The greatest composer of all time only lived to be 56 years of age and the Grand Maestro had so much, much more music to compose. One of the torch-bearers at Ludwig van Beethoven's funeral was the pioneering Franz Schubert who lived in the shadow of the great composer in Vienna. Schubert, himself a musical visionary, worshipped Beethoven at a distance and even though both composers lived in Vienna at the same time, there is no evidence to support that they ever met. Beethoven's 9th Symphony No. 9 in D minor, Op. 125 (Ode to Joy') is the national anthem of the European Union (EU). In Japan, "Ode to Joy" is played nationwide on Christmas and New Year's Eve.
Under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, the Justice Department must release its documents on Epstein within 30 days after the bill was signed into law. Dummkopf Trumpf signed the act on 19 Nov, meaning the files must be released by 19 Dec. Not all of the documents could be released, as the law makes an exception for documents that "would jeopardize an active federal investigation or ongoing prosecution, provided that such withholding is narrowly tailored and temporary."
Pro-Kremlin nuns from Belarus, operating stalls at Christmas markets across Europe, are raising funds to directly support Russia's war in Ukraine.
For the first time in history, maritime drones disabled a submarine. The Security Service of Ukraine (SSU) deployed underwater drones to attack a Kilo-class Russian submarine in the port of Novorossiysk, causing it critical damage and rendering it ineffective.
Via Executive Order, Dummkopf Trumpf ordered various restrictions or a complete ban of people coming to the US from Afghanistan, Burma, Chad, Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Yemen, Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger, South Sudan, Syria, Gaza Strip/West Bank; Laos, Sierra Leone, Burundi, Cuba, Togo, and Venezuela.
"Murder-Death-Kill," the American, Russian, and Israeli way. Yes, the "MDK" term comes from a film as someone pointed out in an earlier post. Plagiarism can be the highest form of praise when used appropriately.

Maestro's Arturo Toscanini and Herbert von Karajan conducted robust high tempo versions of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, both versions slightly over one hour. One of the challenges conductors have had over the decades was performing Beethoven's Ninth Symphony in exactly one hour, like this: Beethoven's 9th in One Hour.
And this is what Beethoven's Tenth Symphony in E-flat major might have sounded like, as pieced together in 1988 by Barry Cooper from the Immortal Maestro's fragmentary sketches for the first movement. Barry Cooper used no AI in his hypothetical arrangement: Beethoven's Tenth Symphony (Unfinished)
*** Dummkopf Trumpf: "Ilhan Omar Hates Jewish People" ***
The Hatemonger-in-Chief slimed US Congresswoman Ilhan Omar (D-MN) at a Hanukkah event at the White House on 16 Dec, braying she "hates Jewish people." Trumpf bleated Israel and the "Jewish lobby" was once the strongest lobby in Washington. But that's "no longer true," the junta leader whined.Link: Trumpf War on Somalis Continue
"You have a Congress, in particular, which is becoming antisemitic," Trumpf sniveled. "You have AOC plus three. You have those people, Ilhan Omar, she hates Jewish people. And you have to be very careful, because there's been a big change."

*** Dry Drunk War Criminal Bleats About Making God and Chaplains Great Again ***
"In an atmosphere of political correctness and secular humanism, chaplains have been minimized, viewed by many as therapists instead of ministers. Faith and virtue were traded for self-help and self-care. If you need proof, just look at the current Army Spiritual Fitness Guide. In well over 100 pages, it mentions God one time. That's it. It mentions feelings' 11 times. It even mentions playfulness,' whatever that is, nine times. There's zero mention of virtue. The guide relies on new age notions. These types of training materials have no place in the War Department. Our chaplains are chaplains, not emotional support officers, and we're going to treat them as such."Link: x.com

For those of you with time, two non-paywall NYT articles regarding Jeffrey Epstein follow. One describes his meteoric rise in the world of high finance and society and the other is a diary of one of Epstein's girlfriends, revealing some insights into the deceased child sex trafficker:
1) Meteoric Rise
2) Diary Secrets
Former Israeli spy Ari Ben-Menashe claims in his book "Epstein: Dead Men Tell No Tales" Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell were Israeli spies. Ben-Menashe alleges they ran a "honey-trap" operation, providing young girls to politicians for sex and then using the incidents to blackmail them for Israeli intelligence.
Ben-Menashe, who claims to have been Ghislaine Maxwell's handler, states that Epstein was introduced to Mossad by Maxwell's father, Robert Maxwell, also an Israeli espionage agent. The book suggests that Maxwell may have worked for other governments as a double or triple agent.
*** Russia's Chief Propagandist Threatens France ***
Vladimir Putin's allies have issued a menacing threat against France, declaring Russia is prepared to 'march on Paris.'
As tensions escalate between the two nations, Putin's chief propagandist, Vladimir Solovyov, delivered a fierce retaliation after French President Emmanuel Macron denounced the Russian leader during an interview with French TV news network LCI, branding him "a predator and an ogre at our doorstep."

Earlier this year President Macron warned the French medical system to prepare for mass casualties in 2026 and Germany is increasing the size of its armed forces.
Disguised as charity work, the monastery spreads Kremlin propaganda and runs militarized training programs for children. The Church of Sweden has urged its parishes to refuse cooperation with the nuns from Minsk, Belarus, following their recent visit to a parish in the Swedish city of Taby. The monastery cultivates a positive image of social work and missionary activity, while in reality concealing its role in supporting war and maintaining close ties to the regimes of Vladimir Putin and Alexander Lukashenko. By purchasing their products, people may unknowingly be financing Russia's war. For several years, the St. Elisabeth Convent, also known as the St. Elisabeth Monastery (SEM), an institution under the Russian Orthodox Church (ROC), has appeared at Christmas markets across Europe, selling religious-themed gifts presented as traditional and charitable. Behind this facade, however, the monastery has been raising money to support the Russian army and its war in Ukraine.
ROCOR is an extension of Russian intelligence which operates in the US, Canada, and Europe. Dummkopf Trumpf recently normalized relations with Belarus, a critical military, intelligence, and economic partner of Russia. EUROPOL recently smashed a Belarusian KGB network operating in Europe which was assisting her Russian espionage comrades in the FSB and GRU.

On Day 1,392 of the Kremlin's brutal invasion of Ukraine, the Russian military has lost ~1,190,620 personnel, 1,150 in the past 24 hours alone. In addition to the ruined submarine, Russia has lost 432 aircraft and 347 helicopters.
An international arrest warrant for war crimes issued by the ICC remains active for Vladimir Putin. An indictment is merely an allegation. Mr. Putin is presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a shadow of a doubt at an international tribunal to be held for him at the Hague at a future date.
*** Karoline Leavitt Bleats Utter Nonsense About Susan Wiles Interview ***
"Well, look, I would just echo my boss, Susie Wiles, who is the best chief of staff in our nation's history, working for the greatest president in our nation's history, and that this was, unfortunately, another attempt at fake news by a reporter who was acting disingenuously, and really did take the chief's words out of context.
"But I think most importantly, the bias of omission was ever present throughout this story. The reporter omitted all of the positive things that Susie and our team said about the president and the inner workings of the White House. And as Susie said today, it's deeply unfortunate that happened, but it won't distract us from making America great again.
"And President Trump has been such a productive president and has accomplished more in 11 months than most presidents do in eight years because of his vision and his tenacity, which is executed on and facilitated by our great White House chief of staff, Susie Wiles, whom I'm very proud to call a boss, and a mentor, and a friend."
