The Occult Origin of Christmas

The month of December pertains to capitalistic materialism relating to Christmas. Millions of people conjecture that Jesus was born on December 25th and that this date deserves a celebration by erecting a tree and giving gifts.

As the Christmas season is bearing down on the capitalistic west — stress levels are increasing, including personal debt into new levels.

The deluded ignorant majority accepts Christmas as a normal (Christian) holiday, however most people lack the comprehension concerning the historic deception and occult significance.

The Winter Solstice celebrations pertains to Sun Worshiping:

The Sun has been moving away from the Northern Hemisphere up until the Winter Solstice. The 3 day gap from the 21st and 25th of December no appended minutes to the Sunrise occur. On the 25th of December, the sunlight increases 14 seconds and the days start getting longer from 12/21 up until the Summer Solstice.

Thus, the predominate Sun worshiping celebration for the Winter Solstice occurred on December 25 or 3 days after. The number 3 is the foundational number for the occult.

The occult calendar is comprised of four periods of 13 weeks relating to the sun solstices and Equinox:

Winter Solstice Period extends 13 weeks — Minor sabbath

December 21 — Yule

December 21-22 — Winter Solstice/Yule. One of the Illuminati’s Human Sacrifice Nights

December 25th — Holy Roman Christmas

February 1 and 2 — Candlemas and Imbolg, a.k.a. Groundhog’s Day. One of the Illuminati’s Human Sacrifice Nights

February 14 — Valentine’s Day

Consider the pagan roots of our popular symbols of Christmas:

Christmas Tree – The sacred tree of the winter-god; Druids believed the spirit of their gods resided in the tree. Most ancient pagans knew the tree represented Nimrod reincarnated into Tammuz! Pagans also looked upon the tree as a phallic symbol.

Star – Pentalpha, the five-pointed star. The pentalpha is a powerful symbol of Satan, second only to the hexagram. The star is the sacred symbol of Nimrod, and has nothing whatsoever to do with Christianity.

Candles represent the sun-gods’ newly-born fire. Pagans the world over love and use candles in their rituals and ceremonies. Certain colors are also thought to represent specific powers. The extensive use of candles is usually a very good indication that the service is pagan, no matter what the outward trappings might be.

Mistletoe is the sacred plant of the Druids, symbolizing pagan blessings of fertility; thus, kissing under the mistletoe is the first step in the reproductive cycle! Witches also use the white berries in potions.

Wreaths are circular, and so they represent the female sexual organs. Wreaths are associated with fertility and the “circle of life”.

Santa Claus – Former Satanists have told me that “Santa” is an anagram for “Satan”. In the New Age, the god, “Sanat Kamura”, is most definitely an anagram for “Satan”. The mythical attributes and powers ascribed to Santa are eerily close to those possessed by Jesus Christ.

Reindeer are horned animals representing the “horned-god” or the “stag-god” of pagan religion! Santa’s traditional number of reindeer in his team is eight (8); in Satanic gematria, eight is the number of “new beginnings”, or the cycle of reincarnation. The Illuminati views the number “eight” as a symbol of their New World Order.

Elves are imp-like creatures who are Santa’s (Satan’s) little helpers. They are also demons.

Green and Red are the traditional colors of the season, as they are the traditional pagan colors of winter. Green is Satan’s favorite color, so it is appropriate it should be one of the traditional colors for Christmas; red is the color of human blood, Satan’s highest form of sacrifice – for this reason, Communism adopted red as it main color!

December 25 is known as the “nativity” of the sun. This date is the birthday of Tammuz, the son, the reincarnation of the sun god. Traditionally, December 21 is known as Yule. The Roman Catholic Church moved the celebration of Yule to December 25.

December 25 is also known to the Romans as “Saturnalia”, a time of deliberate debauchery. Drinking through repeated toasting – known as ‘wassail’ – was a key to the debauchery of this celebration. Fornication was symbolized by the mistletoe, and the entire event was finished with a Great Feast, the Christmas Dinner.

Even the name, “Christmas” is pagan! “Christi” meant “Christ”, while “Mas” meant Mass. Since all pagan Masses are commemorating “death”, the name, “Christmas” literally means the “death of Christ”. A deeper meaning lies in the mention of “Christ” without specifying Jesus. Thus, Antichrist is in view here; the pagans celebrate “Christmas” as a celebration of their coming Antichrist, who will deal a death blow to the Jesus Christ of Christianity.

Early American Christian Pilgrims refused to celebrate this day.

The next period begins with the Spring Equinox in March and extends to the most important 13 day stretch from April 19 through May 1.

