It’s Christmas, but where’s Jesus? When did they kick Him out of His own birthday party, and how did St. Nick, Kris Kringle, and the Grinch who stole Christmas get invitations? And why are many Blacks still dreaming of a white Christmas? When we look into the history of America’s holiest day we may find some answers. And as usual for White American traditions we’ll start in Europe.

Where Did Christmas Start?

Since recorded time almost every agricultural society engaged in some sort of festive end of the year celebration. In Europe, the shortest day of the year, or winter solstice, was the cosmic event that drew the most revelers to the town square, but most everywhere else these activities were related to the period of abundance following the yearly harvest.

During the Middle Ages, Europe’s rulers tried to infuse a religious component—the birth of Christ—into those highly raucous and sexualized winter celebrations. They hoped this would serve to transition the peasantry from paganism to Christianity, even though they knew that the birthday of Jesus was actually three months earlier in the year. They also knew that the figure they most admired was Nimrod, the ruler who lived to undermine the civilization of Moses, and it was Nimrod who was born on December 25th. Nimrod is described as “the prototype of rebellion against the Almighty.” He married his own mother, and after his death she spread the tale that his spirit caused a full-grown evergreen tree to spring up overnight from a dead tree stump. She claimed that on each anniversary of his birth, Nimrod would visit the tree and leave gifts on it. This is the real origin of the Christmas tree. And this scheming European clergy, who were secret admirers of Nimrod and his ways, conflated the saintly Jesus with the devilish Nimrod, and inspired the gluttonous celebrations we now call Christmas.

Saint Nicholas, Jesus, & Racism

Saint Nicholas occupied several peculiar positions in Christian culture, including being the patron saint of school children, shipping, and pawn brokers, among other titles. Born in the fourth century in what is now Turkey, his legend would later find its way into America as Santa Claus—a mispronunciation of Saint Nicholas. We can see how they connected him to Jesus by an odd legend that gave him power to raise the dead. According to the story, an innkeeper killed three boys and cut up their bodies, intending to sell their remains as pickled pork. Nicholas happened upon the scene, supernaturally sensed the crime and reassembled the bodies and brought them back to life. It was this gruesome tradition that may have given him life-restoring parity with Jesus in European minds.

Racism was interwoven in this Christmas folklore through another disturbing tale. Nicholas’ function in the church was to judge the goodness or evil of the children in his domain. He would quiz them on their church lessons, rewarding them with candy and gifts, or chastising them with sticks or pieces of coal. He was accompanied by a sidekick named “Black Pete,” described by one scholar as a “hairy, chained, horned, blackened, devilish monster … clutching a gaping sack in his hairy claws.” Black Pete’s job was to glare at the children while Nicholas drilled them on their lessons. The menacing monster with African features would every now and again flash his enormous canines and leap toward the frightened children, threatening to beat them with his rod. Nicholas warned the bad children that this “Black Pete” would stuff the little transgressors into his sack only to be released at the next Christmas.

This punitive image of St. Nick softened over time in Europe and to this day they still hold events around the image of “Black Pete” with White actors in blackened faces wearing brightly-colored clown suits. It is probably “Black Pete” who is the inspiration for the popular Dr. Seuss tale “The Grinch Who Stole Christmas.”

The practice of giving gifts in the name of Saint Nicholas was frowned upon by the father of the Protestant church, Martin Luther, who then introduced Christkindlein—a messenger of Christ—as the gift-bringer. Again, through mispronunciation, Christkindlein came to be known as Kris Kringle, a name which is now used interchangeably with Santa.

Coming to America

Though “Black Pete” didn’t make the trans-Atlantic crossing to the “New World” with our chained African forbears, “Santa Claus” reached America in Dutch form along with other unseemly pagan customs. The Massachusetts Puritan Cotton Mather bitterly complained that this imported Christmas tradition mocked rather than honored Jesus: “[T]he Feast of Christ’s Nativity is spent in Reveling, Dicing, Carding, Masking, and in all Licentious Liberty … by Mad Mirth, by long Eating, by hard Drinking, by lewd Gaming, by rude Reveling. …” Often these European immigrants blackened their faces or disguised themselves as animals or even cross-dressed, presumably to maintain anonymity for much ruder acts, and similar accounts of the early Christmases abound, including one cleric who decried the transvestitism, the “Uncleanness and Debauchery,” as well as the rampant sexual orgies or “chambering.” Indeed, there was an annual increase in the number of births in the months of September and October. It got so bad that the Puritans actually outlawed Christmas in their settlement in 1659 and fined those who celebrated in any way. The holiday was reinstated in 1681 but not before it was roundly condemned as blasphemous and far-removed from the way of Jesus.

Christmas and Plantation Slavery

The Plantation South had its own reasons for promoting the Christmas mythology. In order to combat abolitionist rabblerousing, slave owners, with the help of Northern newspapers, promoted an idyllic garden vision of happy slaves enjoying a festive Christmas season. Traditionally, Christmas fell at a time when the end of harvesting idled the workers. The brutality of the overseers temporarily receded and the enslaved Africans came to regard these times as their only respite from the cruelty of plantation life.

They created their own distinctive traditions known by various names, including “John Canoeing,” “John Koonering,” or other similar terms. The festivities included singing, dancing, feasting, and dressing up in the White man’s cast-off clothes. The annual merrymaking served planters’ interests who promoted heavy drinking and partying as a pacifying hedge against the always imminent escapes and insurrections. One Georgia slaveowner wrote: “I have seen the jollity & mirth of the black population during the Christmas holidays. Never have I seen any class of people who appeared to enjoy more than do these Negroes…”

Selling Out Christmas Yet Again

Just as the early Christian leaders bargained with the truth of the birth of Christ, the burgeoning merchant class in America positioned themselves to make Christmas a bonanza of consumerism and boundless profits, and so Santa Claus was commandeered to be their portly pitchman. Beginning around 1880, advertisers began to encourage the purchase of manufactured rather than homemade gifts. Wrapping paper and Christmas cards were introduced and Christmas bonuses and “Christmas Club” bank accounts promoted the holiday as the season of boundless spending. As the Honorable Elijah Muhammad wrote: “The merchants’ pockets are made fat for Christmas—the tobacco factories, the beer and whisky traffic, and wine. … There is no holy worship on that day for him [Jesus].”

The fact that the biggest profiteers on Christ’s birthday are Jewish—in whose synagogues the name of Jesus cannot even be uttered—seems to concern no one. Jewish mega-marketers like Gimbels, Macys, Neiman Marcus, Sears, and many others all do their profitable best on this holiest day of the Christian year.

This Wall Street version of “Christmas spirit” has led to a growing Black Christian rejection of this profanation of Jesus’ life. They watch every year as his gifts to humanity are bargained away in favor of the image of a morbidly obese White Santa Claus from the North Pole, an idol whose jollity is driven solely by credit card debt. Celebrations like Kwanzaa, with its seven principles that are truly worthy of the name—Unity, Self-Determination, Collective Work and Responsibility, Cooperative Economics, Purpose, Creativity, and Faith—are gradually infusing more substantive meaning into end-of-the-year Black celebration culture. Certainly, Christmas as it is practiced in America is a strange European tradition that has gone out of its way to exclude Jesus, while generating a massive amount of Black consumer debt, and managing to add a few racist insults on the way. Is this anything that an awakened Black family ought to be involved in? Read the Honorable Elijah Muhammad’s teachings of Christmas (pages 173-81) in “Our Saviour Has Arrived.”

