Giving thanks. What a wonderful thing to be able to sincerely do, right? We all gather our loved ones, get the family together, lick our chops and salivate as the aromas from the kitchen cascade throughout the house. Hard at work in the kitchen, often times for days, cooking up delectable dishes for us all to devour on the 3rd Thursday of every November each year. It's the stuff that beautiful memories are made of. Who could argue about something as wonderful as that? I love Thanksgiving, myself. Being that I'm not a child, Christmas has taken 2nd place on my list of favorite holidays. Nothing personal, Jesus. <3
Many parents out there know, or think they know, about how Thanksgiving came to be, what its history is, the background, the "true meaning" of the holiday. I thought I knew as well. As a child, the fact that I grew up in Virginia assisted in furthering my understanding about the original colonies, and how the United States was formed, etc. I've been surrounded by Civil War battlefields since I was born. What a great opportunity to be able to live so close to our nation's capitol, right? For the majority of my life, I genuinely felt that way. All I have to say to that now is, "Where once I was blind, now I can see."
Native American blood runs through my family, along with a deep, white European background. I have been intrigued and mesmerized by all things relating to nature since I was a very young boy. I have a heart felt love for our planet and the wonders it possesses. I feel, however, that so much of what we are taught as children is no more than propaganda wrapped in a genius little package to pass out like rotten candy to innocent little children.
Some of us know that the United States would never have came to be if it were not for the slaughtering of 10's of millions of Native Americans. Maybe some of us knew, but not many of us care. That, my beloved readers (and haters), is where my problem with the system begins. It goes back much further than that, but in terms of the United States' history, this is the best starting point.
Many of us also know that colonists befriended the Native American's and made trade and barter very popular. We brought them spices, guns, and disease. They traded their furs, their trust, their land, and their lives. "Oh, but you're naive if you think all the other countries in the world didn't do the same thing to establish their boundaries." "To make an omelette, you gotta' break some eggs." Most of those who believe that are either filthy rich opportunists or spineless, blind sheep that the government leads into their own new age slaughter. Slaughter of what, you ask? How about the slaughter of morals, virtues, values, peace, and prosperity, liberty and freedom? Everything this nation stood for is in shambles. If you ask me, the federal government has spat in the faces of our soldiers by erasing the rights of our own people. If the world is still here in 10 years; I am willing to bet the farm that the United States' population will have grown far less than the previous decade. I'll also bet that many "Red-blooded Americans" will be calling another country their own, voluntarily. Why? If you have to ask that, then re-read this paragraph.
Here is a quote about Thanksgiving Day and what the core of its significance originally stood for. William Loren Katz, author of Black Indians, A Hidden Heritage, wrote that “In 1637 Governor Bradford, who saw his colonists locked in mortal combat with dangerous Native Americans, ordered his militia to conduct a night attack on the sleeping men women and children of a Pequot Indian village. To Bradford, a devout Christian, the massacre was imbued with religious meaning.”
You see, ladies and gentlemen? This is but an inkling of the proven facts which contradict the lies, the pure crap, or propaganda, we are fed as facts from childhood. Adolf Hitler possessed no tact in serving up his propaganda. The US seemed to glean great knowledge from Hitler's mistakes. It's improved greatly upon how to incorporate subtlety within a society that was once looked at as the dream of all dreams. The only thing dreamy about the US now is the nightmare that our government has turned our country into. Don't think for one second that I count only CPS corruption as the only example of this. It runs far, far deeper than that. I rarely watch television anymore. It kills brain cells 100 fold compared to other bad habits if you ask me. It teaches far too many falsities that are handed down as facts. Poisonous is what much of it is in my humble opinion.
The very people who assisted in founding our country, who were running from persecution from Britain, committed the same acts against Native Americans that they all were subjected to, and often far worse in nature. The premise of Thanksgiving is based largely on one of the sickest hypocrisies we've seen in more recent history. Where is the honor in that? Where does the line get drawn and enough is enough? I guarantee you that "enough" will never be enough. Our "fearless leaders" will tirelessly consume every penny, every hope, every love, every ounce of trust, happiness and forgiveness from 100% of the same people they reign over. They will suckle on what little we all have left until it is gone, then out of frustration, when we're through, threadbare, and emaciated; they will toss us in massive pits, and burn away any memory that they ever committed any wrong doing. "That's ridiculous", you say? How would they have anyone left to force their desires upon? They are power hungry, if they have no one left to have power over, then why have a government?" I'll answer that with a question just to keep you all on your toes. If you and your most powerful allies were handed billions of dollars in your favorite currency or precious metal, then given a huge piece of land to keep as your own, would you feel the desire to wake up every day and bust yourself working 8-12 hours a day? Who the hell needs power when you've got unlimited money and resources? Cough *evil agenda* Cough....
