America proclaims that this is the land of the free, but example of example, proves without a doubt, that this has never been true, isn't true today, and probably never will be true, in this nation, which believes it was blessed by God. While freedom has its limits as well as its responsibilities, great Presidents, are able to steer this magnificent ship, America, in times of trouble and war, through the shoals of destruction, such as the incomparable Abraham Lincoln, while others, weak-minded Presidents, are but pawns in the military-industrial complex seasoned hands.
Franklin D. Roosevelt, considered by many to be one of our nation's finest Presidents, authorized Executive Order 9066, which permitted the Secretary of War in 1942 to prescribe military areas in America as enacted on February, 1942, to which this order was further enforced by Public Law 503, "making it a federal crime for a civilian to disobey a military relocation order." The effect of this Executive Order and Public law was to forcefully remove Japanese-Americans from their homes and businesses to internment camps, as well as interning some Germans and Italians.
Somewhat surprisingly, in this time of World War II, this Executive Order was challenged in the Supreme Court, in Korematsu v. United States, which was decided in 1944, in the favor of the government, which ruled that the Executive Order was indeed, Constitutional. This, in essence, meant that the government ruled that its right to be secure and protected from sabotage and espionage during wartime, meant that the government could in particular intern persons of Japanese descent, but even more chilling that the government could intern "… any or all persons…" such as Germans or Italians, or well, anybody.
The Executive Order and its execution, in effect, was specifically enforced against Japanese-Americans, mainly because there were so few of them, in which, they were located almost exclusively on the West Coast, they were also conveniently racially different, and hence easy targets to round-up with a minimal amount of protest and in many cases, implicit approval by the public. On the other hand, those of German and Italian ancestry, were effectively left alone, except for a selected portion of visitors from those countries, or recent immigrants from such, as massive internment of these peoples could have easily lead not only to "blowback" but would surely have overtaxed the capacity of our detention facilities.
The past is a prelude to the future, in which, the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of this government, found that the Constitution allowed under certain conditions that citizens of the United States, could be rounded up simply because the military determined that from their vantage point it was necessary for the defense and safety of our nation, and thereby detained certain peoples in internment camps, until such time as the government decided or declared them free of such restrictions. There is absolutely no reason not to believe, that the United States will, almost for a certainty, do the very same thing, of which, it is clear, that those of Islamic faith, and/or of Middle Eastern heritage, have already been identified and sorted into an actionable database; with specific instructions, logistics, and detention camp facilities, waiting only for this action to be implemented, at the appropriate time.
