Hi CE! for you this morning..

Hi OP, backatchya!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone, enjoy your day :)

"Massasoit, Chief of the Wampanoag, had welcomed the so-called Pilgrim Fathers-and the seldom mentioned Pilgrim Mothers-to the shores where his people had lived for millennia. The Wampanoag taught the European colonists how to live in our hemisphere by showing them what wild foods they could gather, how, where, and what crops to plant, and how to harvest, dry, and preserve them.

The Wampanoag now wanted to remind white America of what had happened after Massasoit´s death. Massasoit was succeeded by his son, Metacomet, whom the colonists called "King" Philip. In 1675-1676, to show "gratitude" for what Massasoit´s people had done for their fathers and grandfathers, the Pilgrims manufactured an incident as a pretext to justify disarming the Wampanoag.

The whites went after the Wampanoag with guns, swords, cannons, and torches. Most, including Metacomet, were butchered. His wife and son were sold into slavery in the West Indies. His body was hideously drawn and quartered.

For twenty-five years afterward, Metacomet´s skull was displayed on a pike above the whites´ village. The real legacy of the Pilgrim Fathers is treachery.
Most Americans today believe that Thanksgiving celebrates a boar harvest,
but that is not so.

By 1970, the Wampanoag had turned up a copy of a Thanksgiving proclamation made by the governor of the colony, the text revealed the ugly truth:
After a colonial militia had returned from murdering the men, women,
and children of an Indian village, the governor proclaimed a holiday
and feast to give thanks for the massacre. He encouraged other colonies
to do likewise-in other words, every autumn the crops are in,
go kill Indians and celebrate your murders with a feast.

The Wampanoag we met at Plymouth came from everywhere in Massachusetts. Like many other eastern nations, theirs had been all but wipe out. The survivors found refuge in other Indian nations that had not succumbed to European diseases or to violence. The Wampanoag went into hiding or joined the Six Nations or found homes among the Delaware Shawnee nations, to name a few. Some also sought refuge in one of the two hundred eastern-seaboard nations that were later exterminated.

Nothing remains of those nations but their names, and even some of those have been lost. Other Wampanoag, who couldn´t reach another Indian nation, survived by intermarriage with black slaves or freedmen. It is hard to imagine a life terrible enough that people would choose instead, with all their progeny, to become slaves, but that is exactly what some Indians did."

Hi Buffalo Bill, I´m very aware of the Pilgrim/Native American lies that have poured from the propaganda machine for decades.

I prefer to see Thanksgiving Day in the light of what Abraham Lincoln said:

"It has seemed to me fit and proper that God should be solemnly, reverently and gratefully acknowledged, as with one heart and one voice, by the whole American people. I do therefore invite my fellow citizens in every part of the United States, and also those who are at sea and those who are sojourning in foreign lands, to set apart and observe the last Thursday of November as a day of Thanksgiving and praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the heavens. "
A. Lincoln, October 3, 1863


I hope you enjoy the time with family and friends for what it is, not what they have said it was.

As long as you see it that way CE that´s fine with me, you are a good soul :)

Bump for the turd-keys

morning clear eyes and happy holidays to you and yours and to all in glp land

gobble gobble gobble!

Man, Buffalo Bill you really know how to bum me out with the truth.40 years ago, my grandmother told me that I am related to Buffalo Bill(don´t know how exactly, except the family migrated to Illinois from South Dakota)and since then have become painfully aware of his not so wonderful legacy.There has been so much manufactured truth, it makes me sick.However! I came to this thread because of CE´s kind wishes to us and to express my personal gratitude that I am a well fed and sheltered American.I am grateful that MOST of us here in the US are enjoying bounty of material value that many in the world will never experience.In some ways that may not be such a bad thing.I pray that all of our men and women that have been sent into harms way based on an old tradition of lies and deceit remain safe and return through the grace of GOD sooner than expected.Thankfully, God is on the side of his/her creation.That will not change.Love to all M

I agree Magnetron.

MT!

Don´t you just *hate* the lies that have been sold as the REAL bill of goods?

That rabbit hole goes deeeeeeeeeeeeep.

"A truth´s initial commotion is directly proportional to how deeply the lie was believed.
It wasn´t the world being round that agitated people, but that the world wasn´t flat.
When a well packed web of lies has been sold gradually to the masses over generations, the truth will seem utterly preposterous, and its speaker a raving lunatic."
Dresden James

However ..

The truth will set you free .. but first it will piss you off.
