Ep 43 – The Red Sermon

On this episode, Jo and Rigdon come riding into Far West and decide to throw over the whole game board that'd been strategically placed by powers much larger than them over the past 5 years. First thing on the chopping block, the heads of all dissenters. D-Day David Whitmer's nickname finally comes into play as he's chased out of Far West along with Ollie Cowdung, John Goebbels Whitmer, Leadfoot Lyman Johnson and Double-Dub Phelps. A grand cleansing purges all who dare question the authority of the Prophet and his advisors. Hingepin Rigdon issues public death threats to those defectors and to all who oppose the Saints in Missouri; "It will be…. a war of extermination!" from the mouth of Jo's spokesman. We read the entire July 4th Oration which was responsible for so much violence in Missouri in late 1838; Patreon subscribers get access to 50 extra minutes of reading the whole speech instead of just the crescendo.   Links: Rigdon's 4th of July Oration: http://contentdm.lib.byu.edu/cdm/compoundobject/collection/NCMP1820-1846/id/2816/rec/1 Ebenezer Robinson Autobiography: http://www.boap.org/LDS/Early-Saints/ERobinson.html   Show Links: Website http://nakedmormonismpodcast.com Twitter @NakedMormonism Facebook https://www.facebook.com/pages/Naked-Mormonism/370003839816311 Patreon http://patreon.com/nakedmormonism Outro music by Jason Comeau http://aloststateofmind.com/ Show Artwork http://weirdmormonshit.com/ Voicemail Line (864)Nake-dMo (625-3366)
