SALT LAKE CITY— A pattern of long-term and ongoing problems inside the regional headquarters of the FBIin Salt Lake City could have catastrophic consequences to national security, sources connected to the FBI say.
Nearly a dozen self-described whistleblowers — including those with strong ties to the FBI’s Salt Lake field office— have come forward to expose potentially serious security breaches, including the removal of classified documents from the office contrary to strict FBI protocol.
“It’s a huge deal,” one FBI source said. “We’re talking about the pinnacle of law enforcement. And they’ve got corruption inside their own office.”
“The actions that Salt Lake City is taking definitely could jeopardize national security,” another FBI source said.
Concerns over security protocol, records access
These whistleblowers were interviewed as part of a yearlong investigation by KSL News, which was able to corroborate much of what each source reported by conducting individual interviews without the knowledge of other sources. These individuals spoke on the condition that their identities be protected.
Illega Aliens ****
Illegal immigrants steal from the taxpayers and need to be departed for being here as criminals and illegally. The theft of identities is a million dollar industry by illegal aliens as reported in a previous Salt Lake Tribune. One crime (lie) leads to another as evident in this article. All those guilty of breaking the law (illegal women and state workers) should be held responsible and pay the consequence!
"Saving" others is of Lucifer who desires perfection through control for the glory (think LDS leader's control of illegal immigrants for members and tithing).
Free agency with consequences for bad choices is of God (tough love) which allows growth of responsible, law-abiding citizens who think for themselves as guided by the Spirit of God as they seek after truth.
HERE'S THE LINK:
Barrack Hussain Obama was a WIMP and proved to be indecisive when the behind-the-scene political manuevers are revealed. That Obama takes credit for the attack, since it was successful, is laughable because he was following the guidance of Jarrett to be passive due to possible harm to Muslims. If you haven't researched this issue, this link provides interesting insight. Don't critique based on ignorance. Use your intelligence to research for truth.
*******
You're right, "you don't know what you don't know" and I know what I know due to spiritual confirmations (often witnessed by others). So we can just agree to disagree. Why waste posting space just to bash?
Very low-class to call people names, be condescending ("hun" and "henotheist"), tell them to shut-up, etc. when they don't agree with your views, but very tempting, I'll admit.
FYI, I was also raised in a study-oriented household, hold several degrees (just stating the facts), and enjoy researching and finding out the truth without limiting perspectives to gain a clear picture without prejudicial views.
Some histories afford more accuracy than others and not all "mythologies" can be entirely discounted. It does take effort to discern the truth. I'm not a blind, ignorant Mormon or an anti-Mormon. I'm a truth seeker for God who tells the truth whether you like it or not.
FYI, I'm definitely NOT a henotheist as I believe in ONLY ONE God which is Jesus Christ whose Spirit remained in heaven as the Eternal Father (based on a profound NDE preceded by a mother's three prophetic dreams and spiritual experiences). "I and my Father are one" and "When you have seen me, you have seen the Father" are thus simply explained.
These clear teachings also explains Jesus' frustration over the ignorance of Peter when Peter asked to see the Father
"...shortly before Jesus is arrested he tells his disciples that “If you really knew me you would know my Father as well. From now on you do know him and have seen him.”
(John. 14:7)
But Philip's response again shows a lack of faith when he asks “Lord show us the Father and that will be enough for us.” Jesus sternly rebukes him and says “Philip, don’t you know me, even after I have been with you for such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father.”
(Jn. 14:8-9)
Lorenzo Snow's proclamation that men can become Gods was a fabricated and false "revelation" same with his fabricated "vision" on tithing based on the LDS church' need and now greed. Does God spend the money or do incredibly fallible, evil "wolves in sheep's cothing" for "great and spacious buildings" and prestige? Not a conspiracy here, just the facts. The law of tithing is a lesser law and giving a tenth can be done as spiritually directed rather than to "Sadducees and Pharisees" of controlling religions. No one buys their way into heaven.
Do not define others when you are ignorant. I write because I have much to say of importance to those who seek truth. Just ignore my posts!
Good luck cleaning your windows. . .as everyone needs to do.
***Ann Eliza Young, One Woman Author (1875, "The 19th Wife: Life of Bondage"), Lecturer that Caused Polygamy to be ILLEGAL in the United States***
Excerpt of a MUST READ historical WITNESSED account of true history of Utah under the dictatorship of Brigham Young.
Ann Eliza Young described the fate of apostates in the following description of what really went on in Zion akin to the Blood Atonement taught over the pulpit by Brigham Young and Jedidiah Grant, etc.
Ah , poor fellow; killed by the Indians,” said all his friends; but Brigham Young and Bill Hickman or “Port” Rockwell new better” (Young, p. 161)
“The Mormon soldiers—commonly called “The Battalion” – sent all their pay to their families, to the care of Brigham Young, and he cared for it so well that the poor families never received it. John D. Lee brought the money which was collected from the soldiers, amounting to several thousand dollars, and gave it to Brigham. The families of these soldiers were, many of them, nearly starving, and all of them were very poor, needing sadly the money that their husbands had sent them;…and if a soldier’s wife ventured to ask him (BY) for anything, …she was rudely repulsed, usually without the slightest excuse for not giving her what was rightfully her own. The men served in the army two years, receiving pay all the time, which Brigham pocketed, and all the time their families lived on the banks of the Missouri in the most squalid poverty, while Brigham came to Salt Lake in the most comfortable manner possible at that early day, and lived on the provisions that he had brought with him, bought with the money that was not his. He lived in what would be called luxuary for the time and place, by literally taking the bread out of the mouths of hundreds of needy women and children.” (Ann Eliza Young, “Wife no 19 or a Life of Bondage” ~1875 witnessed account of the real Utah history~, p. 164-1655)

A Truth Seeker's Testimony!
Well the first thing that came to mind was that long introduction email I wrote way back on December 17th:
Thank you for taking the time to share this information with me. I wish to take the time to briefly tell you about my upbringing and awakening to the truth of the current falling away of the church.
I was born in *** and raised in a fairly standard American Mormon community for my early life. I almost didn't make it to this life as my mother was diagnosed with cancer shortly after I was born and, thankfully, she's still with us today.
Prior to my 8th birthday my family moved out of country to ***, where I was baptized in the *** Ocean and lived on *** all the way through high school. We had a very close knit community within the church there and the *** are some of the most humble and spiritual people in the world. I honestly would not be surprised if the people of those isles are the descendants of Hagoth's people.
My first great spiritual experience happened on the island as well. It was simply the time the spirit confirmed to me the truthfulness of the gospel and of the Book of Mormon. I've never felt that same feeling since but I can neither forget nor deny it to this day. I continued to grow, make mistakes, learn and repent from them, and finished high school, where I went on to attend BYU for one year before entering the mission field in ***.
The second and third of my greatest spiritual experiences happened that same year. The first was when my guardian angel saved my life as I was preparing to cross the street while walking to class; I was just about to step onto the crosswalk when a loud voice shouted, "STOP!" and I felt a hand hold me back by my shoulder. A split second later, a car that had run the red light drove right by where I was about to step. The second happened while in the MTC during a time where I spent over an hour in prayer humbling myself and pouring my heart out to God during a time of great personal trial. I fell asleep feeling relieved but awoke again at about 1:00 in the morning feeling like I was completely bathed in the spirit, so much so that I had the thought that if I'd opened my eyes I would have found myself dead and in heaven. While that wasn't the case, it was the first time in my life where I'd felt completely forgiven and cleansed.
I returned home after *** mission field, rested for a season, and returned to school. While I graduated in April of 2007 (the same ceremony wherein Dick Cheney and Gordon Hinckley spoke), I had seriously come to hate being at BYU by that time for two major reasons: The oppression and control placed on the students and faculty, and the incident wherein a man was fired for a "disloyal act" simply for writing a letter to the editor that stated the student government system was broken and needed fixing. However, I was still able to learn a lot, especially from my D&C professor who wasn't afraid to talk about how the church needed to be cleansed and his teaching us against blind obedience.
After graduation I began to seriously ponder and study several things on my own, the most major of which harkened back to Ezra Taft Benson's reminding the church that it was still under condemnation for its treating lightly the Book of Mormon. I then realized and began to tell people that that same condemnation has never been rescinded to this day. The other major issue I discovered was how the church was supporting the United States' wars of aggression and invading other countries while killing innocent people (the final nail in the coffin of the Nephites, according to Mormon).
The next great step in my awakening came via a man who has become a good friend, even though we have never personally met: Alan "Rock" Waterman who writes the blog Pure Mormonism at http://puremormonism.blogspot.com wherein he reveals just how much the church has altered the gospel message in order to please itself in the eyes of the world. From that blog I found several others who are from several other people abandoning the great and spacious building, even though some of them have fallen into the muddy waters. One such blog is from a man who still believes that plural marriage is ordained by God, but otherwise has some very wonderful insights on the warnings in the Old Testament: Zo-ma-rah at http://zomarah.wordpress.com/ It was through a link in one of the comments sections that I found the http://www.mormonstruth.org/ site and began reading through it just the other day.
I believe that if I had found your site at any earlier time, I would have dismissed it as "apostate" and other labels thrown at those who would stand up against the mantra of blind obedience. The location of where Lehi's family landed, the identity of the anti-Christ, and the true identity of Lucifer are among those things within the articles therein that simply blew me away, but I could not disbelieve them as I kept feeling the prompting of the spirit to keep reading. All I can say is, "Thank you."
Much of my other research deals with how the secret combinations have also infiltrated the highest levels of government (as Moroni warned they would seek to destroy the liberty of all nations) and have been able to trace the infiltrations in this country back to Alexander Hamilton, who wanted the president to be considered a "King" and live in a palace, but his greatest offensive influence is his ideas of a central banking system that led to the creation of the Federal Reserve.
