A New Political Party to Set Things in Order for God

 This morning I woke up with the idea:  A new Party.

ARE YOU GETTING TIRED OF THE DONKEY WHICH MAKES A LYING-"ASS-DROPPING" OUT OF EVERYTHING, AND THE ELEPHANT, WHICH IS SLOW TO REALLY CLEAN UP THE SWAMP, INCLUDING THOSE IN THEIR OWN RHINO RANKS?

HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT ABOUT PUTTING GOD OR JESUS CHRIST IN THE WRITE-IN SECTION ON YOUR PRESIDENTIAL BALLOT, BUT THEN REMEMBERED THAT SIGNING THAT WRITE-IN WOULD HAVE NO 'PRACTICAL' VALUE IN TERMS OF A CANDIDATE?  {If we had righteous candidates who represent God then it WOULD be more practical.}  Are you getting to the point of realizing that our current politics is a sinking ship?

ARE YOU SAD ABOUT THE MONEY STILL BEING USED TOO MUCH FOR DEEP STATE ACTIVITIES?  Let's remove the lobbying-type systems that are enabling politicians to make back room deals which foster greed and unrighteousness.  Let's get corrupt leaders have speedier due process of law, and get them fined and put into prison.

Let's vet the process more rigorously for candidate selection, which will aside from talent will include morals, honesty, and integrity as part of its list!

I envision this party as one which honors the Constitution, but takes it to the next level, consolidating righteousness, and addressing modern problems which exist today.

Let's make prayer publicly accessible.  I understand that not everyone will belong to the same faith.  I envision Utah or the Mormon Corridor states raising the bar on everything!

Let's preserve physical currency (never allowing digital currency to dominate the rights of the people!  Let's not allow social credit scores and electronic surveillance to destroy the peace and rights of the people!  Let's promote the gold standard which would include the use of precious metals and less precious metals promoted and preserved as part of our physical currency.  This does all have ramifications for banking and finances.  This will be done in steps.

More being done to eradicate drugs and heal drug addictions, and prevent drug addictions in our state and country!

Medical freedom and integrity.  

Money allocated for research to standardize organic herbal treatments.  Promotion of insurance systems which will pay for treatments leading to true health.

Revamp our school and public health systems to get the filth out.  God-like people know what the filth is being put into people's minds.

As part of health, those who wish to remain in our Zion-like States can find the right treatment to overcome, for instance, the neurosis of LGBTQ, as we were not designed to be that way.  Money for funding some health research without corruption.  Health money will also be allocated towards public health campaigns which promote integrity of the body and mind.  Remember when X decades ago they started with Just So No to drugs, and smoking or alcohol cessation?  These new suggestions and issues will be the next generation of cleaning up the physical, mental, and spiritual health of the people.

Do more to promote healthy entertainment, deemphasizing and removing entertainment which is not in the best interests of the people.  Also, to promote honest media reporting!! -- criminalizing more speedily, lying of our leaders in politics, business (etc), and promoting in the public eye and business sense-- any News station which will broadcast the truth about events.

Opening up pathways to encourage moral behavior and impose fines for immoral behavior after repeated failure.  This would be a process.  Now there is little to support moral behavior other than Houses of Faith (some of them) because our current system does very little to curtail adultery, fornication, living together without commitment, does little to educate about marriage and preparation for marriage, does not tell the truth about LGBTQ dysfunction (nor foster true healing from that).  Things need to change to encourage more education where in the evils of immorality can be explained from real stories of misery and what immoral practices cost our nation.  Sexual education needs to be reformed!  Anyways, I envision money being used to promote education which encourages moral living.

