Sukkot (Hebrew: סוכות or סֻכּוֹת, sukkōt, Feast of Booths, Feast of Tabernacles) is a Biblical holiday celebrated on the 15th day of the month of Tishrei (late September to late October).
I most appreciated that Letter from Brother Leonard Peltier I posted online yesterday for my Thankful Thanksgiving Day.
Leonard Peltier on The Day of Mourning ~Thursday, November 25, 2010
http://bit.ly/eI29iG
Thanksgiving Day is so much a part of Americana that it will remain as a National Holiday. At the same time those of us who are actually natives of Aztlan, indigenous to these troubled lands known as America, will also keep reminding Turkey Fans about the truth of history. It is just appalling that we Americans celebrate a day that originated from a massacre of 700 men, women and children. So we will keep reminding people.
What is worse is the whole Holocaust denial of the cultural genocide of what is termed Native American peoples. It was not systematic in the Nazi sense as what we know happened to the Jewish people, but even deeper it has deep cultural spiritual repercussions and impacted on the whole way of being of indigenous peoples here. The descendants of that cultural genocide are still suffering greatly.
My purpose in that my blogpost yesterday was two-fold:
to remind people of the true dark history of Thanksgiving and the genocide suffered by natives peoples; plus, the importance of being thankful for whatever blessings we may have as a way of being.
I do not what to whine to you but you may recall I was laid off from my Case Manager/Counselor job at Salvation Army on September 1st. Hope to get help from 'Sally's' to pay my rent in December. I hope to get on payroll as a Careworker for the son of a friend of mine in January. So I just want to make it through the rest of the year without having to go through the whole homeless nightmare on an existential level.
I still do my CASA 12-Steps Meetings on Sundays at 7 PM at Sally's. It helps to keep me mindful that though I may be a relatively recovered drunk and dope fiend I must remain aware of any potential relapse.
With my temperament and deepening radicalism it could be really devastating for my life and its spiritual evolution. So I still live life one day at a time. Actually it is not so much my deepening radicalism as much as my deepening naturalism. To comprehend the relevancy of a deep fundamental transformation of property relations inside the United States via Peaceful Revolution is natural. It only seems radical in the context of a reactionary social matrix spearheads by an Evil Empire.
I now advocate a Peaceful Revolution, though I am not a liberal pacifist. It may still all come to a trial by armed combat ~a war to the knife via a slit throat by creeping up on the opponent's blind side when he's taking a piss~ but I for one will do what I can to exhaust all legal peaceful methods of protest and resistance against the evilness of the Amerikan Empire!
I am certain that the human family as a whole desperately needs to rid itself of its own core character defects for there to ever be real peace on poor old battered, bruised and raped Mother Earth. That is why my own on-going progressive recovery and the progressive recovery of others in my real life is so important to me on an individual existential level.
We do not want to slaughter one big pig-pen of fascist pigs just to see a pack of fanatical wolves in control of the state machinery. I am not your old traditional Marxist-Leninist left-winger, there is no communism in terms of there being a classless state. Left-wingers are off -balance from the truth.
HOWEVER, I can see the validity of minds at least examining the merits of democratic socialism on a global level to replace the present corporate state that now rules the world with the most violent killing machine in human history. The people will win this collective struggle of humanity for its own liberation in the world or there will simply be no world to win or worth winnng. We are already an endangered species of life.
POTUS Obama has betrayed the progressives who elected him and I will not ever vote for him again. He now reminds me of an arrogant smooth-talking Chicago gangster. I suspect many people are fools and fail to see that Amerikan Fascism is not merely threatening, but Amerikan Fascism is here now ~in power and securely so!

P.S. I did not have any turkey yesterday and did not bother to do up a ham I had. I just did the Chicano thing and had a couple of burritos with chorizo con webos, papas and some stuff I had in bowl about 10:30 last night. I just want to make it through the so-called Holidays with a minimum of drama trauma. Fuck Black Friday!

Maybe it's time for everyone to switch to the Feast of Tablernacles instead....it's supposed to be a feast for all nations. Every year, people from all over the world come to Jerusalem to celebrate it, and one year I feasted with about 100 Native Americans, everything from Algonquin to Navaho in the group. They went together in traditional costume to pray at the Western Wall, and I took a bunch of them to an Arab restaurant, where needless to say, the staff were flabbergasted. That was fun. Linda [It would of been great to see a Video. so much we go through only stays in our memories for awhile, then evaporates from our minds.] --- On Fri, 11/26/10, PETER S LOPEZ <peter.lopez51@yahoo.com> wrote:
