(I just want to preface this article by stating that after the last four years, and realizing how much of what we know has all been a lie, how much of our history is a lie? Is the origin story of the 1st Thanksgiving 100% true or has it been tweaked here and there? Our system has long been usurped by those that control the world and our history has been rewritten. We see them at work even now trying to do that. They don’t like Thanksgiving and are now trying to link it to something only ‘evil White people’ celebrate.
But alas, we can still celebrate all God has done for us and offer Him thanksgiving, this Thursday, and every day.)
Despite the Establishments attempt to rewrite history, truth will out. Yes?
Here’s a collection of 10 headlines talking about how White people are evil and how they ruined Thanksgiving:

And here’s the origin story as we know it:
Yahoo News reports:
Thanksgiving is celebrated on Thursday, Nov. 28 this year, and as the holiday quickly approaches many are left wondering: When was the first Thanksgiving? What were the first Thanksgiving Day traditions?
ADVERTISEMENTWell, we’ve got you covered. Here’s a bit of history about Thanksgiving and traditions surrounding the holiday.
Who attended the first Thanksgiving?
The first Thanksgiving Day “celebration” is said to have taken place in 1621, the History Channel reports. The story, historically told from the white pilgrim’s perspective, is that colonists shared a meal with the indigenous Wampanoag people to give thanks for a successful fall harvest.This lore, however, is not completely accurate. Most accounts of the event’s significance are often overstated, USA TODAY journalist Eryn Dion noted in her reporting.
Members of the Wampanoag were not formally invited as a gesture of good grace. Instead, the pilgrims became rowdy at their feast and began shooting into the air. Fearing violence, Wampanoag warriors came to identify the commotion — prepared for war if need be — but saw it was a celebration and eventually joined in.
When did Thanksgiving become national holiday?
The holiday was recognized nationally in 1863.What president made Thanksgiving a national holiday?
President Abraham Lincoln designated the final Thursday of November to be “Thanksgiving,” the History Channel reports. It was observed on that day until 1939 when President Franklin Delano Roosevelt solidified it as the fourth Thursday, hoping to increase retail sales during the Great Depression.This sentiment has continued throughout the decades as holiday shopping and spending flourishes around Thanksgiving and thereafter.
When was the first Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade?
The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade is an American tradition that started in 1924 and has been telecast on NBC since 1953. The parade makes its way from the Upper West Side of Manhattan to Macy’s flagship store at Herald Square, drawing more than 3 million spectators along the route each year.
Here’s a fun fact that the System likes to gloss over, Native Americans owned slaves.

And what Disney’s Pocahontas taught us about Native Americans wasn’t anywhere near the truth.
“He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavored to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes, and conditions.” https://t.co/QicgfjK0Rl pic.twitter.com/9G7WLW1EIo

Here’s to a Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!
May you all have popcorn, jelly beans and ice cream, just like the original Pilgrims and Indians did.

Classic Thanksgiving prayer that’s very appropriate for right now:
We thank God for the opportunity to create a new world of freedom and justice.
And that’s precisely what’s happening right now.
