Amlici, Amalickiah, Fraud, and Freedom

I know y'all are probably on pins and needles waiting to hear my opinion on the fraudulent takeover of the United States presidency.

Like all of you, or most of you, I am beyond disappointed.  I kept hoping and praying that somebody would do the right thing.  Yet time and time again all I saw was backstabbing, corruption, secret combinations, and spineless wimps who would not stand up for truth and right.  President Trump was a lone warrior fighting to retain his legitimately won second term as President of the United States of America.

There's only so much one man can do against so much evil and corruption.  Literally everybody who was supposed to be helping President Trump, who was supposed to be on his side, ended up stabbing him in the back.  All legal avenues were squashed by corrupt judges.  Including the Supreme Court.  The judicial branch of the United States government is corrupt.  The legislative branch of the United States government is corrupt.  The executive branch (save President Trump) is corrupt.  All three branches of the United States government are corrupt.  President Trump stood alone fighting for truth, right, and freedom.  He's only one man.

It's really a shame that the smug, evil Democrats won this battle.  President Trump gave them a good fight but the Democrats ran the greatest voter fraud organization in history-- ask Joe Biden, he was bragging about it.  He said he didn't need our votes to become president.  He was right.  He knew the extent of the voter fraud organization created by the Democrats.  He knew what they had planned.  They know they can't win a legitimate election.  They have to cheat.

Despite the massive evidence of voter fraud in this election, the corruption of the judicial system and state governments -- and let's not forget the media -- swept it under the rug.  There's nothing to see here.  And gullible idiots believe it.

It reminds me of a couple stories in The Book of Mormon.  I always wondered why such stories were in a book of Scripture.  Now I know.  There are so many parallels from stories in The Book of Mormon to what's going on in our world today.

I'm not much of a scriptorian, but here are a couple examples.

First is the story of Amlici (Around 87 BC).  I've mentioned this story a couple of times before. I did a whole post about it on November 11, 2020.  Go read it.  But here's a summary.

Alma 2: 7-9

7 And it came to pass that the voice of the people came against Amlici, that he was not made king over the people.

8 Now this did cause much joy in the hearts of those who were against him; but Amlici did stir up those who were in his favor to anger against those who were not in his favor.

9 And it came to pass that they gathered themselves together, and did consecrate Amlici to be their king.

Amlici stole the kingdom by his cunning fraud.  Sound familiar? 

How does the story end? Amlici and his evil people made war against the righteous Nephites and lost.

Here's another example.

Amalickiah was a Nephite traitor (Around 70 BC) who wanted to be King.  He deceived the people and lead many away from the church by flattery. He fled with his followers and joined the Lamanite army.  (The Nephites were the good guys and the Lamanites were the bad guys.)  Amalickiah became head of the Lamanite army.  He seeks to overthrow the Lamanite king. 

Alma 47:4

Now behold, this was the desire of Amalickiah; for he being a very subtle man to do evil therefore he laid the plan in his heart to dethrone the king of the Lamanites.

Amalickiah devised a plan to kill the king.

Alma 47:22-24

22 But behold, as the king came out to meet him Amalickiah caused that his servants should go forth to meet the king. And they went and bowed themselves before the king, as if to reverence him because of his greatness.

23 And it came to pass that the king put forth his hand to raise them, as was the custom with the Lamanites, as a token of peace, which custom they had taken from the Nephites.

24 And it came to pass that when he had raised the first from the ground, behold he stabbed the king to the heart; and he fell to the earth.

Then, Amalickiah pretended to be angry and blamed the king's servants for killing him. He said that anyone who loved the king should pursue the king's servants to kill them for killing the king.

Alma 47:30

And the army which pursued after them returned, having pursued after them in vain; and thus Amalickiah, by his fraud, gained the hearts of the people.

Amalickiah then deceived the queen by the fraudulent testimony of his servants.

Alma 47:34

And it came to pass that Amalickiah took the same servant that slew the king, and all them who were with him, and went in unto the queen, unto the place where she sat; and they all testified unto her that the king was slain by his own servants; and they said also: They have fled; does not this testify against them? And thus they satisfied the queen concerning the death of the king. 

