The tradition of evergreen trees, mistletoe, wreaths, holly, and Santa Claus are all derived from the winter celebrations that had been occurring for hundreds, if not thousands, of years all across Northern Europe before the Christian missionaries came from the south and gave our ancestors a new twist on all of their winter traditions.




Hello, and welcome back to another edition of American Dissident Voices, the Internet radio program of the National Alliance. I'm your host and Chairman of the Alliance, Erich Gliebe.

Well, here we are in the middle of another holiday season, which some people equate -- for good reason -- with the shopping season. Things seem to be going along pretty well, at least according to the retailers. The day after Thanksgiving, as everyone knows, is the busiest shopping day of the year, and retailers fell all over themselves in trying to corral as much consumer activity as they could. Many stores offered "super-discount" prices and opened their doors well before 6 a.m.

Consumers responded. Despite the uncertain economy, the slow housing market, and $3-and-up per gallon gas prices, consumers spent big on the Friday after Thanksgiving and have continued to keep the retailers happy. Although pleased at the large initial spending spree, retailers were concerned that sales might drop for the rest of the season, but so far that hasn't proved to be the case. So to all shoppers out there from all retailers: Merry Christmas, and keep those dollars coming!

The holiday season has always had its share of cranks and complainers. The great British novelist Charles Dickens gave us the first one that most people have heard of: the infamous Ebenezer Scrooge, the grumpy moneygrubber-turned-soft-hearted-hero who is the protagonist in Dickens' classic tale, A Christmas Carol. In fact, so deeply is Dickens' novel ingrained in our culture that even people who have never read A Christmas Carol are apt to refer to a cranky or stubborn person as a "Scrooge" or to jokingly exclaim, "Bah, humbug!" to any idea that they don't agree with.

During my formative years, the biggest and most obnoxious Christmas season scrooges were the Jews, who couldn't help complaining about people always referring to the season as "the Christmas season." According to most Christians a few decades ago (and many still today), the season was supposed to be all about Jesus Christ's essentially magical virgin birth in a stable in Bethlehem. And the Jews hated the idea that a holiday season would have a name attached to it that was connected to a religion that they despised, even though historically they were largely responsible for its creation, although Christianity had many other influences, as I'll talk about in just a minute. But the great German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche said it most succinctly when he wrote about the Bible in his 1888 work The Antichrist: "Here we are among Jews; this is the first thing to be borne in mind if we are not to lose the thread of the matter."

But despite having spawned Christianity, the Jews -- predictably, shall we say? -- didn't like the attention being focused on anything that the masses associated with something that APPEARED to conflict with Judaism, even though it really doesn't. The anti-Semitic statements and behavior of many notable Christians over the last two thousand years -- for instance, the Protestant reformer Martin Luther -- have stuck in the collective memory of the masses and, as a result, the average person today has a clear divide in his mind, with "Judaism" on one side of that divide and "Christianity" on the other.

But to state the truth that Christianity is akin to Judaism is to acknowledge the roots of Christianity AND to state the obvious fact that all of the mainstream Christian churches today preach what is essentially "total compliance" with the Jewish plan for the destruction of the White race. There might be some resistance to the Jewish party line on marginal issues among more fundamentalist Christian sects -- the issue of homosexuality, for instance -- but everyone is in full agreement about racial mixing, importation of Asian children for adoption by White families, and about the "right" of non-Whites to live and work in the United States. Some Christians will get a little testy about requiring Pakistanis or Mexicans to acquire American citizenship before they have access to the fat of the country, but they have no fundamental problem with Pakistanis or Mexicans living here.

It is NOT my intention today to completely run down the Christian religion, but today's Christians should know that -- in spite of Jewish origins -- it hasn't always been the party line of the Christian churches to stampede down the path of White racial destruction. Quite to the contrary. Especially during the Middle Ages, when the White world was essentially synonymous with Christendom, the White warriors of the Christian West stood together against the non-White Muslim menace, first the Moors from Northern Africa and somewhat later the Turks from the East. It is only after decades of "softening" up by the Jewish media that Western Christianity has been completely emasculated, although the seeds of its destruction were sown into the very fabric of the religion that the Jew Saul of Tarsus exported to Gentiles among the slave and servant classes throughout the Roman world.

