Independence Day, Land of the Free, and all that crap
On July 5, 1861, the U.S. Attorney General endorsed Honest Abe Lincoln’s suspension of habeas corpus. Over the next four years, 18,000 Americans were jailed and held without trial.
Less than a century later, we had FDR signing Executive Order 9066, interning over 100,000 Japanese-Americans without due process…thus, in the name of taking on the architects of German prison camps, he became the architect of American prison camps.
Take-home message: George W. Bush did not invent injustice. He’s just a fan.
This Independence (sic) Day, let’s keep in mind Mumia, Peltier, and some two million others who are behind bars...and all the dis-labled folks locked in nursing homes against their will...and the innumerable animals in laboratories, zoos, etc...in the home of the brave.
