Zoom Picture

Santo Domingo.- President Leonel Fernandez met Thursday with representatives of Dominican Republic’s 105,000 member-strong Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Mormons), in their temple located on Bolivar avenue in this city.

For his part, second advisor of the Mormon Presidency of the congregation’s Caribbean region, elder Miguel Alfredo Lee, urged the government to promote measures aimed at bolstering family values and to uphold them as society’s fundamental base.

During the activity -the first time a sitting Dominican President meets with Mormon Church leaders- Fernandez spoke with a group of missionaries who transmit the gospel to the citizens.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints has 800 missionaries in the country.

Here is Texas, there are several hundred Mormon women, most with several children. the women are all married to one man, an Nazarene expert on divine beings of the Mormon tendency. The State of Texas has put the prolific husband/father in jail for excessive sex. The state has also put the children in government-supervised custody where they will really catch hell. The state tells the 300 or 400 weeping wifes, of the jailbird husband, to go out and each find a husband of their own.

The 300 or 400 wifes reply "Since most US men are punks, that's kind of hard to do."

"Then why don't you women look around in the Dominican Republic?" the state of Texas advises.

"Too many Haitians."

What ever happened to "protocol" in the Dominican Republic?

"Protocol," the customs and regulations dealing with dplomatic formality, precedence, and etiquette, says a head of state welcomes only other heads of state, if the visiting head of state is important enough.

For example, LF never welcomes Rene Preval when the latter visits Santo Domingo.

But LF runs out to the airplance to bow in front of the fat pig of a Mormon from Salt Lake City who is steadily taking control of the spread and preservation among the masses of belief in divine beings and in divine things from the decadent and lazy Catholics experts on divine beings.

The mormon religious organization is the a kind of farm club for recruitment and talent development for the the FBI, for the last 60 years, and for the CIA, maybe the last 40 years.

A disproportionate number of senior officiers in both secret police groups, the FBI and CIA, are mormon fanatics.

J. Edgar Hoover was the first to discover that the Mormon were ideal intelligence trash and Hoover saturated the FBI with these lunatics from Salk Lake.

In addition to being generally hardworking and outwardly prissy and prudish in demeanor, these Mormon fools believe they are above the law, where the supreme power of the US people resides, because something called "God" communicates directly to them ... or, more correctly, with their leaders.

These Mormon lunatics believe that the word of God exceeds the law and a Mormon is obliged to follow God over law.

Bush played to the Mormon morons when Bush said "God instructed me to attack Iraq. And I did."

So, God OKS illegality.

Uh huh. so ... FBI list-maker ... you're one of them 105,000 Latter-day Saints who live the DR.

Maybe you're also one of them 800 latter-day missionary brainwashers walking the streets in dark trousers, white shirts, greasy neckties, with crew-cut hair, and toting books full of lies about divine beings and divine things.

I'm glad you put me on your list. I belong on it.

Many people assume that Latter-day Saints are clean-living people because he keep their white shirts spotless everyday.

This assumption is totally unsound.

If the Latter-day Saints were only closet bigamists and pedophiles, they wouldn't be so bad. After all, they have a lot of company.

But these Mormon lunatics are also insatiable genocidists and incorrigible reactionaries. One of their jobs when serving as missionaries of imperialism in foreign lands is to prepare lists of whom the imperialists will exterminate in the event of yet another US aggression and occupation.

The Saints also prepare secret geologic and engineering studies ... spying ... to guide future investment and acquisition strategies of the US imperialists.

Their penetration is all-inclusive with their own airfields, safe houses, caches, security, communications, etc.

Belial you and I finally agree on something.

This blasmephous, brainwashing cult, full of pedophiles and wife beaters is an abomination of any thing good and true.

They purposely try to stand out here, walking around in the hot sun like fools.

They prey on the uneducated and the destitute.

Nothing more then a cult and they use their religious status so they can proclaim to be "non-profit" so they can avoid paying taxes.

Phooey!

You bunch of idiots. I suppose none of you know that Mormons believe that black people and anyones of color are plagued and are cursed beings. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EttkesUjfAI Unless that is the motives DR is going for. Already as though the high rate of prostitution in DR was not enough, now I take it also unless polygamy is DR's next goal then they could meet with all the Mormons in the world they wish. Now the only contradiction is. How can a Roman Catholic faith Nation be associated with any other faiths that preach idolatry and adultery is beyond me.

Anyways, I thought these clips would help:

PS: While on youtube, remember to check all the other related clips. Lastly, go to google and make a search on Illuminati and tell me what you find - Yes, nothing.

If you must know, those of he higher up secret societies have made sure that it is the one subject that google do not offer you great vast result on as usually google is known for anything else you type in the Google query search engine.

By the way, Obama is going to be the next US President since they have just accepted him in "the" Circle. Look at Obama's left hand signal in his North Carolina's Victory Speech and look at this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nil8ZDOxuZQ

Yes amid all great other potentials for Vice President that will be to considered and many will come close to be picked and it would look like Obama would have had already picked one, but eventually it will be an Obama-Hillary Ticket because he will be advised to do so for the sake of the Democratic Party; and yes there will be an assassination attempt (Not because it is obvious, but because it is inevitable).

Also there will be a big bio-chemical outbreak or terror attack in the US that will cause many to migrate further South thus in the Caribbean Islands and South America and no I am not going to give you guys the exact year or clues as to when approximately or on whose Presidency. A caribbean President or leader will die on the Island of Hispaniola very, very soon.

The "All Seeing Eye" on the US Dollar bill is the eye of George Washington.

But all of this may just perhaps be speculations on my part and let us hope so.

I wish it were not true.

I am very respectful of every ones believes and political ideologies, but that tolerance does not mean personal acceptance. Especially if these believes are imposed on people before they are able to make their own independent judgement, like children.

Please feel free to use the video as you see fit. Knowledge is created by everyone, but belongs to no one!

PS

I have not had the pleasure of seeing your videos as of yet, I am somewhat limited for time today but I will, thank you.