One of the most cherished American holidays is Thanksgiving, a day that Abraham Lincoln officially declared in 1863, in praise of “our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens.”

In the early 1900s, Gimbels and Macys saw dollar signs and commandeered the celebration, evicted the heavenly Father altogether, added a parade with Santa Claus, and the rest, as they say, is history.

Or is it?

Every American school child learns of the harvest feast where the friendly local Indians broke bread and shared turkey with the black-hatted, big-buckled European Pilgrims in a festival of interracial harmony and mutual respect. Yet, there is almost nothing true about this idyllic scenario—not even the turkey.

This comforting mythology has concealed some of the bloodiest acts of race hate in American history. Let us pull the stuffing out of this Thanksgiving myth and get down to the bones of the Thanksgiving idea, which has some harsh and disturbing truths.

First, let us look at these so-called Pilgrims. Most people don’t know that there were 102 British passengers on the 1620 voyage of the Mayflower, but those we now call the Pilgrims numbered only 35—the rest were an assortment of dregs, cutthroats, and criminals.

Their journey to Indian lands was financed by wealthy Englishmen who sought profits from the exploitation of the lumber and furs found there in abundance. The quest for “religious liberty” was hardly the concern of these investors and one would be hard-pressed to find God anywhere near the venture.

The “Pilgrim Fathers”—who, interestingly, called themselves Separatists, not Pilgrims—came to this new world with many more muskets than Bibles; indeed, they came ready to conquer—not to pray.

By the time the Mayflower arrived, the Indians, who had barely survived an earlier invasion of Europeans, shunned contact with these newcomers and retreated inland.

They were smart. As soon as the Europeans set foot upon the shore (there actually never was a Plymouth Rock), and before the Whites even saw their first Indian, they set about to pillage their surroundings:

• They found an Indian food storehouse and ransacked it, stealing the corn and a trap for hunting game.

• They desecrated the gravesite of an Indian child, stealing the valuable contents and throwing the body back.

• They broke into two Indian homes when the families were gone and stole their belongings.

To the Indians this was frighteningly familiar. Still, they tried to make peace with these strange and violent people from across the sea. The Indian Squanto had been kidnapped in an earlier British invasion and forcibly taken to Europe. Somehow, he made his way back to America, and, having learned English, he was sent out to “greet” the newcomers.

Despite the assistance of the Indian farmers the Pilgrim crop had failed miserably in 1621, but the Indians produced twenty acres of corn without which the colonists would have surely perished.

They held a feast and invited the Indian leader Massasoit, and it was Massasoit—not the Pilgrims—who then invited ninety or more of his fellow Indians. No turkey, cranberry sauce, or pumpkin pie was served; no prayers were offered and the Indians were not invited back.

The Pilgrims did however consume a good deal of beer. In fact, each Pilgrim drank at least a half-gallon of ale a day, which they preferred even to water. It may be about the only Thanksgiving tradition that has survived intact to this day.

But there is more troubling reality behind this interracial gathering. The Europeans erected an 11-foot-high wall around their entire settlement for the purpose of keeping the Indians out. Just days before the “feast,” a gang of Pilgrims actively sought to murder a local Indian leader.

They eventually killed and beheaded an Indian, brought the head to their Plymouth compound, where they impaled it on a wooden spike, and displayed it for many years.

By 1636, these Pilgrims had been joined by many more even “holier” European colonists known as Puritans, and their thirst for Indian blood could only be described as insatiable.

They trapped some 700 Pequot Indian men, women, and children near the mouth of the Mystic River and attacked them with unrelenting military force. Only a handful escaped and few prisoners were taken. They wrote proudly of the massacre:

“To see [the Indians] frying in the fire, and the streams of their blood quenching the same, and the stench was horrible; but the victory seemed a sweet sacrifice, and they gave praise thereof to God.” This event marked what was most likely the first actual Thanksgiving.

Soon, the European intruders were in a full-scale war with the Indians. A people who had for thousands of years been peaceable farmers were now forced into humiliating submission.

They struck out in 1675 with raids on several isolated frontier towns but the unrelenting aggression of the White man was too much to overcome. It took only a half a century for the Europeans to annihilate the Red nation—it must have been a record even for them.

Historian Douglas Edward Leach describes the bitter end: “The ruthless executions, the cruel sentences … were all aimed at the same goal—unchallengeable White supremacy in southern New England.”

When Captain Benjamin Church tracked down and murdered the Indian leader Metacomet, his body was cut into four parts and “left for the wolves.” His hands were cut off and sent to Boston and his head went to Plymouth where it was set upon a pole on Thanksgiving Day, 1676!

Metacomet’s nine-year-old son was destined for execution, the Puritan reasoning being that the offspring of the devil must pay for the sins of their father. He was instead shipped to the Caribbean to serve his life in slavery.

In the midst of the Holocaust of the Red Man, Massachusetts Governor Joseph Dudley declared in 1704 a “General Thanksgiving”—not to celebrate the brotherhood of man, but for “[God’s] infinite Goodness to extend His Favors … in defeating and disappointing … the Expeditions of the Enemy [Indians] against us, And the good Success given us against them, by delivering so many of them into our hands … .”

Just two years later one could reap about a $100 reward in Massachusetts for the scalp of an Indian. According to one scholar, “Hunting redskins became … a popular sport in New England, especially since prisoners were worth good money … .”

If this is the first time you have heard any of this history, don’t get mad at The Final Call. Ask your teachers why they didn’t tell you. Ask them what’s behind their other cherished holidays and traditions.

Try to enjoy your turkey.

In 1845, the great Black abolitionist and orator Frederick Douglass explained that these so-called holidays were “one of the grossest frauds committed upon the downtrodden slave.” He saw right through the false religious piety to the real economic motive of the celebrations:

“I believe them to be among the most effective means in the hands of the slaveholder in keeping down the spirit of insurrection. These holidays serve as … safety-valves, to carry off the rebellious spirit of enslaved humanity.”

The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad forthrightly challenged the Black man’s adoption of the White man’s holiday in his 1974 book “Our Saviour Has Arrived,” and no one has remarked more plainly on the hypocrisy of Christmas celebrants, who “pretend to love worshipping the prophet on the 25th day of December.”

“They stagger drunkenly all over the streets, campuses, and most of the homes and churches, with card games, dice and other games of chance and all kinds of whisky and beer—to celebrate that great prophet, with fighting and killing and eating swine flesh. Such is the day which they call the birthday of Jesus.”

But today, Blacks ignore this sage advice and follow the commandments of Macy’s and Wal-Mart, Target and Toys ‘R’ Us and fall further and further into debt and credit card subjection.

In fact, it seems that Black people walked off the plantation and into the department store. We went from standing on an auction block waiting to be sold to standing in the checkout line waiting to be fleeced.

