• OK, it finally dawned on me that "Mormon Mafia" refers to the Danites. The Danites were a group of Mormons who returned violence with violence (including burning down the houses of those who burned down Mormon houses). Joseph Smith Jr disbanded that group when he became aware of their activities.

• Are you kidding me? Brigham Young made good use of the "Danite Warriors" as evidenced by the historical witnessed account by Ann Eliza Young's "The 19th Wife." Blood atonement was fully utilized e.g. suicide or murder of dissenters, sinners, and apostates as evidenced by a sermon by Apostle Grant AND Brigham Young (in the same conference). Here are the infamous words of Grant regarding the unhappiness of ALL of the women in the church regarding polygamy and asking for all sinners to come forward so that "we can shed their blood." This is all now hidden behind a good public relations facade, but the church needs to repent of polygamy, satanic blood oath "suffer my life to be taken" temple oath requirements for divulging secrets, and altering the Book of Mormon changing the identity of God (Mosiah 15:1-5, Alma 11: 23-40, Ether 3:14) as prophesied. The "plain and precious" truths of the Book of Mormon were taken out in 1837.

• As declared by Apostle J. M. Grant on September 21, 1856 in a church sermon. He called for personal blood atonement (Mormon Mafia at work) and rebuked wives for complaining about polygamy.
  “I would ask how many covenant breakers there are in this city and in this kingdom. I believe that there are a great many and if they are covenant breakers we need a place designated, where we can shed their blood... And we have women here who like anything but the celestial law of God; and if they could break asunder the cable of the Church of Christ, there is scarcely a mother in Israel but would do it this day. And they talk it to their husbands, to their daughters, and to their neighbors, and say they have not seen a week's happiness since they became acquainted with that law [plural marriage], or since their husbands took a second wife. Journal of Discourses, vol.4, pp.49
