It's been over 20 years since Chuck Carlson of We Hold These Truths went alone into the Gaza strip. In this video presentation made in February of 2003, Chuck eloquently describes his findings at an AFP Forum in Mesa, Arizona. Conditions have gotten much worse since his visit. The newly reelected Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, has pledged to make conditions for Palestinians much worse by expanding the illegal settlements. His recent Tweet tells it all.

Inside the Gaza Gulag

In 1999 We Hold These Truths republished the book Holocaust II: Saving Israel From Suicide under the title One Nation Under Israel. Dr. Vladimir Zelenko was an Orthodox Jewish MD from Monroe, NY who had successfully treated over 6,000 patients infected with Covid-19, using early treatment protocols that he developed. In this remarkable 24 min. presentation made to a Rabbinical court in Jerusalem, Dr. Zelenko tried to warn the leaders of Israel about the dangers and repercussions of the experimental, Covid-19 "vaccines". His presentation fell on deaf ears due to blinding by the WHO (World Health Organization). Sadly, Dr. Zelenko passed away from cancer on June 30, 2022 (see: Here).

Saving Israel or Holocaust II?

Recently, the US Supreme Court overturned the Roe v. Wade case of 1973 that allowed abortions. Now, the decision on this issue will go back to the states. Before Chuck Carlson founded We Hold These Truths in 1996, he and his wife were active in the pro-life movement. When We Hold These Truths started challenging "Christian Zionist" or War-Willing" churches in 2002, one of the earliest signs that we carried at those vigils was "Chose Life, Not War!" While evangelical church members typically oppose abortion, large numbers of them enthusiastically support the serial wars of the US for patriotic reasons. In this 2004 message, "Abortion: A Kingdom of God Approach" by Pastor Greg Boyd of Woodland Hills Church in St. Paul, MN the issue of abortion is addressed that can be seen in a new light in 2022. This was the third of five messages in a series entitled "The Cross and The Sword". It was about how many Christians have welded the cross to the sword. As citizens of the United States of America, the state wheels the sword while Christians are supposed to be under the authority of Jesus Christ. As a result of this series of messages, about 20% of the 5000 congregants in Boyd's church left because they couldn't handle the message. CNN did an excellent report on this in a 7-minute segment titled "God's Warriors"
An audio version of "Abortion: A Kingdom of God Approach" is available HERE.
 
 
 
 

Choose Life Not War: The Abortion Issue

Over the past few years, Israel's ongoing military occupation of Palestinian territory and repeated invasions of the Gaza strip have triggered a fierce backlash against Israeli policies virtually everywhere in the world -- except the United States. The Occupation of the American Mind takes an eye-opening look at this critical exception, zeroing in on pro-Israel public relations efforts within the U.S. Narrated by Roger Waters and featuring leading observers of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and U.S. media culture, the film explores how the Israeli government, the U.S. government, and the pro-Israel lobby have joined forces, often with very different motives, to shape American media coverage of the conflict in Israel's favor. From the U.S.-based public relations campaigns that emerged in the 1980s to today, the film provides a sweeping analysis of Israel's decades-long battle for the hearts, minds, and tax dollars of the American people in the face of widening international condemnation of its increasingly right-wing policies. Narrated by Roger Waters / Featuring Amira Hass, M.J. Rosenberg, Stephen M. Walt, Noam Chomsky, Rula Jebreal, Henry Siegman, Rashid Khalidi, Rami Khouri, Yousef Munayyer, Norman Finkelstein, Max Blumenthal, Phyllis Bennis, Norman Solomon, Mark Crispin Miller, Peter Hart, and Sut Jhally.

The Occupation of the American Mind: Israel’s PR War

We Hold These Truths joined with the Arizona State University chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) to observe the 74th anniversary of the Palestinian Nakba (Arabic for “catastrophe”) that occurred in 1948 when over 750,000 Palestinians were forced from their homes and over 450 of their villages were destroyed by the Zionists in their drive to establish the modern state of Israel. The Nakba continues today under the Israeli occupation designed effectively to expel or kill as many Palestinians as “legally” possible. The latest example of this was the killing of Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh, a Palestinian Christian, by an Israeli sniper. Tom Compton of WHTT reports on the Nakba 74 rally and how millions of evangelical Christians are oblivious to the plight of the "Living Stones" in  Israel.

