"Did you enjoy the Holiday Concert?"* the school principal asked my friend. "Yes, but why didn't you call it a Christmas Concert?' "Oh I can't. The Superintendent said the concert must be inclusive of all the diverse cultures in the school. We are not allowed to mention Christmas, Christ, or Jesus." My friend was bewildered. The school is 95% Christian. Yet all the carols with Christian references were performed as instrumentals. Instead they recited "In Flanders Fields," a poem commemorating the dead from World War One! This humiliating scene was replayed millions of times this Christmas season. Some Christian groups even boycotted retailers who dropped the word Christmas from their advertising. Celebrating the central Christian holiday, and even saying "Merry Christmas" has become a political act. Why has this happened? The answer isn't pretty. The world financial elite wants to eradicate Christianity. Their forerunners crucified Christ. Christianity gives everyone a piece of the pie and elitists want it all for themselves. According to Christianity, all human beings were created in God's image, i.e. Divine Truth resides in every soul. Accordingly, human life is sacred and God loves everyone equally. On the other hand, the New World Order wants to corrupt and debase humanity and snuff out any spark of Divinity. They want to allot us "human rights" (which they define and distribute) instead of acknowledging our God given rights. You see, animals are better to herd and cull. "DIVERSITY" In a truly pluralistic society, all major religions would be officially recognized. This is especially true of Christianity, the founding heritage practiced by 80% of Americans. In our society however, some people are in George Orwell's words, "more equal than others." "Diversity" is a devious ploy to subjugate the Christian majority. Christians have to take a back seat to 1.5% of Jews for whom Chanukah is an insignificant holiday that doesn't even fall on December 25. (I won't mention "Kwanza" since most Blacks are Christian.) To degrade humanity, the elite has to dynamite the four pillars of human identity: race, religion, nation and family. Just as it promotes homosexuality and fe-manism to undermine family, it uses a Jewish holiday to destroy Christianity. The truth is that most Jews and other non-Christians would be happy to make Christmas an official national holiday. Some Jews and Muslims even started groups to promote the authentic celebration of Christmas. No one can object to the spirit of Divine Love and human brotherhood that Christ represents. It is the heart and soul of Christmas. No one, that is, except the foreign-based central bankers and the occult (i.e. Masonic) political and cultural establishment that they employ. Masons are behind the spurious division of religion and state. In his book /"Unholy Alliances"/ Dr. James Wardner points out that the Supreme Court had a Masonic majority during the 30-year period 1941-1971 when the court "erected a wall separating the religious from the secular. It was an epoch when prayer and Bible reading were erased from public education..." (P.72) Paul Fisher (in /"Behind the Lodge Door")/ suggests, "Masons have succeeded in having their religion dominate American society." (P.244) "Freemasonry historically has been a revolutionary worldwide movement organized to advance Cabbalistic Gnosticism; to undermine and ...destroy Christianity; to infuse Masonic philosophy into key government structures; and to subvert any government which does not comport with Masonic principles." (P.16) The destruction of Christianity is a main goal of Communism, a spawn of the banking elite through its Masonic arm. Communist/Masonic governments persecuted and murdered Christians in Russia, China, Spain, Mexico, France etc. THE WIDER ATTACK The attack on Christmas is part of a wider war on Christianity in the USA. Incredible as it sounds, a US Navy Chaplain is being fired because he insists on praying "in Jesus' name." He is conducting a hunger strike to persuade President Bush to rectify this situation. Seventy-three Congressmen wrote Oct 25 letter, that while 80% of soldiers are Christians, "it is increasingly difficult for Christian Chaplains to use the name of Jesus when praying." (*Washington Times,* Dec. 21, 205) George W. Bush who claims to be a born-again Christian is in fact a member of the Satanic (Masonic) "Skull and Bones." He sent a "Happy Holiday" card from the White House. Nevertheless the House of Representative fought hard to have the Capitol