Subject: Origin of the "Peace" symbol.

The peace symbol is a modern invention.

When Stalinist forces during the Cold War wanted to destroy U.S. sovereignty by stealth, they organized "peace" movements. These movements demanded that the Western countries unilaterally destroy all their nuclear weapons. Since these groups were all communist-led, there were neve any disarmament demonstrations in Soviet-held territory.

The sign itself was derived from the semaphore signals for "N" and "D," i.e., "nuclear disarmament." However, since their was no "U" for "universal nuclear disarmament," the movement was essentially the same as the gun control movement -- make all weapons illegal so that only criminals will possess them.

That is why, to any knowledgable person over the age of 40, the Peace Symbol is a rather disgusting piece of symbolism. Unlike the Cross, which has become blessed because of the Savior who died on it, the Peace symbol is cursed by the deaths of the millions killed by those who hatched the idea of the "Peace" movement.

One of the unanswered questions is why Dr. Smith invited a known communist and supporter of terrorism, who had sponsored in the construction of a tyrannical communist regime, to speak on "Peace" at the Kirtland Temple.

That's just another reason for disgust.

Of course, you can put a Peace symbol in the hands of a five-year old and say, "How could you object to anything a child does?" That sort of thing will go on until someone gives the child an assault weapon; then it won't be such a useful propaganda tool. The people looted by the nine-year-old in the U.K. would most likely agree.
