From “false flag” attacks to man-made hurricanes, a look at the favorite talking points of the “most paranoid man in America”<br />

<div class="c-list__lead c-content">
<div align="justify">
Radio host Alex Jones has been spewing his conspiracy theories into
microphones for for over 20 years, ever since his community college days
when he first started accusing<a href="https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-news/meet-alex-jones-175845/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> the government of being involved in the Oklahoma City bombing</a> on public access channels in Austin, Texas. The self-described libertarian, who hosts <a href="http://www.infowars.com/watch-alex-jones-show/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Alex Jones Show</a> and operates the<a href="http://www.cnn.com/2017/01/27/politics/infowars-explainer/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> InfoWars website</a>,
has since ranted on a wide range of topics from New World Order plots
turning Americans into sheep, to the truth behind the NASA moon landing,
to terrorist attacks and mass shootings – including <a href="http://www.infowars.com/its-time-to-admit-the-911-truthers-were-right/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">9/11</a> and <a href="http://www.infowars.com/alex-jones-final-statement-on-sandy-hook/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Sandy Hook</a> – which he says are being covered up. <br />
While Jones currently has millions of followers, there’s one
particularly troubling person who seems to be buying his theories. On
December 2nd, 2015, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJqLAleEnKw&t=43s" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">President Donald Trump appeared on Jones’ show</a>,
praising the conspiracy-minded host. “Your reputation is amazing,” he
said from his desk in Trump Tower. “I will not let you down.” And so
far, he hasn’t. After the election in November, <a href="http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slatest/2016/11/14/donald_trump_thanks_alex_jones_set_to_appear_on_his_show_again.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Trump called Jones</a> to thank him for his service. As <a href="http://www.politico.com/story/2016/11/trump-thanked-alex-jones-231329" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Jones told it</a>,
“He said, ‘Listen, Alex, I just talked to kings and queens of the
world, world leaders, you name it, but he said it doesn’t matter, I
wanted to talk to you, to thank your audience.'”<br />
During the election season, Trump and Jones echoed each other’s
“alternative facts,” both propagating false claims that Barack Obama was
<a href="http://www.rightwingwatch.org/post/alex-jones-obama-birth-certificate-is-a-false-flag-to-divert-from-obamas-non-existent-islamic-ring/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">born in Kenya</a> and that<a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/style/how-alex-jones-conspiracy-theorist-extraordinaire-got-donald-trumps-ear/2016/11/17/583dc190-ab3e-11e6-8b45-f8e493f06fcd_story.html?utm_term=.df3cd6397e5e" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> thousands of Muslims celebrated </a>the
collapse of the Twin Towers in New Jersey. Yet somewhere between
Trump’s fear-mongering about rigged elections and him tweeting lies like
millions of undocumented immigrants voted for Hillary, even Jones
expressed surprise that his theories were being given so much credence
by such a powerful man. “It is surreal to talk about issues here on air
and then word for word hear Trump say it two days later,” he said in
August. “It is amazing.”<br />
At 43, the <a href="https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-news/meet-alex-jones-175845/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">“most paranoid man in America”</a> has thrust himself into mainstream news cycle, reaching 1.9 million subscribers on his YouTube channel, over<a href="https://www.quantcast.com/infowars.com#/demographicsCard" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> 6.7 million people visiting his website</a> and <a href="https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/extremist-files/individual/alex-jones" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">2 million tune in weekly</a> to his syndicated radio show. All told, <a href="https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/extremist-files/individual/alex-jones" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Jones is the most prolific conspiracy theorist in the country</a>
– yet he’s still unknown to many in America. To give our readers a
taste of the kind of rhetoric he loves, here are seven of his favorite
conspiracy theories, explained.<br />

To Jones, the coming New World Order is a “<a href="https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-news/meet-alex-jones-175845/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">demonic high-tech tyranny</a>” formed
by satanist elites who manufacture economic and health crises, and are
using selective breeding to create a supreme race. In November, he
claimed that Hillary Clinton was connected to <a href="http://www.infowars.com/bombshell-hillary-clintons-satanic-network-exposed/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">“top occultist Marina Abramovic”</a> because the Yugoslavian performance artist<a href="https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/15893" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> once invited</a> John Podesta, former chairman of Clinton’s presidential campaign, to a “<a href="http://www.infowars.com/bombshell-hillary-clintons-satanic-network-exposed/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">spirit cooking</a>”
dinner. (Citing every teenage goth’s favorite Nineteenth-century
occultist, Aleister Crowley, Infowars reported that dinner would include
“eating semen, blood and breast milk.” In fact, the menu was made up of
“<a href="http://www.artnews.com/2016/11/04/marina-abramovic-on-right-wing-attacks-its-absolutely-outrageous-and-ridiculous/" target="_blank">traditional soups</a>.”) Infowars has also linked the <a href="http://www.infowars.com/scalias-death-linked-to-bohemian-grove-illuminati/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">death of late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia</a> to meeting with an Austrian secret society group named the Bohemian Grove, which the site traces back to the <a href="http://www.complex.com/pop-culture/2015/02/what-is-the-illuminati-conspiracy-and-who-are-its-members/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Illuminati.</a><br />
But Jones doesn’t believe it’s just politicians who are working for the Prince of Darkness. In February, <a href="http://www.infowars.com/lady-gaga-to-conduct-satanic-ritual-at-super-bowel-li/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Jones posted videos to his Facebook page</a>
to announce that Lady Gaga’s Super Bowl Halftime Show would be a cover
for a satanic rite. “She wears meat suits and does all these rituals…
and the organizers of the Super Bowl are deciding to defile America and
break our will by having us bow down to this,” Jones said. “They say
she’s going to stand on top of the stadium, ruling over everyone with
drones everywhere, surveilling everyone in a big swarm. To just
condition them to say, ‘I am the goddess of Satan,’ ruling over them
with the rise of the robots in a ritual of lesser magic.” That’s one way
to describe what happened at halftime – though most just saw it as a<a href="http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/la-et-entertainment-news-updates-was-lady-gaga-s-halftime-show-1486419323-htmlstory.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> family-friendly call for diversity</a> and acceptance in America.<br />