Christmas Tree called that and passed a symbolic resolution upholding Christmas "symbols and traditions". Meanwhile when Homeland Security Commissar Michael Chertoff lighted a Chanukah Menorah, nobody suggested that it should be called a "Holiday Candle." Using guilt generated by the Jewish holocaust, the elitists are conditioning Christians to defer to Jews and meekly forfeit their beliefs and institutions. Naturally, this is causing anti-Semitism. Happily, some Christians are standing up. There was uproar in a Long Island community when a Jewish town Supervisor interrupted a Catholic priest who evoked Christ when blessing a Christmas tree at a lighting ceremony. "This is inappropriate," the Supervisor said. "I just want to make it clear that this is in no way a religious ceremony." "I have to tell you that Manhasset is in an uproar," said Christine Roberts, who is Jewish herself. "It really was the wrong thing to say at the wrong time. There is a lot of hostility going around. Angry letters to the editor, angry conversations. Insanity has absolutely overtaken this town." The Supervisor later apologized.("Christmas Debate at Manhasset Tree Lighting," http://Newsday.com Dec.9, 2005) In a wider context, a high school student in Pittsfield MA refused to wear a yellow Star of David; similar to the ones the Nazis forced Jews to wear. It was part of an exercise to "teach empathy." Samantha Gage 13, said: "Many people won't learn anything except that their religion (if they're not Jewish) isn't good enough and that being Jewish or expressing Jewish symbols is a better religion and the only way to get the grades we deserve." Not all Jews are part of this ruling caste but only those Jews (and non-Jews) who work for the central bankers through the web of corporations, foundations, media holdings, universities, government agencies etc. that constitutes the US Establishment. The majority of Jews like myself want no part of the New World Order, which actually plans to stamp out all God believers: true Judaism (and Jews) along with Christianity and Christians. But the bankers would love to deflect hostility against all Jews, not just the ones that work for them. This way opposition to their malevolent plan can be dismissed as hate and prejudice. FINALLY We keep hearing alarming reports that the United States is becoming a Christian theocracy. This is funny given the treatment Christmas is receiving. Martin Luther King merits a national holiday but not Christ. Jay Leno made the point that it's OK to name Halloween. "So we have a holiday for Demons and Witches but not one for Christ?" (Very telling.) He heard the movie "Miracle on 34th Street" was being retitled "Coincidence on 34th Street." Christians must boycott all events and stores that pass Christmas off as a generic holiday. They must organize counter events, which are authentic celebrations. (Chanukah falls on Dec. 16 this year, and on Dec. 5 in 2007.) Christ said: "So every one who acknowledges me before men, I will acknowledge before my Father who is in heaven; but whoever denies me before men, I also will also deny before my Father who is in heaven." (Mathew 10:32-33) Then he said:" Do not think that I have come to bring peace on earth; I have not come to bring peace but a sword." We can no more take religion out of national life than we can take light out of a room without being left in darkness. The new treatment of Christmas is more proof that we are being subjected to a stealth campaign of behavior modification. The only way to stop the downward spiral is for the US to accept Christianity as its official religion, as part of a religious revival that would involve putting the current criminal satanic leadership in jail and getting out of Iraq. In Israel, Jews have no trouble mentioning Passover. Christians also need a national homeland where they can officially observe their beliefs. What better place than the United States? Let's celebrate Christ's birthday with gusto this year!

Here's the poem "In Flanders Fields" In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved, and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields. It really still has religious imagery in it, with the talk of being between crosses, so it wouldn't really apply either. I was struck with the idea that many of the people reciting and hearing it probably don't know where Flanders is, why it was significant, or what war is being referred to in it. It's also commemorating Canadian war dead, and was written in 1915 by a Canadian guy.
