Here is a fascinating Twitter thread from ENoCH about the connection between George Washington crossing the Delaware in 1776 - and President Trump and the Alliance destroying the Deep State. Enjoy...

One hour before sunrise on December 26th, 1776, George Washington crossed the Delaware River, using DURHAM boats, in a surprise attack against the Hessian forces, in a major turning point of the Revolutionary War.

ENoCH tweet with painting of George Washington crossing the Delaware River - this picture has featured on Q posts.

'One hour before sunrise on December 26th 1776, George Washington crossed the Delaware River using DURHAM boats, in a surprise attack against the Hessian forces in a major turning point in the Revolutionary War. DURHAM BOATS!'

Who is the prosecutor working alongside Horowitz and Barr to destroy the Deep State? You've guessed it. John Durham.

Here are some comments below the post...

'Hessian...As in Barrack Hussein Obama.'

'Watch the water. Q'

'All military traffic has been unavailable on ADSB trackers all night. Several hours. This is NOT normal.'

'2019...Trump leads a surprise attack on Hussein's forces lead by a Durham probe...'

These are all great comments. There were two significant memes in the Twitter thread. One features the text 'We are the news. 1 out of 10 American citizens follow Q.' When you add the GLOBAL Q community to that figure, you have many millions of Q followers world wide. We ARE the news now.

There is another meme with these profound words from a Q post...

'We are at war...You are being provided the highest level of intel to ever be dropped publicly in the history of the world. Use it - Protect and comfort those around you.' Q

Finally, check out the picture on the banner head for the George@TheCollectiveQ Twitter page...

I believe that is JFK Junior in the front of the boat, paddle in hand, smile on his face. That is my opinion, and I am sticking to it! Many Anons are convinced that the Big Reveal of JFK Junior is very close now. This could be the 'shot that rings around the world', avenging his father's murder and waking up humanity in one amazing moment.

Where We Go One We Go All.

"Darnit, Scrooged Again!" By Dr. Dinar

Darnit, scrooged again!  by Dr. Dinar

Sure enough, looks like they scrooged us again.

Another year of wishes, hopes and dreams down the drain.

Here we sit on yet another Christmas Day, even broker than last year at this same time.

How could that have happened.

How could we have fallen for another 365 days of rumors, false hope and endless hype, none of which ever coming to fruition.

Are we really that stupid.

Or are they just that good.

How many times can we hear "You wouldn't believe all the good things that are going on below the strings... oops, I mean behind the scenes!" before we finally wise up and face reality.

The reality of this entirely too good to be true made for TV Hollywood hypefest being all just a wannabe Screenwriter's imagination once again running away with him.

Or them, depending on your viewpoint.

And by them I'm referring to the Team that was supposedly put in place oh so many years ago to keep all of Dinarland continually dazed and confused.

A team of Movie Magicians whose one and only task is to keep us guessing, always doubtful, and never knowing what's actually going on behind the curtain.

And if that is true, then I must say kudos to you, fine folks of Team Screenwriter.

You've obviously succeeded in creating so much confusion that I'm beginning to wonder if even the RV/GCR Committee members themselves have a clue as to where things stand.

Perhaps they've created such a mind-of-its-own monster that they've fallen under their own spell, not knowing which side is up.

What if they've lost complete control of this runaway train, eyes burning in a sea of smoke, leaving no one behind the wheel to neither steer the train nor bring it into the station.

Let alone anywhere close to on time.

Seriously, what is this, like year 35 of this whole "save the global economy, fix the financial fiasco, make everything all better again" campaign.

Maybe more, maybe less, it all gets quite fuzzy after a decade or so.

And why is it that these thoughts become much more prevalent this time of year.

Questions of why didn't it happen?

Who's holding this up?

Why the endless delays?

Have there actually been any delays?

Are they actually working on trying to get this thing done?

Who's going to play the next James Bond?

You know, real questions that deserve equally real answers.

Is it because the Holidays are such a huge marker around the world?

Doesn't matter how (or if) you celebrate anything at all, the holiday season is nearly impossible to ignore.

From the minute the last piece of turkey has vanished from the Rubberware tub o' leftovers, talk turns to the holiday season.

Every commercial, every billboard, every store begins the flashy flood of festivities.

In spite of all that, there has to be more to it.

Perhaps it's mostly because it signals the end of yet another year of life's journey having slipped through our grasp.

The passing of so much time.

Hopes dashed. Dreams unfulfilled.

Whatever the reason, it's difficult not to find this a time of deep reflection.

And it was in such a time of reflection that I stumbled upon the impetus for this message.

With things being the way they are these days, finances becoming overwhelmingly low and budgets continuing to tighten, the wife and I find we're spending more and more time at home on the couch.

Dinners out have been replaced by leftovers and meals that are made for quick & easy cleanups.

Same goes for TV. With cable rates being so high, what once was a seemingly endless line-up of a trillion or so channels has been relegated to the basic default package.

Lets just say that while there are shows to watch, one can only watch so many episodes of Everybody Loves Raymond before you've seen them all.

A hundred times over.

And you quickly realize that you hate Raymond and his so called perfect life.

