This item provides a much needed perspective on the current state
of affairs. The author uses the Frank Capra's classic movie "Its a
Wonderful Life" as his metaphor. Quote: "Frank Capra ended his movie on
an optimistic note. This makes sense, as the U.S. was just entering a
new High. There were bad people in the world, but the good people had
just defeated the bad people in a World War. Good people had the support
of God and his angels. Every time a bell rang, an angel got their
wings. Today, every time a bell rings, a Goldman Sachs banker gets a
bonus. The depressing truth is that Capra’s faith in Americans was
misplaced. Evil has won out over good. The men of wealth and taste have
stolen our souls and our faith."

BTW I watched the movie a few nights ago. One of the all time best
movies.... I try to watch it once every year.
This
item suggests that elite propagandist are manipulating the masses to buy
into their quest for control and an eventual one world government.
This piece is all about propaganda. Quote: "According to ancient legend
(or history – depending upon your theological perspective), the
original Tower of Babel represented the full manifestation of mankind’s
desire for harmonic unity on earth. The dream still lives, except
today, instead of materializing upon the plains of Shinar, it is
appearing in the public arena as well as entertainment venues all
throughout the Northern Hemisphere. The nations are being
psychologically conditioned for one world under power as the minds of the masses are massaged into accepting their downsizing and eventual demise;
while, simultaneously, being programmed to accept the supremacy of the
state; or, otherwise, trusting in corrupt institutions of dubious
probity. It is a new year and a time for new beginnings; a time for
resolutions. May the reader resolve to not be fooled."

This
item deals with the past and present failings of the fake promises of
progressivism. Quote: "In his exhaustive treatment of envy as a
motivator of social behavior, sociologist Helmut Schoeck comments on the
irony of progressivism: The actual point of departure for socialist –
and for left-wing progressive – generally is identical with that of
particularly envy-inhabited primitive peoples. What, for more than a
century, has made itself out to be a ‘progressive mental attitude’ is no
more than regression to a kind of childhood stage of human economic
thinking.” And, "F.A. Hayek elaborates on this in his The Fatal Conceit,
in which he argues that the socialist impulse is a natural one because
it conforms to the ancient structures of tribes and families, where
property is shared and the individual is less important than the group.
The error comes in applying the same model to large groups of unrelated
strangers, where the bonds that hold tribes together and enforce
accountability are almost wholly absent."

contents of this item are totally true is abundantly evident.
This
is a good thing Trump has done. Quote: "President Trump wants to bring
Merry Christmas back to the citizens of the United States, showing how
important the Christmas season should be. Christmas is the birthday of
Jesus Christ, and is celebrated throughout the world. The holiday has
been watered down over recent years, as political correctness took over
and made it difficult to wish anyone a Merry Christmas without getting
sneered at. Even for those who aren’t religious — the secular traditions
associated with the holiday have more than made it inclusive enough for
people of all faiths to appreciate. It is now safe to say Merry
Christmas in the United States once again."

This
item affirms that people are increasingly weary of the direction we are
going and affirmation that the emptiness that now fills so many aimless
souls seek fulfillment in something meaningful.

The
Hungarians support their Christian heritage. Oppose the secularization
of their European neighbors. Quote: "Viktor Orbán has used his annual
Christmas message to call on Europeans to protect their Christian
culture, and vowed Hungary will not “retreat behind concrete blocks” at
Christmas and watched its women and daughters “harassed in the New
Year’s Eve crowd” like its multicultural neighbours. “Christianity is
culture and civilization. We live in it. It is not about how many people
go to church or how many pray honestly. Culture is the reality of
everyday life… Christian culture defines our everyday morals,” wrote the
Fidesz leader, in an article published in Magyar Idők.
Orbán also took aim at the enemies of his ‘country first’ policies, who
say he cannot claim to be Christian if he will not support allowing
“millions from other continents to settle into Europe” in accordance
with the commandment to “love thy neighbour as thyself”."

Quote:
"As 2017 drew to an end, the media missed one of the biggest news
stories of the year: the persecution of Christians around the world.
According to a groundbreaking new report, “Persecuted and Forgotten? A Report on Christians Persecuted for Their Faith 2015-2017,”
published by the Catholic organization Aid to the Church in Need,
Christian persecution is growing worse in virtually every nation. The
report states Western governments “failed to offer Christians in
countries such as Iraq and Syria the emergency help they needed as
genocide got underway.” Had Christian relief organizations and other
institutions not stepped in to help, the report says, “the Christian
presence could already have disappeared in Iraq and other parts of the
Middle East.”

This
topic has appeared in past notes but this piece by Ben Stein says it
better.

Quote:
"House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes is blasting the
Department of Justice and the FBI for their “failure to fully produce”
documents related to the so-called “anti-Trump dossier,” saying, in a
letter obtained by Fox News, “at this point it seems the DOJ and FBI
need to be investigating themselves.” http://www.wnd.com/2017/12/doj-fbi-need-to-investigate-themselves/
