History records Donald J. Trump and Republicans—only because of him—as the lone president and party to seek to criminalize child trafficking. Defenseless innocent children offer candidates no money or votes to protect them from the satanic practices of sex slavery, perhaps even sacrifice. Practices that exceed anything Sodom and Gomorrah did. The Epstein client list with the Russia Russia Russia hoax coup d’état is presently coming out simultaneously. As we learn more about one we learn more about the other. Together they reveal the politicians, Hollywood actors and propaganda news icons blackmailed by Epstein for feasting on children at Epstein Island to satisfy their perverse sexual appetites. It is America’s darkest, most guarded, evil secret and its gradually coming to light.
Two reasons why child sex trafficking can no longer be tolerated. 1) Because it is pure evil. “But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea (Matthew 18:6). 2) Child sex slavery “is the fastest growing international crime network that the world has ever seen. It has already passed the illegal arms trade and soon it is going to pass the drug trade because you can sell a bag of cocaine one time but a child 5 to 10 times a day.” Never in history has there been more slavery than now.
Trump never started a war against another country but he did declare war against human trafficking, something the Deep State, today found most heavily in the Democrat Party, would never do. On December 29, 2017, Trump proclaimed January 2018, as National Slavers and Human Trafficking Proclamation month. On April 11, 2018, Trump signed FOSTA, a bill removing Section 230 which protected tech platforms from liability of sex trafficking on their sites. On December 21, 2018, Trump signed an act which strengthens programs supporting survivors of trafficking and fights trafficking. On January 8, 2018, Trump signed an act authorizing $430 million to fight sex trafficking worldwide. On January 9, 2019, Trump signed an act tightening criteria for whether countries are meeting the standards of eliminating trafficking. On January 31, 2020, Trump signed an act establishing new prevention, protection, and collaboration initiatives to bring traffickers to justice. On August 4, 2020, Trump authorized over $35 million to prove safe housing for trafficking victims. On September 21, 2020 Trump gave over $100 million to fight trafficking in the United States (The American Thinker, X22 Reports-not cited hereafter Ep. 3374b, June 9, 2024, 16: 16). Eight major actions, all of this his first term in office. And today he advocates the death penalty for those trafficking children.
Joe Biden rescinded all of the above by executive order on his 2nd day in office with no voiced Democrat opposition (Ep. 3008b, Feb. 27, 2023, 13:23). He may have had reason to avoid this subject. Pages 67-68 of his daughter Ashley’s diary reads, “I’m so afraid of him coming in the shower with me that I’ve waited until late at night to take a shower” (Ep. 3028b, March 24, 2023, 11:21). The diary was used to incarcerate the two persons who “stole” it so the courts have established its authenticity (Ep. 3112b, July 10, 2023, 15:00). Joe Biden should stand trial as a pedophile. No movement to end the practice has resulted under Biden as White House resident but the DHS has very recently reported that at least 450,000 children have disappeared in the illegal immigrate invasion under Biden’s watch—likely as victims in the sex trade (Ep. 3693b, July 25, 2025, 8:34).
Books were written and films produced seeking the light of day on the subject but basically the evil remained underground. John Paul Rice, director of the Hunger Games movies, expressed his concerns about pedophilia through a compelling film he produced in 2018 called “A Child’s Voice,” depicting a fictional child trafficking ring.” It was heavily censored by the left so the film is hard to find. Most Americas remained in denial. Society couldn’t be that evil!!
Mass exposure, despite hellish opposition, finally broke through on July 4, 2023, because of the relentless efforts of the religious right and Angel Studios of Provo, Utah. “The Sound of Freedom.” was a sleeper hit, becoming one of the most successful independent films in history. It has grossed $250 million against a $14.5 million budget. This is the two year anniversary of that breakthrough. Angel Studio had promised a sequel tracing pedophilia in the devastating Haiti earthquake which orphaned thousands of kids who then allegedly were sold into sex slavery by the Clinton Foundation. Recently found documentation shows Jeffrey Epstein was co-founder of the Clinton Foundation so there may be substance to the allegation (Ep. 3692b, July 24, 2025, 23:48).
A casual look at the Internet reveals a serious problem with pedophilia in the United States (Wikipedia, “Sex trafficking in the United States”). “Approximately 500,000 child predators are online every day” releasing their fantasies (Screen & Reveal, Pedophile Statistics and FAQs, Last updated February 20, 2023, Lindsay Muntingh).