Bill Gates is a eugenicist trying to wipe out minorities </h3>
</header>
<div class="c-list__lead c-content">
So, who is running the New World Order’s mass eugenics mission?
It’s the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, of course. Jones has long
believed that the foundation isn’t a philanthropic organization aimed at
improving the health and education of children around the globe, rather
it’s an evil entity vying for global domination. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KAqUOocd6wk" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">“I know who Bill Gates is,”</a>
Jones asserted, adding that the billionaire software developer’s father
was a “top eugenicist,” because Bill Gates Sr. served on the board of
Planned Parenthood. Jones goes on to says that IBM – for whom he says
Gates is just a “front” – was set up as a eugenics trust with “the
expressed mission of creating a world-wide race-based system and funded
Adolf Hitler.”<br />

The government is controlling the weather </h3>
</header>
<div class="c-list__lead c-content">
Not only is the government using eugenics to reign supreme, it’s
manipulating weather to murder people on demand. “Of course there’s
weather weapon stuff going on,” <a href="http://mediamatters.org/blog/2013/05/21/alex-jones-explains-how-government-weather-weap/194167" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Jones</a>,
who repeatedly suggested that Obama was using secret weapons to control
the weather, said in 2013. “We had floods in Texas like 15 years ago,
killed 30-something people in one night. Turned out it was the Air
Force.” Jones thinks that natural disasters have been the result of
government interference since the early 1990s. In the nearly three
decades since, he’s said, <a href="http://www.infowars.com/government-weather-manipulation-exposed/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">major Western governments</a>
have been secretly “adding to jet fuel a whole host of radioactive
isotopes” to manipulate the weather, even going as far as to “create and
steer groups of tornadoes.” (While weather manipulation is real, it’s <a href="http://www.snopes.com/government-buries-weather-modification-news/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">basically just a way to increase precipitation </a>during drought – not to create superstorms.)<br />
InfoWars has <a href="http://www.infowars.com/hurricane-sandy-divine-wind-for-obama/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">run reports</a>
suggesting that the government and High-Frequency Active Auroral
Research Program (HAARP), once owned by the United States Air Force, <a href="http://www.usnews.com/news/blogs/washington-whispers/2012/10/29/conspiracy-theorists-say-obama-engineered-hurricane-sandy" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">used electromagnetic waves</a>
to create major weather events like Hurricane Sandy. This rumor became
so pervasive that in August, the University of Alaska Fairbanks – <a href="https://www.adn.com/alaska-news/science/2016/08/24/haarps-new-owner-holds-open-house-to-prove-facility-is-not-capable-of-mind-control/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">HAARP’s new owners</a> –<a href="http://www.nbcnews.com/science/weird-science/conspiracy-theories-abound-u-s-military-closes-haarp-n112576" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> held an open house</a>
to show skeptics the facility “is not capable of mind control.” Yet
Jones stands by his story – just last month he appeared on the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xlt0FXMUeo" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><i>Joe Rogan </i><i>Experience</i></a><span style="background-color: #f7f7f7;">, claiming that a general at HAARP admitted to him that they manipulate the weather. </span><i><br /></i><br />

Hillary Clinton is running a child sex ring out of a D.C.-area pizza restaurant </h3>
</header>
<div class="c-list__lead c-content">
In December, a man named Edgar Maddison Welch drove from North
Carolina to Washington, D.C., armed with an AR-15, to rescue children
being held in a sex ring in the basement of Comet Pizza. When he found
no children, Welch, 28, surrendered to police and told them he thought
Clinton and Podesta were running the pedophilia ring. <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2016/12/10/business/media/pizzagate.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The falsehood spread</a>
when in October WikiLeaks began publishing leaked emails from the
Clinton campaign director, and social media users began to theorize they
contained food-related code words, such as “cheese pizza” meaning
“child pornography.” In November, Jones <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uf6jP_WfqYM" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">posted a since-removed video</a>, saying he had “zero fear” of standing up to Clinton even though she had <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/pizzagate-from-rumor-to-hashtag-to-gunfire-in-dc/2016/12/06/4c7def50-bbd4-11e6-94ac-3d324840106c_story.html?utm_term=.fdbca3027649" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">“personally murdered children.”</a>
Using the hastag #pizzagate, he pushed the notion that Podesta had
dined at Comet Pizza, and, naturally, figured it was the site of an
underground pedophilia ring. Jones took to the air later that month and
said that “Pizzagate is real” and<a href="http://www.mediamatters.org/blog/2016/12/16/alex-jones-deletes-video-which-he-had-told-his-audience-personally-investigate-pizzagate-restaurant/214846" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> urged his listeners </a>to “go investigate it for yourself.”<br />
<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2016/12/07/us/edgar-welch-comet-pizza-fake-news.html?hp&action=click&pgtype=Homepage&clickSource=story-heading&module=first-column-region&region=top-news&WT.nav=top-news" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Turns out Welch listens to Jones</a> and shared the <a href="http://www.infowars.com/pizzagate-the-bigger-picture/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">InfoWars articles</a>. Jones
has since backtracked, claiming that this was just a red herring to
distract from the real evils of the Clintons. Jones later posted a “<a href="http://mediamatters.org/embed/clips/2016/12/16/51552/youtube-alexjones-20161215-pizzagate" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">special emergency report</a>” to
tell his audience to “drop this, I smell a rat, it’s a diversion.” He
removed his previous videos because he didn’t want to mainstream media
to use his reports to distract from the real damage the Clinton family
was doing. “They are coming after the free speech,” Jones said before he
added, “This is all about shutting you down.”<br />

