Here's a snippet of the .pdf of his 'complete' remarks:
With that in mind, I am announcing the formation of a Scriptural Review
Committee on Race. This committee is composed of representatives from The Quorum of
the Twelve, The Relief Society, The Seventy and key members of BYU and CES faculty
in sociology and race relations and will be presided over by the President of the Genesis
Group. The committee will take the next 6 months to review our current body of modern
revealed canonized scripture and identify those faults of men around racism which have
been left uncorrected. They will consult with experts in sociology, race relations, and
theology from both inside and outside of the church and present their recommendations at
the October General Conference this fall. Those recommendations may take the form of
additional footnotes, updated headers, additional explanatory text or even full removal of
offending passages."...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd. Do you think it's possible for you to post without using words like "hilarious," "absurd," "canard," and "truther"? Your bare assertions do not make it so. Maybe your reasoning is too stunted and your vocabulary is too limited to go without these epithets."

It's interesting how fast and convincingly the hoaxsters put out the phony website. Here's an accurate one: https://www.mormonnewsroom.org/artic...nal-leadership

That is a very complete hoax. Who would put all that time into that? What's the payoff?Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

Upon rejecting the Beatles, Dick Rowe told Brian Epstein of the January 1, 1962 audition for Decca, which signed Brian Poole and the Tremeloes instead.

If you view the source of both articles, you can see that much of the layout/formatting was unchanged. Local copies of assets (images, style sheets, etc) were made, but tools for cloning a website exist in abundance.
The text of the fake article itself and the fake transcript could take some time to author, but could have been collaboratively authored.

The domreg and the copy/paste job to construct the single page website (plus a pdf transcript) wouldn't take that much time. Domreg is private through domains.google. Hosting account is at Digital Ocean. Both cheap and easy. The authors did go through the trouble to try and make a convincing reverse IP, which is config'd for "origin.lds.org" and "ldsmaps.com".