Two reasons why child sex trafficking can no longer be tolerated. 1) Because it is pure evil. “But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea (Matthew 18:6). 2) Child sex slavery “is the fastest growing international crime network that the world has ever seen. It has already passed the illegal arms trade and soon it is going to pass the drug trade because you can sell a bag of cocaine one time but a child 5 to 10 times a day.” Never in history has there been more slavery than now.
In the meantime it is good to refresh what LibertyUnderFire has published the last 27 months on this satanic story. In April 7, 2023, we published, “What About the Children? We know, we know!! But they were Silent!” In it we covered Elon Musks suspension of “800,000 [then Twitter] accounts during the month of February alone that distributed child sexual exploitation (CSE) material, and the company has reduced successful searches for such material by 99% since December … It will continue to be our #1 priority, a 100 fold reduction in CSE search patterns,” Musk promised. Pedos then took their recruiting to the other social media platforms to jolificate on the images of our little ones.
In July 14, 2023 we published “God’s Children are not for Sale, The Sound of Freedom.” The film producers tell us that child sex slavery “is the fasters growing international crime network that the world has ever seen. It has already passed the illegal arms trade and soon it is going to pass the drug trade because you can sell a bag of cocaine one time but a child 5 to 10 times a day.” Its a $150 billion a year industry. Never in history has there been more slavery than now.
On July 21, 2023, we published “Movie Broke Sound Barrier on Pedophilia so WHO is Selling God’s Children?” Those supporting are: Disneyland, Hollywood, Deep State news outlets, most social media outlets, and finally, even the Biden Administration? Detail was provided on each.
On July 28, 2023 we published, “We can Stop Pedophilia in its Tracks—Here’s How!” Biden removed virtually all Trump barriers to child sex trafficking across the Southern border. Child trafficking under Biden was government sponsored and taxpayer funded, perhaps like Amazon, right to the slave purchaser’s front door. The death penalty for child sex trafficking, encouraged by Trump, is an appropriate response for those convicted.
Today we can find no action in Democrat Party behavior that condemns / or punishes pedophilia. Absent this, they support a society selling children to satisfy adult perverse sexual appetites. Silence or denial on this subject is not opposition —it’s supporting child trafficking.

Perhaps no-one has been more protected by our government for decades than Jeffrey Epstein, at least until his alleged murder or very questionable suicide on Aug. 10, 2019. And likely no one knows more about scandalous secrets of adults in high places with children than he. For decades he is believed to have “gathered blackmail materials on elected politicians, dignitaries, royalty, Hollywood influencers, Wall Street and other financial level players, other high industry specific people. etc.” (X22 Report, hereafter not cited, Ep. 3686b, July 14, 2025, 38:55).
Tulsi Gabbard is interviewed by Rob Schmitt on Newsmax on Tuesday July 22 2025. The U.S Director of National Intelligence alleged that former President Barack Obama ‘manufactured’ evidence to ‘suggest Russia helped Donald Trump win the 2016 presidential election.’ Gabbard ‘announced that she was referring Obama’ administration officials —including FBI director James Comey, ex-CIA director John Brennan, and her own predecessor James Clapper—to the Justice Department over their roles in the alleged plot to undermine Trump’s victory over Hillary Clinton. She subsequently accused Obama of orchestrating a ‘yearlong coup’ against Trump during an interview with Maria Bartiromo on Fox New’s Sunday Morning futures. Will any of these stand trial for treason?
A recent finding revealed that Epstein claimed in 2001 to have CIA ties “a detail corroborated by a 2023 Department of Justice Inspector General report noting his unexplained financial connections, suggesting a deeper intelligence link beyond his public financier role.” Also revealed was his renting property from the State Department – property that was formerly an Iranian government building seized by the U.S. after the Iran hostage crisis. (2001 Evening Standard article “Jeffrey Epstein,” found by DataRepublican, Jan. 22, 2001, Page 287). This suggests that he might have served as a government asset’
The Deep State is now viewed by most as a type of shadow government and its CIA was shown in the recent Kennedy files to be involved in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. How much more powerful could the CIA be if Epstein and blackmail were used to silence or control people in this or other scandals now coming to light? What if blackmail became, through Epstein working for the CIA, acceptable government operations. If so, this would explain the governments, prior to Trump, lack of interest in stopping or punishing the practice and revealing the Epstein client list. Currently the list is thought useful only for revealing perverts sexually abusing children, but is likely used also—to cover up assassinations, coups d’état and treason and thus the Deep State needs the data Epstein collected on high profile people to silence them and their ops.