Very moving. Yes, many will be clueless. The horrors of the Great War are not spoken of much, Europe and the UK lost so many from that one generation. http://www.skygod.com/quotes/highflight.html High Flight Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth Up, up the long, delirious burning blue — John Gillespie Magee, J During the desperate days of the Battle of Britain, hundreds of Americans crossed the border into Canada to enlist with the Royal Canadian Air Force. Knowingly breaking the law, but with the tacit approval of the then still officially neutral United States Government, they volunteered to fight the Nazis. John Gillespie Magee, Jr., was one such American. Born in Shanghai, China, in 1922 to an English mother and a Scotch-Irish-American father, Magee was 18 years old when he entered flight training. Within the year, he was sent to England and posted to the newly formed No 412 Fighter Squadron, RCAF, which was activated at Digby, England, on 30 June 1941. He was qualified on and flew the Supermarine Spitfire. ... (continues at link) I once read that Peggy Noonan wrote a speech for Reagan using the last few words from this wonderful poem. He suggested it be changed to "Reach out and touch someone" like the phone commercial at the time. She didn't.
That's a moving poem also. I think Reagan used it for his speech after Challenger blew up. I remember it at the time (though I was only 14). I also thought that he wrote it, never realizing that it was cribbed from a poem. I've been reading about WWI for the last few months, and once you realize the sheer magnitude of the horror of it, some of the leadership decisions taken between the two wars make a bit more sense. I think that Chamberlain was desperate to do whatever it took to prevent that from happening again, and if it took some hapless Czechs, so be it, at least they weren't Brits. I also think that without his silly "Peace in our time" statement, no one would think Munich was that foolish, since it gave England another year to prepare for war, which they began to do in a hurry immediately after. Looking through the prism of Vietnam, Korea and WWII, the First World War doesn't seem that horrifying, but at the time, that much death was extremely traumatic. Expanding on that, the French were determined that they weren't going to have such devastation visited upon French soil again, and were convinced that the rules of WWI would continue indefinitely. Believing the Ardennes to be impenetrable to vehicle traffic (they neglected to mention that to Guderian) they built the Maginot Line, a monument to the supremacy of the defense. There were something like 8 divisions assigned to a direct assault on that (you need to fix the enemy before you can roll around the flank, so the German attack in May 1940 included this operation while the Panzer divisions bypassed the fortifications) and the Maginot Line was actually extremely difficult to get through. Since most of the combat power simply drove around it, tactical decisions rendered them superfluous.

Mr. Sasson, Ypres, 191* Have you read GJ Meyers book, A World Undone. Rather well done, IMO. To put things into perspective, at the Battle of Bellveau Woods, the Marines lost 4000 men in one afternoon.
I worked with a French audio engineer who always made us laugh with his revisionist history about who crossed which direction over the Maginot Line. He remains in total denial. Vichy France of WWII is more understandable through WWI. Also, the Brits lost like one-third of the men from that generation. The shortage of men, some say, led to the outrageous Flappers and the Roaring Twenties; (Desperate times call for desperate measures) WWI was unique. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_I The direct consequences of World War I brought many old regimes crashing to the ground, and ultimately, would lead to the end of 300 years of European hegemony in the world. No other war had changed the map of Europe so dramatically—four empires disappeared: the German, Austro-Hungarian, Ottoman and the Russian. Four defunct dynasties, the Hohenzollerns, the Habsburg, Romanovs and the Ottomans together with all their ancillary aristocracies, all fell during the war. France was badly damaged, with 1.4 million soldiers dead, not counting other casualties. In addition, a major influenza epidemic that started in Western Europe in the latter months of the war killed millions of people in Europe and then spread elsewhere around the world. Overall the influenza epidemic killed 30 million people. Have you seen "FlyBoys"? Great WWI flick. They had no parachutes!

Speaking of moving words from a Canadian...(Oh, he's an American flying for Canada - I didn't know that)
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
Of sun-split clouds, — and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of — wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there,
I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air. . . .
I've topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace
Where never lark, or ever eagle flew —
And, while with silent, lifting mind I've trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.
