Previously: Joseph Smith Finally gets a Building
So the true history of all nations will be made known; indeed, everything will be made known to mankind. There isn't anything secret that won't be revealed, and there isn't any hidden event that won't be shown in the light. And there isn't anything sealed on earth that won't be unsealed. Therefore all things that have happened to mankind will, at that time, be revealed. (Covenant of Christ, 2 Nephi 12: XIII, p. 88, emphasis added)
Nephi is speaking about the future Zion (His Holy Mountain) just before he ends with the verse above, so it seems that we have to wait until the New Jerusalem (the preparatory gathering place to prepare a people for the ascent to Zion) is established to learn the "true history of all nations."
But I believe that God has begun to pour out His Spirit over many open-minded people who are waking up and beginning to discover the holes in the historical narratives that we have been given.
God doesn't give everything to us all at once, so line upon line, precept upon precept, here a little and there a little, perhaps we will begin to learn what has really transpired on this earth, and see the bigger picture.
Maybe all we are supposed to realize right now is that something is seriously wrong with the "official" historical narratives we have been given. Maybe that is the first step in receiving more from the Lord. All I'm hoping to do in this series is to point out the inconsistencies and anomalies in some of those narratives that we are told happened in Utah.
Many people have made comments about preexisting buildings not being mentioned in pioneer journals, by mountain men, or by Native Americans. This is a logical counter argument, and I admit that I don't have access to pioneer journals and haven't been able to do that research yet.
From what I understand the majority of journal entries are related to the building of the temples and not so much about any of the buildings that I have been researching and blogging about. But if anyone would like to send me copies of their ancestor's journals I would be happy to read them (there is a blog contact form at the top right of the blog). I've asked before, but so far no one has sent me a single entry.
I don't get hung up on locating personal pioneer journals because I think there is a bigger picture to consider here. For instance, the possibility that there actually weren't as many pioneers as we've been told there were (notice the blatant absence of people in 19th century photos), or that men like Jim Bridger didn't actually exist at all. I've also heard that Church leaders confiscated journals from early Mormons who may have been performing renovations instead of new construction on the Manti, St. George, Logan, and Salt Lake temples, and gave the families back redacted copies of the originals. I'm open to this possibility, which would mean that evidence for existing buildings may be hidden and locked away deep within Granite Mountain, or the secure first presidency documents vault.
If Brigham Young was really hand-picked by Jesuit priest Pierre de Smet to repopulate Utah then that means that the LDS Church is part of the "controlling" Jesuit elite that hide true history. And like the Vatican, they require massive underground vaults to bury incriminating records that would reveal their involvement in the historical cover up. Remember what Nephi said, there won't be anything secret that won't be revealed. This means that all the vaults will be open to those who remain in Zion, including Granite Mountain. Do you really think we need a massive cave inside a huge mountain just to keep track of family history records? What are they really hiding down there?
As for the Native Americans, we may have to consider how easy it is for a people with no written language to forget their history. The Book of Mormon has a term for this, it's called dwindling in unbelief. Remember, one of the reasons that the Book of Mormon was written in the first place was to restore the Lamanites to their true genealogical heritage and knowledge of the covenants the Lord made to their progenitors. Because they didn't write anything down, and because of the wicked traditions of their fathers, they lost the knowledge of who they were. This could easily happen to any people, even those (like us) who do have a written language. Our language has been confounded, and this can be worse than not having a written language at all, because we think we know what our words mean, but in reality they have been dumbed down and changed in a manner that was designed to deceive us.
As an aside on the Native Americans, did you know that some Cherokees actually lived in mansions and told oral legends about red-haired giants? Check out the first hour of the video below:
Perhaps. But let's get to the topic at hand: the original Church Administration Building, built in three years during World War I, from 1914 to 1917. A building some have called "A House for the Presidency."
The Square, the Level, and the Plummet
The Plumb is an instrument made use of by operative Masons to raise perpendiculars; the Square, to square their work; and the Level to lay the horizontals; but we, as Free and Accepted Masons, are taught to make use of them for more noble and glorious purposes: the Plumb admonishes us to walk uprightly in our several stations before God and man, squaring our actions by the square of virtue, and remembering that we are all traveling upon the level of time to that undiscovered country from whose bourn no traveler returns. (Morgan's Freemasonry, p. 41)
Sounds benign and innocent enough, but remember that the god they worship, which was absolutely declared with pride by Albert Pike, is not Jesus but Lucifer. Also bear in mind that Lucifer is unable to create anything and must imitate God, so he uses terms that are also used in scripture in order to deceive his followers into thinking that they are doing good and acting virtuous, even if they are complicit in murder, theft, etc., for what they term "the greater good".
