It's obvious, too, that many people in the church still think the Judicial system is fair, honest and for the Constitutional rights of "we the people." More and more proof arises to show the opposite. And when challenged to read Jerome Horowitz's "The Gospel Key To Our True Constitution",
Formerly "The United States Has Two Constitutions" it appears they don't want to know what is actually taking place and continue to defend the blue line and the court system. The blue line is not there to protect and serve, on the contrary, they are there to extort, harass and stomp on the rights of "we the people."

Here is a link to a video of a former police officer and why he quit his job. He tells what is going in in the blue line and is disgusted by it.

In addition to upholding the law, the sheriff is also charged with upholding the supreme law, the Constitution of the United States. The law enforcement powers held by the sheriff supersede those of any agent, officer, elected official or employee from any level of government when in the jurisdiction of the county. The vertical separation of powers in the Constitution makes it clear that the power of the sheriff even supersedes the powers of the President. Obviously, Obama & Co. was oblivious of that and/or chose to ignore it. Furthermore, it is this responsibility that grants a Sheriff the Constitutional authority to check and balance all levels of government within the jurisdiction of the County.

Sheriff Arpaio appears to have been unaware of this, and alienated many good constitutionalists in Maricopa County. I believe it is for this reason that he is not getting the support that I would like to see.

Well said.

In addition to above;

I ran in today to this idea; the concept of shadow governments where a previous ruler can't let go of power. It's interesting that the reasons that Hillary had her private email server people haven't even realized. I wanted to point this out. Both the Clintons and Obama are trying to still run the government under the table.

I wish more people understood that both the Clintons and Obama are puppets beholden to puppet masters that include George Soros and I believe members of the Rockefeller and Rothshild clans. I maintain they are part of that secret combination that Nephi, Moroni, President Benson, President Packer, and a host of others tried to warn Latter-day Saints about. And yes, that murderous combination is continuing to run the government under the table. Members of the LDS Church are the only people I know of on this planet who have been informed by true servants of the Lord (prophets, apostles, etc.) about a secret combination taking over complete control of government. I believe the Lord expected Latter-day Saints to take the lead in doing something about our awful situation brought about by the latter-day gadiantons. I think that over the years certain LDS prophets and apostles gave us all we needed to awake to our awful situation caused by the latter-day gadiantons and take actions to suffer not that they get above us. But too few responded. And now, it seems to me, we are being overcome by Satan. But there are still things we can do to prepare for the events subsequent to the cleansing of America.

It is not within my stewardship to tell anyone else how they should contribute to the protection and restoration of our God-given and unalienable rights that are being stolen from us. But we Latter-day Saints are under a commandment given in Chapter 8 of the Book of Ether, written by Moroni, to awake to an awful situation because of a secret combination which he told us shall be among us. Considerable passages of scripture in the Book of Mormon, especially in the Books of Helaman and 3 Nephi, describe the MO of the ancient secret combinations on this continent as they sought and acquired wealth and control of government, and in so doing deprived people of their God-given and unalienable rights. Finally, Moroni wrote that it is wisdom in God that these things should be shown unto us so that we may "suffer not" that the "murderous combinations" described in the Book of Mormon shall get above us.

I believe that if we read about these things in the Book of Mormon and give heed to events transpiring in the world today, we will see the same things happening today that destroyed both the Jaredite and the Nephite civilizations. And I believe that the Lord will guide our individual actions in response to these things if we sincerely ask for His guidance.

Well you had a good post. Now how do you get everyone else aware of this? Mass public unity and awareness are how you stop it. And then you also have to worry about how they react when they notice that we're noticing them.

If latter-day prophets and apostles could not get more Church members than they did to awake to the secret combinations and oppose their doings, I guess nobody can. And without a good example by LDS voters, what can we expect from the rest of the country ?

I wonder how accurate this quote is from Mosiah Hancock. According to him there would be lots and lots of people fighting for right.

[According to Brother Hancock, the Prophet Joseph Smith told him,] The United States will spend her strength and means warring in foreign lands until other nations will say, “Let’s divide up the lands of the United States,” then the people of the U.S. will unite and swear by the blood of their fore-fathers, that the land shall not be divided. Then the country will go to war, and they will fight until one half of the U.S. army will give up, and the rest will continue to struggle. They will keep on until they are very ragged and discouraged, and almost ready to give up—when the boys from the mountains will rush forth in time to save the American Army from defeat and ruin. And they will say, “Brethren, we are glad you have come; give us men, henceforth, who can talk with God.” Then you will have friends, but you will save the country when its liberty hangs by a hair, as it were. (Life Story of Mosiah Lyman Hancock, 19-20)

Those of you who live in Maricopa County, Arizona are probably well aware by now that former Sheriff Joe Arpaio could be sent to prison for having enforced law Re. illegal immigration. I have sent the following email to President Trump at
https://www.whitehouse.gov/contact#page

Please consider sending a similar email to the President asking that he pardon Sheriff Joe.

