Immigrants & Muslims Are Trump's Jews ... Until He Comes for the Actual Jews
19 June 18
ake no mistake: Donald Trump and Jeff Sessions’ assault on immigrant families and their “tactic” of separating parents from their children are right out of the Nazi playbook.
It’s no accident US immigrations officials are telling parents they’re taking kids to “bathe,” then making them disappear … and then telling their parents they will never see them again.
This ghoulish reminder of Auschwitz shames us all. It should also terrify us. And make us ACT!
However removed we may think we are, WE are next, and so are our children.
This regime loves torture and dictatorship, and aspires to both.
Thugs like these have nothing of value to offer, so they rule with hate, fear, and scapegoating.
Many of these families are coming to our borders legally seeking asylum. Some families under assault are not even immigrants, they are merely of Hispanic origin or appearance.
There’s no immigrant “crisis” in the United States any more than there was a “Jewish Question” in Hitler’s Germany.
Hitler needed an object of hate to become absolute ruler. Jews comprised 1% of the German population. They were handy.
Hitler spared a Jewish family doctor and a Nobel prize-winning cancer researcher (Otto Warburg) just as Trump might spare Jared Kushner and Michael Cohen.
But however much hate and terror this regime needs to generate, Trump will do it.
Like Adolph, Donald can’t rule without making America hate again. Immigrants and Muslims are where he started. Hispanics, blacks, Iranians, Asians, “globalists,” not to mention gays, Jehovah’s Witnesses, people with disabilities … it’s all the same.
Their – OUR – time will come.
The regime’s real need is to hide its complete inability to govern. And to divide and distract the population.
Blaming these families for “breaking the law” is like blaming Poland’s cavalry for provoking Hitler’s invasion. Blaming the Democrats while banning them from inspecting the camps is like charging the Red Cross with running the gas chambers.
Our prison system is a corporate profit center. With more than two million prisoners, it’s the largest in history after Hitler’s concentration/death camps and Stalin’s gulag.
It’s been filled largely by the Drug War.
But more than half our states have now legalized cannabis for medical and/or recreational use. America’s for-profit prisons – like Trump hotels – could lose “customers.”
Since Nixon launched the Drug War in 1971, more than 41,000,000 Americans have been imprisoned on nonviolent drug-related charges. Most arrests have been for pot, and most have been of blacks and Hispanics.
The Drug War means to generate prison profits and guarantee that people of color can’t vote.
Trump’s assault on these families means to scare their community from the polls.
And to send us ALL a message: the GOP will do to human children what the Nazis did.
The Nazis claimed it was to “purify the race.” Sessions says it’s a “Biblical” obligation.
No matter the pretext: if they can rip children from parents – ANY children from ANY parents – tase them, cage them, traumatize them for life, treat them like sub-humans … they will absolutely do it to you and YOUR children … or worse.
And they want you to know this.
Be afraid. Be very afraid … and then ACT!!!

A note of caution regarding our comment sections:
For months a stream of media reports have warned of coordinated propaganda efforts targeting political websites based in the U.S., particularly in the run-up to the 2016 presidential election.
We too were alarmed at the patterns we were, and still are, seeing. It is clear that the provocateurs are far more savvy, disciplined, and purposeful than anything we have ever experienced before.
It is also clear that we still have elements of the same activity in our article discussion forums at this time.
We have hosted and encouraged reader expression since the turn of the century. The comments of our readers are the most vibrant, best-used interactive feature at Reader Supported News. Accordingly, we are strongly resistant to interrupting those services.
It is, however, important to note that in all likelihood hardened operatives are attempting to shape the dialog our community seeks to engage in.
Adapt and overcome.

As ye sow, so shall ye reap.
Even troglodytes like Resident Rump and
Jeff "Creepy Cracker" Sessions should be able to understand the meaning and import of the above.
These children and their families are our neighbors too, within the meaning of the Great Comnandment: we are all created by God in his image and thus worthy of his love, and therefore we are required to love and care for them, not abuse them,
the c.32% of our population unwilling or unable to think,
and who suckle at the tits of Faux Noise, must end
NOW!!!
As a Jew and a conservative I am appalled at your garbage written here. Trump has examined the problem and found a solution to the rampant illegal migration north created by the Obama administration lax enforcement of laws. There are way too many American families that have had their loved ones killed by illegals that have migrated here with no concern for our way of life in America. Comparing Trump to anything like the Nazi movement is so far off base, but then again you are entitled to express your opinion in this country. By the way may son and daughter are serving in the military to allow you to write your tripe.
You forgot to add “deplorable” “racist “ and “faux news devotee”
“By the way may son and daughter are serving in the military to allow you to write your tripe”
No. They are serving in the military to protect corporate interests abroad, and terrorize the world into compliance with the dictates of those corporate interests. If they wanted to protect our freedom, they would be marching in the streets and engaged in civil disobedience.
Can't stress it enough.
"Rampant illegal migration north"? Are you aware, Robert, that even before your hero was installed in the White House more Mexicans were crossing the border southward than were coming north?
That doesn't mean there was no problem. There was--but it went back decades, under administrations of both parties, and persisted because unscrupulous agricultural and industrial employers wanted it to. Illegal immigrants have largely taken jobs native-born Americans don't want, at wages which (even when paid, and they often aren't) the native-born wouldn't stand for, under miserable conditions.
Oh, and about all those families who've seen their loved ones killed by illegal immigrants--how many are "too many"? Vague but inflammatory claims like this are irresponsible demagoguery. Small wonder you're a fan of Donald Trump.
it was 6 death camps in Poland.
we have the beginnings of a re-run here. if you are a Jew and a "conservative" you should know exactly where this is leading.
My point is that we need to be able to calmly communicate to the people who are content or uninterested in Trump's Presidency in a way that they are willing to hear.
And Trump has been successful in tilting the table in his favor so that wild-sounding accusations, even if factually true have the effect of reinforcing Trump in public opinion.
It is pretty terrible that things have deteriorated this far, this fast, in this country.
But any solution has to lie in convincing people who currently support Trump, that something is genuinely wrong. Every day that gets more difficult.
Waiting for Trump to make a big mistake is to procrastinate in wishful thinking. The same with counting on Mueller to bring him down. As things stand, neither is likely to happen.
This is another lesson to learn from looking at Hitler's Germany, and how it got to be what it was.
Thank you for this piece!! As we become even more aware of the trends in thinking and actions taken by this FAKE, facist President in the White House and all those corrupt who surround him - let us read the words and become aware more and more of all those trends!
Besides the horrors of immigration reform and using these children to send a message, I also consider the fury to get rid of health coverage for anyone with a pre-existing condition yet another aspect of TREND! This is yet another form of EXTERMINATION! Many of those people will die!
Most all of the people they are intent on negatively affecting are the same people who were exterminated by the Nazi's!
It has done it to actual American citizens.
Read this carefully and prevent it happening again.

The US goes through phases of immigrant deportations. It has always practiced family separations in order to destroy certain populationis. Nothing is new here. We are just in one of those evil phases. It actually began under Bush II.
I just worry that democrats -- the opposition party -- is not really against these policies but are only making political hay out of Trump bashing. The media is using this tragic story as a way to distract people from the IG report and revelation of serious corruption inside the FBI and DOJ.
We are not trying to prevent this from happening it again. We are using this issue for other goals.
I was also struck by history unknown to me when I read about the scandals affecting corrupt Federal officials in the 1920's. Whistleblowers were demonized if they exposed members of the President's cabinet for selling off goods purchased for veterans and personally pocketing the proceeds. The taboo against criticizing the rich and powerful for theft and corruption is part of the U.S.' admiration of financial success by any means.
As a nation we have chronic weaknesses. Perhaps they are just human weaknesses, but they are uniquely tolerated in U.S. politics.
And it is true that Trump is in the pocket of Zionists -- Netanyahoo, Singer, Adelson, and many more. Technically these people are Jews, but their Zionism is close to imperialism and the Jewish part does not matter.
"Like Adolph, Donald can’t rule without making America hate again." But this has been true of all republicans since Reagan, who also fulminated against immigrants. There have always been periods of hatred for immigrants in US history. From the 1880s to the 1940, the Chinese Exclusion Act was formal federal policy against Chinese immigrants. African Americans are treated like immigrant non-citizens.
We have a real problem and need to resolve it. Going hysterical with comparisons to Hitler do not help. There's only one solution to a Hitler -- blow up the whole country to get rid of Hitler. That's not going to happen.
The law simply needs to be changed. Being in the US without a proper visa or immigration papers is a non-violent misdemeanor. Why are such people being arrested and sent to detention centers at all? They should be given a court summons and let go. "Catch and Release" should be the law, as it is for all non-violent misdemeanors.
trump is all hate all the time.
but until the democratic party can be made into a viable alternative with actual vision and policies (rather than attacks on us "deplorables") this fascist thug will not be moved.