The government is complicit in countless terrorist and lone-gunman attacks </h3>
</header>
<div class="c-list__lead c-content">
In <a href="http://www.infowars.com/flashback-alex-jones-said-911-inside-job-on-the-day-it-happened/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">July</a> 2001,
Jones warned his audience that the government was planning to blame
Osama bin Laden for the future destruction of the World Trade Center. On
September 11th, he<a href="http://www.infowars.com/flashback-alex-jones-said-911-inside-job-on-the-day-it-happened/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> opened his radio show saying</a>:
“They need this as a pretext to bring you and your family martial law.”
As the founding father of the 9/11 Truth movement, Jones has been
pushing that the U.S. government was behind the attacks for over 15
years.<br />
Based on his reading of the <i>9/11 Commission Report</i>, Jones
believes that the government was complicit in the attacks by assisting
Saudi Arabia. “It says Saudi Arabia ran the attacks to blame Iraq that
was always the plan,” <a href="http://www.infowars.com/its-time-to-admit-the-911-truthers-were-right/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">he said</a>. “And then our own government bare minimum stood down.” Last year, Infowars posted a <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2017/02/06/trumps-suggestion-that-the-media-is-ignoring-terrorist-attacks-has-a-familiar-source-infowars/?utm_term=.21e3c39dc34c" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">video of Trump</a>
perpetuating the theory. “But it wasn’t the Iraqis, you will find out
who really knocked down the World Trade Center,” Trump said. “Because
they have papers in there that are very secret, you may find it’s the
Saudis, OK?” In November, Jones pointed to Trump’s public comments on
the attacks as evidence that he wasn’t part of the insider elite. If he
were, “he would have gone along with the official story,” <a href="http://www.mediamatters.org/video/2016/11/28/trump-ally-alex-jones-uses-trump-s-2001-remarks-further-911-inside-job-conspiracy/214631" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Jones said</a>. “But he didn’t. He was there Day One saying what I was saying on the radio at the exact same time.”<br />
<span style="background-color: #f7f7f7;">But Jones doesn’t stop with 9/11 – he also claims the Boston Marathon bombing was an inside job, and has said the </span><a href="http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2016/09/the-sandy-hook-hoax.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Sandy Hook Elementary School</a><span style="background-color: #f7f7f7;"> shooting was a hoax that involved child actors.</span> Jones has also said Jared Loughner, who killed six people and seriously wounded Rep. Gabrielle Giffords in 2011, was a “<a href="https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-news/meet-alex-jones-175845/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">staged mind-control operation.</a>”
“The government employs geometric psychological-warfare experts that
know exactly how to indirectly manipulate unstable people through the
media,” Jones said. “They implanted the idea in his head by repeatedly
asking, ‘Is Giffords in danger?'” In 2016, the <a href="http://www.infowars.com/live-now-brussels-attack-a-false-flag/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Brussels attacks</a> and the Pulse <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Taivhe7I0IE" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">shooting</a> in Orlando were <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_flag" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">“false flag”</a>
operations, Jones said, arguing that the government allowed radical
Islamists into the country so they “can attack us and then have our
freedoms taken.”<br />
Most recently, Trump advisor Kellyanne Conway echoed Jones’ belief
that the media ignores terrorist attacks when she spoke on the
non-existent Bowling Green massacre by Iraqi refugees. Conway has since
admitted her <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/03/us/politics/bowling-green-massacre-kellyanne-conway.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">wrongdoing</a>, but that <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/politics/wp/2017/02/06/president-trump-is-now-speculating-that-the-media-is-covering-up-terrorist-attacks/?hpid=hp_rhp-top-table-main_fix-fake-polls-1pm:homepage/story&tid=a_inl&utm_term=.172b6770ea4c" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">didn’t stop Trump from going further</a>
and suggesting the media actively doesn’t report on such attacks and in
“many cases the very, very dishonest press doesn’t want to report it.”
Why not? “They have their reasons,” Trump said, “and you understand
that.”<br />