And with heating bills so insanely high these days, the thermostat has been turned down.

Like, waayyyy down.

Like, to the point where you can't move because you're covered in 5 blankets and under all the weight, you simply can't move.

Down to the point where the fog from your breathe tends to fog up the tv screen.

Which isn't the end of the world since we can no longer afford batteries for the tv remote so every time we want to change the channel, one of us has to get up and do it manually.

Which leads to physical exertion which gets the blood flowin' which ups the body temp.

And while we're there, we wipe the screen off, both front and back, so perhaps it's a blessing in disguise.

Less channels, clean screens.

That's a win/win if I've ever seen one.

After all, one's screens can never be too clean.

Gotta remember to find the positive in every situation, despite how much digging one has to do to find it.

And it was on just such an occasion that I happened to glance over at the assortment of Holiday cards hanging on the wall.

Or should I say wooden post.

We used to receive so many of 'em that they covered the entire dining room wall. And then some.

But these past few years, the economy being what it is, the amount of cards has dwindled right along with it.

Down to the point where they barely cover the post at the end of the kitchen counter.

And to be honest, I never really paid that much attention to them.

After all, they were pretty much the same cards, from the same people.

Mostly family, a few friends, some randoms from work and such.

Never really changing much, other than the family updates about the kids growing older, job changes, pets multiplying, stuff like that.

But when there's only 5 or so cards hanging there, barely any distractions to speak of, it's kind of difficult not to notice them.

And as I perused the post, between fog laden breaths, I happened to notice one that was completely unfamiliar.

One that was out of the norm.

Was it the color, the size, the message. I wasn't sure.

Curiosity getting the better of me, I stood up from the couch, 5 blankets in tow, and waddled over to get a closer look.

As I studied its content I couldn't believe what I was seeing.

Could this possibly be real.

Naw, why would they send me a card.

What made me so special that they determined I was deserving of a Holiday notification.

Knowing my wife was in charge of hanging up the cards, I immediately went to her for intel.

Where did it come from?

When did it arrive?

Whose name was on the return address.

The questions came flyin' at her without hesitation but she was more than up to the task.

Turns out it originated from one of the larger Currency Dealers I'd bought dinar from in the past.

My wife admitted to being furious when she first saw the envelope, thinking I was still buying currency.

Hence her opening a letter addressed to me.

To which I quickly assured her that with all of the budget tightening we've been experiencing these past few years, that was anything but the case.

I'm sure it goes without saying that my wife is one of them.

Yes, one of those non-believer types that refuses to even acknowledge this entire endeavor.

Let alone allow herself to even remotely believe it's the real deal or that we're in any way close to the end of this journey.

We've pretty much reached an amicable agreement.

I don't bring up the whole RV/GCR thing.

And she doesn't file for divorce.

Like I said, amicable.

We've reached an understanding of what's in both our best interests.

And that's fine with me. I have no interest whatsoever in purchasing any more currency.

Matter of fact I've sold back quite a bit of currency through the years, all in the interest of survival.

After all, it won't do me nor my family any good if we don't make it to the finish line. Currency or not.

Soon after getting over the initial shock of seeing the card, I began to absorb the enormity of it.

Could this finally be the validity of the whole RV/GCR thing.

The biggest piece of this crazy puzzle.

But something was wrong.

The closer I looked, the more I began to realize that these people didn't appear to be real.

Almost as if they were some kind of puppets.

But I couldn't see any strings. How could that be.

Ahhhh... more Hollywood magification goin' on.

Which, the more I thought about it, actually made perfect sense.

How could they show their real faces in Dinarland, announcing their identities.

Exactly. They couldn't.

So that was all fine and dandy.

And then I saw it. The fine print.

Quickly grabbing my readers (after a decade in Dinarland, my eyes aren't anything close to what they used to be) so I could even begin to read it and sure enough, there it was.

All spelled out for me in red & white mini-text.

"We're really sorry we scrooged you and couldn't get this thing done but we promise this will be your last broke Christmas... we hope."

Say WHAT!?! I couldn't believe my eyes.

I must have said it out loud because the sigh coming from my wife, who was in another room, was anything but undeniable.

She probably didn't believe it any more than I did.

A card... from the RV/GCR Committee... addressed to me.

It's almost too good to be true.

Like I said... almost.

Kind of reminds me of the rumors constantly permeating throughout Dinarland.

But what if it's true.

What if this is the missing piece of the puzzle we've all been dreaming about for longer than we care to think about.

What if this is the validity, the signal that this thing is really real.

And that they truly are working on it behind the scenes.

And that just because we can't see any visible proof of it doesn't mean it's not happening on some level.

Somehow, for some strange reason, I felt better.

As if this so called validity, real or not, has helped to refresh the wind in my sails.

Which, with this time of the year being such a struggle for me, I could definitely use right about now.

And I have a feeling there are many others out there just like me, having serious doubts about this thing being real.

Let alone ever coming to fruition.

At this point we have no other choice than to continue to hang in there.

Nobody would know if we gave up, sold out, and walked away.

Therefore it only stands to reason that we'd be the only ones to lose out.

Is this card for real.

Honestly, I doubt we'll ever know for certain.