Now, its no coincidence that the "tools" of Fellow-Craft Masons have everything to do with construction, because the Masons are taking credit for building the buildings of the past civilization, just as Lucifer is taking credit for being the "Great Architect of the Universe", a position clearly held by the true Creator-God, Jesus Christ.
The meaning of the trowel takes this symbolism a level deeper, because it is the tool that is used to cement a building together, or in other words, it is the instrument used to finish the work begun by the plumb, the level, and the square. In what you're about to read you'll notice language that seems virtuous and noble, as well as language that you'd expect to hear by someone talking about the Lord's latter-day Zion, but don't be deceived, it's an imitation:
The trowel is an instrument made use of by operative Masons to spread the cement which unites a building into one common mass; but we, as free and accepted Masons, are taught to make use of it for the more noble and glorious purpose of spreading the cement of brotherly love and affection; that cement which unites us into one sacred band or society of friends and brothers, among whom no contention should ever exist, but that noble contention or rather emulation of who can best work or best agree. (Ibid, p. 50, emphasis original)
Notice that this "brotherly love" and "no contention" only exists in their "sacred band" or secret society of brothers. This is referring to a closed group, which is the complete opposite of Zion, in which everyone is invited to the wedding feast. In my opinion, the reference to uniting "a building into one common mass", is a hidden code for collectivism, which is the modus operandi of how the Freemasons and Luciferians control the masses today. Remember, these Masons are not builders of buildings, they are meddlers in social constructs in order to control our historical narrative, and ultimately, us, their slaves. (He who controls the past controls the future.)
So right off the bat with this CAB building, we get a blast of Masonic symbolism, revealing that the Church leaders at the time were most likely high-ranking Freemasons, and that the building was in fact not built by our society, but by a past civilization.
The symbolism in the CONSTRUCTION narrative is giving away the story. It didn't happen like they said it did.
In past posts I've mentioned something called the “Revelation of the Method", in which the controllers, and Lucifer for that matter, have to reveal in some form (parables, fables, plays, movies, etc.) what they are up to in this fallen world. They have to play by the rules of agency in this mortal world, and they have to get us to consent, with our agency, to slavery; they have to get our permission. Of course they use manipulation and deception to get this consent, but nonetheless they are compelled by some eternal and immutable preexistent law to lay out their agenda in plain sight.
Albert Pike wrote a book on this very thing, almost bragging about how they have used words against us. He references a 12th century book with the Latin title, Artephil Liber Secretus, which means "art that liberates." Here is what Pike said about it:
Is not this an art full of secrets? And believest thou, O fool! that we plainly teach this Secret of Secrets, taking our words according to their literal interpretation?
(This quote was taken out of a lecture by Manly P. Hall, who references Pike's book by his pseudonym, Sephar H. Debarim, recorded in D. Christian Markham's book, There are Save Two Churches Only, read it here.)
In the same lecture Hall reveals that Vitruvius, the Ancient Roman architect, was an initiate of the Mystery Schools. This is important because Vitruvius wrote the definitive work on “ancient” Greek and Roman architecture, laid out in ten books. Hall reveals that Vitruvius could not reveal everything he knew because he was under oath, so it's interesting that such an emphasis is put on his guide for architects. On page 6 Vitruvius reveals who he really is, a Freemasonic plant, which tells me that the book was written much later in our timeline, making me wonder if this character existed at all. Here is what Vitruvius said:
Geometry, also, is of much assistance in architecture, and in particular it teaches us the use of the rule and compass, by which especially we acquire readiness in making plans for buildings in their grounds, and righty apply the square, the level, and the plummet. (Vitruvius: Ten Books on Architecture, p. 6, emphasis added)
In my opinion, this is coded language. Vitruvius is a character used to explain away the architecture of the previous civilization, which is not Greek or Roman, but Tartarian (or whatever name the past civilization was called). Our timelines are not what they are telling us they are.
