A Christmas Message 2021
How long are you going to wait before you demand the best from yourself?
Christmas is nearly upon us and the end of the year is nigh. A time for us to remember a special child born in a stable, under a guiding star, and destined to be sacrificed for our collective sins. He defied science with miracles, preached how lives should be lived and gained dedicated followers – until a certain individual had the opportunity to make some money.
Sound familiar? Of course it does, for we have many false prophets today using the same template of divinity. A good 'con' never goes out of fashion. George Floyd was born in a modern version of a stable, we call it the ghetto. His guiding star shone brightly, unfortunately, it only illuminated the colour of his skin, for that was all that was important about him. And on the 25th May 2020, he was martyred and elevated to sainthood to save us all from our collective past sins.
This troubled man cannot be blamed for what took place in his name, he was just the latest pawn in a race-grift. The death of another black man, used by black lesbians to promote a Marxist agenda to benefit black women and black queers. BLM was never designed to help individuals who looked like George.
A false prophet falsely claims the gift of prophecy or divine inspiration, or makes such claims for evil ends. We have many in our society presently, ranging from race-baiters to environmental alarmists.
"Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves." - Bible, Matthew 7:15
A false prophet can make a lot of money in a capitalist society, even the ones that proclaim to be socialists or communists. Jeremy Corbyn is said to be worth £3 million and Diane Abbot is reported also to be worth millions. Robin DiAngelo, the author of 'White Fragility' is reported to be worth up to $5 million. And who can forget the self proscribed Marxist and BLM co-founder Patrisse Cullors with her $3 million property portfolio.
The above did not steal their wealth, they earned it by selling lies, conflict and a dream of utopia. A fool and his money are soon parted.
We are all susceptible to false prophets for they tell us what we want to hear, what makes us feel good or special. The trick is to wrap it all up in a simple message so no intellectual thought is needed and thus can be accepted as fact. Black Lives Matter. Climate Emergency. Trans-women are women.
We are genetically programmed to be religious and seek a higher power. It may have survival benefits by bringing the tribe together under one shared ideology. These genes were passed down over millennia. It probably began as an extension of the praise, admiration and deference given to the tribal leader. The protector and master of the group - over time this morphed into a belief in deities.
How do we tell apart false prophets from the real ones? The simple answer is we cannot. Even if we possessed such insight, it would do us no good for people change over time. We all know that power corrupts for we are weak and fall prey to our egos.
My advice, for what it is worth, is to not take a gamble on any prophet for the odds are stacked against you. The most sensible bet you can place is to gamble on yourself. Be your own prophet, be the 'Lord upon high' of your own destiny.
The 'game of life' is a marathon, not a sprint. The only constant in your life will always be you, the sooner you appreciate this the quicker your future will improve. Taking personal responsibility for your life can be scary for you are pathetic, weak and stupid – but so is everyone else. You are not alone in being less than you should be. The good news is when you realise - you are then in a position to do something positive about it.
Look internally and see what needs to change to bring forth the ‘better’ you. Look externally and see what you wish to achieve in your life. You now have a life plan! Someone this insightful and self-aware is worthy to take the lead. Be your own prophet and ultimately, your own saviour. For if your life strategy is to wait around for someone else then you will be waiting a long time in disappointment.
You will of course make mistakes along the way and the blame will rightly fall upon your shoulders. But every mistake made is a learning opportunity to improve who you are and what you do. Mistakes are unavoidable in life for we are human, the lesson is not to make the same mistake twice.
Be all you can be. You are stronger and more formidable than you imagine. If this is too much of an ask, then aim to be a slightly better version of yourself than you were yesterday. Small steps forward are better than no movement at all.
This Christmas give yourself the present of rebirth. Allow the old you to be transformed during this festive period. A resurrection. The rest of your life starts tomorrow – embrace it, own it, live it.
Merry Christmas.
Nick, I'm presuming that this article is the one that ruffled feathers last year? You have written what most people are even afraid to think, bravo. I also love the gamble on yourself, it is incredibly empowering to know that we are the creators of our own lives, even if it goes to rat shit. It's hard work looking for people to blame! I look forward to your articles so thank you and have a blessed Christmas and 2022. Sandra
Happy Christmas Nick, am enjoying your writing ... you are good at it! I'd like to ask you a question: recently in your article on Queers you introduced me to the very important (imo) word 'paraphilia' denoting sexual deviancy. I have been researching globalism/communism/tyranny full-time for about 6 years now (after being red-pilled by the MSM reaction to Trump) and have come to the startling conclusion that the phenomenon underpinning all this ghastliness is basically paraphilia. These evil, lying, authoritarian lunatics essentially seek absolute power not for the benefit of all, but in order to re-mould society such that it condones and even advocates for their particular perversion(s), e.g. sadism, paedophilia, shagging dogs or whatever. Jimmy Savile was allegedly into necrophilia, so there's another paraphile. This stuff seems to be at the core of our problems, probably exacerbated by drug use, porn, etc. I found myself wondering today whether the CIA 'farm' in the US actually churns out paraphiles, there seems to be so many in positions of authority across The West! I would be interested in your views re this. I do believe we 'soft power' Brits are likely playing a bigger role than most understand (see the writings of e.g. Richard Poe). Maybe the root problem is our private boarding school system churning out privileged pervs, who knows. Anyway, here's to 2022, looks like it might be ... interesting.
