Two Top Mormon Leaders Arrested-- None Of Their 22 Spouses Had Anything To Do With Gay Marriages Of Course

Mormon blasphemy holds Jesus was a polygamist

The Mormon cult has been in the news a lot lately, mostly as the instigator and financier of the vicious and bigoted attack on gay families in California. Seeking to bond with religious right extremists who have traditionally opposed polygamy, the Mormon's, like a punk hoodlum seeking to move up and become a Mafia "made" man, offered to lead the effort against gays in the battle over Proposition 8. The commotion was also a convenient smokescreen for questions about why more and more Mormons are falling back into the cult's old (and illegal) polygamous ways.

Polygamy has been an integral, if hidden, part of the Mormon cult since Joseph Smith (who had many secret wives) made the whole idiotic pseudo "religion" up in the 1830s. But it wasn't until crime figure Brigham Young (who had 51 wives, although he only impregnated 16 of them) made it official cult doctrine in 1852 that it was all out in the open. In order to cover up the fact that they were all a bunch of adulterous perverts, the cult founders made polygamy Mormon doctrine and it is still used by authoritarian Mormon males as a way of justifying immoral conduct with as many young girls-- often under age-- as they can get their paws on. Most Mormons are very secretive about their polygamous lifestyles although some of their sects practice it out in the open. The Republican Party has a pact with the Mormon leaders that if they keep it all quiet they'll be left alone.

After Abe Lincoln made polygamy officially illegal in 1862, Utah found itself unable to join the US as a state. Eventually Brigham Young, a psychotic and delusional mass murderer, vicious racist, and serial pervert, was tried for lewd and lascivious cohabitation. Eventually the Mormon cult "banned" polygamy, although it winks and nods while thousands of members continue leading polygamous lives.

Yesterday two demented top Mormon leaders in Canada, Jim Oler, 44, and Winston Blackmore, 52, were arrested and charged with polygamy. Their sect of the cult is connected to Mormon cults in Hildale, Utah, Eldorado, Texas, and Colorado City, Arizona. Both men call themselves "bishops" and Blackmore may also be guilty of statutory rape-- like his former pal, Mormon crazy Warren Jeffs (currently in prison)-- since some of his "wives" were under 18 when he "married" them.

Two top leaders of a polygamous community in western Canada have been arrested and charged with practicing polygamy, British Columbia's attorney general said Wednesday.

Attorney General Wally Oppal said Winston Blackmore is charged with marrying 20 women, while James Oler is accused of marrying two women. Oppal, who said the charges carry a maximum penalty of five years in prison, said the case will be the first test of Canada's polygamy laws.

"This has been a very complex issue," he said. "It's been with us for well over 20 years. The problem has always been the defense of religion has always been raised."

...[A Mormon spokesman said] "We believe that our religion is being discriminated against and that there are many government officials working with each other to carry out a vendetta of hatred and are determined to end our way of life."

If so-called "responsible" and law abiding Mormons, like GOP leader Mitt Romney, who still plans to capture the White House, want to show that their cult isn't a danger to society, perhaps they could divert some of the millions of dollars they are spending illegally to attack peaceful gay families and use it to clean up their own worldwide mess. Perhaps a serious educational crusade to bring Mormons into the 21st Century would be a better use of Mormon millions than using it to stoke the flames of bigotry and oppression.
