Yes I agree, we have been mostly won over by the deductive system of Satan, allowing the Smarties to run our lives, relying on the arm of flesh, and not following the Holy Ghost. How do we get back to the True System, in light of such a dependence of our people on the Evil System?
Let’s get deeper into this, from a true perspective. Lots of reading ahead and lots of intelligence ahead.

WORK Together By The LAW
…to get right to the point … “What is Work?”
If one were to ask almost anyone, “How do the People of the World ‘Work Together’?” probably nearly everyone who is asked might be expected to say something like, “Well, the World Works Together by ‘Money.’” And, although that might be the nearly spontaneous response of nearly everyone, if we just look at the way that the World in fact does operate, today, we see that that specific “old” answer is, technically, what might be thought of as a sort of a ridiculous kind of a thing in actual circumstances today.
In North America today over 90% of the volume of “financial transactions” takes place “electronically,” by credit cards etc. Less than 10% of all of those transactions take place by the inventions of the Medieval, North Europeans’ Ancestral Free Enterprise System, which they named with the South European names of, “bills and notes.” But, technically, those medieval inventions are also not “money.” Technically, “Money,” the medium through which those in the Ancient, Pagan Greeks and Romans’ Empires “worked together,” meant, “metallic Coins.” And almost everybody knows, except for making it possible to count out “small change,” today, how relatively “irrelevant,” in relation to overall financial values, the role had by metallic Coins is today.
As dealt with at length in the 1,000-page Course, the name, “Money,” was the name of the Chief Pagan Goddess of the Ancient, Pagan Romans. The original name, Moneta, came down through the Middle Ages as, “Monetary,” “Money” etc. And, since the Romans figured out how to get that part of their Ancient, Pagan way of working together to be able to survive, the ordinary “man on the street,” today, will say that the people of the World “work together,” today, by Money.
To see how “ridiculous” that is today, in relation to overall financial values, we can look at the reality of the way that the People of the World Work Together today. The main one of the many types of metallic Coins, which the Ancient, Pagan Romans operated with, was Gold Coins. This had the effect that it had on people living in Western Europe ― where no “minable” Gold had ever been found ― of them traveling to and through Ancient, Pagan Rome to get the Gold Coins that came there from the Gold Mines of nearby Asia Minor, which came to Southern Italy through Greece.
However, today, if all of the Gold ― such as the Ancient Southern Europeans worked together by ― that has ever been mined, in the History of the World (and that includes all of the Gold that has ever been made into Dental Fillings, Jewelry etc., so much of which is in graves, today, or is otherwise “inaccessible”) were to be divided up equally among everybody alive today in the World’s Current Population of near to 6,500,000,000 persons, that would only amount to an allotment of a few hundred dollars worth of Gold, one time, that would be allotted to each person (every man, woman and child) who is alive today. There would be no more Gold to ever let that be repeated.
Today the People of the World work together by the most valuable thing in the World that they know of. It is by the “Wealth” of the People of Northern Europe.
In the History of the People of Northern Europe, when one “heal-s,” the result is “heal-th”; if a person “steal-s” (through the shadows), that person creates “steal-th.” The essence of the way that the People of the North European Race have always “worked together,” has to do with “Voting.” The word that has always been used among the Languages of Northern Europe for, “to Vote,” has always been, “Weal.” When a person, “votes,” “weal-s,” in the North European People’s History, that person created, “Weal-th.” Of course “voting” was not an historic issue among the people of Southern Europe where, for example, ½ of the Populations of the Pagan Greek and Roman Empires were Slaves. Slavery was, historically, unknown among the North European Race.
The type of “Stock” that Workers among the North European People received for doing their “Work,” in the “Business” they worked for, is called, today, “Common Stock.” That means that it is “Voting” Stock. That is a large part of what the North European People called their, “Weal-th.” The cover story of the Time Magazine for December 29, 1997, mentioned (on page 50 of that edition) that on the Internet, every day, at that time, 15 Trillion Dollars worth of Voting Stock, or Wealth, was exchanged (in that year of 1997, that was then concluding). That amounts to over $2,300 every day for every Man, Woman and Child alive, at that time, in a World Population of 6,500,000,000. That is, that amount of North European “Wealth” was exchanged every day. So, that value is part of the very significant value, for every person alive today, that is utilized every day. That is how WORK happens among the People of the World today.
