This doesn't surprise me at all:

Helaman 6:21-24

21 But behold, Satan did stir up the hearts of the more part of the Nephites, insomuch that they did unite with those bands of robbers, and did enter into their covenants and their oaths, that they would protect and preserve one another in whatsoever difficult circumstances they should be placed, that they should not suffer for their murders, and their plunderings, and their stealings.
22 And it came to pass that they did have their signs, yea, their secret signs, and their secret words; and this that they might distinguish a brother who had entered into the covenant, that whatsoever wickedness his brother should do he should not be injured by his brother, nor by those who did belong to his band, who had taken this covenant.
23 And thus they might murder, and plunder, and steal, and commit whoredoms and all manner of wickedness, contrary to the laws of their country and also the laws of their God.
24 And whosoever of those who belonged to their band should reveal unto the world of their wickedness and their abominations, should be tried, not according to the laws of their country, but according to the laws of their wickedness, which had been given by Gadianton and Kishkumen.

Truely sad is our situation. :ymsick:

And may I add:

Helaman 7:
4 And seeing the people in a state of such awful wickedness, and those Gadianton robbers filling the judgment-seats—having usurped the power and authority of the land; laying aside the commandments of God, and not in the least aright before him; doing no justice unto the children of men;

5 Condemning the righteous because of their righteousness; letting the guilty and the wicked go unpunished because of their money; and moreover to be held in office at the head of government, to rule and do according to their wills, that they might get gain and glory of the world, and, moreover, that they might the more easily commit adultery, and steal, and kill, and do according to their own wills—

6 Now this great iniquity had come upon the Nephites, in the space of not many years; and when Nephi saw it, his heart was swollen with sorrow within his breast; and he did exclaim in the agony of his soul:

7 Oh, that I could have had my days in the days when my father Nephi first came out of the land of Jerusalem, that I could have joyed with him in the promised land; then were his people easy to be entreated, firm to keep the commandments of God, and slow to be led to do iniquity; and they were quick to hearken unto the words of the Lord—

8 Yea, if my days could have been in those days, then would my soul have had joy in the righteousness of my brethren.

9 But behold, I am consigned that these are my days, and that my soul shall be filled with sorrow because of this the wickedness of my brethren.

I remember reading there were over 600,000 emails and it would take quite a while to go through them all. Funny how he knows he won't recommend charges even though they haven't gone through all the emails.

As I said, it was engineered for a purpose: Announce another serious concern of her shortly before the election, then clear her so as to give the appearance of her being cleared, and allowing the spin doctors a chance to say "See? It's all a vast right-wing conspiracy."

We Asked Experts If FBI Can Do ‘Meaningful’ Review of Clinton Emails in One Week

FBI Director James Comey has once again thrown a curveball into the 2016 election with just two days to go. In a late Sunday afternoon letter to Congress, Comey confirmed that the FBI has not changed their conclusion regarding their decision not to move forward with charges against Hillary Clinton. Despite FBI agents reportedly having thousands of emails to get through in just over a week, Comey said they found nothing that would change their conclusion about the investigation. Apparently, many of the emails were duplicates from their first probe. However, we wanted to know, is it possible for FBI agents to thoroughly review this many emails in such a short time span?

FBI investigations usually take weeks if not months to complete. We reached out to a variety of experts with deep knowledge about FBI Public Corruption investigations to get their insight. Some told us the speed of this review was highly unusual, and also raised questions about whether agents conducted a meaningful process. However, some contend, at the very least, it was entirely possible that they did.


Bill Thomas (Former federal prosecutor)
“I don’t know how you do a meaningful review of 30,000 documents in such a short period of time. I would imagine that with all the criticism of his conduct and the implications resulting from a pending investigation of a presidential candidate, the FBI pulled out all the stops to get them reviewed.

I believe that under normal circumstances something like this would have taken weeks if not months. I would also expect that there would have been some involvement by prosecutors as well but it looks as if they are punting this whole mess to Comey and the FBI and maybe that did not happen either.

