1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,440
For many individuals, Christmas is one of the most difficult times of the year.

2
00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:09,680
It is a time where buttons are pushed as you spend time with the people who installed them.

3
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:14,800
Old wounds are resurfaced, and disappointments are re-experienced.

4
00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:19,080
For some, it can be a time where you remember the loss of your innocence,

5
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:22,340
the time where you had to grow up far too young.

6
00:00:23,180 --> 00:00:27,580
This Christmas, for many, may be the most difficult they ever face.

7
00:00:28,540 --> 00:00:34,120
We are in the fourth turning, and the institutions that so many have had faith in are crumbling.

8
00:00:35,140 --> 00:00:36,680
Households are being divided.

9
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:39,140
Families are being fractured.

10
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:44,480
The consequences of fiat money are front and center, unavoidable.

11
00:00:45,260 --> 00:00:49,820
But just because times are hard does not mean that they can't be good.

12
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:54,260
It does not mean that you cannot experience connection and hope.

13
00:00:54,260 --> 00:00:58,440
Everything that is good in the world came from people that fought for it.

14
00:00:59,020 --> 00:01:02,760
When a child goes to bed with a full stomach at night in a warm house,

15
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:05,260
having played all day with presents,

16
00:01:05,260 --> 00:01:09,440
it is because of hours of toil that the parents spent

17
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:13,060
in order to provide for and protect that child.

18
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,080
The world is a dangerous place for children.

19
00:01:16,900 --> 00:01:21,280
It is a dangerous place for the innocent, the curious, the pure.

20
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:25,760
But danger is the realm which the pioneer walks into willingly.

21
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:35,820
Over the past year, the bugle has used pioneer imagery to try and inspire our listeners to take active roles in their own lives.

22
00:01:36,540 --> 00:01:44,460
The pioneers that settled the western United States, unlike the plebs of ancient Rome, were truly sovereign individuals.

23
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:52,020
For them, Christmas often meant challenge, as it often marked the beginnings of some of the coldest days of winter.

24
00:01:53,020 --> 00:01:57,460
Food could be scarce, and the cold oftentimes was life-threatening.

25
00:01:58,260 --> 00:02:02,080
Their lives were marked with hardship, with struggle for survival.

26
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:08,280
Any gifts that were given were often handmade and consisted of immense value,

27
00:02:08,780 --> 00:02:12,380
as the time that went into making them came after a hard day's work.

28
00:02:12,380 --> 00:02:18,560
Celebrations like Christmas often were times of great importance as traditions that were

29
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:24,140
practiced brought hope and connection into households filled with struggle.

30
00:02:24,140 --> 00:02:30,020
This Christmas, I want to challenge you to think of your ancestors that came before you,

31
00:02:30,020 --> 00:02:34,220
the ones that faced cold winters and chose to keep fighting.

32
00:02:34,220 --> 00:02:40,420
You come from a long line of individuals who faced hardship but chose to keep pushing forward

33
00:02:40,420 --> 00:02:42,740
so that you could be here.

34
00:02:42,740 --> 00:02:46,980
They were the ones that built the world that you now live in.

35
00:02:46,980 --> 00:02:53,000
Think of how they may have been gathered together in a cabin on the frontier, grasping for hope

36
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,900
as the winter's chill threatened their very survival.

37
00:02:56,900 --> 00:03:04,460
For you to be here today, it took determination, grit, but most importantly, it took individuals

38
00:03:04,460 --> 00:03:10,340
coming together, despite times being difficult to celebrate holidays like Christmas together.

39
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:15,860
Inside you is that very same grit and determination that your ancestors had.

40
00:03:16,660 --> 00:03:22,160
Just because times may be growing difficult with the absence of Dennis Porter, the fourth

41
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:28,100
turning kicking into full gear, and with the plebs being grumpy getting scared by whatever

42
00:03:28,100 --> 00:03:31,940
the latest fud is, doesn't mean that you can't thrive.

43
00:03:31,940 --> 00:03:37,340
And with that, Pioneer, I want to welcome you to this year's Bugle Christmas special.

44
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,100
Here is your host, Richard Greaser.

45
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,660
I want to thank you for joining me this Christmas.