Some people might ask, “I wonder why we don’t hear more about such things?” An answer to that is that those who came into a control over what the World has, historically, called the Ancient Pagan Greeks and Romans’ concept of, “Money,” seem to feel that it is in their interest if they can just keep people, in relation to it, in the “Mental Environment” in which the Ancient Pagan Greeks and Romans operated.
“And, what kind of a ‘Mental Environment’ was that?” It is the Mental Environment that maintains that the ONLY WAY THAT THE HUMAN RACE CAN OPERATE IS THE WAY THAT THE LEADERSHIP OF THE ANCIENT PAGAN GREEKS AND ROMANS’ GOVERNMENTS PRODUCED THEIR MONEY TO CONTROL THE WAY THAT PEOPLE “WORKED TOGETHER.”
“And, that is not Working Together By The Law?” No, it is not.
Working by Satan’s System under the Gross Darkness of his deceptions is not a way to Work Together, but we have almost completely bought into this evil system controlling our minds.

We all sort of sense that that super organization can’t really be the U.N., because the U.N. is relatively new and the super organization (whatever it may be — tangibly) is old. There is such an organization. It rules the earth at this time.
“Is it good or bad?” When it fails we have World War.
“Well, whatever it is, it is for certain that we cannot let it fail. What is it that we all could do that would insure that it will not fail?”
It is the burden of this Book to show people that by knowing and living the Look Doctrine (Alma 37:46) they are in a position to show the human race how to save itself from the TEMPORAL destruction waiting below the chasm edge it teeters on. It will show the author’s finding that lack of knowledge of the Look Doctrine (Alma 37:46) is the precise historical reason for the murderous blindness that has characterized the world-scale undertakings of men in this age we call the “modern” one.
As an element in the introductory words of this book, mention was made of “Protestantism.”
Men speak glibly of “Protestantism,” as though it were nothing more than perhaps shallow thinking on the part of some worshipers assembled in a typical neighborhood in Northern Europe or North America. However, the point at issue in what is normally considered the commencement of Protestantism is the point upon which depends the material well-being of all modern life on Earth; it is the point where the philosophy of Communism erred in its conception; it was the whole point at issue as the Wars of Religion tore the lands of our European forebears (or at least predecessors, as the case may be) to pieces for a hundred years and is traceably the problem behind World War.
“What is this point behind Protestantism that is so fraught with significance?”
In exasperation at what he saw as Catholicism’s callous brazenness, Luther broached the issue as he took his pen in hand and wrote the words expressing the stand beyond which exploited people in Northern Europe would not allow themselves to be pushed. He wrote, “An den christlischen Edel deutscher Nation um den christlischen Standes Zustand”. “To the Christian nobility of the German nation concerning the status of THE CHRISTIAN STATE.”
“The Christian State!” “What in the world might ‘the Christian State’ be?”
In one way Catholicism almost won total victory in expunging from the mind of modern Americans what the “Christian State” of Northern Europe was. On the reverse of that coin, though, the working force of that “Christian State” is the “super organization” that holds together the material well-being of all human life on this planet at this date.
“How could any institution be so important to the well-being of the human race and yet be so non-understood?”
That is a question best answered in a place other than a book of this one’s specific nature. What is appropriate to address in a book of this nature, though, is the question, “What is the Christian State?” and by the answer to that question provide a matrix wherein the reader is at liberty to form his own opinion of what the significance of the Christian State may be.
The “Christian State”
In a number of ways the organization of England is typical of that of the other lands of the north of Europe. And, since it is most understandable to us because of the feature of a common tongue, it can serve as a model to teach us what this Christian State was that Luther stepped forward to defend against the onslaught of Catholic policy in his day.
England is divided into Shires such as the Provinces into which Canada is divided or the States of the USA. A Shire in England is then divided into subdivisions called, “Hundreds” in the south of England, “Wapentakes” in the east and, “Wards” in the north. Since it was in these Units that the Common Law Juries of the Middle Ages met, every three months, in medieval England, and, if the central feature of an American “County” still is that it is what has a County Courthouse wherein a Jury meets every three months, then these subdivisions in England are what correspond to Counties in the USA.
These subdivisions of England are further divided down into what today are called, “Civil Parishes.” In the Middle Ages these were just called, “Parishes,” by the government. They were the extensions of land drawing those who dwelt thereon to a common church meetinghouse. Since the people attending took the communion of the Lord’s Supper, Catholics preferred to call these Parishes, “Communes.” That expression survived in everyday English as, “Commons” — as in, “the House of Commons.” To the man on the street, however, these small divisions of England were always called, “Townships”; and it is as such that they were transplanted to this Continent, as the strong political divisions of Counties in New England, the weak political divisions of Counties of the Midwestern States and as the, generally, unorganized patterns for real-estate division in some Southern and most Western States.