to reach over 700,000 illegal immigrants. In November, another story, “<a href="http://www.infowars.com/report-three-million-votes-in-presidential-election-cast-by-illegal-aliens/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Three Million Votes In Presidential Election Cast By Illegal Immigrants</a>”
cited VoteFraud.org’s Greg Phillips, a former official with the Texas
Health and Human Services Commission, who contended it had “completed an
analysis of 180 million voter registrations.” Trump quickly jumped on
the bandwagon and tweeted that he “won the popular vote if you deduct
the millions of people who voted illegally” – though that was entirely
without evidence. Trump’s claims were debunked as inquiries from
mainstream newspapers proved in all 50 states found <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2016/12/18/us/voter-fraud.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">“no states that reported indications of widespread fraud.”</a> But that didn’t stop Trump from tweeting again in January to say that he <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2016/11/27/donald-trumps-new-explanation-for-losing-the-popular-vote-a-twitter-born-conspiracy-theory/?utm_term=.22f3077b688c" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">“looked forward to seeing final results”</a> of Phillips’ analysis that said “at least 3 million votes were illegal.”<br />
On the season premiere of HBO’s <i>Last Week Tonight</i>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6GQCTTlh_E" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">host John Oliver did a segment </a>about
Jones’ influence over the new president. “Trump validated his
supporters’ beliefs about voter fraud and, in turn, they validated his,”
Oliver said about Trump’s reliance on information from Phillips and
Jones. Of course, when Oliver described InfoWars pushing stories like
“tap water is a gay bomb and they are putting chemicals in the water to
turn the friggin’ frogs gay,” he was joking. Mostly.<br />

A longtime opponent of the media in all its forms, Jones has also
cooked up conspiracy theories about fellow radio hosts. In a 2011<i> Rolling Stone</i> profile, <a href="https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-news/meet-alex-jones-175845/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Alexander Zaitchik wrote</a> that
“Jones draws a bigger audience online than Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck
combined – and his conspiracy-laced rants make the two hosts sound like
tea-sipping NPR hosts on Zoloft.”<br />
While Beck has since stepped back from the divisive rhetoric that
made him famous, Jones has doubled down, accusing his fellow right-wing
talk-show host of<a href="https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-news/meet-alex-jones-175845/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> “stealing his ideas, guests and research.”</a> In April 2014, Jones posted a video on his YouTube channel attacking Beck,<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2t2eNLQeSnc" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> saying</a>
Beck worked as an “Obama agent” and his staff office is a “CIA/FBI
substation.” He added that this might be a recent development. “If he
wasn’t always a spook, he was brought in by them over the last four
years,” Jones said. In December, Beck, who had been interviewed the
previous month for the <i>New York Times Magazine</i> article, titled “<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/27/magazine/glenn-beck-is-sorry-about-all-that.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Glenn Beck Is Sorry About All That,”</a> mentioned that Jones believed he was<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3SDJbsQqbm0" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> “a CIA operative that helped orchestrate the cover up of 9/11”</a> and added that his accuser is “a really spooky guy, and you just have to be careful” – this from the man who <a href="http://theweek.com/articles/490063/glenn-becks-apocalypse-survival-kits-instant-guide" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">made prepping a national pastime</a>.<br />

Christmas is the celebration of the time when the days start to lengthen, which in the Northern Hemisphere, is in the middle of winter. Many religions in history have claimed the winter solstice as a holy day. The "<i>reason of the season</i>" is a combination of different traditions. It includes sun worship and pagan nature religions who have venerated the natural cycle for many thousands of years. Many traditional elements of Christmas pre-date <a href="http://www.humanreligions.info/christianity.html" jqpu_content="Belief that a single creator god had a son, Jesus Christ, born to a human mother, and that Jesus' crucifixion by the Romans brings salvation<br><br><a title="Click to go to a page about this religion." href=christianity.html>About Christianity</a>" jqpu_title="<a href=christianity.html>Christianity</a>" style="color: #000099; text-decoration-line: none;">Christianity</a><sub style="font-size: x-small; line-height: 0;"><a href="http://www.humanreligions.info/christmas.html#BI_001" style="color: #000099; text-decoration-line: none;">1</a></sub>. Nowadays it is laid upon by various <i><a href="http://www.humanreligions.info/christianity.html" jqpu_content="Belief that a single creator god had a son, Jesus Christ, born to a human mother, and that Jesus' crucifixion by the Romans brings salvation<br><br><a title="Click to go to a page about this religion." href=christianity.html>About Christianity</a>" jqpu_title="<a href=christianity.html>Christianity</a>" style="color: #000099; text-decoration-line: none;">Christian</a></i> stories, and <a href="http://www.humanreligions.info/christianity.html" jqpu_content="Belief that a single creator god had a son, Jesus Christ, born to a human mother, and that Jesus' crucifixion by the Romans brings salvation<br><br><a title="Click to go to a page about this religion." href=christianity.html>About Christianity</a>" jqpu_title="<a href=christianity.html>Christianity</a>" style="color: #000099; text-decoration-line: none;">Christians</a> even say, quite wrongly, that they invented Christmas. In combination with these religious sources is a heavy dose of commercialism - many "traditions" are in fact invented by commercial companies trying to find nifty ways of selling goods. A sensible and modern refrain is that Christmas is simply a secular midwinter holiday season; it is important to <i>all</i> families as one of the three holiday seasons in between children's school terms. Christmas is a multicultural festival with a long pagan history, and can be celebrated by anyone.</div>