Before the merchants cynically snatched Jesus from the Christians and exiled him to the North Pole, Blacks were at the forefront of truly celebrating Jesus’ life as a freedom fighter and revolutionary. Once upon a time our brothers and sisters suffering the physical chains of slavery had a different type of “yuletide” spirit.

And on Christmas, they asked themselves a question rarely asked in America: “On His birthday, what would Jesus do?” If He returned today, would He be swiping a credit card, or, as the Scripture says, fighting for the freedom of all human beings.

On Christmas Day in 1701, 15 Blacks on the tiny Caribbean Island of Antigua celebrated by rising up and giving the Caucasian sugar planter who enslaved them a present to remember: they hacked him to pieces—killed because of the manner he treated his female slaves.

The dead Major Samuel Martin was also the Speaker of the Antiguan Assembly. Their rebellion was short-lived, however; they were overpowered by the island’s well-armed militia. And though their dreams of freedom were frustrated, their spirited yuletide example permeated the colonial Caribbean.

Our Jamaican brothers and sisters weren’t waiting for Santa either. In 1831, under the command of a Black “house slave” named Samuel Sharpe, they rose up against the White oppressors.

A true believer in Jesus, our Baptist Brother Samuel used his insider position to secretly organize a peaceful Christmas strike among his fellow captives in order to win better working conditions. Word leaked out to the Whites, who violently responded, turning the peaceful action into a full-scale Christmas rebellion.

Sharpe’s forces grew steadily in number—some say to 40,000—and they traversed the island burning down nearly 160 large sugar plantations one by one. Within a week the rebels controlled the entire Western interior of Jamaica, including the mountainous regions. The rebels targeted property and not people, as shown by the fact that only 12 Whites were killed.

But the British responded with both their militia and their navy, and they massacred more than 200 of the freedom-seeking Blacks. Three hundred more Africans were systematically executed in a horrifying manner, along with Bro. Samuel Sharpe.

Now known in Jamaica as the 1831 Christmas Rebellion, it sent shockwaves through Britain, which ultimately decided to abolish slavery—not because of any awakened sympathy or morality, but because the Baptist Bro. Sharpe and his freedom-fighting rebel forces had made slavery too costly and thus unprofitable.

In 1492, Portuguese slave trader Christopher Columbus landed on Hispaniola (now Haiti and Dominican Republic), bringing with him slavery, disease, death, and destruction. He sailed off to his next indigenous victims but left his son Don Diego Colon in charge of the island, where he owned a major sugar plantation.

On Christmas day of 1521, 20 Africans of the Muslim Wolof people launched that island’s first slave rebellion. Taking advantage of the holiday lull, the Muslims gathered twenty more to their cause and tried to affect their escape.

They killed and captured those who tried to stop them and burned plantations as they made their way. The Europeans quickly responded in force and in a few days the rebellion was thwarted. The rebels were hanged along the roadway, their dead bodies serving as a warning to other Africans.

But as the Qur’an says (Chapter 2, verse 154) of those who are slain in the way of Allah, do not speak of them as dead. Because from 1521 onward, plantation owners ended the importation of Muslims to the island.

The strength and bravery of those Muslims in Hispaniola struck so much fear in the White man that their actions very likely saved untold numbers of Muslims back in Africa from becoming victims of the slave trade.

Much of what is under our Christmas trees is the result of handing over $20 bills etched with the portrait of President Andrew Jackson. But think over the irony of that holiday exchange. In the 1830s President Jackson was in a full-scale war with the Seminole Indians in the territory now known as Florida.

Our Indian Brothers and Sisters provided a refuge for escaped Africans and Jackson intended to end that Black–Red Alliance. On Christmas of 1835, Africans and Seminoles launched the St. John Rebellion against the region’s sugar plantations. One Caucasian official sounded the alarm:

“If a sufficient military force … is not sent … the whole frontier may be laid waste by a combination of the Indians, Indian Negroes & the Negroes on the plantations—It is useless to mince this question.”

A Jewish soldier named Myer M. Cohen was a leader of the force sent to destroy the Seminoles and return the Africans to slavery. He reported that the freedom fighters were so rapid in their movements that within five days they had burned and destroyed several plantations.

Freeing 45 slaves from one; 180 from another; 80 and then 300 from the two others. The Seminole wars lasted for many years and ultimately succumbed to defeat.

That mighty Black–Red alliance is one of the only authentic alliances Blacks have ever had in America, and it is one sealed in blood.

Harriet Tubman was not waiting for Donner or Blitzen. On Christmas Day, 1854, she was in Dorchester County, Maryland, in secret assembly with seven enslaved Africans whose captor was considered “the worst man in the country.”

Two of those were Sis. Harriet’s own blood brothers and she came to lead them out of bondage—she would eventually lead 300 Africans out of American slavery. Hundreds of miles they traveled, hiding in ditches and caves in the day, sneaking through forests and fording through streams in the night.

She was ever watchful of the roving bands of Whites—called paddyrollers—who with their bloodhounds watched out for escapees and sought to earn the bounties the captured runaways would bring. 

Frederick Douglass described his own escape from slavery: “At every gate through which we were to pass we saw a watchman, at every ferry a guard; on every bridge a sentinel and in every wood a patrol. We were hemmed in upon every side.”

But Harriet Tubman, even with a reward of $12,000 on her head (that’s $300,000 today!), kept asking herself, “What would Jesus do?” and she persevered Northward.

The isolated network of houses of free Blacks that made up the Underground Railroad provided some respite, but the abhorrent Fugitive Slave Law deputized every White citizen—North and South—making them into legal slave catchers.

Ultimately, Sister Harriet and her companions crossed the bridge at Niagara Falls and made it into Canada, where the law gave Blacks a measure of freedom. Their Christmas song was true: 

Glory to God and Jesus too,
One more soul is safe!
Oh, go and carry the news,
One more soul got safe!

Every year on Christmas—indeed, every single day—we must continue to ask ourselves that profound question, “On His birthday, What would our Jesus do?” Our Jesus is the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad who taught that spending ourselves into debt to serve a false holiday will never be in our interest.

On every Christmas Day the Muslims must be found working hard to unite our people to pool our resources to build something for self, and educating and qualifying ourselves for independence.

“Come follow me,” he said in Message to the Blackman, “and I will show you how to do this without having to shed a drop of blood. … This chance can be had if you go about it in the right way.”

A Black person wearing a Harvard brand has always earned the special attention of the masses, mostly because of the White custom of unilaterally elevating its Black matriculants to race leadership.

So, when Claudine Gay—a Black woman—became Harvard’s 30th president, Black academia counted it as a major advancement. But once President Gay tried to make that Cambridge campus safe for open actual debate on the issue of Palestine, her tenure became the shortest on record—exactly six months and a day.

So, what is Harvard University to Black folks? Maybe it is time to examine the legacy of this institution that the Rev. Adam Clayton Powell confidently asserted had “ruined more Negroes than bad whiskey.” A brief racial history of America’s intellectual Vatican puts its special role, and Powell’s biting assessment, in proper context.

Harvard College was founded in 1636 (just six years after the settlement of Boston) with the intent of academically assisting the clergy in their attempts to brainwash the Massachusetts Indians into accepting White European customs and religious beliefs. In this they were wholly unsuccessful, having only graduated one Indian, who died just a year later.