This was the organization of the countryside in both England and medieval Northern Europe generally. It was the organization of the medieval English farmer and was the organization brought across the seas to serve as the basic pattern for governmental organization in the USA. However, although Luther may have had much concern for this aspect of the medieval “Christian State,” as well, it was for the fate of the medieval Christian State as it existed in the cities of Northern Europe, for which he appealed to the leaders who at length led the people of Northern Europe in defense of their liberties to war.
Since the origin of the original Thirteen States was in the bitter finale to the wars of religion in Northern Europe, where the wars were seen as caused by an attack on the Christian State as practiced in the cities of Northern Europe, it is understandable why a matter that was so explosive at that time was not transplanted across the seas to America. It is a commentary on the almost inconceivable forces at work in our World, on the other hand, that so powerful a matter as this one should be first introduced to the minds of most of the people who read this Book, at the time they do so. But, be that as it may, let us now read about the Christian State of the Cities of Northern Europe.
The Christian State of the Cities of Northern Europe
As we were able to use the organization of the countryside of England as an example to show us the organization of the countryside of Northern Europe generally, so we will find the organization of the medieval cities of Northern Europe in general shown us very well by the organization of medieval London.
The word “city” is an Italian word in origin and most correctly cannot be applied to those Northern Municipalities, especially in the significance about which we are now speaking. They were called, “burgs,” in most of the countries where they were located. The English word brought to the USA is, “boroughs.”
The “burg” of medieval London had the same organization as a “shire” out in the countryside. Just as some governmental matters in a shire were presided over by a “shire-reeve” or “sheriff,” so were some such matters in London presided over by a “Sheriff of London.” And, just as the Shires of Northern England are divided into “Wards,” so is London divided into “Wards.” This feature is very familiar since the division of an American city into Municipal “Wards” has been the typical thing to do in city organization in the USA. Furthermore, the leadership of each of the Wards of London (shire), by an “Alderman,” is a similar thing to the office, called “Alderman,” of the elected leader of a municipal Ward in many American cities. But, at this point similarities end, and the phenomenon of the Christian State begins, as regards the medieval cities of the north of Europe.
In the Middle Ages the inhabitants of a typical “Ward,” of a “Burg,” were all practitioners of the same “craft” or profession. That the members of that craft, living in the Ward, should call themselves a “brotherhood,” is not too far from the practice of the modern labor union; but the formalities that allowed one to become a member of the brotherhood, totally taken for granted in those days, bring us face to face with the Christian State. Just as the Wards of a countryside Shire were divided into Parishes (sometimes called, “Communes”), so were the Wards of London. However, where the typical countryside parish would contain a number of square miles of countryside, occupied by scattered farmsteads, a London Parish would only contain a few square blocks (remember that in those days there was theoretically only one organization of Christians and that all were expected to attend Church service).
A man was eligible to join his craft brotherhood as he joined the brotherhood of all Christian believers through the formal ceremonies of his Parish. Most importantly, from the vantage point of the doctrine treated by this Book, he was able to retain the right to continued participation in his brotherhood as long as he maintained his hold on the basic ethics of the brotherhood. “What were these ethics?” The basic ethics of Christianity, again, totally taken for granted.
Just as the brotherhood, or “craft gild” as it was generally called, was presided over by the Alderman of the Ward (as was apparently also a general thing for countryside Wards in earlier times), so the Alderman was assisted by a Jury of twelve “Wardens” who, in addition to performing the same duties toward the people of their Ward that the Juries of countryside Wards performed, also involved themselves, as masters of the craft in question, on the question of the ETHICAL ADEQUACY OF THE WORK of the brotherhood’s members. “How crucial to you and me was this labor of these thousands or millions of our medieval forebears, so involved in the Christian scruple of the maintenance of human life alive, well and happy?” The body of verdicts handed down by countryside Juries, since the Magna Carta, is the Common Law of England: the law vouching safe the Life, Liberty and Property of the English Free Man, transplanted to this hemisphere by the early English Colonists. “What was it that the Verdicts of the Juries of these Wardens of the Crafts of the Wards of the Burgs of Northern Europe gave to the world?” The Free Enterprise System.