John Brennan On CIA Torture Program: 'We Simply Failed'
Posted: 12/11/2014 3:35 pm EST Updated: 4 hours ago

LANGLEY, Va. -- In an unusual media address at CIA headquarters Thursday, CIA Director John Brennan conceded that his agency had been unprepared to operate the torture program it ran in the years following 9/11. But Brennan continued to defend the CIA against charges that the use of harsh interrogation techniques failed to produce valuable intelligence from terror suspects.

"We were not prepared. We had little experience housing detainees, and precious few of our officers were trained interrogators," Brennan said.

But he added: "Our reviews indicate that the detention and interrogation program produced useful intelligence that helped the United States thwart terror attack plans, capture terrorists, and save lives."

"Whatever your views are on EITs, our nation and in particular this agency did a lot of things right to keep this country strong and secure," Brennan said, referring to enhanced interrogation techniques, the agency's term for harsh tactics that would generally be considered torture.

Senate Intelligence Committee chair Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) said she was surprised at the agency’s self-reflective stance.

“CIA Director Brennan’s comments were not what I expected,” she said in a statement. “They showed that CIA leadership is prepared to prevent this from ever happening again -- which is all-important.”

Brennan's address came two days after the Senate Intelligence Committee released a damning report on the agency's Bush-era detention and interrogation program, which involved shipping suspected terrorists to overseas prisons, where they were subjected to torturous interrogations.

The 500-page Senate document provides explosive public revelations about the program, and portrays a rogue CIA intent on manipulating or evading nearly all of its oversight mechanisms. The report, which included gut-wrenching details about the treatment of detainees, has sparked intense national debate about the ethics and the efficacy of torture.

Brennan reiterated Thursday that the CIA agrees with several of the Senate committee’s charges, including that the agency mismanaged the program, that certain field officers went beyond the legal boundaries of interrogation techniques and that misinformation was occasionally provided to lawmakers and the White House.

But on a broad level, Brennan said, there was no malicious intent behind these abuses.

“The overwhelming majority of officers involved in the program at CIA carried out their responsibilities faithfully and in accordance with the legal and policy guidance they were provided,” he said. “In fact, some of these officers raised objections and concerns with the program and with its implementation, which is crucial to ensuring that the system works as it should and that we are able to adjust as needed.”

The agency director made clear that the spies disagreed with the intelligence panel about the effectiveness of torture. The Senate investigators unquestionably conclude that the use of the techniques -- which included sleep deprivation, near-drowning of detainees through waterboarding and shackling detainees to bars and ceilings -- did not produce valuable intelligence.

But Brennan put forth a fuzzier reality, saying that detainees subjected to these techniques did provide valuable information. Whether or not that was specifically due to the tactics, he said, is impossible to determine.

“We have not concluded that it was the use of EITs within that program that allowed us to obtain useful information from detainees subjected to them. The cause and effect relationship between the use of EITs and useful information subsequently provided by the detainee is, in my view, unknowable,” he said.

Brennan's more ambiguous stance was welcomed by Feinstein, who said it represented a departure from past agency claims.

“This is a welcome change from the CIA’s position in the past that information was obtained as a direct result of EITs,” she said. “I disagree that it is ‘unknowable’ whether information needed to stop terrorist attacks could be obtained from other sources. The report shows that such information in fact was obtained through other means, both traditional CIA human intelligence and from other agencies."

"Nonetheless, it is an important development that Director Brennan does not attribute counterterrorism successes to coercive interrogations," Feinstein added.

Although Brennan admitted that CIA officers in some instances used unauthorized techniques that he called "abhorrent," he stopped short of defining the gruesome abuses as torture, saying he'd leave that determination to others.

“I will leave to others to how they might want to label those activities,” he said of the misconduct. “But for me, it was something that is certainly regrettable.”

The spy chief conceded that many times, the agency's abuses and its failure to hold personnel accountable dented America's national credibility.

"We simply failed to live up to the standards that we set for ourselves and that the American people expect of us," Brennan said.

Feinstein, meanwhile, took to Twitter during the address to respond in real time to Brennan’s speech, offering counterpoints tagged with the tongue-in-cheek hashtag #ReadTheReport.

Huge California Storm Causes Power Outages, Delays Flights | By MARTHA MENDOZA and ELLEN KNICKMEYER
Posted: 12/11/2014 3:38 am EST Updated: 1 hour ago

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A powerful storm churned down the West Coast Thursday, bringing strong gales and much-needed rain and snow that caused widespread blackouts in Northern California and whiteouts in the Sierra Nevada.

The brunt of the storm hit the San Francisco Bay Area, flooding freeways, toppling trees and keeping thousands of people home from work and school.

"It's a big storm, as we expected, and it's headed south with very powerful winds and heavy rainfall," said National Weather Service meteorologist Will Pi.