At the end of the day, the card itself doesn't really matter.

The only thing that does matter is your ability to hang in there.

To see this thing through 'til the end.

Which, hopefully, will be sooner than later.

From my family to yours, have a happy Holiday Season and let's pray that next year will be OUR year.

The year all of our lives change in ways we could only dream of.

Hang in there folks, it's almost over.

Kindly,

Dr. Dinar

When Massachusetts Banned Christmas

When Massachusetts Banned Christmas

Christopher Klein

Ebenezer Scrooge and the Grinch had nothing on the 17th-century Puritans, who actually banned the public celebration of Christmas in the Massachusetts Bay Colony for an entire generation.

The pious Puritans who sailed from England in 1630 to found the Massachusetts Bay Colony brought with them something that might seem surprising for a group of devout Christians—contempt for Christmas.

In a reversal of modern practices, the Puritans kept their shops and schools open and churches closed on Christmas, a holiday that some disparaged as “Foolstide.”

A Puritan governor disrupting Christmas celebrations.

After the Puritans in England overthrew King Charles I in 1647, among their first items of business after chopping off the monarch’s head was to ban Christmas. Parliament decreed that December 25 should instead be a day of “fasting and humiliation” for Englishmen to account for their sins.

The Puritans of New England eventually followed the lead of those in old England, and in 1659 the General Court of the Massachusetts Bay Colony made it a criminal offense to publicly celebrate the holiday and declared that “whosoever shall be found observing any such day as Christmas or the like, either by forbearing of labor, feasting, or any other way” was subject to a 5-shilling fine.

Why did the Puritans loathe Christmas? Stephen Nissenbaum, author of “The Battle for Christmas,” says it was partly because of theology and partly because of the rowdy celebrations that marked the holiday in the 1600s.

In their strict interpretation of the Bible, the Puritans noted that there was no scriptural basis for commemorating Christmas.

“The Puritans tried to run a society in which legislation would not violate anything that the Bible said, and nowhere in the Bible is there a mention of celebrating the Nativity,” Nissenbaum says. The Puritans noted that scriptures did not mention a season, let alone a single day, that marked the birth of Jesus.

Why Christmas is on December 25th

Why Christmas is on December 25th

December 10, 2014 by Erick Erickson

One of the most popular theories and commonly taught explanations for why Christmas is on Dec. 25th is because the early church placed Christian holidays at times of Roman celebration to co-opt the local pagan festivals.

Christians placed Christmas on Dec. 25th to co-opt Saturnalia, the mid-winter festival, or possibly the Festival of the Unconquered Sun — Sol Invictus. The theory went that Christians could get the heathen to convert by co-opting their own holidays.

There is one problem — it sounds more convincing than it is. These theories did not start growing until the 12th century and only became popular once comparative religion became trendy after the 18th century.

Going back to the earliest Christian church finds evidence that Christmas, though not initially celebrated, had starting being commemorated well before the Feast of the Unconquered Sun’s creation for entirely Christian reasons.

In Egypt, less than 300 years after Christ’s death, some Christians celebrated his birth in the spring. As the Biblical Archeology Society has noted, the earliest references to Christmas come at about 200 A.D., at a time Christians were not incorporating other religious traditions into their own.

By 300 A.D., many Christians were celebrating his birth around Dec. 25th. Within 100 years, Christmas was on the calendar record. Christians looked to December because the early church was far more interested in Jesus’s death. His death and resurrection is what matters to the Gospel, and that was the date the early church focused on.

“Around 200 A.D., Tertullian of Carthage reported the calculation that the 14th of Nisan in the year Jesus died was the equivalent to March 25 in the Roman calendar,” said Andrew McGowan last year at the Biblical Archaeology Society. That would be the day of Crucifixion. The math from there is rather simple. Nine months later would be Dec. 25. Early church history held as fact that the prophets and martyrs of the church were conceived on the day they died.

So if Christ died on March 25, it was also the anniversary of his conception.

Separately, and more directly from the Bible, Luke 1 tells us Zacharias, John the Baptist’s father, was in the priestly division of Abijah. Based on a calculation of this and the division of priest in the temple in 70 A.D. when the temple fell, a number of early Church historians presumed Zacharias would have been in the temple in early October. Later historians, however, speculate it would have been June.

The Gospel of Luke tells us when Zacharias left the temple, his wife conceived. “In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee named Nazaerth, to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David,” Luke 1:25-26 notes.

Six months after Zacharias left the temple would be March as Mary’s time of conception. Fast forward nine months and again we find ourselves in December.

Saturnalia  History.Com Editors

Updated: Aug 21, 2018  original: Dec 5, 2017

Saturnalia, held in mid-December, is an ancient Roman pagan festival honoring the agricultural god Saturn. Saturnalia celebrations are the source of many of the traditions we now associate with Christmas.

What Is Saturnalia?

Saturnalia, the most popular holiday on the ancient Roman calendar, derived from older farming-related rituals of midwinter and the winter solstice, especially the practice of offering gifts or sacrifices to the gods during the winter sowing season.

The pagan celebration of Saturn, the Roman god of agriculture and time, began as a single day, but by the late Republic (133-31 B.C.) it had expanded to a weeklong festival beginning December 17. (On the Julian calendar, which the Romans used at the time, the winter solstice fell on December 25.)

How The Romans Celebrated Saturnalia

During Saturnalia, work and business came to a halt. Schools and courts of law closed, and the normal social patterns were suspended.

People decorated their homes with wreaths and other greenery, and shed their traditional togas in favor of colorful clothes known as synthesis. Even slaves did not have to work during Saturnalia, but were allowed to participate in the festivities; in some cases, they sat at the head of the table while their masters served them.

Instead of working, Romans spent Saturnalia gambling, singing, playing music, feasting, socializing and giving each other gifts. Wax taper candles called cerei were common gifts during Saturnalia, to signify light returning after the solstice.

On the last day of Saturnalia celebrations, known as the Sigillaria, many Romans gave their friends and loved ones small terracotta figurines known as signillaria, which may have referred back to older celebrations involving human sacrifice.

Saturnalia was by far the jolliest Roman holiday; the Roman poet Catullus famously described it as “the best of times.” So riotous were the festivities that the Roman author Pliny reportedly built a soundproof room so that he could work during the raucous celebrations.

Temple Of Saturn And Other Saturnalia Customs

Constructed in the fourth century A.D. to replace an earlier temple, the Temple of Saturn in Rome served as the ceremonial center of later Saturnalia celebrations. On the first day of the festivities, a young pig would often be publicly sacrificed at the temple, which was located in the northwest corner of the Roman Forum.

The cult statue of Saturn in the temple traditionally had woolen bonds tied around his feet, but during Saturnalia these bonds were loosened to symbolize the god’s liberation.

In many Roman households, a mock king was chosen: the Saturnalicius princeps, or “leader of Saturnalia,” sometimes also called the “Lord of Misrule.”  Usually a lowlier member of the household, this figure was responsible for making mischief during the celebrations—insulting guests, wearing crazy clothing, chasing women and girls, etc.

The idea was that he ruled over chaos, rather than the normal Roman order. The common holiday custom of hiding coins or other small objects in cakes is one of many dating back to Saturnalia, as this was a method of choosing the mock king.

Is Christmas A Pagan Holiday?

Thanks to the Roman Empire’s conquests in Britain and the rest of Europe from the second century B.C. to the fourth century A.D.—and their suppression of older seasonal rites practiced by the Celts and other groups—today’s Western cultures derive many of their traditional celebrations of midwinter from Saturnalia.

The Christian holiday of Christmas, especially, owes many of its traditions to the ancient Roman festival, including the time of year Christmas is celebrated. The Bible does not give a date for Jesus’ birth; in fact, some theologians have concluded he was probably born in spring, as suggested by references to shepherds and sheep in the Nativity story.

Why is Christmas on December 25?

12 | 12 | 2019

The official purpose of Christmas is to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, whom the world's 2.4 billion Christians worship as the Son of God. The unofficial purpose is to spend time and exchange gifts with loved ones, preferably near a warm fireplace.

Based on the fact that Christmas (short for "Christ Mass") takes place on December 25, one might reasonably deduce that this is the date of Jesus' birth. The truth is a little more complicated

First of all, no one can say with any real certainty precisely when Jesus was actually born. (Some even think it took place in the spring!)

The timing is further complicated by the discrepancies between the Gregorian and Julian calendars, which is why Christmas isn't universally celebrated on December 25; January 6 is the preferred date for Armenian Apostolics (fun fact: Armenia was the first country to adopt Christianity as its state religion), while most Oriental and Eastern Orthodox churches observe it on January 7.

One of the most widely accepted theories involves the Winter Solstice, which in Ancient Rome took place on December 25. According to the fourth-century theologian Augustine of Hippo, Jesus chose to be born the shortest day of the year: "Hence it is that He was born on the day which is the shortest in our earthly reckoning and from which subsequent days begin to increase in length.

He, therefore, who bent low and lifted us up chose the shortest day, yet the one whence light begins to increase." This interpretation was later supported by Isaac Newton.

Another theory centers around the Annunciation, or the day that the Archangel Gabriel told Mary she would give birth to the Son of God, which is observed on March 25 — or exactly nine months before December 25.

Beyond the date, the actual year Jesus was born isn't agreed on either. There was no actual year 0, of course — remember that BC stands for "Before Christ" and AD means "anno Domini," or "in the year of our Lord" — and most scholars place his birth between the years 6 BC and 1 BC.

Whatever the case, Christmas taking place on December 25 is hardly a new phenomenon: Constantine, the first Christian Roman Emperor, decreed that it be held on that date in 336.

Why Is Christmas Celebrated on December 25?

Sarah Pruitt   Updated: Dec 3, 2019  Original: Dec 24, 2012

Most Christians today probably can’t imagine Christmas on any other day than December 25, but it wasn’t always that way. In fact, for the first three centuries of Christianity’s existence, Jesus Christ’s birth wasn’t celebrated at all.

The religion’s most significant holidays were Epiphany on January 6, which commemorated the arrival of the Magi after Jesus’ birth, and Easter, which celebrated Jesus’ resurrection. The first official mention of December 25 as a holiday honoring Jesus’ birthday appears in an early Roman calendar from 336 A.D.