The System
The typical American will feel a sense of pride in and loyalty to the Free Enterprise System. However, if asked to explain the System, at work, the typical response is silence or a group of words generally invented on the spot. School teaching on the subject is most mute. If we typically have but a faint hold on fundamentals of the Common Law, that gives us our basic American Rights of Life, Liberty and Property, the actual System that is our beloved Free Enterprise System seems to be beyond the grasp of almost everyone.
The Free Enterprise System in forty nine of the fifty States (Louisiana is the exception) is recognized in print in the pages of the particular State’s Code of Laws dealing with Business. The “Code” of Laws of a State will normally be an encyclopedia-type set of books, that your lawyer normally finds indispensable in providing his services to you. It contains the Laws, or Statutes, passed by your State’s Legislature, since its beginning. In the part of those books dealing with business or commerce you will find a statement that will probably read like this: “In all cases not covered by these Statutes the Law Merchant shall govern.” In other words, “The ‘Law Merchant’ has wisdom to solve everything that is outside of the spectrum of the specific cases that we know how to handle and have specifically provided for to be dealt with by these statutes that we have voted into this Code.” “What, then, is the ‘Law Merchant’?”
The Law Merchant
As the history maintained by schools begins for Northern Europe, we find the men of Scandinavia involved in total War against Catholicism as then practiced. These men in those histories are called, “the Vikings.”
As these Wars cool and the Vikings make a peace with Catholicism, at about the year 1000 A.D., we find The Vikings in complete control of all shipping in the Atlantic, from the Strait of Gibraltar north. Their establishment in the area south of Leningrad gave them direct access, through Russia (founded by Vikings during the 800’s) over the Volga to the Caspian Sea, with connections to the trade routes of China and India. Shipping from the Leningrad area westward to the lands of Western Europe comes upon a convenient large island in the Baltic Sea. It is the island of Gotland. It seems that from very early times all of the men involved in this shipping, from Gibraltar north, found the Burg of Wisby, on the west shore of Gotland, to be the most important port in all of their commerce. However that might have been, they had a Parliament of Commerce there to which Representatives came from Viking settlements everywhere. In conjunction with that “international” Parliament of Commerce these seafarers and merchants had a Supreme Court of Business, also maintained at Wisby. The island was just off that part of Sweden called “Gothland”; and Gotland is part of Gothland. This organization of all Viking seafarers and merchants was called by the Gothic name, “Hansa.”
For centuries before 1150 A.D. Germany did not extend to any shore of the Baltic Sea. All of the sea trade of the shores of the Baltic were controlled by Scandinavians. However, in 1145 A.D., Germans built a city on a long inlet from the Baltic that was very close to Hamburg. That allowed Germans to control trade from that inlet of the Baltic Sea to Hamburg on the North Sea. Because of that connection the new city on the Baltic gradually replaced Wisby as the center of trade for North Europe. As it did the new city, Lubeck, Germany, eventually came to hold most of the annual Parliaments of the Businessmen of Northern Europe there in Lubeck.
The Germans retained the name “Hansa” and most of the practices of the Wisby Parliament, but restricted representation in the Lubeck dominated Parliament to, primarily, the cities of Northern Germany. However, they also allowed continued representation from the major cities on the south shore of the Baltic (from Leningrad south) along with some of their inland supply points, a few cities in Holland and Sweden and from their four largest depots: London, Novgorod in Russia, Bergen in Norway and Bruges, Belgium.
In the earlier days, appeals by businessmen to the Verdicts of their Wardens was to the Supreme Court at Wisby. For one thing this produced a uniform Code for all seafarers called, “The Wisby Sea Laws.” These are the Laws for Shipping around the World to this day.
Later on, in the Lubeck days, the Hansa changed in a most significant way. The one Gild that dealt with the largest amount of money, the Merchants’ Gild, came to dominate life in the Burgs of the Lubeck Hansa. The Merchants continued most of their practices of the earlier days, but restricted involvement therein nearly exclusively to themselves. This involvement produced the Law Merchant, as is used today by all of the Countries in the World and IS that which is called, “International Law.”
A quick insight into its operation can, once again, be seen by English practice. If a dispute arose between a Hansa merchant and an English merchant, then, by a statute of 1313, six Hansa merchants and six English merchants were called, on the spot, to form a hasty Jury and decide the point of International Law at issue immediately.
This trust of weighty matters to a hasty Jury (as well as the whole idea of a twelve-man Jury, so aligned with the religious beliefs of the people) was an evidence of the most profound presupposition that is given as the chief distinctive point of the Law Merchant.