46
00:03:45,420 --> 00:03:48,260
As you listen to this, I will be celebrating with my family,

47
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,160
smoking cigarettes, talking about Atlas Shrugged,

48
00:03:51,660 --> 00:03:53,000
discussing our favorite music,

49
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,360
and trying our darndest to connect with each other.

50
00:03:57,340 --> 00:03:58,880
If you're listening to this episode,

51
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:14,678
you probably been on this journey with me and the bugle for a while 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

52
00:04:15,558 --> 00:04:19,578
This year, I want to talk about a Christmas tradition that I love.

53
00:04:20,778 --> 00:04:27,418
On the frontier on Christmas Eve, the pioneer family would gather together and light a tallow candle in the window.

54
00:04:27,418 --> 00:04:36,498
The candle signified safety from the cold and would be a signal for any traveler that could be lost in harsh conditions.

55
00:04:37,058 --> 00:04:43,278
If a family member had to go outside, the candle also acted as a guide back to the safety of the home.

56
00:04:44,378 --> 00:04:47,178
The nights on the frontier were cold and they were dark.

57
00:04:48,238 --> 00:04:52,378
One could get lost in a severe blizzard just feet away from their house.

58
00:04:52,378 --> 00:04:58,818
a traveler con and back additions would almost certainly die as there was no infrastructure that

59
00:04:58,818 --> 00:05:06,258
they could rely on the candle was like a lighthouse at sea acting as a guide for individuals in order

60
00:05:06,258 --> 00:05:11,798
to find refuge i love this tradition because i believe that in modern times we have to do

61
00:05:11,798 --> 00:05:19,418
something similar we have to put out our signal for the weary travelers who have lost their way

62
00:05:19,418 --> 00:05:21,638
and may be on the verge of losing hope.

63
00:05:22,818 --> 00:05:26,738
In the past, on the frontier, it was much more about physical survival.

64
00:05:27,778 --> 00:05:30,278
Today, many of our physical needs are met,

65
00:05:31,318 --> 00:05:35,918
but for many of us, there's much more of an emotional and mental

66
00:05:35,918 --> 00:05:38,698
and spiritual struggle that we're facing.

67
00:05:40,318 --> 00:05:42,398
By putting our signal out there,

68
00:05:42,998 --> 00:05:46,998
our signal can be shared in a way that only a select few can see it.

69
00:05:46,998 --> 00:05:55,258
I like to call it the pioneer, but many others that you have heard talk about this concept call it the remnant.

70
00:05:56,978 --> 00:06:04,858
There are those among us that see what is wrong with our society, but also have the ability to determine cause and effect.

71
00:06:06,258 --> 00:06:13,698
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.

72
00:06:13,698 --> 00:06:15,778
they may be brilliant

73
00:06:15,778 --> 00:06:18,038
trying to share their brilliance with the world

74
00:06:18,038 --> 00:06:20,038
only to have their signal drowned

75
00:06:20,038 --> 00:06:21,358
in the sea of plebslog

76
00:06:21,358 --> 00:06:24,098
those are the people

77
00:06:24,098 --> 00:06:25,918
that matter because they are the people

78
00:06:25,918 --> 00:06:28,198
that have the capacity to make the difference

79
00:06:28,198 --> 00:06:30,158
the individuals

80
00:06:30,158 --> 00:06:32,018
that follow the ebbs and flows of the

81
00:06:32,018 --> 00:06:34,178
pedophilic ruling class likely cannot

82
00:06:34,178 --> 00:06:35,298
be convinced of anything

83
00:06:35,298 --> 00:06:38,318
they are stuck

84
00:06:38,318 --> 00:06:38,998
in their ways

85
00:06:38,998 --> 00:06:41,358
and they're just going to follow the crowd

86
00:06:41,358 --> 00:06:46,918
that's why I believe my energy is best directed at finding these individuals

87
00:06:46,918 --> 00:06:50,438
who are in trying to encourage them that have the capacity to think

88
00:06:50,438 --> 00:06:52,858
that is the purpose of the people

89
00:06:52,858 --> 00:06:59,018
so this evening as I light the tallow candles in the window

90
00:06:59,018 --> 00:07:04,138
I will be thinking of the pioneer lost in the blizzard feeling alone this Christmas

91
00:07:04,138 --> 00:07:10,818
humanity has gotten this far because individuals have been heroic

92
00:07:10,818 --> 00:07:15,918
they have faced fears, faced danger, and fought for the things that they love.

