This is a very different sort of Christmas carol. It’s probably not at all to your taste, and certainly isn’t one you’ll hear any carolers ever sing, but it’s reflective of a Christmas sermon I heard many years ago by Greg Boyd, one which I’ve never forgotten, about the more somber aspects of Christmas. You can listen to it on UATV.
The Word Descended
God made real
A child is born
For his ordeal
A cleansing flame
The sacrifice
To free Mankind
He paid the price
Last night I introduced two new Christmas carols on the Darkstream, one original and one a very different take on a very traditional classic. Both are very much in line with what Owen and I discussed three years ago about the decades-long secular subversion of Christmas music and our desire to do something about that. They’ll be released to the public later this month, but UATV subscribers can download high-quality MP3s now.
Now roads are clear of snow
The world has changed completely
Yet there is one thing we know
A son was born uniquely
It’s Jesus Christ we celebrate
His coming is the reason
Everyone around the world
Welcomes Christmas season!
About three years ago, Big Bear and I were talking about Christmas carols and lamenting the fact that so many of them, including several that were our favorites, were inspired by a spirit of anti-Christian subversion. Many secular carols, including a number of genuinely great songs such as Winter Wonderland and White Christmas, were written and pushed by Hollywood with the specific intention of replacing the traditional Christmas carols that are focused on the Christian purpose of the holy day, or “holiday” as we know it now.
I mean, Silver Bells has always been a particular favorite of mine since childhood, and yet, it’s essentially a song about an urban shopping experience. It’s not exactly The Messiah or Adeste Fideles.
I made a few desultory efforts at penning something, but never really got around to doing anything with it until recently. But now that AI music has added turbo warp speed to one’s compositional capabilities, I was able to finish a Christmas carol entitled This Very Night, and since Vibe Patrol follows the Psykosonik tradition of producing at least five very different mixes of every single, two of them are already up on UATV for subscribers to hear and download. I’ll be making the other mixes and additional new carols available over the next three weeks. The Christmas Bear mix is, of course, for the Bears, toe express my appreciation for Big Bear and his tremendous community, hence the one line that would tend to strike anyone else as a bit, shall we say, prosaic.
My old friend and bandmate graciously gave me permission to release COSMIC TRIGGER in all of its manifold varieties as I see fit, so I’ll be putting some of the mixes up on Spotify soon. But UATV subscribers don’t have to wait, as they can listen to all three of the modern mixes already.
And yes, Cheerleader Candy is exactly what you suspect and fear it might be. It might be worth recalling that I’m from an award-winning 90’s techno band that never hesitated to release – never mind record – six or seven very different mixes per single. So if you haven’t subscribed to UATV yet, what more could you possibly be waiting for?
People are threatening to stage an intervention, but I refuse to even slow the aural assault. After introducing not one, not two, but THREE new editions of FOUR MORE YEARS on last night’s Darkstream, including the specifically-requested Health and Human Services mix in honor of the new appointee, I followed up with what may well be the best edition yet.
We may have to record that one with Booster Patrol in addition to the Storm mix we’re already doing just because the guitars are so amazing. We may put some of them on Spotify and whatnot eventually, but they’re already available for Unauthorized subscribers in the Voxiphonic section.
That’s not all of them, those are just the four new versions. This may seem a little strange, but I’m simply just continuing the old Psykosonik tradition of providing a ludicrous number of remixes of our singles; after our second single, Welcome to My Mind, was released, the singer of a local band called HALO congratulated us on what he thought was our new album, saying that he really liked how we’d gone with what he thought was a themed approach to the CD. But his confusion was justified; about the only similarity between the Anaesthesia mix and the Sonik Bender mix were the lyrics and the choral vocals.
UATV is just getting better and better. Come join the party. Tell me which one is your favorite on SG. And since I forgot the Japanese name of the song, here’s my favorite flute solo that I referenced on the Darkstream as well as the autism study inspired by The Irrational Atheist that was mentioned.
This one will be launched on tonight’s UATV-exclusive Darkstream. If you haven’t subscribed yet, do it and join the party. I guarantee it is not at all what you’re expecting.
Over 140 viewers tuned into last night’s political reaction stream. And tonight we’ll wrap up part two of the UATV-exclusive commentary on the Global Realist Faction’s Jeffrey Sachs explanation of why the Neo-Liberal Rules-Based World Order has failed and who was really responsible for the war in Ukraine. If you haven’t subscribed yet, please do so and join us tonight at 7 PM Eastern!
And we’ll also debut a new technometal mix of FOUR MORE YEARS.
Simplicius hits an important landmark and contemplates the possibilities of the Second Trump administration:
One can clearly see where the pattern was leading. If the Biden and Obamala deep state dynasty would have won the election, all of us reporters, analysts, correspondents, etc., who are perceived to have pro-Russian views, connections, or publications would have been next on the target list.
