    An annual Australian Christmas event that raises money for families and children who are blind or have low vision was interrupted when pro-Palestinian demonstrators stormed the stage.

    The Carols by Candlelight event, which has been held on Christmas Eve in Melbourne since 1938, was being celebrated at the Sidney Myer Music Bowl,


    Members of Australia's Parliament of Victoria also reacted:


    "Funds raised from Carols by Candlelight support Vision Australia's Life Ready Program, which is designed to encourage and support childhood development and the education of children and young people who are blind or have low vision, so they can form strong foundations for life, true meaningful participation and life-long employment," The Carols by Candlelight website notes.

    The Carols by Candlelight event was catalyzed by radio announcer Norman Banks walking home after work on Christmas Eve 1937. He saw an elderly woman through her window, lit by candlelight, singing along with the song "Away in a Manger" as it was sung on the radio. The next year his idea of having people sing carols by candlelight came to fruition at the Alexandra Gardens on Christmas; 10,000 people attended. The event is currently broadcast and telecast to eastern Asia, many Pacific Islands and New Zealand.

    The Australian Girls Choir and National Boys Choir of Australia perform at the event each year.

    On Saturday, pro-Palestinian demonstrators disrupted Christmas shoppers in San Francisco's Union Square. In Chicago, some pro-Palestinian demonstrators blocked traffic headed for O'Hare Airport, delaying Christmas travelers from getting to their flights.

    On Sunday night, Christmas Eve, pro-Palestinian demonstrators disputed a Christmas caroling tradition at Washington Square Park in Manhattan, blaring music and honking their horns. One 76-year-old caroler told The New York Post, "They disrupted, we sang louder. We weren't going to let them make this their night. Yeah, it was annoying, but Christmas for me is about making the negative into a positive. I heard that honking and that loud music and said to myself, this is God's way of telling me I'm not caroling loudly enough. I sang myself hoarse."

    "Carolers of all races and persuasions are caroling together in the spirit of the holidays, and these jerks are driving around with music blasting out of massive speakers and honking their horns incessantly as a tactic to what - annoy the everloving s*** out of people whose support they're trying to win?" another caroler said.

Considering what real news is available for all to witness, and in great specificity, should one pursue what is true outside of the channeled realm of the corrupt corporate /legacy media, and: Is Institutionalized Corruption real, and is it a hindrance to sustaining our Constitutional Republic now, and for future generations of American citizens?

A majority of Americans still believe in OUR 1st Amendment guaranteed Freedom of Speech; however, at what bold point does the constitutional right to Free Speech becomes unabashed anti-Semitic Hate Speech, and while it should possibly be tolerated on our college campuses, and on the streets of mostly Sanctuary Cities, these events should be rightfully observed and scrupulously monitored ... or, not? What is your true opinion of when too much of enough is just too much, or not?
  The answer to Free Speech I don't agree with is more, and incredibly robust Free Speech.
  There is a point when Free Speech becomes counter productive to sustaining a peaceful society.
  Free Speech should only be tolerated if it represents the status quo of the highly educated orthodoxy.
  Early in life, I learned to speak only when I am spoken to.

It has been far too many years since the Woke theology interlaced its canons within the fabric of the Indoctrination Realm, so it is nigh time to ask: Does this Representative Republic continue, as a functioning society of a self-governed people, by contending with the unusual, self absorbed dictates of the Woke, and their vast array of Victimhood scenarios?
  Yes, the Religion of Woke must continue; there are so many groups of underprivileged, underserved, a direct result of unrelenting Inequity; they deserve everything.
  No; the Woke fools must be toppled from their self-anointed pedestal; a functioning society of a good Constitutional people cannot withstand this level of "existential" favoritism as it exists now.
  I just observe; with this thoughtful observation: What will happen "when the Vikings are breeching our walls;" how do the Woke react?

In stripping away the heavy varnish of fakery by the heavy handed Corrupt Corporate Media; in taking a true view of what is real, right now with clear open eyes: How do you see this 46th President of these States United; what is your visceral first impression of Joe Biden after nearly 3 years on the job?
