Thanksgiving at Spruce

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday of the year, period. When I was a kid, we used to have huge feasts that seemed to last all day and mysteriously re-appear for the next week in various disguises. Thanksgiving dinner is a ritual. You know exactly whats gonna happen.

11am: Dress up nice for the in laws and wear the biggest pants you have
1pm: Full Thanksgiving mode, food on the table, biggest decision, more stuffing or stealing the rest of the dark meat you hid below all the carved white meat
2pm: very close to bursting, mind says keep going, stomach urges you to stop. Note: always listen to your stomach
3pm: waddling around like an overweight penguin, strategically planning how to lure cousin from sofa to snag the "thanksgiving nap", tell him grandma wants to talk to him, works every time
4pm: quiet slumber, can't get dreams of flying turkeys out of my head
5pm: you would think not possible but craving a turkey, cranberry and mayo sandwich, b-line to the kitchen
6pm: can not stand the smell of turkey any more, till next year.

Well, we may be far away from home, but cooking Thanksgiving dinner is for me one of the highlights of my year. I love it. We have two options this year. You can book a family style feast in our private dining room with a whole roasted turkey and all the fixin's or come in for a 3 course set that has everything on one plate.

Clues::
Air France Concorde
Christa McAuliffe, Concord, NH
Carnaval's Costa Concordia
Concord:::In the "eye of The Beast"
Downey Savings
90s:: "He gets 4 years.", "(His chance is OVER!!)":::2.1.03 (SS Columbia) & 11.26.03 (Aérospatiale-BAC Concorde).
My miracle of Ocean Beach, witnessed by MILLIONS on the West Coast
Mt. Zion:::Slowly being eaten away until one day paradise is gone forever
Carry That Weight


The Jews who abandoned their faith, no longer remaining devout, were punished, consistant with their gross level of disfavor.
It's very much like blacks:::Without some "enforcer" stricktly regulating their behavior (slavery, KKK) their level of disfavor dictated the gods push them into indecent behavior, and they become out of control. Only through a good relationship with the gods through devout faith can they avoid this fate.
Whereas once it was forced on American blacks, because of the deterioration of the 20th century changes it must now be voluntary, throught Islam, and too many fail to embrace or remain devout.
Trusting Jews is like trusting Italians, and the gods have sent AMPLE clues.

The gods are monsters::Jeffrey Dahmer, Speed Freak Killers, Japanese nuclear crisis, Holocaust. In all disturbing cases the gods at least telepathically led the victims if not indirectly participated by compelling each of these events, atrocity after horrific atrocity, in the name of poetic justice:::Monster Japanese (Rataan Death March, Rape of Nanking, Korean Comfort Women). The gods positioned the wicked Jews to "take back" the Second Coming, compelling them to believe it is rightfully theirs and sabotaging the Situation. Considering the real/Matrix Second Coming duality perhaps this relationship existed with Jesus as well and the Jesus spoke of in the Bible isn't the real Jesus Christ.

In the course of decay and deterioration of the favor of the people the gods instructed their clone host tools in corporate to make changes to their products and subsequently in people's lives. The switch to plastic/disposable-based packaging is an outstanding example. Another is the extensive use/proliferation of disposable diapers. Whereas diaper services were the norm during the 20th cenutry a change occurred in the 70s/80s and parents began to incurr evil upon their children, and sadly in some cases think they were "earning" off their own infant children!!!

"Poisoning their brainwashed minds." xtainity brainwashed you. Liberalism is the poison.
The gods used xtainity to demonize Lucifer, ensuring people refused to heed the teachings of THE SECOND COMING!!!. Lucifer is the Second Coming of Christ!!!
xtianity is the product of the Apostle's books of the New Testiment and can't be trusted to contain the true teachings of Jesus Christ. Just like each one of you corrupt whores, the gods could have tempted them with immortality if they lied when writing the New Tesatiment. Then the gods dictated verbatim specifically to parlay into the destructive phenominah known as xtianity.
We have seen the gods engage in similar behavior to keep people away from good religions, with the Jews in Palestine and Muslims recently post-9.11, demonizing both.
This is another of the god's wicked curveballs, their reverse positioning tool extensively employed, utilizing positioning to prepare for the Apocalypse and your "consolation prize" of "1000 years with Jesus on Earth".

The clue was sent years and years ago to the pathetic disfavored looking for something for nothing:::"(He never tried.)"
