(Season 3) Episode 15: Origins of Christmas, Don't Look Up, American Nightmare

Where did Santa, the elves, reindeer, and the Christmas tree come from? The psychedelic origins will shock you. 


"Don't Look Up" on Netflix is a great illustration of the stupidity, greed, and propaganda that radiates from the politicians, media, and billionaire maniacs (we're looking at you Gates-y boy). 


This sounds cliche (and it is) but the American Dream seems to have turned into an American Nightmare.

Ghislane Maxwell goes to trial. 

Best friend and sex-trafficking accomplice to Epstein, now in front of a judge at last.

This court case could potentially air the dirty, dark, and sinister laundry of the rich and powerful. 

The attempts by the media and governments to distract from this case are obvious and many.

We are seeing the characteristics of dictatorships seeping into our democracies.

What can we learn from the rise and fall of past dictatorships to prevent them from obtaining power today?
