Rutte (VVD) roemt Turkije-deal en wil ook concentratiekampen in Noord-Afrika.....

Je wordt de laatste weken werkelijk schijtziek van de reguliere Nederlandse media, die de loftrompet steken over 'Rutte's staatsmanschap......' Daarbij wijst men nu ook naar het pleidooi van deze disfunctionerende VVD opperhufter* voor concentratiekampen in de EU en Noord-Afrika...... Lof voor het herintroduceren van concentratiekampen........

Hoorde vanmorgen (op BNR rond 8.21 u.) een paar walgelijke, en leugenachtige uitspraken van Rutte. Zo stelde de schoft dat de Turkije-deal een mooi voorbeeld is voor de 'opvang' van vluchtelingen in Noord-Afrika...... Hij had zelfs het gore lef te stellen dat ook het opnemen van vluchtelingen uit Turkije werkt, de opname van vluchtelingen door EU lidstaten, zoals afgesproken in de peperdure Turkije-deal....... ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! Uiteraard een enorme leugen zoals je begrijpt en zoals de werkelijkheid laat zien.....

In Turkije worden de vluchtelingen al een aantal jaren in concentratiekampen opgevangen waar het aan alles ontbreekt...... Al in 2013 heeft de EU honderden miljoenen euro's aan belastinggeld gestoken in een betere opvang van vluchtelingen, geld dat voor het grootste deel is verdwenen in de zakken van de Erdogan kliek...... Voor politici uit de EU heeft Turkije een paar modelkampen, zodat men na een kleine rondreis tevreden kan kijken naar een deal die recht ingaat tegen het VN Vluchtelingenverdrag.......

De meeste vluchtelingen in Turkije zitten in kampen die in onherbergzame gebieden zijn gevestigd, kampen waar mensenrechtenorganisaties, hulpverleningsorganisaties als het Rode Kruis, advocaten en anderen geen toegang hebben, concentratiekampen waar het aan alles ontbreekt en waar zelfs hele gezinnen gevangen worden gehouden....... De situatie waarin deze mensen zitten is erbarmelijk....

Voorts buiten Turkse landbouwers kinderen van vluchtelingen uit als loonslaven (vluchtelingen die de hiervoor aangehaalde concentratiekampen kampen hebben weten te ontwijken)...... Waar het woord 'loon' een veel te mooi woord is voor de fooi waarmee deze kinderen worden afgescheept voor lang (wat betreft het aantal uren) en zwaar werk......

Voorts stuurt Turkije het overgrote deel van de vluchtelingen terug, desnoods rechtstreeks naar een oorlogsgebied....... Daarnaast schiet het Turkse leger al vanaf grote afstand op vluchtelingen die bijvoorbeeld in de richting van de Turks - Syrische grens lopen, dit om het af te schrikken nog verder te gaan....

Nee, echt een mooi voorbeeld aldus Rutte......... Dan te bedenken dat deze vluchtelingenstromen opgang zijn gekomen door de illegale oorlogen van het westen o.l.v. de VS, in landen waar het westen niets te zoeken heeft.......

* Waarbij opgemerkt dient te worden, dat hij met zijn 'werk' wel bewijst een echte hufter te zijn, tja is Rutte toch nog ergens goed in......

Angela Merkel uitgeregeerd: geconcentreerde gesloten opvang van vluchtelingen in transitcentra, ofwel concentratiekampen in Duitsland anno 2018

Het is meer dan duidelijk dat Merkel het onderspit heeft gedolven in de strijd met de fascistische CSU minister Seehofer, die dreigde de Beierse grenzen te sluiten als Merkel niet overstag zou gaan......

Vluchtelingen zullen in Duitsland worden opgevangen in gesloten 'transitcentra' waar men zal controleren via welk land de vluchtelingen de EU zijn binnengekomen en hen daarna zal uitwijzen naar dat land......

Het woord 'kampen' mocht niet worden gebruikt, echter als je ziet wat er zal gebeuren als e.e.a. doorgaat (er is grote weerstand tegen dit plan in de SPD, de coalitiepartner van de CDU en CSU), de vluchtelingen ofwel mensen geconcentreerd zullen worden opgesloten in 'centra', waarvoor je zonder meer het woord 'concentratiekampen' kan gebruiken........

Het is dan ook meer dan duidelijk dat het gedaan is met Merkel als premier, immers een paar jaar geleden nog, zou ze niet akkoord zijn gegaan met dit lamlendige, fascistoïde akkoord........

Merkel durfde nieuwe verkiezingen niet aan en was te beroerd om in gesprek te gaan met de Groenen voor steun, als men de CSU uit de regering zou schoppen vanwege de houding in deze zaak......

De CSU, een partij die in Beieren alleen op de verkiezingsformulieren staat, daar de CDU zich daar volgens afspraak niet mag meten met haar 'zusterpartij......' Terwijl er veel CSU stemmers in Beieren zijn, die veel liever op de CDU zouden stemmen, dan op de benepen extreem rechtse CSU (onbegrijpelijk overigens dat deze mensen dan niet op een andere partij stemmen, 'maar goed...')

Als de CDU verstandig is, maakt het een eind aan de langdurige samenwerking met de Beierse CSU en stelt het zich ook in Beieren verkiesbaar.

Laten we hopen dat dit niet de opmaat is tot dit soort centra in de rest van de EU, ook al willen de Nederlandse politici als plork Rutte dolgraag vluchtelingen opvangen in concentratiekampen in de EU en daarna in Noord-Afrika........ Een plan dat minstens zo fout is, als het Duitse compromis....

Concentratiekampen in Duitsland anno 2018, hoe is het in godsnaam mogelijk....??!!!

PS: in de maand juni zijn meer dan 600 gevluchte mensen verdronken in de Middellandse Zee...... 'Gelukzoekers' die verdronken, waaronder een fiks aantal kinderen..... Dan zijn er nog politici die durven te zeggen dat de reddingsacties op de Middellandse Zee, door particuliere hulporganisaties, per direct moeten worden verboden......... Overigens zijn deze politici van VVD, PVV en CDA ook tegen deze reddingsacties door EU organisaties....... 'Echte mensen' zal ik maar denken......

CDU en CSU bedriegen kiezers in Beieren en hoe vluchtelingen tot een hysterische CSU crisis hebben geleid.....

