Jeremy Nell on his TNT internet radio show, Jerm Warfare interviews Tom Compton of We Hold These Truths about the theology of Christian Zionism and how it relates to Israel's current punitive war on Gaza. At the time of the interview over 11,000 Palestinians in Gaza have been killed by Israel. Over 4,000 of those killed were children. We Hold These Truths has conducted over 200 vigils since 2002 like this one at the Southern Baptist Convention's annual meeting in Phoenix. Jeremy Nell is an award-winning political cartoonist from South Africa, whose work has been featured in numerous publications, in various languages, around the world since 2005. His website Jerm Warfare and podcasts, discuss counter-narrative ideas, and have featured some of the greatest minds in the world, such as Robert Kennedy, David Icke, Victor Davis Hanson, Peter McCullough, John McAfee, and Scott Adams.

Steve Elkins, host of The National Intel Report on the Republic Broadcasting Network, interviews Tom Compton, one of the founding directors of We Hold These Truths (WHTT) about Zionized Christianity. WHTT has conducted over 200 vigils since 2002. Included in this interview is a discussion of how we started our vigils. Chuck Carlson, founder of WHTT decided to hold our first vigil five months before the second war on Iraq and Saddam Hussein as a response to a letter sent to President George Bush in October 2002 by Richard Land, President of the Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention. The letter was signed by several prominent evangelical Christians and told President Bush that going to war against Iraq would be a "just" war by their interpretation of the Bible. Then, in 2017 when the SBC came to Phoenix for their annual meeting, we confronted Richard Land's successor, Dr. Russel Moore in an interesting exchange. For related podcasts, Click Here

Sometimes it feels hopeless to challenge what our government does in the name of "helping" us. Members of the Plant-Powered People of AZ (PPPofAZ) advocate plant-based, whole food diets that avoid unhealthy foods. For example, Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO) are not safe despite the approval given by the FDA. Seven of us from the PPPofAZ went to hear Derrick Broze of The Conscious Resistance speak during his Activation Tour stop in Showlow, AZ. Derrick spoke on a wide range of topics in his thought-provoking presentation including the Freedom Cell Network, which he helped to create. Freedom Cells are peer-to-peer groups organizing themselves in a decentralized manner with the collective goal of asserting the sovereignty of group members through peaceful resistance and the creation of alternative institutions. The PPPofAZ is a member of the Freedom Cell Network. If you're an independent thinker and an activist, you'll want to listen to Derrick's powerful presentation even if you don't like what the PPPofAZ eat. Remember, Freedom Isn't Free!

Major General Smedley D. Butler was a military hero of the first rank, the winner of two Medals of Honour, a true "fighting Marine" whose courage and patriotism could not be doubted. Yet he came to believe that the wars in which he and his men had fought and bled and died were all pre-planned conflicts, designed not so much to defend America as to bloat the balance sheets of US banks and corporations. General Smedley Butler’s frank book, "War Is A Racket," shows how American war efforts were animated by big-business interests. General Butler's argument against war are still relevant now more than ever. This is a 60 minute reading of his important revelation.

Earl Staelin, chairman of the Rocky Mountain Public Banking Institute, explains vital details about public Banking and how it would challenge and correct the present oligarch like system dominated by a powerful, privately owned but government pretending Federal Reserve System. Staelin, a Colorado attorney, provides a detailed report on the largely unknown but successful 100-year-old, public bank of North Dakota, and a new one in California. He also details public banks in several other countries. For background reports and podcasts on public banking by We Hold These Truths click HERE.

A law authorizing local governments to charter public banks was signed by Governor Gavin Newsom and amounts to an enormous condemnation of the monopolistic Federal Reserve Bank. The international bankers, who have used public money to finance every war since 1913, will bring all their power to bear to stop the California Public Banking Act. They have already started the attack, as we will explain subsequently. The Public Banks will not dare to spend depositor money to fund wars, and the Federal Reserve Bank knows it. The counterattack has already begun. The international Banker controlled press's limited reporting of this milestone event is the first sign of their massive counterattack. We Hold These Truths hopes to help expose it, and to encourage public banking nation wide. Listen to Charles Carlson put Public Banking into perspective with other issues in this 17-minute podcast.

With all the support from American evangelical Christians for America's serial wars, a stranger unaware of the teachings of Jesus might conclude that Christianity is primarily a religion of war and not of peace. Craig Hanson of We Hold These Truths, using a biblical approach, weighs the evidence on whether Christianity is a religion of peace or of war in this thought-provoking, 29-minute podcast. Craig looks more in-depth into a significant sermon series about how Christians, as followers of Jesus, should relate to the civil power over them. As a result of Dr. Boyd's sermon series, "The Cross & The Sword" (for an overview see the CNN segment from 2007: "God's Warriors: Dr. Greg Boyd"), 1000 of Boyd's 5000 congregants at Woodland Hills Church left. It appears that millions of evangelical Christians have welded the cross to the sword. The war nature of evangelical Christians is evidenced in the Land letter (see: "Christian Zionist Leaders: Hardly Peacemakers" and our podcast "The Three Ugly Faces of World Conflict").

Popular Republic Broadcasting Network host, Steve Elkins of the "Off the Beaten Path" show joins Chuck Carlson and members of We Hold These Truths to discuss where the current occupant of the White House is leading Americans and where do his allegiances really lie. Eighty-one percent of white, evangelical Christians voted for Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential election and their support for him and his policies does not seem to be waning. Don't miss Steve's thoughtful analysis of the danger signs that point to a less than bright future for Americans. 41 minutes.
