we still have concentration camps


“If you build it they will come.” This misquoted line is spoken by Ray Kinsella, played by Kevin Costner, in the film Field of Dreams, directed by Phil Alden Robinson (1989). While wandering in a cornfield, Ray Kinsella hears a strange whisper: "If you build it, he will come." ... (original story by W.P. Kinsella). Either version, you gotta’ build it, (in the first place) for good or bad, for right or wrong…and once it is finished HE or THEY will come…either on their own, because they have no other choice, or oftentimes because the power of a government which once worked, for the people, NOW cares less about the people, and HAS decided that life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, can only belong to the Leader/the Chairman/the King/the Emperor…

Trump built Concentration Camps on American soil! We can dance around the intended naming of these Camps, but anyone (and usually the MAGA’s are the exception) who has a slight bit of intelligence and had read history, should ably identify the overcrowded, cement, caged cement block buildings as camps wherein the concentration of people has over-reached its humane limits, and while trying to survive life inside have limits of anything that resemble freedom.

The one positive about Trump and his cohorts of misery and bigotry is how well they can fool the media into moving on to another story and ignore the REAL problem. Now Elijah Cummings and the city of Baltimore are of greater concern to the Media than the continuous and inhumane conditions, WHICH Trump created on purpose, and for no other reason than trying to please his voter base by demonstrating HATE and LOATHING for the perceived other. America has hated its poor and people of color, and oftentimes of certain religious orientation since its inception…nothing correct about that, and IT has honestly never been dealt with, with honest attempts…BUT for Trump, it is a decoy, a default, a way to defer attention from HIS CREATION OF CONCENTRATION CAMPS in this nation. Baltimore and almost every other major urban space in this nation have to continue to be better regarding housing. It, however, does take not only city leaders to address this problem, but the OWNERS of dirty, roach and rat-infested structures, like the KUSHNER COMPANY, and the SLUM LANDLORDS, like JARED KUSHNER. 

For me it is simple…if Trump is uncomfortable for his responsibility in building Concentration Camps, he can as he always does, write one more Executive Order and end the misery…and he can in the situation with Baltimore, pick up the phone, tell his son-in-law to walk a few steps into the Oval Office and remodel and rebuild all of the concentration camps like buildings Jared and his family own.  But as usual, the Media will forget the misery and sheer anti-democracy Concentration Camps built by Trump and just focus on the newest feud between Trump and someone of Color!
