In Quest for Empire, Klaus Hansen lays out the diabolical plan of the Mormon leaders since founder Joseph Smith, Jr. had himself crowned King of the Earth by the Council of the Fifty in 1844 not too long before his death.
Every successive leader of the Mormon Church has been also crowned "King of the Earth. Present Mormon Leader Thomas Monson is also crowned King of the Earth.
The semi-secret Council of the Fifty (spelled backwards in early times, "ytfif "in a clumsy attempt to conceal it) was created by Joseph Smith to prepare the way for the Mormon concept of the Kingdom of God on Earth. It is and has been relentless in that pursuit.
In the late 1950's it provided Israel with Uranium ore mined in southern Utah by which Israel, a non signatory to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, has developed and presently possesses at least twenty warheads.
It harbors the notion that the day will come when every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Jesus is the Christ and that Jews will cast aside Judaism and become members of the Church of Jesus Christ of latter-day Saints (Mormon). That the great temple of Solomon will be rebuilt on the temple mount in Jerusalem from where the word of the Lord will go forth.
It further harbors the notion that world law will go forth from Zion in Missouri where the "King of the Mormon notion of an earthly Vice-Regency of Christ, the Mormon Prophet, Seer and Revelator will direct the affairs of a totalitarian global government. Making laws and surreptitiously executing their enforcement using the Blood Atonement * doctrine [justified murder] as needed, Those who oppose it will be sinners against God who may need to be killed in order to maintain global subjection to the Mormon Prophet.