In order to obtain the kingdom, Amalickiah, by his cunning fraud, married the queen and became king.

Alma 47:35

And it came to pass that Amalickiah sought the favor of the queen, and took her unto him to wife; and thus by his fraud, and by the assistance of his cunning servants, he obtained the kingdom; yea, he was acknowledged king throughout all the land, among all the people of the Lamanites... 

He stirred up the Lamanites against the Nephites.

Alma 48:1

And now it came to pass that, as soon as Amalickiah had obtained the kingdom he began to inspire the hearts of the Lamanites against the people of Nephi; yea, he did appoint men to speak unto the Lamanites from their towers, against the Nephites.

So, he is instigating war to obtain the lands of the Nephites, thus gaining more power and control.

Alma 48:7

Now it came to pass that while Amalickiah had thus been obtaining power by fraud and deceit, Moroni, on the other hand, had been preparing the minds of the people to be faithful unto the Lord their God. 

While Amalickiah used fraud and deceit to obtain power and the kingdom, Moroni prepared to defend liberty and freedom by following God and trusting Him.

Amalickiah "did not care for the blood of his people" (Alma 49:10).  The Lamanites fought Moroni and the Nephites with much bloodshed and loss of life.  The Nephites win the war.  When Amalickiah was told that his armies could not defeat the Nephites, he was not concerned with the loss of his people amid all the bloodshed, he was only concerned with losing.

Alma 49:26-28

26 And it came to pass that he was exceedingly angry with his people, because he had not obtained his desire over the Nephites; he had not subjected them to the yoke of bondage.

27 Yea, he was exceedingly wroth, and he did curse God, and also Moroni, swearing with an oath that he would drink his blood; and this because Moroni had kept the commandments of God in preparing for the safety of his people.

28 And it came to pass, that on the other hand, the people of Nephi did thank the Lord their God, because of his matchless power in delivering them from the hands of their enemies.

 Amalickiah was "exceedingly angry" that he could not take away the freedoms of the Nephites.  He was "exceedingly wroth" that Moroni and the Nephites kept the commandments of God.

Sounds like the Democrats versus President Trump and his army of patriots.  There are so many parallels between Amlici and Amalickiah and their philosophies and strategies and the Democrats.  I'm not going to name one because they are all evil, power hungry, angry people. 

Democrats don't care about their people.  They have no morals.  They will do anything to obtain power.  They use fraud, they use lies, they use secret combinations to attain power and control.  They become exceedingly angry when they don't get what they want.  And even when they do, they are still angry.  They curse God and anyone who follows Him.  Just like Amalickiah.

What is the common thread amongst power-hungry fraudsters?  Anger.  Amlici and Amalickiah both stirred up anger amongst their followers to incite war against the Nephites.  Democrats do the same thing.  They spread lies to stir up anger in their followers.

Classic evil versus good.  Evil Amlicites versus good Nephites.  Evil Lamanites versus good Nephites.  Evil Amalickiah versus good Moroni.  Evil Democrats versus good President Trump and good American patriots.

I will liken Moroni to President Trump.  They both defended freedom and had faith in and trusted God.  They both wanted to do what's right and good.  They both worked tirelessly to defend truth and freedom.  They were both righteous leaders.

We now have a bumbling idiot in the White House, Joe Biden, who is really merely a puppet for the Democrat machine.  He is an illegitimate president who obtained his office by fraud and cunning deceit.

Much like Amlici and Amalickiah, Joe Biden is evil and will not succeed.  Yes, he will do a lot of damage during his fraudulent tenure as president of the United States of America.  But this is the Lord's promised land.  Our Constitution may hang by a thread, but it will remain intact.

God is in charge.  He knows what He's doing.  We may not understand why He is allowing this evil, fraudulent effort to prevail.  But He does.  Perhaps the same reason why He allowed Amlici and Amalickiah to fraudulently obtain their kingdoms.  Just remember to keep the faith and trust in God.

Although fraud is winning the battle, freedom will win the war!

That's my two cents.