Anyway, the Jewish media have done their work and have now successfully changed the name from "Christmas season" to "holiday season" in the mind of the public. School kids have "holiday" concerts, not "Christmas" concerts, and it goes without saying that there are no Silent Nights or Little Towns of Bethlehem at such events. Those belong in the churches, demand the Jews, and I can't say that I disagree with them on that count. But for every song that mentions Santa Claus or Rudolf or Frosty the Snowman, there is one about Hanukkah and another about Kwanzaa. Seeing a group of children of every race and color (some of them mixtures of two races and colors) singing about snow and dreidels and Kwanzaa and Mexican holiday traditions must be a real treat for everyone, especially those White parents sitting in the audience, staring their country's future squarely in the face.

But the Jews aren't the only modern-day Scrooges. Plenty of Christians, particularly in the older generation, are up in arms about a "Christ-less Christmas." "Keep Christ in Christmas," these White Christians say, scowling even at the White race's contributions to the season -- with good reason, of course, since nearly all of them are ancient pagan traditions. (More on that in a minute.) In addition, while these folks have convinced themselves that they support racial mixing (for fear of spending eternity in Hell), they can't seem to get away from the fact that many of these wonderful and law-abiding non-Whites that they hypocritically claim to adore are far more concerned about their own people than about anything related to Jesus.

And then there's the commercialism of the holiday season. This fact drives most everybody crazy, but again particularly hard hit are the Christians who really believe that Jesus is the reason for the season. Maybe it started out that way, but it isn't that way in the Jew-managed White West of the 21st Century.

Or DID it start out that way? A popular religion of the Roman Empire, especially among the Roman Legions, was Mithraism, a good-versus-evil/light-versus-dark religion that came to Rome from Persia and whose ideas probably influenced the Jews as they constructed their religious ideas. Mithra was the "good" side's earthly representative, and he was born of (what else?) a virgin on (when else?) December 25.

Further north, our Scandinavian ancestors celebrated Yule at or near the winter solstice, which is the shortest day of the year, after which of course the days start to have longer daylight hours. The solstice is, in a sense, the low point of winter, and from that point on, our ancestors knew that the daylight would continue to gain on the darkness and that eventually spring would come, calling up new life from the earth. The tradition of evergreen trees, mistletoe, wreaths, holly, and Santa Claus are all derived from the winter celebrations that had been occurring for hundreds, if not thousands, of years all across Northern Europe before the Christian missionaries came from the south and gave our ancestors a new twist on all of their winter traditions.

So, much to the disappointment of hard-core Christians out there who care about the truth, Jesus was not originally the reason for the season. Winter festivals were common among all our White ancestors, from the Mithraic Roman soldiery to the Thor-worshipping Teutonic warriors, and Christianity simply changed the façade of the holiday. Much of the underlying substance still remained.

And that substance, I believe, remains today. Despite every effort made by the Jesus worshippers to make the winter holiday all about Jesus, and despite every effort made by the Jews to multiculturalize the holiday -- or perhaps we should say "de-White" the holiday -- there is still an underlying substance to the holiday season that goes beyond all this. More than Jesus, more than gifts, more than carols or eggnog, the substance of the holiday is still intact, and that substance consists of family and traditions.

The charm and draw of the holiday season, I believe, results from getting together with family and from doing all the things that families traditionally do to celebrate the season. In other words, for Christians for example, it isn't ABOUT the alleged birth of Jesus, it's ABOUT the fact that the family attends a certain Christmas Eve service every single year. The season isn't ABOUT the giving of gifts, it's ABOUT the fact that your family gathers around the tree and gives gifts every single year.

The list could go on and on. Mom always makes certain cookies that are available when the family is over at the house. The putting-up of the tree and the outside lights and the household decorations is done by the same family members in the same way every year. There is a certain order of operations for Christmas morning, as related to the stockings and the presents and the food. The meal on Christmas Day is always just about the same. No matter what arguments have come up over the last year, the women of the family put those tiffs aside and work together in the kitchen to prepare and clean up the meal, while the men sit on the couches and easy chairs and talk about inconsequentials. Maybe the family piles into the car and goes out looking at Christmas lights one evening during the season, or they watch a favorite holiday film -- Miracle on 34th Street, for instance, or It's a Wonderful Life.

My point is: Each family has its own traditions about the holiday season, and it is the DOING of traditions -- not WHICH particular traditions are done -- that is important. The holidays are a time for family and traditions.

