This is a book about a theological belief that has been around for centuries, It has manifested itself in several forms over the years--sometimes in a cultic fashion, and sometimes in what has been termed "a guarded orthodoxy at least in the areas of the Nature of God, personal redemption, and the Person and work of Jesus Christ." 1

Other adherents of the Christian Identity movement may be more easily dismissed as fake prophets; for accompanying their pronouncements and conclusions on the racial heritage of white Caucasians are prophecies that have obviously been proven to be false.

A Salt Lake City writer dubbed The Parowan Prophet is a good example of this. (ouched behind his British-Israelite doctrine is also a series of prophecies that America would he attacked with nuclear weapons during the Christmas season of ~()()5, 2. This particular individual also cites Mormon leader Brigham Young and the non-canonical book of Esdras, so most Identity adherents would probably disavow him as one of their own; however, as a somewhat visible figure espousing the Christian Identity (CI) message, he continues to prophecy and embarrass Christian Identity proponents.

A few definitions would seem to be in order. The doctrinal system examined iii this book is called by a variety of names. Because the central tenet is the belief that thc British people (and subsequently the American Colonies) are actually the "lost tribes" of Israel, the system has historically been called British-Israel ism. Sometimes called Anglo-Israel ism, the terms Christian Identity, Kingdom Identity, Israel Identity, and simply Identity tend to be more descriptive of the modern manifestation of this theology.

Present day adherents usually use the term Christian Identity, so for our purposes we will return to that phrase or the initials CI.

In the course of this writer's exposure to this unique phenomenon, I determined that the Christian Identity movement may be broadly broken down into 8 basic identifying characteristics. Accordingly, I have structured this work with a chapter for each characteristic. Each of these eight commonalties are commonly found in the ideological behavior patterns of groups espousing the Christian Identity stream of thought.

1. EMOTIONAL VOLATILITY. Christian Identity proponents consistently act as though they are offended whenever a critic links the group (or the individual's) thinking with more obviously unsavory groups--i.e. Nazi's, Klan, etc.

This is something of a paradox, for one of the primary tenets of Identity is a vehement criticism of the Jews for doing the same thing. CI states (and accurately so) that Jews are hyper-sensitive to the degree that it is politically in-expedient to even question their history--particularly Talmudic Judaistic practices.

Somewhat hypocritically, CI proponents are commonly outraged when critics note how their own theology closely links them with racially oriented

radical movements such as National Socialism (the Nazis). The idea of white supremacy, evil Jews behind the world's problems, God is with them on a racial basis, etc, are consistent with the Nazi movement and CI; yet British-Israelites deny such a connection and frequently become indignant when such an obvious comparison is made.

2. CONDESCENSION TOWARDS OPPONENTS. Christian Identity proponents and organizations consistently assume that anyone that disagrees with their view has never researched the issues. Every criticism seems to be laced with the perspective that if anyone will simply do the research, they will come to the "obvious" conclusion that CI is an accurate perspective of world history. CI activists are frequently smug and arrogant as they attack their theological opponents.

The second aspect of this is the fact that Christian Identity advocates views are commonly inconsistent with themselves. This makes the arrogance all the more insufferable, for critics may address the obvious falsity of one perspective even as other CI adherents are propagating a variation on that particular aspect of their belief. In short, this lack of a centralized source for doctrine makes it easy for CI teachers to simply deny that any particular criticism applies to their ministry.

3. SCRIPTURAL INERRANCY. Christian Identity adherents are almost always willing to attack the inerrancy of the scriptures when various sections of the Word of God fail to support their theology. In other words, they try to make the Bible conform to their interpretation of it.

Alleged mistranslations of key words, bias on the part of the King James Version translation team, Jewish influence in the publication of the scriptures, and other imaginative attacks are the order of the day. This is a characteristic that is extremely common in virtually all 'Christian' oriented cults.

4. THE JEW AS WORLD SCAPEGOAT. Christian Identity writers and followers almost ALWAYS focus the blame for the world's ills on the Jews. In their view, virtually all evil in the world is related to the Jews.

In some eases, certain CI writers even deny a personal Devil (Satan), instead supplanting his role as Adversary with the collective group known as The Jews. They are demonized and dc-humanized--a chilling aspect of the system as this demonization is usually a requisite precedent for any "final solution."

5. ADMIXTURE OF TRUTH & FICTION. The Christian Identity view almost always has some basis in truth. Rarely is a full blown falsehood allowed to stand by itself. Instead, the larger lies are wrapped in strands of biblical truth--usually with scripture to support it. The entire movement is a potpourri of legalism, discredited archaeological views, and racial theories.

This is interesting, for the various groups have so many differences among themselves; yet CI people ignore their own groups differences as long as the central tenets of the theology come through--i.e. white Anglo identification with Israel and the "problem of the Jews" (a familiar phrase to students of the German experiment in the 1940's).

6. PATRIOTICALLY APPEALING. The concept that one's family heritage qualifies them for a future greatness is an intoxicatingly attractive view. Disenfranchised white America, particularly men that have experienced the enormous inequities in the form of multi-cultural and racial formulas imposed on them by an ungodly government, find this theology very compelling.

The basic concept of birthright is not foreign to scripture (i.e. a chosen people, joint-heirs with Christ, etc); but the view that we as Americans are genetically inclined to be saved because we are allegedly physically descended from a lost chosen race is extremely powerful. Nationalists, patriots, anti-New World Order individualists, and white youth (i.e. punks, skinheads, and others alarmed at the rapidly growing power of non-white minorities) are particularly susceptible to the emerging theology of Christian Identity.

7. THE JEWS ARE NOT MEMBERS OF ISRAEL. Christian Identity ALWAYS states that the Jews are not Semitic or Judacan at all. They usually identify Jewish men and women as either of the 'serpent seed' (descended from an unscriptural union of Eve and the serpent), or as Edomites that were not descended from Shem (i.e. "shemitic" or Semitic), but from Japheth (another son of Noah). This is in spite of the fact that Japhetic peoples have been routinely traced to the white European races.

In line with seeking to show the Jews as usurpers of the promised line of descendants from Abraham, CI writers have produced numerous historical variations that inevitably separate the Jewish or Judacan line from the larger body of Israel--the other 11 tribes, and particularly the so-called "Ten Lost Tribes Of Israel."

