To those who judge others, I offer this prophetic advice "STOP IT"


Zion, April 3, 2012

President Dieter F. Uchtdorft, second counselor in the first presidency of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, advised us in the 182 general conference of the church saying:

“To those who judge others, I offer this prophetic advice 'STOP IT”


Fear not, for if we truly keep the commandments, sanctify ourselves  and we have the light of Christ or his spirit in us as a covering we can rise up and judge this generation and minister as the Lord himself did minister.


Again I say, hearken ye elders of my church, whom I have appointed: Ye are not sent forth to be taught, but to teach the children of men the things which I have put into your hands by the power of my Spirit; And ye are to be taught from on high.

Sanctify yourselves and ye shall be endowed with power, that ye may give even as I have spoken.

(Doctrine and Covenants | Section 43:15 - 16)


I do not know about you, but I am sent forth to reprove the world. And my works go before me. I am not afraid of judging others for I judge not by the precepts of men or by what I see or hear, but by the light of Christ and the spirit of prophecy and revelation which is in me. And who can deny it, for of this it is written:

“Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: Of sin, because they believe not on me; Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more; Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.”

(New Testament | John 16:7 - 11)

“Behold, I send you out to reprove the world of all their unrighteous deeds, and to teach them of a judgment which is to come. And whoso receiveth you, there I will be also, for I will go before your face.  I will be on your right hand and on your left, and my Spirit shall be in your hearts, and mine angels round about you, to bear you up.”

(Doctrine and Covenants | Section 84:87 - 88)

“Then I said, I have laboured in vain, I have spent my strength for nought, and in vain: yet surely my judgment is with the LORD, and my work with my God.”

(Old Testament | Isaiah 49:4)

“The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.”

(New Testament | Matthew 12:41)

“The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and condemn them: for she came from the utmost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.”

(New Testament | Luke 11:31)

“Then I said, I have labored in vain, I have spent my strength for naught and in vain; surely my judgment is with the Lord, and my work with my God.”

(Book of Mormon | 1 Nephi 21:4)

“The Lord will enter into judgment with the ancients of his people and the princes thereof; for ye have eaten up the vineyard and the spoil of the poor in your houses.What mean ye?  Ye beat my people to pieces, and grind the faces of the poor, saith the Lord God of Hosts.”

(Book of Mormon | 2 Nephi 13:14 - 15)

“And now, my brethren, seeing that ye know the light by which ye may judge, which light is the light of Christ, see that ye do not judge wrongfully; for with that same judgment which ye judge ye shall also be judged.”

(Book of Mormon | Moroni 7:18)

Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.

(New Testament | John 16:13 - 15)


This is Michael who holds the keys of Salvation under the direction of the holy one and also the keys of the ministry of angels.

This is his unworthy scribe

Miguel Angel, who is dressed with light for a covering and who holds the scepter of power in his hand.

  1. Hearken ye, for, behold, the great day of the Lord is nigh at hand. For the day cometh that the Lord shall utter his voice out of heaven; the heavens shall shake and the earth shall tremble, and the trump of God shall sound both long and loud, and shall say to the sleeping nations: Ye saints arise and live; ye sinners stay and sleep until I shall call again. Wherefore gird up your loins lest ye be found among the wicked.

    Lift up your voices and spare not. Call upon the nations to repent, both old and young, both bond and free, saying:

    Prepare yourselves for the great day of the Lord; For if I, who am a man, do lift up my voice and call upon you to repent, and ye hate me, what will ye say when the day cometh when the thunders shall utter their voices from the ends of the earth, speaking to the ears of all that live, saying—Repent, and prepare for the great day of the Lord?

    Yea, and again, when the lightnings shall streak forth from the east unto the west, and shall utter forth their voices unto all that live, and make the ears of all tingle that hear, saying these words—Repent ye, for the great day of the Lord is come?

    And again, the Lord shall utter his voice out of heaven, saying: Hearken, O ye nations of the earth, and hear the words of that God who made you.

    O, ye nations of the earth, how often would I have gathered you together as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, but ye would not! How oft have I called upon you by the mouth of my servants, and by the ministering of angels, and by mine own voice, and by the voice of thunderings, and by the voice of lightnings, and by the voice of tempests, and by the voice of earthquakes, and great hailstorms, and by the voice of famines and pestilences of every kind, and by the great sound of a trump, and by the voice of judgment, and by the voice of mercy all the day long, and by the voice of glory and honor and the riches of eternal life, and would have saved you with an everlasting salvation, but ye would not! Behold, the day has come, when the cup of the wrath of mine indignation is full.Behold, verily I say unto you, that these are the words of the Lord your God.

