The Force is Strong With This One
I was in Salt Lake City back in about 1985 or so and they were in teh process of "outing" an antique documents dealer who had previously had a great reputation, as a "fraud and forger" because he has sold three letters in succession to the LDS church (Mormons) and the latest one being a "Lizard Letter" wherein Joseph Smith apparently recognized tht he was being fooled by "the Lizards". Shortly thereafter, Joseph Smith was killed and Brigham Young came to power and took on 42 wives or something rather STS if him so ....
Of course the LDS church immediately called the newly discovered letter "a forgery" and prosecuted him and he disappeared but the newspaper article at the time I read it DID PRINT the contents of hte "alleged forgery" in the newpaper. Unfortunately, when I look for it now the Deseret News archives online do not go back that far so if anyone on the list happens to live in Salt Lake City who could physically go to the newpaper offices and look up those articles and the contents of that letter and post it here I think it would be of great value.
This is especially true since the LDS Mormon Church seems to think and preach that they have some special purpose during the second coming and have staked out this site in Zion Missouri already for the new church of the second coming or whatever theyre calling it based on Joseph Smith's channeled revelations before he was murdered. so I think the most direct connection right now that could be outed by that Lizard Letter would be particularly timely for this group to consider.
thank you!
