Cold Turkey

Now that Thanksgiving Day is officially over, let us get down to the nitty-gritty. What is this holiday season really about? I think it's primarily about shopping.

But aside from the mass consumerism, what is it about Thanksgiving that triggers so much hysteria? Why is this the busiest travel day of the year? Why not Christmas?

May we all understand the truth behind the Thanksgiving Holiday, a fixture in American culture.

I hate to burst the holiday spirit bubble- I have been accused of being a bit of a Scrooge by some- but it is my goal to spread Truth. Once you know Truth, IT will set you free, and you can never turn back. We have been living in the midst of chicanery our entire lives, but with the recent development of real-time information, this illusion has begun to dissipate in favor of Truth. We are experiencing this process at this very moment, where we can click a link and information that we never knew existed comes to us instantly— potentially life-changing information.

Before the invention of the Gutenberg Press, information was only available to the privileged few. Most people were illiterate. I don't mean functional illiterates like this man, I mean real illiterates. This era corresponds to Europe's Dark Ages, when people were in the dark about true knowledge because they lacked information.

Here is some controversial, yet relevant, information: When we celebrate Thanksgiving, as decreed by the United States federal government, we celebrate the genocide of Native American Indian people.

Don't believe it can be true? Don't believe this country— that sponsored slavery, lynchings and thousands upon thousands of crimes against humanity— is capable of designing a national holiday around murder and deception, then having the nerve to call it "Thanksgiving"?

Think again.

The moment we realize we are victims of brainwashing and mind control, we will begin to allow new information, that is often contradictory to our present beliefs, to flow in. When this happens, we are changed forever.

Don't get me wrong. I am not on a crusade against the essence of Thanksgiving, a time when families come together to feast, spread love and bond together as a unit. Thank God for this time, for we need it more than ever now.

And it is definitely a bonus for those of us who are fortunate enough to have jobs that pay holiday time, encouraging us to be with our loved ones.

But we must understand history and symbolism.

Know thy self and celebrate thanksgiving everyday, for everyday there is reason to give thanks.

In the Holy Name of the Almighty Creator, YHWH, we thank you for this moment in time.

Amen.
