Barbarians At The Gate

It is really hard to believe what is going on in this crazy country. Suddenly people care about
THE CHILDREN.
We have a history of separating children from parents since slavery, we did it to Native Americans, it's nothing new.
We drone them in the Middle East and starve them in Yemen. The US only care's about children until they are born, so

they can deny women access to birth control and abortion.
The legislation just signed means that the children won't be separated from the parents until their case is processed.
They will then be charged with the crime of illegal entry and be separated.
It's not going to stop.
As long as TPTB can continue fooling people, like they just did with this nothing legislation, these issues will just go into the memory hole.
Notice who get's separated in this country
I once knew someone who bragged that he snuck into this country from the Canadian border, He told me the only reason he married his wife was for a green card. He got it too.
He was white.
Canada, just legalised marijuana for recreational use, I doubt it will ever happen here, they have single payer healthcare too, but I digress.
The reason we won't have legal weed here, is so we can continue to bust people and put them in prison, separating children from parents, it's a moneymaker for the prison systems, especially private ones which I have blogged about.
I wrote about the very thing we are seeing now when it comes to the immigration issue everyone is upset about back in 2013.

The for profit prison industrial complex can't be allowed to end it's reign of terror, as long as the profiteers need inmates. Republicans got the bulk of the money lobbyists bribed them with. As long as they are paying, they will be ordering the republican grifters to keep thinking up new ideas, to expand their profits.
Just looking at Trump molesting that flag says it allPeople love him, they have no ability to think critically, they watch Youtube, they don't read. They work crap jobs for low wages and have no idea what these immigrants are running from and why with our empire of interfering in Central American countries.
Most Americans have no idea of the context of why these people are fleeing countries our government has destroyed.
In a few days, we'll have moved on to the next manufactured crisis.
This was entirely predictable, it will continue, while this country continues to devolve into the kind of chaos that happens when everything degrades into a tribal nervous breakdown. Waiting for their savior, Trump, to lead them out of the darkness. What he's going to do is take them down with him, while they cheer him on. It's sickening, but predictable. It's at the point now where the barbarians are inside the gate. They are us.

  1. They're not at the gate. They're already inside, and doing insidious damage that will be with us for years, starting at the Supreme Court.

  2. Hey Patricia! Sadly, as NY Crank brings up above, that is a really serious issue that we have now, as far as SCOTUS pick, and the only folks we got to challenge that, is the establishment democrats ... the right is on a roll, and they want a fast pick!

    So much of what you say is the reality we are up against, even YouTubers can see it though, just look at the comments from people, people are getting hip fast! (thanx to the internet) Yeah, it's a f'n mess, I couldnt believe all the crocodile tears over the immigrant kids, out of these political flunkies in both parties at that. The way I see it is ... both these parties were involved with molding the immigrant issues and policies over the years, in so many wayz ... they all know it ... then, when some more extreme president gets in office, he takes what already was to the next level. They should have fixed this shit years ago. Some of the conflict in those countries south of the border, are indirectly ties to the U.S. even, especially in trafficking in drugs ... too long story, but I know a little about that business and how it worx. No one gives a shit about the kids or the immigration, and you're spot on ... stripping families apart, been going on since the start of this country, not just the slaves from Africa, but even the damn native americans.

    The pot legalization issue? ... just a matter of time, but also realize with legalization, especially in a neoliberal society like the U.S., we will have to be careful on letting the corporations/ banks take that over too ... and other wayz, they will fine people, or random smoking/ THC testing on roads, penalties, etc ... too long a list.

    On another note Patricia, as nutty as this may sound to you ... I actually feel that change in a positive direction is on the horizon ... folks are learning just how wrong and corrupt things are, and especially the younger generation in massive debt, from loans student loans to every other kind of debt, folks are sick of it, they are organizing and hungry for change. It's just a matter of time. But, yes, despite all the rising stocks news and new generated wealth ... there is a very negative side brewing in this country, from mistakes made. For one, our overbloated military budget is insane, and two, this tax break Trump gave out and GOP is enough to cause some serious debt increases ... like, in the trillions (at least a few trillion). Anwayz ... I'm outta here, hope you have a decent holiday!
