Brigham Young was a murderer, a thief, a tyrant, and a traitor.
No decent human being would do anything other than spit
on his grave.

151 And which of the sons of God hath the world not hated and scourged,
saith the Father?
Revelations of Jesus Christ 2:151
My name is had for good and evil upon the whole earth, as promised to me.
Thirty years ago brother Joseph, in a lecture to the Twelve, said to me,
"your name shall be known for good and evil throughout the world," and it is
so. The good love me, weak and humble as I am, and the wicked hate me; but
there is no individual on the earth but what I would lead to salvation, if
he would let me; I would take him by the hand, like a child, and lead him
like a father in the way that would bring him to salvation.

The Lord rebuke thee, O vain man.
Journal of Discourses, Vol.10, Pg.297, Brigham Young, May 15, 1864:
I do not want "Mormonism" to become popular; I would not, if I could, make
it as popular as the Roman Catholic Church is in Italy, or as the Church of
England is in England, because the wicked and ungodly would crowd into it in
their sins. There are enough of such characters in it now. There are quite
a number here who will apostatize. It needs this and that to occur to make
some leave. If "Mormonism" were to become popular, it would be much as it
was in the days of the early Christians, when no one could get a good
position unless he was baptized for the remission of sins; he could not get
an office, without he was baptized into the church.
Journal of Discourses, Vol.10, Pg.297, Brigham Young, May 15, 1864:
Unpopular. "Oh dear, how they are despised and hated, those 'Mormons!'"
Did not Jesus say that His disciples should be hated and despised? Said he,
"They hate me, and they will hate you also." Has it ever been otherwise?
He said, emphatically, "In the world ye shall have persecution, but in me ye
shall have peace."
21 And they are mighty such as the world hath not seen, yea the glory of my
legions and the devils and the hosts of hell tremble at their name, even
Peter and James and John, Joseph, and Brigham Young, and many others, for
they the devils know, O man, and they tremble as should ye, but for thy
ignorance and slow stupidity and sloth in the flesh.
Revelations of Jesus Christ 32:21
It's always the big lie that the masses buy.
False prophets are popular, like when they saluted Hitler.
For the introduction of a new kind of music must be shunned as imperiling
the whole state; since styles of music are never disturbed without affecting
the most important political institutions.

American Record Guide says, "It hits many a nail on the head and names many
a problem that needs a name."
The Religion and Society Report says, "E. Michael Jones posits the highly
provocative thesis that the roots of cultural upheavel that culminated in
the sixties can be traced back to Richard Wagner's revolt against
classical rational ideals in musical composition coupled with his
'revolutionary' sexual ethics. The book is gripping in its story line -
Nietzsche, Schonberg, and Mick Jagger form the rest of Jones's main
cast ... Jones puts his finger on a notion that is at least as old as
Plato's Republic. Music, he contends, acts directly on the soul. Disordered
music leads to disordered lives, which lead to disorder in the state. The
idea deserves thoughtful consideration."
Douglas Wilson of Agenda Magazine says, "E. Michael Jones takes
a meat axe to Wagner's Tristan und Isolde in his provocative Dionysos
Rising. Great book."
Michael Chapman of HLI Reports says, "Well-written and lucid. Catholics
engaged in the Culture of Life will find the book indispensible."
Social Justice Review says, "For a first hand account of how the Western
musical tradition was deconstructed, there is no better place to begin than
with E. Michael Jones' eminently readable book."
Eric J. Scheske of New Covenant says, "Music can help a person develop
an ordered and virtuous soul, or it can tend to disrupt a person's soul.
This fact was extensively illustrated by E. Michael Jones in Dionysos
Rising."
You can hear it on the radio anywhere you go
It's steady as the rhythm of a clock
It cuts through the noise of the city life
It won't seem to go away
It's the devil in disguise I tell you no lies

Dire Straits:
Les boys do cabaret
Les boys are glad to be gay
They're not afraid now
Disco bar in Germany
Les boys are glad to be
Upon parade now
Les boys got leather straps
Les boys got SS caps
But they got no gun now
Get dressed up get a little risque
Got to do a little S & M these days
It's all in fun now
Les boys come on again
For the high class whores
And the businessmen
Who drive in their Mercedes Benz
To a disco bar in old Munchen
They get the jokes that the DJ makes
They get nervous and they make mistakes
They're bad for business
Some tourist take a photograph
Les boys don't get one laugh
He says they're useless
Late at night when they're gone away
Les boys dream of Jean Genet
High heel shoes and a black beret
And the posters on the wall that say
Les boys do cabaret
Les boys are glad to be gay
5 But I the Lord having proven my servant Brigham Young, who verily is now
with me, and whose name is sanctified as Peter, James and John, and is in my
presence, in the might of my power, yea, I the Lord did prove him and others
in all things.

Desertphile's Desert Soliloquy.
Men who have no principle of truth, do not understand the word of truth when
they hear it. The devil taketh away the word of truth out of their hearts,
because there is no desire for righteousness in them.
~~Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, Section Two 1834-37 Pg.96
10 Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall
do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall
understand.
(Old Testament | Daniel 12:10)
I want to stick to my text, to show that when men open their lips against
these truths they do not injure me, but injure themselves. To the law and
to the testimony, for these principles are poured out all over the
Scriptures. When things that are of the greatest importance are passed over
by the weak-minded men without even a thought, I want to see truth in all
its bearings and hug it to my bosom. I believe all that God ever revealed,
and I never hear of a man being damned for believing too much; but they are
damned for unbelief.
~~Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, Section Six 1843-44 Pg.373
My brother Joseph, before "Mormonism" came to us, was a man of sad heart,
seeking to find in the Bible the principles of eternal life. He once said
to me, "Brother Brigham, there are no Bible Christians upon the face of the
earth, and I do not see any possible escape for the human family. According
to the writings of the Old and New Testaments, all must go to perdition." I
do not suppose that he had a smile on his countenance for years.

In Speculation's wild dominions,
We treasure every dictum thou emittest,
While down the stream of Evolution
We drift, expecting no solution
But that of the survival of the fittest.
Till, in the twilight of the gods,
When earth and sun are frozen clods,
When, all its energy degraded,
Matter to aether shall have faded;
We, that is, all the work we've done,
As waves in aether, shall for ever run
In ever-widening [322] spheres through heavens beyond the sun.
~~James Clerk Maxwell
(*The Life of*, by Campbell and Garnett, 1882, pg. 333)
Now if philosophers will point out where empty space is, I will pay them
for their trouble, because all the wicked will be running to me to know
where it is, that they may be where God does not dwell, for they will want
the rocks and mountains to fall on them to hide them from His presence.
I could make money by directing poor devils where empty space is.