Notice Kash Patel and Dan Bongino did not begin their FBI investigations with the Epstein client list made during the Obama and Comey era’s because it was corrupted by events happening at the same time as the list which involved the same people such as former FBI Director James Comey and former CIA director John Brennon, both now under investigation by the FBI for treason. They began with a then contemporary scandal, the almost 10 year old Russian Collusion Hoax, the alleged plot of candidate Donald Trump conspiring with Vladimir Putin to win the 2016 Presidential Election. This was the Deep States’ first attempt to overthrow our government by making Trump unelectable with the now, verified as fake allegation intended to seat their candidate Hillary Clinton. It failed, Trump won.
A recent finding revealed that Epstein claimed in 2001 to have CIA ties “a detail corroborated by a 2023 Department of Justice Inspector General report noting his unexplained financial connections, suggesting a deeper intelligence link beyond his public financier role.” This suggests that he might have served as a government asset.
Comey, Brennon, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama were most involved in the creation of the Epstein list and the Russian Collusion Hoax simultaneously. The new FBI believes the two intertwined. An investigation of one must include the investigation of the other. The 2016 coup d’état failure led to a litany of anti-Trump events and fake indictments, from then to now, to remove him including a second and successful rigged election in 2020, two impeachments and the four fake indictments mentioned. Epstein, the CIA blackmailer, and his list is likely the common denominator of these events and the incentive for the democrat activist district judges organized resistance to every Trump executive order the last seven months. Epstein is the key to probable blackmail which buries the crimes.
The Deep State want only their created Epstein list out which can be manipulated or fabricated with fake information to target Trump as needed and keep him in court fighting frivolous charges for the next 3 1/2 years, as they did under Biden, with corrupt judges. Example, “The Rupert Murdoch-owned Wall Street Journal has published an alleged 2003 birthday letter from Donald Trump to Jeffrey Epstein.” The 22 year-old letter, written in third person, has already been shown to be fake and Trump has sued the Fox News media mogul for $10 billion (“Murdoch humiliates Trump: Will Epstein scandal tarnish his brand for good?”). The Deep State dismisses as important blackmail or the corruption surrounding the Russia Russia Hoax.
The Epstein client list is mostly the Democrats’ list assembled during Clinton, Obama and Biden eras and overseen by intelligence directors Brannon and Comey, both fired by Trump in his first administration and who are now under investigation for treason by the FBI. It likely has credibility problems. Trump wants everything out and knows their plan. Thus the decade long Epstein client list entirely suppressed until Trump forced the issue on the public stage two weeks ago by refusing to release only their uncorroborated list. Trump will do so with the release of a trove of previously classified documents by Tulsi Gabbard on the Russia Russia Hoax that will show another perspective that should be released simultaneously with the Epstein files.
One other point, “Mike Davis, Kash, Bondi and others, are making it MORE than obvious that there’s an ONGOING [and sealed] CRIMINAL GRAND JURY INVESTIGATION underway that involves the Epstein Files, and it must be kept under wraps …” until that plays out (Karma Patriot, Ep. 3687b, July 16, 2025, 46:20). We suspect that this includes the request for a Deep State special prosecutor, which will include an investigation into Epstein so that all the information —not just that of the Deep State players Obama, Comey and Brannon who created the so called Epstein files, will come out together.
Until then Trump says “No! We will go over Epstein to the source.” The source is who controlled Epstein. Leading suspects are the Clinton’s, Barack Obama, and George Soros. The FBI is now looking into Brennan and Comey. Trump is building the narrative that Russian collusion and the Epstein files were happening simultaneously and with the same people.

Let us look at reality, TV (legacy) news is almost entirely controlled by the Deep State and has been for decades. These collectively blasted President Trump with 92% negative coverage during his first 100 days in office, Elon Musk 96%, Pete Hegeth 100% and Robert Kennedy Jr. 89%. The California legislature just shot down making sex trafficking of minors a felony. Lawyers just got Diddy off criminal charges of child trafficking. These outlets say little about the 350,000 missing children unaccounted for during the Joe Biden four years in office believed to be used in this country presently for sex or child labor slavery. Except for right of center news sources Epstein’s criminality would be mostly unreported.
The new narrative began days before when Kash Patel and Dan Bongino said jointly on Sunday Morning with Maria Bartiromo that Epstein, despite contrary evidence like a one minute cut in the video tape, had killed himself. Most who viewed this video noted both had uncomfortable postures and facial expressions while saying this. Was this a PSYOP then and now? Likely!