But was Jesus really born on December 25 in the first place? Probably not. The Bible doesn’t mention his exact birthday, and the Nativity story contains conflicting clues. For instance, the presence of shepherds and their sheep suggest a spring birth.

When church officials settled on December 25 at the end of the third century, they likely wanted the date to coincide with existing pagan festivals honoring Saturn (the Roman god of agriculture) and Mithra (the Persian god of light). That way, it became easier to convince Rome’s pagan subjects to accept Christianity as the empire’s official religion

The celebration of Christmas spread throughout the Western world over the next several centuries, but many Christians continued to view Epiphany and Easter as more important.

Some, including the Puritans of colonial New England, even banned its observance because they viewed its traditions—the offering of gifts and decorating trees, for example—as linked to paganism.

In the early days of the United States, celebrating Christmas was considered a British custom and fell out of style following the American Revolution. It wasn’t until 1870 that Christmas became a federal holiday.

The True Origins Of Your Favorite Christmas Traditions

12 | 12 | 2019

It’s almost that time of year again when we travel from near and far to spend time with friends and family for the holidays. Even if you’re not a big fan of the Christmas season, you’re probably familiar with some of the more well-known traditions such as Christmas trees, yule logs, eggnog, and gift-giving.

But where did these traditions come from? Hold onto your hats because Christmas is one of many Christian holidays with an origin that’s going to surprise you.

Christmas trees

One of the most iconic symbols of the Christmas season is, of coure, the tree. Early Christians decided to “borrow” an ancient pagan holiday known as Saturnalia, and thus, they borrowed other symbols and incorporated them into Christian celebrations.

The classic Christmas tree is yet another item the Christians borrowed from pagan religions. In particular, the Romans were fond of fir trees during Saturnalia. And as Saturnalia gave way to Christmas, the fir tree continued to be used.

Christmas stockings

We don’t know about your house, but many people start their Christmas Day celebrations by opening their stockings for little gifts. This is one tradition that is firmly rooted in Christianity. There are competing origin stories for Christmas stockings — some of which are controversial.

But of them, the most popular include one that also serves as the origin story for a more secular Christmas symbol — Santa Claus. We won’t give that one away because Santa is also on this list. But the other story centers on a wealthy man and his daughters and their recent bad luck that left them poor. Naturally, the father was worried that his daughters wouldn’t be able to marry well.

As luck would have it, St. Nicholas passed through their town and tossed three big bags of gold coins down the man’s chimney — and those bags magically fit perfectly in the daughters’ stockings that were drying by the fireplace.

Santa Claus

While Santa Claus has some improbable qualities, he is based on a real man. If we go back in time to the third and fourth century, you’ll also find the origin story for a famous Catholic saint, Saint Nicholas. Incidentally, he has his own celebratory day, December 6.

But more importantly, the real Saint Nicholas was a Greek bishop who later became the Bishop of Myra (a town in Greece). The real Nicholas was nothing like the jolly plump Santa Claus that most of us imagine.

The real Saint Nicholas lived during a time when Christianity was still a bit of a fringe religion and when those who overtly practiced it could be persecuted. Because he defied the local laws against Christianity, Saint Nicholas was imprisoned until he (and other Christians) were freed by Constantine.

However, during his time as a bishop, he was known for his generosity and his defense of vulnerable groups. And that persona led to his sainthood as well as the fact that he is often considered the patron saint of nearly everyone.

Gift giving

It would seem like Christmas and gift-giving go together like peanut butter and jelly. But it turns out that of all the traditions we most closely associate with the holiday, exchanging gifts is a fairly modern invention. The next time you participate in a Secret Santa gift exchange, give Queen Victoria a shout out.

Prior to the mid-1800s, gift giving was considered a distraction from the real reason for the season — to celebrate Jesus Christ. But during Queen Victoria’s reign, she routinely gave gifts to her husband and children at Christmas. And the queen was so influential that her subjects also began to enjoy gift exchanges.

Mistletoe

What could be more romantic than stealing a smooch under a bit of mistletoe? This classic lover’s twist on Christmas has been brought to you by the Celtic Druids. Yes, again, here’s another Christmas tradition borrowed from pagan culture. The Druids valued mistletoe because it was a symbol of fertility.

No one really knows how mistletoe made the jump from a pagan to a Christmas symbol, but we do know that mistletoe was first popularized as a Christmas accent in English households during the 18th century.

Rare "Christmas Eclipse" will Illuminate Sky with a "Ring of Fire"

Rare ‘Christmas eclipse’ will illuminate sky with ‘ring of fire’

By Danielle Hopkins  Published 18 hours ago

LOS ANGELES - A partial annular solar eclipse will light up the sky with a “ring of fire” during the daytime in the Eastern Hemisphere on Thursday, Dec. 26.

An annular solar eclipse occurs when the moon is relatively small in the sky and passes directly across the sun, but fails to cover it entirely. As a result, a “ring of fire” is formed that shines around the silhouette of the dark moon, according to Space.com.

