Buyer Beware On KONY 2012 and the Invisible Children Charity

Invisible Children Inc Executives have retained expensive Lawyers and in the past have been threatening libel suits to any one who dares to question their financial operations or their ethical legitimacy. They have also used your donation money to hire expensive Washington lobbyists to influence policies to suit their objectives. There close social relationships with African Oppressive regimes have also ensured that they have been protected and shrouded in biased and lopsided misinformation for years.

Many people are very upset at how Invisible Children Inc has been using the Joseph Kony Saga to cause sensationalism, so as to create a way for them to collect more money in donations and enrich themselves.

The more money they collect, the more these Invisible Children executives pay themselves hefty bonuses. Base salary for Invisible Children exec is about $85, 0000. When allowances and bonuses are added, these guys make over $160,000 a year. Just think what this money they lavish themselves with, could do for the people in Africa for whom they claim to be collecting donations for.

Legit charity or a bottom-feeding scam? One thing is for sure, a lot of money is changing hands. Buyer beware!

Invisible Children Inc does NOT have an Independent and external Auditor. Their Financial Statements as submitted to the Charity Navigator web site cannot be independently verified. It should be assumed to be a cooked financial statement since it was submitted by their in house Auditor and can not be substantiated by a third party.

For the last 2 years less than 10% of funds collected by Invisible Children are sent to the Ground to help the Ugandan Children. Previous to that, less than 30% of the money they collected was sent to Uganda to help the Ugandan People. A preliminary survey of all projects and activity on the ground in Uganda to help the Uganda Children does not even total up to $1.5 Million of the $13 Million they have collected in donations so far.

The Executives of Invisible Children have used the ‘Invisible Children Inc’ Charity to farther their own Careers in Media, Film and Music. Before Invisible Children Inc started, the Executive directors where Media arts students who went to Africa to look for project to farther their careers. They first went to Southern Sudan on a hit and miss venture and by just by chance they went farther south and stumbled upon the conflict in Northern Uganda. Since then they have capitalized on the Uganda -Joseph Kony War to spear head their media, film and music careers. They have also become stinky rich and drive in fancy cars and live in fancy houses with your donation money.

Now in 2012, Invisible Children has created this STOP Kony 2012 viral video campaign to mislead people that they are collecting money to help catch Joseph Kony? The LRA Joseph Kony war, that they talk about in their video has ended over 3 years ago. Joseph Kony has not been seen or heard from, for the last two years and is actually believed to be dead. The United Nations however has reported that villages in Central Africa have recently been raided and people killed by thugs believed to be the LRA soldiers of Joseph Kony.

What many people do not kow, is that over 5 months ago, the USA Government had already sent 100 combat marine soldiers to Uganda and Central Africa to catch Joseph Kony. These Marines are co-coordinating their efforts with the armies of Uganda, DR Congo, South Sudan, and Central African Republic in an effort to Catch Kony. How is the Money you donate going to be used help catch Joseph Kony? Does Invisible Children have an Army in Africa that they are collecting this money to equip for a mission to catch kony? On invisible children’s donate website, they write that; “To bring home Joseph Kony’s child soldiers, it will take an army of individuals making a monthly commitment through TRI contributions” Is the Money you donate to Invisible Children and Kony2012 being given to the United States Government to capture Kony? Off course Not. Will the Money be sent to Africa to Help the African Poor People? Yes only only less than 10%. So what will Invisible Children do with the rest of the 90% of your money? Think about it!

Besides the viral Video of kony2012 contains recycled materials outdated six years ago. The Ugandan kids you see in those Videos are already over 21 years and are currently struggling in Uganda to continue with their lives while, Invisible Children is still Sensationalizing them for their own personal gains. The information in the kony2012 Viral video is half untrue, t is misleading, biased and completely out dated.

The Viral Youtube ‘Invisible Children’ Video does not focus on helping Ugandan children but rather on showcasing the media skills of the video maker. If you want to Donate Money to help Children In Uganda, You are better off donating your money to any of the many Charity Organizations that deal directly with helping people. Do NOT waste your money and donate to Invisible Children. source – KONY2012

Our inbox is filled with requests from jails and prisons across America from chaplains in desperate need of King James Bibles in English and Spanish

Chaplain Hooker at the Orange County Corrections in Florida wrote to us earlier to say ‘thank you’, first and foremost, for the 32 cases of KJVs we sent them last year.

Why Are None Of The Celebrity Church Pastors Warning The Jews And Israel About The Coming Time Of Jacob’s Trouble That’s Written In The Prophets?

Why are Christian pastors in the church and pro-Israel social media influencers silent on the coming time of Jacob’s trouble for the Jews and Israel spoken of by the prophets?