Many traditional elements of Christmas pre-date Christianity<sub style="font-size: x-small; line-height: 0;"><a href="http://www.humanreligions.info/christmas.html#BI_001" style="color: #000099; text-decoration-line: none;">1</a></sub>. In other words, Christmas was pagan before it was adopted (and renamed) by Christians. The Catholic Encyclopedia of 1908 states that "<i>Christmas was not among the earliest festivals of the Church. Irenaeus and Tertullian omit it from their lists of feasts</i>"<sub style="font-size: x-small; line-height: 0;"><a href="http://www.humanreligions.info/christmas.html#BI_002" style="color: #000099; text-decoration-line: none;">2</a></sub> - those authors lived into the 3rd century. The <abbr style="font-size: 14.4px; font-variant-caps: small-caps; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">CE</abbr> article concludes that when later Christians adopted the date of the 25th of December for Jesus' birth, "the abundance of analogous midwinter festivals may indefinitely have helped the choice of the December date, the same instinct which set Natalis Invicti at the winter solstice will have sufficed, apart from deliberate adaptation or curious calculation, to set the Christian feast there too". Prof. Hutton, a respected and careful primary-sources historian, mentions Christmas in his valuable book on the history of modern Paganism.<br />

It is the reason Sun-day is a holy day in many religions, and why major festivals are held at spring and at the Solstices. The real meaning of Christmas is sun worship; a reminder to all life on Earth that we owe everything to the Sun. Sun worship is one of the main pillars of all religion, especially older religions. Sun worshippers and nature religions held major celebrations at the Winter Solstice the victory of the strength of the Sun over the forces of darkness that try to suppress it. Osiris-Dionysus represented and was represented by the sun, as was Jesus, whom the Church father Clement of Alexander calls 'The Sun of Righteousness'<sub style="font-size: x-small; line-height: 0;"><a href="http://www.humanreligions.info/christmas.html#BI_006" style="color: #000099; text-decoration-line: none;">6</a></sub>.

However, other Sun-worshipping groups were included too, because of the general importance and popularity of Sol Invictus, the Invincible Sun-deity. Mario Righetti, a renowned Catholic liturgist, writes, "the Church of Rome, to facilitate the acceptance of the faith by the pagan masses, found it convenient to institute the 25th December as the feast of the temporal birth of Christ, to divert them from the pagan feast, celebrated on the same day in honour of the 'Invincible Sun', Mithras. [...] The mixing of pagan Sun-worship and Christianity is exemplified by the testimony of a Syrian scholiast on Bar Salibi, who said, "It was a custom of the heathen to celebrate on the same 25th of December the birthday of the Sun, at which they kindled lights in token of festivity. In these solemnities and festivities the Christians also took part." Practically all the known Sun-deities were born on the 25th December. In S.E. Titcomb, Aryan Sun myths, the Origin of Religions, we find it cited, quoted from primary sources, that the following Sun-deities were all born on 25 December, according to their legends: Crishna (Vishnu), Mithra (Mithras), Osiris, Horus, Hercules, Dionysus (Bacchus), Tammuz, Indra, Buddha. Therein we also read of the Scandinavian goddess Frigga in whose honour a "Mother-night" festival was held at the winter solstice (+ - 25 December), as well as a similar great feast of Yule, where a boar was offered at the winter solstice in honour of Frey.<span class="IQR" style="font-size: 24pt; left: 0.8em; line-height: 0; position: relative; vertical-align: bottom;">”</span></div>

2. The Commercial Takeover of Christmas</h2>
<div class="Tags H2Tags">
</div>
The most skeptical view of modern Christmas is that the fads, decorations, festive goods and all the paraphernalia are a commercial scam to make us spend money on over-priced useless goods. However true this is, it has also become a secular social festival much akin to the American thanksgiving. Families come together at Christmas even if they do not for the rest of the year. It probably helps that Christmas and New Year's celebrations have become institutionally intertwined. These make Christmas in essence a meaningful family celebration, even if on top of that there is a thick cover of shallow commercialism.<br />
The festivities are largely led by commerce and retail outlets: The relevant decorations, cards, food and goods are all <i>marketed</i> for Christmas, and it is the High Streets that press Christmas upon the populace way before the populace itself is ready. It is a frequent complaint that stores start Christmas "too early" and too aggressively. Several elements of Christmas are the invention <i>purely</i> of commercial advertisements.<br />
<h3 id="Cards">
2.1. The Origin of Christmas Cards</h3>
<div class="Tags H3Tags">
</div>
Take the example of the commercial invention of the Christmas card; with corporate effort, these would have remained an expensive privilege of the rich.<br />
<blockquote style="font-family: arial; line-height: 1.2;">
<div style="font-family: sans-serif;">
<span class="IQL" style="display: inline; float: left; font-size: 24pt; margin: 0.1em 0.8em 0px 0px;">“</span>The Christmas card represented a convenient and sophisticated evolution of the ancient custom of giving blessings or good wishes for the New Year. By 1840 it was often carried on among the wealthier classes by sending a short poem engraved within an ornamental framework. [...] This, and some imitations, proved to be commercial failures because they were too expensive. In 1862, therefore, a fresh start was made by the stationers Messrs Charles Goodall, which printed cheap plain greetings. By the end of the decade they were becoming decorated, and other firms were producing them. [...] In 1878 the volume sent was sufficient for the Post Office to commence a separate record of Christmas mail, and in the 1890s the cards became a popular craze, and continued to expand their market over the next century. In 1992 1,560 million were sent, and the commercial value of the Christmas card trade was £250 million.<span class="IQR" style="font-size: 24pt; left: 0.8em; line-height: 0; position: relative; vertical-align: bottom;">”</span></div>