There are likely a lot more ideas to put to paper.  All good ideas need to be set down utilized in all areas of politics, governance, business, and life.  We want Utah to be the First state to start this movement.  A person may say, Well, what about the Constitution Party?  Although religious people are signed up on their rolls, I doubt that the Constitution Party, because it is also national, would subscribe to all the tenets of Zion, or even tenets of morality because they just focus of the Constitution, which allows no faith to coexist with faith, meaning that the law will only go so far, and will hold back somewhat when it comes to faith.  I just think it's the right thing to do to bring a higher level, to "think Celestial" even in politics, and then we can be the example of a people that bows its knee (or is trying hard to do so) to the governance of Christ the Messiah both in private and public. 

Zion or Bust!  

The Zion Party.  This is not to be confused with the negative sayings about Zionism of the Middle East, but it's the real meaning of Zion which is a place of righteousness and pureness of heart.  Zion comes from Tzion (Hebrew) which means a place of righteousness.  An Alternate name would be the Deseret Party.

It would be interesting to see how many LDS General Authorities, especially when approached, would join the party, and who would oppose it.

Here's information about party for others states in the Mormon Corridor:

If your state is not listed, just do an internet search term, How to form a political party in {...} 

This is to lay the foundation for change.  Good will come out of the process of forming a new party, in my opinion because it will raise public awareness just by going out to get signatures.  If not for Washington DC then it's just for the areas where the good people want to gather and see governance done by honest and upright people.  

The Republican party is still too swampy and isn't vetting its candidates enough nor vetting the money trail and train.  The Democrat party is words I won't type here.  The Libertarians condone too much wickedness (not just freedom).  Etc.  DJT is just one man and he also, has lived a life with some behaviors which were unbecoming.  We need someone better than him.  I don't necessarily expect enough ground-work to be laid before the November 2024 elections, but it's time to do something to raise the bar, and try!!!!  In the current system people are allowed to change parties back and forth within X days before an election, so if your preferred candidate is in one of the mainstream parties, you can still participate in a New party of which I speak and still vote for your preferred this time around.  Please don't use a certain preferred candidate as an excuse to not move forward in righteousness!

I'm just here at the computer.  Don't expect me to do it all.  Righteous brave priesthood holders especially, and other good people of both genders and faiths need to step up to the plate.   My spouse has a lot of patriotic friends.  Someone that is good at hosting a Zoom meeting can do so, and a party platform statement can be established, a logo can be made over the course of several meetings.  Bonus points for putting the message out to moral lawyers (those who understand and believe in the Constitution and are grounded in spiritual, Biblical and Book of Mormon concepts of freedom and governance).  Etc..

Please contact me via https://gatheringzion.com and find the contact page (i.e. look at the website too)  Or just go straight to the contact page  (scroll down on it to the Contact form.) https://gatheringzion.com/about-us-contact   I can advertise a Zoom meeting on my website, or let others know if interest in this has traction, or... it can definitely be done through other social media.  My plate is already full as they say, but I was given the inspiration to get others going on this project.  

A lot of this reasoning and process is to start to consolidate righteous people together out of the corrupt political systems.  It's not going to happen by magic.  The effort actually has to be made.  The Ensign has to be lifted up.

Community Hanukkah and President Grant's comments about Anti-Semitism

In December 2023 I went to a couple of Hanukkah community celebrations put on by the local Chabad organizations.  For those of you who don't know what Chabad is, it's a branch of Orthodox Hasidic Judaism.   As someone not raised in that faith, I will say that they have interesting articles to read on their website!  https://www.chabad.org 

There was a woman, who gave one of the speeches at this Hanukkah gathering.  She quoted former LDS President Heber J. Grant (1856-1945) (He served as president from 1918 until his death).  In part of his talk in Spring General Conference (April 1921) he spoke about the Jewish people.  

He said, "Some of you may be familiar with the agitation that is going on at the present time, in the publications, against Jewish people.  There should be no ill-will, and I am sure there is none, in the heart of any true Latter-day Saint, toward the Jewish people.  By the authority of the Holy Priesthood of God, that has again been restored to the earth, and by the ministration, under the direction of the Prophet of God, Apostles of the Lord Jesus Christ have been to the Holy Land and have dedicated that country for the return of the Jews;  and we believe that in the due time of the Lord they shall be in the favor of God again.  And let no Latter-day Saint be guilty of taking any part in any crusade against these people.  I believe in no other part of the world is there as good a feeling in the hearts of mankind towards the Jewish people as among the Latter-day Saints."  From Page 124 of the LDS Church General Conference record, 91st Annual General Conference, April 1921.  

