us Satan’s slaves. Christ has not commanded us to be in bondage to the IRS or the Social Security System or any government. He has commanded just the opposite, that we should fight against any tyranny and anything that abrogates the Constitution. Prophets have prophesied of it, Christ has commanded it. Let us all press on in the work of the Lord.