The natural phenomenon will be visible across parts of the Middle East and Asia including, Qatar, the UAE, Oman, southern India, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia and Guam.

The annular solar eclipse will last approximately for 3 minutes and 40 seconds and is the last eclipse of the year.

It is dangerous to look at an annular solar eclipse with the naked eye, and protective eye wear is strongly encouraged. 

The next annular solar eclipse that will be visible in the U.S. is set to occur on June 10, 2021.

Christmas Day Eclipse: How To Watch The ‘Ring of Fire’ Online, The Decade’s Final Solar Eclipse

Dec 23, 2019

Fancy watching a dramatic solar eclipse to round-off Christmas Day?

For sky-watchers, space fans and nature-lovers across the world, it’s two Christmases in one this year as a rare annular solar eclipse strikes the Middle East and Asia—and you can watch it all online.

What is an annular solar eclipse?

An annular solar eclipse occurs when a New Moon is furthest from the Earth on its elliptical orbit, and on Christmas Day it will appear about one percent smaller in the sky. It can’t fully eclipse the Sun, and instead observers see a “ring of fire” or “ring of light” around the Moon. It’s essentially a pretty partial solar eclipse, and at all times observers need to wear protective solar eclipse glasses. 

Where is the Christmas Day 'Ring of Fire' solar eclipse?

It’s happening along a path that’s 118 kilometres wide. It will be visible from Saudi Arabia—where the sun will rise as a “ring of fire”—Qatar, the UAE, Oman, southern India, northern Sri Lanka, the Indian Ocean, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, the Philippines and Guam, where the sun will set as a ring of fire. A partial solar eclipse will be visible across the Middle East, south-east Asia and Australia. 

When is the Christmas Day 'Ring of Fire' solar eclipse?

A partial solar eclipse officially begins at 2:29 a.m. Universal Co-ordinated Time (UTC), though the “action” begins at 3:43 a.m. UTC as the sun rises as an annular solar eclipse in Saudi Arabia (at 6:43 a.m. local time). That’s the key sight for eclipse-chasers, and that’s what you want to try to see online. The “ring of fire” will last for 2 minutes 50 seconds in Saudi Arabia, but after its appearance at sunrise it will appear as a ring of fire across the world for a few minutes across the next three and a half hours. 

That converts to these times (you can convert for your location here): 

New York: 10:43 p.m. EST on Christmas Day (December 25, 2019) through 2:01 a.m. on Boxing Day (December 26, 2019)

Los Angeles: 7:43 p.m. through 11:01 p.m. PST on Christmas Day (December 25, 2019) 

London: 3:43 a.m. through 7:01 a.m. GMT on Boxing Day (December 26, 2019)

Where to stream the Christmas Day 'Ring of Fire' solar eclipse?

Although NASA doesn’t appear to have plans to cover this annular solar eclipse, there are a few live feeds on YouTube you can follow. 

Slooh will have host live feeds from the Middle East, India, and Singapore beginning at 6:30 p.m. PST/9:30 p.m. EST/2:30 UTC 

It’s also worth checking-out Timeanddate.com’s live feed on YouTube.

Are there any annular solar eclipses in 2020? 

On June 21, 2020 a much deeper 99% annular solar eclipse—itself a very rare event—will see the Moon block the Sun for just over a minute (maximum). Visible from the Congo, Democratic Republic of Congo, South Sudan, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Yemen, Oman, Pakistan, India, Tibet, China, Taiwan and Guam, eclipse-chasers will likely head for the clear skies of Oman and the high altitudes of Tibet for that one.

Christmas 1881

Christmas 1881

Mot From TNT: 

Pa never had much compassion for the lazy or those who squandered their means and then never had enough for the necessities. But for those who were genuinely in need, his heart was as big as all outdoors. It was from him that I learned the greatest joy in life comes from giving, not from receiving.
 
It was Christmas Eve, 1881. I was fifteen years old and feeling like the world had caved in on me because there just hadn't been enough money to buy me the rifle that I'd wanted for Christmas.

We did the chores early that night for some reason. I just figured Pa wanted a little extra time so we could read in the Bible.

After supper was over I took my boots off and stretched out in front of the fireplace and waited for Pa to get down the old Bible. I was still feeling sorry for myself and, to be honest, I wasn't in much of a mood to read Scriptures. But Pa didn't get the Bible, instead he bundled up again and went outside.

I couldn't figure it out because we had already done all the chores. I didn't worry about it long though, I was too busy wallowing inself-pity.

Soon Pa came back in. It was a cold clear night out and there was ice in his beard. "Come on, Matt," he said. "Bundle up good, it's cold out tonight." I was really upset then. Not only wasn't I getting the rifle for
Christmas, now Pa was dragging me out in the cold, and for no earthly reason that I could see.

We'd already done all the chores, and I couldn't think of anything else that needed doing, especially not on a night like this. But I knew Pa was not very patient at one dragging one's feet when he'd told them
to do something, so I got up and put my boots back on and got my cap, coat, and mittens. Ma gave me a mysterious smile as I opened the door to leave the house. Something was up, but I didn't know what.
 