It was done then partly because of the general taste of the age for allegory and partly because the criticism of observation of the feast by radical Protestants made a representation of it convenient to writers determined to defend it. Thus in 1616 Ben Jonson introduced to the world, <i>Christmas His Masque</i>, presented a figure 'in a round hose, long stockings, a close doublet, a high-crowned hat with a brooch, a long thin beard, a truncheon, little ruffs, white shoes, his scarfs, and garters tied cross.' [...] Over the next 250 years this sort of character was to feature repeatedly in pictures, stage plays, and folk-drama, known variously as Sir Christmas, Lord Christmas, or (increasingly) as Father Christmas. He was essentially concerned with the adult world, personifying feasting and games, he had no connection with presents, and he was not treated with much respect, being generally a burlesque figure of fun. Then Santa Claus turned up. In origins he was, of course, the medieval patron of children, St Nicholas, who remained a favourite popular figure amongst the Dutch.<span class="IQR" style="font-size: 24pt; left: 0.8em; line-height: 0; position: relative; vertical-align: bottom;">”</span></div>

[...] His saint was not the traditional, sentimental, figure of the Dutch, but a magical sprit of the northern midwinter. He wore fur cloths, had a bushy white beard, traveled through the sky merrily in a sleigh drawn by reindeer, and came down chimneys with a sack of gifts.

2.3. Commercial Christmas</h3>
<div class="Tags H3Tags">
</div>
Prominent elements of Christmas are commercial inventions, from Father Christmas (and his suit) to Christmas Cards. The history of commercialist Christmas is older still than those creations. From the 1870s onwards, <i>The Times</i>broadsheet could be relied upon to attack the commercialism of Christmas<sub style="font-size: x-small; line-height: 0;"><a href="http://www.humanreligions.info/christmas.html#BI_011" style="color: #000099; text-decoration-line: none;">11</a></sub>. Clearly, its commercialisation has not destroyed it and since the nineteenth century, it has become even more popular than ever.<br />
To remove the commercial aspects of Christmas would be largely to destroy it; religious activists would create in its place a series of historically-challenged myths and break it into a sectarian event. Without commercialism the general populace, Protestant Christians, secularists and evangelical Christians would all cease to have anything in common during <i>the</i> festive season.<br />

3. Christianity Versus Christmas</h2>

<h3 id="Christianity_S">
3.1. Christmas Was Always Largely Secular</h3>
<div class="Tags H3Tags">
</div>
Despite the nature-reveration, pagan festivals and sun-worship that formed the basis of the Christmas period, Christians sometimes complain that the 'original' Christian message is ignored at Christmas. Such modern Christians do not know its history. Christian Churches have themselves led long and bitter campaigns against the observance of Christmas and in various times and places banned it completely. The religious content was always very small, with most celebrations and rituals being secular (i.e., organized by the people, not by clerics). Major elements of Christmas are simply commercial inventions based on themes of nature, such as Christmas cards:<br />
<blockquote style="font-family: arial; line-height: 1.2;">
<div style="font-family: sans-serif;">
<span class="IQL" style="display: inline; float: left; font-size: 24pt; margin: 0.1em 0.8em 0px 0px;">“</span>From the beginning, the proportion of religious themes in [Christmas card] designs was small. Examples from before 1890 (of which the Jonathan King collection has 163,000) show an overwhelming concentration upon the natural world and upon jollity. [...] The choice of imagery has remained more or less constant ever since; an evocation of survival, rejoicing, and the resilience of nature, usually constructed around the (literally) vivacious colours red and green.<span class="IQR" style="font-size: 24pt; left: 0.8em; line-height: 0; position: relative; vertical-align: bottom;">”</span></div>

Modern-day Christmas frequently contains modern Christian elements. Not least of all, in English, the word 'Christmas' is the one we are all familiar with, moreso than Yule or Winter Solstice. Nativity stories are taken from the Christian tradition - even though the ideas of shepherds, wise men and the like were all originally pagan, the stories are now told with Christian overtones at Christmas.<br />

The suspicion of birthdays and the fact that there are no written first-hand records of Jesus or his life, mean that it has long been impossible to work out when he was born.<br />
Modern <a class="Subtle" href="http://www.humanreligions.info/fundamentalism.html" style="color: #000044; text-decoration-line: none;">Christian fundamentalists</a> and evangelicals tell Christians not to celebrate Christmas. "Three and a half centuries ago the English Puritans used their influence within the Cromwellian Republic (Protectorate) to ban Christmas celebrations.