Add to this reality a rogue criminal justice system under Biden, still in place, that weaponized targeting conservatives especially Catholics, pro-life demonstrators, and indicted hundreds expressing their First Amendment rights of free speech and assembly on January 6, 2021. Thereafter generating four fake indictments against Donald Trump to keep him from running for president again in 2024. And the present activist judges (all anti-Trump Democrats) ruling everything Trump does as unconstitutional until the Supreme Court finally recently ruled 8 to 0 that these activist coup judges had exceeded their authority—they’re rulings are limited to within their own districts only. Judges and Democrats are presently seen as protecting the criminals and defending the indefensible.
In this toxic environment can patriots realistically expect justice on the Epstein client list? We have not seen it on other issues. As with Diddy, sexual injustice to children would not be prosecuted by these judges anyway. Best place this issue on hold until after the mid-terms when justice can be more likely assured after the Constitutional removal of rogue judges.
Do we have the control needed to bring all to justice? No! The Deep State still controls the judges. When we tell the bad people, “We have nothing on you,” won’t they feel more safe and relaxed? “They have nothing on us therefore they won’t come after us.” First clue that Trump was trolling them was the memo had no date, no marking, no signature. Is this the right time to go after these people so they can escape the country or be set free by corrupt judges? Why telegraph our moves? “If we move without ability to provide consequence, they win.”
So Axis published, July 6, 2025-“Exclusive: DOJ, FBI conclude Epstein had no ‘client list,’ died by suicide,” by Alex Isenstadt. Effectively there was no there there. This set both the Left and Right on fire against Trump. Was this insanity or brilliance? It defied the mass of existing evidence. Ghislaine Maxwell was sentenced and is serving 20 years in prison essentially as his partner for the same crimes as Jeffrey Epstein. Her punishment, a “country club” prison.
This was expected. Days before Kash Patel and Dan Bongino had said jointly that they had read the previously created file (not of their making) and concluded that this was what it indeed said. This could have been what it said. Democrats have never gone after Epstein with much enthusiasm. Most who viewed this video noted both had uncomfortable postures while saying this. Was this a PSYOP then and now? Likely! Also days before, Elon Musk, in his supposed feud with Trump, had announced that Trump was on the list. And more recently that Steve Bannon also was on the list; all to bait Trump haters to get the Epstein list to destroy Trump.
If Trump were on the Epstein client list Democrats certainly would have released that information to stop Trump being president, Hillary Clinton in 2016 and Biden in 2020 and 2024. One little sentence, that could be proven, from that list would have ended Trump’s candidacy (X22 Report, hereafter not cited, Ep. 3681b, July 7, 2025, 31:13). Trump is not on the list and Musk knows it. Dems took the bait and even they are looking for and finding Epstein evidence.
The effect of all this, and Trump knew this, is that the Epstein file is getting more attention than it ever could in any other way had Trump just released it. The Left is demanding it more so because they believe Trump is hiding his own crimes. Now 67% of the people want it revealed. Trump is trolling the Left as never before to get maximum exposure to those listed.
Of course, the stall in the Epstein investigation will be resumed in good time and with additional evidence and when the need for a PSYOP is completed. Do we have the control needed to bring all to justice? Not yet! Best place this issue on hold until after the mid-terms when justice can be more likely assured, after the Constitutional removal of rogue judges. “If we move without ability to provide consequence, the criminals win.” Give Trump, Bondi, Petal and Bongino a break they remain Patriots. We all want REAL justice. Be patient, we are winning.
Kash does not want the Deep State players to know they have it all. It is more likely they want them to believe that they have no idea where anything is (Ep. 3681b, July 7, 2025, 33:11). If they thought the FBI actually had the ‘videos of those who killed Epstein they would flee.’ Moves and counter moves. If a PSYOP criminals remain in place for justice later.
Trump is baiting the Democrats. If he just came out and said you were on Epstein Island so I am going to take you down, the optics or interest would not be that great. Trump will make the enemy do the work for him. All his enemies are now saying, we must prosecute these people, because they think Trump is backing off doing so. “And just like that the Dems/mainstream media are now clamoring for the Epstein files. We couldn’t get the Dems/mainstream media to talk about Epstein for 15+ years and now they are claiming Trump is the one covering everything. One thing that’s for certain the Dems and mainstream media are capitalizing on the moment in an attempt to divide Trump’s base and it is working.” Trump has forced the mainstream media and Democrats to talk about Epstein. If they think Trump is covering up something they will talk about it, otherwise silence (Ep. 3683b,July 9, 2025, 11:30). And whatever comes out of the files the Deep State will not be able to bury as before. Brilliant or insane?