8. WHITE AMERICA IS ISRAEL. Invariably, the Christian Identity view arrives at white Americans being the actual physical descendants of the tribes of Israel. These are usually linked to the Caucasian tribal groups traced to the southern steppes of the former Soviet Union.

The genealogy is commonly traced through the two sons of Joseph-Ephraim and Manassah--with the latter representing America while the former is Great Britain. The alleged migration pattern of these lost tribes is widely seen in the proliferation of migratory maps, spurious genealogical histories, and other graphical renditions that are subject to a considerable amount of conjecture and opinion.



GENERAL OBSERVATIONS AND RELEVANT SCRIPTURES

The idea that the British name is taken from two Hebrew words originates with one of the most significant writers in the field: Herbert W Armstrong. Indeed, for many years, Armstrong so personified the doctrine that it was sometimes known as Armstrongism.

Herbert W, in his seminal work The United States and Great Britain In Prophecy, put forth the idea that the Hebrew term BERITH, meaning Covenant, is the source of the anglicized term BRIT. Further, he wrote that one of the Hebrew words for man, ISH, was combined to form the word BRITISH. In Herbert's bizarre etymological gymnastics, the H in Berith would be dropped (which does occur in Hebrew transliteration--witness Shem & Semitic) even as the E disappears in a proto Anglic pronunciation. The problems here are manifold. First, why not the term BRITAIN (as in land ol) rather than the so-called "Covenant Man?" Second, while there is a widespread cross linguistic occurrence between the various Indo-European and other Aryan dialects, there are virtually no linguistic cross-pollinations from that era between the 'Kings Own English' and Hebrew. Hebrew or iginated terms that have worked their way into the language are, by and large, Yiddish from a much later era. It's a big jump from Berith (pronounced BER-ITH) to BRIT that is unsupported by any evidence other than Mr. Armstrong's assertions.

Armstrong goes through some similar linguistic machinations with the term SAXONS. Here we are told that because the promise of a special blessing from God was to go through Abraham's son Isaac (as opposed to the Arab's ancestor Ishmael), the Israelites that settled in the British Isles soon became known as Isaac's Sons, or the Saxons. Like the term Berith-Ish, this truncated version of Isaacs-Sons sounds plausible, but there is no evidence in any historical account to support this theory. Once again, there is no literary evidence, no likely linguistic commonality, and absolutely not a shred of scripture to support this fallacious guesswork.

Another alleged connection between the tribes of Israel and the British throne is attempted through the Stone Of Scone, also known as the Stone of Destiny, a relic that figures prominently in the system. CI adherents, particularly the spiritual descendants of Mr. Armstrong in the form of the sect known as The Philadelphia Church, 3. propose that the Stone Of Scone is actually Jacob's Pillow spoken of in the book of Genesis.

This icon, which was supposedly brought to Scotland by the prophet Jeremiah himself, was eventually lodged in Westminster Abbey and is used to connect the throne of England with the throne of David. The Stone of Scone was just recently returned to Scotland by the British government.

Back in 1953, Mr. Armstrong asserted that Queen Elizabeth II of Britain was connected to the throne of David, and he used the Stone Of Scone as a form of documentation to pronounce her The Queen Of Israel. This theoretical connection is dubious as best, and completely contrived at worst.

Regarding the actual Stone of Scone, one authority cited by Dr. Walter Martin in his monumental Kingdom of the Cults stated that the stone was analyzed and it was determined that it is a "...a sandstone of a reddish or purplish color, with heterogeneous pebbles and of Scottish origin." 4.

In short, the rock is indigenous to Scotland, which militates against it being of Middle Eastern origin as vehemently asserted by the British-Israelites. Before he passed on, Mr. Armstrong was unable to explain how Jacob's pillow stone, indigenous to Scotland, could have been found in Canaan by Jacob so it could be conveniently returned to the British Isles by Jeremiah--a theoretical journey that has absolutely no historical attestation whatsoever.

A key component of the Identity system is related to the blessing that Jacob, later named Israel, bestowed on the two sons of Joseph after the Israelites came to Egypt. The Old Testament records how these two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, became prominent among the Northern tribes when Israel was divided as a nation between North and South.

The Identity theology routinely associates Ephraim as Great Britahi and Manassah as The United States. In 1967 Herbert W Armstrong wrote that "...our white, English-speaking peoples today--Britain and America--are actually and truly the birthright tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh of the 'lost' house of Israel..." 5.

In spite of the fact that there are many scriptural difficulties with this identifi cation, the Identity movement continues to assert these two tribes of Israel are now found in the modern states of England and the USA.

In Genesis 48, we see that Ephraim is actually the younger brother of Manasseh. This is incongruent with the CI association for the identity folks see Ephr aim as the UK--which as every student of American history knows was here long before the establishment of the American Colonies. in other words, the elder brother is proposed as the younger country, while the younger brother is identified with the elder country! Indeed, a CIoser simile would be that of the mother country and her son instead of brothers where the lineage is reversed.

Furthermore, at the time of Israel's death, he blessed Ephraim in a superior fashion to Manasseh. When Joseph protested,

"...he held up his father's hand, to remove it from Ephraim's head unto Manasseh's head. And Joseph said unto his father, Not so, myfather: for tids is the firstborn; put thy right hand upon his head. And his father refused, and said, I know it, my son, I know ik he also shall become a people, and he also shall be great: but truly his younger brother shall be greater than lie. .." 6.



This poses a great difficulty for the British-Israelite interpretation for America has clearly superceded virtually every achievement of England. The USA is now the world's only military Superpower and the chief architect of The New World Order. While it may be said that the English financial cabal is actually the ruling order behind the scenes, even the Identity adherents themselves assign that role to "the international Jewish bankers." 7,

One of the earliest flaws in the system was the obvious fact that the white Caucasian tribes that ultimately became the Anglo-Saxons were also involved in the foundational stages of other European nations. Presumably in response to this theoretical weakness, many modern advocates of the system now say the 'Lost Tribes' are actually ALL the white peoples--or in the words of one writer, "...the Anglo-Saxon, Scandinavian, Germanic, and kindred peoples of Europe descended from scattered Israel." 8.

It is very important that we see that the Christian Identity theorem is actually a subset of the overall scriptural theology known as Replacement Theology. For the benefit of those whose education has been limited to dispensational thought, i.e. "Rapture" teaching, Replacement Theology, sometimes called Reformed Theology, is simply the view that the Christian church has 'replaced' Israel in all of the various covenants and promises originally made to the Israelites.

