A Christmas Reflection
As the year draws to a close and the festive season lights up our homes and hearts, I want to take a moment to thank each of you for being part of this journey. Your support, thoughtful engagement, and curiosity have made this space a vibrant hub for ideas, reflections, and meaningful conversations.
Christmas is a time for togetherness, reflection, and gratitude—and I’m truly grateful for this wonderful community we’ve built together. Whether you celebrate Christmas, another holiday, or simply the warmth of the season, I hope these days are filled with joy, laughter, and moments that remind you of what truly matters.
In the spirit of reflection, let us also remember those enduring hardship and suffering. Our thoughts, prayers, and unconditional support are with the Palestinians and the people of Lebanon, who have faced immense challenges this year. Recent conflicts have led to significant loss and displacement in these regions, with reports indicating over 250,000 Palestinian lives lost and widespread destruction in Gaza. In Lebanon, communities have been deeply affected by the ongoing turmoil, with many seeking refuge and rebuilding amidst the devastation.
Let’s carry this spirit of hope and connection into the new year, with all its possibilities and opportunities for growth.
Wishing you and your loved ones a festive season filled with peace, love, and good health.
Warmest wishes,
George
P.S. Stay tuned for [exciting updates/new content/plans for the new year]! I can’t wait to share more with you soon.
Thank you Liana and the pleasure and gratitude is mine, not because of my writing, but because of a platform that has exposed me to a loyal and genuinely committed following that I have amassed through substack and for being allowed to write without constraint by corrupt editors who are servants of the establishment. The majority of people like yourself on substack are amazing people committed to truth, honesty, humanity and justice. There are those who troll - lost fools looking for attention in their vacuous world. The good thing about trolls is they’re pathetic and weak and how you deal with them is to pushback and set them straight. We’ve had a few of those recently who don’t like honest commentary, but that’s what we’re about. May God bless you on this wonderful day and bring you all the continued happiness and prosperity you deserve. Merry Christmas and thank you.
Thank you as well, George, for your compassion and love of truth and justice that motivates your investigations and speaking out and especially for providing this forum for us to come together, to feel less alone with the darkness and suffering we are confronted with every day. It would be much harder to bear without this Substack and those of so many deeply committed others over these past 15 months. Truly a genuine sense of community and solidarity has taken root, no matter what steps of suppression the Empire takes.
Blessings to you and your family during these festivals of light - May the returning light grow and bring warmth and light to all those in such terrible need and deprivation that we have journeyed and grieved with in our hearts these last 15 months and more. Thank you.