This symbolism was deeply embedded into the Lego Movie, in which Vitruvius, the guru of the "Master Builders", was played by Morgan Freeman. In the animated movie his character dies and becomes an apparition, almost as if they are telling you that the historical Vitruvius never existed at all. The movie draws some interesting parallels with the research I've been doing. Lord Business, played by Will Ferrell, is a dictator representing the Maritime/Admiralty law model that we labor under today. The heroic "Master Builders" represent the Freemasons or "Master Masons" who have learned to construct things with no instructions, or no plans. Interestingly, many of the old world buildings said to have been built in the 19th century are missing the original architectural plans.
In the movie, Lord Business has created different realities made of Legos which are connected by portals throughout the realm. Each of the realities are controlled by Lord Business, and the company he owns, Octan (a word close to octane, representing the robber-baron-controllers and their expensive fossil fuel model). Octan makes all products including history books.
One of the realities is a simulation of the 19th century old west, and during one scene two cowboys are talking at a bar and one says to the other, "do you think zeppelins are a good investment?" A zeppelin is an airship, and in my opinion, this is an allusion to old world technology existing in what we've been told was an era of primitive technology. Also during the old west scenes we see buildings going up with wood scaffolding and pulley cranes like we see in so many 19th century construction photos.
They are putting their narrative of the Old World right in our faces: Revelation of the Method in plain sight, embedded in a movie.
Pay attention to this movie. They are telling you a story. A story that plays out in the architecture of the past, designed by 19th century architects - Master Masons/Builders who have no training, or who DO NOT USE plans to build buildings, and seem to be able to build them out of nothing in record time.
One of these untrained architects who supposedly designed some iconic structures in Utah was one of Brigham Young's many sons.
Joseph Don Carlos Young: Ma Son of Brigham Young

Here you can see the man standing in the center displaying a Masonic symbol called the "hidden hand", a common pose seen in many 19th centuries photos featuring powerful Freemasons in high-ranking political, industrial, and military positions. This photo was taken out of a Master's Thesis written by Bradford West and published by the University of Pennsylvania in 1994 (I can't begin to tell you how many gems on Old World Utah I have discovered in obscure master's theses that are free to read online).
...Young received very little, if any, systematic instruction, before or during his studies at Rensselaer, in fine art and informed architecture. Absent in Young's academic training, in regards to the practice of architecture, were: (1) systematic architectural planning and analysis, (2) an operative understanding of historical precedent, including the lessons gained by studying, memorizing, and drawing the five orders and by studying the growing canon of accepted ancient and modern landmarks, and (3) instruction in the prevailing aesthetic and construction philosophies of the time. By no means did Young acquire the best architectural education available during the late 1870s in the United States -- indeed, far from it. (pp. 20-21, emphasis added)
No training in architecture whatsoever yet JDC went on to design epic Greco-Roman buildings with Corinthian columns?
Really?
Throughout his thesis, West uses the following words and phrases in describing JDC's training and/or participation in building designs that are attributed to him: conspicuously absent, circumstantial evidence, tenuous circumstances, it is not known, plausible, may have been, presumably, probable cause, etc.
By the time you finish reading the thesis, which is a few hundred pages, you're not sure if JDC designed anything at all in Utah. Even in JDC's obituary not a single reference to architecture is made. The Deseret News stated the following at the time of Young's death:
Mr. Young taught at the University of Deseret following his graduation and at the same time engaged in railroading and irrigation engineering from 1879 to 1883. (See p. 42 of West's thesis for quotation)
Apparently, JDC retired from the railroad in 1879, and moved to a farm house after receiving an inheritance from his deceased father. And it was there at the farm that JDC began to teach himself architecture. According to West, he collected books, subscribed to architectural periodicals and magazines, and purchased a drawing table and "sundry drafting equipment", and thus his "self-training" began.
It's a nice story n' all, but as usual, I'm not buying it. Something else is going on here.
