Every holiday has a demon: Keeping the Krampus in your Christmas

There is this notion that once Halloween ends, the paranormal world closes down and the thin window between the here and there closes until the next go around a year later.. But that is hardly true–if you believe in the paranormal to begin with, there’s no time or date on when ghostly affairs can take place. Even more, history shows that Christmas, throughout history, has been a time and place for creepy tales and weird stories. Even more, religious believers claim that Christmas is the greatest time of year for a release of souls from purgatory..

So Christmas, my friends, is not rest for the weary..

But there is an even darker creature who lurks behind your Christmas tree while you innocently sip on warm egg nog: Krampus.

Krampus is the Christmas devil who haunts children..
Krampus is not a very nice creature.. Santa Claus brings presents to children who were good.. Krampus punishes those who were not. He puts the children, those especially too naughty that even coal will not suffice, into his bag and carries them to his lair.

When I was a children in a new closed down elementary school in Pennsylvania named Holy Spirit, we had a yearly regiment of putting out shoes in the hallway during a particular time of day and listening for bells. We were told that St. Nick would be coming around to give candy to good kids. You did not want a wooden stick, though–we were not told by teachers then that Krampus was the one who would give the sign that you were a bad child during the past year.. and later we found out that the school janitor was St Nick anyway, so the whole episode became defunct ..

But that little charade was a part of a grand tradition in some parts of the world–the first week of December is when Krampus gets his holiday. People dress up like the Christmas demon and have wild parties.. As custom in some nations, such as Austria, Romania, and Croatia, younger men will dress as Krampus and roam the street at night to play morbid tricks on children.. they will walk with rusty bells and chains.

In 2013, there were more and more articles popping up on the Internet concerning the Krampustime traditions. Suddenly, it seemed, Santa’s sleigh broke down and a new Christmastime hero was being heralded.. NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC went back in time to explain how Krampus came to be, and how he would whip bad children into being nice, a horrid thought when you consider it.. NAT GEO wrote,

Krampus was created as a counterpart to kindly St. Nicholas, who rewarded children with sweets. Krampus, in contrast, would swat “wicked” children and take them away to his lair.

According to folklore, Krampus purportedly shows up in towns the night before December 6, known as Krampusnacht, or Krampus Night. December 6 also happens to be Nikolaustag, or St. Nicholas Day, when German children look outside their door to see if the shoe or boot they’d left out the night before contains either presents (a reward for good behavior) or a rod (bad behavior).

A more modern take on the tradition in Austria, Germany, Hungary, Slovenia, and the Czech Republic involves drunken men dressed as devils, who take over the streets for a Krampuslauf—a Krampus Run of sorts, when people are chased through the streets by the “devils.”

In the beginning of 2014, there were even reports that Kevin Smith wanted to make a Krampus horror movie.. In the springtime, it was revealed that Smith’s KRAMPUS cast included some big names.. And it’s not just Kevin Smith. Only days ago it was reported that Michael Doughtery was directing a KRAMPUS horror comedy and a release of that film was set for Christmas 2015..

BOING BOING is running an article on the newfound popularity of the old soul named Krampus. He may not be the grinch who stole Christmas after all, btu the devil who provided it new meaning..

But the news lately has not just been all fun and demonic games.. Dateline Austria: A man dressed as Krampus beat a woman with a stick during one party.. The news source from that nation reports that Krampus attire is common this time of year.. Another opinion writer online says it’s time to introduce Krampus to children, that the mind control on kids is needed. The article may be tongue in cheek comedy written by a humorist.. but that words would most likely resonate with some out there who want to children a bit of the bad–for those times when coal is just not an effective threat anymore..

In every sense, Krampus is a necessary part of the Christmas season..
God has the devil, and the eternal battle of spiritual warfare is said to take place in our heavens above..
Batman has the Joker.
Obama has Boehner.
Santa.. well, Santa has Krampus.

And being the first week of December, it’s just about time for the Krampus festivals around the world to light up in a wicked fashion and bring the paranormal back to Christmas…

Jared Leto? You’ve got to be ‘joking’: SUICIDE SQUAD CASTING REVEALED

JARED LETO will play the JOKER..
WILL SMITH is DEADSHOT..
TOM HARDY is Rick Flagg..
MARGOT ROBBIE is HARLEY QUINN..
JAI COURTNEY is BOOMERANG..
CARA DEVELINGE is ENCHANTRASS..

All of this casting will occur for the film SUICIDE SQUAD, expected to begin filming during the spring of 2015..

WARNER BROS announced the news today with fanfare, saying that the comic book film will center around the vaudevillians and their chance of redemption in the eyes of the government that denounced them..

The movie is planned for a release August 2016..

There are more casting rumors saying that Lex Luther will be played by Jesse Eisenberg..

However, it’s not all rosy news for the press release naming the big stars to the cast..
Some DC Comics fans are concerned about the use of character actors to play lead roles–in this regard there is concern as well that none of the female leads are strong actresses .. User comments on various stories in relation to this press release seem lukewarm to the cast. While some are able to live with names like Will Smith, others are exceptionally concerned about the way Leto will play the clown prince of crime–

DC COMICS fans know the SUICIDE SQUAD well. They are the people who, in the comic, have redeemed themselves in the eyes of the United States government and have now become assets of UNCLE SAM..

There is undoubtedly a strong political message throughout the comic–it’s most likely the same theme will be present in the film adaptation. It just also so happens to come at the same time the 2016 presidential election will be wrapping up, some wonder if the film will try to assert some sort of statement in the political world..

MASS DEATH IN BLACK AND WHITE: WHEN RELIGIOUS PIMPS FAIL GOD

A few days ago I wrote an article concerning a sad and tragic historical account of the killing fields in Guyana Africa in the late 1970s at Jonestown.. The term “drink the Kool-Aid” comes from a minister who inspired his flock to take a suicide poison.. to die.. those who did not freely except their fate were met with forced murder at the hands of this so called Reverend, a man of God.

Jim Jones, someone who was politically heralded for many years and supported by money of the elite, spoke words during an eerie and bizarre final ceremony at the compound telling his flock that they will be dead anyway so there’s no other way to die and by taking his poison drink. He spoke of it as though it was a religious ritual which would save them from judgment and speak to the world. He said it was an act of defiance to the cruel world–a message to the entire planet from the small branch of imprisoned souls who could not escape the evil clutch of the man who wanted them all to die..

Jonestown spoke to the world, and still does. It is the most deplorable of the calamities to befall a large group of people who originally wanted to be free of evil of worldly possessions and embrace God. Instead they died because of a delusional madman. Jonestown is an obvious lesson about how dangerous some religious pimps can be. Jones was not a man of God, but quite the opposite. During his final moments of recorded audio his voice sounded like it was possessed by some other worldy demon, it was a strange and unusual and cryptic few moments in time, moments that live in infamy. While people were dying and convulsing and paint before him, he continued to paint a picture that they were doing it in the form of a mass protest that could grant them entrance to the Kingdom of Heaven.

In the end, he was not even brave enough to drink his own Kool-Aid, shooting himself instead, obviously seeing the fate of others and the slow and painful death they encountered.

That is why today when I heard the words of Louis Farrakhan, Jim Jones came flashing back to my mind’s eye..

I don’t offer the story is any commentary on the Ferguson Missouri situation, nor do I take any position at this time about officer Darren Wilson or the shooting death of Michael Brown. That debate is for websites other than this, it’s not my purpose here and this is not the venue …But what I do want to show you all this startling video of what Farrakhan had to say:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=97Y9FjtQ5Wc

He wants his flock to die for something.. He wants to ‘tear’ the country up.. the strangest part of the video was Farrakhan’s face as he spoke of the death of the people seated in front of him:

It would certainly appear that Mr. Farrakhan was filled with some sort spiritual presence in the “we’re going to die anyway” statement, his eyes lighting up as though he was seeing spirits before his face. His sheer jubilation could not be masked when he mentioned that babies should be taught how to throw bottles instead of just sucking on the tip for milk, and he grew even more insane looking as his face contorted when he was filled with some sort of an exuberance about the thought of people who follow him dying in some sort of act of defiance.

Yes, there are times when people made the decision that death was more important than life and that it spoke louder than any words which could have been said during existence. We celebrate those heroes of yesterday, we even celebrate the wounded warriors who come back from war and those who never made it. Their sacrifices for us are immense.. History is filled with the corpses of martyrs and peacemakers …

But there is something very creepy deep down when you hear a minister, a man purported to be spreading the word of God, speaking about how God would want his followers to die. His bright smile at the thought of it makes me wince, and yet again reminded me of how many susceptible people are to fall in line with false prophets who propose a cold of death rather than warm hope..

I really do not think a God, one which would create life and want it to live, would expect people who love that very life to take up arms in violence to kill their fellow brother. But as we see from history, the prophets who pretend that they know what God wants are very quick to tell us to do just that.

Countless reverends tell their congregations to ‘get ready.’
There are both right and left wing God whores who couldn’t get less about scripture..

Another day another nipple

She was once the material girl, then became the material mom. Now it’s time is going on, she is nearing old age but yet still has nipples of perfection.

My only thought is that Madonna had her nipples coated with a clear plastic or her breasts were heavily touched up by Photoshop users at Interview magazine..

Nonetheless, at age 56, Madonna is make it again. Obviously that is something that we had seen before in a number of different forms and venues, but the increased age of Madonna certainly has some eyebrows raised.

While others sag there is no lag with Madonna in her Interview magazine spread. But there is a chance that other people at her age don’t have the same magicians helping them look as good as her.

And now the war is on, what will take the prize as the most memed pop culture photo of the year: Kim Kardashian’s dump of a lump it Madonna’s sheen plastic breasts in publication?

Pop culture is so cruel to the eyes often times..

From this:

to this?

I certainly do have questions..!