Once conversion failed, the ol’ Pilgrim/Puritan standby of massacres and mayhem was employed, and the Red man was no longer welcome at Harvard. Thus, in 1698 Harvard tore down its “Indian College” and used the bricks to construct the new Stoughton College—named for the family of the man who has been “credited” with the annihilation of the Pequot Indians in 1637.

Quiet as it’s kept, the slave trade was the primary economic force in the development of Boston’s elite, and most of that class were trained at Harvard. Puritan minister and president of Harvard (1685–1701) Increase Mather held African slaves. Benjamin Wadsworth, president from 1725–1737, was a member of one of the leading slaveholding families in New England. “Servants are very Wicked,” he once wrote, “when they are LAZY and IDLE in their Master’s Service. The Slothful Servant is justly called Wicked … .”

In 1756, the First Parish Church at Cambridge was made off-limits to Blacks when Harvard officials objected to their sitting in the gallery. In 1773 Harvard hosted a debate in which Blacks were defined as “a conglomerate of child, idiot and madman.” Many of the early ship-owning slave traders of New England sent their children to Harvard, as did many of the Southern plantation owners. The grand wizard of the Massachusetts Ku Klux Klan graduated from Harvard in 1853.

One of the most viciously anti-Black newspapers in Boston history, the Courier, was run by Harvard grad George Lunt. Lunt hated both abolitionism and abolitionists and swiftly gained an editorial reputation for being a defender of slavery and its attendant evils. He was convinced that “the holding of Negroes in slavery, in this country or any other, is a question of circumstances, and not of morality at all.”

After all, “The Negroes were perfectly happy in their condition of slavery in the South. They were not only happy but proud of it.” And if they were let go, it would prove to be an “intolerable” “burden,” the result being “helpless, irresponsible creatures … incapable by nature, of the independent action demanded by a civilized community.”

It only gets worse from there. A host of paragons of race hate acquired their intellectual bearings at this Cambridge center of White supremacy, including many icons of American history. John Adams, Samuel Adams, Josiah Quincy, Ralph Waldo Emerson, and Theodore Roosevelt, to name a few, have proudly ascended to the upper echelon of America’s racial villainy. 

John Adams “shuddered at the doctrine” of racial equality and instead spoke in terms of “quieting the Indians forever.”  Samuel Adams and Josiah Quincy both enslaved Black Africans. Divinity school graduate Ralph Waldo Emerson asserted matter-of-factly that “it is better to hold the Negro one inch below water than one inch above it.” 

Theodore Roosevelt voiced the common Harvard creed that Blacks were backward savages who needed strong White rule to bring them into civilization. The Africans, this Harvard-trained American president believed, were “ape-like, naked savages, who dwell in the woods and prey on creatures not much wilder or lower than themselves.”

Harvard, a pillar of the Brahmin establishment, “did its best to stifle anti-slavery [legislation].” When expelled German scholar Charles Follen sought refuge in America, he found it on the Harvard faculty. But when he became an abolitionist in 1833, he was immediately fired. When Harvard graduate Charles Sumner criticized slavery in a speech to the student body in 1848, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow recorded the reaction: “the shouts and hisses and the vulgar interruptions grated on my ears.”

Two of the college’s honorable presidents, Jared Sparks and Cornelius Felton, were strong supporters of the notorious Fugitive Slave Bill, which aligned the northern “free states” with the Southern slave owners in apprehending runaway Black slaves. When a Southern slaveholder came up to a Boston court to use the fugitive slave law to reclaim “his slave” Anthony Burns, Harvard students acted as the slaveholder’s bodyguards.

Distinguished Harvard graduate Lemuel Shaw was considered to be the most influential state judge in American history. Shaw considered Blacks who escaped from chattel slavery to be “fugitives from labor” and ordered their immediate return. When two Black women were arrested in 1836 as escaped slaves, Shaw allowed the slave catchers to correct their faulty warrant so that they could re-arrest them right in his courtroom. The Blacks who came to court refused to stand by and allow for this outrage and attempted to rescue the women. Shaw himself tried to stop them before he was knocked to the floor during the successful escape.

As chief justice, Shaw delivered the unanimous opinion of the Massachusetts Supreme Court which upheld the legality of school segregation, providing the basis for the doctrine of “separate but equal”—America’s official racial policy until 1954. Between 1872 and 1949 at least 11 state courts cited Shaw’s opinion to justify their own state’s segregationist policies. (In 1956, when Virginia Senator Robert Byrd read his infamous “Defiance: The Southern Manifesto,” he cited Shaw’s opinion to buttress his last stand against the Supreme Court’s desegregation order.)

The many well-to-do Harvard students from Southern plantation families did not have to long for the amenities of their beloved slavocracy: upon their arrival at the University, Whites were given a Black servant they euphemistically called a “scout.” All the while, Blacks served Harvard’s White faculty and enrollees as janitors, custodians, and waiters.

The first record of these “scouts” at Harvard is noted by Samuel F. Batchelder, in Bits of Harvard History, as he contemptuously recounts the traumas of Harvard’s unpaid, overworked “ebony faced” “college coons” and “darkeys,” a “tribe” of “dusky child[ren] of nature” with “rolling white eyeballs.”

Nonetheless, Blacks were always seeking to “better” themselves and attempted to break through Harvard’s customary racial wickedness. When three Black men attended lectures at the Medical School in 1850, groups of White students protested their presence and prevailed upon the faculty to expel them.

Harvard President Charles Eliot (term 1869–1909) stated his belief in separate educational facilities for Blacks and Whites and suggested that Harvard may implement such a policy. He maintained—quite accurately—that the White man in the North is no less averse to the mingling of races than his Southern counterpart.

Race hater Louis Agassiz (1807–1873), the dean of the Nazi-adopted philosophy of scientific racism, warned fellow Whites: “Let us beware of granting too much to the negro race … lest it become necessary hereafter to deprive them of some of the privileges which they may use to their own and our detriment.”

Agassiz found his views of the Black man warmly received and echoed by Harvard deans Henry Eustis, who considered Blacks “little above beasts,” and Nathaniel Shaler, who believed Blacks “unfit for an independent place in a civilized state.” According to its website, the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Harvard University was founded by Agassiz, and though he died a century and a half ago, it took the museum until 2022 to “soundly reject” his racial views.

Up until then, it had maintained that Agassiz was “a great systematist, paleontologist and renowned teacher of natural history.” It took a lawsuit filed in 2019 by a descendant of one of Agassiz’s Black victims, Tamara Lanier, to force the recent tepid response from Harvard.

The South’s greatest crime, according to Theodore Roosevelt, was not instituting slavery but bringing so many Africans within America’s borders, creating an insoluble problem for Whites. There is one problem Black slaves did resolve for the Roosevelts: the president’s mother, Mittie, sold four of her own slaves in 1855 just to pay for her wedding to Teddy’s father.

Roosevelt opined extensively on the utter inferiority of the Black race and the responsibilities of over-lordship that were assigned to the White man. His presidency (1901–1909) saw rampant lynchings and Jim Crow policies but offered only weak condemnation and no executive action.

