2024 Holiday Greetings
Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse; The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there;
The children were nestled all snug in their beds, While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads; And mamma in her 'kerchief, and I in my cap, Had just settled down for a long winter's nap,
When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter, I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter. Away to the window I flew like a flash, Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.
The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow
Gave the lustre of mid-day to objects below, When, what to my wondering eyes should appear, But a miniature sleigh, and eight tiny reindeer,
With a little old driver, so lively and quick, I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick. More rapid than eagles his coursers they came, And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name;
"Now, DASHER! now, DANCER! now, PRANCER and VIXEN! On, COMET! on CUPID! on, DONNER and BLITZEN! To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall!
Now dash away! dash away! dash away all!"
As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly, When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky, So up to the house-top the coursers they flew, With the sleigh full of toys, and St. Nicholas too.
And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof The prancing and pawing of each little hoof. As I drew in my head, and was turning around, Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound.
He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot, And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot; A bundle of toys he had flung on his back, And he looked like a peddler just opening his pack.
His eyes -- how they twinkled! his dimples how merry! His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry! His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow, And the beard of his chin was as white as the snow;
The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth, And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath; He had a broad face and a little round belly, That shook, when he laughed like a bowlful of jelly.
He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf, And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself; A wink of his eye and a twist of his head, Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread;
He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,
And filled all the stockings; then turned with a jerk,
And laying his finger aside of his nose,
And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose;
He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.
But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight,
HAPPY CHRISTMAS TO ALL, AND TO ALL A GOOD-NIGHT!
~ Clement Clarke Moore "The Night Before Christmas"
Dear Friends, Clients, and Subscribers:
At Christmas, we celebrate new birth—the coming of the covenant of grace.
The December holidays are the season when we gather 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 build our resiliency for life in a world at war.
We rise and rise again to face and overcome the evil that is afoot. Yet we also take time for gratitude—to celebrate our blessings—the people, the land full of life, and the many freedoms that we treasure.
To help you celebrate, we hope you will enjoy The Best of the Solari Report 2024. During the Christmas holidays, we select and publish the best Weekly Interviews, the best interviews by our Series Hosts, as well as the News Trends & Stories and themes from the four quarterly Wrap Ups. This year we will also publish the Best of Tech Corner and the Best of Solari in the News. Our Christmas movie and music selections each week in December also celebrate the festivities and the New Year.
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 Women in Art and our Water report at our store in time for the holidays!
Subscribers can purchase Solari Report Gift Subscriptions for a family member or friend.

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 2024 CHRISTMAS DONATIONS
We have chosen the following recipients for our 2024 Christmas donations:
Financial Transaction Freedom:
Solari Take Action Crowdfund
Solari’s Take Action Crowdfund in 2024 focuses on funding our support of state legislators and officials to protect our financial transaction freedom. This includes supporting efforts for online or in-person briefings and producing and providing published materials. We believe there is a tremendous opportunity to expand these efforts if we can raise funding support. (For those who wish to contribute to this effort, please note that donations are not tax-deductible.)
Land Grab:
Grindstone Ministries
Grindstone Ministries is an Oklahoma not-for-profit that provides disaster relief and construction services to those most affected by devastating storms. They contributed services to the people of Western North Carolina following Hurricane Helene and provided essential reports on what was really happening on the ground.
American Stewards of Liberty (ASL)
Margaret and Dan Byfield’s ASL is one of the most effective forces today stopping government and private land grabs. As they state on their website, “The environmental movement is actively working to turn half our nation into a nature preserve, off-limits to everyone from back-packers to farmers. We push back on their agenda every single day. If we lose our right to own property, we will lose more than just our land. We lose our freedom of speech, religion, self-defense, and all other personal liberties that allow each of us to pursue our American dream. Unless we stop this agenda, we will cease to be the land of the free.”
New Media:
Truthstream Media
Aaron and Melissa Dykes created Truthstream Media as an outlet to try and figure out what is really going on while watching history repeat itself “over and over and over.” Their insightful output includes extraordinary coverage of recent events in Western North Carolina and Eastern Tennessee, as well as their blockbuster documentary, The Minds of Men, on the history, science, and technology of mind control. They offer memberships on Patreon and SubscribeStar.
David Talbot Crowdfund
Journalist and independent historian David Talbot is the author of numerous books, including The Devil’s Chessboard, which is one of the best books written about the Kennedy assassination. His sons are raising funds for Talbot’s support following a severe stroke.
Health Freedom:
Citizens’ Council for Health Freedom (CCHF)
For over two decades, CCHF has been a powerful force in promoting the mission of health freedom by providing useful resources, policy research, and unique initiatives. CCHF also monitors Congress and state legislatures, and testifies on proposed legislation. It was co-founded by CCHF president Twila Brase, RN, PHN and Chairman Emeritus Martin Kellogg and incorporated by the State of Minnesota on August 10, 1998. CCHF is organized as an independent 501(c)3 national, nonprofit health policy organization.
Stand for Health Freedom (SHF)
Stand for Health Freedom is a 501(c)4 nonprofit organization dedicated to informing and activating a grassroots movement to protect our health and our families. Since its inception in August 2019, through partnerships with local organizations, SHF has empowered over 700,000 individuals to directly contact their elected officials and others in positions of influence with the right message at the right time. Together, they have taken over five million actions through SHF’s specialized portal to preserve and promote informed consent, parental rights, religious freedom, freedom of speech, and privacy. Executive Director Leah Wilson, while working tirelessly for health freedom, has been supportive of Solari’s efforts to protect financial freedom. This is another example of the excellent collaboration among people working for food and health freedom with those working for financial freedom.
Food Freedom:
Food Freedom Foundation (FFF)
The Food Freedom Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit established to protect farm and food freedom primarily through grants for public interest litigation. FFF’s goal is to strengthen local food systems by promoting and expanding the right of consumers to obtain the food of their choice through the source of their choice. The foundation supports efforts that champion freedom of food choice, farm-to-consumer direct commerce, small farm prosperity, and local food economies. Litigation FFF has funded includes: a test case for the Maine Food Sovereignty Act and the Maine Right to Food constitutional amendment involving a home business providing meals for members of its community; a case to establish protections for homesteading families under the Michigan Right to Farm Act; and the lawsuit to stop overreach by the Texas Department of Agriculture in its enforcement of the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) produce safety standards against small farms that should be exempt from FSMA’s inspection requirements. FFF has also set up a fund to support litigation to overturn USDA’s mandatory electronic ID (EID) requirement for cattle and bison—a regulation that threatens to vertically integrate the cattle industry and drive small farmers and ranchers out of business.
Children:
CHD.TV
CHD.TV, the video and movie arm of Children’s Health Defense, is the brainchild of Polly Tommey (Solari Hero of the Year in 2022), who hosts popular shows like This Week with Mary and Polly and the CHD-Solari collaboration, Financial Rebellion. Other CHD.TV shows include Good Morning CHD with a rotating cast of hosts, Pediatric Perspectives with Dr. Paul Thomas, Defender In-Depth with Michael Nevradakis, Doctors and Scientists with Brian Hooker, PhD, and An Informed Life Radio with Bernadette Pajer. CHD.TV also led the “People’s Study” that resulted in the 2024 documentary, Vaxxed III: Authorized to Kill. Polly’s and the CHD.TV team’s programming prowess and commitment to children’s health have catapulted CHD-TV to millions of views, with viewers tuning in from dozens of countries. Donations to CHD earmarked for “Films-CHD.TV” are tax-deductible.

We are in a raging spiritual war. Prayer can make all the difference. 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.
