The $64,000 Question

Prisoners on a ship on their way to Sakhalin Gulag 1903

That was the name of a game show and it was an amazing amount of money back then, probably like winning close to a million dollars now.

This is not the first time in history that people have been forced in to camps it has been done, through out history homelessness has been made a crime...

• Britain’s Workhouses (19th and early 20th Century)
• The United States – Hoovervilles and “Anti-Vagrancy” Laws (1930s)
• Nazi Germany – “Asocials” and Homeless People
• Soviet Forced Labor Camps — The Gulag System
• South Africa – Apartheid-era Forced Removals
• China – “Vocational training centers” or “Reeducation camps”

The United States once again joins this unfortunate and illustrious list of countries denying fundamental human rights to its own citizens.

But my questions are who has the contracts to house the homeless? Are they Trump's campaign donors? Is forced labor included in the contracts? So many questions that are hidden from public review!

Given the lack of transparency and the potential for conflicts of interest a lot of red flags are being raised! The Washington Post wrote...

Justice Dept. examines homeless encampments, options for the mentally ill

Officials who oversee grants were asked for ideas on clearing homeless encampments and increasing involuntary hospitalization of the mentally ill.

Justice Department officials who oversee grant distributions are brainstorming ways to clear homeless encampments and increase the involuntary hospitalization of people with mental illnesses across the nation, the latest sign that the Trump administration is moving forward on its pledges to more aggressively clear homeless people from public spaces, according to an email obtained by The Washington Post.

At the same time that they want to round up the homeless and ship them off... 

The emails landed in inboxes at a time of upheaval for the Justice Department’s multibillion-dollar grants programs. The department on Tuesday canceled more than $800 million in grants midway through their funding cycle, reneging on funding promises made during the Biden administration, according to emails reviewed by The Post and multiple people familiar with the grants. The money had been committed to local governments and nonprofit agencies for gun-violence-prevention programs, crime victim advocacy, opioid addiction treatments and more.

I don't know about you but it sure doesn't seem like they want to help the homeless but rather to get them off the streets so Trump doesn't have to see them when he is taken to play golf at his golf courses.

“What can DOJ do to increase the availability and use of involuntary commitment for individuals with serious mental illness who, otherwise, cannot or will not receive care?,” a question in the email read. “Alternatively what can the Federal government do to shift state and local governments’ policies and behavior on this issue?”

You know that there are historical terms for what Trumps wants to do... interment camps, concentration camps, and Gulags. They all mean the same thing... forced imprisonment without trials!

I once trained at Fort Monmouth to become a certified mil-spec soldering instructor. One of my classmates worked at a federal prison, and he joked, ‘No one ever leaves once the inmates are trained.’ That stuck with me. It wasn’t just gallows humor but rather it was a quiet admission that the system wasn’t built for rehabilitation. It was built to maintain a captive, skilled labor force.

Is this where all of this is leading... forced labor camps? Why haven't the contract information come out? Who will be running these camps? Why is all of this secret? A lot of unanswered questions! That I think that I will not like the answer to.
