Wesley Clark Calls for Interning “Disloyal” Americans

Retired US Army
General and the former Supreme Allied Commander of Europe for NATO Wesley Clark
advocates rounding up “radicalized” and “disloyal” Americans and putting them in
internment camps for the “duration” of the war on terror.
“In World War II if
someone supported Nazi Germany at the expense of the United States, we didn’t
say that was freedom of speech, we put him in a camp, they were prisoners of
war,” Clark told MSNBC.
The difference is
that World War II was a war declared under Article I, Section 8, Clause II of
the Constitution whereas the war on terror is undeclared and thus
illegal.
Clark is in essence
advocating a life sentence for people who have not committed a crime but merely
engaged in speech — often reprehensible, yet constitutionally protected — the
government considers radical and in opposition to its foreign
policy.
The Bush
administration declared the war on terror would last a generation or more. Senior officialswith the Obama
administration meanwhile have said — when formulating “disposition matrix” to
determine how terrorism suspects will be disposed of — they had reached a “broad
consensus that such operations are likely to be extended at least another
decade” or more.
The Edward
Snowden “leaks reveal that the war on terror at home continues to grind on,
capturing in its dragnet millions of Americans and foreigners, many of them
innocent of any crime. The war on terror has become institutionalized, and the
domestic costs of this war continue to mount: privacy is being eroded;
communications are being monitored; and dissent is being cracked down on. The
primary targets of the domestic war on terror continue to be Muslims and Arabs,
though it is now clear that the sweep of the domestic war has ensnared millions
of other Americans. And there is no end in sight to this domestic juggernaut,”
writes Alex Kane.
Clark’s remarks
reveal the mindset of the upper echelon of government. Those who disagree with
the government are now to be rounded up and shut up indefinitely in political
internment camps.
Mass internment of
official enemies on par with Nazi Germany and Stalin’s Soviet Union is now “on
the table” and openly discussed as suspicious attacks and FBI orchestrated and
grandstanded terror plots continue to grab headlines and build a reactionary
consensus as the designed result of an incessant, decades-long propaganda
campaign.