93
00:07:16,798 --> 00:07:19,378
If we have gotten this far, we can go further.

94
00:07:20,538 --> 00:07:24,198
Just like our ancestors suffered to build what we have now,

95
00:07:25,258 --> 00:07:30,078
we can follow in their example so that future generations can gather together

96
00:07:30,078 --> 00:07:32,098
and experience joy this Christmas.

97
00:07:35,678 --> 00:07:40,338
Hey folks, this is Buster Cherry, and I hope you are having a wonderful Christmas this year.

98
00:07:40,818 --> 00:07:44,238
Around my family's tree is a wide assortment of pleb trinkets.

99
00:07:44,758 --> 00:07:49,118
Ram price has skyrocketed due to fear that the spammers will make running a node more expensive.

100
00:07:49,658 --> 00:07:53,738
And I know many of us are feeling the strain financially with the increased cost of things.

101
00:07:54,258 --> 00:07:57,458
On the frontier, gifts meant time and dedication.

102
00:07:57,978 --> 00:07:59,478
That is why they were so valuable.

103
00:07:59,678 --> 00:08:16,937
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 To truly live so that you can inspire others to really step into

104
00:08:16,937 --> 00:08:20,737
their best selves. Give the gift of being a good example in a world that lacks them.

105
00:08:21,917 --> 00:08:29,217
Merry Christmas, everyone. Pastor Jeff's here. The Lord commands you to be bullish and have faith.

106
00:08:29,217 --> 00:08:39,297
2025 years ago, Jesus was born in a manger on December 25th in a small town called Bethlehem.

107
00:08:39,777 --> 00:08:43,757
While most of the world didn't know the significance of this moment,

108
00:08:44,017 --> 00:08:47,037
it would change the trajectory of the world forever.

109
00:08:48,217 --> 00:08:53,157
Today there is an announcement brewing and most of the world has no idea.

110
00:08:53,757 --> 00:08:55,837
But you know because you have faith.

111
00:08:56,477 --> 00:09:01,937
The God announcement is out there, waiting to be released in order to bring the God candle.

112
00:09:02,897 --> 00:09:09,837
While the price actions look sad and manipulated by the forces of evil, have hope because it is Christmas.

113
00:09:10,957 --> 00:09:14,377
Jesus proves that hope prevails in the darkest times.

114
00:09:15,537 --> 00:09:16,897
Hey folks, this is Kaylee.

115
00:09:17,157 --> 00:09:21,297
To finish up this special, I want to read to you Richard's article he published Christmas Day 2023,

116
00:09:21,697 --> 00:09:23,817
which marked the first Christmas the Bugle ever celebrated.

117
00:09:23,817 --> 00:09:26,697
To All a Merry Christmas from the Bugle by Richard Greaser

118
00:09:26,697 --> 00:09:29,377
While individuals around the country are going into bankruptcy

119
00:09:29,377 --> 00:09:31,777
in order to fulfill the pressure to buy their loved ones presents,

120
00:09:32,197 --> 00:09:34,137
what a brilliant marketing strategy by Corporate America.

121
00:09:34,577 --> 00:09:36,057
Let us remember the true meaning of Christmas.

122
00:09:36,537 --> 00:09:39,737
It is a holiday that is inherently religious, but I will spare you a sermon.

123
00:09:40,237 --> 00:09:43,157
A high-level view of the birth of Christ gives you a battle between good and evil

124
00:09:43,157 --> 00:09:44,677
when it feels like all is lost,

125
00:09:44,677 --> 00:09:48,677
and the salvation of humanity lies in the hands of two poor parents and a helpless baby.

126
00:09:49,137 --> 00:09:51,137
A ruthless king has his army searching for that baby,

127
00:09:51,137 --> 00:09:53,897
killing all the newborn boys they could find in an attempt to crush good.

128
00:09:54,337 --> 00:09:57,917
In days like these, when the world is at war, inflation is out of control.

