Trump told Bukele he needs to build five more prisons to hold the "home grown" offenders.

Let's be clear: Trump is asking El Salvador to build concentration camp for his political prisoners.

@lisagetspolitik Americans will never figure it out. Give me a break, they elected Trump twice! I rest.
@TENET_CDN
Even so, we must bear witness and document the atrocities, for the day will come when future generations will want to know the story of how America's Hitler rose to power and destroyed this country.

@lisagetspolitik

Or "saved", depending on how things go

@TENET_CDN

@TENET_CDN they were manipulated by Facebook AI into not voting or voting for Trump based on false information.
@lisagetspolitik @edgeofeurope Trump is lucky that he’s legally incapable of committing crimes. Although the ICC in The Hague may disagree with that US Supreme Court assessment.

@lisagetspolitik Yes.

We are not surprised.

You voted for authoritarianism and got it.

Attached: 1 video This is absolutely terrifying. Before press came in — but while live feed was running on #Bukele’s feed — #Trump said to him: “home-grown criminals are next. … You’re gonna need to build about 5 more places.” #law #immigration #ExtraordinaryRendition #StateSponsoredAbduction #Constitution #CivilRights #HumanRights #DueProcess #DualState #ChecksAndBalances #JudicialBranch #Judiciary #SeparationOfPowers #AbuseOfPower

@lisagetspolitik Just remember: Auschwitz isn't in Germany either.
@Giliell @lisagetspolitik Dachau and many other hundreds of camps were. And Auschwitz was created under German occupation. There was no Polish government anymore.
@_bydbach_ Occupation or banana-republic, same difference. The Nazis kept the gas-chambers out of view of the Germans, see the red dots on this map. https://snl.no/tilintetgj%C3%B8ringsleir

tilintetgjøringsleir – Store norske leksikon

Tilintetgjøringsleir, eller utryddelsesleir, var de fangeleirene i det nasjonalsosialistiske leirsystemet før og under andre verdenskrig som fungerte som rene drapsfabrikker.

And more importantly, out of reach for German courts. A man I know got food sent from home to Sachsenhausen, after red-cross intervention. Just a single cookie or something, but still. Mail-service to Auschwitz was non-existant.
@Giliell @lisagetspolitik
@hakona @Giliell @lisagetspolitik German courts had ceased operating independently by March 1933. That is well before the opening of the extermination camps. Also, Germans were way more complicit in the extermination of Jews, LGBTQ folk, Roma and Sinti, disabled people, Jehovah's Witnesses, any political dissenters etc. than you give them credit for. The first concentration camps were on German territory within eyesight of Germans.
@hakona @_bydbach_ @lisagetspolitik
Yes, but they kept up a show. It's what ultimately saved my great grandma. If you got sentenced they would release you from prison just to be picked up by the Gestapo outside.
@_bydbach_ @lisagetspolitik Way to completely miss the point
@Giliell @lisagetspolitik obviously I did because I know what came before Auschwitz. Could you please explain what you meant?
@_bydbach_ @lisagetspolitik It's about shifting responsibility somewhere else. Oh, not Americans' fault when bad things happen in El Salvador. Oh, but how could poor Germans have known about what happened v in Poland.
@Giliell @lisagetspolitik honestly, I still don't quite get the point. By the time that the camps were created in Poland, Germany was riddled with them, too. There was no way of not knowing why full trains only ever travelled in one direction, regardless of the destination. Our families knew exactly what was going on.
@_bydbach_ @lisagetspolitik They had their plausible deniability. Same as the US is creating now.
@Giliell @lisagetspolitik Da liegt der Hase eben begraben. Diesen Mythos hab ich halt nie abgekauft, auch schon als Kind nicht. Wir hatten sogar ein "Außenlager" für ungefähr 30 Menschen im Nachbardorf. Die gab's praktisch überall in der Art. Buchenwald schickte regelmäßig Gefangene nach Weimar und die Umgebung um dort öffentlich Zwangsarbeit zu verrichten. Im großen und ganzen war's der Bevölkerung egal. Bis zu dem Zeitpunkt als die Alliierten kamen. Erst dann wollte man nichts gewusst haben.
@_bydbach_ @lisagetspolitik Oh, natürlich wussten alle von den Zwangsarbeiter*innen und dass die ganzen jüdischen Menschen weg waren. Und das ist mehr als genug Schuld. Und dennoch haben die Nazis sowohl die Gräuel des Krieges als auch die der Vernichtungslager so lange wie möglich von der deutschen Bevölkerung ferngehalten.
@lisagetspolitik And so it begins...oh wait, we´re already right in he middle of a fascist rule.
I mean we´re not talking about the real creepy genocidal stuff yet.
But taking El Salvador with 2% of its pple being incarcerated as a blueprint for the US would mean roughly 7 m "home-growns" incarcerated in CECOT-style prisons. It´s only a matter of time until someone comes up with a totally logical reason for a final solution.
But I´m surely just overreacting here, right?
@lisagetspolitik It's happening again. I come to the same shocking conclusion, after visiting the Holocausr Museum in Amsterdam and comparing words and actions then with what is now happening in the US: The exact same playbook! With Trump and his staff acting exactly like Hitler and his staff in the 1930s en 1940s!

@lisagetspolitik

That door was opened back with Guantanamo. Everything since is just an expansion of the principle.

@lisagetspolitik Bukele, or as I call him, "Bukkake."

@lisagetspolitik

Just because it's legal doesn't mean it's correct.

@lisagetspolitik

As with the original ones called that in the 2nd Boer War - yup British camps for women & children, followed by internment in Northern Ireland.

Forever there has been the cult of madness in which anyone accused of it can be locked up. tortured & killed without any pretense of process.
Originally used as an alternative to divorce, then the witchhunts to kill single women...

Then the Workhouses...

Why is anybody surprised?

The US has operated a new system of slavery it calls "criminal justice" in which anyone they don't like gets chucked into jails to provide slave labour.
Occasionally making a big deal of killing a few to keep the slaves in line.

This shit is what America was built on BY the British who wanted new commercial opportunities & created transportation to provide the first slaves.
The Revolution was an argument over WHICH capitalists should run things.

THIS time it is not just televised, but also splashed online.

Names, branding and marketing change, nothing else does.
@lisagetspolitik So the US is starting tontreat El Salvador as England greated Australia?
@lisagetspolitik That seems to be the direction he wants to go.
@lisagetspolitik Never forget: Auschwitz (aka Oświęcim) wasn't in Germany either.

Gitmo is the US's first concentration camp. From there, more is easy.
@lisagetspolitik he's not asking, he's telling
@lisagetspolitik The Jews were treated in the same way.
@lisagetspolitik Two years ago I would've called talk of concentration camps and political prisoners hyporbole.
Today it's absolute fact and my mind is still struggling to accept it.
@lisagetspolitik Trump is working to make all his administration operate outside any constraints as a move towards fascism
@lisagetspolitik
Never forget that the US already is running a concentration camp: Guantanamo.
@lisagetspolitik
Politicals and "terrorists" did get their day in "court", if they had the "right" genes. They ended up in places like Sachsenhausen, where regime was slightly less arbitrary, more like a regular prison.
@lisagetspolitik This was my "protest sign" last week - might just use it again this week.
@lisagetspolitik one country can make a case by the #icc in The Hague. It would be a winning case and orders and international warrant. #bukele #elsalavador
@lisagetspolitik they will be killed when overcrowded. Eventually they pay some prisoners with freedom when they kill co prisoners and no state is guilty.
