US government requirements unfair

THE EDITOR: The article in a local newspaper about a citizen of Trinidad and Tobago being shackled, handcuffed and deported for allegedly overstaying his visa limit 19 years ago, whether credible or even not so credible together with the new US government requirement that our visitor/citizens are to be photographed and fingerprinted adds to the accumulated evidence that the United States together with Israel are the foremost fascist states in the world today.

Of course, the information obtained from the fingerprinting and photographing of our citizens will be entered into the American NCIC (Criminal Record Database), the Canadian CPIC (the Canadian equivalent) and eventually Interpol’s mega database. Citizens of Trinidad and Tobago will be now in the same class as common or garden criminals out of the US ghettos etc and on the same level as the growing number of blacks and non-whites (10 percent and growing) which the US State and Federal Governments ensure are fingerprinted and photographed and their records entered into the above mentioned databases. The target in America is of course to ensure that 100 percent of all blacks and non-white in that country befall that fate. The method used is to charge blacks and non-whites with minor offences to ensure that the police obtain their records. This practice has been going on for years.

15 plus years of living in North America permitted me to obtain quite a lot of information including violations of the rights of blacks and non-white and I continue to upgrade this information. Big Brother is very much alive and growing by monstrous proportion in the USA. What does the above tell us? Add America’s unlawful and indecent invasion of Iraq (a blatant war crime and an example of the quintessence of hypocrisy and deceit) together with the continuous acts of Israeli genocide against the Palestinians and add the further ingredient of Jewish control of the Bush Regime and voila — even Hitler’s Germany and Gereralissimo Franco’s Spain could not in 50 or more years do better. In fact these two countries (USA and Israel) are the super fascist states of the 21st century. Both in Ame-rica and Trinidad and Tobago when one listens to the comments of many of those supposedly intelligent persons they are proud to be called “Good Germans” either because of admiration for the Bush Regime or because of the family ties in the US. It sounds so much like an “I am all right Jack so to hell with everybody else” or the old union song “This Trini land can kiss my a..., I’ve got a fascist green card at last”. For me I need no visa, I need no green card to visit that country but I have told both my friends and family that as long as America remains a fascist state I will not set foot in that country. I will take my chance with SARS in Canada which country I can also enter without let or hindrance.
