Christmas in the Trenches - history & John
McCutcheon song
25Dec2006 06:43 AM Music
Here's an email reply I just sent to a friend (and
lots of others) that seems quite fitting for today:Hi
all:Thanks to Brian for this inspiring message; a
quick postscript...The song being referred to in the
Rense article is probably "Christmas in the Trenches"
by John McCutcheon, a wonderful folksinger I've heard
several times over the years on KVMR
(http://www.kvmr.org) concerts in Nevada City... It
gets a lot of play on that wonderful radio station...
I don't think I've ever heard it without getting
rather misty-eyed ...I'm listening to it now as I
write this and the misty tradition continues
I think the deep emotional appeal
of this song arises from the soul level
realization that WE ARE ALL ONE, and living with
the golden rule in our hearts is really all that
ultimately matters (and the perspective that
transcends our struggles & battles, be they
on a personal, family or global
level).Here's are
the lyrics (and a link to more
history):

and a link to the Live at Wolftrap CD that features the song.Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Solstice Season, or whatever you find that brings lasting joy to your heart and hearth... and have a wonderful 2007!

the manipulation, we get along just fine and do
not commit violence against each other. The
true event described at the website below really
occurred. One factor in the article of the
link above that was not reported was that most
the officers on all sides of the conflict had
departed on Christmas Eve therefore leaving only
the enlisted men on the front lines…or in other
words the manipulators were gone and true
humanity could emerge for a brief moment.
That brief moment terrified all levels of the
manipulators All the peoples of the Middle
East got along just fine until the being
manipulated by the Vatican, British, Americans
and Zionists (not the Jewish) after
1948. 95 to 99 percent of the violence and
bombings in Iraq are committed by non-Iraq
citizens that include corporate and military
personnel who are citizens of England, the
United States and Israel. As FOX and CNN
emotionally and sensationally report violence
and bombings in Iraq, 95 to 99 percent the
deadly events are directly or indirectly
executed by the British, Americans or Israelis
but falsely blamed on the Iraqis. When not
manipulated, the various factions of the Middle
East have proven over the ages and will act in
the same manner as the French, Germans and
British soldiers did in the trenches on
Christmas Eve 1914.. Let Peace begin within
you and me... Hope your 2006 was good and
your 2007 is better. The only way the
conditions in Iraq will get better is because
Americans, Britons and Israelites wake up to the
reality of the manipulations by the corporate
and elite powers that be. Please, crawl,
walk or fly out of your trench and walk in
harmony and love…but that doesn’t mean we will
not have an intense difference of opinions and
preferences…but we will not shoot or bomb each
other nor tolerate or allow false flag
operations because of our differences or angles
on reality. Brian
