So why should we call it a conspiracy? It's really important. It's a documented history of worldwide secret combinations in our day, as we're going to be covering. And so this is something that Brigham Young said. He says we should not only study good and its influences upon our race, but also evil and its consequences. Again, we have to understand both what we're for and what we're against and what those threats are to what it is that we're building. In the Doctrine and Covenants, section 123, we read, Therefore we should waste and wear out our lives to bring to light all the hidden things of darkness wherein we know them.
These should then be attended to with great earnestness. So we see here that we have an obligation to expose the hidden things of darkness, those things that are dark and that are hidden in the darkness. And to help people understand what's going on and so that they can take appropriate action. Because if we don't understand it, then we're going to be involved in things that actually make things worse. And so we see in this section as well that we need to wear out our lives in exposing these things.
When you wear something out, you wear out a pair of pants. It's not because they were in the drawer folded up all nicely and never used. So it's important that we waste and wear out our lives exposing the hidden things of darkness. It's a vital principle that we go forward with that. And the scriptures, Moroni in Ether chapter 8, talks about why he was told to talk about the secret combinations. And he said that, Wherefore, I, Moroni, am commanded to write these things that evil may be done away.
So he was warning about the conspiracy that was going on in his day. He was warning about the conspiracy that was going on during the Jaredites time. And then he says, You know what? You people reading the Book of Mormon, you people that believe in it, you people that it's not just for the masses out there, that masses aren't accepting it. And it's obviously not for people in my time because they're dead. They're not reading this thing that I'm putting together.
So he says that evil has to be, this is how evil is done away. This is how Satan is bound, is by exposing the secret combination, exposing the conspiracy that he's the author of, that he's behind, that he's a part of. So Moroni in Ether chapter 8, he teaches us they exist to get power. So this helps us because we, there's no, you can't go to secretcombinations.com and look up a list of every single conspiracy organization.
You can't go to conspiracy.com and look up every single organization. And they change their names. And so we have to look past the individuals because new people come in all the time. We're not going to be looking at Adam Weishaupt today because he's dead. And, you know, these organizations, they change their names when they get exposed.
And so we have to look at the principles behind them to understand and identify them in our day. So they seek to get power. They want to get money and gain, murder, overthrow freedom of all lands, nations, and countries. So not the bloods and crypts. And bring destruction to all people.
Build global government. So when we awake to our awful situation, we are commanded that we must, one, repent of our sins, the sins specifically of allowing it to continue. Two, not allow the conspiracy to get above us anymore. Because if we don't do this, it will prove our destruction, just like it did those previous civilizations here on the American continent, we have a consequence.

Thanks, great point. It’s vital we understand what it really is if we’re going to do anything about it.

I like when you said, “They’re not the bloods and crips.” I remember one of the only mentions in the LDS Church of secret combinations in recent decades in a general conference was by M. Russell Ballard who said it was just things like gangs and terrorist organizations. No mention of governments or the international organizations that Ezra Taft Benson warned about (and of course, no mention that terrorist organizations are often creations of governments to carry out false flags for their purposes).
