This afternoon — at 5:15 p.m. EST — CNN’s website was again busy misinforming and distorting the non-involvement of the Mormon Church in the YFZ affair, falsely drawing an indirect connection between the Mormons and prior criminal activity by the man who, by all appearances, was falsely accused of abusing the 16-year-old YFZ informant who doesn’t exist:
Barlow, who met with authorities over the weekend and was not arrested, is a member of a rogue branch of the Mormon church that runs the Texas ranch. He is serving three years of probation after pleading no contest last year to charges of conspiracy to have sex with a minor.
Fact: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (the Mormons) does not have any “rogue branches” nor does it “run” or have any other connection with the YFZ Ranch. The YFZs are no more Mormons or Latter-Day Saints than the Baptists are Catholics. It’s that simple.
Another fact alluded to above: The Texas Rangers met with and interviewed Barlow and decided not to arrest him. Must have been a really credible caller who touched off the Texas invasion of the YFZ compound in El Dorado.