Outside, I became even more dismayed. There in front of the house was the work team, already hitched to the big sled. Whatever it was we were going to do wasn't going to be a short, quick, little job. I could tell. We never hitched up this sled unless we were going to haul a big load. Pa was already up on the seat, reins in hand. I reluctantly climbed up beside him. The cold was already biting at me. I wasn't happy.
 
When I was on, Pa pulled the sled around the house and stopped in front of the woodshed. He got off and I followed. "I think we'll put on the high sideboards," he said. "Here, help me." The high sideboards! It had been a bigger job than I wanted to do with just the low sideboards on, but whatever it was we were going to do would be a lot bigger with the high side boards on.
 
After we had exchanged the sideboards, Pa went into the woodshed and came out with an armload of wood - the wood I'd spent all summer hauling down from the mountain, and then all fall sawing into blocks and splitting. What was he doing?

Finally I said something. "Pa," I asked, "what are you doing?" "You been by the Widow Jensen's lately?" he asked. The Widow Jensen lived about two miles down the road. Her husband had died a year or so before and left her with three children, the oldest being eight. Sure, I'd been by, but so what?
 
Yeah," I said, "Why?"
 
"I rode by just today," Pa said. "Little Jakey was out digging around in the woodpile trying to find a few chips. They're out of wood, Matt." That was all he said and then he turned and went back into the woodshed for another armload of wood. I followed him. We loaded the sled so high that I began to wonder if the horses would be able to pull it.

Finally, Pa called a halt to our loading, then we went to the smoke house and Pa took down a big ham and a side of bacon. He handed them to me and told me to put them in the sled and wait. When he returned he was carrying a sack of flour over his right shoulder and a smaller sack of something in his left hand.

"What's in the little sack?" I asked. Shoes, they're out of shoes. Little Jakey just had gunny sacks wrapped around his feet when he was out in the woodpile this morning. I got the children a little candy too. It just wouldn't be Christmas without a little candy."
 
We rode the two miles to Widow Jensen's pretty much in silence. I tried to think through what Pa was doing. We didn't have much by worldly standards.

Of course, we did have a big woodpile, though most of what was left now was still in the form of logs that I would have to saw into blocks and split before we could use it.

We also had meat and flour, so we could spare that, but I knew we didn't have any money, so why was Pa buying them shoes and candy? Really, why was he doing any of this? Widow Jensen had closer
neighbors than us; it shouldn't have been our concern.
 
We came in from the blind side of the Jensen house and unloaded the wood as quietly as possible, then we took the meat and flour and shoes to the door.

We knocked. The door opened a crack and a timid voice said, "Who is it?" "Lucas Miles, Ma'am, and my son, Matt... could we come in for a bit?"
 
Widow Jensen opened the door and let us in. She had a blanket wrapped around her shoulders. The children were wrapped in another and were sitting in front of the fireplace by a very small fire that hardly gave off any heatat all. Widow Jensen fumbled with a match and finally lit the lamp.
 
"We brought you a few things, Ma'am," Pa said and set down the sack of flour. I put the meat on the table. Then Pa handed her the sack that had the shoes in it. She opened it hesitantly and took the shoes out, one pair at a time.

There was a pair for her and one for each of the children - sturdy shoes, the best... shoes that would last. I watched her carefully.

She bit her lower lip to keep it from trembling and then tears filled her eyes and started running down her cheeks. She looked up at Pa like she wanted to say something, but it wouldn't come out.

"We brought a load of wood too, Ma'am," Pa said. He turned to me and said, "Matt, go bring in enough to last awhile. Let's get that fire up to size and heat this place up."

I wasn't the same person when I went back out to bring in the wood. I had a big lump in my throat and as much as I hate to admit it, there were tears in my eyes too. In my mind I kept seeing those three kids huddled around the fireplace and their mother standing there with tears running down her cheeks with so much gratitude in her heart that she couldn't speak.

My heart swelled within me and a joy that I'd never known before,  filled my soul. I had given at Christmas many times before, but never when it had made so much difference. I could see we were literally saving the lives of these people.
 
I soon had the fire blazing and everyone's spirits soared. The kids started giggling when Pa handed them each a piece of candy and Widow Jensen looked on with a smile that probably hadn't crossed her face for a long time. She finally turned to us. "God bless you," she said. "I know the Lord has sent you. The children and I have been praying that he would send one of his angels to spare us."
 
In spite of myself, the lump returned to my throat and the tears welled up in my eyes again. I'd never thought of Pa in those exact terms before, but after Widow Jensen mentioned it, I could see that it was probably true. I was sure that a better man than Pa had never walked the earth.

 I started remembering all the times he had gone out of his way for Ma and me, and many others. The list seemed endless as I thought on it.
 
Pa insisted that everyone try on the shoes before we left. I was amazed when they all fit, and I wondered how he had known what sizes to get. Then I guessed that if he was on an errand for the Lord, that the Lord would make sure he got the right sizes.
 
Tears were running down Widow Jensen's face again when we stood up to leave. Pa took each of the kids in his big arms and gave them a hug. ... They clung to him and didn't want us to go. I could see that they missed their Pa, and I was glad that I still had mine.
 