The other day, I read about 1,000 American Christian pastors and social media influencers going enmasse to Israel to show support for the Jews in an event orchestrated by the Friends of Zion initiative in collaboration with the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Ok, that’s great, I have no problem with that at all. At NTEB, we’ve been showing support for the Jews and Israel for the past 17 years, but with a noticeable difference. Along with our support, we also warn them of the coming holocaust that will soon envelope them. Why is no one else doing that?

“For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.” Matthew 24:21 (KJB)

Can you imagine, as a Christian, getting to address Jewish leaders in Israel, or better yet, being in the same room as Benjamin Netanyahu and be able to speak with him face to face? Many Christians pastors in America, like John Hagee, have had those opportunities and continue to have them, and stay strangely silent about Jesus Christ and Bible prophecy. These men and women say how much they love and support Israel and the Jews, I don’t doubt that, and are unafraid to publicly declare their support for them. But underneath all that bluster they are cowards, afraid to tell the Jews the truth about their current estranged condition with God, about the coming time of Jacob’s trouble, about how the majority of the Jews will worship Antichrist in the Tribulation, and all the other things the Old and New Testaments declare are coming for them. Why won’t they tell them? For one reason, many pastors in churches today know very little about Bible prophecy, and you can’t speak of what you don’t know. But the other reason, and I believe the larger one, is that they know if they tell the Jews the truth, whatever relationship they have with them, in many cases financial, will be immediately severed. Money talks, and loudly at that.

WE HAVE A FANTASTIC SELECTION OF MATERIALS ON THE JEWS AND ISRAEL IN THE END TIMES, CLICK TO VIEW AND PURCHASE!!

So let us take a moment through our platform, to send a message of love, and warning, to the nation of Israel and the Jewish people. In love, everyone at Now The End Begins loves the Jewish people, we pray for the peace of Jerusalem, and we are Zionists in the truest, and most biblical sense. In warning, we bring to your remembrance what the prophets and apostles have declared to be true about the coming time of Jacob’s trouble that will see the rise of Antichrist and the destruction of Jerusalem. But please don’t take our word for it, see for yourself the things that must shortly come to pass, saith the LORD God of Jacob.

A Biblical Outline of Warning to The Jews and Israel About the Coming Time of Jacob’s Trouble

I. Israel’s Present Moment of Unbelief Foretold

Israel remains in partial blindness until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
- “For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.” Romans 11:25 (KJB)
This blindness is temporary, but it leaves Israel currently unprepared for the coming deception.
Israel today stands at the threshold of prophetic fulfillment, not revival — that comes after the Tribulation (Ezek. 36–37).

II. The Rapture Removes the Church and Opens the Final Countdown for Israel

After the Church — the Body of Christ — is caught up (1 Thess. 4, 1 Cor. 15), God’s prophetic clock for Israel restarts.
This begins Daniel’s 70th week — a seven-year period specifically decreed upon “thy people” and “thy holy city.”
- “Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.” Daniel 9:24 (KJB)
The Rapture will leave Israel religious but deceived, vulnerable to signing a covenant with a man they will believe is their Messiah.

III. The Man of Sin Will Deceive Israel Through a Covenant of Peace

Israel will enter a false peace treaty with the Antichrist.
- “And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.” — Daniel 9:27
This peace will not be peace from God but a trap, luring the nation into trusting a Gentile world leader.
The Antichrist will allow the rebuilding of the Temple and the restoration of sacrifices (2 Thess. 2:3-4; Rev. 11:1-2).

IV. Mid-Tribulation Betrayal: The Abomination of Desolation

At the midpoint of the seven years, the Antichrist will break the covenant.
He will enter the Temple and declare himself to be God.
- “When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)” Matthew 24:15 (KJB)
- “Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.” 2 Thessalonians 2:4 (KJB)
This moment begins the Great Tribulation, the fiercest part of Jacob’s Trouble.
Jesus warned the Jews to flee immediately, not debate, negotiate, or stay behind May 14th, 1948 was not the prophesied regathering of the Jews, the Second Advent will be.
- “Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:” Matthew 24:16 (KJB)

V. The Time of Jacob’s Trouble: A Warning of Unprecedented Distress

Jeremiah prophesied a time of terror coming upon Israel.
- “For thus saith the LORD; We have heard a voice of trembling, of fear, and not of peace. Ask ye now, and see whether a man doth travail with child? wherefore do I see every man with his hands on his loins, as a woman in travail, and all faces are turned into paleness? Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob’s trouble; but he shall be saved out of it.” Jeremiah 30:5-7 (KJB)
God Himself describes it as a time of refining, not annihilation.
Two-thirds of Israel will perish during this period (Zechariah 13:8).
Israel will face:
- Global military assault
- Persecution under the Beast system
- Forced worship of the Antichrist
- Divine judgments poured out (Revelation 6–19)