To stay on topic and not stray too deeply into subjects that I will cover in depth in my book, I will simply say that anyone who truly believes there are no government conspiricies and that they are always looking out for us, no matter what; You can move to the front of the line of blind sheep, because you're fooling yourself. Do the research. Not a couple hours here and there, either. I'm talking about months of watching videos, reading articles and books, and sorting fact from fiction. Put the pieces together and then look me in my eyes and try to tell me that we're not all handed metric tons of pure horse crap every day. If you can, then I pray God watches over your misguided souls when the time comes.
Thanksgiving may not be a world-wide holiday, but especially with the times we now live in; It should be. Maybe now you're thinking, "This guys says he loves Thanksgiving, then degrades it, then says it should be celebrated world-wide? He needs a check up from the neck up." Well, my dear readers, I am a firm believer that nothing has to mean what it looks like from the outside or the inside for that matter. It's about what it means to you. Not your neighbor or cousin, you. Every last man, woman, and child on this planet has something to be thankful for at least once in their lifetime. Even the inncocent ones who are stricken with terrible illnesses or problems at birth. They do not die or suffer in vain. Each and every wonderful child of God who suffers anything, ever, assists in proving just how much cruelty so many of our creator's children are subjected to every day.
All evil people who think they got away with their deeds and can rest easy in life or death, for that matter, do not know what it means to be on this planet. To deserve life and happiness. They will suffer. They will be maligned by the all powerful force that is God. No matter what religion they practice, what beliefs they hold, or how well they deceive others about their nefarious actions; they all pay the price. Most no one can ever see their suffering, whether it's while on Earth, or it's in the afterlife. Trust that God and our universe has a plan. Trust that those celestial bodies are carrying out their unending will and power just as they know it's meant to be. I sleep well at night. Evil does not. I will sleep peacefully every night, whether I wake up here or in my own afterlife. I can honestly say that I know I'm safe. I know I'm cared for. I know I'm guaranteed a blessed existance. No matter who attempts to strip that from me, it will never leave me. My angels are here for me. Can you look inside your own soul and honestly say the same thing about yourself?
Tomorrow will mark the 2nd Thanksgiving without my children. Christmas will bring it's own sick 2nd anniversary, courtesy of Fairfax County Child Protective Services. I am sending out a warm, heart felt, "I pity your soul," to each and every crooked employee, official, or endorser. I hold no true anger toward them. I get angry. I think I earned the right to be angry from time to time.
I have no clue what my baby girl even looks like. I have never once felt her touch, seen the light in her eyes, or heard the sound of her voice. I have never seen a birthday celebrated for my son. All I have seen are lies. All I have seen is corruption. All I have seen is my world torn asunder. I still find it in my heart to forgive my children's kidnappers. I know their hearts and minds are full of greed, selfishness, hate, and impure agendas. I feel sorry for them. I feel sorry for the damnation they have brought against their souls. I know why they have to fool themselves and convince themselves daily that they are always doing the right thing. It takes a special person to be able to walk into a family's home, exaggerate, lie, contrive ridiculous scenarios, and "legally" tear beautiful children from their loving families. It takes a special person to be able to look a judge and jury in the eye, lie about 3/4 of what they say, then look loving parents in the eye and smile a bright, joyous smile each time they reach their goal of adding children to their tally of "legally" kidnapped children. It takes a special person to sleep well at night who does such things all day long, all week long.
For the social workers who say, "You know how hard my job is? What I have to put up with from my superiors, and the parents, and the children every day?" My rebuttal is, "Maybe you should have thought of that before getting into your chosen "profession." I have no sorrow for what they chose to do, I have no remorse for the huge number of corrupt actions CPS agencies have committed world wide for the last 40+ years. I only have remorse for your damned souls and pray they are redeemed after your sick, sinful, pathetic lives are over. I curse your actions and your evils. The ones who truly do a thorough investigation, gathering all pertinent facts, assist families in need, and actually care about the children they help, all have special places in my heart. While 19% of children are given long-term help who truly need it, 81% (that statistic is courtesy of the federal government and fightcps.com) of the children are often thrown into far worse lives than they could even have dreamed of having with the ones who love them dearly.
What does anyone on Earth have to be thankful for with so many terrible things happening to our loved ones, and strangers alike, every day? How about waking up alive for starters? Being able to take a walk and breathe air, having the sun kiss your faces, seeing grass sway from a gentle breeze, or beholding a beautiful sunset. The world is a dangerous place, no one disputes that. But the sun rises and sets over war-torn nations just as it does over peaceful, developed countries. I think that all of us should force ourselves to find something we appreciate, then hold onto it. Even if you're sleeping in a cold, wet ditch with missiles flying over your head and no food in your stomach, or a shirt on your back. I send out the universal message that we all need to rest assured that we can find warmth in the fact that we are safe in God's hands. The universe may seem to work in mysterious ways, but it has its own way of taking care of people who deserve it. It's all a matter of perception. The ones who can find beauty and peace in something so basic as a flower growing in a field of garbage are the same ones who God will bless with a beautiful life the next time around, maybe even this time around. Who knows, maybe the same ones will earn their wings long before they pass on to the next life.
Love all. No matter how bad your day seems, no matter how much hate, lies, deception, or violence you are subjected to. Love in knowing that things might get worse before they get better, but even if you die from your efforts to shine; it was all worth the chance to pass that inner-light, that love, that inspiring moment on to someone else. Even when there is no one watching, there is always an angel watching from a distance. Often times, things that seem very insignificant to us are seen as life-changing to others. Never lose faith. No matter where the faith is, what religion or belief you hold, cherish it. If your beliefs include love then you are definitely headed in the right direction. Never change how or what you think for anyone else. Hold a gun to my head, I'm still going to say and believe what I want to. Pull the trigger. It only seals your fate and blesses mine.
So, before we sit down to gorge on turkey, mashed potatoes, and stuffing; give thanks. Give appreciation for something. Give it selflessly, expecting zero in return. If you don't celebrate Thanksgiving, then perhaps give thanks for being alive. Give thanks for having a close family member or friend who is always there for you. Show appreciation or kindness to someone in need. It doesn't matter if you're in Australia, Europe, Asia, the U.S, Canada, Africa, Mexico, or anywhere else in the world. Find something to be thankful for. Show pity for the souls of those who commit or endorse the terrible acts and deceptions our governments have imposed upon us all. Their time will come. Not one more drop of blood need be shed. Not one more life need be lost. The day will come where they will take their last breath, whether they have "righted" their wrongs or inflicted them ten fold.
My soul cries out and bleeds the ink of my desires. My heart pounds with grace and love for those who understand that religion has never mattered. Only love has ever mattered. It's the most powerful feeling any of us could ever hope to possess. It is very true that love doesn't cost a thing. Sins cost us more than most will ever realize until it's too late. Even if they don't hurt someone else; sinning hurts ourselves. Much is redeemable. Much can be overcame to cleanse them. If you never make real effort to do so, then why start changing your ways? Our devotion to the world and its beauty should never waver. Our devotion to love ourselves so that we can help others love is a lesson that I believe will become the way of the world in times to come. We all should give thanks. Not for the founding of the United States. Not for the slaughter of millions of Native Americans. We should all give thanks for the one message that is becoming resoundingly clear in our world today. Our ways have not ever served the sustainability of forward societal evolution. Rejoice that our unity grows in great numbers. Rejoice that our combined love and devotion is only adding a healthy recipe to our world's cause. A cause that is selflessness in its purest form. That cause is love. <3

When the Spanish established St Augustine, the fist town established in the US, they found some French trying to establish a settlement nearby. So after sending a military patrol out to take the French in for their illegal settlement, the Spanish decided to hold a traditional victory celebration of the Divine Liturgy of the Holy Eucharist (aka Mass). As you may know Eucharistia is the Greek word for thanksgiving. Yes, the Spainsh held the first Thanksgiving ever recorded in the US at St Augustine to worship the God who is perfect love.
ReplyDeleteI did read about that, RINKEVICHJM. Good point. However, does it not create the environment of devious mockery to slaughter indiginous peoples in the name of "evolution"? In my opinion, the United States could have easily lived in harmony with Native American's. The world's population was said to be able to stand shoulder to shoulder in the surface area equal to Jacksonville, Fl. None too long ago, either. So, hundreds of years ago, with the population being far less than today; How could such a small number of people not have had more than enough room to cohabitate in the US? Only answer that fits is greed. The same premise that built the US will be the very premise that destroys it.