At the door Pa turned to Widow Jensen and said, "The Mrs. wanted me to invite you and the children over for Christmas dinner tomorrow. The turkey will be more than the three of us can eat, and a man can get cantankerous if he has to eat turkey for too many meals. We'll be by to get you about eleven.

It'll be nice to have some little ones around again. Matt, here, hasn't been little for quite a spell." I was the youngest... my two brothers and two sisters had all married and had moved away.

Widow Jensen nodded and said, "Thank you, Brother Miles. I don't have to say, may the Lord bless you, I know for certain that He will."
 
Out on the sled I felt a warmth that came from deep within and I didn't even notice the cold. When we had gone a ways, Pa turned to me and said, "Matt, I want you to know something. Your Ma and me have been tucking a little money away here and there all year so we could buy that rifle for you, but we didn't have quite enough.

Then yesterday a man who owed me a little money from years back came by to make things square. Your Ma and me were real excited, thinking that now we could get you that rifle, and I started into town this morning to do just that, but on the way I saw little Jakey out scratching in the woodpile with his feet wrapped in those gunny sacks and I knew what I had to do. Son, I spent the money for shoes and a little candy for those children. I hope you understand."
 
I understood alright... and my eyes became wet with tears again. I understood very well, and I was so glad Pa had done it. Now the rifle seemed very low on my list of priorities. Pa had given me a lot more. He had given me the look on Widow Jensen's face and the radiant smiles of her three children.
 
For the rest of my life, whenever I saw any of the Jensens, or split a block of wood, I remembered, and remembering brought back that same joy I felt riding home beside Pa that night. Pa had given me much  more than a rifle that night, he had given me the best Christmas of my life.
 
Don't be too busy today... share this inspiring message. Merry Christmas
and God bless you!

Robert David Steele: "Debt Jubilee, Arrests, Free Energy and a Global Currency Reset"

Robert David Steele

Former CIA Spy Talks Debt Jubilee, Arrests, Free Energy, Global Currency Reset

Dec 15, 2019

In seven minutes, 14 things the President can do to make America great again while winning the Mother of All Landslides.

14 Things Donald Trump could do right now to win the mother of all landslides in 2020

1: Asset Backed Dollar and a Global Currency Reset. (I think this is going to happen possibly before Christmas)  Between 1 ½  and 3 Trillion cash infused into the US economy from the bottom up through thousands of agents who have been in gestation for years. I have been hearing rumblings of this from multiple sources including Ben Fulford and I think this is going to happen. Maybe before Christmas.

2: Sovereign Debt Jubilee.  I think he has already negotiated this and a deal has been cut with China, Russia and others. This will spill over in 2020 to the third world countries.

3: A student debt jubilee.  Our college system is a scam. To many students are carrying massive debts and many are still living at home. We need a total do-over and training for our next generation of middle class and blue collar workers.

4: Health revolution…We need to move back to natural health and environmental health plus personal health.

5: Arrests.  At least 100 of them .  The impeachment scam is because the evidence is about to come out that will put many of them in jail and shame many of them out of public office.  

6: Termination of Mossad, CIA, and FBI criminal operation across the United States. Jeffrey Epstein was the tip of the iceburg. The dirty little secret is the US is an occupied country with a faschist underbelly doing secret surveillance . It is preying on our public with impunity. It is also blackmailing our public officials at state, local and federal levels.

7. Redirection of the infrastructure initiative. The president could reinvent national security and cut our defense budget in half. That money would then be redirectable to America. I think this is critical.

8, we need to eliminate all the secrecy orders on patents …and I think the President is going to do this as soon as he gets re-elected.. That will bring out free energy and unlimited de-salinated water. I think he will also be disclosing the extra-terrestrial panarama. People need to know.

9: 75 % of all lands west of the Mississippi should be returned to the states. There is no reason for the Federal Government to own and control almost 90% of the land west of the Mississippi. There are a lot of deep underground military bases, test ranges and so forth. The bottom line is the land belongs to the people. The states are sovereign, and we need it given back.

10:  A Manhatten project for farmers focused on free and renewable energy while eliminating pesticides that kill everything and are causing mutations in human beings . with free energy you can do unlimited de-salinated water that refills the aquafer and  restored the desert.

11.  Termination of 5G and Geo-engineering. I believe the President is starting to do some of this.

12: Termination of the toxic vaccinations program. I would have a massive investigation into the criminal disease control mafia and the crimes of the pharmacuetical companies. Included in this is compensations for all victims of vaccines, pesticides, GMO foods and more.

13:  Mr. President- you said the system is rigged…why are you not unrigging it?  If he wants the mother of all landslides, all he has to do is introduce the Election Reform Act and give independants and libertarians a reason to vote for him .  We need a congress who makes evidence based decisions in the publics interest. .

16: We need to reinvent education and intelligence and research. It is absolutely insane for a 100 billion  dollar intelligence community that processes less that 1% of what it collects. Providing less than 4 % of what the President needs and nothing for anyone else. Education is in the toilet and all the research is for doing evil and not good. I want to stop all of this

I believe in America, I believe in each of you and I believe many good things are about to happen in America. God Bless each of you. God Bless America and God Bless the President of the United States.
