Next in MAGAland…#USA


These are Stolpersteine or Stumbling Stones in English.They’re found all over mainland Europe,indeed anywhere the Nazis had invaded…

They’re the work of artists Gunter Damnzig and they’re to be found on any given street in any European city from the Mediterranean to the Baltic,from the Atlantic coast to the Ural mountains…why you might ask? 

These brass plaque embedded into the street outside seemingly random buildings are the records of those deemed enemies of the Nazi regime,mostly Jewish but not exclusively so,who were forcibly evicted from their homes,deported to death camps where many perished and also, to add  cruel & barbaric insult to cruel and barbaric injury, their homes were then taken over by locals deemed loyal to the regime no doubt after the same loyal citizens had disowned them to the relevant authorities…these Stolpersteine are the visible record on the streets of such inhumanity…

Think such barbarism couldn’t happen in the USA? Well you’re already on the way with your own citizens being deported to god know‘s where and to god know‘s what conditions.They may not be recognised as “ death “ camps but the letter’s in the post.If the Republican Party are happy to cut medical aid to millions of those it deems loyal supporters how much care will be taken to those locked up as enemies of the state? 

As for redistribution of property from deported disloyal individuals/families to those loyal to Trump,Miller,Bannon et al it’s only a matter of time and sadly there are many of your own neighbours and possibly friends and family who are only too happy,willing and able to be party to such barbarity…to put it bluntly much as there were millions upon millions of German/European Nazis willing to throw their friends & family into the waiting ovens so there’s the same in the USA…

The only light at the end of the tunnel I can see is that the resistance is bigger and possibly better organised but courage is needed as those in power will attempt to hold on to that power with all they have and distressingly the logical outcome would seem to be open warfare against it’s own citizens…

Best of luck decent Americans.I think you will need it otherwise in thirty years time another artist will be laying Stolpersteines into your streets…