The Nakba: Israel Has Been Getting Away With Mayhem & Murder for 74 Years

We Hold These Truths was founded by Chuck Carlson in 1996. In this podcast, Tom Compton, one of the founding directors, speaks with Dr. Kevin Barrett, who is a practicing Muslim, on his program, Truth Jihad Radio. Tom discusses WHTT's mission and its history of activism to challenge the idol worship of the modern state of Israel by tens of millions of Christian Zionists.

A History of We Hold These Truths from 1996

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! [Note: this podcast was posted to our freedom-loving friends at We Hold These Truths' Podbean site.]

Challenging the Official US Consensus Narrative

Our friend and brother in Christ, Palestinian Pastor Jamal Bishara, of the First Arabic Baptist Church of Phoenix, went home to be with his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ on April 24, 2021. This sermon was the last one he preached as a guest at Apollo Baptist Church in Glendale, Arizona on March 7, 2021. At his memorial, this extended sermon was described this way by one new member of the church to the senior pastor: "When you preach, you preach a chapter. When Pastor Jamal preached, he preached the whole Bible." This is truly an inspiring sermon. For more posts featuring Pastor Jamal, click HERE.

Attachment & Trauma Affect Our Relationships

In this video, our founder, Charles E. Carlson speaks about his solo walk-in visit to the Palestinian territory of the Gaza Strip in March 2002. There he witnessed and filmed an Israeli bombing raid from the roof of a building owned by the Southern Baptist Convention. Chuck gave this account to members of the Institute for Historical Review two years later. The video account of this bombing raid can be seen in our documentary, “The Roots of Christian Zionism: How Scofield Sowed Seeds of Apostasy”. In the second segment of this 50-minute talk, he explains Zionist Christian's distortion of the bible and why its followers support Israel despite its documented brutality toward the Palestinians. His talk marked the beginning of We Hold These Truths' nineteen-year study of and challenge to the biblical corruption that has fostered Israel's unbroken history of killings. The publication referred by Chuck in his presentation is "The Source of Our War Problem: Why Judeo-Christians Do Not Demand Peace".

American Christians, Israel and Zionism

Chuck Carlson and members of We Hold These Truths discuss the existence of Christian Zionism in mainline Christian churches.

Uncovering Mainline Christian Zionism

At We Hold These Truths it has been our mission to expose the Evangelical Church to the dangers and Biblical errors of Christian Zionism. An interesting phenomenon has occurred as we’ve seen the churches that we’ve tried to reach actually become more entrenched in their zionist doctrine, to the point where many Christians now wear the moniker of “Christian Zionist” as a badge of honor and stamp of approval by God. Craig Hanson discusses his article, "Exposing the "Ugly" of Christian Zionism", with Chuck Carlson and Tom Compton in this 33-minute video interview.

Exposing the “Ugly” of  Christian Zionism

We Hold These Truths has been working for peace in the Holy Land since 2002. This documentary was made to challenge Christians who believe that the modern state of Israel is a fulfillment of biblical prophecy even to the exclusion of Palestinian Christians living there. Our 29-minute documentary was recognized as a contribution to peace by being given a special award at the 4th Ammar Popular Film Festival in Tehran, Iran,  in January 2014.  This film exposes what should be three, obvious truths:  1. The US has a war based economy that is dependent upon the support for its many wars by Christians under the influence of Christian Zionism.  2. Christian Zionism is a corruption of traditional Christianity that has been promoted for just over 100 years, through the Scofield Reference Bible. 3. The Palestinians have been under a brutal military occupation by Israel since 1967.  An example of this brutality was an Israeli attack on Gaza that killed four and wounded 40 in 2002, which was witnessed, videoed, and reported by Charles E. Carlson, the Writer/Director of this documentary.  This attack was four years before Hamas came to power and the 3 devastating wars on Gaza in 2008/2009, 2012, and 2014  The last major assault on Gaza in 2014, “Operation Protective Edge” resulted in over 2,000 Palestinians killed of whom were 500 children. This planned operation has turned into a genocidal assault on Gaza with the Israelis bombing hospitals and schools, and civilian casualties hovering around 75% of the total while destroying the infrastructure of the world’s largest, open-air prison (Bob Simon of CBS News described Gaza this way in 2009 in an interview with Charlie Rose). Today, Gaza is on the brink of being uninhabitable.