West included in his thesis a major clue from something Brigham Young said about God. This quote, in my opinion, clearly stipulates that the loyalties of the Young family were to Freemasonry and Luciferianism. The language used here is similar to what men like Albert Pike and Manly P. Hall have said about "The Great Architect of the Universe," which they have revealed to the initiated is Lucifer:
God, for Brigham, was a craftsman, a scientist, who molded the material elements into various shapes and forms according to his design... "God speaks He is obeyed, and matter comes together and is organized. We take the rock, and the lime from the mountain and burn it and make mortar with lime and sand and lay the foundation of houses, and rear the superstructure with brick, stones, adobes, or lumber. We bring these elements together and organize..." (A quote by Leonard Arrington, found on p. 17 of West's thesis, emphasis added)
To speak of God as a "craftsman" and a "scientist" is Masonic language.
Albert Pike said something similar in Morals and Dogma, and as you may recall from this post I wrote on music, Pike and Brigham knew each other. A craftsman is a person skilled in some occupation that requires the use of their hands, but the root word craft has a few definitions, one of which is "a skill used in deceiving others." Nowhere in scripture do you see the word "craft" being used to describe God and His Priesthood. But you do see it used in conjunction with priestcraft and witchcraft. With that definition in mind here is what Pike wrote in Morals and Dogma:
The ingenious artificer and craftsman, like Solomon, searches the earth for his materials, and transforms the misshapen matter into glorious workmanship. (Kindle Version, Loc 932, emphasis added)
The Masons project themselves as creators, taking raw materials from the earth and forming them into beautiful structures. This is why they refer to Lucifer as an "architect." But this is all an illusion. Lucifer and his followers do not create anything. They cannot. They have been stripped of their creative power because of who and what they have chosen to follow. All they can do is imitate and pretend.
In Manly P. Hall's book The Secret Teachings of All Ages, he gives away a clue that, in my opinion, creates a major hole in the narrative of the Freemasons building edifices that really belong to the Tartarians (who I believe are descendants of the lost Tribes of Israel). He plainly writes that the Freemasonic focus on architecture and building is nothing but a parable for manipulating and controlling human societies.
Hall writes about an ancient group called the Dionsyiac Architects, a fraternity that Vitruvius belonged to. They were also called the Roman Collegia, and were "initiates of the Bacchus-Dionysos cult... peculiarly consecrated to the science of building and the art of decoration." He claimed that they built "public buildings and monuments," and were the "master craftsmen of the earth."
Master craftsmen, in my opinion, is coded language for expert liars and deceivers.
Hall claims that this fraternity built edifices all over Europe, Asia Minor, India, and Egypt, referring to these structures as "sermons in stone." To the uninitiated, Hall surmises that the buildings inspired "a sense of majesty and symmetry resulting from the perfect coordination of pillars, spans, arches, and domes." These buildings, he claimed, could "induce any desired mental attitude or emotion", and were constructed as to be "perfectly harmonious with the structure of the universe itself", and "were based upon geometrical patterns derived from the constellations."
Is this sounding familiar yet? He is giving credit to a group that DID NOT build these buildings. A secret fraternity that worshipped a Roman god named Bacchus. But the next excerpt is where he gives it all away:
While stigmatized as pagans by reason of their philosophic principles, it is noteworthy that these Dionysiac craftsmen were almost universally employed in the erection of early Christian abbeys and cathedrals, whose stones even to this very day bear distinguishing marks and symbols cut into their surfaces by these illustrious builders. Among the ornate carvings of great churches of the Old World are frequently found representations of compasses, squares, rules, mallets, and clusters of builder's tools skillfully incorporated into mural decorations and even placed in the hands of the effigies of saints and prophets standing in exalted niches. (Hall, The Secret Teachings of All Ages, p. 507, emphasis added)
Do you see how Hall is masterfully weaving the Freemasonry narrative into our official architectural history?
