1. Canadian Money
We are very pleased and honored to
receive orders and donations from Canada.
If you live in Canada and you wish
to forward money to us, please do it in
one of
the following ways:
a. by Canadian check on a Canadian
bank in Canadian dollars.
OR
b. by Canadian check in US dollars
on a Canadian bank that has a branch
(written on the check)
in the USA.
OR
c. by US check in US dollars on a US
bank
BUT
Please DO NOT send us a check in US
dollars on a Canadian bank that has NOT
a branch (written on the check)
in the USA. Such a check is very difficult
for us to cash in Israel.
2. Brit-Am Encompasses all the Others
Brit-Am exists to reveal the truth
of Lost Israelite Identity and to spread
such knowledge. This is the primary
purpose of
Brit-Am and the emphasis must always
be on this. Let all Brit-Am branches
and all our supporters and activists
take note of this.
We exist for the sake of our Brit-Am
identity and we should always remember
that and let others know it.
In addition to the above, Brit-Am also:
* Promotes Jewish and Israelite national
causes.
* works for the strengthening of the
Jewish State of Israel and the
settlements in Judah and Samaria.
*runs a news service giving information
about Israel and in favor of Israel
that many people might otherwise not
be aware of.
*Is in favor a Jewish presence on the
Temple Mount and rebuilding the Temple.
*Believes that the borders of the Jewish
state should stretch from the Nine
to the Euphrates.
*Believes that the "Palestinians" should
be transported elsewhere.
*Advocates a strong healthy Israel.
*fights anti-semitism and anti-Jewish
tendencies wherever they are to be found.
* Is against abortion anywhere in the
world.
*Favors Biblical morality in the USA
and elsewhere.
*Believes in a strong USA, a strong
Britain, and strong Israelite nations.
*Is for Bible-believers everywhere
and study of the Bible.
*advocates morality and family values.
*Is for a rapprochement between "Joseph"
and "Judah".
Brit-Am is for all of the above and
pushes the cause of all the above.
Other organizations exist that are
specifically devoted to one or other of
the said subjects. We sympathize with
such groups but we do not have to
publicly come out in favor of them
especially when they do not reciprocate
in favor of Brit-Am.
We do as well as the other groups do
in pushing the listed values when
account is taken of our limited means
and distribution. A member of Brit-Am
who wishes to support any of the
listed values can do so within the
framework of support for Brit-Am
or outside of Brit-Am in one
of the other groups. Brit-Am publications and
meetings however belong to Brit-Am
and should not be "lent" for the
advantage of other organizations.
Also we should never lose sight of
our own uniqueness and purpose.
3. Contributions
Brit-Am performs a good and needed
service. Brit-Am is doing the will of
the Almighty. Anyone who helps Brit-Am
will
be blessed. Money received by
Brit-Am goes to the needs of Brit-Am.
If you are not giving to Brit-Am with
a full heart do not do so, or at the
least, keep it to yourself.
From our point of view, we are
justified in asking for contributions. We
receive contributions gratefully.
Those who give to us will be rewarded
from heaven and their reward is not
dependent on us.
By helping Brit-Am you will be helping
others and yourselves.
Please send contributions to Brit-Am
in order to help the Brit-Am cause.
We are a small organization. A lot
of people do not contribute and may
never do so though in other ways
they can be good and generous. We have
a duty to help guide all those we
can. Please take account of
this and give generously and gladly.
4. Tribal Symbols: Second Thoughts on
the USA?
The dominant colors of the Tabernacle
and of the Israelite Nation were red,
white, and blue. These three colors,
or at least two of them, are still
found on the flags of most Israelite-descended
nations.
Characteristics of Identification from
the Book of Numbers included:
The use of tribal standards around
the Tabernacle (2:2). These standards
in most cases depicted symbols similar
to those still present on the
national coats-of-arms of nations in
which the relevant tribe is prevalent.
Midrash Numbers Rabah (2:7) The banner
of Reuben depicted mandrakes whose
flower is similar to the French fleur-de-lis.
Simeon had a green banner and
green is the national color of Ireland.
Levi had the Urim and Tumim that
wore worn as part of the breastplate
of the High Priest in the Temple
service. Judah was represented by a
lion. Issachar had the sun and the moon
representing the keeping of time and
the accuracy and reliability of Swiss
watches. Zebulon was a ship which is
the traditional symbol of Holland. Dan
was represented by a snake or serpent
like the Welsh dragon. Gad had the
picture of an encampment of troops.