"The former Sheriff of Maricopa County in Arizona, Joe Arpaio, while sheriff for more years than I can remember, was very faithful in enforcing law. He is now being in my opinion unjustly held in criminal contempt for having enforced law Re. illegal immigration. It would be a shame for him to have to do time for having enforced law Re. illegal immigration. Please pardon him ASAP so that he will not have to go to prison,

"I have been active in the political arena for over 10 years, and ran for US Congress in 2008. I can assure you that there are many people here in Arizona who support illegal immigration and are working to send the message out that "You don't mess with illegal immigrants". This is wrong. At this point I think you are in the best position to put this situation right."

The supporters of illegal immigration have been very active in doing whatever they can to see that Sheriff does time. I think Sheriff Joe deserves support from those of us who appreciate his efforts to reduce illegal immigration.

“I am seriously considering a pardon for Sheriff Arpaio,” Trump stated on Sunday. “He has done a lot in the fight against illegal immigration. He’s a great American patriot and I hate to see what has happened to him.”
Trump also indicated that he will likely make a decision on the Arpaio pardon in the next few days.

The 85-year-old retired officer was found guilty on July 31 of misdemeanor contempt of court from his time in office when he continued to back enforcement efforts against illegal immigrants in Maricopa County, Arizona.
He could face up to six months in jail for that charge, although he has not yet been sentenced.

“Is there anyone in local law enforcement who has done more to crack down on illegal immigration than Sheriff Joe?” Trump said, according to Fox. “He has protected people from crimes and saved lives. He doesn’t deserve to be treated this way.”
Word of the president’s possible pardon quickly reached the tough but aging former cop. “Is there anyone in local law enforcement who has done more to crack down on illegal immigration than Sheriff Joe?” Trump said, according to Fox. “He has protected people from crimes and saved lives.

Word of the president’s possible pardon quickly reached the tough but aging former cop.

“I am happy he understands the case,” Arpaio said to Fox News. “I would accept the pardon because I am 100 percent not guilty.”

It’s likely that a potential pardon from Trump would throw open-border advocates into a tizzy, and demonstrations in Arizona and elsewhere are not out of the question.

When you boil it all down, however, Sheriff Joe was basically hauled into court for doing his sworn duty: enforcing the laws of his state and the nation.

It seems bizarre that a law enforcement officer is being punished for doing exactly what his job title states.
Arpaio may be controversial, but he believed in protecting the citizens of his state from the chaos of a wild border… and if Trump decides to take action, Sheriff Joe might be getting the last laugh."

I expect many open-border advocates will go into a tizzy, and there may be demonstrations in Arizona. I would expect that from many recent immigrants from Latin America and from business people who thrive on the cheaper labour of illegal immigrants. Also, my congressional representative is Kyrsten Sinema and our senators John McCain and Jeff Flake are supportive of illegal immigration and amnesty, as are some of our state legislators. And I have read that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has quietly transported illegal immigrants from the Mexican border to Phoenix and released them without proper processing or issuing court appearance documents. But what bothers me greatly are the many LDS people, especially bishops and stake presidents, who have been actively supporting illegal immigration.

It would be unwise for Trump to pardon Arpaio on the occasion of the rally in Phoenix. It could well provoke a riot.

I expect a serious effort to nullify Sheriff Arpaio's pardon. Some of the pro-illegal elements here in Arizona are desperate to see Arpaio in jail not only for retribution, but also to send the message that you just don't mess with illegal immigrants. I expect they will be looking at other ways to "get" him.

Published August 25, 2017 Fox News


President Trump granted a pardon to Joe Arpaio, the former sheriff of Maricopa County, Ariz., on Friday.

Arpaio, 85, was recently found guilty of criminal contempt for defying a judge's order to stop traffic patrols that allegedly targeted immigrants.

He had been charged with misdemeanor contempt of court for allegedly willfully defying a judge’s order in 2011 and prolonging his patrols for another 17 months.

Arpaio acknowledged extending the patrols, but insisted it wasn't intentional, blaming one of his former attorneys for not properly explaining the importance of the court order and brushing off the conviction as a "petty crime."

He was expected to be sentenced on Oct. 5 and faced up to six months in jail if convicted.

"Sheriff Joe Arpaio is now 85 years old, and after more than 50 years of admirable service to our Nation, he is worthy candidate for a Presidential pardon," the White House said in a statement.

"I am pleased to inform you that I have just granted a full Pardon to 85 year old American patriot Sheriff Joe Arpaio," the president tweeted on Friday night. " He kept Arizona safe!"


Arpaio thanked Trump in an earlier tweet, saying that his conviction was the result of a " Political witch hunt by holdovers in the Obama justice department."


Known for his controversial takes on many issues, including his "birther" campaign against former President Barack Obama and for housing inmates in desert tent camps, Arpaio is best known for his approach to battling illegal immigration. In 2009 he claimed to have arrested 30,000 illegal immigrants since starting his efforts in 2005.

At a rally in Phoenix, on Tuesday, the president asked supporters in the crowd if Arpaio was convicted for doing his job?"
