It's Christmas Eve, which means tomorrow is the 2,021st birthday of Jesus. It's also Friday, which means there is fresh batch of figures at the CDC's Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System, known as VAERS. Candace Owens couldn't seem to remember it when she didn't ask Donald Trump about it, but it is here where we find, for example, that 34,616 men, women and children worldwide have reported "permanent disabilities" from the bioweapon of choice in the the governmental war against what it means to be a human being. 

I refer, of course, to the forced genetic injection program, deceptively tagged the "covid vaccine," currently being inflicted by the governments of the world in coordinated attacks against their own citizens. A small fraction of "adverse events" (read: death and injury) linked to these covid shots (and actual vaccines) appear weekly at the US government's vaccine database. In addition to 34,616 permanent disabilities, the latest data-dump tells us that covid shots are also linked to 23,405 life-threatening illnesses and 20,623 deaths. 

Even as a fraction of the whole, the scale of this covid-"vaccine"-linked carnage is intolerable. It proves that these new and untested genetic products are highly toxic, even lethal, to tens of thousands of people, and, as a consequence, their distribution should be halted, immediately, everywhere, in the name of human health, also in the name of the law, and also, especially at Christmas, in the name of mercy.  

But these programs are not being halted. Covid inoculation is now an open-ended government-pharmaceutical-media-medical-security-state enterprise, with endless boosters to come, luring human guinea pigs by the millions into a global experiment in genetic re-engineering and "augmentation" en route to digital slavery. 

But it's Christmas Eve, and maybe there is a different way to think about such things. In these  quantified, searchable, collated and catalogued examples of human sufferin there exists hard evidence of the triumph of godlessness on earth. Systemized in political terms by what we think of as "communism," such godlessness manifests itself here in the merciless use of force by ruthless elites against masses of human beings in the false name (or "Big Lie") of some "collective" good.

But note: There is no "collective" good. "Collective good" is the sicky-smile stuck onto state coercion to cover up the nullification of our God-given, Constitution-protected rights as individuals. "Collective good" is what strips us right down down to hostage-status, leaving us exposed and defenseless against the depredations of the rogue state and its thugs, billy club or clipboard optional.  

I illustrated this post with one of the many beautiful paintings of the Adoration of the Magi. It turns out it was commissioned for, and still hangs in the museum of a hospital, Ospedale degli Innocenti -- a provenance that has a certain regrettable relevance to our extremely sick state. I chose it, though, due to its worldly setting, the visual references to political power and commerce or exploration, and the ongoing contemplation and discussion of the miraculous event by what appears to be a rather urbane, 15th-century kind of crowd. 

I'm not sure what it leaves us with as we turn the corner on Christmas toward the end of 2021. Contemplation and discussion, anyway, along with, let us all hope, renewal and inspiration to action ahead.