Right on cue, “House Judiciary Committee ranking member, Jamie Raskin, along with 15 more of the 19 Democrats on the Committee demanded in a letter that Attorney General Pam Bondi release Epstein file documents, mentioning Trump.” Notice their real interest is in getting documents mentioning Trump—not paedophiles. Trump now has them begging to release what they had no real interest in releasing. Do you think the fake news would go with it otherwise? No!

The new CIA Director John Radcliffe just released ICA’s Tradecraft Review of the 2016 Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) revealing the CIA, FBI and DNI’s unsuccessful attempt to nullify Trump’s 2016 election victory over Hillary Clinton because of alleged Russian collusion in the election. In this, outgoing President Barack Obama and then CIA director John Brennan played major and intentional roles in both. The Russian Hoax and its coverup, is now the biggest political scandal in American history. The Report, showed that “then-CIA Director John Brennan, FBI Director James Comey and Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, who were “excessively involved” in its drafting, and rushed its completion in a “chaotic,” “atypical” and “markedly unconventional” process that raised questions of a “potential political motive” (“Obama’s Trump-Russia collusion report was corrupt from start: CIA review,” by Miranda Devine, New York Post, July 2, 2025). The obvious intent, though not cited, was to leave Trump, the 2016 election victor, unseated, against the will of the people who elected him.
A glaring curiosity was the timing, “on December 6, 2016, six weeks before his presidency ended,” and a month after the election, “Barack Obama ordered the assessment, which concluded that Russian President Vladimir Putin ‘aspired’ to help Trump win the election”—thus Russian collusion (Ibid.). Brennan had an obvious obsession to include in the report the unverified, even discredited Steele dossier, “despite objections of the authors and senior CIA Russia experts, so as to push a false narrative that Russia secured Trump’s 2016 victory.” Still another unexplained anomaly for a guy leaving the presidency within weeks, is Obama’s wire tapping of Hillary’s political opponent. Trump responded, “Just found out that Obama had my ‘wires taped’ in Trump Tower just before the victory. Nothing found. This is McCarthyism!” (X22 Report, Ep. 3679b, July 3, 2025, 47:19, X). “Never has a president left office to collude with others to impede the next sitting president of the United States of America until Obama! (Ibid. 52:23).
The release of the classified “Tradecraft Review of the 2016 Intelligence Community Assessment [ICA] on Russian Election Interference” was conducted by career professionals at the CIA’s Directorate of Analysis and was commissioned by CIA Director John Ratcliffe last May. It concluded that in 2016, then CIA director Brennan and others rushed the Russia Election Interference Intelligence Assessment. In it “Brennan is shown to have dismissed high-level warnings that the Clinton campaign opposition research, the ‘Steel Dossier,’ was not credible. The intelligence community CIA, FBI, DNI, etc. intentionally fabricated intelligence information to create an entirely fictitious storyline”and weaponized the fake narrative against Donald Trump to prevent him from taking office after being elected by the people (Ibid., 48:19).
If the Coup d’état. was unsuccessful then why does this matter now in 2025—nine years later? Because those unpunished then remained in place enabling them to cheat even more so in every two year election cycle thereafter, potentially to infinity if not exposed, punished and stopped.
Rasmussen Reports labeled the CIA Directors’ recent release as “An Enormous Scandal, Dwarfing Watergate and the Pentagon Papers,” much much bigger than Watergate (Ibid., 48:52). To which Lee Smith, an investigative reporter replied, “Useful detail but misses crucial fact. I’ve reported in three books: Obama ordered ICA and knew by August 2016 [that the] only intel tying Trump to Russia was [the] dossier. That’s the scandal, not bad tradecraft or stove piping intel etc: Obama framed Trump” (Ibid. 49:25). Let us repeat, “Obama framed Trump.”
This is certain but it is also certain that had arrests been made, as in Diddy, the corrupt would still get off. Purging the secret combinations Deep State from office is our only hope. Still, we are better informed and prepared to remove them now than ever. Your vote in 2026 must be entirely Deep State free.
General Mike Flynn, who was himself victimized by the Deep State, said, “The newly declassified ICA proves without a shadow of a doubt that the entire operation was a rigged partisan hack job. It wasn’t intelligence. It was propaganda meant to undermine the incoming POTUS. And who orchestrated this disgrace – John Brennan, a man who wore the title of CIA Director but acted like a political assassin in service to the Obama/Clinton machine. He didn’t just fail in his duties. He betrayed it. He weaponized the CIA to push a lie, boxed out the rest of the intelligence community and engineered a fraudulent narrative that tore our nation apart. He knew the Intel was a lie yet he led a small handpicked Cabal to hide the truth and manufactured a story that served their agenda …. Everything they accuse Trump, myself, and others of doing they were doing behind the scenes. That is what Marxists do. And while they pushed their fiction, real Americans paid the price. I exposed all of it in my new book ‘Pardon of Innocence.’” General Flynn’s suggestion now is that “John Brennan needs to be put under investigation immediately.” (Ibid., 49:47). Kash Patel in his book “Government Gangster’s” verifies in detail how this was done—this whole attempted Coup d’état.
