During World War II, the government forcibly interned 110,000 Japanese Americans in what President Franklin Roosevelt called "concentration camps" (Manchester 1974, 300). The internment uprooted adults and children, aliens and citizens from their lifelong homes and placed them behind barbed wire. The government charged not one Japanese American with espionage, treason, or any crime that threatened security. There is not a shred of evidence that the unprecedented invasion of rights accomplished anything useful. Nonetheless, the Supreme Court in Korematsu v. U.S. (1944) expressed the need to defer to the executive branch of government in wartime and upheld the removal of Japanese Americans from the West Coast.

Anyone who saw the last post about proof ISIS was a fluke , will know what this one's about - how the "threat" of terrorism has affected America in general. How "the only thing we have to fear is fear itself" have been completely destroyed by the hypocrisy of our own government, how our generation are literal walking zombies being monitored daily and our freedoms dwindle every single day.More and more Americans are beginning to accept censorship. they are willingly giving up the Constitution for their own safety. Instead of living happy, healthy lives we're lied to daily and the main source of lies is the imaginary war the United States is "fighting"Ever since 9/11, people in America have been scared of terrorists. They've allowed the government to slowly add all of these laws that allow the government to spy on them, violate them without punishment, and lie to them. Imagine us (the citizens) as a group of sheep on a farm. All our lives we're raised comfortably without any security or ability to truly be free. Then we're killed off with the rest of the herd, thrown away and forgotten. Doing nothing more in our lives than what the government tells us. Constantly, believing and defending the evil our government does. One day, people will literally be cheering for a police state, and discourage those who dare believe anything else and stand up to their owners. Project Muse shows us one of the past examples of Americans having their rights taken away for "safety" and an act of Terror.Hitler had concentration camps, think about it. We've literally allowed our government to follow the same and abuse their power just like Hitler. For what reason - fear. These governments feed on the fear of the citizens, because it makes their actions more defendable, they use the fear of the citizens to violate Human rights and "scare the sheep" into the slaughter.Our government are the real terrorists.
