0:00Richard Greaser For many individuals, Christmas is one of the most difficult times of the year. It is a time where buttons are pushed as you spend time with the people who installed them. Old wounds are resurfaced, and disappointments are re experienced.

0:16Richard Greaser For some, it can be a time where you remember the loss of your innocence, the time where you had to grow up far too young. This Christmas for many may be the most difficult they ever face. We are in the fourth turning, and the institutions that so many have had faith in are crumbling. Households are being divided.

0:37Richard Greaser Families are being fractured. The consequences of fiat money are front and center, unavoidable. But just because times are hard does not mean that they can't be good. It does not mean that you cannot experience connection and hope.

0:55Richard Greaser Everything that is good in the world came from people that fought for it. When a child goes to bed with a full stomach at night in a warm house, having played all day with presents, It is because of hours of toil that the parents spent in order to provide for and protect that child. The world is a dangerous place for children. It is a dangerous place for the innocent, the curious,

1:21Richard Greaser the pure. But danger is the realm which the pioneer walks into willingly. Over the past year, the bugle has used pioneer imagery to try and inspire our listeners to take active roles in their own lives. The pioneers that settled the Western United States, unlike the plebs of ancient Rome, were truly sovereign individuals.

1:45Richard Greaser For them, Christmas often meant challenge, as it often marked the beginnings of some of the coldest days of winter. Food could be scarce, and the cold oftentimes was life threatening. Their lives were marked with hardship, with struggle for survival.

2:03Richard Greaser Any gifts that were given were often handmade and consisted of immense value as the time that went into making them came after a hard day's work. Celebrations like Christmas often were times of great importance as traditions that were practiced

2:19Richard Greaser brought hope and connection into households filled with struggle. This Christmas, I want to challenge you to think of your ancestors that came before you. The ones that faced cold winters and chose to keep fighting.

2:34Richard Greaser You come from a long line of individuals who faced hardship, but chose to keep pushing forward so that you could be here. They were the ones that built the world that you now live in. Think of how they may have been gathered together in a cabin on the frontier, grasping for hope as the winter's chill threatened their very survival.

2:57Richard Greaser For you to be here today, it took determination, grit, but most importantly, it took individuals coming together

3:06Richard Greaser despite times being difficult to celebrate holidays like Christmas together. Inside you is that very same grit and determination that your ancestors had? Just because times may be growing difficult with the absence of Dennis Porter, the fourth turning kicking into full gear, and with the plebs being grumpy getting scared by whatever the latest FUD is, doesn't mean that you can't thrive.

3:32Richard Greaser And with that pioneer, I want to welcome you to this year's Bugle Christmas special. Here is your host, Richard Grieser.

3:43Richard Greaser I wanna thank you for joining me this Christmas. As you listen to this, I will be celebrating with my family, smoking cigarettes, talking about Atlas Shrugged, discussing her favorite music, and trying our darndest to connect with each other. If you're listening to this episode, you've probably been on this journey with me and the bugle for a while.

4:03Richard Greaser I started this all because I have faith in those who have faith in themselves. I was interested in reporting the news for the pioneers, not for individuals who needed to be convinced of anything. This year, I wanna talk about a Christmas tradition that I love. On the frontier on Christmas Eve, the Pioneer family would gather together and light a tallow candle in the window.

4:29Richard Greaser The candle signified safety from the cold and would be a signal for any traveler that could be lost in harsh conditions. If a family member had to go outside, the candle also acted as a guide back to the safety of the home. The nights on the frontier were cold and they were dark. One could get lost in a severe blizzard just feet away from their house. A traveler caught in back additions would almost certainly die as there was no infrastructure that they could rely on.

5:01Richard Greaser The candle was like a lighthouse at sea, acting as a guide for individuals in order to find refuge. I love this tradition because I believe that in modern times, we have to do something similar. We have to put out our signal for the weary travelers who have lost their way and may be on the verge of losing hope. In the past, on the frontier, it was much more about physical survival.

5:28Richard Greaser Today, many of our physical needs are met, but for many of us, there's much more of an emotional and mental and spiritual struggle that we're facing. Putting our signal out there, our signal can be shared in a way that only a select few can see it. I like to call it the pioneer, but many others that you've heard talk about this concept

5:54Richard Greaser call it the remnant. There are those among us that see what is wrong with our society, but also have the ability to determine cause and effect. They may be out there trying to plead with the people around them to come to some semblance of sanity only to have their pleas fall on deaf ears. They may be brilliant trying to share their brilliance with the world only to have their signal drowned in the sea of club slop.

6:23Richard Greaser Those are the people that matter because they are the people that have the capacity to make the difference. The individuals that follow the ebbs and flows of the pedophilic ruling class likely cannot be convinced of anything. They are stuck in their ways and they're just going to follow the crowd. That's why I believe my energy is best directed at finding these individuals who are in trying to encourage them that have the capacity to think. That is the purpose of the bugle.