There are good reasons why Trump could not go after those who went after him and Flynn when he was president before Joe Biden. Then, few knew of the Deep State. Even fewer would have believed him and had he sought justice who would have investigated and who would have prosecuted—a rogue FBI and Department of Justice? And with the corrupt judicial justices that are only now being exposed, who would have convicted? Even now that the vast majority of the people are awakened to these coup conspirators we are probably not ready to give long prison sentences to them—perhaps executions? If justice is not restored they will be back in power.
Fortunately, “there exists no statute of limitations for conspiring to defraud the US government,” none also for criminal Rico activities, more especially, if criminal activities are ongoing or there exist any attempt to cover them up. This includes cheating in elections in 2016, 2018, 2020, 2022, 2024—much of which has been documented. This is why Trump allowed them to continue to do this. It removes the statute of limitations.” (Ibid., 52:08). But we must win both Houses of Congress decisively in 2026.
Ratcliffe in an exclusive interview summarized the rational for the released Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA). “This was Obama, Comey, Clapper and Brennan deciding ‘We’re going to screw Trump.’” And they did. Others called it treason then and now.

Most Christians believe that the American Revolution, the Declaration of Independence and the U. S. Constitution and the resultant emergence of the most powerful free nation of all time are evidences of Gods inspiration and direct aid. For instance, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints holds it as a tenet of faith that Christ bestowed the U. S. Constitution upon this nation “by the hands of wise men whom I raised up unto this very purpose,” and their members believe it will remain so as long as this nation remembers their God. In this column we will use their references documenting the strength of this relationship between Christ and freedom because they offer the most blatantly stated language of that relationship as originating from Christ. Their citations for the claim come from the Doctrine & Covenants and the Book of Mormon, which members consider as scripture along with the Old and New Testaments.
Most Christians believe that the American Revolution, the Declaration of Independence and the U. S. Constitution and the resultant emergence of the most powerful free nation of all time are evidences of Gods inspiration and direct aid. Christ is credited with having said, “I established the Constitution of this land, by the hands of wise men whom I raised up unto this very purpose, and redeemed the land by the shedding of blood.”
It is good to remember every July 4th and Sept. 11 who gave us our independence, liberty and the U.S. Constitution, and consider what measures we today use to protect it and teach our children its principles. Members also believe that Christ raised up another people on the American continent before our own and also gave them liberty. These citations and this story of its ancient inhabitants follows.
Doctrine &Covenants 98 :4-10. 4 And now, verily I say unto you concerning the laws of the land, it is my will that my people should observe to do all things whatsoever I command them. 5 And that law of the land which is constitutional, supporting that principle of freedom in maintaining rights and privileges, belongs to all mankind, and is justifiable before me. 6 Therefore, I, the Lord, justify you, and your brethren of my church, in befriending that law which is the constitutional law of the land; 7 And as pertaining to law of man, whatsoever is more or less than this, cometh of evil. 8 I, the Lord God, make you free, therefore ye are free indeed; and the law also maketh you free. 9 Nevertheless, when the wicked rule the people mourn. 10 Wherefore, honest men and wise men should be sought for diligently, and good men and wise men ye should observe to uphold; otherwise whatsoever is less than these cometh of evil.
D & C 101:77-80. 77 According to the laws and constitution of the people, which I have suffered to be established, and should be maintained for the rights and protection of all flesh, according to just and holy principles; 78 That every man may act in doctrine and principle pertaining to futurity, according to the moral agency which I have given unto him, that every man may be accountable for his own sins in the day of judgment. 79 Therefore, it is not right that any man should be in bondage one to another. 80 And for this purpose have I established the Constitution of this land, by the hands of wise men whom I raised up unto this very purpose, and redeemed the land by the shedding of blood.
D&C 109:54. Christ is the author of the dedicatory prayer of the Kirkland Temple, verse 54 of that prayer says “… may those principles, which were so honorably and nobly defended, namely, the Constitution of our land, by our fathers, be established forever.”
