I was born into an America who's character was reflected by the words on the Statue of Liberty, which are ““Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.” All Americans of my generation were proud of that!
The Orange King has turned America into a hell hole that is intent on punishing the tired, the poor, and the huddled masses. It has become the cruelest of countries, governed by psychotically cruel people. The majority of Americans did not vote for this, and many are protesting vehemently, to no avail. Some pretend that this administration will give up power based on an election which is completely delusional. Unbelievably a large minority of Americans support this as if the victims are criminals.
Just in the past week, one can watch video images of masked ICE officers, sometimes in plain clothes, kidnapping people off of the street. These people go straight to prison, euphemistically called detention. What has been reported is only a small sample of the abuse being administered to these unfortunate people. No one can guarantee that America citizens are being released after a few days or weeks of being abused.
Although the algorithm is against you, one can watch the horrors of ICE arrests all day every day. Here is a very small sample of the headlines or testimonies posted at Tic Tok.
Border Patrol agents arrest undocumented immigrant and two US citizens
Federal agents crash into car of US Citizen on her way to work, forcibly detain her.
ICE agents make arrests on street preparing Halloween parade
ICE violently detains US Citizen standing up for his employees and also tackles his mother
Horrible image of woman being taken while her two children hold onto her. (Clays time)
ICE Raids Chicago school as children scream in terror
“They took my kids out at gunpoint. Mom says ICE agents have no sympathy
Pregnant woman loses child in ICE custody despite begging for care
Gestapo at Graduation
Woman screams for help while being arrested in Utah airport
Ice agents dragged US Citizen out of her car, then get mad because she wasn't illegal immigrant.
Headline: No One Is Safe From America’s Abusive Immigration Authorities Anymore: Even legal residents and tourists are being terrorized by Trump-emboldened officers at ICE and CBP.
Paul O'Brien, executive director of Amnesty International, writes that “The American government is abusing immigrants and American citizens that are being disappeared as if they are immigrants, since they are being kidnapped without recourse. Without a trial. Simply sent to inhumane detention centers. How can we allow this to happen?”
O'Brien recently visited an ICE detention center (Krome Detention Center,)— one of the most overcrowded ICE facilities in the U.S. — and documented the truly appalling conditions our immigrant friends and neighbors are facing… who should not be detained in the first place.
People are being tortured: chained to the ground and caged out in the hot sun at Alligator Alcatraz, and prolonged solitary confinement at Krome
At Alligator Alcatraz, there is little access to clean water and hygiene, and flooding and hot temperatures are breeding grounds for bugs, with people being attacked constantly by mosquitoes.
At Krome, we saw disturbing treatment of a man who was placed in solitary confinement because he was on hunger strike, and we heard consistent reports of denial of medical care at Alligator Alcatraz.
USA Today headline: Immigrant women describe 'hell on earth' in ICE detention. USA reports that Immigrant women say they were held "like animals" in ICE detention and subjected to conditions so extreme they feared for their lives.
Chained for hours on a prison bus without access to food, water or a toilet. Told by guards to urinate on the floor. Held "like sardines in a jar," as many as 27 women in a small holding cell. The long article covers specific abuses which are horrible to contemplate.
Modern technology is about to make this situation worse, as Peter Thiel and the other tech Oligarchs will use facial recognition to identify their enemies. Orwell's 1984 is here. Soon a simple facial scan will allow the officer in front of you to view a summary of your email and social media activity. There will be nowhere to hide. Orwell's vision was a country always at war, the people (Proletariat) were told who the current enemy was, and expected to support without question. But you know the story...
It is reported that “404 Media previously revealed ICE has a new app called Mobile Fortify, which scans someone’s face and is built on a database of 200 million images. The app queries an unprecedented number of government databases to return the subject’s name, date of birth, alien number, and whether they’ve been given an order of deportation.”
Venezuela
In addition to the crimes of America's gestapo, America's lawless government is murdering Venezuelan citizens (mostly fisherman) in international waters. The King is claiming they are transporting drugs into America, even though the boats would have to refuel 5-8 times to reach Miami. The first boat destroyed had 11 people on board, so this obviously was not a drug boat. Eleven people, murdered in the blink of an eye, with no evidence at all presented against them, and no proof given to the American people. The Navy commander responsible for operations in this area resigned rather than be part of the war crimes being committed.
The purpose of the attacks on Venezuela is to gain control of their vast oil reserves. This is a well known fact, repeated by the likes of Jeffrey Sachs, Phil Girarldi, Larry C. Johnson, Ray McGovern, Andrew P. Napolitano, Pepe Escobar, Norman Soloman, Scott Horton and many others.
America wants the oil so badly that they planned a false flag attack that was thwarted by Venezuela.
In another fun AP headline, “US agent secretly plots to turn Maduro's pilot to capture Venezuelan president” This story states overtly that a CIA agent offered to make the pilot of Maduro's plane very very rich if he would just divert a flight to Cuba with Maduro on board. The effort continued for 16 months. Once upon a time, CIA activities like this were only revealed decades later.
American History
American's should not forget their complicity in the genocide being inflicted on the Palestinians in Gaza. Nor should we forget that this is simply a continuation of the death and destruction inflicted upon the Native American population and African slaves in our recent history. Recently, another black man (Trey Reed )was hanged in Mississippi. It is estimated that 3.8 million people were killed by the American war machine in Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia. Between 200,000 and 1 million people were killed in the invasion of Iraq. Millions more were killed in Libya, Afghanistan, Yemen, Chili, Indonesia, El Salvador etc.
We must recognize the similarities between ICE procedures and those used by the NAZI Gestapo prior and during WWII. Despite the feeling of helplessness, we must stop these abuses.
