EP14 Merry Christmas From The New Prisoners
We are living through a time of social upheaval. The influences of global conglomerates and government permeate nearly every facet of our lives. This forced monoculture values compliance, obedience, and unquestioned belief. These entities have captured much this year as part of their sinister plot: sports, entertainment, restaurants, and the medical industry. Their sites are set on our jobs and eventually our ability to gather, associate, or travel outside our homes. Some even want us in camps if we don't comply.
These times challenge our faith in our institutions. In my opinion most of them have failed us. Even those that claim to be on our side enable or cheer on the coming global technocratic oligarchy. But something still pushes back, something from our past, something that we all still remember after all of their manipulation and scare tactics, we still remember the spirit of Christmas.
The olde time religion and sense of community may have left most of the towns and cities we all live in, but Christmas is still here. The story from the bible may be as unfamiliar to many as early treatment for covid is to the CDC but even the trigglyiest of trigglypuffs knows what a Christmas tree is and what day is Christmas Day.
Christmas itself was a change in culture for mankind. One meant to unite us all in the spirit of Jesus Christ, the son of God. To give and receive from one another that spirit and to rejoice in it while celebrating his birth. That may mean absolutely nothing to some but even those people still have a Christmas tree, they still exchange presents, and they still get together with their family. Hopefully not while being triple masked and triple vaxxed and anal swab tested.
Times do change but the American traditions of Christmas are forever tied to our identity. Tied to our unfortunate addiction to consumerism. Up until this time of the year many American businesses haven't made a profit. Most of the year is spent on overhead and taxes. In American homes we tend to consume ourselves into more debt, which is what props up the system we live in from our currency to the control the banks have on our culture. The toys under the tree for the kids used to say Made In America and now they all say Made In China. Our betters in Washington have run up the credit card this year more than any of us could have imagined doing to splurge on presents for our family and friends. We're still waiting on the final total and for the bills to start rolling in. At least this year, thanks to one lone Senator from West Virginia, Joe Manchin, we haven't maxxed out all of the cards yet.
All of these things I've mentioned so far don't make it seem like Christmas is a good time of year at all, and if you ask Joe Biden, the coming Christmas holiday will start a Dark Winter filled with sickness and death. Of overflowing hospitals and morgues. But like the same foolish pride all sorts of leaders had in history, in thinking they could control the spirit of Christmas and snuff it out, or replace it with something that aims our thanks and praise at them, the intangible nature of Christmas forever slips out of the grip of tyrants.
Christmas survived the gulags, the death camps, and the many horrors of communism and fascism. It survived the wars that put the whole world into bloody conflict. It survived our racist past and it continues to inspire and enlighten people when the darkest parts of our nature could have ended our existence as a species.
Christmas comes once a year and knowing that makes it so much more powerful. It focuses our attention on a singular event. Most of us still get the day off of work to observe it. We make plans with family and friends to celebrate it every year, no matter what shape our world is in and we take that time to appreciate one another and share the love and unity between one another that is the essence of the human spirit.
In the coldest and darkest part of the year for those who celebrate it in the northern hemisphere, Christmas symbolizes the warmth and light we all posses. The inherent light in all of us that connects us to the universe and to each other. The tyrants of our past our present and our future cannot ever posses that because it is owned by no one, its only something given to us all by a power greater than a president or a pharmaceutical company or a bank.
Just like liberty, our faith in Christmas and what it represents allows us to push forward. No matter how great the losses were in the previous year. No amount of threats or punishment from the state can stop it. Our lights will be lit, our tree will be up, and no matter how full or empty or stockings are this year we will endure to see them again next year.
In the spirit of Christmas I wish for you all to remember the good in our culture and what it means to be free. To observe this holiday in the traditions that you and your family can pass down from generation to generation. When you look around your dinner table at your loved ones and at all that you have in the world, I hope it inspires you to cherish and protect it from evil and appreciate the beauty and the innocence that can never be replaced by what evil offers.
Regimes come and go. Kingdoms fall. Countries divide and collapse. The winds of change may blow us in all sorts of directions. Hopefully into a new era of liberty, where we are free to live as we see fit, but there aren't many guarantees. They can take your job this year. They can shut down the whole country again. They can even try to force a needle into your arm or into the arm of your child.
If we are to continue to fight for what is inherent. If we are to assert that all people are born equal and that we all have rights given to us from our creator we have to demand a few things:
Hands off our bodies, hands off our children, stay out of our business, and at this time of year when its cold and miserable, when we need each other the most to survive the winter you will not take our traditions away from us. We can do away with you, that choose to control us this next year but Christmas stays.
