How the Interpreters perpetrated the racist Peter Pan fraud

Apparently Dan has decided to perpetuate the Peter Pan disaster by discussing it on his blog.

Some, probably most, of the readers of the Interpreter have not watched Bill Reel's expose of the Peter Pan fiasco. Here is part of a summary.

At one point, Bill points out that Mike Parker and other Interpreters apparently claimed that Bill would show excerpts from the video Mike did with Robert Boylan. Instead, as anyone can see, Bill played the entire thing. What Bill adds is that it was Mike and Robert who edited out a key part of their recording!

In the since-deleted passage, Mike describes the complicity of the Interpreter magazine and labels the entire episode as a "sort of a joke."

Here is the transcript from the part of the video in which Bill played a portion of the video that Mike and his friends edited out of the one they put up on youtube.

Mike Parker and Robert Boylan talking 

People can watch it starting here: https://youtu.be/Jhu3TSjDHj0?t=9136

2:32:16 Bill Reel: they accused us, they said we were going to cut up clips and take everything out of context. We didn't do that. We played the whole thing. uh I don't think there's anything that we needed to do like I think it's so plain to people who are watching this this obfuscation and dishonesty that I don't have a need to paint a new narrative. 

We're the ones I think who are telling the truth on this issue but it is important to note that they actually did cut out a clip and we'll play that right now.

2:32:46 Mike Parker: but about this same time um Spencer Krause is getting ready to publish his reviews in Interpreter of two of Jonathan Neville's books and he offered as kind of a lighthearted uh sort of humorous thing in his acknowledgments at the bottom that he was going to thank several people and he mentioned me by name you know thanks so-and-so and Mike Parker for this and I also thank the pseudonymous Peter Pan who operates the Neville Neville land blog, you know. 

And so this was kind of a haha sort of a joke but also you know maybe a light way of kind of just throwing people off the scent.

Bill: It's another admittance of throwing people off the scent.

At this point of the video, Bill shows where the Interpreters first invented their racist alter ego for Peter Pan.



on the left hand side you can see

18:08

Robert Bolin at LDS apologist or apologen and he's got an image of

18:15

Brigham Young holding a firearm and he's not it's not even pointing it at uh

18:21

ex-mormons or anti-mormons right which you sort of can get instead he says

18:26

Brigham Young has a message for progmos Progressive Mormons these are believing uh Latter-Day Saints on some level

18:34

and they're active in the church on some level and he's got Brigham Young pointing a firearm at him so if that's

18:40

any indication of the kind of messaging he seems really comfortable with

18:45

uh it's also of note that he has worked closely with Fair Mormon I've got an image of one of the podcasts that they

18:50

did a Sunday special with Robert and he also works closely with The

18:56

Interpreter I'm gonna play the audio of him for the very first time this is the

19:01

very first mention of Richard Nygren uh anything you want to say before we play the video well I just want to say I'm

19:07

friends with a lot of progressive Mormons um very good friends and I when I look at this image

19:14

and I think of the who he wants to have that gun pointed at I'm I find that to be very sad and very

19:20

unchristian yeah it's super absolutely offensive for sure um okay so here uh is that video clip

19:28

and if you'll just give me a thumbs up as it starts to play to let me know if the sound is playing okay and uh we'll

19:34

be good oh I should have mentioned uh loudly

19:40

life into true.blogspot.com and of course there's also Russian migrants blog Neville Neville land a

19:47

Blog critique in Johnson Neville mainly but also other Herbert proponents where he posted a nickname Peter Pan uh

19:54

Richard is one of only a few African-American apologists in the church at the moment and he lives in

19:59

Birmingham Alabama um so be sure to check those out as well in

20:05

the show notes Okay so

20:11

and it's important to note that nowhere else on the internet

20:17

anywhere is is there a uh black believing Latter-Day Saint defending the

20:23

church under the name of Richard Nygren this is the very first time that anyone in the LDS Mormon World heard the name

20:32

Richard Nygren and it comes out of the mouth of Robert Bolin