And at the root of family and traditions is race. My conception of the holiday season is completely void of non-Whites, and I can't help but believe that there are millions of Whites all around the world who feel the same way, even if that truth hasn't yet dawned on them. For most of them, during the rest of the year and in every other aspect of their lives, perhaps non-Whites are in the picture as just one aspect of "the way things are."

South and East Asians in the technical workplace? They're used to that. Hispanics working in fast food joints and in other minimum-wage-paying jobs? They're used to that. Blacks wandering aimlessly around the streets and malls? Non-Whites of every flavor in their kids' schools? All of that, they have become accustomed to, largely due to the brainwashing effect of the Jewish media and partially due to our race's complacence and apathy over the last few centuries, which resulted in us allowing this atrocious racial situation to develop and grow.

But when it comes to the holiday season, I believe that most Whites still conceive of that part of their lives as essentially an all-White enterprise. Sure, the college football bowl games are now a regular staple of the holiday season -- and who but the most far-sighted racialist can imagine college or pro football without Blacks or, which takes even more imagination, college or pro basketball? -- but the non-sports aspects of the holiday season for the White race are still essentially all-White affairs.

If I ask you to imagine a wintry landscape and a group of children playing in the snow, is the first thing that pops into your head a bunch of hat- and mitten-clad Pakistanis, sledding down the slope, building snow forts, and having snowball fights? If I ask you to imagine a family, gathering around the tree and getting ready to open gifts from Santa and from each other, is the first thing that pops into your head a Chinese family or a family from the Middle East that happens now to live in the United States? If I ask you to imagine a bustling holiday household full of relatives, with snack trays of Christmas cookies, other sweets, nuts, and perhaps dried fruit sitting out on the kitchen counter, is the first thing that pops into your head an extended family of Blacks or Jews, sharing the holiday cheer? If I ask you to imagine a group of carolers, is the first thing that pops into your head a group of Latinos gathered outside your front door in boots and scarves, singing "Jolly Old Saint Nicolas" in Spanish?

My guess is that when I ask you to imagine all of those things above, your gut response involved White people filling those roles of the characters in those thought experiments. My guess is therefore that your basic paradigm about the essence of the holiday season is still an all-White paradigm. That is, your fundamental pattern of thought about the holiday season is all-White. And that is a beautiful and uplifting vision, and it's why the holidays are most people's favorite and most nostalgic time of year. Even though the external world has become dirty and clouded and multicultural to the core, our conception of what the holiday season IS has remained White.

And that's a very good sign. It suggests that there is yet still hope for our people to finally come to their senses about race. After all, if the all-White celebration of your holiday season is so comfortable, so natural, so "right," just think about what an all-White society and government -- like we in the National Alliance are aiming for -- would be like!

In an all-White, family holiday gathering, everyone -- old and young, male and female -- feels a part of the family and knows his or her role in it. Everyone understands one another, even if they don't always get along. Everyone understands and accepts "the way we do things," and all of that makes for a pleasant and refreshing holiday.

We want to create a White America in which every White person -- old and young, male and female -- feels a part of the society and knows his or her role in it. We want to create a White America in which every White person understands every other's basic understanding of life, even when they don't always get along. We want to create a White America in which every White understands and accepts "the way we do things," which will be according to our own bent and the inner vision that each White carries around with him in his race-soul.

So enjoy the holiday season with your loved ones. Savor the traditions that you celebrate from year to year. Relax in the comfortable atmosphere of family holiday gatherings.

And after all of that, imagine a similar level of comfort and familiarity throughout an entire all-White society, year-round. It won't be a paradise, of course, and there will always be plenty of work that HAS to be done and that will keep us busy but, you know, the holiday season comes with a lot of hard work, too -- shopping, decorating, baking, attending holiday functions of one sort or another -- and we still look forward to Christmas.

What would life be like if we could actually LOOK FORWARD to the things happening in our society? What if we could actually look forward to the actions taken by our government, since it would be a White government? What if we could actually look forward to seeing quality television, and movies without racially-destructive Jewish propaganda, since we would have a progressive White media? What if we could actually look forward to meeting the new people who moved in down the street, since anybody -- anywhere -- in our society would definitely be White?

It's something to think about as you find some time to reflect during this season. And then it's something for you to become a part of and to help us in the National Alliance create, as part of your New Year's resolutions.

I'm Erich Gliebe, and thanks for being with me again today.
