That name usually refers to the "lost" Israeli tribe of Dan, and probably has some connection with the Mormon teaching that an Israeli tribe or tribes migrated to North America when the Jews were driven out of their homeland hundreds of years before Christ's first advent. Or maybe it was after the Romans razed Jerusalem and drove out the Jews in 70 AD, I don't remember the exact details.
IIRC, according to the book the native American tribes were supposedly in the midst of a major internecine war at the time the fleeing Jews arrived in America, or something like that. It's been a long time since I tried to read the Book of Mormon in various Utah hotel rooms where it's placed the same way that bibles are in many other areas, and when I tried I usually fell asleep before getting very far into it.
“Mormon Mossad”

The mormon Danites were and are nothing like the Israeli Mossad.
You forget our own enforcer here on FreeRepublic, tracer (now banned), who threatened to shut down the whole site if Jim Robinson didn’t toe the Mormon line. He admitted that he had often sat on excommunication hearings (or whatever they are called).
But some people just wish to remain blind.
On the Larry King show on April 6th she said, "I have a right to worship any damn thing that I want and wear any damn clothes that I want and I'm sick of hearing how stupid and retarded we are."
She also has a few rambling posts on the Texas Polygamy website.
“Freepers shouldn’t feel more than a twinge of identification with these cultists......”
This entire post of yours is great and nothing more needs to be said.
The whole "Super Seekrit Mormon Enforcers" had me imagining men in ridiculous magical underwear not-so-stealthily bumbling around...
Great post, CC...archived.
LMAO. It must be a fear of prairie dresses. I have heard of arachnophobia,liticaphobia,theophobia,gynephobia,mycrophobia, and eurotophobia. Never heard of prairiedressphobia though.
I suffer from politiophobia and tyrannophobia.
“Exactly, and well said.”
Thank you and praise the Lord, not the one that lives on Kolob either.

They not only have a case, they have a slam dunk in federal court.
No prairie dress on this modern-day Texas Danite....
For any who refuse to ackowledge they exist.
MY NAME IS WILLIAM HEBER LeBARON,
FEDERAL PRISONER NUMBER 22254-077
Yes, that means I’m in federal prison. I am currently serving multiple life sentences after having been convicted of four cult-related murders in Texas.
I was born a fifth-generation Mormon. My father’s name is Ervil M. LeBaron. He was the founder and leader of “The Church of the Lamb of God,” the most notorious and violent of the polygamous offshoots of the Mormon Church.

