	Gadiantons and the Silver Sword: A Novel - FARMS Review
		Gadiantons and the Silver Sword comes as a sequel to Heimerdinger's 1989 novel Tennis Shoes among the Nephites.
		The plot involves a race by the young Nephite Muleki and another group from his time who are the representatives of the Gadiantons to find this sword that has been stolen from them and taken through the time tunnel.
		The reader of Gadiantons is given an exciting non-stop ride while "good" does battle with the dark side as a society's future hangs in the balance.

	Gadianton robbers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The murder was announced and the culprit identified by Nephi the son of Helaman.
		The Gadiantons initially had the upper hand in the war, and in AD 16, the Gadianton leader Giddianhi sent a letter to the Nephite governor Lachoneus demanding surrender.
		In AD 21, however, the Nephites defeated the Gadiantons, killing both Giddianhi and his successor Zemnarihah, and the society was destroyed for the second time.

		This, of course, is the prime goal of the Gadianton robbers. They are first mentioned in Helaman 2:4, about 50 BC. Their first leader was “one Gadianton, who was exceedingly expert in many words, and also in his craft, to carry on the secret work of murder and of robbery.”
		Gadiantons interested in power are at a low ebb in Latin America today, but there are worrying signs for the future. Gadiantons interested in money, such as drug traffickers and street gangs, are as powerful as ever.
		The Book of Mormon record shows that Gadianton groups have a strange ability to disappear for decades and even hundreds of years (from 34 AD until about 260 AD) and then begin to operate again. The geography and history of the Americas indicate a special propensity to Gadianton-like activity.

		Clearly, Mormon and Moroni are worried about the Gadiantons: “And behold, in the end of this book ye shall see that this Gadianton did prove the overthrow, yea, almost the entire destruction of the people of Nephi.” (Helaman 2:14).

	Helaman 11
		The Gadiantons remained in power, retained the “voice of the people,” and most of all, retained their desire to transform Nephite society into something different from what it was.
		When the Gadiantons were in power in Zarahemla, the murders were political and the plundering was most probably a form of military exercise to create tribute cities.
		One piece of information that is of note is that these Gadiantons are causing destruction “also among the people of the Lamanites.” Even though there were Lamanites who were part of the group that founded the Gadiantons, Mormon is setting the Gadiantons apart as a separate conceptual unit from both Lamanite and Nephite.

		What the Gadiantons do not realize is that the very economic forces that were allowing them to become wealthier would lead to their downfall.
		Obliquely, Nephi is using that metaphor for the destruction of the Gadiantons.
		Nephi tells his audience that their acceptance of the Gadianton program is also accepting the ills of the Gadiantons, including this most vile murder for gain.

		“The Gadiantons, terrible as they were, are treated more as a symptom than as a disease: the society that has them is sick, but they are like maggots that prey only on dead tissue; they simply exploit the evil situation that gives them their opportunity.” (Adapted from Since Cumorah, pp.
		Indeed, the Gadianton robbers are Satan’s “temple recommend holders.” He substitutes secret combinations for sacred covenants, sinister oaths for solemn promises, secret signs for sacred signs, and secret words for holy phrases.

		Later, they were a threat to the Nephite and Lamanite nations when the Gadianton combinations, over a period of many years, challenged the constitutional authorities and eventually seized power.
		The concerted effort of the whole populace later defeated the Gadiantons, but others rose in their place.
		The Book of Mormon details the tactics and strategies of the Gadiantons, mentions a variety of counter-measures, and shows that a secret combination was responsible for the final downfall of the Nephites (Hel.

	Times & Seasons » Modern Gadiantons?
		I don’t want to reduce the question of Gadianton robbers to “there’s good and bad in all of us, let’s have a group hug.” But the natural tendency to regard our opponents in human conflicts as evil followers of Satan is one that should not be indulged in lightly.
		Are modern Gadiantons not also all the people in this world today, who in one way or the other support such secret abominations (at personal, family, local, regional, national and international level) by their ignorance, by their words and their deeds.
		It is important to understand that Gadianton’s phenomenal success was due to the fact that the majority of the whole Nephite nation submitted to his plan of operation and his philosophy “and did build up unto themselves idols of their gold and their silver.

		Toward the end of 18 AD, the Gadianton armies began to come down from the hills and mountains and out of their secret places and wilderness strongholds, taking possession of the lands in the north and south that had been deserted by the Nephites.

		The Gadianton robbers were a "secret combination" discussed in the Book of Mormon (starting at Helaman 2, and discussed in various places thereafter) who used conspiracy, assassination, violence, and other methods in a bid for political power in Book of Mormon civilization.
		But the story in 3 Nephi gets particularly interesting, as the Gadiantons start insisting that they are the legitimate rulers of the country.
		The main difference between that story and the situation in which we find ourselves now lies in the relative strengths of the parties involved.

		And we meet someone (a close family friend named Muleki) from the Book of Mormon past, who also comes into the future to warn the good guys and gals about the bad guys, be their body guard and nearly gets killed in the process.
		The moral tale is about not falling for belief systems that purport to speak truth with just a twist of the absurd (the episodes on the off-world scam – also by Todd Finley - he’s a real bad egg).
		The real battle begins on the Hill Rama (last battleground of the Jaredites) as the sword sought by the Gadiantons takes on a life of its own.

	J. Scott Iverson's feature film: Roadshow!
		The original Garden Park Ward roadshow, written by Jeri Jarvis and excerpted with her permission, fits perfectly with the fictional events in the lives of the main characters, operating within the Vietnam War era in Salt Lake City, circa 1965.
		Furthermore, the ironies of the serio-comic battles between the "Gilmerites" and "Gadiantons," along with the battles themselves, set against the backdrop of the Vietnam era, will provide great camera fodder for the movie trailer.
		Meanwhile, it appears that the Gadiantons have won, but the Gilmerites lure them into a trap at their Gully Hideout.

		During our recent reading of 3 Nephi, a particular part of the pride cycle raised some interesting political and spiritual questions for me. In 3 Nephi chapter 4, the Nephite nation has just overcome and destroyed the Gadianton robbers, at great cost.
		And now behold, there was not a living soul among all the people of the Nephites who did doubt in the least the words of all the holy prophets who had spoken; for they knew that it must needs be that they must be fulfilled.
		And for the first time, I made a possible connection between the quick return to wickedness and the influence of the Gadiantons.

		The Gadiantons had the audacity to demand to be taken seriously as the legitimate representatives of the people over them they had seized power.
		They made impressive sounding but hollow claims in their quest for power, and readily found dupes among the Nephites (kingmen and order of Nehors types) who supported them internally.

		He commonly includes stories of the Gadiantons because he has already seen the role the Gadiantons played in the final destruction of his people (Mormon 1:18).
		He is fatalistic about the Nephites, not just because he knows of prophecies concerning their destruction, but because he has already witnessed their fall.
