ICE Raid Reminds Me Strongly of Marta and the Nazis


When I was a little girl I read, and read, and read.

The stories that moved me most were about children in difficult circumstances because these stories helped me make sense of the confusing world I lived in.

One of my favorite stories was Marta and the Nazis, a story about a girl whose father was seized in Austria by the Nazis. She was left alone and had to escape to Switzerland without being identified and captured.

When I watched the news video today of the little girl whose father was taken by ICE from his job in a factory I was reminded strongly of Marta:

https://www.yahoo.com/huffpost/ice-raids-abandoned-children-mississippi-030808346.html

The people working in these factories in states such as Mississippi are taking jobs that few people want because the work conditions are so bad and the pay so meager.

How can arresting vulnerable people working in jobs few people are willing to take do anything to enhance political or economic security.

The factory conditions won't change.  New batches of desperate workers will be secured to keep the machine humming.

What changes is that we now live in a country where armed security forces make raids that arrest everyone present without adequate documentation and then disappear them into a mostly outsourced PRISON INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX that denies people even their most basic rights to adequate conditions for life.

We are now living in a strange echo of the third reich: Welcome to the fourth reich.

  1. Leaving children to survive without guardians food, shelter. Hard to imagine. It is degenerate in any context. Where will the children end up? Church resouces overextended. Possibly to wonder the streets or end up in a tent townor something worse. There are tent towns in smaller municipalities of 30 or 50 thousand on the east coast, in the south, midwest, west coust now. Pray to the gods the aomething worse like sex slavery would not happen.. There are tent towns in smaller towns of 30 thousand people now. Mississipi is the worst shithole state, i have wver been in. I have been in the South. No protection of workers in factories jn Texas, Alabama, Mississippi Louisiana.
    Dispossessed anglos, blacks, latinos, lose hands, finfers, eyes, arms perioically working contract factory jobs there. Nobody will talk about it.

    1. This shows the complete horseshit about TRUMP not being involved in FBI and police state clamp downs in America Now. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/revealed-fbi-and-police-monitoring-oregon-anti-pipeline-activists/ar-AAFvRiX

      Revealed: FBI and police monitoring Oregon anti-pipeline activists
      Jason Wilson and Will Parrish 1 day ago
      Law enforcement groups, including the FBI, have been monitoring opponents of a natural gas infrastructure project in Oregon and circulated intelligence to an email list that included a Republican-aligned anti-environmental PR operative, emails obtained by the Guardian show.

      The guttertalk, disconnected conspiracy-propaganda aimed at anyone who opposea this insanity. The despicable lies about the Trump axis saving america from the FBI and deepstate is a symptom of political psychopathy, that is boderline psychotic and our Corporate Duopoly could care less .


      The weird fourth reich cult talk and double speak lies about qanon being here to save america from the deep state. Wakeup america. Thw deep state has assumed complete control through trump and is imposing a never-ending reign of terror

      The FBI was infiltratiing Veteran Peace groups, during George W Bushs reign of terror in iraq in 2004 That was where they murdered a million people in an illegal war. He nuked fallujah with Blackwater and Depleted Uranium. The trump axis is instituting a reign of terror domestically.


      The weird fourth reich cult talk and double speak lies, about qanon being here to save america from the deep state. Wakeup america. The deep state has assumed complete control through trump. It is imposing a never-ending reign of terror.

      The FBI has always gone after antinuclear activists. They still do. I know that from personal experience. They even harrass rednecks, that do not want megatons of hilevel waste, parked by them in west texas.
      There were people who suppoaedly stuck by thw apeople at Standing Rock on enwnews before it disintegrated into a mess,dominated by Koch Fascists.

      This country will have a major nuclear accident within the next two years because of Trumps regulations of the nuclear industry, subisidiaztion of reactors that have to be shuts now, and illegal nuclear waste policies. The was a major nuclear incident at INL where 90,000 arcre of the most radioactive hell-land burned in late July.

      America is a Jack-Boot Fascist state right now
      There is ICE, the FBI, DHS, CPB running amock right now.

      Right wing vigilantes and gunmen Rampage america. 13,000 toddlers and children held in cages. Bolsonaro the CIA puppet is enrichiching uranium in brazil and destroying the amazon rain forest, creating more refugees. Some of them will head north.




      The police and the FBI are aligned with right wing groups in america now. The FBI pays lip service to 8chan inspired massacres and goes after people taht want to stop the massaxres. The environmental and nuclear madness.

      Thw fourth reich is starting a new nuclear arms race for no good reason other than corporate profits and it will contribute significantly to the radioactive poisoning od america and what is left of the oceans to death!

    Trump Calls El Paso Gunman A ‘Coward’ For Giving Up Too Easily To Police: ‘He Just Gave Up, Just Gave Up’

    During his visit to El Paso, Texas, four days after a horrifying mass shooting there killed 22 people and injured dozens more, President Trump appeared to criticize the accused killer for giving up too easily.

    Trump told law enforcement personnel in El Paso on Wednesday that the alleged shooter was “a coward,” as quoted by BuzzFeed News reporter Claudia Koerner.

    A Missile Explosion, a Radiation Spike, and Kremlin Secrecy Bring Back Memories of Chernobyl
    A mysterious explosion in an are where nuclear missiles are tested, then a spike in radioactivity and an official cover-up. To many Russians it all

    The nuclear cabal has always been a cult of secrecy & deception--from the effects of open air testing on the downwinders in NV & Utah to French testing in Polynesia to the size & potency of Israel's nuke arsenal. None of these countries should be believed about anything

  5. Why the continuous neglect of Communism? Has no one read the Gulag Archipelago or any of other numerous books?

  6. A Century of Horrors: Communism, Nazism, and the Uniqueness of the Shoah

    "The twentieth century bears the indelible imprint of both communism and Nazism. Today, it sometimes seems as if the former is all but forgotten, at least among Western elites, while our cultural memory of the latter is an inextinguishable fire. This inequality is surprising and calls out for explanation, a task the French political thinker Alain Besançon attempts here in a wise and elegant meditation."

    In examining the horror and destruction caused by both of these terrible ideologies, Besançon finds that recourse to theology is necessary if we are to achieve even feeble illumination. He also explains why, even with the full knowledge of the extent of communism’s crimes, the uniqueness of the Shoah ought to be accepted without reservation.