Strong winds felled a tree in Oregon, killing a homeless man, 40-year-old Phillip Crosby, who was sleeping on a trail. A huge gust blew down an 80-foot fir at a Santa Cruz elementary school, pinning a 6th grader by the arm for 15 minutes until chain saws cut him free.

"Unexpected, very unexpected," said the head of Gateway Elementary, Zachary Roberts, who closed the school as the boy was treated and released from a hospital.

This "Pineapple Express" storm carried warm air and vast amounts of water in a powerful current stretching from Hawaii to the mainland and up into the mountains, where gusts up to 140 mph blew through passes, damaging homes in the Lake Tahoe area.

The current left San Francisco drenched but balmy, with 60-degree temperatures, about 5 degrees above average for this time of year.

Waves slammed onto waterfronts around the Bay area, ferries were bound to their docks, airplanes were grounded and many schools and businesses told people to stay home.

The gusts made motorists tightly grip their steering wheels on the Golden Gate Bridge, where managers created a buffer zone to prevent head-on collisions by swerving cars.

The iconic suspension bridge is engineered to swing in cross winds, so "the concern we have right now is more about vehicles," spokeswoman Priya David Clemens said.

Sonoma County authorities recommended that hundreds of people evacuate at least 300 homes in the lowest lying areas near the Russian River, which was expected to start overflowing overnight. Peak flooding in the towns of Guerneville and Monte Rio was anticipated by 10 a.m. Friday, forecasters said.

Authorities warned of minor flooding along the Sacramento River in Tehama County and Cache Creek in Yolo County.

Pacific Gas & Electric Co. crews worked to restore power to 110,000 people, down from 166,000 earlier Thursday, with the largest concentration of 7,400 customers in San Francisco, the utility said. The utility's online map showed lights out over thousands of square miles, from Humboldt near the Oregon border to Big Sur on the Central Coast.

There were multiple accidents on flooded roads, and several trees crunched cars. California's critical north-south Interstate 5 thruway was closed by flooding in the northern town of Weed.

"A lot of people took the day off," CalTrans spokesman Bob Haus said. "That's a good thing."

Disembarking from a ferry in San Francisco, Malcolm Oubre said some people were overreacting.

"I know it's a big storm supposedly, but they're treating it like it's a hurricane," he said.

Teenagers drove trucks through a flooded Safeway parking lot to make waves for kayakers in Healdsburg as grocery shoppers trudged through several feet of water to get supplies.

East Coast kids revel in snow days, but closures are rare on the West Coast, so Thursday's cancelled classes were a novelty in San Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley, Sonoma and Santa Cruz County.

Surfers welcomed big, choppy swells from the same high seas that sent towering sprays of water airborne along breakfronts in San Francisco and Monterey.

Ski resorts in the northern Sierra Nevada — where schools and roads were closed by whiteout conditions and power outages — were hoping for three feet of snow once it all settles.

Whilen rains were expected to continue through Friday evening across much of California, California's farmers would need more storms this size to even begin to recover from a record drought.

The storm was spreading into Southern California, areas that have suffered wildfires were preparing for mudslides.

Denise George, who sells boats in Marina Del Rey, worried mostly about the wind.

"We make sure the halyards are secure, the canvasses are fastened so nothing gets blown off or opened up, so yes we are battening down the hatches for sure."

Government Stays Open As Congress Advances Poison-Pill Spending Bill
Posted: 12/11/2014 9:40 pm EST Updated: 2 minutes ago

WASHINGTON -- At least Democrats will have eggnog to wash down the poison pills they swallowed on Thursday as the House narrowly passed a government funding bill that will let Congress go home early for Christmas.

The House barely passed the inelegantly named "cromnibus" appropriations bill after President Barack Obama and House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) were forced into an unlikely alliance against rebellions from both parties, primarily led by the "Elizabeth Warren wing" and House Democrats. The bill, which passed 219 to 206, with 57 Democrats and 67 Republicans opposed, will keep the government running after current funding expires at midnight.

Some Republicans didn't think the measure was conservative enough. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and most of her colleagues, meanwhile, were bitterly opposed to two attached riders that would whittle away at campaign finance rules and roll back provisions in the Dodd Frank Wall Street reform act designed to curb the risky trading at the heart of the 2008 financial crisis.

Pelosi nearly torpedoed the $1.1 trillion measure during a procedural vote Thursday morning, when all her members and 17 Republicans opposed a rule that set the terms of debate on the measure. A similar coalition balked later at final passage, forcing House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) to delay a final vote for hours.

Pelosi marshaled her caucus against the bill even after the White House urged support. The administration said the bill "provides certainty," even though it did not like the Wall Street gift.

