Christmas Tree Wars, More Literal This Time
— Ace

'Tis the season for gay subversion, and I mean gay in the fa-la-la song way.

That links to a short post noting that recently Christmas trees have been used as propaganda weapons against two odious regimes, North Korea and the FARC narco-terrorists of Columbia.

Here's the Columbia article:

Special forces infiltrated the remote Macarena mountain range to dress a 25m (82ft) high tree with 2,000 lights.

Movement sensors will make the tree light up when guerrillas approach.

The army says it will put up trees in nine other rebel-held zones to spread the message that Christmas is a good time to abandon armed struggle.

"Operation Christmas," the covert mission was called, carried out by special forces in Blackhawk helicopters, thereby virtually requiring it be made into a Christian-conservative-studio's film, almost certainly starring Kirk Cameron as Captain Eduardo "Capitan Kringle" Rojas.

No but seriously, I'd see the film, even with Kirk Cameron.

4 Rumor has it that the trees also are surrounded by claymore mines, set to go off if a guerilla group decides to try to cut down the lights or tree.

5 Rumor has it Santa's little elves planted Bouncing Bettys under the tree and suspended claymores above the mistletoe.

Okay, a variation on the theme. The tree should light up with "Now I have a machine gun. Ho, Ho, Ho," while a motion sensor controlled heavy machine gun sprays the guerillas.

Doesn't quite capture the spirit of Christmas but what the hell. They're baddies.

8 I can imagine some poor dumb, filthy, tired, hungry FARC POS walking the trail and all of sudden the tree to his right lights up like the Griswold's house in Christmas Vacation, immediately causing the POS to shit himself and decide "fuck it, I'm taking the amnesty".

Christmas, what can't it do.

On May 9, 1970 he initiated the torture session that led to his imprisonment. The torture session was described in the L.A. Times on May 14, 1971. “The victims said they were living at Karenga’s home when Karenga accused them of trying to kill him by placing crystals in his food and water and in various areas of his house. When they denied it, allegedly they were beaten with an electrical cord and a hot soldering iron was put in Miss Davis’ mouth and against her face.

Police were told that one of Miss Jones’ toes was placed in a small vise, which then was tightened by the men and one woman. The following day Karenga told the women that ‘Vietnamese torture is nothing compared to what I know.” Miss Tamao put detergent in their mouths; Smith turned a water hose full force on their faces, and Karenga, holding a gun, threatened to shoot both of them. The victims Deborah Jones and Gail Davis were whipped with an electrical cord and beaten with a karate baton after being ordered to remove their clothing.”

Karenga was convicted of two counts of felonious assault and one count of false imprisonment. He was sentenced on Sept. 17, 1971 to serve one to ten years in prison. After being released from prison in 1975, he remade himself as Maulana Ron Karenga, went into academics, and by 1979 was running the Black Studies Department at California State University in Long Beach and converted to Marxism. Kwanzaa’s seven principles include “collective work” and “cooperative economics.” He is still there and everyone has almost forgotten the cruel and vicious attacks committed on his fellow blacks. Kwanzaa has been successfully marketed and is now heralded as a great African tradition.

12 Ace, I think you meant Colombia.  If there was a Christmas tree on the grounds at Columbia, it would be a national crisis.

Yes.

DEFINITELY.

/you all know don't you, that Searchlight pictures and/or Universal has someone on this thread right now, writing these details down for the Kirk Cameron film, right?

21 I'm as big a fan of Santa as the next guy, but risking your life to set up a Xmas tree? Are they trying to scare people into thinking they're just as crazy as the bad guys!?!

22

And those Norks - what, are they worried that their people will see a Xmas tree, and start some sort of tree-worshiping cult? Really??

People are crazy.

23 Columbia. Cute.

24 Yeah, GO USA! And wouldn't it be even cooler if when the tree lit up there would be a Special Forces choir, dressed in Christmas colors, singing "I'd Like to Buy the World a Coke" before slinging grenades at the dirt bag jihadis and spraying them down with machine guns.