In 1922–23, President A. Lawrence Lowell barred Blacks from living in the freshman dormitories saying, “We have not thought it possible to compel men of different races to reside together.” Around that time, Harvard’s venerable newspaper, the Crimson, excitedly announced the presence of the school’s very own Ku Klux Klan chapter! Without a trace of indignation, it trumpeted the KKK’s campus membership drive.

The paper even promised to respect the secret identities of the KKK leaders and announced the possibility of the establishment of the branch of the KKK called Kamelia, the female KKK, at Radcliffe, the women’s school founded by Louis Agassiz’s wife. By 1960 Harvard was writing letters to White students asking if they had problems with being assigned a Black roommate. (Black students received no such “courtesy.”)

After some loud but ineffectual liberal 1970s campus activism, Harvard pretended to reform itself, but by the 1980s Bell Curve authors Charles Murray and Richard Herrnstein—both Harvard alums—successfully restored Harvard’s White-hooded intellectual tradition, asserting that IQ is genetically determined.

With every successive generation, since its founding four centuries ago, Harvard’s public-relations specialists successfully cleanse it of its truly odious racial legacy. The firing of Dr. Claudine Gay has only exposed Harvard for what it always was and forever intends to be.

Where Did Christmas Start?

Since recorded time almost every agricultural society engaged in some sort of festive end of the year celebration. In Europe, the shortest day of the year, or winter solstice, was the cosmic event that drew the most revelers to the town square, but most everywhere else these activities were related to the period of abundance following the yearly harvest.

During the Middle Ages, Europe’s rulers tried to infuse a religious component—the birth of Christ—into those highly raucous and sexualized winter celebrations. They hoped this would serve to transition the peasantry from paganism to Christianity, even though they knew that the birthday of Jesus was actually three months earlier in the year.

They also knew that the figure they most admired was Nimrod, the ruler who lived to undermine the civilization of Moses, and it was Nimrod who was born on December 25th. Nimrod is described as “the prototype of rebellion against the Almighty.” He married his own mother, and after his death she spread the tale that his spirit caused a full-grown evergreen tree to spring up overnight from a dead tree stump.

She claimed that on each anniversary of his birth, Nimrod would visit the tree and leave gifts on it. This is the real origin of the Christmas tree. And this scheming European clergy, who were secret admirers of Nimrod and his ways, conflated the saintly Jesus with the devilish Nimrod, and inspired the gluttonous celebrations we now call Christmas.

Saint Nicholas, Jesus, & Racism

Saint Nicholas occupied several peculiar positions in Christian culture, including being the patron saint of school children, shipping, and pawn brokers, among other titles. Born in the fourth century in what is now Turkey, his legend would later find its way into America as Santa Claus—a mispronunciation of Saint Nicholas. We can see how they connected him to Jesus by an odd legend that gave him power to raise the dead.

According to the story, an innkeeper killed three boys and cut up their bodies, intending to sell their remains as pickled pork. Nicholas happened upon the scene, supernaturally sensed the crime and reassembled the bodies and brought them back to life. It was this macabre tradition that may have given him life-restoring parity with Jesus in European minds.

Racism was interwoven in this Christmas folklore through another disturbing tale. Nicholas’ function in the church was to judge the goodness or evil of the children in his domain. He would quiz them on their church lessons, rewarding them with candy and gifts, or chastising them with sticks or pieces of coal.

He was accompanied by a sidekick named “Black Pete,” described by one scholar as a “hairy, chained, horned, blackened, devilish monster … clutching a gaping sack in his hairy claws.” Black Pete’s job was to glare at the children while Nicholas drilled them on their lessons.

The menacing monster with African features would every now and again flash his enormous canines and leap toward the frightened children, threatening to beat them with his rod. Nicholas warned the bad children that this “Black Pete” would stuff the little transgressors into his sack only to be released at the next Christmas.

This punitive image of St. Nick softened over time in Europe and to this day they still hold events around the image of “Black Pete” with White actors in blackened faces wearing brightly-colored clown suits. It is probably “Black Pete” who is the inspiration for the popular Dr. Seuss tale “The Grinch Who Stole Christmas.”

The practice of giving gifts in the name of Saint Nicholas was frowned upon by the father of the Protestant church, Martin Luther, who then introduced Christkindlein—a messenger of Christ—as the gift-bringer. Again, through mispronunciation, Christkindlein came to be known as Kris Kringle, a name which is now used interchangeably with Santa.

Coming to America

Though “Black Pete” didn’t make the trans-Atlantic crossing to the “New World” with our chained African forbears, “Santa Claus” reached America in Dutch form along with other unseemly pagan customs. The Massachusetts Puritan Cotton Mather bitterly complained that this imported Christmas tradition mocked rather than honored Jesus:

“[T]he Feast of Christ’s Nativity is spent in Reveling, Dicing, Carding, Masking, and in all Licentious Liberty … by Mad Mirth, by long Eating, by hard Drinking, by lewd Gaming, by rude Reveling. ”

Often these European immigrants blackened their faces or disguised themselves as animals or even cross-dressed, presumably to maintain anonymity for much ruder acts, and similar accounts of the early Christmases abound, including one cleric who decried the transvestitism, the “Uncleanness and Debauchery,” as well as the rampant sexual orgies or “chambering.”

Indeed, there was an annual increase in the number of births in the months of September and October. It got so bad that the Puritans actually outlawed Christmas in their settlement in 1659 and fined those who celebrated in any way. The holiday was reinstated in 1681 but not before it was roundly condemned as blasphemous and far-removed from the way of Jesus.

Christmas and Plantation Slavery

The Plantation South had its own reasons for promoting the Christmas mythology. In order to combat abolitionist rabblerousing, slave owners, with the help of Northern newspapers, promoted an idyllic garden vision of happy slaves enjoying a festive Christmas season.

Traditionally, Christmas fell at a time when the end of harvesting idled the workers. The brutality of the overseers temporarily receded and the enslaved Africans came to regard these times as their only respite from the cruelty of plantation life.

They created their own distinctive traditions known by various names, including “John Canoeing,” “John Koonering,” or other similar terms. The festivities included singing, dancing, feasting, and dressing up in the White man’s cast-off clothes.

The annual merrymaking served planters’ interests who promoted heavy drinking and partying as a pacifying hedge against the always imminent escapes and insurrections. One Georgia slaveowner wrote: “I have seen the jollity & mirth of the black population during the Christmas holidays. Never have I seen any class of people who appeared to enjoy more than do these Negroes…”

Selling Out Christmas Yet Again

Just as the early Christian leaders bargained with the truth of the birth of Christ, the burgeoning merchant class in America positioned themselves to make Christmas a bonanza of consumerism and boundless profits, and so Santa Claus was commandeered to be their portly pitchman. Beginning around 1880, advertisers began to encourage the purchase of manufactured rather than homemade gifts.

Wrapping paper and Christmas cards were introduced and Christmas bonuses and “Christmas Club” bank accounts promoted the holiday as the season of boundless spending. As the Honorable Elijah Muhammad wrote: “The merchants’ pockets are made fat for Christmas—the tobacco factories, the beer and whisky traffic, and wine.