These would be all interesting questions to pose to Mr. Comey…how was the review done? Who did the review? Who made the ultimate call of no prosecution? Were there prosecutors from DOJ involved in the review and decision making process?”
Henry E. Hockeimer (Attorney at Ballard Spahr, former assistant U.S. attorney)
“Nothing about this is the usual – particularly after the first Comey letter. That letter, and the subsequent criticism, may have spurred the Bureau on to review this new information as quickly as possible and reach some conclusion before the election. From reports it’s a lot of emails, but with significant manpower it’s certainly possible all of it was comprehensively reviewed for any relevant information. It’s unclear to me whether any prosecutor played an active role in this piece of it – seems like the FBI was in the lead. My guess is there was some prosecutorial role, but not a significant one.

After all of this firestorm over the last week and not having found anything problematic it appears to be a big ‘never mind.'”

Elkan Abramowitz (Washington D.C., White Collar Criminal Defense Attorney)

“The review wouldn’t necessarily take too long if the Abedin emails were duplicates of material they already had reviewed. Comey should have conducted the review before he wrote the first letter. Millions of people have voted based on an unfair innuendo created by the first letter that Comey had found new evidence to warrant the reopening of the investigation. All in all, Comey made a huge mistake originally which today’s letter only partially ameliorates.”

Page Pate (Atlanta, Criminal Defense Attorney, adjunct professor of law at the University of Georgia)
“It’s possible if they put over a hundred agents on it. And it looks like that’s what they did. (Were you surprised?) Not considering all the pressure the FBI was under after he made the announcement. The reputation of the entire FBI was on the line.”

The NYPD story was probably half true, which made it believable. The NYPD is investigating Anthony Weiner. They do/did have his laptop and discovered the 650,000 emails during their investigation looking for child porn.

But I have yet to read any credible story that says NYPD commissioner, James O'Neill, has made any statement that he is going to talk to the press about their findings. You can check his Twitter account and there is nothing. Also he was put into place by Bill DeBlasio. The former police commissioner who stepped down for a job in the private sector easier this year stumped for Hillary.

I think the story sounds good. It is full of things half true. Kind of like the "soft coup" theory by Steve Pieczenik, which turned out to be BS. Comey didn't initiate any soft coup.

The NYPD commissioner probably doesn't care if the Clinton's are criminals. As much as I like Batman, I don't think he's a Commissioner Gordon.

So the big question now - was this all a big PsyOp to demoralize the conservatives and rally the liberals? FBI head fakes followed by fake news ("NYPD is gonna raid and arrest any minute now!!!") and fake indictments...

Seems like we've been had. It *almost* looked like there would be justice, with rule of law restored. And then the house of cards folded in on itself.

No matter what happens, I believe that the invisible government has planned this down to a T. Whomever wins, was supposed to all along. As long as we do not forget that God is the one that is actually in control and all of these secret combination members are further damning themselves. We are becoming a more and more wicked nation. And we all know wickedness never was happiness.

I thought the prepper false predictions were bad. The alt-rad-right false and fake baloney are even worse. Many will have to go to addiction recovery after this election.

I want no part of the Republican party if this is what it has turned into.

You keep demonizing this so called alt-rad-right faction. Tell me exactly who you are defining as part of this group you are defining. Those who believe in following the constitution and the rule of law? Who are these people?

The alt-rad-right demonize themselves. Those who are posting all the fake/false news do the same. Sorry to disappoint you, but Trump is not following the constitution or the rule of law. If I were to say what a combination looks like, it's the crap going on with the Trump campaign.

I know, you hate Hillary. Well, that hatred will probably get her elected.

Maybe I'm a deluded tinfoil hat wearing numbskull, but I think Hillary is all kinds of guilty in ways that should embarrass and disqualify her forever. That the FBI can't prove it or refuses to prosecute no matter what they find doesn't dissuade me of that conviction. The whole thing reeks of Gadianton from top to bottom.

None of that excuses Trump, of course. I read the other day that the number of conservatives willing to vote in an immoral candidate has increased considerably since 2000. That kind of information doesn't make me feel any better about the direction of our country.

Also, read this.
Of course the alt-right is not a single group, but is composed of many sub-communities that have become radicalized at different rates and over different issues. Some communities, such as the #BlueHand” movement, relentlessly and aggressively promote Islamaphobia, whereas other communities rail against diversity, which they describe as #WhiteGenocide. Still others align themselves with neo-Nazis and engage in Holocaust denial  —  largely focused on a recent pro-Adolph Hitler documentary called “The Greatest Story Never Told ” —  while some instead choose the white supremacist groups with roots in the United States such as the Klu Klux Klan.
