I am related in no biological or historical manner to the people memorialized in the photo below.
Not by religion, culture, ancestors, politics, nor in any other aspect do I share anything with these people.
But that does not mean I can ignore what government did to them .
What a government did do, legally.
Framed within the never-ending fictions government proclaims to be "laws".
These people had no sanctuary from legalized government execution.
This was wrong then - no government should do such things, ever.
It is still wrong now.
Right now, around the planet,
governments are beginning to adopt concentration camp mentality once again.
We may know the beginnings of these movements as
'hostile environment' or
'immigration deterrence' policies.
In some nations these tides have no names.
Fluttering flags immersed in patriotic anthems about proud sons on distant battlefields,
the howl of Nationalist agendas are cloaking intentions of something not yet forgotten.
Now, once again, we see the groundwork being laid for extermination of those 'others'.
It begins with biometric classification
and redefining people according to circumstantial attributes.
- Defining people with no means of escape by the color of their skin.
- Assessing their market value by gender.
- Assigning their fate according some notional scrap of paper with a date-of-birth.
- Declaring them unforgivably illegal by virtue of where they were born.
- Condemned by the borders within which their parents grew up.
All done with computer databases designed for incarceration.
And once a collection of human beings are carded and caged,
a clock somewhere begins to tick a countdown to the day
when no further solution remains for those who 'society' has abandoned.
Perhaps there are some of you out there who would join me
in offering Sanctuary to those who would commit to Harm no other Beings.
Sanctuary, for those who are not a threat to anyone.