The Trillion-Dollar War Mirage Why Superior Weapons No Longer Win Wars By Miguel Tinoco “When Giants Face Mosquitoes, They Smack Their Own Faces.” David defeated Goliath not because he had the bigger sword, armor, or army, but because he understood the mismatch between raw power and precision strategy. Today, the lesson is clear: no amount of $200 million missiles can decisively defeat swarms of $20,000 drones. These “mosquitoes” do not need to survive individually—they only need to be numerous, persistent, and cleverly deployed. In Ukraine, waves of improvised drones have repeatedly forced the Russian military to expend high-cost interceptors, revealing a strategic truth: quantity can overwhelm sophistication when cost asymmetry and saturation dynamics dominate the battlefield. If you’ve ever played a real-time strategy game, you know the feeling: you invest everything in one Super Unit—your hero tank or aircraft. It destroys ten or twenty cheap units, then is overwhelmed. Modern militaries are facing the same problem. We call it the Obsolescence Trap: military superiority no longer guarantees victory because the cost to defend against low-cost threats quickly outweighs the value of each engagement. This is where the Cost Exchange Ratio (R) comes in: Cost of Attack R = ---------------------------- Cost of Defense Houston, we have a problem The same principle is unfolding in the Middle East NOW. Iran, and any other organized or unorganized terror organization, despite U.S. and Israeli strikes, has unleashed hundreds of low-cost drones and missiles against critical infrastructure. Even when defenses succeed tactically, the sheer volume of inexpensive attacks strains systems economically and temporally. Advanced radar and missile networks can be rendered ineffective by persistent, distributed threats—demonstrating that conventional weapons alone are no longer sufficient to secure victory. Survival, endurance, and the ability to anticipate adversary intent have become more decisive than raw destructive capability. The solution is not to abandon conventional or high-tech forces, but to rethink their role. Conventional weapons—aircraft, carriers, and submarines—remain vital; they are the diamonds in the bank. But they should no longer serve as the first line of defense or attack. Instead, distributed autonomous systems, AI-coordinated drones, and human–machine corrective strike teams can act as a new “cavalry,” absorbing attrition, screening strategically and mathematically high-value assets, and shaping the battlefield before it reaches irreplaceable platforms. The Glory of God is intelligence or the Key. Intelligence must guide every layer, predicting threats and timing responses. The future of warfare favors those who combine intelligence, layered resilience, and strategic endurance—a David-like approach that lets small, smart systems defeat the giant without exhausting the civilization itself. For decades, Western defense strategy relied on technological supremacy. Build a faster jet, a more precise missile, or a stealthier ship, and victory was assumed. But that logic is fading. Bigger or greater is no longer better. We are now witnessing the emergence of a "Structural Obsolescence Trap," where the most advanced military in history is increasingly paralyzed by adversaries equipped with cheap technology that is individually inferior yet strategically devastating. The central challenge is an economic one, presenting a clear and present danger that, if unaddressed, could escalate into societal strain or even threaten the stability of the state—essentially, a catastrophic consequence of a “bad deal.” A tactical success—such as shooting down a $500 drone with a $2 million interceptor—can become a strategic failure if the adversary can replace assets faster than the defender. This dynamic is captured in formal models as the Cost Exchange Ratio, which quantifies the economic sustainability of conflict over time. In contemporary scenarios, this ratio increasingly disadvantages high-tech powers, exposing them to attrition not from battlefield defeats but from the relentless arithmetic of cost asymmetry. Three shifts define modern conflict. First, endurance replaces battlefield victory. Weaker actors do not need to defeat us outright; they need only survive, prolonging the fight until our social, political and economic will erodes. Second, quantity competes with sophistication. Large swarms of inexpensive systems saturate even the most advanced defenses, ensuring penetration through sheer math. Third, modern warfare targets systems rather than forces. Disrupt logistics, fuel, communications, and satellites—and even a carrier strike group becomes impotent. To escape this trap, history provides insight. In the age of heavy cavalry, combined-arms armies deployed infantry to hold the ground, archers for reach, and cavalry to screen and scout. Industrialized warfare replaced this layered nuance with massive, centralized platforms. The proposed Hybrid Cavalry Doctrine returns to that principle, adapted for the digital age. A 21st-century cavalry of distributed, autonomous, low-cost systems would absorb initial attrition, probe enemy defenses, and shield irreplaceable high-value assets. Just as historical cavalry protected the main force, autonomous drone swarms can absorb the shock of modern saturation attacks. BUG BLASTER The Solution: The United States, as the originator of interactive digital warfare simulations—commonly known as video games—has inadvertently cultivated almost since the womb a generation of highly trained, cognitively agile and skilled operators, representing perhaps the most formidable reserve of latent combat capability ever assembled. These “latent combatants” comprise millions of young Americans who have, over decades, honed advanced skills in virtual tactics, rapid decision-making under pressure, situational awareness, and fine motor coordination. Their expertise translates directly to the modern battlespace: they are capable of executing complex operations, commanding unmanned aerial systems, and operating in