In California, they will apologize to ethnic Japanese for the "Roosevelt Gulag"

65

Former Manzanar Mountain Camp Memorial California

The California legislature (USA) plans to publish an official apology for keeping Japanese Americans in special camps during World War II.

According to the most conservative estimates, in 1942 about 120 thousand US citizens with Japanese roots got into the camps created on the territory of the USA (they are called the “Roosevelt Gulag”).



Then this was done on the basis of the order of the President of the United States due to the fact that almost every ethnic Japanese after the well-known events in Pearl Harbor was perceived as a potential spy or agent of Japanese intelligence. Japanese prisoners of war went there.

To support the Japanese, including children and the elderly, 10 camps were created, some of which were in California.

From the materials of the California press:

California authorities apologize for racist stain left in stories state and all USA. The California Assembly remembers how Japanese-Americans were sent to camps in the 1940s. Formal apologies will be made with the approval of State Governor Gavin Newsom. We want such persecution of freedom never to be repeated in our country.

The text, prepared by the California Assembly, criticizes the initiative of the US authorities in 1943, when the Americans of Japanese descent could revoke US citizenship.

One of the largest Japanese camps in the United States is Manzanar, which was located in California.

The United States itself called this initiative "Gavin Newsom political action", which is directed against Donald Trump. Newsom - representative of the Democratic Party. He has repeatedly spoken out against Trump's policy of tightening migration laws.

        not for justification, but simply as a matter of fact such steps are being taken by everyone who starts the war. we didn’t do very well with the Germans. but it was a necessity. my family understood that. I don’t know whether it was possible to act differently, but such decisions are clear. I don’t understand why these apologies.

            when the war begins there is no time to test everyone. it is not a matter of hostility but survival. in this topic, the conditions in which these people were driven are much more important. there are enough horrors. some camps were built right in the desert. towers around the perimeter with machine guns. I have long read the memory of a Japanese who got there as a child.

            Keeping their relatives in concentration camps as hostages gave an effect - the regiment was even awarded the Congressional Gold Medal
            Correspondents called one of the battalions of this regiment "the battalion of the Purple Heart" because of the huge number of wounded.
            The first company of this battalion, rescuing the "correct Americans" from Texas who fell under the distribution, lost 177 of the 185 soldiers on the payroll in beaten and wounded. In one fight.

      And imagine, if the authorities then did not.?
      Then they would most likely be cut out. A population harassed by grief and anger over Pearl Harbor would prey on the Japanese. And the police, also by the way with the same blurred consciousness, defiantly turned away and closed her eyes, as was the case with the blacks.
      So all these repentance and dusting of the head with ashes are superfluous. For the sake of politicians of a new wave. They earn political points so-so.

                According to the norms of military law, it is enough that the Japanese aviation subjected the cities of the US ally, the Republic of China, to carpet bombing. And not a single Charter says that if you are sprinkled with FAB-50 and ZAB-2.5, you cannot pour something more powerful and perfect into the answer. This is war. It does not work here: "you were hit a little - you answered a little." It works here: "if you were hit, you hit back so that the one who did this stupidity no longer dares to even throw a crooked glance in your direction."

      Roosevelt Gulag


      The Yankees shit here too. For them, "Gulag" is a terrible totalitarian word, but in fact it is the Main Directorate of Forced Labor Camps, the Federal Penitentiary Service, according to the modern day, criminals were serving their sentences in these camps.

      And the mattresses had concentration camps, where they threw everyone who got, for racial reasons, in the best traditions of the Third Reich.

      Well, if you have a butthert from the Holodomor - you can recall Asharshylyk.

      The worst famine at that time was in the Volga region, did the Russians themselves genocide? And by the way, there was a famine at that time and in the United States many people died from the Great Depression, and in Eastern Europe, and what the British did in those years in India, it’s better not to recall, according to various estimates, 15-20 million people died of hunger, but equally, this is different from when Dr. Yankee purposefully travels through the camps of the Indians vaccinated against smallpox, and infects immunity Indians, freeing up territories for Amers, by the way he was paid quite well for this ....

        The worst famine in the USSR at that time was in Kazakhstan. Up to half of the population died there.
        The link to the analysis of the story about "famine in the USA" - I have already given here.
        Well, I'm waiting for the proof on the story of the Evil Doctor.
        PS By the way, who "organized" the Great Alaskan smallpox epidemic in Russian America ?? wink

      They would still have to apologize for recognizing the nuclear bomb against Japan and recognize genocide, the killing of civilians with nuclear weapons against Jeroshima and Nagosaki

      The main thing is to remember in time when no one is already alive. And everything is quiet, no indignation, no one sings the stinging song "1942". Everything is possible!

      The main thing is that human processing into corpses in the United States is working to its full potential, torture, occupation patrols that shoot children, robbing oil - they are somehow not impressive. They felt ashamed of World War II, when there was no one to hang on for the crimes of those years. And now - three presidents, three vice-presidents, half a dozen defense ministers, a dozen commanders in chief and thousands of PMC officers and soldiers of the gallows cannot wait. But they are not ashamed. For when a loop requires their neck, they make round eyes - these are the costs of democratization, not crimes against humanity.

        The country's right to "teach life" does not depend on its age. It depends on what the Japanese call "common national potential."
