First Genocide Cover-Up Day (Thanksgiving)
With Genocide Cover-Up Day closer and closer, I feel compelled to discuss the actions of genocide past and present.
What is Genocide Cover-Up Day, you ask? Every alleged Thanksgiving Day, the U.S. celebrates and gives thanks to the continued occupation of this nation over the indigenous of this region. It is remembered by eating turkey and praising the pilgrims where Indians were just extras in the greater play that unfolded.
However, Thanksgiving started as an annual holliday to celebrate the killing of Indians:
THE FIRST THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION
- JUNE 20, 1676
"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."

The First Thanksgiving Proclamation (June 20, 1676)
On June 20, 1676, the governing council of Charlestown, Massachusetts, held a meeting to determine how best to express thanks for the good fortune that had seen their community securely established. By unamimous vote they instructed Edward Rawson, the clerk, to proclaim June 29 as a day of thanksgiving, our first. That proclamation is reproduced here in the same language and spelling as the original.

Theresa Mitchell (then Steve) started "Genocide Cover-Up Day" as a call in program on KBOO to take place every alleged "Thanksgiving Day." Specifically to discuss the fact that this nation was indeed, founded on the crime of genocide. It has been a continued tradition since the some 12 years ago of it's founding at the KBOO radio station. I came in about 8 or 9 years ago as a phone in guest, and have been helping out ever since, even, basically, being given the reins of this KBOO institution.
Every year, this one time, we are given a chance to discuss with the community the crimes of genocide enacted here and around the world.
The show will be taking place between 9am and noon, on November 24th, alleged Thanksgiving Day, on KBOO 90.7fm. We will be taking calls at 503-231-8187 with musical breaks to give me and the guests time to rest.
Oh...the guests. This years guests are some of the usual along with at least one first timer:
Jim Craven, head of the economics department at Clark College, Blackfoot Solicitor General, and author of the Indictment of the U.S. and Canada for the crimes of genocide has confirmed his desire to be on the show.
Ani Haines, volunteer coordinator here at KBOO, and a long time study of effects of genocide 0n women and the gender specific genocides against women will be discussing "femicide."
Inga Muscio, author of the books, "Cunt" and "Autobiography of a Blue Eyed Devil," will also be on the air with us.
You will see that throughout this blog, until that time, I will make reference to the show as well as send you to websites or other information where you can learn more about this horrific crime and maybe we can bring it to an end.
