Track Two

In a lengthy speech I found that Cleon Skousen gave at Grantsville High School in 1992, he spoke about the Life of J. Reuben Clark as a statesman, diplomat, and prophet of God. President Clark led a very interesting life. I'm not sure if this is OK, but I'm going to put the whole talk here since it was a public address of some sort. As I said, it's lengthy, but it sets up the concept of Track Two and explains very clearly how these secret combinations came into effect and how President Clark saw them first hand since he was hired by them.

Mentioned in that speech are talks J. Reuben Clark gave in 1923 in Salt Lake City at the Tabernacle, and in General Conference in 1938, 1941, and 1952. I have never been able to locate the speech he gave in 1923, but here are the other three speeches.

So what is Track Two? It is quietly going to work learning all that we can about the constitution and agency of man that God has given us, and preparing at a moments notice to switch a speeding train from a dead end track back to a place that will save the lives of those passengers. In a sense, we're all on that train and constructing Track Two by the process of educating ourselves about the constitution. The more we learn and the better prepared we are to restore our constitution the smoother the transition will be when Track One is nearing its end.

"In questions of power then, let no more be heard of confidence in man, but bind him down from mischief by the chains of the Constitution."
- Thomas Jefferson

The problems we face are a direct result of public apathy in our leaders changing the text or meaning of the constitution as it was originally given and the full support and compliance of the media to not bring those things to our attention or downplay them. The "talking heads" syndrome creates the impression that we can't do anything because we think things are too big and insurmountable. But we can!