distributed, networked combat environments. Their reflexes and operational judgment frequently exceed those of highly trained conventional operators; they can maneuver high-speed vehicles with precision exceeding that of professional racers and respond to dynamic threats faster than experienced air force pilots. All that is required to mobilize this capability are the correct platforms—drones, control interfaces, real-time feeds, and designated objectives. The human capital, battlefield intuition, and reconnaissance capability are already present; the decisive requirement is structural and doctrinal adaptation. This adaptation must take the form of a deliberate reorganization of military force along six functional columns of strategic power. The traditional domains—Ground, Maritime, Air, and Space—retain their critical roles in securing terrain, maintaining global mobility, and preserving strategic reach. Intelligence, however, must be elevated to a primary pillar of operational doctrine: not simply as a collector of information, but as the cognitive engine of the force, capable of anticipating adversary intent, interpreting complex operational patterns, and influencing the decision cycle across both immediate and extended horizons. The sixth column, Distributed Technological Systems, represents the operational cavalry of the twenty-first century: scalable, resilient, and adaptive, providing the flexibility to absorb attrition, counter saturation attacks, and maintain operational coherence where centralized, high-value platforms cannot. The interdependence of these six columns, synchronized through predictive, anticipatory frameworks, ensures maximum endurance, adaptive responsiveness, and the effective integration of these digitally trained operators into a cohesive Hybrid Cavalry capable of dominating distributed conflict environments. The operational risk confronting advanced military powers is not sudden defeat but gradual strategic exhaustion. Tactical victories achieved through high-end platforms may mask systemic vulnerabilities: if the force cannot sustain itself under persistent, low-cost pressure, operational advantage erodes over time. Strategic efficacy must therefore be measured not solely by platform sophistication or destructive capacity, but by the ability to maintain a cohesive, adaptable fighting force over prolonged engagements. High-value capabilities must be preserved for deterrence and decisive intervention, while bulk resources must be allocated toward scalable, distributed systems, layered defenses, and the Hybrid Cavalry. Technological superiority remains a valid instrument of power; however, absent structural adaptation to the modern calculus of war—where cost asymmetry, saturation dynamics, and temporal endurance dominate—the highest-tech platforms risk obsolescence and strategic irrelevance. Modern warfare increasingly resembles the relentless, cascading onslaughts found in early video games like Centipede and Asteroids. Waves of low-cost, autonomous threats move quickly, change direction unpredictably, and exploit every gap in defenses—just as players once struggled to anticipate the segmented centipede weaving through obstacles or the asteroids tumbling unpredictably across the screen. In both cases, raw firepower alone cannot prevail; survival requires strategy, anticipation, and a responsive, adaptive system capable of seeing the pattern, timing the interception, and absorbing attrition efficiently. Welcome to the STAR-WARS There is nothing new under the sun. This is precisely what the prophet Joel foresaw in chapter 2: a vast, unstoppable army of locusts, (unmanned drones or Alien Invaders) moving with the speed of chariots and the discipline of horses, overwhelming every barrier in its path (perhaps driven by people on the spectrum, without losing sleep, hyper focused or being tired until the job is done and will come back for more.) Like Joel’s locusts, modern swarms of drones or autonomous systems do not rely on individual endurance—they are effective because they are numerous, persistent, and coordinated. They are a “digital locust army,” devouring space, time, and resources, rendering static defenses insufficient. Yet just as Joel promised restoration after devastation, strategic adaptation offers hope: by reorganizing forces into layered defenses, integrating intelligence as a guiding column, and deploying a Hybrid Cavalry of distributed, autonomous systems, a civilization can survive the swarm, convert tactical engagement into strategic advantage, and turn the relentless force of the swarm into a managed, predictable battlefield variable. In this light, the lessons of prophecy, gaming, and modern military science converge: victory belongs to those who anticipate, adapt, and structure their forces for endurance over brute force. Operation Centipede BLOW ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the LORD cometh, for it is nigh at hand; A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations. A fire devoureth before them; and behind them a flame burneth: the land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; yea, and nothing shall escape them. The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses; and as horsemen, so shall they run. Like the noise of chariots on the tops of mountains shall they leap, like the noise of a flame of fire that devoureth the stubble, as a strong people set in battle array. Before their face the people shall be much pained: all faces shall gather blackness. They shall run like mighty men; they shall climb the wall like men of war; and they shall march every one on his ways, and they shall not break their ranks: Neither shall one thrust another; they shall walk every one in his path: and when they fall upon the sword, they shall not be wounded. They shall run to and fro in the city; they shall run upon the wall, they shall climb up upon the houses; they shall enter in at the windows like a thief. The earth shall quake before them; the heavens shall tremble: the sun and the moon shall be dark, and the stars shall withdraw their shining. — Joel 2:1-10
