A Christmas Prayer
"If it's time for you to go, leave willingly, as you would to accomplish anything that can be done with grace and honor." — Marcus Aurelius
The longest and coldest night of the year is upon us with its portents of endings, the death of things, of people like ourselves, and also bodies of thought, movements of culture and politics. And for all the cold and darkness, you feel the stirrings of things waiting to be born. Christmas is the lovely distraction for a brief spell, and after that, the difficult labor of the nation commences for-real in the long night of the year.
This moment in the cold and dark is also the climax of the Great Pretending. You knew it would come to this for “Joe Biden,” that he would be found-out. That in the waning days of his woebegone term in office, the people around him in the White House would betray him with the truth: that he was mentally unfit for the job from even before the get-go, from those drear days in the fall campaign of 2020 when he hid himself at home in Delaware while the FBI covered-up the massive bribery-and-treason story concealed in Hunter’s laptop. And that for four years since then those people around “Joe Biden” have pretended to the world that he was doing his job, that he was okay, when he was absolutely not okay, as they well knew.

It was only one big lie among the thousands of lies put over by the conspiracy between that gang in the White House and the perfidious organs of the news, especially The New York Times. If you want to see how stupendously dishonest the employees of that newspaper are, read this “roundtable” column of several Times pundits attempting to chew over the state of their patron, the Democratic party. Forgive me for quoting myself in the comment I posted there a half hour ago:
You’re all quite remarkably clueless and dishonest. Your party is in ruins because your policies are intolerable and often insane: censorship, war, gender lunacy, flooding the country with illegal immigrants – no, not “undocumented” in your parlance, as if it was just some clerical error. And you: Democratic Party aligned journalists are even worse than the politicians, because you’re supposed to make an effort to determine the truth, and you deliberately gaslight the public instead. Shame on you and the Democratic Party. It’s that simple.
It’s hard to know for sure, but it looks an awful lot as though these journalists — in fact, the whole elite intelligentsia across America — are gaslighting themselves, still pretending that they didn’t know what went on, a coup against their own country. Everything they have been saying and publishing is the opposite of reality. And now it is about to all spill out because other people are about to take over the levers of power.
For instance: can the CDC and other agencies of public health continue to lie about disastrous Covid-19 vaccines, about the deaths and disabilities they have caused in millions of people? Under “Joe Biden,” there was no other way for the likes of Rochelle Walensky and Mandy Cohen except to lie. And get this: women were chosen to front for the CDC because you’re not supposed to believe that “Mommy” would lie to you, especially in matters of life and death. There was no other way because the crime was so great and they were all in it so deep — not just Rochelle and Mandy but the hundreds of high-ranking bureaucrats in CDC, FDA, and NIH who went along with all this.
Of course, it’s hard to know whether the Covid-19 affair was just a venal and insane project by Anthony Fauci and his colleagues to play “hero” while making a ton of money. . . or whether it was actually a deliberate effort by the Intel Blob to queer the 2020 election by forcing a change in the voting procedure that would allow for wholesale fraud, in the service of cancelling Donald Trump. Possibly, it was a mash-up of both.
The truth about all this, and a lot more, is going to come out, whether or not Bobby Kennedy, Kash Patel, and other nominees get confirmed in their jobs, because there are many other figures just as capable behind them who would be nominated and eventually confirmed to run these departments. Those New York Times journalists are gaslighting themselves further if they think that blocking a few nominations is going to save their reputations. This populist revolution is bigger than that. It’s about overturning a paradigm of lies.
We really don’t know if our country is too far gone. The wreckage accomplished under the fakery of “Joe Biden” is prodigious. The financial quandaries alone are enough to sink the Republic in penury, and it will be hard to dodge the truth about that, too, because individual citizens and households know when they are hurting. When they hurt enough, they move to action, visibly, loudly, and you will not miss it.
This ought to be a sobering Christmas then. This is the pause at the end of things when we might consider how important it is to tell ourselves the truth. Chew on that with the sugarplums of the season while we wait for that something that is busy being born.
Early this year, my friend Kathie Breault, a nurse-midwife, got in trouble with the law over the Covid-19 vaccines and treatments, and you readers helped her raise money for her legal defense. This is her note of thanks to you:
I'm grateful to Jim for sponsoring and sharing my GiveSendGo campaign on his blog. Jim was the person I ran to when the FBI left their calling card on my door — a terrifying experience.
It's Christmastime. I'm delighted to report that last week I was sentenced to three years’ probation for giving out vaccine cards without administering the shots — no jail time. This was good news because there were others convicted of similar crimes in the Eastern District of NY who were incarcerated for several months.
I initially pleaded not guilty. I admitted giving out the cards from the beginning, and my attorney was planning a civil disobedience / necessity defense. I'd been contacting and lining up experts who would testify for me and we planned to go to trial. After many months, and for a variety of reasons, my attorney and I decided it was wiser to accept a plea bargain. Had I gone to trial and lost, I would have faced significant jail time.
You were extremely generous — I received enough donations ($41,000+) to cover the fees of both of my attorneys. The ivermectin case is still not settled — I suspect that the NY State Office of Professional Discipline (OPD) was waiting to see what the outcome of the federal case was before they make a decision about my purported ivermectin misdeeds. Although it's just been a little over a week since I was sentenced, I've already heard from an OPD attorney regarding my nursing licenses: "Being convicted of a crime under federal law is considered professional misconduct under the Education Law." I will have to attend a hearing in the near future, and it's likely that I will lose my licenses to practice because of the "misconduct." I have an excellent attorney and I do have recourse, but retirement seems to be in the cards.
I wish I could thank each of you personally. Your generosity meant everything to me — it made a difficult, frightening situation much easier to bear. I had no idea how I'd raise the attorney fees and was afraid this would put a major dent in my retirement savings. I can't thank you enough.
Much love, Kathie
It’s that time of year! In this novella, a boy runs away from home in Manhattan all the way to Vermont the night before Christmas. Tribulations ensue. “A masterpiece of comedy and pathos.” Autographed copies from Battenkill Books, Cambridge, New York.
Also for Christmas: JHK’s novel set on a hippie commune, 1967-68. “What a beautiful tale of the 1960's! It brought back so many memories of the events and emotions of that long ago time in the context of a light and wonderful story!” Autographed copies from Battenkill Books, Cambridge, New York.
History works in odd ways, and I do believe we are living in historic times, not just in the U.S., but around the globe.
I am of the opinion that the Covid-19 lockdowns were in fact an orchestrated plan to queer the 2020 election, as you put it. It was in fact treasonous, because it involved the cooperation of a hostile foreign power that had just as much interest in canceling Trump as the blob did. It was done hand in glove with the Chinese Communist Party.
However, as I say, history works in odd ways. Assuming that the Covid-19 fakery in 2020 had failed, do you think that Trump's second term would have been any less bogged down in ginned up claims of Russian collusion and serial impeachments? In robbing Trump in 2020 and harassing him these past four years, the blob only gave him an opportunity to come back even stronger, with more experience and with a better team around him, not to mention the sympathy of many voters who would not have otherwise pulled the lever for him.
I'm sure that the geniuses that came up with the "fortified election" of 2020 are now deeply ruing their decision to go with that plan. They will rightly be held to account for that, and any number of other illegal and, yes, treasonous acts.
I think of all the fuckery laid on us the past 8+ years, the most tiring and aggravating aspect has been the constant lying and coverup. Truth seeking is our highest calling. To call a lie the truth repeatly causes us to expend endless energy to unmask it. It knocks us way off course from other pursuits.