>> So your saying they can’t exist?
No, I’m making fun of the fact that you and others reach back 150 years to convince yourselves that Danites DO exist right now. That’s just silly. And y’all think the Mormons are weird and illogical.
>> Polygamy is still being practiced, why wouldn’t they have their own band of Danites?
It looks like you read a lot. Try to work an article or two on logic into your reading list. Those two statements do not form the basis for a reasonable argument, let alone any kind of proof.
>> Here some modern day stories about the “enforcement arm” of the regular LDS Church.
Thanks, but these are neither journalism nor are they scholarly research, they’re hysteria. Let’s see: in the heading of the first one I find:
“What type of gooks, geeks and gumshoes protect the brethren?” Nope! No anti-LDS bias there! No sir!
The second item you linked attempts to take a scholarly tone, but it’s pretty clear that the author is a relative with an axe to grind.
If you have something approaching scholarly research or real journalism** that exposes or offers verifiable evidence of a modern-day (F)LDS enforcement sect, then please post it. I’ll be glad to have a look. I’m not a Mormon, nor do I support either polygamy or statutory rape. I DO have VERY STRONG opinions about the slippery slope that unconstitutional state persecution of religious groups puts us onto. I also have very strong opinions about extragovernmental forces like CPS; I think they spend too much money, tend to become left-wing indoctrination centers, and fill up with agenda-driven leftists. THOSE are my reasons for bristling at the hysteria of the “to hell with the constitution, and reason, and logic, kill all the mormons NOW!” types here on Free Republic.
That’s my position. I’ll probably continue to yank your chains here, just for kicks. Seriously, y’all look like a bunch of rabid dogs. Your illogic and self-righteous blather would be right at home on DU, but on FR, it’s embarrassing, even if occasionally funny.
If it makes y’all feel better to think that I’m a card-carrying Danite, and you outed me, then knock yourselves out. I think that’s funny too. The dog that yelped, indeed! ROFL!
FRegards.
**PS Not to put too fine a point on it, but I think the lack of “real” journalism and research is, in fact, counter-evidence to the existence of a modern-day (F)LDS enforcement arm. The drive by media and left-wing scholars enjoy nothing more than ripping on religious nuts. If it were real, they’d have been all over it.
You got everything but the standard “in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen” in your refutation on anything negative whatsoever to do with these law-breaking cults.
No go and have a nice interview with your bishie.
>> Would that be why you post a silly banner which is itself propagandistic and without logic, but merely a taunt?
WOWEE! (the taunt part, anyway)
Yer smarter than I gave you credit for!
Give yerself a big ol’ pat on the back. Your analytical skills are nothing short of awesome.
I learned a lot about you in that short reply. You don’t seem to really have the Christian character I gave you credit for, that you claim on your homepage. My mistake. I’ll pray for you.
Hypothetical question for you:
If you could look — really look — into my mind and heart and really KNOW — how accurate do you think the judgments about me you expose here in FR would really be?
It’s hypothetical, I’m not looking for an answer. Just think about it.
Wow, that is one crazy woman!
From the link, here are some of her ramblings. Later she gets into an arguement with her former husband/first cousin. Bizarre!
-—I am Ruth Cooke. I have had eight children. Four boys and Four girls. I married a man. He did sexually assult my daughter. He did walk away. He was a smooth talking Lier. He is married to a Women in Denver Colorado. She has little girls. one is his. She does not believe what he did to me. She has becume his enabler. Her children will pay the price. I married his buisness partner. I lived with him for one year. He did physacly and mently abuse me. He is also a smooth talking lier. He did help put me in a mentle hospital. I was trying to be good and obedient. I am not letting any one tell me what God does say to me. I think God is good ant telling me what to do. That is why I have a consience. I do walk a lot. I do go around with out a car. I am getting a truck. Some times I wonder what I would do with a truck, considering what I do walking. There are a lot of women out here, who are labled as crazy. There children are taken. One of the men fled to mexico, to excape his just judgement of our government. This is William Black. I am indede the crazy one. I reported abuse. I was put away for what these men did. They had the house. They had the money. They had the lawers. They had the smooth talking speach. They however do not have the light. The women have not forgotten. I heard yesterday, some one had there gun sight’s on Sam Barlow, and decided they did not want to go to Jail. I will tell all you, that feel this way: I hope Sam Barlow will be convicted of What he did, and you will not have to pay the debt for him. Murder is murder, no matter how you justify this. We have the witnesses. Let’s stop these men. Let’s at least tag them, by the state. This one is a molester. This one is a murder. Let’s give them the same curtisy as they gave the retards. I was tagged for life. No one can give my dead baby’s back to me. No one can give my son’s back as young teenage boys. No one can take the sorrow I suffered in that mentle hospital. It is done. It can not be undone. We can give these men a tag tho. Willard Marion Barlow. Murder, of Donna Marie Cooke. Shelly Gene Cooke, Molester of Donna Marie Cooke. Richard Henery Cooke, Murder of Marjene Cooke Holm, and an assisting party to the murder of Donna Marie Cooke. Marvin Roy Cooke, Acompice to attempted murder of Ruth Cooke Barlow, and Mitzi LaRae Barlow. Samuel Barlow, John Y. Barlows son, accompice to murder. covering up truth. Selling women to hell. Steven BArlow, accomplice to murder. Shelly Gene Cooke, Murder of Esther Ruth Cooke, and Kristle Dawn Cooke. Joe c Jessop, Child molester. Dan Barlow Jr. child molester. The witnesses are their, tag them. Good ol’ U. S. A. uphold the law. Tag them. that is the least you can do.
I just that God, that you are not my judge. I will pray for you too.
Warren Jeffs enlisted groups of men as the “Sons of Helaman,” to enter UEP members homes in Short Creek looking for unapproved literature, TVs, etc. Violators were excommunicated from the church and expelled from UEP property, with the men’s wives and children reassigned to more worthy FLDS patriarchs.
Modern day Danites?

Why bring that up Alice?
Don’t you care about the Constitution and how it was violated in Texas?
