PLEASE! PLEASE! Do NOT let the trees block your view of THE (MORmON) forest!
THE (MORmON) church was THE financier of THE 2002 Olympic bid bribery scandal.
HOW the Hell else can full ride scholarships to BYU for IOC official's children be explained?
And remember, these scholarships would be extended to the recipients on a PRE ecclesiastical endorsement / phony ecclesiastical endorsement basis, meaning the recipients would be assumed/ pretended to be worthy regardless of any reality EVEN IF and when they are NOT in compliance with the LDS standards that all other BYU students (, well, you know -besides the exempted football players and the other many exempted official but clandestine designated charity / reform cases at BYU), are expected to adhere to.
Its called looking the other way as required, and its also called a double standard and Hypocrisy. It can also be called the another deceitful MORmON specialty besides MORmON LYING.
It would be impossible for BYU to expel these special bribery based *scholars* with out also raising heavy concerns about such disciplinary action leading to events that would blow the cover lid right off of the shady underhanded CRIMINAL dealings of THE Church.
IF any one does not think that is true then consider this:
Funny thing, these illegitimate dirty scholarships are what blew the cover off to expose the LDS Inc MORmON involvement in the Olympic bid bribery scandal ANYWAY.
In the Fall of 1998, US president Bill Clinton was in trouble over his involvement with La Monica Lewinsky.
On Sep 8, 1998, Self considered PR Genius Gordon BS Hinckley made an appearance on Larry King Live to capitalize on Bill CLinton's troubles and to make some big PR Hay for MORmONISM at Bill Clinton's expense.
It was an absolutely spell binding pathetic performance by Hinckley. Hinckley attempted to promote himself and the MORmON church as some kind of moral pillar for society in a setting of danger due to quickly crumbling morals which then most prominently featured the shortcomings of US president Bill Clinton who had been unable to refrain from fooling around with a young female white house staff member.
In one of the most two faced phony MORmON tap dances since MORmON founder pervert Joe Smith (speaking of men fooling around with young female house staff members) had been around, PRofit "Standing for Something" Hinckley wildly beat the PR drum about how detrimental and dangerous that lax and ever slipping morals and bad behavior are to society in general while also very abruptly cutting off any specific condemnation of Bill Clinton which constituted a glaring absence of the expected and natural conclusion that Hinckley's generalized diatribe on morality would normally be a build up to. In spite of Hinckley's supposed personal devotion and dogged commitment to high moral standards and making a stand for morality, that was a stand that Hinckley was NOT actually going to make. Hinckley was going to leave that dirty work for listeners to do, expecting them to follow through even after Hinckley did not. Hinckley thinks that he and his MORmON religion are that inspiring.
Ironically Mark McGwire broke MLB's home run record that very night and that news was interjected into Larry King's ultra softball pitch interview of Hinckley. Apparently Hinckley felt that he had hit such a PR home run for morality and MORmONISM with Hinckley's appearance on Larry King Live that actually running around the bases to go to the home of actually directly condemning Clinton just was not necessary.
Leave it to MORmON Hinckley to put that much stock in his own efforts.
.....That action coming from the head of the same church that also feels it is completely justified and needed in following through to the extent of having adult priestDUD leaders pry into the personal lives of teen age boys and girls in detail in closed interviews about personal worthiness that include topics such as masturbation.
So, it seems that the willingness of MORmONISM to take a stand seems to be based a lot more on predatory opportunism than absolute commitment to principle as MORmON leaders like Hinckley would like to claim and would like to have people believe.
Its also highly doubtful that Bill Clinton, if he ever saw the Larry King / Gordon BS Hinckley interview, was relieved that Hinckley stopped short of direct condemnation of Clinton. Hinckley was definitely dragging Clinton through the mud even if Hinckley was using a long rope to do it instead of using Clinton's collar.
Clinton's reaction would have been a lot more along the lines of: Hey, jerk Hinckley, stop using my troubles as a spring board platform to boost the stature of your stupid church, If you want to do me a real favor then just keep your stupid MORmON mouth shut when it comes to mentioning my name or commenting on anything that I am dealing with.
As latter day PRofit and self appointed MORmON pillar of virtue and morality, Gordon BS Hinckley had been highly visible when it came to dealing with Bill Clinton's morality problems. Just a little while later when the moral shortcomings of Hinckley's MORmON church were exposed, Hinckley was no where to be found or seen.
Just a few days after Hinckley's appearance on Larry King Live, Salt Lake reporters Chris Vanocur and Lynn Packer revealed that they had tracked 2 millions dollars in cash that had been given to the SLOC and that in turn had been used to bribe IOC officials which had successfully brought the Olympics to Utah. The cash had been traced back to PRofit Hinckley's LDS corporation/ MORmON church.
The start of the trail for Packer and Vanocur that lead to this discovery was illegitimate BYU scholarships offered to IOC officials children.
A press conference was called, because these were allegations that LDS Inc could not ignore because they are the kind of allegations that are based in facts, facts that LDS Inc wanted to avoid challenging because such a challenge would raise the visibility of the facts.
The other wise highly visible and highly moral Hinckley sent out official LDS Inc spokesman Don LeFevre to meet reporters on this issue while Hinckley hid out in his personal LDS Inc supplied Temple Square Ivory Tower.
LeFevre NEVER denied the LDS Inc source of the major enabling contribution to SLOC. LeFevre attempted to qualify the donation/ bribery funds as originating from LDS Inc business funds instead of coming from LDS Inc funds that were generated from offerings AS IF that really non determinable and even more non existent distinction would make funding such an immoral and illegal activity acceptable.
Most dumb ass MORmONS were so caught up in the frenzied fervor of Olympic spirit that they could not keep track of such details. They only wanted to know if Utah / they were still going to get their Utah / MORmON Olympics as had been previously indicated, regardless of how the rights to hosting the games had been obtained.
As long as the answer was still yes then MORmONS were still winners in MORmON minds, and MORmONS just wanted to concentrate on preparing to host their MORmON Olympics instead of getting distracted and bothered by facts and details of how MORmON leaders really operate just like sleazy criminals.
In Kharmic fairness and balance, the MORmON Olympics that LDS Inc had so suck-cess fully bribed and cheated to Utah were hardly the publicity windfall to showcase the supposedly Higher moral virtues of MORmONISM that Hinckley had hoped for. In fact, the MORmON Olympics were really a PR disaster for MORmONISM when everything was played out and factored out.
As PRofit Hinckley once again went to the media stage to perform his MORmON PR magic, he capped his corrupt Olympic affair with this stunning MORmON performance for the entire world to see as they had their eyes cast in THE direction of THE (MORmON) Olympics.