There is no holy worship on that day for [Jesus].” The fact that the biggest profiteers on Christ’s birthday are Jewish—in whose synagogues the name of Jesus cannot even be uttered—seems to concern no one. Jewish mega-marketers like Gimbels, Macys, Neiman Marcus, Sears, and many others all do their profitable best on this holiest day of the Christian year.

This Wall Street version of “Christmas spirit” has led to a growing Black Christian rejection of this profanation of Jesus’ life. They watch every year as His gifts to humanity are bargained away in favor of the image of a morbidly obese White North Pole, an idol whose jollity is driven solely by credit card debt.

Celebrations like Kwanzaa, with its seven principles that are truly worthy of the name—Unity, Self-Determination, Collective Work and Responsibility, Cooperative Economics, Purpose, Creativity, and Faith—are gradually infusing more substantive meaning into end-of-the-year Black celebration culture.

Certainly, Christmas as it is practiced in America is a strange European tradition that has gone out of its way to exclude the Saviour Himself, while generating a massive amount of Black consumer debt, and managing to add a few racist insults on the way. Is this anything that an awakened Black family ought to be involved in? Read the Honorable Elijah Muhammad’s teachings of Christmas (pages 173-81) in “Our Saviour Has Arrived.”

Or is it?

Every American school child learns of the harvest feast where the friendly local Indians broke bread and shared turkey with the black-hatted, big-buckled European Pilgrims in a festival of interracial harmony and mutual respect. Yet, there is almost nothing true about this idyllic scenario—not even the turkey.

This comforting mythology has concealed some of the bloodiest acts of race hate in American history. Let us pull the stuffing out of this Thanksgiving myth and get down to the bones of the Thanksgiving idea, which has some harsh and disturbing truths.

First, let us look at these so-called Pilgrims. Most people don’t know that there were 102 British passengers on the 1620 voyage of the Mayflower, but those we now call the Pilgrims numbered only 35—the rest were an assortment of dregs, cutthroats, and criminals. Their journey to Indian lands was financed by wealthy Englishmen who sought profits from the exploitation of the lumber and furs found there in abundance.

The quest for “religious liberty” was hardly the concern of these investors and one would be hard-pressed to find God anywhere near the venture. The “Pilgrim Fathers”—who, interestingly, called themselves Separatists, not Pilgrims—came to this new world with many more muskets than bibles; indeed, they came ready to conquer—not to pray. By the time the Mayflower arrived, the Indians, who had barely survived an earlier invasion of Europeans, shunned contact with these newcomers and retreated inland.

They were smart. As soon as the Europeans set foot upon the shore (there actually never was a Plymouth Rock), and before the Whites even saw their first Indian, they set about to pillage their surroundings:

• They found an Indian food storehouse and ransacked it, stealing the corn and a trap for hunting game.

• They desecrated the gravesite of an Indian child, stealing the valuable contents and throwing the body back.

• They broke into two Indian homes when the families were gone and stole their belongings.

To the Indians this was frighteningly familiar. Still, they tried to make peace with these strange and violent people from across the sea. The Indian Squanto had been kidnapped in an earlier British invasion and forcibly taken to Europe. Somehow, he made his way back to America, and, having learned English, he was sent out to “greet” the newcomers.

Despite the assistance of the Indian farmers the Pilgrim crop had failed miserably in 1621, but the Indians produced twenty acres of corn without which the colonists would have surely perished. They held a feast and invited the Indian leader Massasoit, and it was Massasoit—not the Pilgrims—who then invited ninety or more of his fellow Indians.

No turkey, cranberry sauce, or pumpkin pie was served; no prayers were offered and the Indians were not invited back. The Pilgrims did however consume a good deal of beer. In fact, each Pilgrim drank at least a half-gallon of ale a day, which they preferred even to water. It may be about the only Thanksgiving tradition that has survived intact to this day.

But there is more troubling reality behind this interracial gathering. The Europeans erected an 11-foot-high wall around their entire settlement for the purpose of keeping the Indians out. Just days before the “feast,” a gang of Pilgrims actively sought to murder a local Indian leader. They eventually killed and beheaded an Indian, brought the head to their Plymouth compound, where they impaled it on a wooden spike, and displayed it for many years.

By 1636, these Pilgrims had been joined by many more even “holier” European colonists known as Puritans, and their thirst for Indian blood could only be described as insatiable. They trapped some 700 Pequot Indian men, women, and children near the mouth of the Mystic River and attacked them with unrelenting military force.

Only a handful escaped and few prisoners were taken. They wrote proudly of the massacre: “To see [the Indians] frying in the fire, and the streams of their blood quenching the same, and the stench was horrible; but the victory seemed a sweet sacrifice, and they gave praise thereof to God.” This event marked what was most likely the first actual Thanksgiving.

Soon, the European intruders were in a full-scale war with the Indians. A people who had for thousands of years been peaceable farmers were now forced into humiliating submission. They struck out in 1675 with raids on several isolated frontier towns but the unrelenting aggression of the White man was too much to overcome.

It took only a half a century for the Europeans to annihilate the Red nation—it must have been a record even for them. Historian Douglas Edward Leach describes the bitter end: “The ruthless executions, the cruel sentences … were all aimed at the same goal—unchallengeable White supremacy in southern New England.”

When Captain Benjamin Church tracked down and murdered the Indian leader Metacomet, his body was cut into four parts and “left for the wolves.” His hands were cut off and sent to Boston and his head went to Plymouth where it was set upon a pole on Thanksgiving Day, 1676! Metacomet’s nine-year-old son was destined for execution, the Puritan reasoning being that the offspring of the devil must pay for the sins of their father. He was instead shipped to the Caribbean to serve his life in slavery.

In the midst of the Holocaust of the Red Man, Massachusetts Governor Joseph Dudley declared in 1704 a “General Thanksgiving”—not to celebrate the brotherhood of man, but for “[God’s] infinite Goodness to extend His Favors … In defeating and disappointing … the Expeditions of the Enemy [Indians] against us, And the good Success given us against them, by delivering so many of them into our hands … .”

Just two years later one could reap about a $100 reward in Massachusetts for the scalp of an Indian. According to one scholar, “Hunting redskins became … a popular sport in New England, especially since prisoners were worth good money … .”

If this is the first time you have heard any of this history, don’t get mad at The Final Call. Ask your teachers why they didn’t tell you. Ask them what’s behind their other cherished holidays and traditions.

Try to enjoy your turkey.

In February 2020, at the onset of the world crisis known as COVID-19, The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan spoke to the world about the unraveling of the world of Satan—the United States of America.

“You see the country cascading downward. You see the moral fiber of America getting into the gutter. Who wants a membership in a house of whores? Bought-and-paid-for leaders. Nobody can stand up if the enemy says, ‘you don’t stand up for that.’ Satan is having a field day with America. Evil has been made fair seeming.” 

Less than a month later, in an unprecedented and coordinated assault, the media, the government, and the medical industry began telling a frightening tale of a mysterious, foreign, novel “virus” that was infecting millions and killing thousands. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) reported rising death statistics that multiplied daily, even hourly.