6:55Richard Greaser So this evening, as I light the tallow candles in the window, I won't be thinking of a pioneer, lost in the blizzard, feeling alone this Christmas. Humanity has gotten this far because individuals have been heroic. They have faced fears,

7:13Richard Greaser faced danger and fought for the things that they love. If we have gotten this far, we can go further. Just like our ancestors suffered to build what we have now, we can follow in their example so that future generations can gather together and experience joy this Christmas.

7:36Buster Cherry Hey, folks. This is Buster Cherry, and I hope you are having a wonderful Christmas this year. Around my family's tree is a wide assortment of pleb trinkets. RAM price has skyrocketed due to fear that the spammers will make running a node more expensive. And I know many of us are feeling the strain financially with the increased cost of things. On the frontier, gifts meant time and dedication. That is why they were so valuable. The gifts that you give or receive are symbolic of how much you care about the people you are giving them to. The hours of your life you exchanged in order to wrap something in paper that they will tear apart. The ultimate gift you can give though is by being yourself.

8:14Buster Cherry To truly live so that you can inspire others to really step into their best selves. Give the gift of being a good example in a world that lacks them.

8:22Pastor Jeff Merry Christmas, everyone. Pastor Jeff's here. The Lord commands you to be bullish and have faith. Two thousand and twenty five years ago, Jesus was born in a manger on December 25 in a small town called Bethlehem. While most of the world didn't know the significance of this moment, it would change the trajectory of the world forever. Today, there is an announcement brewing and most of the world has no idea, but you know because you have faith.

8:57Pastor Jeff The God announcement is out there waiting to be released in order to bring the God candle. While the price actions look sad and manipulated by the forces of evil, have hope because it is Christmas. Jesus proves that hope prevails in the darkest times.

9:16Kailey Welch Hey, folks. This is Kayley. To finish up the special, I want to read to you Richard's article he published on Christmas day two thousand twenty three, which marked the first Christmas the bugle ever celebrated. To all a Merry Christmas from the Bugle by Richard Reeser. While individuals around the country are going into bankruptcy in order to fulfill fill the pressure to buy their loved ones presents, what a brilliant marketing strategy by corporate America. Let us remember the true meaning of Christmas. It is a holiday that is inherently religious, but I will spare you a sermon. A high level view of the birth of Christ gives you a battle between good and evil when it feels like all is lost, and the salvation of humanity lies in the hands of two poor parents and a helpless baby. A ruthless king has his army searching for that baby, killing all the newborn boys they could find in attempt to crush good. Days like these, when the world is at war, inflation is out of control. Politicians in Washington are no longer trying to hide their corruption, and it seems like there is no hope. It is important to remember the story of Christmas. A story so powerful that men fighting to kill each other on the front lines of World War one paused their fighting to remember that there is so much more to this world than dying needlessly for the parasitic ruling class. That you are an individual with value and dignity. And despite CIA led attempts to completely demoralize you through the media, you are worth more than just a slave to generate tax revenue for pedophiles. As we wrap up the very first year at the Bugle, we would like to thank you all for joining us on this incredible journey. The memes have been fantastic, and we promise they will only get better in 2024.

10:33Kailey Welch News outlets like the New York Times are competing with us every day to produce the best satire, and we firmly believe that we will be victorious. We will win, not because we are smarter or have more money. No. They have the money printers, politicians, and corporate rulers on their side, but we have hope and truth. Here at the Bugle, we believe that individuals have agency who can reject CIA mind control. We believe individuals can think for themselves and that when they do, they will refuse to turn back to a life of servitude to people who are objectively evil. In 2024, let's reject the authority of war criminals and use Bitcoin without permission. Let us remember that the most dangerous thing to the people who would seek to keep us in chains is those who have the courage to stand up in defiance. Make sure to encourage one another, but also to have fun making fun of statists and chain winners. Let us dream of a world where journalists like Assange are not in chains and Ross is free. A world of voluntary interactions and a hard money standard. A world where privacy is not unsurmountable, but is the default. Reject the surveillance state and the endless wars, not just because

11:36Kailey Welch it is the moral and correct thing to do, but because there is hope. The default state of the human soul is free, and it is time to return to the defaults. Now make sure to tell your family and friends that you love them. Encourage the people who stand besides you in this war for truth and justice. Remember those killed or imprisoned for attempting to help set humanity free and cherish your freedom. You are an individual with with a mind and never surrender that. Merry Christmas everyone. Obviously, a lot has changed with the Bugle since that first Christmas at the end of twenty twenty three. The world has changed dramatically since then, but our memes have gotten better and our momentum has grown. Thank you for sharing with us in all this, and I hope you listen to some really good Bitcoin podcasts together with your family around the fire. This is Kayley Welch signing off.

12:25Richard Greaser I want to thank you for tuning in to this year's Bugle Weekly Christmas special. If you are wandering out there alone, look for a candle in the window. It may be tough out there on the frontier, but you were built for this. Merry Christmas, everyone.