Originally articulated by the Roman Catholic theologian Augustine, Replacement Theology proponents disavow any connection to British-Israelism for they see their identification as Israel in a strictly spiritaal sense.

This writer believes it is significant that one of the earliest political manifestations of the concept of a white chosen race was fostered in a political environment that was dominated by Replacement Theology--i.e. The Weimar Republic of Germany in the 1920's and 30's.

In this instance, the Protestant church was largely Lutheran, and just as accommodating as the Catholic church that made their peace with the leader of the white supremacist government that ultimately plunged the planet into World War II.

Replacement Theology leaders become positively livid when it is pointed out that the idea that God is completely finished with the Jews is concomitant with white supremacist thinking; but the fact is, citizen members of the church in Germany were predisposed to believe the Nazi message for they had already been conditioned by their Christian leadership to assign the Jew to a role of political suppression, theological inferiority, and finally---eradication.

So it is with the Christian Identity system, as we shall soon see.

He that is show to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit thian he thiat taketh a city. -- Proverbs 16.32

Christian Identity adherents tend to have a considerable degree of anger tbat can readily be unleashed when someone or something criticizes or con-tradicts their position. I have personally experienced this as one passing comment I made on the air generated numerous hostile letters--even though I did not intentionally utter anything that I thought inflammatory. Others have confirmed my impression in this regard.

It may be significant to see that this particular failing is the identical phenomenon that is observed by Identity believers concerning traits among the Jewish community. Indeed, many CI writers have noted the true fact that Jewish religious beliefs are generally obscured by the Talmud-led Jewish leaders as they don't welcome scrutiny of any kind. The same may be said, at least to a modest degree, of Christian Identity.

Lt. Col. Gordon Mohr, writing in an identity tract entitled Exploding The Chosen People Afyth, has pointed out that "there is not one single existing faith that you cannot study, with the exception of Judaism." 1. Mr. Mohr further states that any scrutiny or criticism of the Jews will create a "tumult." He says that "...as a Christian, (you) must always praise them and never say anything which is critical about what they say, write, or do, because if you do, God will curse you." 2.

Pastor Dan Gayman, the writer of For israel-The People Of The Book, writes that he believes "...the Jews managed to steal your heritage" even as they have "...counterfeited major Bible truths, and on this ground they have usurped the place and honor of true Biblical Israel." 3. Pastor Gayman also believes that the Jews hide their true beliefs in order to be shielded from scrutiny and criticism. He says they "..only use these Bible truths as window dressing for the religion of Judaism. Beneath the superficial trappings of true and valid teaching lies a cesspool of theological dogma..." 4.

Another Identity writer, Hillaire Belloc, concurs and says that "It was the instinctive policy with the mass of the Jewish nat ion...not only to use ridicule against anti-Semitism but to label as 'anti-Semitic' any discussion of the Jewish problem at all, or, for that matter, any information on the Jewish problem." 5.

Belloc continues with his criticism of how the Jews respond with hostility towards any suggest ion of impropriety in their dealings. "If a man alluded to the presence of a Jewish financial power in any region, for instance...he was an anti-Semite." 6.

The fact is, these charges of Jewish complicity in a long standing effort to obscure the facts of the Talmudic origin of their religion are accurate. lndeed, the various books that are actually followed as scripture, The Talmud and The Kabbalah, actually instruct the Jewish spiritual leaders to intentionally deceive Gentiles and/or Christians concerning their true beliefs. Contrary to popular belief, the Old Testament and The Torah (The books of the Law) arc not pre-eminent among Jews. The series of books known as the Babylonian Talmud are actually the written arbiter concerning the collective behavior of the Jewish people.

In many ways, although to a lesser extent, a similar charge may be leveled at the Identity followers. Some of this could pragmatically be considered necessary as many individuals do not understand the underlying rationale of the Identity mindset. Because one of the primary components of the system is a negative and extremely unflattering identification of the Jews, the occasional obfuscation most likely occurs because the proponents hope to attract others to their view and don't want to 'scare them off prematurely' with an intense polemic that would likely be perceived as anti-Semitic.

To support these statements, I've reprinted brief excerpts from several books, pamphlets, and letters. Most of these comments seem to show an expectation of rejection, such as the following salutory statement:

"I know full well you will reject what I have shown you " 11. This writer then goes on to detail Talmudic teachings. In a recruitment letter for the Christian Adamite Party, C.A. SeCIdnger starts out with "...what I am writing will not please all of you 12. That's an understatement, but clearly he has experienced a negative response on a regular basis.

Another writer assertively states that the Jewish propaganda "...has installed a guilt complex in the American people, until the word Jew has become a non speakable word, and if one dares to utter the word except in reverence and humility they will be attacked by both Jews and Christians." 13. This author clearly feels that the Jews will respond with venom and anger if anyone seeks to expose the belief systems of Judaism that are secreted away in The Talmud.

Lt. Col. Gordon Mohr's vitriolic tract Exploding The Chosen People Myth says that "There is not one single existing faith that you cannot study, with the exception of Judaism" 14. without incurring an intense and defensive backlash. This is simply not true, for a penetrating and critical probe of the Christian Identity system is virtually guaranteed to bring a vehement and emotionally charged reaction--as I can personally attest to.

In my national radio broadcast on 10/28/96, during a study on an unrelated subject, in passing I casually stated "...I'm not a Nazi, I'm not a Christian Identity guy, I'm not an Anglo-Israelite, I'm none of the above..." 15. This statement was not intended to lump the 3 together, but it turned out to be an unintentional slight that brought me some unprecedented and unexpected hate mail.

One outraged listener, an Identity believer wrote '...you should be on your face in abject penitence!" Another letter said these were "...slanderous words" and that it is certain that I "..wiIl come out with the ADL (Anti-Defamation League) friendly, name calling and baseless allegations, but no scriptural evidence!" Yet another writer asked if I was even "a Christian!" Still another railed that "It is plain to all that heard your show tonight that you are either a Jewish sympathizer or...you do not know what you are talking about..." 16. Please bear in mind that at this point, I hadn't said anything at all about the Identity theology, except to say that I was not any "of the above!"

