Howdy, everybody. This is CJ in December of 2025, wishing you and yours. A Merry Christmas. A frolic of Vinokton. A joya Noel. And a happy Hanukkah. Because despite what the neocons want you to believe, just because somebody is a critic of the Israeli government and the U.S. government's relationship with it and, you know, a critic overall of Zionism does not mean that person is an anti-Semite.

I actually have no problem with just regular Jewish Americans unless they happen to be crazy neocon propagandists or something like that.

And in that case, it's, you know, their political ideology rather than their ethnicity, culture, or religion that I have the problem with.

And if you're one of the minuscule number of people who participates in this, and if you are,

I'm guessing you probably are not a regular listener to my show, a crazy Kwanza. So I'm doing

something that I've done, maybe not every Christmas since I made it, but I've definitely done

multiple Christmases in the past, and I am reissuing for a limited time on all feeds, including

the public one. An episode I did, shoot, I can't remember offhand, I want to say somewhere

between eight and ten years ago on the Christmas truce during World War I, the first

Christmas of the war. And as you might be able to tell from the audio, I'm driving right now.

So this little intro is a silver bullet intro. So in a couple of minutes, I'll be turning it over to myself

back in whatever year it was, approximately eight to ten years ago, telling you that story.

But first, just a couple of quick announcements and housekeeping.

Firstly, I am running for the Christmas and end of the year season

a discount on membership to my Patreon for, you know, new signups. So if you want to have access

to hundreds and hundreds of hours of dangerous history that is not available to the general

public, now you can get a good discount for doing so. And there's lots of other benefits in addition to

that, depending, of course, on your level of support, including if you sign up at the highest

level that I currently offer, the Grand Master Scholar

Warrior level, you will be eligible to participate in the D.H.P. Book Club, which I have actually

been doing recently. And the next book, by the way, that we're reading and going to be discussing, and this will probably be

sometime in the first couple of weeks of January, I haven't scheduled the next book club
