"The Christmas Truce of 1914"
A vitally important essay by Gary G. Kohls, MD
A couple of months ago I had dinner with my fellow author, Ed Dowd, and he made what I thought to be a very profound observation about our world.
The organizing principle of our state and financial system is war. In order to justify the constant expansion of the state and credit, our system always seeks to wage war against someone or something. It is a satanic system.
Yesterday I found myself contemplating Ed’s observation as I listened to an interview with British journalist Peter Hitchens on World War I, in which Hitchens observed that the so-called Great War was based entirely on lies propagated by the then ruling classes of Britain, the European Continent, and the United States.
Perhaps the worst part about it was that it was cheered by the leaders of the Catholic and Protestant churches in all of the warring powers. That Christian leaders passionately advocated young Christian men massacring each other by the millions was an extraordinary act of blindness, folly, and perhaps even demonic possession of the clergy.
This morning, while perusing the websites of some of my favorite essayists, I stumbled across this gem by Gary G. Kohls, MD. It is a poignant and vitally important piece. I can’t recommend it enough.
The Christmas Truce of 1914
The Folly of Irrational War-mongering and Other Unlearned Lessons from World War I
The author of the piece you shared, Dr. Gary Kohls, is the father of a dear friend, and she was very moved to see you had shared it, John. Gary was a regular columnist for "The Duluth Reader" for years—until they suddenly stopped publishing his work in early 2020 because he failed to fall in line with the COVID narrative. Here is it is from the original publication:

They did not even offer an explanation to Gary but simply blanked him as if he did not exist—yet another example of a physician/journalist being silenced. It shows that the message to suppress counternarrative truths went all the way down from the largest media outlets to little town papers like this one, all in perfect coordination globally.
Merry Christmas to everyone on this site.
