What Exactly is Thanksgiving?

[Get Boldened]

hey everyone

What exactly is thanksgiving? what kind of illuminati rituals are performed on this thursday? I need to know as soon as possible because tomorrow's thursday and I have my own rituals to perform.

I’m not aware of it being a ritual day. It started out as a yearly harvest festival and slowly got changed into what it is today. Roosevelt changed the day to a week earlier to kick start the Christmas shopping earlier but the public forced him to change it back to the last Thursday. So the date doesn’t seem to be that important since Roosevelt felt it was ok to change it.

I ran across this article and they say thanksgiving was originally June 29th.

THE FIRST THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION

JUNE 20, 1676

Did you know that Thanksgiving was originally in the summer?

"The Holy God having by a long and Continual Series of his Afflictive dispensations in and by the present Warr with the Heathen Natives of this land, written and brought to pass bitter things against his own Covenant people in this wilderness, yet so that we evidently discern that in the midst of his judgements he hath remembered mercy, having remembered his Footstool in the day of his sore displeasure against us for our sins, with many singular Intimations of his Fatherly Compassion, and regard; reserving many of our Towns from Desolation Threatened, and attempted by the Enemy, and giving us especially of late with many of our Confederates many signal Advantages against them, without such Disadvantage to ourselves as formerly we have been sensible of, if it be the Lord's mercy that we are not consumed, It certainly bespeaks our positive Thankfulness, when our Enemies are in any measure disappointed or destroyed; and fearing the Lord should take notice under so many Intimations of his returning mercy, we should be found an Insensible people, as not standing before Him with Thanksgiving, as well as lading him with our Complaints in the time of pressing Afflictions:

The Council has thought meet to appoint and set apart the 29th day of this instant June, as a day of Solemn Thanksgiving and praise to God for such his Goodness and Favour, many Particulars of which mercy might be Instanced, but we doubt not those who are sensible of God's Afflictions, have been as diligent to espy him returning to us; and that the Lord may behold us as a People offering Praise and thereby glorifying Him; the Council doth commend it to the Respective Ministers, Elders and people of this Jurisdiction; Solemnly and seriously to keep the same Beseeching that being perswaded by the mercies of God we may all, even this whole people offer up our bodies and soulds as a living and acceptable Service unto God by Jesus Christ."

This next article is the disturbing truth about thanksgiving. 

The First Thanksgiving

From the Community Endeavor News, November, 1995,
as reprinted in Healing Global Wounds, Fall, 1996

The first official Thanksgiving wasn't a festive gathering of Indians and Pilgrims, but rather a celebration of the massacre of 700 Pequot men, women and children, an anthropologist says. Due to age and illness his voice cracks as he talks about the holiday, but William B. Newell, 84, talks with force as he discusses Thanksgiving. Newell, a Penobscot, has degrees from two universities, and was the former chairman of the anthropology department at the University of Connecticut.

"Thanksgiving Day was first officially proclaimed by the Governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1637 to commemorate the massacre of 700 men, women and children who were celebrating their annual green corn dance-Thanksgiving Day to them-in their own house," Newell said.

"Gathered in this place of meeting they were attacked by mercenaries and Dutch and English. The Indians were ordered from the building and as they came forth they were shot down. The rest were burned alive in the building," he said.

Newell based his research on studies of Holland Documents and the 13 volume Colonial Documentary History, both thick sets of letters and reports from colonial officials to their superiors and the king in England, and the private papers of Sir William Johnson, British Indian agent for the New York colony for 30 years in the mid-1600s.

"My research is authentic because it is documentary," Newell said. "You can't get anything more accurate than that because it is first hand. It is not hearsay."

Newell said the next 100 Thanksgivings commemorated the killing of the Indians at what is now Groton, Ct. [home of a nuclear submarine base] rather than a celebration with them. He said the image of Indians and Pilgrims sitting around a large table to celebrate Thanksgiving Day was "fictitious" although Indians did share food with the first settlers.

Cute exchanges to cheer up this thread to prepare for some serious stuff.

I think the spirit of thanksgiving for most people is to share and bond. If it does portray the killings of indians and the date does not matter then I suppose the turkey is symbolic of the indian's deaths or sacrifice (not to disgust anyone). There is probably something very estoric about the red turkey (its tail matches what an indian wears). But anyways as long as you have the spirit of bonding and sharing that's all it matters. The Illuminati are probably laughing their boots off every Thanksgiving because they think of it as some cruel joke.

And it's probably right that Thanksgiving was moved to supercharge Christmas. I noticed that Black Friday was RIGHT AFTER Thanksgiving. Family members the next day will probably get together and shop like crazy. This would be similar to a clearance sell, but people buy as much as they can and then the stores can stock up for the holiday. Over this month they make back what they lost on Black Friday.