Infections doubled; and then tripled. A wild virus had somehow jumped from bats into humans, the CDC claimed, and it was so frighteningly deadly that if anyone were to survive, everyone on earth would need to be injected with a special serum being rushed into production in record time. They called it a “vaccine.”

By December 2020, the product was ready. Over the next six months, millions succumbed to Satan’s propaganda onslaught and were panicked into receiving at least one dose; many got two. But millions more relied on their God-given intelligence and were sufficiently clearheaded to hear and obey the warning and directive from the most trusted voice on Earth—The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan—describing the so-called “life-saving” serum as “toxic waste.”

Calling out the leaders behind this diabolical scheme on July 4, 2020, he said:

“They’re … now plotting to give seven billion five hundred million people a vaccination. Dr. Anthony Fauci, Bill Gates and Melinda, you want to depopulate the earth? What the hell gives you that right? Who are you to sit down with your billions and talk about who can live and who should die? That’s why your world is coming to an end quickly because you have sentenced billions to death. But God is now sentencing you to the death that you are sentencing to others.”

Then he turned to Black people and to the world and warned, “You have no right to trust them…Don’t take their vaccines.” mRNA Vaccine Original Inventor Warned FDA of Dangers but ‘They blew me off’

In the wake of Minister Farrakhan’s words, the experimental COVID-19 “vaccines” have resulted in an unprecedented number of deaths and injuries, killing more people than all vaccines administered in the United States from 1997 to 2013 combined. In addition, top scientists involved in the manufacture of the mRNA technology at the core of the Pfizer and Moderna products are warning people to stay away from these so-called vaccines.

Now, the most damning defection from the COVID-Depopulation Mania has occurred. The very inventor of the new technology that is used in making all of the COVID-19 “vaccines” is publicly warning America and the world about the damage those “vaccines” are causing to those who caved to the pressure to bare their arms.

Dr. Robert Malone invented the mRNA and DNA technology used in the experimental serum “vaccines” and he is now saying that the alarming side effects they cause—such as bleeding disorders, blood clots, and heart problems—are NOT WORTH THE RISK:

“By way of background, please understand that I am a vaccine specialist and advocate, as well as the original inventor of the mRNA vaccine (and DNA vaccine) core platform technology. But I also have extensive training in bioethics from the University of Maryland, Walter Reed Army Institute of Research, and Harvard Medical School, and advanced clinical development and regulatory affairs are core competencies for me.”

In a lengthy interview Dr. Malone warned that data now suggests that certain toxic (poisonous) chemical ingredients of the “vaccines” roam freely in the body and they seem to accumulate in the ovaries of the woman and the testes of the man. Women who get the COVID “vaccine” within the first 20 weeks of pregnancy are seeing a miscarriage rate of 82%! The normal rate is 10%.

Equally alarming, a study shows that boys and men between the ages of 16 and 24 who have been vaccinated have 25 times the rate of myocarditis (heart inflammation) than normal.

Further, says Malone, the censoring of scientists discussing this issue is entirely unscientific and undermines critical medical understanding. Censorship may be responsible for even more unnecessary deaths.

Dr. Malone is bringing his concerns to the public because he warned officials of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration about the dangers posed by the COVID-19 “vaccines” many months ago, but, according to Malone, “they blew me off.” The vaccine makers specifically claimed that they designed the injections so that the toxic “spike proteins” in the shots would remain at the injection site (upper arm) and not float about freely.

But the mounting reports of these serious side effects prove that these were deadly lies, and it appears that the “vaccines” have now been responsible for at least 6,000 deaths and thousands of injuries, according to the CDC’s own data.¹

Further, Dr. Malone says that the entire COVID-19 program constitutes a human guinea pig experiment that violates the Nuremberg Code of medical ethics that were adopted after the world became aware of the Nazi medical atrocities.

“… as these vaccines are not yet market authorized (licensed), coercion of human subjects to participate in medical experimentation is specifically forbidden….In human subject clinical research, in most countries of the world this is considered a bright line that cannot be crossed. So, now we are told to waive that requirement without even so much as open public discussion being allowed?”

Dr. Joseph Mercola has been at the forefront of the fight to warn the world about the dangers of the government’s COVID-19 campaign. He questions the need for a vaccine at all, especially for groups that have a miniscule mortality risk from COVID-19:

“Children appear naturally immune against COVID-19 and have been shown to not be disease vectors, and people under 40 have an infection fatality ratio of just 0.01%. That means their chance of survival is 99.99%, which is about as good as it gets. Yet all of these incredibly low-risk groups are urged and even inappropriately incentivized to get vaccinated….

“We’ve seen a clear suppression of information showing that there are not just one but several effective remedies that could reduce the risk of COVID-19 to a number of cohorts down to virtually zero. Examples include hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin, both of which have been safely used for decades in many millions of people around the world.”

“But when it comes to hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin, they suppressed the use of these drugs even though they are extremely safe when used in the appropriate doses and have been shown to work really well in many dozens of studies.”

Dr. Roger Hodkinson, one of the world’s leading virologists, was quite blunt:

“I can assure you that there are a vast number of physicians who do not buy into this idiocy. Physicians who are well trained can see through this immediately as so transparently stupid. It’s medical idiocy of the most grotesque degree that’s going on…”

Dr. Hodkinson confirms that the dangerous COVID-19 serum is having devastating effects on the reproductive organs:

“And that circulation takes the spike protein everywhere [in the body], including the placenta of women who happen to be pregnant at the time, which is a one-time hit for that particular pregnancy, probably not for subsequent ones. But there is also potential for a hit on the testes, which of course is not a one-time hit, it could be a permanent hit….In a world where we know that sperm counts have dropped 40 percent over the last 10 or 20 years— a massive unexplained drop in sperm counts—we don’t need some additional hits on male fertility.”

Steve Kirsch is a high-tech entrepreneur and medical philanthropist. He shared the interview with Dr. Malone:

“It is baffling that the CDC says the vaccine is safe for pregnant women when it is so clear that this is not the case. For example, one of our family friends is a victim of this. She miscarried at 25 weeks … She had her first shot 7 weeks ago, and her second shot 4 weeks ago. The baby had severe bleeding of the brain and other disfigurements.

Her gynecologist had never seen anything like that before in her life. They called in a specialist who said it was probably a genetic defect (because everyone buys into the narrative that the vaccine is safe it is always ruled out as a possible cause).”

Kirsch said that doctors are reluctant to report these horrifying side effects to the CDC’s Vaccine Adverse Effects Reporting System (VAERS); therefore, scientists cannot accurately assess the damage this mRNA serum is causing.

According to Kirsch, the rate of death from COVID-19 shots exceeds that of more than 70 vaccines combined over the past 30 years, and it’s about 500 times deadlier than the seasonal flu vaccine, which historically has been the most hazardous. Kirsch’s own calculations are frightening:

“I recently learned that these vaccines have likely killed over 25,800 Americans (which I confirmed three different ways) and disabled at least 1,000,000 more. And we’re only halfway to the finish line. We need to PAUSE these vaccines NOW before more people are killed.

