Intergenerational trauma. And most of it will go unnoticed because the media will ignore it, while the survivors (along with their descendants) won’t feel safe enough to talk about it. Their silence will render their suffering invisible. Looking back at Japanese American incarceration camps during WWII, we can see why: > After the war, Japanese Americans faced the daunting task of re-entering society and rebuilding their lives, uncertain of the level of anti-Japanese sentiments they would encounter. > Some distanced themselves from anyone or anything related to Japan (psychological identification with the aggressor). Their shattered identities, tensions about assimilation, and silence resembled that of Holocaust survivors. > Many attempted to blend into the mainstream, prove themselves, and minimize associations with Japan. This also affected their children. Sansei interviewees reported an "inherited" need to become "super" American and downplay their Japanese identity and culture, "not rock the boat" to avoid drawing attention to themselves, and prove their worth to society through high achievement and hard work. > Meanwhile, their parents fell victim to a kind of "social amnesia," suppressing unpleasant memories and feelings. > Minimal attention in textbooks/the media suggested that Japanese Americans were a "model minority" who had risen from prejudice with no obvious lasting negative effects of the incarceration, but this was an illusion. > Their silence and efforts to "prove" themselves to a home country that unjustly imprisoned them took a critical toll. Survivors were plagued by prevalent psychosomatic disorders, peptic ulcers, and depression, which may have stemmed from the repression of their experiences. > Whether due to suppression or the trauma itself, the physical effects were severe. Former incarcerees were more than twice as likely to develop cardiovascular disease, and twice as likely to die before the age of 60. One interviewee said: > *”I think that many Nisei have died early of various diseases. (My father included. He had cancer at 40 and died at 54.) I really strongly believe that the trauma of incarceration had a physiological effect on them. Most of my Japanese American friends' fathers have died before the age of 60.”* > There were critical intergenerational impacts for the children. Family avoidance of what the parents had endured created a "conspiracy of silence" observed in trauma survivor groups across the world that created a significant gap in the Sansei's personal history and identity development. > Children of survivors grew up hearing about the incarceration only in indirect or cryptic ways. Parents often mentioned it as a vague and general reference point in time using phrases such as "before camp" and "after camp," or shared positive or humorous memories. > From the Nisei's perspective, the lack of communication reflected an attempt to circumvent burdening their children with knowledge about what had happened. As one Nisei interviewee shared: > *"I want them to grow up straight and tall and beautiful as they can, without branding them that they are different, without all the sadness."* [Condensed excerpt from [Processing Cultural Trauma: Intergenerational Effects of the Japanese American Incarceration (2015)](https://operations.du.edu/sites/default/files/2021-07/processing%20cultural%20trauma.pdf)]

The US can't even count how many people are killed by their police force. In Germany we count the amount of ammunition used. And it is less per year than the US police uses against acorns. Also it is on them to show where they are. Otherwise they might end up in a mass grave.

Look up Drey Dossier on substack and YouTube. They shared a story about how there’s evidence Elon was using people being detained as “participants” in neuralink trials. Look for “Who TF Is In My Head?” Edit: as in Musk is using detainees against their will to implant his brain chip as an experiment. A few detainees died with “neurological” symptoms but there wasn’t much more info on that. It’s absolutely insane media isn’t covering the missing people.

> Gov.

Emphasis mine. It cannot, *cannot*, get any clearer than this what the “purpose” was of this facility - to spend taxpayer dollars to terrorize immigrants. Spending hundreds of millions of dollars for a “temporary” facility is PEAK fiscal conservatism in a nutshell.

“It is not immediately clear where the detainees will be taken. The site held nearly 1,400 people as of early April, according to ICE data. DeSantis indicated last week that if the program was shuttered, detainees may be placed in DHS facilities and the small airport that has housed “Alligator Alcatraz” would return to normal operations.” So now they’re being shipped off to some other facility or they’ll speed up deportations.

Good riddance. That place was a disgrace from the start. Waste of money and human dignity both. Finally some sense.

With Florida’s taxpayers holding the bag, DeSantis is seeking investors to redevelop AA into a MAGA themed entertainment park. It’ll be a hard sell as attendees will have to compete with the clouds of aggressive mosquitoes and resentful gators defending their turf.
