Michael Hoffman's Summer Speaking Engagement

www.revisionisthistory.org

This writer has been invited to speak at the "America's Promise Annual Bible Summer Conference" in Sandpoint, Idaho, which will be held Friday July 26 through Sunday July 28. The town of Sandpoint is located in northern Idaho, on the shore of one of most beautiful bodies of water in North America, Lake Pend Oreille (www.sandpointonline.com/rec/lakeguide/index.html).

I will give two talks at the America's Promise conference. The first will be "Early Protestant Resistance to Usury: Setting the Record Straight." The next day I will give an address based on new research, "Counterfeit Israel: How Ancient Paganism Mixed with Rabbinic Judaism." We will also have a book and literature table offering our latest publications, including Testing the Talmud, a book which will be published in June by Independent History and Research. (I have written the introduction to this book, which was authored by a university professor of ancient Hebrew).

The conference in Sandpoint is hosted by Pastor and Mrs. Dave Barley, both of whom will be speaking, along with: Richard Kirsch, Thomas Rolland, Doug Evers and Ernestine Young. I have been informed that Charles Jennings may travel from South Africa to speak, though his appearance is not, at this point, certain.

The America's Promise Annual Bible Summer Conference will be held on the grounds of the America's Promise Church on the outskirts of Sandpoint. Admission to the conference is by donation (please be generous). Lunch will be served on the grounds of the church, also on a donation basis.

Sandpoint is a summer destination for many travelers. Hotel and motel information is provided below. If you believe you will attend, then to avoid disappointment book your lodging and transportation as soon as you are able. The conference site is located near railroad tracks and for those who don't mind the noise from occasional passing freight trains, the organizers permit camping in tents, as well as RV campers parked on the grounds (space permitting).

Dave Barley and this writer have over the years disagreed on points of faith. In spite of these disagreements I respect Dave and his wife and family for their consistent defiance of the forces of the New World Order. The Barleys have been heavily pressured and defamed by the media, and self-appointed (and misnamed) "human rights" lobbyists. In more than 20 years of speaking candidly about Judaism, Zionism and on the question of which nation(s) of people actually comprise "Israel," Pastor Barley has never compromised in the face of numerous assaults, including vandalism of his church and threats on his life. America's Promise has in the past hosted and recorded my earliest lectures on Judaism which eventually formed the basis of the first (2000) edition of my book, Judaism's Strange Gods.

I am most grateful to America’s Promise for this opportunity to share my research on Judaism as well as on the subject of usury, with an audience of truthseekers, and to meet with friends both old and new.

    Mr. Hoffman, will you be making audio and/or video recordings of your presentation? If I am not able to attend this conference I would gladly buy a recording of it.

    The organizers of this conference usually record the speeches. If this is the case for 2013, mine would be available through them, and possibly from us as well, if the host’s grant us permission to offer them.

    This is great news! I would love to attend, however, my commitment to college this summer prevents my attendance. (My lack of sufficient funds would be another issue) But since I cannot attend, I would definitely be purchasing the audio or video recordings of your speeches, Mr. Hoffman. They're always thought-provoking & they never disappoint! Also, I can't wait for the book, "Testing the Talmud" to be released. It sounds like a potentially ground-breaking study of Talmudic writings. Such a critique, from a man who is a professor of Ancient Hebrew, is almost unheard-of these post-modern days. What school does (or did) he teach at? If you don't mind answering, Mr. Hoffman?

    All the best,

    DGabriel

  4. I too am happy to hear this. Nothing can ever be said or done by
    anyone that would cause me to leave the True Catholic Faith. But I
    appreciate you and a handful of others who have studied and researched for those who don't have the same abilities to do so.
    I am glad of the SandPoint engagement. The numbers of Protestants who are being pulled into the Judeao-Christian Thing to me is maddening. Alas, painful to think, Catholics too.