In all fairness it should be stated that the subject matter itself is so explosive that it is, therefore, somewhat difficult to communicate the information in this view without it sounding like some wild and racist diatribe. In other words, be-cause the information endemic to the Identity system is inflammatory does not necessarily mean that it isn't true. Indeed, this is a very difficult subject to examine without the emotional reactions that invariably occur when information is so controversial. This difficulty is further exacerbated by the fact that as an opponent of the Identity view, I also have emotions. I will therefore, at-tempt to bridle my emotionally intense revulsion for the various tenets of this system that I believe to be, shall we say, unscriptural.

The fact is, to say that these folks are volatile is an understatement. Therefore, when Identity writers say that Judaism is the only religious movement you can't examine without political repercussions, the facts would seem to state otherwise.

"A double minded man is unstable in all his ways. Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter?"---James 1:8, 3:12



CI proponents & organizations consistently assume anyone that disagrees with their view has never researched the issues. That assumption is arrogant and presumptuous as it presupposes the truth of their own view and subsequently epitomizes the cliche that 'anyone with half a brain will come to the same conclusion."

To document the previous statement, I'd like to cite several statements to that effect that I've located in various Christian Identity proponent's writings. The unnamed author of a very interesting Christian Identity book entitled Exposing The Chosen People Lie relates how he has learned that when people truly have researched the Identity issue, "...then they found the more they studied and learned they found that they have been lied to... I,



Another CI (Christian Identity) author casts aspersions on anyone that has studied the issues that has come to a different conclusion. He writes that "It should become obvious to any HONEST student..." that his view is the correct One 2.

A pastor in Oklahoma that has corresponded with me on these issues has pointedly assumed that because I am not an Identity adherent, I most certainly could not have actually researched the issue. "I would suggest that he that does NO RESEARCH has NOTHING to teach." Later in the same correspondence, he again assumes that his conclusion is inescapable, and adjures me to "...please do more research." 3.

One CI aficionado was apparently so angry, he couldn't muster an argument and instead resorted to calling me names. Being in a prophetic ministry I've been called a false prophet. I've been called ignorant. And I've been called divisive, a jerk, etc. But it took an anonymous Identity believer to repeatedly refer to me as "A Horsefly!" 4.

The truth is, if a statement disagrees with the central thesis of the Identity mindset, the adherents frequently condescendingly assume that you must simply be ignorant of the facts. After publicly saying that I do not believe the Identity theological scenario, another CI advocate rebuked me for making "...a completely uneducated statement like that.... 5.

In short, if you disagree with Christian Identity, its champions assume you must be uneducated and ignorant.

Another aspect of Characteristic number two is related to the fact that the rebukes from the Christian Identity camp frequently come when you attempt to articulate something that other CI advocates have asserted themselves. To phrase it another way, there is a tremendous degree of inconsistency in this system and one leader will commonly teach something in direct opposition to another leader.

One of the central teachings in Christian Identity is that the Jews are not actually descended from Judah, one of the 12 tribes of the Children of Israel, but are actually usurpers from other peoples unrelated to the 12 tribes of

Israel. The most common CI view asserts that the people called "Jews" are actually from an Eastern European racial group known as the Khazars.

We'll deal with that issue in more detail in Chapter 7, but for now I wish to note that at least one other CI teacher says the Jews are not the Jews" not be-cause of the connection to the Khazars, but because of a genealogical connection to a biblical character named Shelah.

The author of Exposing The Chosen People Lie connects the people called Jews to "...Shelah...a bastard son of Judah...". Through a complicated series of deductions based in many cases on what the scriptures DON'T say genealogically, the author connects the non-Israelitish Edomites to "the Jews from Elath" that are spoken of in II Kings 16 and subsequently concludes that this tribe became known as Jews. 6.

This flies in the face of the most common view cited by CI advocates. That view is related 10 the people called the Khazars. Some would say the definitive work is the Thirteenth Tribe by Arthur Koestler wherein the author attempts to prove that modern Jews arc actually descended from an ancient European[1~urkie nation that converted to Judaism en masse in the 8th century A.D.

Another common Christian Identity teaching actually states that the Jews are the direct genetic result of an unholy union between Eve and the Serpent in The Garden Of Eden. Even though this view is widespread, at least one Identity writer "...teaches that Satan did not come in the form of a serpent, but instead he had been able to possess one of the black men, and using this beast' he produced Cain." 7.

Yet another Identity view says that shortly before the time of Christ, the Idumacans, descended from Esau, came under the authority of Herod, the king of Judaca and eventually took p re-eminence over the true descendants of Judah. The point is, regardless of which (if any) perspective is historically accurate, the fact is that Christian Identity researchers and teachers don't even agree among themselves; and yet they are always adamant that their view is the right one, and anyone that thinks the Jews ARE the Jews must certainly be in error.

Another significant inconsistency in the Identity movement is the fact that the various adherents haven't even agreed on what to call it. An Oklahoma Identity writer has responded to my charge when I "...call it British Israel; which it is not." 8. Pastor Peter J Peters of The LaPorte Church Of Christ, a prominent Identity group, calls the doctrine Israel Identity. Writer Willie Martini states that "the Jews invented the term British-Israelism." 9. Another gro up in Arkansas say the proper term is Kingdom Identity, while still others say the term is "Anglo-Israelism" and that it originated in England in the Elisabethan era with a man named Richard Brothers in the 18th century. 10. A writer named Richard Hoskins, writing in his newsletter The Hoskins Report, says "The Jews have always known the truth about Saxon-Israel...". 11. One would suspect that if this is true the European Jews persecuted by Hitler would have tried to use that information in order to survive--after all, the CI view includes the Germanic tribes as Israelite. One Identity figure even claims this very tactic was actually used in England in 1650 to try to aid Jewish immigration into the UK. 12.

However, amidst the large body of historical data relative to the various purees and political moves in the Third Reich, there is not one known instance of any "Jew" making the claim that the white Germans were actually their 'Israelite" relations.

One writer says the Jews know the white people of Europe are the Israelites and that they actually encourage them to recognize their heritage because they are confident of their (Jewish) control over the world. Another says the Jews don't know themselves who they are and they truly believe they are Israel. Yet another CI writer says "...the Jews spoken of in Romans 9:24 refer to the house of Judah, Israelites of the Southern Kingdom" 13. while still another CI teacher says the Jews "...are non-Israelites who fallaciously claim to be Israelites. 14.

Even the foundational belief that the white people are the lost tribes is explained differently. Most teach that the Northern 10 tribes wandered in a Northwesterly direction after the Assyrian captivity in the 7th century BC, and settled in the British Isles. Others say they settled in Germany. There is at least one Christian Identity teacher that says the Anglo-Saxon Celts were in Egypt and they built the pyramids! 15.