The heart of the Free Enterprise System, as it existed down to the end of the Middle Ages, was that “among merchants GOOD FAITH was PARAMOUNT” — see “The Romance of the Law Merchant,” by Wyndham A. Bewes, London, 1923, page 19.
Good Faith
The expression “good faith” is a “double entendre”: it can be understood in two different ways. The usual way to consider it is as the sincerity of a person operating within a recognized way of life. The second, however, is infinitely more fraught with significance: it is the absolute truth of that way of life. It was this second way of understanding “good faith” that Catholicism attacked so decisively around the year 1500 A.D. They asked the Hansa and the part of Europe most attached to the Gild System, Germanic Europe in general, what “good” faith was. Germanic Europe had no unified answer and collapsed into its subsequent disunity.
Catholic Europe had a reason to attack the understanding of Northern Europeans as to exactly what it was that GOOD faith was. The Turks were advancing up the east coast of the Adriatic Sea toward Italy. Italians wanted all Europeans united under a dictator powerful enough to fight the Turks successfully. The Hansa was prone to let the South Europeans fight the Turks. It was advantageous to Catholic parties to break up the Hansa. Also, America had just been discovered. The Pope had given all of it to very Catholic Spain and Portugal. The Hansa had the largest navy in Europe. It could have taken over all of America if it wanted. Catholic Europe was not satisfied until the Hansa was destroyed. South European Catholic generals occupied the heartland of Hansa power, in the area of Lubeck. The Hansa shipyards vanished. The Hansa fleet vanished.
The Hansa vanished. The “chief distinctive point” of the Law Merchant, that the Merchants of North Europe had a unified idea of what the GOOD FAITH was, vanished.
Since those days when its main promoter, the Hansa, crumbled, hundreds of years ago, the Law Merchant has grown to be “International Law” for all nations. The most diverse proposals, from Communism to Nazism, have come forward as candidates to fill the void of a belief system that International Law/the Law Merchant took for granted during what is now considered its formative stage.
“What is GOOD faith?” It is faith in Our Lord and Savior. Certainly, that was understood by all Parties, when the Reformation first showed Christianity that there was a real Problem. Because of the greatness of the turmoil that was caused by that Problem even the majority of all men may have stopped caring what Good Faith in the Lord is; but that doesn’t do away with their very TEMPORAL resultant Problem.
The International Law upon which all Nations of our Modern World operate, along with, in fact, all Business in the United States of America, is the Law Merchant — devised by great numbers of very talented Christian men as they gave their Verdicts case by case throughout the Middle Ages according to their unanimous sentiment of what Good Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ required. That the smaller organizations to which they belonged collapsed is not the point. The point is that the excellence of their system won the day years ago as the Whole Earth’s System. For better or worse it IS THE System.
Now that is real intelligence!

The LAW is what it is, and the constitution is the LAW that allows or disallows certain actions The same way an oath allowed or disallowed certain actions back when oaths were the LAW. You swore by an oath just as you should swear by the constitution now. But the PTB have sworn by their own secret oaths, the same oaths sworn by cain, so our law, the constitution, means nothing now, and the rules keep changing to suit the PTB. Oaths and covenants are Gods way and until we get back to that the constitution is the next best thing, but when our leaders call it just a G.D. piece of paper like Bush did, we need to make a stand like some of us have.
LL, I do like your energy in this thought, however there is so much more to understand on this topic.
I wish we could have a modern-day Hanseatic League.
Cleon Skousen and President Benson both talked about the coming Cleansing. This we must accept as a fact.
The United States as we have always known it, will end, its operation as an organization will cease.
The Constitution of the United States will yield itself to a new constitutional creation, partially because of the Elders who have stepped forward to save the principles that are in the constitution and laws of the people. The new Constitution for the new organization that will be called Zion will be called something like, The Constitution of the Commonwealth of the Kingdom of God on Earth or perhaps just The Constitution of Zion.
The amount of blood that will be spilt in America over the birth of this new Constitution is yet to be seen. I expect the cleansing of America will have causalities that will number in the thousands if not millions. And Utah will not escape it’s share of the country’s devastations.
Getting prepared for this event and the aftermath is what I am exhausting my life over. It is foremost in my mind. Are you ready for this new era?
You can prepare to throw your body under the tank treads of the advancing New World Order. Or you can begin in some small way to “Work Together by the Law” and displace Satan’s System with The Lord’s System, even if just one family and community at a time.
God Bless,
