Today Feb 19 is a day to remind us of what our government can do to citizens (like you and me).
The Day of Remembrance (DOR, Japanese: 追憶の日) is a day commemorating the Japanese American internment during World War II. Events in numerous U.S. states are held on or near February 19, the day in 1942 that Executive Order 9066 was signed, requiring internment of all Americans of Japanese ancestry.
As a result, approximately 122,000 men, women, and children of Japanese ancestry were evicted from the West Coast of the United States and held in American concentration camps and other confinement sites across the country. Japanese Americans in Hawaii were not incarcerated in the same way, despite the attack on Pearl Harbor. Although the Japanese American population in Hawaii was nearly 40% of the population of Hawaii itself, only a few thousand people were detained there, supporting the eventual finding that their mass removal on the West Coast was motivated by reasons other than “military necessity.”
Some of the internees, none of whom was ever convicted of a crime were imprisoned in the American Redoubt. Many “good loyal Americans” took over (stole?) their property and, in most cases, it was not returned after their release.
It can’t happen to me? Ask the folks at Waco, Ruby Ridge, or *fill in the blank*.