Some Christian Identity writers say the Jews consistently lie about everything

- -including Saxon history and the so-called "truth" of the white Israel theory. For example, several writers have noted the fact that Talmudic writings indicate that "it is permitted for a Jew to deceive Christians." 16. Another citation from the Zohar book of the Talmud says that "Jews MUST ALWAYS try to deceive Christians. 17.

Yet other Identity figures say the Jews commonly tell the truth! For example, the February 1996 edition of the CI oriented Hoskins Report notes that "through the years the Jews have been relatively honest when discussing early Saxon history." 18. With this degree of contradiction and inconsistency within their own belief system, it is patently absurd for CI proponents to then insist that their interpretation "...is TRUTH that can be proved historically, archaeologically, and Biblically." 19. In the next chapter we will see how the Israel Identity proponents are willing to sacrifice the inerrancy of scripture for their dogmatic view.

"The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Thou shalt keep, 0 Lord, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever." --Psalms 12:6,7



Many Christian Identity pastors and other leaders seem to have a willingness to attack and even discredit certain scriptures because they stand in the way of their theory. This is an absolutely untenable position that they have placed themselves in, for as we shall See, God is able to preserve his word.

The most common assertion that runs contrary to the inerrancy of scripture is found in the creation epic of Adam and Eve. In an extensive interview in the winter 1996 edition of the Christian Media newspaper, Christian' Identity figure Jonathan David Brown categorically stated "I don't believe all the races are descended from Adam." 1.

In a prophecy oriented newsletter called Watch & Pray, an Identity oriented writer says that the various passages relative to the creation in Genesis dealing with "the beasts of the earth" are applicable to negroes and other non-white peoples. She states that the term "beasts" simply means 'living creatures' and that the word represents sub-human creatures that are not descended from the true man, Adam.

This writer, Marlene Gamble, claims that the scriptures are '…replete with evidence that the beast (living creature) is not a member of the Adamic race, rather he is a black man." 2.

This belief is absolutely identical with the Untermenseh concept that was manifested in Nazi Germany in the 1930's and 1940's. The term Untermenseh means 'sub-human' and the teaching that there is a master race goes back through Freidrich Nietzsche in his Man and Superman and winds its way up to a certain tree that hosted the Serpent--in short, this is Satanically inspired racist doctrine at its worst.

The German version of the white master race theory that is historically referred to as Aryanism is virtually indistinguishable from some aspects of Identity theology. Further, the Germans were taught that the Jew was a spiritual usurper that constantly "...managed to steal (their) heritage" 3 from the rightful heirs--the white master race.

While Identity proponents are incensed at any comparison between their system and the Nazi's, at least one Identity church even has the name Aryan Nations. This writer finds it singularly absurd that Identity leaders react in such an angry fashion to the comparison when it is so obvious that at least three basic tenets are present in both systems:



· Both teach a chosen race theology that exclusively benefits white people.



· Both systems are wrapped in a Christian or biblical veneer that justifies political activity because "God is on their side."



· Both systems show a similar repugnance for all things Jewish.



Another area where the scriptures are twisted and attacked to support this view is in the doctrine of the 'Serpent Seed.' As briefly touched on in the last chapter, most proponents of Identity theology actually teach that the serpent in the garden had sex with Eve and the offspring was Cain, who later murdered his brother Abel.

The Genesis account says that "...the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made." 4. After his well known dialogue with Eve, "...the woman saw that the tree was good for food... (and) she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat . 5. By asserting that the translators erred in reading between the lines,' the Aryans have turned this interaction into a sexual encounter between Eve and the serpent.

Well known radio and television Identity figure Dr. Arnold Murray of The Shepherd's Chapel states "When the Devil came to Eve in the Garden of Eden and seduced her, there was more to it than what the Bible states in Genesis 3:1-8. Not only did Eve eat of the forbidden fruit, but she had sexual intercourse with the Devil and became pregnant from this one time encounter." 6.

One writer claims that because mankind has a natural fear of snakes, Eve would never be having "..a discourse with a serpent/snake! With no fear. I do not believe it for a minute. ..that is simply to far-fetched to be believed literally." 7. When faced with a doctrine established by a plain reading of the text, this particular writer did what all apostates do when the Bible fails to support their dogma--they attack the translation and try to re-define key words in the scriptures.

Through a long and convoluted reasoning, Identity proponents have convinced themselves that a 'secret' understanding behind the biblical account actually leads to the serpent being the ancestor of--you guessed it! The Jews!

"In our opinion, that Serpent never was a snake! In my opinion that serpent was a live flesh and blood person." 8. Some Anglo-Israelites have taken this view to the extreme and even disavowed the existence of a literal Devil.

Incredibly, in complete contradistinction to the many scriptural statements to the contrary, they now believe that the source of all evil in the world is ...the serpent race.. the Pharisees." 9. Another Identity writer blatantly states "...the only Satan I believe there is, is the governments created by men. They are our only adversary." 10.

"Then was Jesus led up of the spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil...and when the tempter came to him HE said, if thou be the Son of God…..". Also notice the similarity between this exchange and the Edenic encounter where the Serpent queries Eve "...hath God said?" 12.

There is a distinctive personality present in these accounts--hardly some bizarre collective spirit that is manifested only in the Jews. And where is the government in all this? The text did NOT say '..Jesus was led to be tempted of the GOVERNMENT...'

In lsaiah, the prophet describes the Devil in first person terms by NAME:



"How are thou fallen from heaven 0 Lucifer, son of the morning! How ant thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou has said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt MY throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High." 13.



Another major prophet, Ezekiel, describes him in clearly supernatural terms as the one that "...hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering...thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou was upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. Thou was perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast CREA TED, till iniquity was found in thee." 14.

When it comes to the racist dogma of the Serpent Seed, Christian Identity writers ". . .that are unlearned and unstable wrest...the other scriptures, unto their own destruction" 15. even as they condescendingly claim all who disagree with their unscriptural views to be ignorant.

Because the Bible doesn't readily support his assertion that the black man is actually the 'beast of the field,' writer Nord Davis Jr says "...because of natural errors in the translation through a series of languages, intentional mistranslations, and the normal flavor being lost through idiomatic shifts, rightly dividing the word of God takes considerable study." 16. In other words, he's saying the Bible is in error.

This same author, actually stoops to combining two obscure ancient Bible translations and removing a key word to come up with an 'Identified' version of Acts 17:26. Compare his bastardized verse with the King James Version of the very same verse:



"And has made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth (KJV)

" ...because He made by One, every race of men to dwell upon the whole face of the earth." (Catholic Douay-Rheims Version crossed with the Ferrar Fenton translation) 17.



In removing the word blood, he has conducted what Christian writer John Torell wryly referred to as surgery on the text. Essentially, Nord Davis Jr is willing to twist the word of God here because the Bible clearly says that in Christ, God has made all nations "of one blood" and that statement simply won't due in the Identity perspective. In other words, the motto here seems to be 'My mind is made up--don't try to confuse me with scripture.'

Although the terminology varies from ministry to ministry, many Identity groups refer to the descendants of Cain as the evil race that plagues the Adamite (white) people of the world. These descendants of Cain are called Cainites or sometimes Kenites Dr. Arnold Murray (among others) of The Shepherd's Chapel ministry in Gravette Arkansas subscribes to the racially biased view that the Kenites are the descendents of Cain.

Another major scriptural obstacle to these bizarre theories is the flood of Noah. Even if (and this is a gigantic IF!) the 'Serpent Seed' scenario were true, the flood of Genesis 6 destroyed everyone in the world except for those 8 people in the ark. This means that every person in the world is actually descended through Noah's 3 sons and the Bible provides no hint of any of Identities sub-human classes of humanoids on the ark! In short, after the flood, man was forced to start over with the inhabitants of the ark providing the gene pool.

This in itself destroys the entire Identity system for it depends on multiple classes of creation--i.e. the superior white Adamites and everybody else. Because the Identity system actually requires separate classes of humanoids for the scenario to work (the white Adamites and the various shades of everybody else--i.e. the Untermensch in Nazi parlance), the Identity proponents are forced to, once again, attack the veracity of the scriptures. After all, the Bible states point blank that antediluvian Noah only had three sons and thus everyone must now be descended from those three.

Predictably, Christian Identity writers proclaim that the flood of Noah was not a global event, but was instead a local event. As one CI leader put it, "...the flood was indeed not world wide, and could not have been." 18. This individual goes on to say the flood was not local because his research indicates the dynasties of China and Egypt supposedly continued before and after the flood epoch; but the truth is the Identity system is thoroughly discredited if one believes the scriptures to be infallible. Once again, CI adherents are forced to attack the veracity of the Bible because, in one writer's words, "...it for sure contains some errors. 19.

This particular Identity spokesman says that he prefers a translation called "the Ferrar Fenton version, which comes from the original (;reek text." 20. Presumably the author had to search for a considerable amount of time to find an obscure translation that is corrupt enough to support his central thesis.

Next, we'll approach one of the darkest aspects of the Identity theology--the focusing of blame for all the world's ills on the most controversial people on Earth--The Jews.

The Jew As World Scapegoat

Chapter Four

"But the Moat, on which the lot fell to be the scapegoat, shall be presented alive ore the Lord, to make an atonement with him, and to let him go for a scapegoat into the wilderness." --Leviticus 16:10



One of the most consistent streams of commonality in the various Identity organizations is a distinctive willingness to blame the Jews for all the problems in the world. Furthermore, a very high percentage of CI adherents truly believe that the Jews personify the work of the Devil in the world today.

Without addressing the issue of who these "Jews" actually are (or are not--this will be covered in chapter 7), the fact remains that hatred and vindictive-ness towards the collective group of people called Jews is an identifying factor when seeking to recognize the basic beliefs of Israel Identity or Christian Identity believers.

The author of Exploding The Chosen People Myth pointedly names "Jewish promoters" as the driving force behind "...corruption in government, the liquor industry, the murder of unborn babies by abortion, pornographic literature on our news stands, sex education in the school, and other assorted ills "i.

Identity writers of every stripe have produced dozens of volumes focusing criticism on the Jews, accusing them of being the "..deceivers (that) are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh." 2. Literary works with titles like "The Plot Against Christianity" and "Judaism and its Effect on the World Today" systematically state that the worlds problems can all be traced to "...the harmful influence the Jews have exerted for ten centuries." 3.

Another Identity writer views all manifestations of supernatural evil in the world as emanating from this one people. In his hook Exposing The Chosen People Lie, he definitively writes that ".,.as long as the Christians believe that imaginary spooks are the evil forces which are to blame for their problems, conflicts, wars, etc, they will never see that it is the Jew who God has assigned as an evil force here and now." 4.

Another American Christian Identity writer says that the evil caused by the Jews is increasing because "their mating with the unsuspecting Adamites (gives) them even more receptacles into which their Satanic spirits could be injected...." 5.

The venom continues from book to book, and writer to writer--sometimes with a ferocity that is appalling. Even as one Identity proponent blames the Jews as the powers behind "...abortion (and) pornographic literature," 6. another writer connects "...the Jews to prostitution and, even more, to the white-slave traffic..." This particular white separatist, identifying the Jews as the world's propagators of "spiritual pestilence," also connects the Jew's Marxist press production" as the mechanism with which "...a people whose parasitism the whole of honest humanity is suffering, today more than ever...' 7.

This last writer, an early adherent of those who hold the Jews responsible for the worlds ills, concludes that "...the Jew stops at nothing, and in his vileness he becomes so gigantic that no one need be surprised if among our people the personification of the devil as the symbol of all evil assumes the living shape of the Jews. 8.

I would recommend the reader study the footnotes to determine which quotes were from American Christian Identity writers and which quotes were from Mein Kampf and its infamous author, Adolph Hitler.

Even though American Identity believers usually become apoplectic at comparisons between the Serpent Seed theology and the Third Reich, the theological similarities are deeper than even most realize. In prewar Germany, a noted theologian named Gerhard Kittel created an enormous 10 volume Greek New Testament dictionary that became the standard of his day. It was called Biblia Hebraica, and Kittel's "Christian" influence permeated all of Germany in general, and the upper echelons of the Nazi movement in particular.

As what many consider to be the leading theologian of his day, Kittel's influence provided Hitler's anti-semitic platform with a Christian respectability. As Willian Foxwell Albright put it "Kittel is...even darker and more menacing. ..than Goering or Goebbels." 9. Albright, who was a highly regarded scholar credited Kittel with "...the grim distinction of making extermination of the Jews theologically respectable." 10.

The assignment of the Serpent Seed role to the Jews by Identity proponents is actually quite ironic for although most Identity proponents consider themselves conservatives, the doctrine is actually New Age and Gnostic in origin. The very similar occultic oriented concept of the Root Race predates the Reich and Identity by several decades. The Theosophical Society, and its founder HP Blavatsky, propagated the doctrine of "the great white brotherhood." They got it from ancient esoteric teachings related to Hinduism and Karma from India, and the Jams of India got it from Babylon. In short, this goes all the way back to The Tower Of Babel.

It's not an accident that the Nazi adopted term Aryan is a sanskrit word from India. Also note the modern Identity manifestation under the name Aryan Nations. Blavatsky's Theosophical Society, previously known as The Aryan Theosophical Society, also proposed that non-whites be assigned the role of sub-human--Untermensch in the Nazi vocabulary. Theosophy leader Annie Besant suggested an inquiry should begin with "...any savage of the lowest type, the aborigines of Australia, the Veddhas of Ceylon, the hairy men of Borneo--these are scarcely human, yet they are human...he has practically no mind and no morals, only the germs of them. 11.

The gnostics and occultists that influenced biblical scholar Gerhard Kittel did their work well for in 1933 he joined the Nazi party and using his Christian credentials, he "...produced a body of work between t933 and 1944 filled with hatred and slander toward Jews." 12. It's important to remind the reader that Christian churches all across Germany enthusiastically embraced the anti-Semitism of National Socialism.

To appreciate the scope of the influence, we might draw an analogy. In the US, huge numbers of Christians use Strongs Exhaustive Concordance to look up words in their Bible. To put it metaphorically, Gerhard Kittel was the James Strong of Germany.

What would be the impact on Christianity if the Identity movement had such a highly respected Biblical scholar that would say this theology gives him the ...full freedom to murder...just as you should smash the brains of even the best snake...(this is) justification for the most anti-Jewish acts." 13.

I believe that given the appropriate set of political and prophetic developments, the Christian Identity movement has the potential to go this far off the track.

The comparisons between some Identity writers and various metaphysical and occultic writings is chillingly similar. Compare CI's Nord Davis Jr's statement "...all races have a particular racial memory that God has built into them for their own good" with "Each one of us has a national, racial, and family Karma from the occultic book Toward A World Religion For A New Age. 14.

The American Identity author that wrote about pre-existing "Satanic spirits...(that) could be injected into...physical bodies....' 15. is describing "...the theory of Karma, which re-assigned a reincarnating soul to a body representative of its spiritual development.'. 16. Indeed, the occultists over a century ago said that the Jews were a people in whom "...the sacred spark is missing and it is they who are the only inferior race on the globe". 17.

To be certain, this scapegoat thinking is not universal among Identity adherents, but it is unquestionably a dominant feature in a majority of instances. In some CI circles, [t seems no historical or scriptural stone remains unturned in the flood of justification for attributing evil practices to the Jews.

Even the scriptural 'proof text" of Genesis 12:3 that is so frequently cited to codify good relations between Christians and Jews is rolled out in the aggressive Identity arsenal. Readers will recall that Abraham, who received the blessing from God as the Father of Faith,' was the antecedent of all the children of Israel as well as those that "...receive the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe..."



I will bless them that at bless thee? and, I will curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. " (Genesis 12:3)



While that text is commonly used to demonstrate that God has a very specific destiny for "all the house of Israel AND the house of Judah" 19. as the physical descendants of Abraham, author Gordon Mohr actually tries to reverse this blessing/curse by stating that if the passage is actually referring to Jews, then the Soviet Union should have been blessed because "...they are the only known nation which has forbidden anti-Semitism by law." 20.

This statement is not only absurd, it is patently untrue. Several modern nations, including France, Germany, and England (to say nothing of The United States) have laws on the hooks forbidding racial and ethnic hatred. Further, the statement skirls the true issue by noting a law against anti-Semitism by the Soviets while ignoring the historical animosity the Russians have demonstrated towards the Jews.

It is easily confirmed that the 'very word Pogrom is a distinctive term that is specifically utilized to describe the historical Jewish persecutions at the hands of the Russian nationalists.

The very idea that one race is patently inferior to the balance of humanity runs contrary to so many verses in the Bible that it's difficult to know where to begin to refute the notion. The Apostle Paul, in referencing the differences between Jew and non-Jew (the latter usually called Gentiles) writes that "...Are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin; As it is written, There is none righteous, no not one..." 21.

This particular Issue Is not a question of whether or not the people that call themselves Jews actually are Jewish--it is a question of whether or not the scriptures allow believers to attribute such evil characteristics to a particular racial or religious group and to then, accordingly, treat that group with contempt. While we are called to expose and stand up for the truth, the fundamental thesis of Christianity and the Gospel is built around the concept of redeemed man, spiritually conforming his ways to the Son of God and loving one's enemies--not persecuting and lashing out at them.

The New Testament elaborately articulates the fashion in which we are to observe the spirit of the law in our relationships and how we should "Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time." 22. In fact, in the very next verse, the Apostle further instructs us to "Let your speech be always with grace..." 23. This would seem to run counter to the teachings of the Identity movement, at least in regard to crusading against one particular group of presumed offenders.

On another level, the holy scriptures make it clear that the source of evil in the world cannot he considered a particular race or creed, but a hierarchical structure of spiritual powers. In the classic text concerning our REAL enemy, the Word Of God asserts that "...we wrestle NOT against Flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." 24.

It is certainly true that Satan has his disciples in constant opposition to the true chosen of God. Jesus did say to the Jewish leaders "Ye are of your father the Devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do." 25. Later, when Pontius Pilate sought to release Jesus from the false charges brought against him, the Jews pressed him saying "Let him be crucified." After thoroughly reviling Him, insulting Him, and cursing Him, they willingly brought a curse upon themselves when they called out and said "His blood be on us, and on our children." 26.

Even with these egregious sins against him, Jesus said "Father forgive them for they know not what they do." 27.

Several parables taught by Yahshua illustrate in concise terms the true path that a follower of The Lord should embark upon. The parable of the wheat and tares is a priceless example. You'll recall the tale consists of a man planting wheat in his field and soon after finding someone had planted weeds, or tares, in among the wheat.

When both crops became evident, ". ..the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence than hath it tares? He said unto them, an enemy hath done this."

