a) A European Christmas Carol. The carols, the Nativity displays, the special services—all of it is a reminder of the Story that still has the power to transform….
b) France: now without a budget for the year ahead. In Paris, each and every government attempt to reach a budget agreement has failed miserably.
c) The Algerian Parliament unanimously adopted a law criminalizing French colonization and demanding “official apologies” and reparations….
d) The Senate has adopted a 5% “riot tax” on insurance contracts, similar to those levied for natural disasters and terrorism. This is the Senate’s Christmas gift to the French: a 5% premium on insurance policies to cover damage caused by urban riots and demonstrations that turn violent….

Merry Christmas to all; as we celebrate His birth, may you receive the blessings that only Jesus can give
My greetings I sent out were via JL card, that person’s website, email, on X or some other method. The immediate two at nourishing unherdables who always slip through this net (sounds sinister) are dear IYE on his sickbed … thoughts and prayers, plus of course Steve … two of our main drivers of this site.
This is deliberate … we do this for security reasons, so Merry Christmas, chaps, may the good Lord watch over you both.
But we have other chaps and chapesses too and some I contacted by the regular methods, though JL was playing up, even now … some though STILL fell through, including Lord T, Penseivat, Torquaymada, pete, Justin, Redacted, Tony F and still I may have overlooked some vital names.
Going to run this in the chronological order it came into this humble abode last evening and early morn now (0156).
Why? Because our connected series of sites have a mission of reportage with an antiWoke, “trad” slant to it … those are my standing orders. Why? Call it a voice in the soul, not unlike Joan of Arc centuries ago.
This year, after a particularly rough year as you know, most in the west are fatigued under the enemy barrage … I am fatigued … I could only think to repeat 2024’s programme and so I ran that Silent Night from a German town square before dropping into sleep but awoke at 0100 with that voice again saying … check your incoming.
What I have ready to go from last year is that post with the church bells around 0800, and two child-centric carols to follow last evening’s. However, there was a letter from downunder from the human I’ve known the longest on this planet:
Checked into X and immediately there was this:
She permitted … but then I saw other messages flooding X from every western nation … these are just examples of the dozens … not particularly in chronological:
Same carol, innit? Across the pond in godless NY. Then:
It reminded me of Zimmerman’s (Bob Dylan’s) words of 1965: “You don’t need a weatherman to see which way the wind blows …” Meaning society was about to charge down the road to hell, whilst thinking it was ascending to some sort of Fabian nirvana. By the way, the leader of the Weathermen was Bill Ayers, Obama’s guru and mentor … significant? Prescient!
What characterised them? Extreme marxism, violence, bombings, Baader Meinhof type satanism … which also gripped the US for 16 years under Obama … Obama’s first move was to send guns to Mexican cartels (Fast & Furious, see Katie Pavlich’s book). The Wiki entry on the Weather Underground (today’s Antifa, Gitler’s brownshirts) hardly mentions Ayers … golly me, I wonder how that oversight could have occurred. Oh, also by the way … have you seen the shape and colouring of Obama’s presidential library?
Notice any sort of trend here around the world this night, last night?
And at this point, may I draw your attention to the second post here for Christmas Day … around 0900, the one after the church bells themselves. Notice any trends?
Steve and Andy are also onto it:
“We used to sing it at my junior school before we broke off for Xmas Andy, in German, as it should be. This is hard to beat.. Carols from King’s 2016 | #1 “Once in Royal David’s City” | The Choir of King’s College, Cambridge”
JH: Steve, we’ll run it on the 26th, Boxing Day afternoon. Cunning plan for today is the church bells, two carols, then a burst of politics and film this afternoon, Wenceslas on Boxing Day morn, then the carols not posted so far in the afternoon. Loathe to run our usual reportage Christmas morn (though it’s up at NOWP).
Late Boxing Day will conclude this Christmas post series.
.o0o.
And now a word of caution. If you try to form a party, you must have a platform of planks … and the moment you specify those (said MMutR a long time ago), things start falling apart, as members disagree with this and that policy.
I’d say that that’s the same with this resurgence … already I’ve seen the Catholic Church try to direct all the enthusiasm into “The One True Church” under the Chicago Wokerati boss, whilst the Slavs and other easterners, whence the resurgence has come in 2025 … see the Orthodox church leap onto it … whilst I say, as I did in that post two days ago … keep it non-denominational for now.
I was glad to see the lack of Santa this year but all the same … my Melbourne ladyfriend did not go to the Carols by Candlelight for religious reasons … she is of the Wokerati, hug a windmill today … yet she was moved by it.
You see where this is going? It’s not carpe diem, this thing, much of it is anti-deathcult reaction in 2025, particularly against the caterwauling through speakers five times a day in cities across the west, the rapes, murders and mutilations.
I also mentioned that this new resurgence is spearheaded by Gen Zee … the sooner we all see the asset on our hands here, the better. But first … celebrating Christmas and Boxing Day, ok?
.o0o.
And now, chaps and chapesses, I’m for my second sleep at 0326 … see you around 0800 for Christmas … Steve’s and DAD’s will be just after Christmas lunch, with a few other polit posts.
(1730) Evening all … first half of my Christmas over … taking a break.

“No Agatha Christie story has ever been made into a better movie than this one. The movie has the altered ending from the book (which I’m told was changed by Christie for the stage version because let’s face it. The book’s ending would never *ever* work in a dramatized setting, film or stage) and the character of Tony Marston has become a Russian prince to accommodate the casting of Mischa Auer, but apart from that Christie’s book has been flawlessly translated right down to the last detail.
The look, the settings, the characters, all of it is just right. There are also some wonderfully comedic performances that veer into some delicious black comedy at times (my favorite being Louis Hayward’s bemused response to Roland Young’s bumbling deductions: “And then he takes the chopper and splits open his own cranium. Fact. I’d like to see you do that yourself.”) About the only casting flaw is June Duprez, who is woefully bland and dull as Vera Claythorne, the lead female character.”
I liked this review until the bit about June Duprez … she played the slightly dazed but not incompetent female protagonist and was excellent imho … and I really liked the ending.
Which was the best version of the story? Including the book? Frankly, this was the most atmospheric to my mind, loved the way they dressed, it had that 40s “niceness” to it, despite the macabre story … my vote’s for this one.
Ladies and gentlemen, there’ll now be a short hiatus until early evening. Enjoy.