White House spokesman John Earnest argued that the bill does more good than bad, and that it represented compromise for the GOP, which initially wanted to gut the Affordable Care Act and Obama's executive actions on immigration.

"This is the kind of compromise that the president's been seeking from Republicans for years now," Earnest said in an appearance on MSNBC.

Pelosi said she was "enormously disappointed" that the White House had given the omnibus bill its blessing. In a scathing speech on the House floor, she said she would not vote for the bill, focusing her criticism on the language that would weaken Dodd-Frank.

"This is ransom, this is blackmail," Pelosi said. "We don't get a bill unless Wall Street gets its taxpayer-funded coverage."

The controversial provision lets taxpayer-insured banks conduct the sort of derivatives trading that Dodd-Frank barred them from engaging in after the 2008 financial meltdown. Compliance has repeatedly been delayed, however, and was not set to kick in until next summer. The other provision that sparked Democrats' ire was a change to campaign finance rules that lets wealthy donors dramatically boost contributions to party committees.

To Democrats, it looked like the GOP had crafted a bill to let Wall Streeters rake in more cash with risky, taxpayer-backed trading, while at the same time clearing them to donate more money to their GOP benefactors.

"This is exquisitely reckless — a special provision for Wall Street in exchange for money from Wall Street," Rep. Peter Welch (D-Vt.) told HuffPost.

The battle was bitter enough that Pelosi issued a statement telling her caucus to stand tall, at the same time Boehner and Obama were scrambling for support.

"The Republicans don’t have enough votes to pass the CRomnibus," Pelosi wrote. "This increases our leverage to get two offensive provisions of the bill removed: the bank bailout and big money for campaigns provision."

But she also signaled her members could vote their consciences. "However you decide to vote in the end, I thank those who continue to give us leverage to improve the bill," she said.

The fact that the vote was so close was a significant surprise, since 70 Democrats had voted with Republicans to pass the same Dodd-Frank provision a year ago. And veteran Democratic lawmakers like Rep. Gerry Connolly (Va.) told reporters early on that they’d probably support the bill.

In the end, enough Democrats and Republicans relented. The Senate will now have to take up and pass the measure before midnight.

NASA recently discovered what appears to be a 'force field' over Earth, fueling the fire over whether our planet has been under spiritual and physical quarantine as many have suggested.

According to Daniel Baker, director of the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics, the electron barrier exists in the Van Allen belts, a pair of donut-shaped belts that ring the Earth teeming with protons and electrons.

The Earth’s magnetic field holds the belts in place, but the scientist says that the electrons in these belts – which travel at nearly the speed of light – are being blocked by some invisible force that reminded him of the kind of shields used in television series like Star Trek to stop alien energy weapons from vaporizing starships.

This newly found force field appears to be unrelated to the clouds of cold plasma that were discovered over earth in 2012, as mentioned by National Geographic.

Many have speculated that there have been no landings on the moon due to a combination of this quarantine along with the radiation found in the Van Allen Belt.

Numerous philosophers and spiritual teachers have spoken about the quarantine.

Michael Tsarion talks about the quarantine and its association to the moon in the Stargate and Quarantine chapter of his book, Atlantis, Alien Visitation and Genetic Manipulation:

"When the original pursuers of the “Serpent Brotherhood” destroyed the planet Tiamat, they made ready to leave this solar system and return to their own. They had to leave in a hurry, so as not to be hindered by the cosmic forces which would be unleashed throughout the solar system. Because of their haste, they did not have time to precisely scan the planet Earth, and so they did not locate their enemies hidden deep within the caverns and beneath the seas of pre-diluvian Earth.

"The masters of the Nephilim were relatively convinced that even if their enemies were on Earth they could not survive the paroxysms and furor that Tiamat’s obliteration would bring on. However, these unknown pursuers did not just leave our solar system without instigating precautionary measures. Before they made the journey back to their own planet, they established an etheric barrier around our planet that would be along the same orbit trajectory as the Moon’s around the Earth.

"This barrier still exists and is utterly impenetrable to the Atlantean progeny, because the technology by which it was erected was of an extremely advanced level. From that time onwards, the Moon would come to represent (in almost all cultures) arcane powers of protection and magic.

"This apotropaic barrier, often referred to as by native peoples as the “the great web in the sky,” was put there obviously to prevent the Atlanteans from ever leaving this place. The Earth was to be their tomb." 

Ashayana Deane believes the quarantine not only involves the veil of forgetfulness but also to disassociate ourselves from our divine spiritual heritage as being part of multidimensional universes of higher-conscious forms.

According to the Wes Penre papers, our planet has been under quarantine since the arrival of the Anunnaki:
