International Workers' Day ("May Day" to most of the world outside the U.S.): International Workers' Day, also called Labor Day in some countries [1] and often referred to as "May Day" [2, 3] is a celebration of laborers and the working classes that is promoted by the international labor movement and occurs every year on May 1st [4, 5] or the first Monday in May [6, 7].
Traditionally, May 1st is the date of the European spring festival of May Day. The International Workers Congress held in Paris in 1889 established the Second International for labor, socialist, and Marxist parties.
It adopted a resolution for a "great international demonstration" in support of working-class demands for the 8-hour day.
The date was chosen by the American Federation of Labor to commemorate a general strike in the United States, which had begun on May 1, 1886, and culminated in the Haymarket affair on May 4th.
The demonstration subsequently became a yearly event [5]. The 1904 Sixth Conference of the Second International, called on "all Social Democratic Party organizations and trade unions of all countries to demonstrate energetically on the First of May for the legal establishment of the 8-hour day, for the class demands of the proletariat, and for universal peace" [8].

Festivus (/ˈfɛstɪvəs/) is a secular holiday celebrated annually in America on December 23 as an alternative to the perceived familial pressures and rampant commercialism and phoniness of the Christmas (Xmas) season.
Originally created by author Daniel O'Keefe, Festivus entered popular culture after it was made the focus of the 1997 Seinfeld episode called "The Strike" [1, 2].
Festivus pole (complete)
In it, George's disgruntled Jewish dad, Frank Costanza (played by Jerry Stiller), makes the whole country laugh with recognition by actually doing something to oppose Christian-Pagan Xmas mass consumerism. O'Keefe's son, Dan O'Keefe, co-wrote the immortal episode.
The anti-commercial holiday's celebration, as depicted on Seinfeld, occurs on December 23rd and includes a
Festivus dinner,
an unadorned aluminum "Festivus pole,"
practices such as the "airing of grievances" and "feats of strength," and
the labeling of easily explainable events as "Festivus miracles" [3].
Don't call me Jewish! I'm a Festivite now.
The episode even has a tagline for all anti-Xmas folks who want to join the cultural revolution against humbug, Christmas fakery (and Chanukkah/Hanukkah mimicry of what the Goyim/Gentiles are up to), and commercial profiteering: "Festivus for the rest of us!"
It has been described both as a parody holiday festival and as a form of playful consumer resistance.[4] Journalist Allen Salkin describes it as "the perfect secular theme for an all-inclusive December gathering" [1]. More
(YouTube Movies & TV) "When We Went MAD!" (full film)
Go mad. Enlist. Kill for patriotism and bank profits.
MAD is an American humor magazine that was launched in 1952 and is currently published by DC Comics, a unit of the DC Entertainment subsidiary of Warner Bros. Discovery.
MAD was founded by editor Harvey Kurtzman and publisher William Gaines [2], launched as a comic book series before it became a magazine. It was widely imitated and influential, affecting satirical American media, as well as the cultural landscape of the late 20th century, with editor Al Feldstein increasing readership to more than two million during its 1973–1974 circulation peak [3].
It is the last surviving title in the EC Comics line, which sold Mad to Premier Industries in 1961 but closed in 1956.
Mad publishes satire on all aspects of American life and popular culture, politics, entertainment, and public figures. Its format includes TV and movie parodies and satire articles about everyday occurrences that are changed to seem humorous.
Mad's mascot, Alfred E. Neuman, is usually on the cover. More: Mad (magazine)
(wocomoHUMANITY) UNITED STATES. Brad Galloway was a white 18-year-old punk rocker in and out of trouble with the law, a street brawler already at his fourth high school, a kid without direction, and therefore a prime target for a neo-Nazi recruiter.
Promising comradeship in a gang of “like-minded” guys, a place where Brad could finally find what he wanted most: belonging.
I really want white Canada to be my 51st state.
SKINHEAD tells Brad’s story – how he spent 13 years in “the movement,” climbing the ranks from skinhead rabble-rouser to the Canadian boss of an ultra-violent U.S. gang called Volksfront.
Brad has been out for five years, raising a family and getting his university degree in criminology. But most of all, he’s been working on leaving behind the hate groups that defined who he was for so much of his life – and watching those groups come back to life.
“I call them white supremacy groups because that's all it is,” says Brad Galloway. “What they are presenting as new is actually a very old idea of white marginalization. “I think my message is this: understand by adopting these types of extreme ideologies, that you are signing up for losing those years of your life. You will definitely lose time and you will be affecting others negatively. You will lose that time in your life.”

(WION) After 20 years of construction, the $1 billion Grand Egyptian Museum finally opens, but rather than showing the world all that this cultural marvel might contain, Zahi "Indian Jones" Hawass has succeeded in burying the truth about the construction of the pyramids and underworld caverns, hollows, caves, and cities. Once fired for all his cover ups and claims that modern Egyptians are related to the builders, now he goes unquestioned, likely due to corrupt leadership in a nation controlled by Israel, CIA, and USA.

Manumission, or enfranchisement (emancipation), is the act of freeing slaves by their owners.
Different approaches to manumission were developed, each specific to the time and place of a particular society. Historian Verene Shepherd states that the most widely used term is gratuitous manumission, "the conferment of freedom on the enslaved by enslavers before the end of the slave system" [1].
Gregg Braden, what keeps us disempowered? - When was first legal interracial marriage in US?
The motivations for manumission were complex and varied. Firstly, it may present itself as a sentimental and benevolent gesture. One typical scenario was the freeing in the master's will of a devoted servant after long years of service.
A trusted bailiff might be manumitted as a gesture of gratitude. For those working as agricultural laborers or in workshops, there was little likelihood of being so noticed.
What about liberation from samsara, Graham Hancock?
In general, it was more common for older slaves to be given freedom.
Legislation under the early Roman Empire put limits on the number of slaves that could be freed in wills (lex Fufia Caninia, 2 BC), which suggests that it had been widely used.
Freeing slaves could serve the pragmatic interests of the owner. The prospect of manumission worked as an incentive for slaves to be industrious and compliant.
Roman slaves were paid a wage (peculium), which they could save up to buy themselves freedom. Manumission contracts, found in some abundance at Delphi (ancient Greece), specify in detail the prerequisites for liberation. More