Hall continues by revealing what this whole deception is really about: controlling human populations:
But Freemasonry most of all owes to the Dionsyiac cult the great mass of its symbols and rituals which are related to the science of architecture. From these ancient and illustrious artisans it [Freemasonry] also received the legacy of the unfinished Temple of Civilization-that vast, invisible structure upon which these initiated builders have labored continuously since the inception of their fraternity. This mighty edifice [human civilization], which has fallen and been rebuilt time after time but whose foundations remain unmoved, is the true Everlasting House of which the temple on the brow of Mount Moriah was but an impermanent symbol. (p. 508, emphasis added)
Hall is telling you here that there have been multiple resets in human history. He is hinting to you that Freemasonic fraternities control human populations. He makes this expressly clear in the next paragraph:
Human society they [the Dionysiac Architects] considered as a rough stone and untrued ashlar but lately chiseled from the quarry of elemental Nature. This crude block [human society] was the true object upon which these skilled craftsmen labored -- polishing it, squaring it, and with the aid of fine carvings transforming it into a miracle of beauty. (p. 508, emphasis added)
Finally, Hall joins the chorus of Brigham Young and Albert Pike in this last passage:
They [again the Dionysiac Architects] venerated the Deity under the guise of the Great Architect and Master Craftsman who was ever gouging rough ashlars from the fields of space and truing them into universes. (p. 508, emphasis added)
So what does this all mean for Brigham and his son JDC? If they were truly part of this Jesuit-controlled Freemasonic organization, then it is very plausible that they were only pretenders, and didn't build any of the iconic structures in Utah that they are credited for building. It may all be a ruse to deceive us into believing in a narrative that is designed for one purpose: the control and manipulation of our modern society.
I know this is a lot of information to process. But keep in mind that understanding how Freemasonry fits into the topic of the Old World is paramount to exposing the false architectural narrative. Once you open your mind to this deception, you begin to see it in every narrative of every Old World building.
Did the First Presidency Really need a House that Big?
And again, verily I say unto you my friends, a commandment I given unto you that you shall commence a work of laying out and preparing a beginning and foundation of the city of the stake of Zion, here in the land of Kirtland, beginning at my house. And let the first lot on the south be consecrated unto me the for the building of a house for the presidency, for the work of the presidency in obtaining revelations, and for the work of the ministry of the presidency in all things pertaining to the church and kingdom.
Verily I say unto you that it shall be built fifty-five by sixty-five feet, in the width thereof and the length thereof, in the inner court. And there shall be a lower court and a higher court, according to the pattern which shall be given you hereafter. And it shall be dedicated unto the Lord from the foundation thereof, according to the Order of the Priesthood, according to the pattern which shall be given you hereafter. (T&C 97:1-2)
Matthew O. Richardson points on in his article that this building was never built because of a lack of funds, and that the First Presidency had to meet in places like the Kirtland temple, various schoolhouses, Joseph's home, and the Red Brick Store in Nauvoo to hold meetings and conduct business.
But somehow, over 80 years later in 1917, Richardson claims that the new CAB fulfilled the original commandment to build this "house for the presidency." Given everything that happened in Church history during that 80 year period, this claim is quite a stretch.
For one, the Church Administration Building was not built according to the pattern the Lord set. We're told that JDC designed the building to be at least 10 times larger than what was specified in the revelation, and the pattern that the Lord was going to reveal "hereafter" was never given as far as we know. Secondly, there was no inner and outer court, and thirdly, the CAB was not "dedicated unto the Lord from the foundation thereof". In fact, it wasn't dedicated at all until 1978, 61 years later. The reason for the long postponement, according to Richardson, was the Spanish flu epidemic of 1919.
The postponement of a proper dedication is strange indeed, especially considering the fact that Joseph Fielding Smith later declared that the CAB was "'one of the most important of all the structures' built during his father's administration". A structure so important that it apparently didn’t need a formal dedication to the Lord?
What is going on in this narrative?
As the story goes, JDC was commissioned to design a building that would both serve the administrative needs of Church leaders and offer protection from natural disasters. Therefore, it was decided that the building would be framed with a steel skeleton and formed with reinforced concrete and granite.
Interestingly, Richardson mentions in his article that the CAB was “built on a grade that was considerably higher than the normal street grade to provide additional protection from the periodic flood waters of City Creek."
Why would they build the CAB with a higher grade when Richardson stated in the sentence before that the "windowless basement was designed to be constructed of steel, granite, and reinforced concrete, making it both fireproof and waterproof."
Richardson goes on so say that:
The primary purpose of the basement was to provide the best possible security against any foreseeable natural disasters. Consequently, the concrete walls were reinforced and waterproofed. A vault to store the most prized historical documents of the Church was installed in the basement. (Richardson, A House For the Presidency, p. 242)
So the building was waterproofed to the max but the main floor still needed to be set at a "considerably higher grade" to protect it from City Creek?