First Night of Hanukkah, 2023, in the Utah State Capitol Building

There were several speakers, one of whom was from the Holocaust era.  Another lady played beautiful music on a grand piano.  After the meeting ended, there was opportunity to meet and talk with people, eat the Jewish desserts, or take a picture by the Menorah (Chanukiah).  My guest and I met one lady from Israel who was here on military assignment, a really nice man who spoke to me like family, and some of the event organizers.  I hope to go again next year.

On the 6th night of Hanukkah, I went to another location to a city within an hour away, but unfortunately the traffic was so bad, and the weather wasn't the best, so I got there right about when it ended; it was a shorter ceremony.  However, not to waste the opportunity, I still went in and took pictures and spoke to a few people.

The Outdoor Ambience

6th Night of Hanukkah with the Servant Candle in the Middle.  

Lights under the Light.  Or is that the All-Seeing Eye of the Capitol?  Lol.

A Star of David in the marble floor.  Not just for Hanukkah, but for as long as the life of the floor. This is a public building but the builders had lofty ideals of the unification of the Tribes of Israel.

A Bank for Righteous People / Goldbacks, Gold

Here in the Intermountain West, in this state, Gold is considered legal tender, if needed.

Have you heard of the Goldback?  It's a currency that is made into similar sizes as denominated dollar bills.  It is made of some kind of sturdy laminate ("polymer sheeting") with real gold infused into the polymer, by a calculated portion of a troy ounce of gold.   The value of the individual Goldback is tethered to the market value of gold.

The purpose of the Goldback is to be used in smaller transactions than the typical value of a Gold coin.

https://www.goldback.com/how-goldbacks-are-made  

Some businesses have agreed to take Goldback in commercial transactions.

One Goldback, embedded with 1/1,000th of a Troy Oz of 24 karat gold.

Actual Size

~4.625in (~11.74cm)

~2.57in (~6.53cm)

In the website's FAQs (frequently asked questions), it says,  "The Goldback may be owned by individuals in any State, however, Goldbacks would only qualify as an actual currency where authorized by local or state law."

FYI: Sometimes people accept Goldback in a transaction regardless of legal standing because gold in and of itself, has value.

Several states already have Goldback:  Utah, Nevada, New Hampshire, Wyoming, and South Dakota.  Other States could be in the works in the future, and the company will consider working with individuals who want to see Goldbacks in their State.

Also there is a lesser amount of Silverbacks.

Other places in the world have their own polymer golden currency.  See https://valaurum.com/

Legal Tender in Ghana

Anyways, this post isn't just about Goldbacks or Silverbacks.  Other people may prefer the ownership of gold or silver coinage.  I would not recommend buying gold or silver on paper and then not having it in your physical possession.

Anyways, I am not necessarily pushing Goldback or Silverback.  I am just talking about Goldback to show that a small group of people got an idea about it, and did something!  We all know that the Dollar is not what it used to be!  

It would be cool if a bunch of righteous people could get together, and somehow, get a large amount of precious metals and lower metals (for currency under One Dollar), and mint a large amount of these coins (with security of course to protect the assets), and get a bank chain going out here in the West, to introduce a larger amount of precious (non inflationary metals) into the community.  But this bank would be run under different rules:  Only good people can open an account (with some kind of background check to assure that the people aren't likely to use the gold for greed, drugs, and other things which are harmful for the human race).  Large amounts would only be loaned out by a loan officer who will check out the reason for the loan (proof produced).  People could exchange their US currency for precious metals, and then the Bank owners could use the US currency to buy up land and other wise commodities to help the people of their State.