It then mutated from a simple rebranding to a calculated attack on <a href="http://www.humanreligions.info/christianity.html" jqpu_content="Belief that a single creator god had a son, Jesus Christ, born to a human mother, and that Jesus' crucifixion by the Romans brings salvation<br><br><a title="Click to go to a page about this religion." href=christianity.html>About Christianity</a>" jqpu_title="<a href=christianity.html>Christianity</a>" style="color: #000099; text-decoration-line: none;">Christianity</a> by '<a href="http://www.humanreligions.info/atheism.html" jqpu_content="Either (1) the active and extrinsic disbelief that God exists, or (2) an intrinsic lack of belief due to lack of knowledge about god(s) in local culture<br><br><a title="Click to go to a page about this religion." href=atheism.html>About atheism</a>" jqpu_title="<a href=atheism.html>Atheism</a>" style="color: #000099; text-decoration-line: none;">atheists</a>', '<a href="http://www.humanreligions.info/islam.html" jqpu_content="Strict monotheism taught by Muhammad, the world's 2nd largest religion<br><br><a title="Click to go to a page about this religion." href=islam.html>About Islam</a>" jqpu_title="<a href=islam.html>Islam</a>" style="color: #000099; text-decoration-line: none;">Muslims</a>', or the 'PC brigade' who feared offending 'other faiths' or 'ethnic minorities'. In one extreme example, the South Wales Echo claimed that Winterval was the result of 'virulent attacks on religion by <a href="http://www.humanreligions.info/atheism.html" jqpu_content="Either (1) the active and extrinsic disbelief that God exists, or (2) an intrinsic lack of belief due to lack of knowledge about god(s) in local culture<br><br><a title="Click to go to a page about this religion." href=atheism.html>About atheism</a>" jqpu_title="<a href=atheism.html>Atheism</a>" style="color: #000099; text-decoration-line: none;">atheists</a>', which had led to 'new rules such as <a class="Subtle" href="http://www.humanreligions.info/christmas.html" style="color: #000044; text-decoration-line: none;">Christmas</a> being renamed as 'Winterval'. [...]</div>
<div style="font-family: sans-serif;">
In all, at least 15 articles directly claim that <a class="Subtle" href="http://www.humanreligions.info/christmas.html" style="color: #000044; text-decoration-line: none;">Christmas</a> was renamed Winterval because of a fear of offending 'other faiths'. At least a further 10 articles directly claim that Winterval was used to avoid offending 'ethnic minorities'.</div>
<div style="font-family: sans-serif;">
So now, thanks to perhaps one repetition too far, the Daily Mail has finally admitted that Winterval is a media fiction. But what impact will those few lines of correction have compared with the huge body of journalism that has been repeating it for so long as fact? And, more important, will Melanie Phillips offer her own apology for repeating the myth?</div>

When I first heard the story, I thought '<i>ridiculous</i>' and didn't believe it was true. I spent a few minutes researching it, and found out that I was right to doubt. Therefore, my world-view was not distorted. <i>Journalists</i> broadcast their opinions to others, and it is downright criminal that failures in basic fact-checking can be so endemic amongst them.<br />

