Retired general and former Democratic presidential candidate Wesley Clark on Friday called for World War II-style internment camps to be revived for “disloyal Americans.” In an interview with MSNBC’s Thomas Roberts in the wake of the mass shooting in Chatanooga, Tennessee, Clark said that during World War II, “if someone supported Nazi Germany at the expense of the United States, we didn’t say that was freedom of speech, we put him in a camp, they were prisoners of war.”
He called for a revival of internment camps to help combat Muslim extremism, saying, “If these people are radicalized and they don’t support the United States and they are disloyal to the United States as a matter of principle, fine. It’s their right and it’s our right and obligation to segregate them from the normal community for the duration of the conflict.”
This is a shocking perspective from Clark, who has on occasion been quite frank about the aggressive overseas moves of the Empire.
Bottom Line: Never trust anyone who has spent more than an hour in the Pentagon. They get radicalized toward totalitarianism.

For the " duration of the conflict"? Aren't we told this so called war will last our lifetimes and longer?
ReplyDeleteDr. Wenzel - I spent 2 years in the Pentagon as a contractor, but managed to come out unscathed. But it sure was difficult to undergo a philosophical transition to a libertarian while in the belly of the beast.
ReplyDeleteNot so shocking. Clark said this -
ReplyDelete"In the modern Europe there is no room for homogeneous national states. It was an idea from 1800s, and we are going to carry it (multi-culturalism) through ...and we are going to create multi-ethnic states."
In this case, carry it out through bombing Serbia.