After his servants offered to pull up the weeds, the Lord told them not to do it. The text strikingly illustrates why certain actions are not permissable on the part of the believer. The Lord forbid the premature reaping of the harvest,



"…lest while ye gather tip the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to bunn them: but gather the Wheat into my barn." 28.



Although this parable should be obvious, our Lord even chose to specifically interpret the parable so there should be no misunderstanding. "The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one; The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels. As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world." 29.

Please note that the Devil is a distinctive character in this parable even if he is seen to have spiritual descendants--evildoers that we are specifically instructed not to uproot as that task is reserved for the angels at the great harvest. There is even the tacit understanding that our discernment may be less than perfect in the matter as the text clearly states we might mistakenly pull up some Wheat while trying to get at the tares. I submit a wise course of action is to be very careful regarding the usurping of the authority that belongs to the Lord.

To phrase it another way, when the Holy Spirit inspired Solomon to write "To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven," I don't think he had Der Fuehrer's "final solution" in view.

The Jews are not the true enemy--they are, like so many others, the real enemy's victims.

Whoa that work is alot larger then I though so I think i will stop posting it, here is the link again to read the totality: www.theamericanvoice.com/ChristIdentity.html

It would be interesting to get Petr and some of the other Christians thoughts on the views of there fellow brothers in Christ as portrayed in this article.

....

I have heard of CI and also Herbert Armstrong. CI discussed organized Jewery in terms of being an enemy, which is a pretty obvious fact in regards to CI, but it is also true in regards to Christianity. The reason that many stores and many municipalities now deny Christ is a result of pressure form Jewish organizations such as the ADL and ACLU. These are the modern day Pharisees and Jesus said such people were motivated by the Devil, so CI is being consistant with the Bible in that regard. As far as philosophy, the CI material I heard focuses on promoting onseself in the face of adversity that the Devil presents.

Herbert Armstrong in contrast believed that Jews were from the tribes of Judah and Benjamin, the ones that fought against the Northern Kingdom of Israel. A lot of people don't realize that Israel was broken into two halves and the ten tribes of the Northern Kingdom became lost in history after being captured by Assyria. Accually, the Southern Kingdom was also lost since there is no way to prove there are any descendant from the tribe of Judah and Benjamin. But Armstrong clearly states that Ephriam was the younger brother of Manasseh.

And of course the other underlying assumption is that this stuff is actual fact, and that the people who claim to be descendants from the tribe of Judah are not nothing but impostors from the Khazar Kingdom.

- "It would be interesting to get Petr and some of the other Christians thoughts on the views of there fellow brothers in Christ as portrayed in this article. "


CIs are not my "brothers in Christ" any more than Jehovah's Witnesses or Mormons are.

They hold onto myriads of un-Biblical doctrines - their idea of Eve copulating with Satan is nothing short of blasphemous and comes straight out of pagan-Gnostic and Talmudic sources.

Moreover, they basically believe that (white) man is saved through his genes and works, not faith, thus presenting a soul-damning "another gospel" (Galatians 1:6, 8-9)

7. THE JEWS ARE NOT MEMBERS OF ISRAEL. Christian Identity ALWAYS states that the Jews are not Semitic or Judacan at all. They usually identify Jewish men and women as either of the 'serpent seed' (descended from an unscriptural union of Eve and the serpent), or as Edomites that were not descended from Shem (i.e. "shemitic" or Semitic), but from Japheth (another son of Noah). This is in spite of the fact that Japhetic peoples have been routinely traced to the white European races.

I thought that they thought that "Jews" and other "dark" peoples descended from Ham and that "white" people descended from Shem with Japheth being Orientals. Ham is thought to have participated in intercourse with a dark skinned pre-Adamite woman on Noah's Ark which resulted in a black by the name of Cush from which the Ethiopians descended.

John Rocker,

CIers have a myriad of different schemes to explain Biblically how the various Races came into existence.

Almost all seem to focus on pre-Adamites (AKA 6th day creations) or on the 3 sons of Noah (or their wives). Some think that Shem was the progenitor of Whites, some think it was Japeth. Some think that Japeth was the progenitor of East Asians. As you noted some think that "Ham is thought to have participated in intercourse with a dark skinned pre-Adamite woman on Noah's Ark which resulted in a black by the name of Cush" whilst another view is that Ham was cursed and this 'Hamitic Curse' turned him into a Black. Apparently academics have researched this and found that this belief is of jewish origination (well duh the OT was written by jews!)

Merely questioning the belief that Jews were co-sufferers in the Black slave experience draws angry rebukes from Jews of all stripes. The book in question presents indisputable historical data from census records, wills, Jewish historians and scholars, rabbinical sermons, port records, court records, runaway slave notices, slave sale advertisements, etc., which forces all sides to grapple with the long-held mythology that Black people always found a friend in the Jews.

Some Jews and their dutiful negros have hired the services of Dr. Harold Brackman of the Simon Wiesenthal Center in an effort to preserve the comfortable mythology which has obscured the actual historical record. But unbeknownst to them, Dr. Brackman's 1977 unpublished Ph.D. dissertation, entitled The Ebb and Flow of Conflict, goes far beyond The Secret Relationship in its claims of Jewish conspiracy in the Biblical origin of White supremacy. He clearly states that Jewish Talmudic scholars invented the Hamitic Myth which, through the story of Noah, everlastingly assigned to the African the role of slave and divinely cursed servant of White people. According to Dr. Tony Martin's book, The Jewish Onslaught, the Jewish invention of the Hamitic Myth "provided the moral pretext upon which the entire trade grew and flourished."

"There is no denying," said Brackman of the story of Noah, "that the Babylonian Talmud was the first source to read a Negrophobic content into the episode..." Brackman pointed out further that two third century Jewish "Sages" provided homosexual embellishments for the Biblical story as well.

This "curse" was the absolute basis for the Europeans' choice of dark-skinned Africans for chattel slavery. Many denominations of Christianity, Islam and Judaism believe it and teach it to this very moment! Southern plantation owners attacked the Abolitionists with it; its teaching was the foundation of the slaves' permitted religion; Black inferiority is based on it; the Ku Klux Klan relies on it; even the Mormons officially taught it until 1978. When the Jews invented it and promoted it to the world they sentenced the Black Race to a holocaust the likes of which no people have ever suffered. "Hate teaching" will forever be defined by this wicked belief system brought to us in the Jewish Holy Talmud via Harold Brackman.