As you study Old World building narratives you'll notice another theme that I haven't mentioned much on this blog. Have you ever wondered why virtually all court houses and capital buildings have steps going up to what seems like a second floor? Is it because stairs look really cool and local governments were just dying to spend ass-loads of money making the main floor higher than street grade? Or is something else going on here?
Here is a photo showing the stairs of the CAB:
And here is the Utah State Capital Building's stairs:
And here is a photo of the Washington D.C. Capital Building:
You can check pictures of every capital and county building in the nation and see the same pattern.
Again, this makes no sense at all, unless of course there was some kind of massive flood event that buried the first several levels of these buildings and required the founders (who literally found the buildings) to build stairways up to the first usable floor after a mud flood.
And speaking of basements, Richardson reports of a strange event that transpired with the foundation of the CAB. Often in these narratives, especially the buildings supposedly built by organized religions, you find vignettes that hinge on the supernatural, with narrators proclaiming that the providence of God was involved in the construction process, because you know, God loves massive and elaborate buildings that are paid for out of the tithes and taxes of the poor.
As with most of the building narratives of old world structures in Utah, foundations were said to have been excavated in fall or winter. The CAB's foundation was supposedly dug out in September of 1913 and the concrete poured shortly thereafter. Richardson claims that the newly poured "foundation froze in the severe winter conditions", and "upon initial inspection and testing... crumbled to dust and could not support the weight of the five-story building".
But never fear, in the spring of 1914 the once-faulty concrete was retested and "much to the shock of the architects, engineers, contractors, and builders, the foundation was deemed to the structurally sound and could be left intact." This phenomenon, according to JDC and Richardson, "was nothing short of miraculous providence."
Are you kidding me?
Why would God care about a massive building that, according to the Richardson, had to built with tithing funds from the lay members of the Church? The lies in this narrative are multilayered: they are using a building they didn't build to push a false idea about tithing that they are still using against the lay membership today.
Tithing is for the poor, not for building elaborate offices for Church leaders.
The foundation was supposedly completed by contractor J.W. Mellen, who Richardson claims was the general contractor for the entire job. There are no subcontractors named in the narrative, even though the building required a massive 600 ton steel skeleton, "4,517 granite blocks... totaling 73,000 cubical feet of granite weighing 6,025 tons", as well as several tons of "white Tennessee marble" for floors "veneered with large blocks of golden travertine", and offices adorned with "rich panels of Circassian walnut."
How did ol' J.W. Mellen complete all this work himself? How many men did he have on his construction crew? What contracts did he have with steel manufacturers, Utah granite and marble quarries, Tennessee marble quarries, granite block makers, masonry companies, lumber mills, and carpenters? Conveniently, all of those logistical details are left out of the narrative. In the few contemporary articles that I've found written by Salt Lake newspapers that even mention the CAB building at all (see "Church Office Building", Deseret Evening News, Friday, October 10, 1913), Mr. Mellen is only named as the contractor hired to complete the concrete foundation.
In his bid he stipulated that the job would only take 75 days. If the building was excavated in September as the narrative affirms, then this means that Mr. Mellen was building frames and pouring concrete during the beginning of the cold winter months. An interesting thing about concrete is that if it freezes too quickly after it's been poured, much of its overall strength can become comprised. In Mr. Richardson's article that I've been quoting throughout this post, he wants you to believe that the concrete was compromised because of cold weather, but was miraculously fixed by God Himself the following spring, all to save the Church "precious tithing funds" that would've had to be used to redo the foundation.
In one of the only other articles I found mentioning the CAB building, the Deseret Evening News claims that in 1917, after the building was finished, an unnamed "eastern traveler" commented that it was a "Poem in Stone" (Remember the quote from Manly P. Hall where he stated that ancient buildings were referred to as "Sermons in Stone"?) The article goes into eloquent detail describing the extravagance of the building:
Ascending the granite steps one is ushered through the grilled entrance finished in glass and bronze into the imposing lobby. The exquisite marble work is a revelation of the finest example of the stonecutter's art. Here the walls are in a solid paneling of travertine and leading to the floors above are the spiral marble stairways while here and there are elevators with massive bronze fronts.