“Based on what I now know about the miniscule vaccine benefits (approximately a 0.3% reduction in absolute risk), side effects (including death), current COVID rates, and the success rate of early treatment protocols, the answer I would give today to anyone asking me for advice as to whether to take any of the current vaccines would be, ‘Just say NO.’”

While scientists are speaking up more about the data and the dangers, they are unraveling a larger plot that proves that none of this deadly result is a “mistake” or “bad planning” or “unforeseen.” These untrustworthy leaders have deceived millions into allowing toxic waste into their bloodstreams, a dangerous poison that was never intended to fight any “virus.”

The COVID-19 “vaccine” is doing EXACTLY as planned—target the victims’ reproductive organs, prevent them from reproducing, to ultimately cull masses of “useless eaters” from the planet Earth.

How does SEPARATION sound to you now?

“My Teacher taught me: take a bath at least once a year, in the Sun.  Go someplace where you can take your clothes off and turn and turn again.  And when you’ve turned enough, your body has accepted billions of vitamins into it.  And when the day of disease comes, the vitamins rise up to defend us against disease. That’s why in the Caribbean they’re not worried about a pandemic down there.”

The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan
National Leadership Summit   December 12, 2020

The value of the Sun to our health is actually immeasurable. Its role in keeping us healthy is so dramatic that if the Black man and woman really took advantage of its presence, we may never need to see another doctor or take another pill. The Messenger spoke eloquently to this need to wean ourselves off the pharmaceutical poisons, in his monumental book, How to Eat To Live:

“Fasting is a greater cure of our ills—both mental and physical—than all of the drugs of the earth combined into one bottle or a billion bottles. Allah (God), in the Person of Master Fard Muhammad, has taught me that fasting, with the right kind of food, is the cure for our ills. He has said to me that there is no cure in drugs and medicine. And this the world is now learning. We can take medicine all of our lives until it kills us (yet, we are still ailing with the same old diseases).

When we were eating the right food in the right way, we had no doctor bills and no medical bills. There were no medicines to be found in our medicine cabinets. However, as soon as we changed and began to eat between meals (24 hours), we began to call on the doctor and his drugs—and it brought about one complaint after another.”

Certainly, then, regulating our eating habits puts us on the road to true rejuvenation and optimum health, and frees us from the slavery of prescription drugs. And as our Minister Farrakhan emphatically points out, The Messenger added a critical part of his life-sustaining prescription—the SUN.

The words lifted above from the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan, form a powerful observation about the COVID-19 vaccine; a laboratory-created bio-weapon that the white man has released to reduce the world population.  The aim is to destroy the Black man, but those who are in those sun-drenched islands have been largely unaffected by the “plandemic”.

Since the beginning of America’s mass murder initiative, the Caribbean has seen negligible mortality. And even in those islands with higher “death” totals, it is not known whether the victims were kept from known safe and effective treatments like ivermectin, or whether they were suffering from other life-threatening co-morbidities.

We can’t be entirely sure that they in fact died from “covid disease,” as the so-called COVID-19 tests are notoriously inaccurate. So, the published mortality statistics have been so horribly manipulated to induce worldwide panic and fear that they are almost totally unreliable. Nonetheless, the SUN appears to have protected the sun people of the Caribbean from the plotting of the people of the dark:

Keep in mind that the American “model” for the “pandemic” response is New York, and that state’s death count is a stunning 53,175! That one state has seen a body count that is at least 7 times all of the nations of the Caribbean. In fact, the US Navy ship USS Theodore Roosevelt has had more confirmed cases of “COVID-19” (1,102) than the sunny islands of Saint Eustatius, Montserrat, Grenada, Saint Kitts and Nevis, and the Caymans.

Here Comes The Sun

So, what is it about these sun-drenched regions that has the power to frustrate the plots of the maddest of Satan’s mad scientists? There is a massive amount of scientific data that proves that the SUN is a far better doctor for the Black man than the entire American medical establishment. Sunlight is a primary source of Vitamin D, the hormone that is also dubbed “the sunshine vitamin.”

It is critical to building up of the immune system. Most Blacks who were alleged to have died from “COVID-19” were found to be seriously deficient in Vitamin D. So important is this sun-generated Vitamin D that researchers believe that the “pandemic” could be resolved in 30 days for about $2 per person, simply by raising vitamin D levels among the general public.

In one recent study researchers found that 40% of U.S. adults are deficient in the vitamin, but that number rose to 76% for Black Americans. Sunlight solves this deficiency and does many other remarkable things:

•           It elevates mood. Even moderate sunlight exposure helps improve your mood and focus by boosting the serotonin levels in your body and decreases the risk of depression.

•           It improves sleep. The brighter your daylight exposure, the more melatonin you produce at night. It has a range of effects on the brain, from improving sleep to synchronizing your biological clocks, and lowering stress. A 2017 study found that students who get more sunlight every day perform better in tests.

•           It promotes bone growth. Sun-generated Vitamin D promotes calcium absorption and is essential for bone growth and formation. According to scientists, getting anywhere from 5 to 15 minutes of sunlight on your arms, hands, and face twice or thrice a week is enough to reap the vitamin D-boosting benefits of the sun.

•           It lowers blood pressure. Nearly half of Americans have high blood pressure. Even moderate exposure to sunlight can cause a significant drop in blood pressure levels, cutting the risk of stroke and heart disease.

•           Reduces the risk of cancers. Sun exposure decreases the risk of melanoma (skin cancer). The research found that outdoor workers who were exposed to regular sunlight had a lower risk of developing skin cancer compared to their indoor counterparts. Sunlight has also been linked to a reduced risk of certain cancers, including colon, ovarian, pancreatic and prostate cancer.

•           It promotes weight loss. Black adults have the highest rates of obesity. The latest research reveals that basking in morning sunshine can reduce body fat. Studies show that as little as 20 to 30 minutes of early morning sun exposure is sufficient for you to lower your Body Mass Index (BMI) and trim your waistline.

Yes, science has finally caught up with Muhammad. And yet there are many additional benefits of sunshine that would require a library filled with books to expound. The profit-grubbing anti-Sun industries are dedicated to making us fear and loathe that mighty star, selling us oceans of sunscreen, billions of sunglasses, and miles of window shades. Yet, the Sun is free of charge—there are no patents to be filed, no profits to be made.

Certainly, the white man has so damaged and destroyed the environment and the atmosphere that overexposure to sunlight may be hazardous, but the masses of people are woefully underexposed to an unhealthy degree. Their deceptive “lockdown” policy forced us indoors; many of us are incarcerated in sun-less dungeons, and many of us live in high pollution cities amidst sun-blocking high-rise projects. All this compromises our collective health and makes us perfect candidates for a pharmaceutical fix.

The migrations of Black people to the northern cities have added to our health woes, because inhabitants of areas north of the line that goes from Los Angeles to Atlanta (roughly 33° latitude), are sunlight depleted between October 15 and April 15; so our bodies cannot generate adequate levels of Vitamin D during this time. But there are billions more vitamins that make ANY sun exposure a benefit to our health.

So, listen good to Our Minister: “Go someplace where you can take your clothes off and turn, and turn again…. And when the day of disease comes, the vitamins rise up to defend us against disease.”