129
00:09:58,417 --> 00:10:00,857
Politicians in Washington are no longer trying to hide their corruption,

130
00:10:01,297 --> 00:10:02,537
and it seems like there is no hope.

131
00:10:02,857 --> 00:10:04,617
It is important to remember the story of Christmas,

132
00:10:05,097 --> 00:10:08,597
a story so powerful that men fighting to kill each other on the front lines of World War I

133
00:10:08,597 --> 00:10:11,297
pause their fighting to remember that there is so much more to this world

134
00:10:11,297 --> 00:10:13,577
than dying needlessly for the parasitic ruling class,

135
00:10:13,877 --> 00:10:16,017
that you are an individual with value and dignity.

136
00:10:16,137 --> 00:10:20,417
And despite CIA-led attempts to completely demoralize you through the media,

137
00:10:20,417 --> 00:10:23,737
you are worth more than just a slave to generate tax revenue for pedophiles.

138
00:10:24,137 --> 00:10:25,957
As we wrap up the very first year at The Bugle,

139
00:10:26,117 --> 00:10:28,757
we would like to thank you all for joining us on this incredible journey.

140
00:10:29,237 --> 00:10:32,457
The memes have been fantastic, and we promise they will only get better in 2024.

141
00:10:33,077 --> 00:10:35,557
News outlets like the New York Times are competing with us every day

142
00:10:35,557 --> 00:10:39,317
to produce the best satire, and we firmly believe that we will be victorious.

143
00:10:39,857 --> 00:10:42,417
We will win, not because we are smarter or have more money.

144
00:10:42,877 --> 00:10:46,717
No, they have the money printers, politicians, and corporate rulers on their side,

145
00:10:46,857 --> 00:10:48,177
but we have hope and truth.

146
00:10:49,017 --> 00:10:53,517
Here at The Bugle, we believe that individuals have agency and can reject CIA mind control.

147
00:10:54,157 --> 00:11:01,797
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.

148
00:11:02,897 --> 00:11:07,417
In 2024, let's reject the authority of war criminals and use Bitcoin without permission.

149
00:11:07,877 --> 00:11:14,537
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.

150
00:11:14,537 --> 00:11:18,737
Make sure to encourage one another, but also to have fun making fun of statists and shitcoiners

151
00:11:18,737 --> 00:11:22,477
Let us dream of a world where journalists like Assange are not in chains

152
00:11:22,477 --> 00:11:24,337
And Ross is free

153
00:11:24,337 --> 00:11:27,417
A world of voluntary interactions and a hard money standard

154
00:11:27,417 --> 00:11:30,677
A world where privacy is not insurmountable, but is the default

155
00:11:30,677 --> 00:11:33,377
Reject the surveillance state and the endless wars

156
00:11:33,377 --> 00:11:38,117
Not just because it is the moral and correct thing to do

157
00:11:38,117 --> 00:11:40,057
But because there is hope

158
00:11:40,057 --> 00:11:42,057
The default state of the human soul is free

159
00:11:42,057 --> 00:11:44,297
And it is time to return to the defaults

160
00:11:44,297 --> 00:11:46,817
Now make sure to tell your family and friends that you love them.

161
00:11:47,457 --> 00:11:52,937
Encourage the people who stand besides you in this war for truth and justice.

162
00:11:53,597 --> 00:11:58,457
Remember those killed or in prison for attempting to help set humanity free and cherish your freedom.

163
00:11:58,977 --> 00:12:01,657
You are an individual with a mind, and never surrender that.

164
00:12:02,117 --> 00:12:03,057
Merry Christmas, everyone.

165
00:12:06,037 --> 00:12:18,875
Obviously a lot has changed with the Bugle since that first Christmas at the end of 2023 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

166
00:12:18,875 --> 00:12:20,555
together with your family around the fire.

167
00:12:20,915 --> 00:12:22,215
This is Kaylee Welch signing off.

168
00:12:24,495 --> 00:12:28,935
I want to thank you for tuning in to this year's Bugle Weekly Christmas special.

169
00:12:29,475 --> 00:12:31,495
If you are wandering out there alone,

170
00:12:32,015 --> 00:12:33,655
look for a candle in the window.

171
00:12:34,235 --> 00:12:36,695
It may be tough out there on the frontier,

172
00:12:36,755 --> 00:12:38,755
But you were built for this.

173
00:12:39,455 --> 00:12:40,795
Merry Christmas, everyone.

174
00:13:06,755 --> 00:13:10,875
I really can't afford another dip.

175
00:13:12,075 --> 00:13:15,935
The wife is asking to go to Target.

176
00:13:16,995 --> 00:13:21,435
But I'm hodling and watching the market.

177
00:13:22,615 --> 00:13:27,575
She doesn't realize the potential upside.

178
00:13:28,135 --> 00:13:33,475
If I just hold a little longer, please Dennis Porter, make me stronger.

179
00:13:33,475 --> 00:13:36,315
Sitting around the table with laser eyes

180
00:13:36,315 --> 00:13:39,855
Discussing how to dismantle fiat lies

181
00:13:39,855 --> 00:13:43,435
This Christmas, let's be free

182
00:13:43,435 --> 00:13:46,535
Avoiding surveillance and KYC

183
00:13:46,535 --> 00:13:48,635
We can transact peer-to-peer

184
00:13:48,635 --> 00:13:51,355
In order to share the holiday cheer

185
00:13:51,355 --> 00:13:53,935
Let's forget the crazy world out there

186
00:13:53,935 --> 00:13:56,795
And call Uncle Bobby a gay bear

187
00:13:56,795 --> 00:13:59,295
We'll be with the ones we love

188
00:13:59,295 --> 00:14:03,115
As Satoshi watches proudly from above

189
00:14:03,115 --> 00:14:19,195
Celebrating two immaculate conceptions

190
00:14:19,195 --> 00:14:23,995
Jesus and Bitcoin's inception

191
00:14:23,995 --> 00:14:28,755
Sitting around the fire with headphones on ears

192
00:14:28,755 --> 00:14:31,355
Listening to Lynn Alden dismantle

193
00:14:31,355 --> 00:14:35,275
Fun, fit, and fierce

194
00:14:35,275 --> 00:14:38,215
This Christmas let's be free

195
00:14:38,215 --> 00:14:41,335
Avoiding surveillance and KYC

196
00:14:41,335 --> 00:14:43,455
We can transact peer-to-peer

197
00:14:43,455 --> 00:14:46,135
In order to share the holiday cheer

198
00:14:46,135 --> 00:14:48,735
Let's forget the crazy world out there

199
00:14:48,735 --> 00:14:51,515
And call Uncle Bobbie a gay bear

200
00:14:51,515 --> 00:14:54,055
It will be with the ones we love

201
00:14:54,055 --> 00:14:58,115
As Satoshi watches proudly from above

202
00:14:58,115 --> 00:15:03,515
Maybe Santa will bring us a block clock

203
00:15:03,515 --> 00:15:08,715
And NVK will sue him as a cock block

204
00:15:08,715 --> 00:15:14,995
Protecting IP is what we really need

205
00:15:14,995 --> 00:15:18,735
To help the world become free

206
00:15:18,735 --> 00:15:22,615
All I need is what I've got

207
00:15:22,615 --> 00:15:26,515
Being with family and remembering Len is hot

208
00:15:26,515 --> 00:15:29,815
Reading Dennis Porter, breaking tweets

209
00:15:29,815 --> 00:15:32,955
And eating lots of sugary sweets

210
00:15:32,955 --> 00:15:38,355
It's cold outside, but toasted by the fire

211
00:15:38,355 --> 00:15:46,735
This Christmas will be one of a kind

212
00:15:46,735 --> 00:15:48,735
Let's be free

213
00:15:48,735 --> 00:15:51,795
Avoid surveillance and KYC

214
00:15:51,795 --> 00:15:53,855
We can transact peer-to-peer

215
00:15:53,855 --> 00:15:56,495
In order to share the holiday cheer

216
00:15:56,495 --> 00:15:59,195
Let's forget the crazy world out there

217
00:15:59,195 --> 00:16:01,955
And call Uncle Bobby a gay bear

218
00:16:01,955 --> 00:16:04,475
We'll be with the ones we love

219
00:16:04,475 --> 00:16:08,315
As Satoshi watches proudly from above