The purpose of allowing only decent people to do this should be obvious, but in case it isn't, people who use money to do things that are bad for themselves and bad for others, is one of the things that leads to society being sick, especially when it comes to greediness, crime, and rich and poor.  Gold is precious.  Why put a monetary precious item into the hands of greedy, spiritually sick people?  They won't do good with it.  We need only good and charitable-minded people to have such wealth.

Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem - (and the Middle East, etc) - Psalm 122:6

Doctrine and Covenants 19: 26-27 And again, I command thee that thou shalt not ^acovet thine own property, but impart it freely to the printing of the Book of Mormon, which contains the ^btruth and the word of God—

27 Which is my word to the ^aGentile, that soon it may go to the ^bJew, of whom the Lamanites are a ^cremnant, that they may believe the gospel, and look not for a ^dMessiah to come who has already come.

2 Nephi 29: 3-5 And because my words shall hiss forth—many of the Gentiles shall say: A ^aBible! A Bible! We have got a Bible, and there cannot be any more Bible.

4 But thus saith the Lord God: O fools, they shall have a ^aBible; and it shall proceed forth from the ^bJews, mine ancient covenant people. And what ^cthank they the ^dJews for the Bible which they receive from them? Yea, what do the Gentiles mean? Do they remember the travails, and the labors, and the pains of the Jews, and their diligence unto me, in bringing forth salvation unto the Gentiles?

5 O ye Gentiles, have ye remembered the Jews, mine ancient covenant people? Nay; but ye have ^acursed them, and have ^bhated them, and have not sought to recover them. But behold, I will return all these things upon your own heads; for I the Lord have not forgotten my people.

D&C 98: 16-17 Therefore, ^arenounce war and proclaim peace, and seek diligently to ^bturn the hearts of the children to their fathers, and the hearts of the fathers to the children;

17 And again, the hearts of the ^aJews unto the prophets, and the prophets unto the Jews; lest I come and smite the whole earth with a curse, and all flesh be consumed before me.

2 Nephi 29: 1 But behold, there shall be many—at that day when I shall proceed to do a ^amarvelous work among them, that I may remember my ^bcovenants which I have made unto the children of men, that I may set my hand again the ^csecond time to recover my people, which are of the house of Israel;

2 Nephi 30:  7-8 And it shall come to pass that the ^aJews which are scattered also shall ^bbegin to believe in Christ; and they shall begin to gather in upon the face of the land; and as many as shall believe in Christ shall also become a delightsome people.

8 And it shall come to pass that the Lord God shall commence his work among all nations, kindreds, tongues, and people, to bring about the ^arestoration of his people upon the earth.

Zechariah 14: 1-9 Behold, the ^aday of the Lord cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.

2 For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to ^abattle; and the city shall be taken, and the ^bhouses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.

3 Then shall the Lord go forth, and ^afight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.

4 ¶ And his ^afeet shall ^bstand in that day upon the ^cmount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.

5 And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the ^aearthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the Lord my God shall come, and all the ^bsaints with thee.  {See also Jude 1:14-19, Deut 33:2.  The saints are the general assembly of heaven}

6 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the ^alight shall not be clear, nor dark:

7 But it shall be one day which shall be known to the Lord, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light.

8 And it shall be in that day, that ^aliving ^bwaters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be.

9 And the Lord shall be ^aking over all the earth: in that day shall there be one Lord, and his name one.

Zechariah 13: 8-9  And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the Lord, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be ^aleft therein. {2/3 of all the land will die}

9 {1/3 will be purified and will survive} And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will ^arefine them as silver is refined, and will ^btry them as gold is ^ctried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my ^dpeople: and they shall say, The Lord is my God.

Zechariah 12: 10 {They discover their True Messiah and give their lives to Him} And I will ^apour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of ^bgrace and of supplications: and they shall ^clook upon me whom they have ^dpierced, and they shall ^emourn for him, as one mourneth for his ^fonly son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.  Zechariah 13:1  In that day there shall be a ^afountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and for uncleanness.
