 Urgent News Flashes: Beware of Lies  

  Rumor Mongers  
 and the Remnant of Israel  

BEWARE OF FALSE REPORTS!

Every now and again someone publishes a "alarm" as if something horrible is taking place in Israel (or elsewhere) at this very moment and we need to do something about it. Such an eventuality could take place but in most cases these "alarms" are the products of rumor-mongers and nut-cases who do more harm than good.
Some very frightening events are liable to take place in the Land of Israel and elsewhere any time now. Nevertheless stay calm and be careful in what you believe. Not so long ago a news "report" went out as if the State of Israel was being occupied by a foreign army. The report was posted all over the e-mail circuits on the web. Several people turned to us for a reaction. Below is the notice we sent out at the time. The points made are pertinent whenever similar horror stories surface again.
Date: Tue, 12 Apr 2005
People have been sending me reports that suggest a foreign invasion (or its equivalent, i.e. some form of take-over) of Israel taking place now.
It could conceivably happen
BUT IT HAS NOT!
At least not as far as I or anyone else around me knows of.
In the First World War the Germans committed atrocities in Belgium and elsewhere. The Allied Propaganda Machine reported these atrocities and exaggerated them as well as inventing new ones. It was said that the "Huns" were killing babies and making soap out of human body fat. The War was won and the lies were revealed for what they were.
Along came WW11 and reports began to reach the West that the Germans were once again not acting nicely.
The reports sounded sometimes quite horrendous.
Many assumed that the horror news and rumors were exaggerations and a more sophisticated development of the Propaganda falsehoods of WW1.
It took some time, often until the end of WW11 and later, before it was widely understood that this time not only were the initial horror stories not exaggerated but grossly understated.

KEEP THEE FAR FROM A FALSE MATTER [Exodus 23:7] "FALSE MATTER": Hebrew "Davar Sheker" translatable as "Lying Word".

"I HATE EVERY FALSE WAY" [Psalms 119:128].

[Proverbs 12:22] LYING LIPS ARE ABOMINATION TO THE LORD: BUT THEY THAT DEAL TRULY ARE HIS DELIGHT.

[Zechariah 8:16] THESE ARE THE THINGS THAT YE SHALL DO; SPEAK YE EVERY MAN THE TRUTH TO HIS NEIGHBOUR; EXECUTE THE JUDGMENT OF TRUTH AND PEACE IN YOUR GATES:

It sometimes seems to happen that by people saying something that is not so they almost make it so. This sounds superstitious and maybe it is but we all need to keep calm and seek the truth.
This applies everywhere.
We ourselves when trying to convince others of the truth of Brit-Am are sometimes tempted to present matters that are no more than reasonable probabilities as proven facts. If however we ever give in to such pulls they are liable to prove counter-productive.
People instinctively recognize (at least at some subconscious level) the truth or the lack of it.

[Amos 5:15] HATE THE EVIL, AND LOVE THE GOOD, AND ESTABLISH JUDGMENT IN THE GATE: IT MAY BE THAT THE LORD GOD OF HOSTS WILL BE GRACIOUS UNTO THE REMNANT OF JOSEPH.

Extracts from the False Report:


"Word From Y'erushalaim
".....There is a convoy of American jeeps and military equipment that is miles long. Coming into Israel." What is going on?
....US government are bringing in troops that will in-fact enforce its implementation.
This second such entry of foreign troops into Israel is quite frightening, especially since the Israeli public have not been told about this invasion of our land by foreign troops....
"RED ALERT!"

RED ALERT! AMERICAN COMBAT TROOPS IN NOW IN ISRAEL
".....Then at closer scrutiny I noticed that the soldiers wore the new "nazi" helmet of the American combat soldier. I then noticed good ol' American boys: blacks, whites, Puerto Ricans, sitting in the humvees....
"In other words this convoy was trying to hide its real identity

"We have even heard rumors that German policemen with war-horses (what a horrific irony if this is true) would be employed to help remove the Jew from their homes.

The above report was a complete invention but quite a few were taken in by it. Who put it out? Why?

It is true that some left-wing free-thinkers in Israel at times have openly invited foreign interference. Senior officials of the EU have also been caught "thinking aloud" about using force against Israel and I would not put it past some US politicians and Administration people.
This does not mean however that it will happen or even that it is likely to do so.

Remember Y2K? All the computer systems in governmental, banking, and large-scale production were supposed to stop due to a technical oversight at a minute after midnight as we entered the year 2000. Thousands believed in it and millions gave it some credence. An associate and friend of mine in the USA invested part of the limited resources he had in a caravan well-stocked with emergency supplies to keep him going through the chaos he was convinced would break out. Nothing happened.
Very few said anything.
Business as usual. No apologies, no contrition, no "we were mistaken", nothing.
The Conspiracy freaks and witchdoctors returned to their drawing boards.
Do not be a "sucker". Do not be an easy victim of the deceivers. You are forbidden to make yourself a "mark"


THOU SHALT NOT CURSE THE DEAF, NOR PUT A STUMBLINGBLOCK BEFORE THE BLIND, BUT SHALT FEAR THY GOD: I AM THE LORD [Leviticus 19:14]. This verse can be interpreted to suggest (in addition to its simple meaning) that One must not take advantage of the vulnerable (do not curse the deaf) and one must not be a cause of temptation (a stumbling block) before others who may find it difficult not to take advantage of the opportunity.

In Conclusion:
Keep away from a false matter.

HOW CAN YOU KNOW THE TRUTH?
We are all human and we can all be misled or make mistakes.
Be prepared for the possibility that you may be wrong.
Try and verify information you consider potentially important with other sources.


AT THE MOUTH OF TWO WITNESSES, OR AT THE MOUTH OF THREE WITNESSES, SHALL THE MATTER BE ESTABLISHED (Deuteronomy 19:15).

What is the record of your present source? How logical is it? Does it ring true? What are its implications?

Could someone have an agenda in wanting to mislead you? Do you want to believe it for some reason and is this conscious or subconscious wish clouding your judgment?

"FOR A GIFT [Hebrew: "Shochad" meaning "bribery"] DOTH BLIND THE EYES OF THE WISE, AND PERVERT THE WORDS OF THE RIGHTEOUS" (Deuteronomy 16:19).

Have you been misled in the past and if so, is the present scenario similar?

Tell the truth yourself as much as you are able, i.e. try to avoid white lies, exaggerations, unsubstantiated speculation, etc. Someone who tells the truth should find it easier to instinctively recognize it in others. Stay calm and try to be in contact with that inner "still, small voice" God has placed within you:

" AND HE SAID, GO FORTH, AND STAND UPON THE MOUNT BEFORE THE LORD. AND, BEHOLD, THE LORD PASSED BY, AND A GREAT AND STRONG WIND RENT THE MOUNTAINS, AND BRAKE IN PIECES THE ROCKS BEFORE THE LORD; BUT THE LORD WAS NOT IN THE WIND: AND AFTER THE WIND AN EARTHQUAKE; BUT THE LORD WAS NOT IN THE EARTHQUAKE:
"AND AFTER THE EARTHQUAKE A FIRE; BUT THE LORD WAS NOT IN THE FIRE: AND AFTER THE FIRE A STILL SMALL VOICE. [1-Kings 19:11-12]

Brit-Am also makes claims that are not generally accepted and whose implications could be very important to you and your family and nation. Brit-Am however endeavors to present the truth along with the sources and logical deductions that confirm the truth and that can be checked and verified.
The best thing we can do as individuals is strengthen our belief, lead good lives, support Israel, support our peoples, and support Brit-Am.
