    Alligator Auschwitz.

    It’s a Concentration Camp.

    That’s the reason for the absence of transparency. That’s the reason that contractors and suppliers of the Concentration Camp strive to hide their identities.

      Yeah I find it really annoying that the press doesn’t simply call it what it is.

        We don’t have press anymore. We have a propaganda engine.

      One guy compared it to germany with Dachau and how the germans were actually trying to hide how bad it was as opposed to exalting how bad the experience is.

        Based on what it said they’re feeding them? It is.

        Let’s be honest, they won’t kill 258,000,000 people if they do it the way the Nazis did. That would be outright execution. People shouldn’t be eating moldy food, they should know better. (/s I hope it’s obvious, but these are interesting times)

    Every time I see an article about the place, I’m reminded that DeSantis was in the room supervising torture at Guantanamo.

    There was an information blackout at Abu Gharib too.

    But that’s probably just coincidence.

    Nazis don’t want what they are doing getting out. I wonder if we will end up having to carpet bomb Florida like we did Germany.

      Won’t need to.

      A tornado or a category 5 storm will take it out.

      The best part: they will willfully ignore any warnings

    Remember when Trump helped Saudi Arabia assassinate via chainsaw journalist Jamal Khashoggi ?

    The concentration camp in Florida would be the kind of place where Trump would do that in my opinion.

    Using the Australian play book. Aus did this with boat people. To “send a message to smugglers that it is not a profitable aolution”. They put a blackout on the camps and moved them to remote islands because the people locked up were in inhuman conditions and stitching their mouths shut.
