It was not Family Separation, It was Abduction. It was a very serious crime.

Last edited Mon Aug 8, 2022, 09:18 AM - Edit history (1)

I have been waiting for a serious investigation into the adduction of thousands of babies at the border. This was pure evil. I am glad the news media is talking about it again. Maybe the DOJ at soDe point will start a major investigation into this tragedy.

In a way this is very personnel to me. I was involved in the the 1980 cuban refugee crisis. As a member of the US Army I helped process into American thousands of refugees. It was one the best things I ever did in my life. I remember the children of the refugees. The smiles on their faces. If I had been given an order to separate, abduct, the children from their mothers, I would have refused. I would have told them to Court Martial my ass. No way would I do something so evil.

The news media must stop calling this family separation, that's bullshit. They abducted children and they were never going to return them to their parents.

escape so unscathed. It would be as though all the Nazis, but Eichmann were prosecuted. Then again, Joseph Mengele comes to mind--who ultimately evaded any consequences whatsoever despite his horrific role.

Miller may not have killed anyone, but his intentional harm to young children and their families will be lifelong and his racist unrepentant hatred of immigrants approaches that of his antisemitic counterparts.

I hope there will be such an investigation into the whole regime.

Maybe there is and we just don't know it. I suspect that one of the reasons the J6 investigation is such a can of worms is the separation of criminal cases and which perps get investigated in which case. It's such a major catastrophuck, to quote Jon Stewart.

Wishful thinking but possible.

I still remember the late night planes landing in her state, with BABIES (none could walk yet)….

Anyone else remember this?

and yes, i recall she got little ones, and also that there was something about getting those kids declared adoptable. legal stuff about claiming they were abandoned.
i will not be the least bit shocked when we start hearing stories about children who disappeared, or were later found w some creep.

They all got involved with the IQ45 gang because they saw the chance to expand their illegal enterprises with impunity. Some of the most immoral and damaging enterprises, so they put their "best" criminal minds in office to help make it all legal for their interests only.

Not one of them should go uninvestigated for criminal activity while in government employ.

That's what the Republican party has become: a violent, hate-filled, spiteful, aggrieved mob.

If this child separation policy had happened in any other country, we would have called it an atrocity.
And we would have been right.
This should certainly be investigated and if we find out this was allowed under US law then we need to change the law to make sure this can't happen again.

You know the pedos preyed on those poor babies. We are going to hear Catholic like abuse stories from the survivors.

And we the citizens of the US are going to be held accountable.....not the pedos who did it.
