Merry Christmas, John (and Dr. McCullough)!

Thank you for being such a polymath that you are able to bring broader perspective to just about any major topic of interest.

Merry Christmas to my heroes, John, Dr. McCullough and Nicholas Hurscher.

John, please allow me to share with you, and your readers, the African Mythology (to understand it you need to understand the sign/symbolic language used to explain the Laws of the Nature as seen by the Africans of the time) used to recreate the European Christianity. It seems that the current Christmas date and Christmas tree stories were based on the African Mythology and Eschatology. The 5 days between 25 of December and the first day of the new year were a great occasion for celebration in Ancient pre-colonial North-East Africa: http://www.egyptianmyths.net/mythisis.htm

To understand that one cannot, honestly, separate and hide the connection between the original mythological Sacred Family of Ancient Africa and the current European Christmas and Sacred Family, you may want to read: https://www.theosophy.world/sites/default/files/ebooks/AncientEgyptTheLightOfTheWorld_GMassey.pdf

If you want to expand your knowledge on this issue, you can even contemplate the Ancient African mythological mother - Isis - carrying her mythological baby Heru (Horus): https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/545961. Even before Isis and Heru, existed the mythological representation to symbolize the first mythological mother Nut carrying her first mythological son Osiris, whose birth had sent many signs and wonders that were seen and heard throughout the world, including the voice which came from the holiest shrine in the temple at Thebes on the Nile, speaking to a man asking him to announce to all people that Osiris, the good and mighty king, was born to bring joy to all the earth.

Ancient Africans took motherhood, childhood and pregnancy extremely serious: https://www.historyandmyths.com/2025/05/motherhood-childhood-pregnancy-birth-ancient-egypt.html.

One could compare the mythological Nut and Isis carrying their mythological babies with the so-called historical Mary carring her so-called historical baby Iesu (Jesus): https://thebyzantinelife.com/our-lady-of-perpetual-help/.

Much before the «historical» European Christmas, in the African mythology important people attended on the Divine Child and assisted him.

I understand that there has been a lot of efforts made to reinvent and recreate stories in a bid to separate (for irrational ridiculous reasons) the one people and the one human race create by the only one God. The fact that we now look diferent has only to do with geographical adaptation for our own survival, when we managed to leave Africa and settle somewhere else on this planet. Whether we like it or not, we are one people of God.

What some ignorant or dishonet people still try to impose as the 10 Commandments given by God to Moses, was obvious part of the 42 principles of Maat, in use at the very Palace where we´re told Moses was raised: https://philarchive.org/archive/AYOTLD

Humans have been on this planet for millions of years, most of which was in Africa, and most of what we do today has just been recycled from the original African versions: https://www.egypttoursportal.com/en-us/blog/ancient-egyptian-civilization/ancient-egyptian-priests/

Wishing you and Dr McCullough and your families a Merry Christmas and much good to look forward to in 2026. Thank you for the year long gifts of your substacks, books, podcasts, media appearances and much more. They are grounding for many of us and much appreciated! Cheers!

Whats Going On With Substack

Well, something IS going on with Sub stack It is like some ugly monster is breaking the surface of dark waters to show it’s ugly teeth that will be used to bite us just when we are ripe for it and least expecting it.

Several years ago [some of] the people I followed were jumping on to Sub stack like it was the last life boat of the Titanic. Glen Greenwald and James O’keef had just been attacked by organizations that they themselves had founded. Reiner Fuellmich was arrested [virtually Shanghaied] in Mexico and extradited to Germany. All these people's organizations had obviously been infiltrated by traitors from within. After two years detention Fuellmich was sentenced to more than three additional years for the Trumped-up charge of embezzlement of his own funds.

But my point is that important people to the cause of anti-censorship are being attacked by people and organizations they love and trust. Do you love and trust Substack to not put a Cyber hit out on you? Maybe we should all take a long and hard look that that? The only hope we have to escape is that the AI bots don't have enough bandwidth to process 8 billion people enough to take us out before we are able to discover their tools and stop them. Thousands of people are being, with stealth de-platformed and de-banked as you read these words.