<a class="Subtle" href="http://www.humanreligions.info/christmas.html" style="color: #000044; text-decoration-line: none;">Christmas is a multicultural, multi-religious festival</a>. It combines sun worship, <span jqpu_content="Belief in multiple gods, often in some form of hierarchy" jqpu_title="Polytheism">polytheism</span>, pagan nature religions who have venerated the natural cycle for many thousands of years, <a href="http://www.humanreligions.info/christianity.html" jqpu_content="Belief that a single creator god had a son, Jesus Christ, born to a human mother, and that Jesus' crucifixion by the Romans brings salvation<br><br><a title="Click to go to a page about this religion." href=christianity.html>About Christianity</a>" jqpu_title="<a href=christianity.html>Christianity</a>" style="color: #000099; text-decoration-line: none;">Christianity</a> and other myths and traditions. When <a href="http://www.humanreligions.info/christianity.html" jqpu_content="Belief that a single creator god had a son, Jesus Christ, born to a human mother, and that Jesus' crucifixion by the Romans brings salvation<br><br><a title="Click to go to a page about this religion." href=christianity.html>About Christianity</a>" jqpu_title="<a href=christianity.html>Christianity</a>" style="color: #000099; text-decoration-line: none;">Christians</a> complain it is too pagan, or when lay folk complain it is too religious, or when both groups complain it is too commercial, then they are all in need of realizing that <a class="Subtle" href="http://www.humanreligions.info/christmas.html" style="color: #000044; text-decoration-line: none;">Christmas</a> is a commercial fusion of diverse nature-based festivals. The date of the 25th accords with Sun Worship thousands of years old, the <a class="Subtle" href="http://www.humanreligions.info/christmas.html" style="color: #000044; text-decoration-line: none;">Christmas tree</a> and some of the decorations are pagan, even the Nativity stories are originally pagan, Mithraistic, Roman <i>and</i> <a href="http://www.humanreligions.info/christianity.html" jqpu_content="Belief that a single creator god had a son, Jesus Christ, born to a human mother, and that Jesus' crucifixion by the Romans brings salvation<br><br><a title="Click to go to a page about this religion." href=christianity.html>About Christianity</a>" jqpu_title="<a href=christianity.html>Christianity</a>" style="color: #000099; text-decoration-line: none;">Christian</a>.<br />
The main outstanding issue in the West is the <a class="Subtle" href="http://www.vexen.co.uk/religion/christianity_birthnarrative.html" style="color: #000044; text-decoration-line: none;" title="The virgin birth, the roman census, the 3 sages and the genealogies given by Matthew and Luke are symbolic, not historical, stories.">Christian assertion that Christmas has something to do with the Christian figure of Christ or his birthday</a>. These elements should be disclaimed. Firstly, the paganism inherent in <a class="Subtle" href="http://www.humanreligions.info/christmas.html" style="color: #000044; text-decoration-line: none;">Christmas</a>, such as decorating trees, is warned against in the Bible (<a class="Subtle" href="http://www.holybooks.info/jeremiah.html#Chapter10" jqpu_content="About: <a href="http://www.holybooks.info/jeremiah.html">Yirmeyahu / Jeremiah / Jeremias</a><br><sup>2</sup> Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them.<br><sup>3</sup> For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe.<br><sup>4</sup> They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not." jqpu_title="<a class="Subtle" href="http://www.holybooks.info/jeremiah.html#Chapter10">Jeremiah 10:2-4</a> [KJV]" style="color: #000044; text-decoration-line: none;">Jeremiah 10:2-4</a>). Second, there are no <a href="http://www.humanreligions.info/christianity.html" jqpu_content="Belief that a single creator god had a son, Jesus Christ, born to a human mother, and that Jesus' crucifixion by the Romans brings salvation<br><br><a title="Click to go to a page about this religion." href=christianity.html>About Christianity</a>" jqpu_title="<a href=christianity.html>Christianity</a>" style="color: #000099; text-decoration-line: none;">Christian</a>birthday celebrations in the Bible. Thirdly, <a class="Subtle" href="http://www.vexen.co.uk/religion/christianity_birthnarrative.html#Date" style="color: #000044; text-decoration-line: none;">early Christians celebrated Christ's birthday in April or May</a> - it was only changed to match with 25th of December, a major pagan holiday, by Emperor Constantine, in order to harmonize <a href="http://www.humanreligions.info/christianity.html" jqpu_content="Belief that a single creator god had a son, Jesus Christ, born to a human mother, and that Jesus' crucifixion by the Romans brings salvation<br><br><a title="Click to go to a page about this religion." href=christianity.html>About Christianity</a>" jqpu_title="<a href=christianity.html>Christianity</a>" style="color: #000099; text-decoration-line: none;">Christianity</a> with paganism. It is certain that <a href="http://www.humanreligions.info/christianity.html" jqpu_content="Belief that a single creator god had a son, Jesus Christ, born to a human mother, and that Jesus' crucifixion by the Romans brings salvation<br><br><a title="Click to go to a page about this religion." href=christianity.html>About Christianity</a>" jqpu_title="<a href=christianity.html>Christianity</a>" style="color: #000099; text-decoration-line: none;">Christians</a> should not attempt to celebrate Jesus' birthday, and they certainly shouldn't do so at <a class="Subtle" href="http://www.humanreligions.info/christmas.html" style="color: #000044; text-decoration-line: none;">Christmas</a>.<br />
In addition to its rich history, <a class="Subtle" href="http://www.humanreligions.info/christmas.html" style="color: #000044; text-decoration-line: none;">Christmas</a> has now become largely a secular holiday, a social festival based on the family, and a commercial enterprise. Critics largely concentrate of the portions of <a class="Subtle" href="http://www.humanreligions.info/christmas.html" style="color: #000044; text-decoration-line: none;">Christmas</a> they don't like, and claim that those portions ruin the rest of it. As long as no-one tries to "capture the flag" and exclude others, then there need be no modern conflict over the nature of <a class="Subtle" href="http://www.humanreligions.info/christmas.html" style="color: #000044; text-decoration-line: none;">Christmas</a>. The non-religious can celebrate the commercial and social event, <a href="http://www.humanreligions.info/christianity.html" jqpu_content="Belief that a single creator god had a son, Jesus Christ, born to a human mother, and that Jesus' crucifixion by the Romans brings salvation<br><br><a title="Click to go to a page about this religion." href=christianity.html>About Christianity</a>" jqpu_title="<a href=christianity.html>Christianity</a>" style="color: #000099; text-decoration-line: none;">Christians</a> can pretend <a class="Subtle" href="http://www.humanreligions.info/christmas.html" style="color: #000044; text-decoration-line: none;">Christmas</a> has something to do with Christ, pagans can celebrate nature, and all can be happy. There are even alternative and well-known names for <a class="Subtle" href="http://www.humanreligions.info/christmas.html" style="color: #000044; text-decoration-line: none;">Christmas</a>, such as Yuletide, which can be used according to taste. Whether or not one choses to celebrate <a class="Subtle" href="http://www.humanreligions.info/christmas.html" style="color: #000044; text-decoration-line: none;">Christmas</a> is mostly a matter of mood!</div>

Ever hear about "Lifelog?" You know, the DARPA project to create an automatically updated, itemized, organized, electronic list of every interaction you have, every event you attend, every place you go and everything you do? The project that was announced as canceled the very same day Facebook launched? Well, neither had I? In today's Thought for the Day we explore the Lifelog/Facebook "coincidence" and what it tells us about our wired world.</yt-formatted-string></div>
