81 years ago: The Land of the Free™ built internment camps
On February 19, 1942, Franklin Delano Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066 giving the army the unrestricted power to arrest — without warrants, indictments, or hearings — every Japanese-American on a 150-mile strip along the West Coast (roughly 110,000 men, women, and children).
They were transported to internment camps in Colorado, Utah, Arkansas, and other interior states to be kept under prison conditions for years.
Here’s something I wrote about this criminality last year:
Unfortunately, this is the first I’ve heard of this. Now I’m convinced I’ve missed most of history. Makes me sad. Motivated to learn more now. Thank you for sharing.
Remember Earl Warren? He was the one who signed off on this, and why? Because AGRIBUSINESS wanted the farmland owned by Japanese-American farmers, some of the best farmland in California. Look under the rock and you will always find greed, just like what happened in Salem in 1692.