I'm afraid I cannot agree with your assertion that Abraham Lincoln was a good man, as he was responsible for the deaths of 250,000 Americans in his War against Southern Independence and had those who disagreed with him beaten and jailed. His own words state that he would rather deport the slaves back to Africa rather than see them become citizens. If he began to repent prior to his assassination, good for him, but the current myths of Lincoln have all been shattered by the work of Lew Rockwell (of http://www.lewrockwell.com) and Thomas DiLorenzo (who wrote the book, "The Real Lincoln). As for John F. Kennedy, there has been meticulous research that proves he was not killed by Oswald, but he was indeed killed for his work to stop the advances of the modern-day Gadiantons (see Operation Northwoods). However, like the atrocities committed by the church, the atrocities committed by the state are all coming to light thanks to the internet as well. As you have said, the returning of the mountain of the Lord's gold and the church losing its tax exempt status will happen, and that will begin to fulfill the prophesy of the beast eating its own tail as the secret combinations in government will fight against the secret combinations in the church as it seeks more power and money.
I am currently praying for an opportunity to get out of Utah while I work on saving up enough money in order to do so. With Salt Lake City being one of the most wicked cities on earth, there's no doubt in my mind that it will be one of the Lord's primary targets. The only reason I continue to be involved with the facade of what the corporation that pretends to be the Lord's church is because of my job- because I work as a quality assurance engineer. Once I'm able to break away or if the Lord calls me away, I plan to burn my temple recommend, the masonic garments, and submit a letter of resignation while continuing to live the gospel and adhere to the simple truths I've learned and be re-baptized once the church is cleansed.
My greatest fear is having to leave my family (who of course doesn't believe me) behind if the Lord says, "Grab what you can, get in your car, and GO!" before I have everything in order and my current commitments have been resolved. At this point the best I can do is rely on the Lord and manage my affairs to the best of my ability. I am looking forward to receiving my copy of the original Book of Mormon and I also hope to find answers to my questions regarding the original Book of Commandments, as one friend's research raised some interesting questions and evidence regarding tampering with the revelations prior to its original print, found at: http://www.defendingjoseph.com/2010/10/book-of-commandments-vs-doctrine-and.html
My patriarchal blessing identified that I have the gifts of intelligence, a quest for knowledge, and the understanding of the importance of the human soul. I firmly believe that it has been the exercising of those gifts and talents that the Lord has led me to open my eyes and to reach this point. Once again, thank you for adhering to the mission that God has given you so that we all can feel the joy of being true Disciples of Christ. I still have several faults and shortcomings to overcome, but those will be overcome in due time as I continue to study and learn. Once again, thank you. Thank you. Thank you!
Feds slap Zions over billions in illegal money transfers

Two federal agencies have slapped Zions Bank with multimillion-dollar civil penalties for failing to monitor suspicious wire transfers of billions of dollars related to transactions that may have involved drug trafficking and other crimes.
The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency on Friday said it imposed an $8 million penalty against Zions for shortcomings in its anti-money laundering controls — violations of the Bank Secrecy Act and the USA Patriot Act.
The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network — a Treasury Department agency involved in fighting money laundering — also fined Salt Lake City-based Zions $8 million but said the government would be satisfied by a single payment of $8 million.
“The bank is supposed to file suspicious activity reports if they find suspicious activity, and the bank failed to file those on a timely basis,” OCC spokesman Dick DeBuck said.
“The regulations also require the bank to monitor this wire activity, and the bank did not do that, either.”
Zions did not admit or deny the allegations spelled out in separate documents issued by the OCC and the Financial Crimes Network.
In a statement, CEO Scott Anderson said the bank takes “very seriously our obligations to comply with federal laws and regulations, including the Bank Secrecy Act.”
Anderson said Zions has closed down the business unit handling the money transfers and has been cooperating fully with regulators.
“Over the past three years, we have employed considerable resources bankwide to significantly enhance our systems designed to detect and report potentially suspicious activities,” Anderson said in the statement.
The OCC said Zions had developed a “remote deposit capture product” that allowed customers to deposit imaged financial documents such as checks into accounts in Mexico and other countries from “remote” locations, ostensibly in the United States.
The product was marketed to “high-risk customers” in 2006 and 2007 “without sufficient regard to (Bank Secrecy and Patriot Act) compliance implications,” the OCC said.
The Financial Crimes Network said Zions failed to report 132 cases of suspicious activity that represented more than $12.3 billion.
“These suspicious activities involved, among other things, sequentially numbered travelers checks, possible black market peso exchange, transactions involving entities and accounts alleged to have been involved in drug trafficking activities and unusual wire transfers,” the Financial Crimes Network said in a document released Thursday.
The agency said Zions processed money transfers that indicated patterns commonly associated with money-laundering, such as the nature of the business, originators and beneficiaries in “high-risk” locations and lacked any apparent business or legal purpose.
DeBuck said the OCC discovered the violations during examinations of the bank. But an OCC statement said the bank later conducted a voluntary assessment of its “foreign correspondent business” after shutting down the unit. Zions then reported suspicious activity to the agency.
According to the Financial Crimes Network, Zions filed 20 reports of suspicious activity after the review. The transactions involved in the activity totaled $11.5 billion, according to the network.
“With these actions, we are sending another strong message that banks need to be vigilant and ensure that they have effective anti-money laundering programs in place,” John Walsh, the OCC’s acting director, said.