I myself, with what little energy and time, I could muster did a little investigating when it first burst upon the scene, and discovered that Substack has questionable financial backing, some of the very people and organizations who, with Soros money are the ones who have been from behind the scenes championing censorship . My conclusions, if you take a close look at the backers of Substack it has all the indicators of a trap designed to build a list of followers who are rightly pushing back against censorship.

To me we are just beginning to see a harbinger of an AI driven machine that will sort out who will be [Cyber] targeted and attacked, not just the authors, but the followers who have commented thus building a self generated dossier that will provide the ammunition to destroy anyone and everyone that dares to speak out to oppose and call out the the slightest comment or remark that might be interpreted as censorship.

So who can you trust? The only clear answer is no one you don’t know personally because no one has the time or energy or capability to fully vet every source of on line information to find out who they will deem naughty and who is nice because we are doubtless in an information censorship war with some of the most powerful people on earth who have the tools to destroy us with Cyber tools like de-banking.

Yes, I have a distinct feeling that the Substack trap has been sprung as I write. With every word we write now on any of the platforms that demonstrates we still have the cognitive presence of mind to see and understand how the various platforms can be used to catch us in their trap, then we will be flagged by the AI bots as a threat to them and their dastardly plan for mankind.

Very convincing thought pattern.

Michael Jenkins's avatar

Read on. Below my additional comments to earl.

earl's avatar

Certainly a possibility. Do you see any evidence? I can't recall the specifics and I'm fuzzy on details, but I do remember about a year ago, Robert Malone was being harassed by substack's payment processor to disclose private and unnecessary information.

Michael Jenkins's avatar

These creatures are usually too clever to leave tangible evidence, but some patterns are easy for me to see, and any effective trap involves bait and switch tactics all strategically planned and war-gamed out, again using AI. Yeah, Malone is an interesting case, probably too smart for their tricks. Five years ago, he was on my radar for answers to questions about what was in the shots, but he never revealed anything I wanted to know. What I know now is that the shots were probably never about mRNA [Malone's field] but about getting enough metal [of all sorts] into our bodies to turn us all into human resonators [antennas] probably somewhere in the10 Ghz neighborhood where pulsed RADAR operates [EMF, an area where I have some knowledge]. They hide it by giving it interesting names in their literature like Quantum Dots and Smart Dust, but I believe it is absolutely real when you couple this gruesome weapon with the satellite location device we all faithfully carry around masquerading as a Phone. There is plenty of evidence for the use of DEWS [Directed Energy Weapons] too, everything from 9/11 to the Los Angeles fires but some people are still trying to connect the dots to what happened to people who "died suddenly" during the intentional random murders of 2021 and 2022.

Substack and thousands of other "Power Structures" was created specifically to be part of the mechanism for culling the population of the planet.

Stephen Due's avatar

Over Christmas and New Year I'm reading Gibbon's Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire - a product of the Enlightenment and therefore of scepticism. In it are chronicled all the vices - and occasionally the virtues - of life in a vast and powerful empire. The accumulation of government power, even in the hands of an avowedly Christian ruler, can be dangerously reassuring to the humble citizen. Not that 'all power corrupts' (as in the famous saying of modern times) but rather that power provides the force by which corruption can proceed to act. Substack is a power structure like many other global publishing enterprises. Beware.

I just can´t believe we still have such an ignorant human being like you, my friend. It is shocking! With all the independent scientific knowledge available, you still don´t know that our Creator made us millions of years ago? People like you, with that kind of mentality, have tried to censor this great study by a remarkable medical scientist, Dr. Alice Roberts, PhD. Come on man, you cannot be serious, are you? Man, that sort of comment diminishes the quality of this Substack. Please keep that sort of ignorance to yourself: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00kfqps