The suite of the First Presidency is the principal feature of the main floor. In the reception hall of marble stand sixteen graceful columns, and back of the reception hall to the back of the building are the commodious offices of the First Presidency... the walls being paneled in Circassian Walnut, and the ceiling heavily beamed. Adding to the cheeriness of the place is the fire place and mantel of light onyx. Here the electric features are in cast bronze... The private office of President Joseph F. Smith leads off the large room to the east. It is finished in mahogany birch...
You can find the same details (and many more) laid out in the Utah Genealogical and Historical Magazine published in 1917. Start on page 58. This publication is a nothing more than a description of a building that, in my opinion, already existed. Richardson relives heavily on this magazine as source material for his article, continuously weaving the details it offers throughout his writing. If the narrative is true, it is quite amazing that construction workers during this period were able to produce such exquisitely detailed and elaborate work in such a short amount of time (and during a major world war no less), especially with hard materials like marble (I want to know who built the spiraling marble staircase; of course they don't tell us) and granite. Just take a moment to scroll through these pictures to appreciate the craftsmanship:
See this article for more photos.
And just for fun, here is a symbol representing the pineal gland found on the marble staircase railing that is also found in the Vatican:
Is it just a coincidence that the same symbolism is found in both the CAB and the Vatican? This should make us wonder who really built these buildings and complexes. Was it the same group? Have the LDS and Catholic Churches simply just taken over the buildings?
Take another moment and look at the workmanship on the marble staircase.
Do you really think they were capable of this kind of work in 1917? Do you know any contractors today that could duplicate this? And why do they not tell us the name of the contractor who performed this work, or how the marble was shaped? In my opinion, whoever built this should be recognized, yet the narrative cannot provide us a single name outside of J.W. Mellen, the general contractor, who apparently did everything himself, a ridiculous notion.
And speaking of workmanship, we can't end this post without talking about the ionic columns (both of granite and marble) lining the exterior and interior of the building. They hold esoteric meanings and clues that should make us really question this narrative.
An Administration Building, an Apollonian Temple, or a Tartarian Power Station?

A volute is a scroll-like design on the capital (top) of a column. As you can see, it looks like a scroll that has been rolled up on either side, in a Fibonacci-spiral-type design. The word volute comes from the Latin voluta meaning "a spiral scroll." Voluta is a past participle of volvere, which means to turn around, roll, or revolve. So a volute is a symbol of something in motion. Keep that in mind. Ionian temples, according to Vitruvius, always display volutes on the capital of a column.
After giving this short history, Vitruvius lays out the column dimensions and architectural style of an Ionian temple... and the CAB matches the descriptions almost perfectly.

Dear readers, I think we've been lied to. The CAB building, and many other buildings on Temple Square and in Salt Lake City, are not what the official history tells us they are. These buildings, and this earth for that matter, are so much more than that we've been told. This realm, a simulation created by God designed to help us ascend and be added upon, is far more wonderous and fascinating than what we've been led to believe.
According to Vitruvius, the middle triglyph is called a "femur", a term that should raise alarm bells in association with certain secret societies. This should make us more curious about the catacombs found under cathedrals in Europe. Why are there only skulls and femur bones found in these underground ossuaries?
Notice that the skulls and bones above are arranged in rows that resemble a triglyph. What is really going on here and do these ossuaries also exist in America? Check out the videos below for further details:
Bonus Addendum: JDC's Other Buildings and an Interesting Perspective on Cornerstones
Notice the steps leading up to the first floor like we see on almost all old buildings.
Paris, Idaho is nothing but a small blip on a map. If you blink your eyes as you drive through you'll miss it. This building was said to have been built between 1884 and 1889, with the rock being hauled from Indian Creek Canyon by oxen-drawn wagons nearly 18 miles away. Paris is 60 miles from Logan and 141 miles from Salt Lake City. It seems strange that a branch of the Church in Paris would need such a large building to meet in considering that even today the population of this small town is only around 500 people.
Isn't it interesting how when brick and stone structures "burn" they leave partial walls and rubble that appear as if a bomb went off?
Here just above the black car that is furthest left you can kind of see a a smudge that may be a cornerstone placard. If you zoom in on the photo you can see two people standing on the lawn on the left side of the building who look disproportionately small next to the structure. It certainly appears as if this photo has been tampered with.