Horst Seehofer, de CSU minister van Binnenlandse Zaken en 'Heimat' (ha! ha!) dreigt met aftreden als er niet naar hem wordt geluisterd (vooral door CDU premier Merkel) en Beieren bijvoorbeeld niet haar grenzen mag sluiten voor 'de enorme aanwas' van vluchtelingen....* Overigens kan je de drie grensovergangen van Beieren wel afsluiten, maar de rest van de grens daar is makkelijk op andere plekken te overschrijden zonder enige controle.......

De politieke verhoudingen in Beieren zijn ronduit belachelijk, zo kunnen inwoners van die deelstaat niet stemmen op de CDU, maar alleen op de CSU, me dunkt een fikse schending van het democratisch recht om te stemmen op de landelijke partij waar je je bij thuis voelt (dat zou geen reden moeten zijn, 'maar goed...') of op de partij die een beleid voert waar je achter staat.....

Bij de CDU is men volkomen onterecht bang voor een splitsing van CDU en CSU, terwijl die laatste partij in feite een veel te grote vinger in de politieke pap heeft en bij tijd en wijle met handelen en uitlatingen van haar politici meer weg heeft van een extreem rechtse partij.....

Onbegrijpelijk dat de CDU niet al lang een eind heeft gemaakt aan deze onzalige samenwerking, daar een groot aantal CSU stemmers in Beieren heeft laten weten liever te willen stemmen op de CDU, i.p.v. de CSU......

Onbegrijpelijk ook dat een zo kleine partij als de CSU een regering in gijzeling kan houden......

Als de CDU een nog enigszins normaal vluchtelingenbeleid wil voeren, zal de partij een eind moeten maken aan de samenwerking met de CSU en als daar nieuwe verkiezingen voor nodig zijn dan moet dat maar (al zou de CDU ook de Groenen in de huidige coalitie kunnen trekken)........

* Een heel smerige leugen die het goed doet bij de nazi-sympathisanten in de CSU, het aantal vluchtelingen is drastisch teruggelopen sinds Turkije vluchtelingen voor het overgrote deel opsluit in wat het best kan worden vergeleken met concentratiekampen en nieuwe aanwas tegengaat door vluchtelingen bij de grens terug te sturen, niet zelden onder bedreiging van met scherp geladen wapens of door op grote afstand al te schieten op die vluchtelingen (de vermaledijde Turkije-deal à 6 miljard euro, met dank aan PvdA plork Timmermans)..... Daarnaast hebben landen als Hongarije op de Balkan en uitlopers daarvan de grenzen dusdanig afgesloten dat er geen hond doorheen kan komen, waar men in het grensgebied zelfs met scherp geladen wapens jaagt op vluchtelingen (hoeveel vluchtelingen zijn daar al vermoord? Journalisten mogen dat gebied niet in......)...... Overigens is het zuidelijke grensgebied van Beieren met Italië veel moeilijker te overschrijden dit vanwege het moeilijke terrein (het Alpengebergte...)

Peuter vluchtelingen moeten eigen zaak bepleiten in VS rechtszalen, de VS: het land van de 'ongekende mogelijkheden....'


Als je denkt alles wel gehad te hebben over de meer dan schunnige, inhumane manier waarop de VS omgaat met vluchtelingen, wordt je verrast door een volgend staaltje onwerkelijk en schandalig overheidsbeleid in de Verenging van Politiestaten die men de VS noemt....

Anti-Media bracht het hieronder opgenomen artikel van Elliot Gabriel, eerder geplaatst op MintPress News, waarin Gabriel ingaat op het meer dan idiote feit dat zelfs peuters van 3 jaar hun eigen zaak moeten bepleiten voor 'rechtbanken' in de VS.......

Kinderen die maar één ding willen: terug naar mama en/of papa, voor een rechtbank dagen en horen...... De 'rechters' in de VS moeten de oren van hun kop schamen dat ze niet al lang hun werk hebben neergelegd tot deze afschuwelijke gang van zaken van tafel is......

Overigens dateert het opsluiten van kinderen die werden gescheiden van hun ouders al uit de tijd van Obama*, de 'vredesduif......' 

Het voorgaande is de zoveelste schending van het VN Vluchtelingenverdrag door een westers land (en bepaald niet de eerste keer door de VS, zoals weer eens blijkt...)...... Moet je nagaan: de VS is in 9 van de 10 gevallen aan te wijzen als de diepe oorzaak achter de vlucht van mensen uit Latijns Amerika...... (en uit het Midden-Oosten, al is de VS daar, met hulp van andere NAVO landen in 100% van de gevallen verantwoordelijk voor de vluchtelingenstromen.......)

Het voorgaande geeft ten overvloede nog eens aan dat de rechtspraak in de VS zo krom is als een hoepel en aan dat land levert Nederland zelfs eigen burgers uit...........

Immigrant Toddlers Ordered to Appear in Federal Court Alone

Immigrant families line up to enter the central bus station after they were processed and released by U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Sunday, June 24, 2018, in McAllen, Texas. David J. Phillip | AP

(MPN— Immigrant children as young as three years old are being forced to hold their own in deportation proceedings in federal court, judges have reported, further confirming how the cruelties of the U.S. immigrant enforcement regime have been largely unhindered by the local and global controversy it’s provoked.

The practice began under former President Barack Obama, but has widened under President Trump to encompass an ever-larger group of youth — who are often toddlers, unable to understand the dire circumstances that they’re in.

Speaking to Texas Tribune, Immigrant Defenders Law Center in Los Angeles executive director Lindsay Toczylowski said:
We were representing a 3-year-old in court recently who had been separated from the parents. And the child — in the middle of the hearing — started climbing up on the table … It really highlighted the absurdity of what we’re doing with these kids.”

Continuing, she noted that the children are scarcely able to put into words the conditions – frequently violent – that force the families to leave their homes and make the treacherous journey to the north:
The parent might be the only one who knows why they fled from the home country, and the child is in a disadvantageous position to defend themselves.
The kids don’t understand the intricacies that are involved with deportation and immigration court … They do understand that they have been separated from their parents, and the primary goal is to get back with people they love.”

Over 2,000 children are slated to face the proceedings in the absence of their parents, who alone have the vocabulary and the knowledge to properly explain to authorities what the context was that drove them to seek asylum or enter the United States.

While a federal judge ruled earlier this week that the reuniting of separated families must be a priority for the Trump administration, immigration lawyers are saying that this won’t help those parents who have already been sent home while their children languish in U.S. detention facilities. The lawyers also note that no actual model for such a reunification exists yet.

The revelation is just the latest indication of the enormous human costs of Trump’s stepped-up and “zero tolerance” immigration enforcement, mass confinement and deportation regime.

Confusion Reigns but the War on Migrants Must Continue

Now the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agency has signaled that it will cease handing parents over to authorities until the administration can figure out how to make good on their prosecution without ripping their children from their arms.

Such a move would, in effect, be tantamount to the “catch and release” program opposed by Trump, which saw unauthorized migrants being released and told to return to face a judge in the future.

The government has been unable to cope with the demands placed on its detention and concentration camp facilities, leading to a crisis of overcrowding, rights abuses, and even calls by President Trump to suspend due process and asylum-protection rights for unauthorized immigrants.

Tweeting on Sunday, Trump said:
We cannot allow all of these people to invade our Country. When somebody comes in, we must immediately, with no Judges or Court Cases, bring them back from where they came [sic].”
Cannot accept all of the people trying to break into our Country. Strong Borders, No Crime!”

The CBP move also comes shortly after the Department of Defense confirmed that it had been tasked by the administration to hold migrants in camps within 45 days as an initial step toward managing the encampment of a migrant “family population of up to 12,000 people.”
If facilities are not available then camps meant to contain around 4,000 people each will be built at three separate locations, according to the Pentagon.

Trump appears to be faced with no good options, as the anger and outcry over his policies continues to build. The existing laws and restraints on the immigration enforcement regime that he inherited from past administrations have been a mere inconvenience for the president as he pursues this latest escalated war on migrants.

Northwest Immigrant Rights Project head Jorge Baron told Reuters:
Here, I think he is making it clear, he just doesn’t want anybody here. He wants people to just be sent back, no matter what.”


====================================
* Onder Obama werden kinderen van vluchtelingen overigens ook al gescheiden van hun ouders en werden ze in kooien opgesloten (ofwel in concentratiekampen)...... Hier een paar foto's uit die tijd, die democraten dachten te kunnen gebruiken als bewijs voor de inhumane opvang door de Trump administratie:

Vluchtelingencrisis EU één op één veroorzaakt door de VS (met hulp van de NAVO).....

Eric Zuesse, de schrijver van het hieronder opgenomen artikel dat verscheen op de Strategic Culture Foundation, begint ermee de beschuldiging van Trump aan te halen, waarin deze duivel de Duitse politieke leiders en die van andere EU landen, de schuld voor de vluchtelingencrisis in 'Europa' in de schoenen schuift.....

In werkelijkheid is het, zoals op deze plek al zo vaak gesteld, juist de schuld van de VS (met de NAVO aan de hand) dat illegale oorlogen begint in landen die voor haar ofwel strategisch liggen dan wel landen zijn die over grote voorraden olie en gas of andere belangrijke grondstoffen beschikken.......

Zuesse toont ten overvloede in zijn redelijk uitgebreide artikel aan dat inderdaad de VS verantwoordelijk is voor de 'vluchtelingencrisis' in de EU landen.... (eigenlijk nog veel erger: voor de enorme ellende en het gigantisch aantal doden in landen die het slachtoffer zijn van de grootscheepse VS terreur >> alleen deze eeuw al ruim meer dan 2 miljoen moorden...)

Daarnaast spreekt men in de EU van een vluchtelingencrisis, terwijl de landen waar de VS haar illegale oorlogen voert en de landen daaromheen echt te maken hebben met een vluchtelingencrisis, daar 90% van de vluchtelingen in eigen land dan wel in de regio hun toevlucht zoeken!!

Zuesse stelt dat Obama m.n. verantwoordelijk is voor de vluchtelingencrisis, echter in de EU hadden we al een grote toeloop van vluchtelingen nadat de VS Afghanistan en Irak aanviel, beide in feite illegale oorlogen, maar voor die oorlogen was toch echt de Bush administratie verantwoordelijk...

Ach zal komen doordat Zuesse nu eenmaal in de VS woont en er in de VS na het begin van de illegale oorlogen tegen Afghanistan en Irak weinig of geen aandacht was voor de vluchtelingstromen die deze oorlogen opgang brachten. Al moet gezegd dat vergeleken met de huidige hysterie over vluchtelingen, er na aanvang van de vluchtelingenstromen uit Afghanistan en Irak er amper sprake was van veel ophef. Alleen fascistische griezels als Wilders hadden destijds een grote bek over 'het enorme aantal vluchtelingen', waar deze figuren zo min mogelijk over de oorzaak van het vluchten wilden weten en daar al helemaal niet over naar buiten zijn getreden (tijdens het haatzaaien tegen en angstzaaien voor vluchtelingen, gedurende de voorlichting aan uh oplichting van volgelingen)...... Waar de destijds politieke tegenstanders van Wilders intussen veel van de haat- en angstzaaierij die Wilders bracht, intussen hebben overgenomen, neem het CDA en de VVD....

Zuesse stelt voorts dat Obama in 2011 besloot dat er regeringswisselingen moesten plaatsvinden in Oekraïne, Libië en Syrië, echter om een voorbeeld te nemen: al in 2006 werden de eerste plannen gemaakt om in de Syrische politiek in te grijpen, middels een opstand die moest resulteren in een staatsgreep.... Zoals we nu weten is die operatie gelukt, waar deze in Syrië mislukte. Hetzelfde scenario werd in Libië 'met succes' uitgevoerd, zodat dit land: -in puin ligt en -van het rijkste Afrikaanse land is verworden tot bijna het armste van dat continent, een land dat volkomen in chaos is gestort en waar zelfs openlijke slavenmarkten worden gehouden......

How the US, Under Obama, Created Europe’s Refugee Crisis

How the US, Under Obama, Created Europe’s Refugee Crisis

ERIC ZUESSE | 24.06.2018 | WORLD EUROPEMIDDLE EAST

The current US President, Donald Trump, claimed on June 18th, that Germany’s leadership, and the leadership in other EU nations, caused the refugee-crisis that Europe is facing:  
The people of Germany are turning against their leadership as migration is rocking the already tenuous Berlin coalition. Crime in Germany is way up. Big mistake made all over Europe in allowing millions of people in who have so strongly and violently changed their culture!”
The US Government is clearly lying about this. The US Government itself caused this crisis that Europeans are struggling to deal with. Would the crisis even exist, at all, if the US had not invaded and tried to overthrow (and in some instances actually overthrown) the governments in Libya, Syria, and elsewhere — the places from which these refugees are escaping? The US Government, and a few of its allies in Europe (the ones who actually therefore really do share in some of the authentic blame for this crisis) caused this war and government-overthrow, etc., but Germany’s Government wasn’t among them, nor were many of the others in Europe. If the US Government had not led these invasions, probably not even France would have participated in any of them. The US Government, alone, is responsible for having caused these refugees. The US Government itself created this enormous burden to Europe, and yet refuses to accept these refugees that it itself had produced, by its having invaded and bombed to overthrow (among others) Libya’s Government, and then Syria’s Government, and by its aiding Al Qaeda in organizing and leading and arming, jihadists from all over the world to come to Syria to overthrow Syria’s Government and to replace it with one that would be selected by the US regime’s key Middle Eastern ally, the Saud family, who own Saudi Arabia, including its Government, and who are determined to take over Syria. Trump blames Angela Merkel for — in essence — having been an ally of the US regime, a regime of aggression which goes back decades, and which Trump himself now is leading, instead of his ending, and of his restoring democracy to the United States, and, finally, thus, his restoring freedom (from America), and peace, to other nations, in Europe, and elsewhere (such as in Syria, Yemen, etc.). He blames Merkel, not himself and his predecessor — not the people who actually caused these refugees.
Hypocrisy purer than that which Trump there expressed, cannot be imagined, and this hypocrisy comes from Trump now, no longer from Obama, who, in fact, caused the problem.
As the 2016 study, "An Overview of the Middle East Immigrants in the EU: Origin, Status Quo and Challenges” states in its Abstract:
EU has the most inhabited immigrant population; it has up to a population of 56 million foreign-born people. And due to the perennial war and chaos in the Middle East, the amount of relocated population in the region, especially the number of refugees, ranks the No.1 all over the world. … There are a large number of refugees and asylum seekers heading to EU countries; it can be divided into four stages. Since the Arab Spring, especially after the outbreak of the civil war in Syria in 2011, and the rise of the “Islamic State” in 2013, the whole EU area have experienced the biggest wave of refugees since World War II.”
All of these invasions have been, and are, invasions of countries where the US regime demands regime-change.
In order to understand the deeper source of this problem, one must understand, first, the US regime’s continuing obsession to conquer Russia after its communism and Warsaw Pact military alliance, had ended (click onto that link to see the documentation); and, second, one needs to understand the US regime’s consequent and consistent aim after the supposed end of the Cold War, to take over control of Russia’s allied countries, including not only those within the Soviet Union and its military Warsaw Pact, but also within the Middle East, especially Syria and Iran, and even countries such as Libya, where the leader was nominally Sunni but nonetheless friendly toward Russia. (The link there provides documentation not only of what’s said here, but it also documents that the alliance between the two aristocracies, of the US and of Saudi Arabia, is essential to the US aristocracy’s Middle-Eastern objective; and Israel’s aristocracy serves as an essential agent of the Sauds in this crucial regard, because the Sauds rely heavily upon the Israeli regime to do its lobbying in Washington. In other words: America’s consistent objective is to isolate Russia so as for the US regime to emerge ultimately in a position to take over Russia itself. That’s the deeper source of Europe’s refugee-crisis.)
Back at the start of the promised post-Cold-War period, in 1990, the US regime, under its then-President, George Herbert Walker Bush, privately and repeatedly agreed with the USSR regime, under its then-President Mikhail Gorbachev, to end the Cold War — agreed that NATO would not expand “one inch to the east” — that there would be no expansion of the US military alliance against the USSR (soon to become against Russia alone). The US regime’s promise was that NATO would not take in and add to NATO’s membership, any of the countries that then were either in the USS.R’s military alliance the Warsaw Pact (Albania, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Poland, and Romania) or in USSRitself other than Russia (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Byelorussia, Estonia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kirghizia, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldavia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, and Uzbekistan), except for the eastern part of Germany. The US regime simply lied. But the Russian Government followed through on all of its commitments. Russia was now trapped, by Gorbachev’s having trusted liars, whose actual goal turned out to be world-conquest — not peace.
Currently, the membership of NATO includes all of the former Warsaw Pact nations, and now the US regime aims to bring in also to "NATO membership: Bosnia and Herzegovina, Georgia, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia¹ and Ukraine.” Georgia and Ukraine are the first parts of the former USSR republics — not merely parts of the Warsaw Pact but parts now of the USSR itself — to join the anti-Russian military alliance, if either of them gets allowed in. The very possibility of this happening, goes beyond anything that the naive, trusting, Mikhail Gorbachev, would ever have imagined. He hadn’t the slightest idea of how evil was (and still is) America’s Deep State (that which controls America). But now we all know. History is clear and unambiguous on the matter.
The NATO mouthpiece, Brookings Institution, headlined on 15 November 2001, "NATO Enlargement: Moving Forward; Expanding the Alliance and Completing Europe’s Integration” and pretended that this expansion is being done in order to help Europeans, instead of to conquer Russia.
Ukraine has the longest of all European borders with Russia and so has been America’s top target to seize. But before seizing it, the US had tried in 2008 to turn Georgia against Russia, and the Georgian Mikheil Saakashvili was a key US agent in that effort. Saakashvili subsequently became involved in the violent coup that overthrew Ukraine’s Government in February 2014. Saakashvili organized the Georgian contingent of the snipers that were sent to Ukraine to shoot into the crowds on the Maidan Square and kill both police and demonstrators there, in such a way so that the bullets would seem to have come from the police (Berkut) and/or other forces of Ukraine’s democratically elected Government. (Click on this link to see two of the Georgian snipers casually describing their participation in the coup, and referring tangentially to former Georgian President Saakashvili’s role in it. Here is a more comprehensive video compilation describing and showing the coup itself. As I have pointed out, the testimony of these two Georgian snipers is entirely consistent with what the investigation by the EU’s Foreign Ministry had found out on 26 February 2014 about the snipers, that “they were the same snipers, killing people from both sides” and that these snipers were “from the new coalition government” instead of from the government that was being overthrown — that it was a coup, no ‘revolution’ such as Obama’s people claimed, and Trump’s people now assert.) The US regime has agents in all regions of the former Russia-affiliated bloc — not only in Western Europe.
Obama’s coup to grab Ukraine away from its previous neutrality and to make it immediately a neo-Nazi rabidly anti-Russian country, has destroyed Ukraine — not only from the standpoint of the EU, but (and click on the link if you don’t already know this) from the standpoint of the Ukrainian people themselves. Who wouldn’t want to leave there?
Europe has refugees from the Ukrainian operation too, not only (though mainly) from the Middle Eastern ones.
Europe’s enemy isn’t Russia’s aristocracy, but America’s aristocracy. It’s the billionaires who control America’s international corporations — not the billionaires who control Russia’s international corporations — it is specifically America’s billionaires; it is the people who control the US Government; these, and no Russians at all, are the actual decision-makers, who are behind bringing down Europe. In order for Europe to win, Europeans must know whom their real enemies are. The root of the problem is in the US, Europe’s now fake ‘ally’. Today’s America isn’t the America of the Marshall Plan. The US Government has since been taken over by gangsters. And they want to take over the world. Europe’s refugee-crisis is simply one of the consequences.
In fact, Obama had started, by no later than 2011, to plan these regime-change operations, in Libya, Syria, and Ukraine. But, in any case, none of the regime-change operations that caused the current unprecedented flood of refugees into Europe started because of what Europe’s leaders did (other than their cooperating with the US regime). Today’s American Government is Europe’s enemy, no friend at all, to the peoples of Europe. Trump’s blaming this crisis on Europe’s leaders isn’t just a lie; it is a slanderous one.
And this fact is separate from Trump’s similar slanderous lie against the refugees themselves. On May 8th, Germany’s Die Welt newspaper had headlined “Number of crimes falls to lowest level since 1992” and reported that Germany’s Interior Minister, Horst Seehofer, announced the 2017 national crime statistics, and he said, “Germany has become safer,” the safest in the last 30 years. Seehofer happens to be a member of Chancellor Merkel’s Administration who is angling to replace her as Chancellor by appealing to the strong anti-immigrant portion of their own conservative party, but even he had to admit, essentially, that the anti-immigrant slur that Trump subsequently made on June 18th is a bald lie; it’s even the exact opposite of the truth. Trump’s tweeted comment then was a lying slander not only against Merkel and other European leaders, but also against the refugees that the US regime itself had produced. How depraved is that? How depraved is Trump?
The refugee crisis isn’t due to the refugees themselves; and it’s not due to Europe’s leaders; it is due to the almost constantly lying US regime — the people who actually control America’s Government and America’s international corporations.
On June 21st, Manlio Dinucci at Global Research headlined “The Circuit of Death in the ‘Enlarged Mediterranean’” and he opened by saying, “The politico-media projectors, focussed as they are on the migratory flow from South to North across the Mediterranean, are leaving other Mediterranean flows in the dark – those moving from North to South, comprised of military forces and weapons.” But the world’s biggest international seller of weapons is the US, not the EU; so, his placing the main focus on European billionaires was wrong. The main culprits are on Trump’s own side of the Atlantic, and this is what is being ignored, on both sides of the Atlantic. The real problem isn’t across the Mediterranean; it is across the Atlantic. That’s where Europe’s enemy is.
On 7 August 2015, I headlined “The US Is Destroying Europe” and reported that: 
In Libya, Syria, Ukraine, and other countries at the periphery or edges of Europe, US President Barack Obama has been pursuing a policy of destabilization, and even of bombings and other military assistance, that drives millions of refugees out of those peripheral areas and into Europe, thereby adding fuel to the far-rightwing fires of anti-immigrant rejectionism, and of resultant political destabilization, throughout Europe, not only on its peripheries, but even as far away as in northern Europe.”
It’s continuing under Trump.
PS: ik moet nog wel opmerken dat een aantal EU landen, waaronder Nederland, wel medeverantwoordelijk zijn voor de vluchtelingenstromen, daar ze blindelings achter de VS aanliepen en lopen en mee hebben gedaan/meedoen aan de grootschalige terreur die de VS in het Midden-Oosten uitoefende en uitoefent...... Overigens zijn die landen ook mede verantwoordelijk voor de terreur op de straten in de EU, daar dit een direct gevolg is van onder VS leiding uitgeoefende westerse terreur in landen waar het niets, maar dan ook helemaal niets te zoeken had en heeft....

Concentratiekampen in VS voor migranten.......

Het Vierde Rijk timmert onder Trump nog harder aan de fascistische weg dan onder Obama en Bush..... E.e.a. blijkt bijvoorbeeld uit de barbaarse omgang met vluchtelingen, waar men zelfs kinderen van hun ouders afnam en deze samen met jongeren die op eigen gelegenheid dan wel onder begeleiding van een volwassene (veelal familie) opsloot in 'jongerencentra', ofwel gevangenissen die  het best te vergelijken zijn met concentratiekampen (een uitvinding van de Britten)......

Bij concentratiekampen denkt men meteen aan de doodskampen van nazi-Duitsland, echter concentratiekampen werden al veel eerder gebruikt door westerse regeringen en zijn zoals gezegd een Britse uitvinding uit de 19de eeuw....... Door WOII spreekt men liever niet meer over concentratiekampen, maar dat wil niet zeggen dat ze niet meer bestaan, zo bewijst o.a. de VS weer......

Concentratiekampen in de VS zijn niets nieuws, zo sloot men tijdens WOII VS burgers van Japanse en Duitse afkomst op in concentratiekampen, iets waar Trump over zei dat hij zich wat betreft de Japanners wel voor kon stellen iets dergelijks te hebben gedaan, 'oorlogen zijn nu eenmaal hard....' (waar hem, zo te zien in het hieronder opgenomen artikel, niet de VS burgers van Duitse komaf werden voorgelegd als voorbeeld, deze komen in het artikel niet eens ter sprake)

Echter met de vinger naar Trump wijzen doet ons vergeten dat bijvoorbeeld Obama 3 miljoen immigranten deporteerde... (hiervoor kreeg hij de naam: 'deporter in chief') Al onder Clinton werden de eerste aanzetten gedaan tot het beleid zoals we dat de laatste jaren hebben gezien...

Kinderen zullen niet meer worden afgenomen van ouders, zo sprak het beest Trump, maar verder verandert er weinig, de concentratiekampen blijven bestaan voor kinderen van wie de ouders niet in de VS zijn....... Zoals het zich laat aanzien krijgen deze kinderen geen rechtsbijstand en blijven ze opgesloten in wat concentratiekampen zijn...... De families die de VS binnenkomen en die worden gepakt, worden in het geheel opgesloten, inclusief peuters en baby's...... Niet dat ze misdaden hebben begaan, maar omdat ze 'illegaal' het land zijn binnengekomen..... (hoe kan je als mens in godsnaam illegaal zijn op onze kleine aarde???)
In het volgende artikel van Elliot Gabriel wijst deze op de VS invloed in Mexico tijdens de 80er en 90er jaren >> via de Wereldhandelsorganisatie (WTO) heeft de VS in feite de arbeidersbevolking aan de bedelstaf gebracht......... Ook verdragen als NAFTA bracht het arme deel van bevolkingen in Midden- (en Zuid-) Amerika vooral veel financiële ellende, ellende waardoor velen uiteindelijk zelfs hun land ontvluchtten richting VS....

Het meest smerige is wel dat Trump, plus een groot deel van de republikeinen en democraten durven te zeggen dat de migranten VS burgers hun banen afnemen...... Terwijl nu juist de grote bedrijven hun fabrieken verplaatsten naar landen in Azië en Midden-Amerika (m.n. naar Mexico) en zij daarmee de verantwoordelijken zijn voor de grote werkloosheid onder het arme deel van de VS bevolking......

Arme mensen die nu bespeeld worden door fascisten als Trump met leugens die hen moeten opzetten tegen migranten, die godbetert maar al te vaak vluchten voor door de VS aangerichte ellende in hun thuisland (neem de totaal mislukte 'War on Drugs' die in Mexico bijkans een oorlog van de drugsmaffia tegen de bevolking heeft veroorzaakt..... Mensen die dat geweld ontvluchten zijn niet langer welkom, zo liet opperschoft Sessions afgelopen week weten*)

Trump gaat zover met zijn angst en haatzaaierij, dat hij migranten beesten noemt die de VS komen ruïneren...... Hitler en Goebbels zouden trots zijn geweest op zo'n ijverige leerling........

Yes, US Immigration Prisons Are Absolutely ‘Concentration Camps’



June 22, 2018 at 9:45 am
Written by Elliott Gabriel
(MPN— The ongoing furor over a drastic increase in the mass confinement of migrant families and children has forced people in the United States to cast a hard look at the immigration enforcement regime that has aggressively developed in recent years.

The discussion is increasingly recasting immigrant detention centers as U.S. concentration camps. This has brought questions of justice, human and civil rights back into focus — in contrast to the Trump administration’s narrow reliance on the question of law-and-order.

Prisons for detained migrants conform to the basic, literal meaning of a concentration camp: these are security enclosures where masses of people from a targeted community are isolated from the general population and subject to confinement, usually for political purposes. Deprived of liberty, legal protections, or medical care, those incarcerated in such camps see their lives reduced to a basic biological existence.

Sexual abuse, physical punishment, psychological trauma and even the forced injection of children with drugs are the daily reality for those captured at the border by U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers or abducted from their homes and workplaces by the Department of Homeland Security – Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or DHS-ICE.

While the term concentration camp is often dismissed as extreme or exaggerated given its connotation of Nazi Konzentrationslager like Auschwitz or Dachau — which could more accurately be called death camps or forced enslavement camps — concentration camps were widely used by Western governments throughout the early 20th century as a means to cope with insurgent populations in the colonies and waves of migrants fleeing war in Europe.

Now, in the 21st century, the U.S. immigrant enforcement regime has assumed monstrous proportions. The country is being progressively enveloped in a steel-clad mesh of stringent bureaucracy and inhumane facilities devoted to legalized violence toward immigrants — naturally, this has come in the name of security, sovereignty, and enforcing the law.

Euphemisms, Lies, and Mass Confinement
Like the fig-leaf covering Adam and Eve’s genitals in Renaissance paintings, a euphemism is a word or phrase meant to hide the true nature of something considered embarrassing or offensive. Euphemisms are common in our social interactions: We’re sleeping together; I’m visiting the water closet; he passed away; we’re downsizing the staff.

For politicians, euphemisms are the bread and butter of “talking-points” (propaganda) and serve to shield the state from public scrutiny and criticism. Authorities will describe repressive police state measures as necessary to public safety, while the elimination of public services is called balancing the budget. Likewise, militaries will refer to a blatantly imperialist war as a “humanitarian intervention,” while an indiscriminate bombing campaign and capture of enemy-held territory is an act of “liberation.”

In the world of criminal justice, solitary confinement and total isolation from human contact — a form of torture – takes place in the Security Housing Unit (SHU), a phrase that almost sounds like a type of condominium apartment.

Immigration-related U.S. concentration camps come in different varieties, each with its own preferred euphemisms: there are detention centers for adults, childcare facilities for young children ripped from their families; and for those incarcerated migrant adults (usually women) fortunate enough to remain with their children, there are Family Residential Centers – a cheerful term that makes it sound as if families are having a therapeutic retreat at Club Med rather than facing incarceration.

The Northwest Detention Center in Tacoma, Washington, provides a good example of the concentration camps operated by the commercial prison corporation, GEO Group. Immigrant detainees who went on hunger strike last year describe the facility as riddled with filthy, exploitative and abusive conditions. Incarcerated migrants are given cheap, poor-quality food while being forced to wear soiled underwear. Medical care access is restricted and often administered by unqualified prison guards themselves; it’s not uncommon that prisoners die from treatable diseases like staph infection, pneumonia, or diabetes.

Those confined to such camps “temporarily” spend much of their time with no light at the end of the tunnel, as immigration court proceedings face repeated delays without explanation. Forced to languish in horrendous conditions for an indefinite period, prisoners inevitably fall into a state of deep despondency that sometimes leads to suicide. In other cases, prisoners who wage hunger strikes face punitive detention and physical abuse. Prisoners are also expected to take part in manual labor tasks, where they are paid $1 per hour to take care of the upkeep of the facilities, drawing comparisons to enslaved prison labor.

At “childcare facilities,” young children ripped from their families’ arms are kenneled in wire-cage compounds or encamped in overcrowded former Wal-Marts where they are subject to 22-hour lockdown and given only two hours of fresh air — effectively amounting to conditions of punitive incarceration for children as young as seven years old.

Even toddlers under the age of five have been placed in three so-called “tender age shelters” located in Texas, with a fourth compound planned for Houston at a former warehouse slated to be re-purposed into a “permanent unaccompanied alien children program facility. ”During the  Second World War, the government vocabulary was riddled with similarly clean, bureaucratic euphemisms that obscured the persecution of a community seen as a hostile and inherently “alien” minority: Japanese immigrants and Japanese-descended citizens of the U.S.

The Wartime Precedent: Japanese-American Incarceration
On February 19, 1942, long-seething anti-Asian racism and the Imperial Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor culminated in the signing of Executive Order 9066 by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. The order gave xenophobia the seal of approval as official state policy and decreed the “evacuation” or forced removal of 120,000 U.S. residents of Japanese ancestry from their homes. Over two-thirds of those impacted were U.S. citizens, including children.

The mass incarceration of Japanese-descended families was justified on the basis of a fear of sabotage by a yet-to-be-exposed “fifth column,” as well as claims by military authorities that Justice Department investigations were unable to keep pace with wartime national-security needs. However, Depression-era white farmers also saw Japanese Americans as a threat to their economic interests and had clamored for stripping citizenship from the “Japs.”

apanese immigrants and Japanese Americans were detained and placed in assembly centers (temporary detention centers) and relocation centers, which were at the time depicted as akin to “summer camps.” In reality, these were concentration camps in the middle of harsh desert climates, which were surrounded by guard towers and barbed-wire fences, where Japanese-descended prisoners were overseen and routinely abused by U.S. Army personnel equipped with machine guns and even tanks.

By January 2, 1945, the camps were closed; not a single incarcerated Japanese had been successfully prosecuted as a spy or agent of the Japanese government. Yet thousands of
Japanese Americans incarcerated at the notorious Tule Lake Segregation Center in California had already been coerced into renouncing their U.S. citizenship, and were subsequently deported en masse back to a Japan that was shattered by war.

Descendants of incarcerated Japanese citizens and immigrants have struggled hard in recent years to ensure that wartime mass-confinement is described in terms that accurately reflect the unjust nature of their experience. In 2013, the Japanese American Community League responded to criticism over the use of the term “concentration camp,” stating:
Misleading government euphemisms like relocation camp, assembly center, and internment camp should no longer be an insurmountable obstacle to understanding. Ridiculous notions that we were being protected or pampered will diminish.
Honest terms like American concentration camp, incarceration camp, illegal detention center, forced removal, and others, can now truthfully tell a story: How the government used language to cover up the denial of constitutional rights, the racism, forced removal, incarceration, and oppressive conditions directed against 120,000 innocent people of Japanese ancestry.”


By 2015, Republican then-candidate Donald Trump began floating the idea of a database of Muslim Americans to prevent, “until we are able to determine and understand,” the alleged threat of “horrendous attacks by people that believe only in Jihad.”

When asked if he would have supported the wartime incarceration of Japanese Americans, the former reality-TV star answered that it may have been an option he would have favored. He also suggested that the concentration camps may have played a role in the U.S. victory over Japan. Trump explained:
I would have had to be there at the time to tell you, to give you a proper answer … It’s a tough thing. It’s tough..  But you know war is tough. And winning is tough. We don’t win anymore. We don’t win wars anymore. We don’t win wars anymore. We’re not a strong country anymore. We’re just so off.”

90s Roots: White “Nativist” Anxiety and the Neoliberal Offensive
Aside from the deeply racist, white-supremacist roots of the United States as a whole, Trump-style xenophobia and anti-immigrant racism became a major phenomenon in the 1990s, when mass-media outlets and right-wing politicians filled Americans’ heads with lurid tales of the threat posed by brown-skinned foreigners. War and terrorism in the Middle East flooded headlines as the Gulf War in Iraq and resistance to Israel in Palestine and Lebanon raged.

Meanwhile, at the southern U.S. border, tens of thousands of Mexican migrants poured through as a result of the desperate conditions and economic chaos unleashed by the North American Free Trade Agreement of 1994 and previous neoliberal policies foisted on pliant Mexican governments by the World Trade Organization (WTO). NAFTA led to a major influx of investment in Mexico by Canadian and U.S.-based multinationals, yet the net effect was the plundering of the country’s resources and wealth, the devastation of its agricultural sector and rural regions, and a huge uptick in unemployment and poverty in the country.

As scholar Richard D. Vogel wrote in his 2007 meticulously-researched essayTransient Servitude:
U.S. financial and political intervention in the national life of Mexico during the 1980s and 1990s, often carried out through the WTO, has pauperized the Mexican working class. It is they who have had to suffer the brunt of the mandatory austerity programs, strict debt restructuring, and privatization initiatives that were imposed on Mexico in the 1980s after the credit binge of the Mexican bourgeoisie during the previous decade. The result of this foreign intervention has been widespread unemployment and displacement from the land that has produced onerous hardship and sparked internal migration from the interior of Mexico to the industrialized border region and to the United States.”

Unauthorized migration from Mexico became a driving force for nativist resentment and racism among white workers, resulting in a push for anti-immigrant laws like California’s Proposition 187 ballot initiative in 1994. White workers found convenient scapegoats in the Mexican undocumented workforce, despite the fact that it was U.S. capitalism as a whole that had undercut their jobs and living standards through the search for cheap labor in Mexico and other offshore locations.

The U.S. responded to the nativist clamor by militarizing the U.S. border — resulting in the deaths of thousands of border-crossers who died in the harsh frontier climate — and by conducting showy Border Patrol operations and raids such as 1993’s Hold the Line in San Diego and 1995’s Operation Gatekeeper in El Paso, which did little to stem the flow of migrants.

However, the generally lax open border policy provided employers and corporations with access to a huge pool of cheap labor to tap into, handsomely benefiting a then-booming U.S. economy. By 2005, about 12 million undocumented migrants — over half of whom were Mexican — resided in the United States.

The 2006 implementation of the U.S.-Central America Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA, now CAFTA-DR) had a similarly negative impact on development in Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua, whose governments each signed. Rural migrants were displaced and found no employment in cities, fueling the growth of organized crime and acting as a sharp push factor for migration to Mexico and the United States.

Subsequent administrations’ security agreements with right-wing governments and imperialist meddling — such as the Obama-Clinton State Department’s success in overthrowing left-populist Honduran President Manuel Zelaya in June 2009 — further exacerbated the instability and misery plaguing Central America, creating an inexorable current that continues to tens of thousands of desperate migrants to the doorstep of the southern U.S. border in their life-or-death bid for asylum.

Fortress America” and the Bipartisan Construction of DHS-ICE
The double standards inherent in U.S. partisan politics have led some to believe that concentration camps were reintroduced on such a broad scale under Trump, when in fact the mass confinement of asylum-seekers and non-citizens was a daily reality under the administrations of both George W. Bush and Barack Obama, who both oversaw the expansion of the sprawling DHS machinery.

Indeed, ever since the Clinton administration’s 1996 Immigration Act, minor misdemeanor convictions are enough reason for even legal permanent residents to be deported.
This history is often ignored by liberal critics of the Trump regime, owing in no small part to his absolute disregard for the multicultural sensitivities of his predecessors who built the immigration enforcement apparatus. The president has no qualms about resorting to blatantly dehumanizing rhetoric when describing whole categories of asylum-seekers as “animals” that are “infesting” the United States, drawing comparisons between the right-wing U.S. leader’s political ideology and that of Nazi Germany.

Yet Trump is merely picking up the baton that was passed to him, albeit with a relish that appears to be both calculating and visceral.

After September 11, 2001, the U.S. was pushed over the brink by hysteria over the fear of another spectacular terrorist attack. Muslim Americans and immigrant communities from Asia, Africa and the Middle East became the target not only of racist attacks on the streets, but also of anti-terrorism bills like the USA PATRIOT Act. The act significantly widened the ability of immigration agents to conduct mass-detention sweeps of terrorism suspects, while allowing for the mandatory detention of non-citizens suspected of terrorism for up to 48 hours after arrest.

In 2003, the PATRIOT Act was followed by the establishment of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which consisted of three separate bureaus: Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Customs and Border Protection (CBP), and Citizen and Immigration Services (CIS). ICE began to extend its facilities, field offices and subfield offices across the country.

In June, 2003, ICE introduced its 10-year strategic enforcement plan, Operation ENDGAME. The plan called for information sharing across government agencies while also explicitly calling for the forcible removal of the entire unauthorized migrant population of 12 million people from the United States by 2014. In a memorandum describing the program, ICE Office of Detention and Removal Operations (DRO) director Anthony Tangemann stated:
DRO provides the endgame to immigration enforcement and that is the removal of all removable aliens. This is also the essence of our mission statement and the ‘golden measure’ to our successes … We must strive for 100% removal rate.”


Obviously, the plan was never fulfilled, yet the Obama administration stubbornly pushed forward in the fortification of ICE as a highly-funded, fully-staffed and largely unaccountable organization with facilities and contracted privately-operated concentration camps dotting the entire country.

While supporters of Obama will quickly point to his 2013 granting of temporary relief to non-prioritized unauthorized migrant youth, in the form of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), immigration-rights advocates will be just as quick to point to his introduction of Secure Communities: A Comprehensive Plan to Identify and Remove Criminal Aliens (SCOMM).

SCOMM, which was guided by the goals stipulated in Operation Endgame, cleared the way for ICE to deport hundreds of thousands of unauthorized migrants through biometric data-sharing between federal immigration authorities and thousands of local jails — leading to the deportation of people convicted of minor crimes such as driving under the influence or the possession of small amounts of drugs.

SCOMM was eventually phased out by Obama owing to public pressure, only to be revived by the Trump administration. Obama’s campaign promises to reform the U.S. immigration enforcement regime were never fulfilled and instead, around three million were deported on his watch – earning the former president the ignominious title “Deporter-In-Chief.”

The Danger of Ignoring Homeland Security State Cruelty
Amid the exponential growth of the federal government’s need for jails, encampments, and kennels for migrant families, immigration-related concentration camps are increasingly being normalized by an unashamed Republican Party with Trump as its capo and ideological lodestar. Even mainstream news hosts like Laura Ingraham of FOX News have audaciously described incarceration facilities for children as “essentially summer camps.”

And on Wednesday — lost in the fanfare of his apparent family-separation feint — Trump issued an executive order extending the ability of ICE to incarcerate unauthorized migrants from 20 days to an indefinite period.

The United States government has long maintained the largest and most technologically advanced system of mass confinement in human history. Over time, a growing component of this system has consisted of new migrant concentration camp.

It’s about time that we recognize what led the U.S. to this point and where that path may lead. Even the most superficial reading of history reveals how in times of crisis, legal rights taken for granted as permanent or foundational vanish like a puff of smoke when security threats and a push to restore “law and order” casts a dragnet into civilian populations.

In 1973, constitutional scholar Alexander Bickel offered a prescient criticism of the concept of “citizenship as the tie that binds the individual to government and [serves] as the source of his rights,” noting that the right to citizenship can easily be revoked at the will of the state:
A relationship between government and the governed that turns on citizenship can always be dissolved or denied … No matter what safeguards it may be equipped with, it is at best something that was given, and given to some and not to others, and it can be taken away. It has always been easier, it always will be easier, to think of someone as a noncitizen than to decide that he is a nonperson.”


As history teaches us, threats to the nation — both external or internal — can suddenly or gradually change. Today’s flash-in-the-pan monster at our door might be migrant “animals” from Latin America, but tomorrow it may take the form of anyone or any group who threatens or disrupts social order — be it a religious group, a national minority, the swelling homeless population, the politically non-compliant or any other class of people criminalized by a government that exclusively caters to the needs of capital.

Disoriented by sensationalist propaganda presented as objective news or informed commentary, U.S. citizens gripped by anxiety and fear eagerly cheer on the promise of misery for the “alien” as a means to ensure fortune and safety for the “native.” Blinded by the false pride found in white supremacy and the nostalgic idyll peddled by Trump and his cohort, “conservatives” applaud as new walls, “residential centers” and open-air penitentiaries for “illegals” are constructed in their hometowns.

Trapped in a daze of patriotic fervor, supporters of the punitive immigrant policy regime under Trump remain oblivious to the consequences of their faith in state violence guided by policies of official bigotry.

And as for the rest of us, wringing our hands and expressing outrage alone will get us nowhere in terms of preventing systematic cruelty and state terror. Instead, we should continue to develop a serious analysis of the overall situation and organize to defend our basic rights before the windows of opportunity are bolted shut.

CONCENTRATION CAMPS FOR CHILDREN IN THE US

SOME SIMPLE FACTS YOU ARE NOT BEING TOLD



THIS IS A BUSINESS OPERATION

  1. Seeking asylum in the US is not a crime. It’s an administrative process. After the hearings, the US can always no to the application.
  1. There’s absolutely no legal basis to take the children of asylum seekers from their parents.
  1. People who cross the border illegally and are found not to have criminal records used to be returned to the border they crossed. Now they are being jailed for six months – at taxpayer expense – and having their children taken from them.
  1. The revenues for these interments are going to the shareholders of PRIVATELY owned prisons.
  1. Privately owned Prison companies like GEO and CoreCivic donated nearly $500,000 to support Trump’s election campaign and underwrite his inauguration.
  1. The Trump administration has no procedure in place for reuniting children with the parents they have been taken from.
     7. The government will not disclose where the children they have seized are being held. Nor               will they allow Congressman or the news media to enter these facilities.
