[i should have received this entry months ago, but just got it now, because the prison had censored it on the grounds that it talked "about rioting/and revolutionary ideas," was "deemed to be a threat to legitimate penalogical interests" and "contains material or literature which would pose a threat to institutional security or the safety of other person if allowed to be possessed by inmates." So please forgive the outdatedness, but this gives you a sense of what we're dealing with.]

Thanksgiving: Doorway to the Holidaze Season

As politicized prisoners of consciousness, pushing through the George Jackson Phenomenon, it can be difficult reconciling our reconstructed consciousness and political awareness to the consumer, consumption and debt our loved ones are seduced into each year, beginning with the sanctimonious and hypocritical Thanksgiving: doorway to the holidaze season of greed, gluttony, and depression. A season in which the number of suicides, murders, divorces, nervous breakdowns, intra-family disputes, leading to violence, assaults, robberies, alcohol an drug-related overdoses are increased exponentially.

In attempting to raise consciousness, we must remember our loved ones are trapped in the hustle and bustle of everyday life, most working two or three jobs trying to stay a step ahead of bill collectors and keeping our children away from negativity. Therefore, our approach must be grounded in a sincere desire to insure their daily experiences are free of manipulation, usury, and exploitation.

Which is why George Jackson's teachings are the ideal sounding board to gauge our motivations, approach, and goals. G teaches that "revolution should be love inspired" and that "consciousness is the opposite of indifference or blindness, blankness promoting consciousness involves the general dissemination of the concept that each of us is part of a universal action and interaction. That poles are somewhere connected that there are material causes for trauma, vertigo, degenerative disease, connections, cause and effect, clarity on their relation and interrelations. The connection with the past, continuity, flow, movement, the awareness that nothing, nothing remains the same for long."

Consciousness being the opposite of indifference of blindness, blankness refers to the fact that tour position as ppoc is predicated on the fact that we at some point had chosen material gain or personal pleasure over social well-being.

Not being indifferent or blind in this reality allows us to empathize with why our loved ones fall victim to the amerikan holidaze season. From this vantage point we are able to grasp the full meaning of G's teaching that "acceptance of enslavement is deeply buried in the pathogenic character types of capitalism. It is a result of the sense of dread and anxiety which is the lot of all men under capitalist rule. Compulsive behavior and disordered obsessional longings are actually made synonymous with "character in disordered society" and that "at the center of revolution is realism."

This realism allows us to realize that in actuality our loved ones gathering on the last Thursday in November for Thanksgiving is more about their socioeconomic condition. Therefore, we should not criticize them for gathering together or exchanging gifts/pleasantries during this holidaze sickness.

Instead, we should offer elucidations of the bodies buried in the soil of Thanksgiving. Ultimately, our aim is that they will begin expressing Thanksgiving/Christmas cheer, love, and commitment to one anther's' well-being every day as a natural occurrence of their beginning to heal the "pathogenic character types of capitalism."

This isn't to say that the amerikan holidays are the be all and end all of our problems. They are a large part, perhaps a kind to the needles, that have been used to infect unsuspecting Black, First Nations and Mexican women with sterilizing drugs and "degenerative disease" throughout amerika's history.

We cannot fail to point out that in amerikan elementary schools our children, the descendants of amerika's most heinously unadjudicated crimes are being indoctrinated and trained to celebrate the holocaust and genocide committed against their ancestors. Perpetuating their calcification while maintaining this Empire's occupation, mass murder, rape and robbery.

In truth what is celebrated as Thanksgiving today originated in 1863 under Abe Lincoln, who after being forced by the unrelenting ass whipping his union troops were suffering at the hands of the confederate army, from 1861-62 decreed emancipation in January 1863 to all "colonial captives (slaves) in rebellion states who would fight for his union. This forced decision and the infusion of Black men who would fight for his union. This forced decision and the infusion of Black men turned the tide, forcing confederate troops to surrender. Enabling Lincoln's troops to cut Texas, Arkansas, and Louisiana off leading to the Union victory. Wanting to appease the wounded egos of his defeated brothers and restore peace amongst the amerikan settlers, he issued the 1863 proclamation which stated in part, "it has seemed to me fit and proper that they should solemnly, reverently and gratefully acknowledged as with one heart and one voice, by the whole Amerikan people...to set apart and observe the last Thursday of November next as a day of Thanksgiving."

By going about our task of raising consciousness in this manner it becomes much easier to draw-out not only the contradictions, such as celebrating slavery/colonialism and the mass-murder of First Nations people under the lie of Thanksgiving but we are able to display the "connections, connections, cause and effect, clarity on their relation and intra-relations, the connection with the past."

As well as satisfy the requirement and accomplish "the general dissemination of the concept that each of us is part of a universal action and intra action." In this way our loved ones will begin to realize that "the poles are somewhere connected" enabling them to self-diagnose the fact that "there are material causes for trauma, vertigo, degenerative disease."

Self-diagnosis in connection with truth will begin to act as a depurative once purged of the decadent "Holidaze" consciousness begins to rise and in this way we move a step closer to making Jonathan Jackson's call for love and loyalty to be our new medium of exchange reality.