Thus, the 40k milestone represents a potential turning point or ‘light at the end of the tunnel’ moment, given that it coincided with Trump’s demolishing election victory over the seedy forces of tyranny. That’s certainly not a blanket endorsement of Trump’s ability to actually deliver on his promises to magically fix everything or succeed in his long-laid plans to dismantle the deep state. But it is at least a tangible glimmer of hope on that count, particularly because such institutional rot—when it comes to agencies targeting freedom of speech—is precisely what he and the people around him have vowed to redress.
Just yesterday, for instance, JD Vance reportedly threatened to cut NATO out should Europe dare impose censorial limitations on Twitter/X or other US social media platforms, after Germany again began barking about shutting X down. On paper, the new Trump administration seems like it means business in dismantling the ingrained authoritarian deep state bureaucracy which has merged government-corporate-NGO powers to parallelize and offboard major governmental censorship through a thicket of opaque entities.
There’s a chance here that Trump will accomplish some of this work—or at the very least, delay the inevitable to the great injury of the deep state. As such, for the first time we can breathe a small sigh of relief for the coming year and the long haul toward the next 50k milestone, as the Trump admin’s pressure could buckle the system and even shatter the censorship complex in Europe as well—or at least put some major cracks in it.
Of course, as the naysayers will bray, this could all be a chronic case of wishful thinking; but for the time being, it’s all we’ve got, and I think it’s a majorly positive development, all things considered.
It would be fascinating to see what would happen if the likes of Big Bear, Stefan Molyneux, and I were once again permitted to compete on a reasonably level playing field. But I’m not holding my breath for my ability to return to YouTube.
Your channel won’t be put back on YouTube
We’ve taken a careful look at your channel again, and confirmed that it violates our Community Guidelines policy. We recognise that this is disappointing news, but our goal is to keep the YouTube community safe and supported.
That “careful look”, by the way, required all of about two minutes. Which, of course, is why it’s important to continue to build our independent platforms regardless of what President Trump manages to achieve in the social media space.
I’m announcing a video competition for FOUR MORE YEARS (Storm mix). One week, put together the most absurdly triumphalist Trump video for it that you can, send me the links to download them, and I’ll review the entries on the Darkstream and we’ll put it out on YouTube, Rumble, and so forth after announcing the winner on Arkhaven Nights.
We’ll also use clips from those video entries as the basis for a GOD’S GONNA CUT YOU DOWN-style video featuring everyone in the community who is interested in going on camera when the full Booster Patrol version is ready. Sing, play a guitar part, the bass part, the drums, it’s all good. But don’t record yourself with this version, because there will be, at the very least, some minor changes going from the digital world to the analog one.
And when I say “absurdly triumphalist”, this is the sort of thing I’m talking about.
Elon Musk didn’t need any special app to know that the election was over well before CNN and other networks declared Donald Trump to have won the 2024 US Presidential election at 5 AM Eastern time on November 6th. All he had to do was watch the Darkstream.
JOE ROGAN: “Apparently Elon created an app and he knew who won the election four hours before the results. Dana White told me Elon said ‘I’m leaving. It’s over. Donald won.” I don’t know how he did it. Dana said Elon showed him the app and said “It’s over,” and then just left.”
Five hours before that, I declared that Trump had almost certainly won, and and 90 minutes later, after establishing the further confirmation for which I was waiting, I put it in writing on VP. The fact that Trump won Miami-Dade County in Florida, and Harris had hundreds of thousands of fewer votes in Broward and West Palm Beach counties, was all we needed to know that she wasn’t going to be able to squeak by in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Wisconsin, and Michigan the way that Biden did.
That’s a 12.4 percent lead in Florida. I don’t see how that’s overcome, if Trump is overperforming. I said this is going to be a bigger Trumpslide than the previous one. Than the previous two. But this really looks that way… Wow, this is huge. Trump won Florida by four times more than he did in 2020! We can almost certainly safely conclude that Trump is going to win at this point.
That was at 8:15 PM on November 5th, only 75 minutes after the first polls closed. The only modicum of doubt was whether this overperformance vis-a-vis 2020 was a unique situation due to Florida Governor DeSantis limiting the Democrat shenanigans, and the underperformance of Harris in certain specific other counties that we were tracking as soon as the polls closed at 8 PM was sufficient to prove that it was not. So I declared Trump the winner at 9:45 PM and went to bed.
This is why subscribing to UATV in general, and the Darkstream in particular, is a smart thing to do. You can literally know what’s happening before the richest man in the world does, and well before the mainstream media tells anyone else.
