"And there’s a lot more to them [Gadianton Robbers and Murderers] than the authors of the Book of Mormon wanted their audience to know. Most of that is lost, of course, which is to say that it was successfully suppressed."
At first I thought this was a symbolic hit piece, but then I thought this was much more. Seems like it represents an expose of hidden knowledge, which only the ancients, the dispossessed and those able to pierce the veil of this reality, had access.
Mormon or Moroni suppressed knowledge of the Gadianton Robbers? Maybe there were not enough gold plates or maybe this was the work of a cabal paving the political path for a certain well known corporate raiding venture capitalist. Anyway, Dr. Peterson is into some deep and interesting stuff here.
The photo of Kishkumen was good too.