Naphtali had a female deer and the deer
became a symbol of Scandinavian royalty
and nobility. Asher had an olive
tree and his descendants settled in
the north of Britain and became
important in the USA which also employs
an olive branch as part of its
symbols. Ephraim and Menasseh were
the sons of Joseph and the symbol of
both these tribes together was a picture
of Egypt just like the USA Great
Seal depicts a pyramid that immediately
recalls Egypt. On the banner of
Ephraim was a bull and the English
are nicknamed "John Bull". Menasseh had
the picture of a unicorn. The symbol
of Scotland depicted two unicorns and
that of Britain depicts a unicorn and
lion. Descendants of the Scots became
important in the USA.
Note that the symbol of both Ephraim
and Menasseh together was a picture of
Egypt meaning the US Great Seal.
Perhaps in many respects both Ephraim
and Menasseh together are dominant in
the USA even though
Menasseh is predominant?
5. Rusty: British soldiers salute the
Cambria.
The young British soldiers are commissioned
to go to war in the Sudan. They
are excited for the opportunity to
prove their valour. The soldiers stand
up and make a salute to England however
instead of saying England they call
their country and people, 'Cambria!"
Also when I was 15, I went to Wales
with my good pal Richard Oaten who
was born in Gardiff Wales. We went to
Carphilly Castle which was the oldest
castle I went to during my trip. The
historic information about the castle
states Carphilly Castle was built by
the Cymry around the time when Christian
Literalists said Christ was born.

6. Captive Jews amongst Hispanics
Subject: Re: [anusim] Digest Number
1135 To: anusim@yahoogroups.com
Greetings Michah'el,
Atencio Hordes, " Sephardic Legacy
in New Mexico" :
" In 1590 Onate, a Jew was chosen to
head an expedition north to New
Mexico. Born in Zacatecas, Onate was
married to Isabela Tolosa . Onate
recruited survivors of Castano de Sosa;
Juan de Victoria Carvajal, Luis
Lopez, Alonso Jaimes, Juan de Rodriguez,
Francisco Hernandez, Miguel
Rodriguez, and Antonion Rodriguez which
were all proven Inquisition
fugitives" it seems that Castano de
Sosa was Luis Carvajal El Mozo's
military commander. After Luis Carvajal
El Mozo's death, by burning at
the stake, De Sosa rounded up 170 colonists
and headed north to Nuevo
Leon. They were arrested for an illegal
expedition and were brought back
where they were sentenced for sedition
and Judaizing. Their mission
was not signed nor permitted by the
proper authorities. Castano de Sosa
and his soldiers were Spanish Crypto
Jews and are later found on Onate's
list for the expedition he led into
northern New Mexico and southern
Colorado. Onate left Mexico on January
26, 1598 with 129 soldiers, some with
families, 5400 sheep, 1200 heads of
cattle, and 88,000 beads for
trading purposes.
Best Regards,
Elizabeth Nelsen
7. Other "Identity" Organizations and
Beliefs.
Several other organizations exist that
have an Identity message similar to
that of Brit-Am. Some of these groups
are pro-Israel and very positive and
have published valuable works on the
Identity subject. Others are anti-semitic
and negative. None of them really push
the Identity message but rather
emphasize other matters.
The same thing must not happen to us.
Brit-Am Identity beliefs and Biblical
truths should always be emphasized.
Brit-Am says that the Lost Ten tribes
of Israel are today primarily to be
found amongst Western peoples.
Another category exists of "Captive
Jews" and remnants of the Tribes who
were dispersed to other regions.
Brit-Am has also recognized this second
category. A lady from India
represented us at a conference in Britain
and has been active in Brit-Am affairs.
A gentleman from Jamaica (descended
from Portuguese Jews) has spoken on
our behalf.
We do not have to justify ourselves
to anybody apart from the Almighty.
The emphasis remains on the Lost Tribes
being mainly in the west and
spreading knowledge of this truth.
Other ideas can be put forward by other
people in other frameworks. Not by us.
Brit-Am has its own sphere of responsibility.
The Conference we just held in Jerusalem
was very successful. Nevertheless
some people tried to bring up other
Identity
doctrines and other matters even though
they had been requested not to. I
thought we dealt well with the matter
and their presence was hardly
noticed. Likewise there exist
elements that want to exploit Brit-Am for
other purposes or to stop Brit-Am altogether.
Adversaries to the Brit-Am organization
and message do exist and not all of
them have come out into the open.
As long as we insist on an emphasis
on Brit-Am Identity belief and the
Bible we should overcome opposing forces
and, with the Help of God, move forward.