VI. God Will Use This Time to Bring Israel to Repentance

The purpose of Jacob’s Trouble is purging and restoration, not destruction.
During the Tribulation, God will raise up 144,000 sealed Jewish evangelists (Revelation 7), as well as the Two Witnesses (Revelation 11).
Through fiery trial, Israel will finally recognize their rejected Messiah.
- “And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.” Zechariah 12:10 (KJB)
The remnant of Israel will cry out nationally for the return of Jesus, but at tremendous cost.
- “For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.” — Matthew 23:39 (KJB)
- “And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the LORD, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein. And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The LORD is my God.” Zechariah 13:9 (KJB)

VII. The Second Coming: Israel’s Deliverance at Armageddon

When Jerusalem is surrounded and on the verge of destruction, the Lord Himself will descend.
- “Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle. And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.” Zechariah 14:3,4 (KJB)
His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives (Zechariah 14:4).
Israel will be rescued, the Antichrist destroyed, and the nations judged (Revelation 19).
The remnant of Israel will enter the Millennial Kingdom, where prophecy finds fulfillment and the promises to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob are realized.

“Thus saith the LORD of hosts; In those days it shall come to pass, that ten men shall take hold out of all languages of the nations, even shall take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew, saying, We will go with you: for we have heard that God is with you.” Zechariah 8:23 (KJB)

This is not my opinion, my interpretation, or the ‘historic view of eschatology’. What I have told you here will absolutely come to pass as it is written in the scripture of truth. The Jews are God’s chosen people, but many of them will choose Antichrist over the Lord and wind up in a burning, fiery Hell. And right, here in the Church Age, every single Jew on the face of the Earth can only be saved by trusting the shed blood of Jesus on the cross. The prophets all point to what the New Testament declares to be true. I believe that all Christians should love the Jews and pray for Israel, but to not tell them this vital truth is tantamount to depraved indifference over their lost spiritual condition. Don’t just say you love the Jews, don’t just say you support Israel, tell them the truth, Pastor.

DEP’T OF WAR: US Commandos Storm Venezuelan ‘Terror Tanker’ In Breathtaking Airborne Takedown As Tensions Rocket Toward Open Military Conflict

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

US commandos from the Department of War stormed a Venezuelan oil tanker in a breathtaking airborne takedown amid ratcheting tensions in the Caribbean.

The breaking news that U.S. commandos stormed and seized a Venezuelan oil tanker is not simply another geopolitical dust-up — it is a visible sign of the times, a reminder that the world’s great powers are now moving pieces on the prophetic chessboard with increasing speed and intensity. The Department of War is open for business.

“In your patience possess ye your souls.” Luke 21 :19 (KJB)

When President Trump announced that U.S. forces had taken control of what he described as a “very large tanker” operating off the Venezuelan coast, the world caught a glimpse of something Washington hasn’t shown in decades: the willingness to use force decisively, swiftly, and without apology. And make no mistake, while the modern bureaucracy insists on calling it the “Department of Defense,” what you saw on full display was the Department of War, doing exactly what it was renamed from in 1949, projecting American power upon the seas. But where does all this lead, and more importantly, where does it all end?

President Trump orders seizure of Venezuelan oil tanker with stunning attack by US commandos at the Department of War

FROM THE DAILY MAIL UK: Footage released by the Trump administration on Wednesday showed American forces swooping on the tanker in helicopters and rappelling down ropes. Troops with guns drawn darted up stairs to the bridge to take control of the vessel off the coast of Venezuela.

Attorney General Pam Bondi wrote in a statement on X: ‘Today, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Homeland Security Investigations, and the United States Coast Guard, with support from the Department of War, executed a seizure warrant for a crude oil tanker used to transport sanctioned oil from Venezuela and Iran.

‘For multiple years, the oil tanker has been sanctioned by the United States due to its involvement in an illicit oil shipping network supporting foreign terrorist organizations.’

The release of the video comes hours after it was reported on Wednesday that the tanker had been seized, sparking fears of a potential blockade and sending oil prices sky-rocketing. No name was given for the ‘stateless’ vessel, nor was it confirmed precisely where off the coast of Venezuela the raid unfolded.

Trump called it ‘the largest one ever seized’ and warned that ‘other things are happening.’

The capture sent oil prices climbing sharply, with Brent crude rising 1.21 percent to $62.69 a barrel amid fears the escalation could disrupt global supply. Venezuela is one of the largest suppliers of oil to China, which has been the destination of between 55 percent and 90 percent of the country’s oil exports.

A Bloomberg report called the move ‘a serious escalation’ after Trump demanded Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro step down. Caracas did not immediately respond to the seizure.

When asked about what the US will do with the oil seized from the Venezuelan tanker, Trump said, ‘We keep it.’

This week’s seizure marks the first time the Trump administration has moved to interfere with the country’s oil distribution amid the hostile pressure campaign. When a reporter on Wednesday asked Trump about who owns the seized oil tanker, the President responded, ‘You’ll get that information later.’ READ MORE