Book of Mormon, Mosiah 26:10-32 Under King Mosiah in the Book Of Mormon Christ establishes separation of church and state. Alma Sr., head of the newly established Church of Christ, sent those accused of sin to King Mosiah to be judged by him as a government responsibility. But King Mosiah “said unto Alma: Behold, I judge them not; therefore I deliver them into thy hands to be judged.” Alma fearing that he might offend God in the matter “pours out his whole soul to God.” Wherein “the voice of the Lord came to him.” He is taught that Alma’s judgement has only to do with those who will not repent and only with respect to their membership in Christ’s church here on earth. The rest is by Christ himself in the final judgement day. But the doctrine of separation of church and state is established between Mosiah and Alma as early as 120 BC, many centuries before it is established in the U.S. Constitution as Amendment I.
Book of Mormon, Mosiah 29:1-41 and Helaman 4:22. None of King Mosiah’s sons wanted the throne having once been unrighteous men. So Mosiah established a new form of government called “Reign of the Judges” where the people had no king but voted for judges to be their leaders which took effect upon Mosiah’s death about 92 B.C. Helaman 4: 22 tells us that by 61 years of the new kingless government, about 31 B.C. (Christ came to them 64 years later about 33AD), “that they had altered and trampled under their feet the laws of Mosiah, or “that which the Lord commanded him to give unto the people.” IMPORTANT: Christ gave Mosiah this new form of government just as he did our Founders theirs.
King Mosiah knew he would die soon. His sons were in Lamanite lands teaching them about a coming Jesus Christ and none would take the thrown. Christ gave Mosiah a new form of government of elected judges, “the Reign of the Judges” thus freedom, just as he did our Founders with the U.S. Constitution. This left the individual responsible for his own sins. The people “were exceedingly rejoiced because of the liberty which had been granted unto them.” Just like we are.
We know of only a few times in recorded history where monarchs, or potential monarchs, refused leadership so that the people could elect their own leaders, with Nephi being one. Solon, chosen archon or chief magistrate in Athens, about 594 BC who later resigned and left for the University of Alexandrea in Egypt. He was fascinated with the new ideas of democracy floating around but knew it could never be tried while he was in Athens with power to overrule it. Before leaving he established the first democracy in world history where the people elected their own rulers.
All the sons of King Mosiah rejected their fathers throne, as described above, as did George Washington who could have been King in America had he wanted it. He declined but reluctantly agreed to be the first Republic’s first president. He accepted a second term only reluctantly.
With certainty we will one day learn of Christ’s hand in establishing democracy in Athens as well. Because the city states of Greece were mostly democratic the soil was fertile for the ministry of the Apostle Paul and the spread of the gospel post Christ outside Israel and from their to Rome, then to Europe, Great Britain and then to America from which now it is taken to the whole world in a massive way. Freedom, especially religious, facilitated the spread of Christianity but had to be totally in place and protected before a Restoration could succeed.
Of course, Mosiah’s experiment with freedom could not have helped our Founding Fathers as that information was not available until after 1830. Still, tenants of freedom may have surfaced via them. Iroquois legend credits a white god as the origin of their democracy sometime between 1570 and 1600—for the warring tribes located in upper New York and southeastern Canada—which exists still today. The Iroquois Confederacy consisted of the: Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, Seneca, and Tuscarora tribes. Benjamin Franklin and other Founders may have emulated in part the Iroquois “The Great Law of Peace” for America’s Articles of Confederation.
But members believe the U.S. Constitution to be a stand alone revelatory document. It created a Republic, a major and critical refinement of democracy, and is destined to be for the “protection of all flesh, according to just and holy principles;” and to “be established forever,”as Christ said.

Trump. “I gave Iran chance after chance to make a deal… Certain Iranian hardliners spoke bravely, but they didn’t know what was about to happen. They are all DEAD NOW,… Iran, must make a deal, before there is nothing left,… No more death, no more destruction. JUST DO IT BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE.” (X22 Report hereafter not cited, Ep. 3665b, June 13, 2025, 27:45). “Two months ago I gave Iran a 60 day ultimatum to ‘make a deal!.’ They should have done it! Today is day 61. I told them what to do, but they just couldn’t get there. Now they have, perhaps, a second chance! (Trump Warns Iran To Make A Deal Before ‘There Is Nothing Left’, By Kassy Akiva, DailyWire.com, June 13, 2025).
It began with B-2 bombers taking off from Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri in two groups both in silence and in secret one flying directly West over the Pacific, the decoy, the other directly East over the Atlantic, both refueling several times midair in route and traveling over 620 mph.. Operation Midnight Hammer , with 7 stealths each manned by a crew of two, arrived at target areas in Iran 18 hours later for a 25 minute drop of 14 massive bunker busters each capable of destroying solid concrete with rebar 300 ft deep—then home again. Said to be a total success and they were never detected.
