I heard the bells on Christmas Day
Their old, familiar carols play,
and wild and sweet
The words repeat
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!
And thought how, as the day had come,
The belfries of all Christendom
Had rolled along
The unbroken song
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!
Till ringing, singing on its way,
The world revolved from night to day,
A voice, a chime,
A chant sublime
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!
Then from each black, accursed mouth
The cannon thundered in the South,
And with the sound
The carols drowned
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!
It was as if an earthquake rent
The hearth-stones of a continent,
And made forlorn
The households born
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!
And in despair I bowed my head;
“There is no peace on earth,” I said;
“For hate is strong,
And mocks the song
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!”
Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:
“God is not dead, nor doth He sleep;
The Wrong shall fail,
The Right prevail,
With peace on earth, good-will to men.
~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, “Christmas Bells”
Dear Friends, Clients, and Subscribers:
At Christmas, we celebrate new birth—the coming of the covenant of grace.
Now is a time to gather the grace into our hearts, our homes, and our families. For many of us, the long winter is ahead. While we pray for a world at peace, we also prepare for a world at war.
We rise and rise again to face and overcome the evil that is afoot. Yet we will also take time to celebrate our blessings—the people, the land full of life, and the freedoms that we treasure.
To help you celebrate, we hope you will enjoy The Best of the Solari Report. During the Christmas holidays, we select and publish the best Weekly Interviews, the best Series Interviews and Special Reports of the year, as well as the News Trends & Stories and themes from the four quarterly Wrap Ups. Our Christmas movie and music selections each week in December also celebrate the festivities—with Christmas, of course, reserved for J.S. Bach!
A Solari Report subscriber asked what I would recommend for Christmas gifts. Here are some of the gifts I like to give.
Subscribers can purchase our Holiday Wrap Up Gift Packages of printed Solari Wrap Ups.
Subscribers can purchase Solari Report Gift Subscriptions for a family member or friend.

Solari Report subscribers can take advantage of another annual tradition: Give the Gift. Between now and December 20, 2023, you are invited to give a complimentary subscription to a person of your choice that includes the Solari Report through the 2023 Annual Wrap Up, which publishes throughout January 2024. The 2023 Annual Wrap Up will include the announcement of our Hero of the Year 2023, Best Books for 2024, and scenarios to help you plan for 2024.
Here are our Christmas donations. We invite you to join us in supporting these leaders and organizations as well as the leaders in your local communities and areas of interest.
SOLARI 2023 CHRISTMAS DONATIONS
We have chosen the following recipients for our 2023 Christmas donations:
FINANCIAL TRANSACTION FREEDOM: For the focus of our Take Action Crowdfund in 2024, we are funding our support of Tennessee legislators to protect our financial transaction freedom. This includes supporting efforts by other state legislators working with Tennessee leaders or who request materials or briefings directly. We believe there is a tremendous opportunity to support financial transaction freedom if we can raise funding support. Contributions to this effort are not tax-deductible.
FOOD: The Food Freedom Foundation (FFF) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that supports the work of the Farm-to-Consumer Legal Defense Fund (FTCLDF) and other like-minded organizations protecting farm and food freedom. Donations to FFF are tax-deductible.
FFF’s mission is to strengthen local food systems by promoting and expanding the right of consumers to obtain the food of their choice from the source of their choice. Its vision is a local food system where freedom of food choice, unregulated farm-to-consumer direct commerce, small farm prosperity, and more self-sufficient local food economies abound.
The Farm-to-Consumer Legal Defense Fund (FTCLDF) was launched on Independence Day, July 4, 2007. FTCLDF’s mission is “protecting, defending, and broadening of the rights and viability of independent farmers, artisanal food producers and their consumers.”
FTCLDF protects the rights of farmers and consumers to engage in direct commerce; it protects the rights of farmers to sell the products of the farm and the rights of consumers to access the foods of their choice from the source of their choice. FTCLDF is a true grassroots organization and receives no government funding and little or no corporate funding. Its main sources of revenue are membership fees, individual donations, and grants for public interest litigation from various organizations. Donations to FTCLDF are not tax-deductible.
CHILDREN: Children’s Health Defense (CHD) is working to end the chronic disease epidemics in children and the tyranny and greed that creates and profits from it. CHD has financed 50+ litigation efforts, and their media and education efforts with CHD-TV and The Defender and partnership with Skyhorse Publishing have provided excellent coverage of what is happening in medicine and medical science. CHD has started 28 chapters around the world, extending its reach in multiple languages around the world. Donations to CHD are tax-deductible.
Fondazione Nanodiagnostics ETS led by Solari Hero Dr. Antonietta M. Gatti, the Foundation’s mission is to protect children, their health and safety. The Foundation carries out studies through an Environmental Scanning Electron Microscope with Field Emission Cannon and X-ray Microanalysis to ensure a future for children, free from any internal contamination that puts their health at risk.
PRAYER: We are in a raging spiritual war. Prayer can make all the difference. This year we celebrate two churches on Tennessee:
World Outreach Church – Pastor Allen Jackson leads this wonderful church in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. World Outreach gathers people from around the country and the world for baptism and services with wonderful community on-site as well as extensive online and global outreach.
Reverend Melvin Bufford – This year we once again celebrate one of the great prayer warriors of Tennessee: Reverend Melvin Bufford of Mt. Salem Baptist Church, in Hickory Valley, Tennessee.
We invite your prayers this Christmas season for these leaders and organizations, for the Solari network and team, and for all those working for freedom or struggling with tyranny in this world and for peace on earth, goodwill to men.
Note:
If you would like to donate to any of these causes on an anonymous basis or send a lump sum for us to allocate, please send a check with your instructions to Solari Inc. by mail to PO Box 157, Hickory Valley, TN 38042, or create a support ticket if you would like bank wire instructions.
If you need prayer stocking stuffers, remember you can print out the Solari Prayer Book or order copies–they are complimentary.

On behalf of the entire team at the Solari Report, we wish you a Merry Christmas and a Prosperous and Happy New Year!