Christian Zionism" The Tragedy & The Turning, Part I

If Israel is the only true US ally in the Middle East why would Israeli forces deliberately attack the USS Liberty surveillance ship sitting in international waters during the 1967 "Six-Day War"? And, why would President Lyndon Johnson order the cover-up of the attack that killed 34 and wounded 172 of the 294 man complement? Craig Hanson of We Hold These Truths delves into the little known history that has been so successfully hidden for over 50 years.

When Israel Attacked US Liberty

The Israel lobby doesn't want a connection to be made between the plight of Palestinians living under a brutal Israeli military occupation and the recent racial protests in the US. The majority of Americans and the vast majority of Christian Zionists are oblivious to the plight of the Palestinians. Craig Hanson, Chuck Carlson, and Tom Compton believe that Palestinian lives matter and discuss the recent developments described in an article by Ali Abunimah of the Electronic Intifada, "Israel lobby sees Black Lives Matter as a major strategic threat."

Palestinian Lives Matter!

Christians usually refer to two distinct covenants, the Old and the New, the times before and after the coming of Jesus. Find out about the concept of a Dual Covenant and its connection to the theology of "Christian Zionism" in this video with Chuck Carlson, Craig Hanson and Tom Compton of We Hold These Truths. Referenced in the program are: "What is Dual-Covenant Theology?" and "A Theological Response to Christian Zionism By Dr. Rob Dalrymple".
 

Christianity: One Covenant or Two?

Chuck Carlson and members of We Hold These Truths will look behind the Federal Reserve's curtain hidden behind the mainstream media spin masters. Reuters published a new list of the financial manipulations planned by the Federal Reserve System (FED) to support the economy in the article "What the Federal Reserve has done in the coronavirus crisis". Reuters tells part of the truth about the Federal Reserve Bank, but not a word of who runs it, nor how this money creation affects our lives by diluting the value of dollars we hold, spend, save and depend upon. (See Chuck's analysis in "Press’ Half Truth Policy about Covid-19 and Our Money")

Partial Media Exposure of FED Printing Press

In the middle of a pandemic, a financial collapse is lurking around the corner. Will the solution to avoid a depression in the US and around the world be another war against a more credible enemy like China or Russia? Chuck Carlson, a former stockbroker and founder of We Hold These Truths, focuses on the bizarre tactics of the Federal Reserve to pump the economy into prosperity. What's going on?

Trigger for WWW-III

Chuck Carlson, Craig Hanson and Tom Compton of We Hold These Truths discuss the medical, political and financial events surrounding the Covid-19 pandemic event presently gripping the world. Chuck Carlson, a former stockbroker will focus on the financial implications and ramifications of the current crisis as described in his article "The Money War to Come After the Covid-19 Crisis Ends."

The Money War and the Covid-19 Virus Crisis - Video -

We Hold These Truths' California Outreach Director, Craig Hanson discusses with Chuck Carlson the implications for peace and justice or lack thereof revealed at the March 2-3, 2020 annual meeting of AIPAC, the American Israeli Public Affairs Committee, in Washington, DC. At the convention, luminaries like Vice President Mike Pence and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo champion the concept that Anti-Zionism is a form of anti-Semitism. In other words, criticism of unjust Israeli policies and actions toward Palestinians constitutes anti-semitism and "Enemies of the State."