Trump was removing the Deep State Iranian government so the people themselves, who last demonstrated against the government in 100 days of protest in 2022, where “more than 500 protesters, including 69 children, have been killed,” according to the Human Rights Activists’ News Agency (HRANA) (Iran protests: ‘No going back’ as unrest hits 100 days, by Parham Ghobadi, 26 December 2022). The clerical government is not loved by the people. Iranians now can successfully come to power choosing to be free and elect their own government, This is the very opposite of the CIA directed regime change that came about in 1979 in Iran. Trump still believes this will result and that the Iranian people support what he has done. We will see.
Israel says “it destroyed over 120 Iranian missile launchers overnight: we’ve achieved aerial superiority over Iran…Israel is expected to issue its first – ever ‘evacuation orders’ for buildings and neighborhoods in Iran’s capital Tehran. (“IDF says a third of Iran’s missile launchers destroyed, urges parts of Tehran to evacuate,” by Emanuel Falbian, The Times of Israel, 16 June 2025). Iran had no allies.
The Wall Street Journal was among the first to suggest that the Iranian people might want to negotiate peace, (“A Battered Iran Signals it Wants to De Escalate Hostilities with Israel and Negotiate Messages passed by Tehran through intermediaries seek a return to talks if the U. S. Stays out of the Fight,” By Summer Said, Benoit Faucon, and Angt Peled, June 16, 2025). Obviously America was very much in the fight after their takeout of the nuclear sites June 21. Iranians were likely kept in the dark as to why either Israel or American was bombing them.
With Trump’s call to“Evacuate Tehran” the Deep State U. S. media went berserk expecting Trump to initiate a nuclear attack on Tehran. But Trump said nothing about nuclear. He was likely trying to cause some kind of chaos there to force Iran back to the table to discuss peace (Ep. 3667b, June 17, 2025, 14:51). Remember all wars are also information wars long before any real fighting. He’s always said, “IRAN CAN NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON.” Notice Trump’s disabling comments. “We now have complete and total control of the skies over Iran.” Then indirectly to the Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei,”We now know exactly where the supreme leader is hiding. He is an easy target, but is safe there. We are not going to take him out, at least not for now, but we don’t want missiles shot at civilians, or American soldiers. Our patients is wearing thin” (Ep. 3667b, June 17, 2025, 39:13). Trump has an uncanny ability to get into the head of his opponents.
Trump maintains, “There is never any reason to put a single boot on the ground in Iran.” He executed his bombing of the nuclear facilities from inside the state of Missouri to inside the country of Iran, an 18-hour one-way flight, and back to prove this point stating, “That is how the forever wars were forever wars. They never wanted any war completed.” The Deep State used Iran and their production of weapons to fund the state funded terrorist. Thus the Deep State stayed in control. Trump allowed Israel to serve as a proxy to war until the people of Iran themselves say, enough is enough. The Deep State won’t be able to use Iran anymore. (Ep. 3668b, June 18, 2025, 31:32). Trump, “We’re not looking for long-term war. I only want one thing, Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. That’s it.”
Deep State power in the Middle East must end. To this end look what Trump has already done. He removed ISIS. Hezbollah is no more. He removed Hamas, he has removed the Houthis, Iranian proxy forces in Yemen. He is removing all the state funded terrorist organizations created by the CIA in decades past in the region and is now shutting down first their funding through USAIDS. He shut down their ability to get intelligence. Now he is going to Iran, the hub of the problem in the Middle East, they create most of the supplies and weapons for the region. His actions are more likely to prevent World War III than start it!
With respect to his use of the War Powers Act in Iran, it doesn’t make it right, but everybody used it to bomb other countries: Clinton, Obama, Bush. All that is required is that one notifies Congress and you can strike a nation for 60 days and you don’t need congress’s approval. Countries thus bombed included: Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Yemen, Somalia, and Pakistan.
Trump wants the Deep State’s unconditional surrender. The Deep State until now controls the opposition in Iran. Trump supports no regime change unless it comes from the people. There will be no CIA puppet government as elsewhere, like Ukraine. Trump is weakening the Deep State enabling the people themselves to rise and throw it off (Ep. 3669b, June 19, 2025, 2:20).
Expect a peaceful transfer of power in Iran. The Deep State is almost gone and thus far Trump has all the leverage there. The Deep State used a nuclear Iran to push fear around the world. After the destruction of the facilities they can’t do that any more. As Trump said after the destruction of the nuclear plants, “NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE!” We will see.
