Happy Hump Day Health Heroes.

Welcome to another Wellness Wednesday.

Back in the day of daily themes, we would talk about Wellness strategies on Wednesday. As you might imagine, if you watch wellness media, that got boring pretty fast. There are less than a handful of basic practices that anyone, (barring pre-existing conditions), must do to improve their wellness. So week after week we would go on about the Wellness 1-2-3’s. We’d do updates on our own wellness practices and health evals. Yadda-yadda-yadda.

We purposely kept it vague. Anything more invites excuses. “I can’t do that because of my, [insert pre-existing condition.] Bad knee, hurt shoulder, chronic insomnia. There are as many excuses as there are body parts. Even more. [By the way, this vessel has had “pre-existing conditions,” patience and tenacity, and some good data, (& faith), win the day.

“You can get to livin’ or you can get to dyin’.”

We recommend today’s audio. It’s a long and bumpy read. Travel at your own risk. The audio is the express lane. (No tolls.)

We asked Mind, why do Americans believe than the populations of the world Love America? Is it Disney World? Times Square? Our Freedom? Or the superior education offered by our Universities? Or, is it all just another big lie?

Your humble vagabond did not get love vibes for the US during my travels abroad. Several of the wealthier folks I met had traveled to the states for work, or Disney, or New York, but they weren’t gushing about it. America treats tourists the same way Thailand treats tourists. Like cash machines. Plus, “America,” however we define it, let’s call it the “Republic” doesn’t want “foreigners” here. They don’t even want natives here, unless you can dig up some coal, lay tracks, (not musical tracks), or build skyscrapers.

So maybe this, “The World Loves America,” is just a myth. Humans don’t really want to “come” here. The are sent here, or they flee here, or they are lured here. There are some legit stories about coming here for work, education or a better life. But that’s still escaping from somewhere else.

Ten years ago, your humble vagabond was crafting his master plan to leave the US and ex-pat around the world for as long as possible. It was only possible until the plandemic was unleashed, and the whole world panicked. The “world” was exposed. The grip of power and compliance revealed. It was apocalyptic in the true sense of the word. The choice was America. Because that’s where family and friends are, despite their own response to the “crisis.” If the world is going to end, I am going to be home when that happens.

As Mythical as the Dream
America as a collective personality is horribly deluded about its place within the global community and the esteem with which it’s regarded by the community. There may be a segment of today’s episode that covers this delusion. Today’s audio text will go a bit deeper. But before I forget, here’s the myth. “All the world loves America. Everyone wants to come to America and everyone wants to be America. “America, is a very powerful nation.” I hear this daily from some of the freelance geo-political analysts. They talk about, “projecting power around the world,” “US dollar hegemony,” and stuff like that. Meanwhile, US America, can’t take care of its homeland.
Part of the “Everybody loves us and wants to be us” conceit, is that everybody wants to come to America. That’s only true sometimes, like when American troops or their allies are bombing their countries, or have somehow fouled up the environment, created a coup, or color revolution. They have to come here, rather than want to. Some humans want to come here because of the mystique Hollywood created. It depends on the era really. The earliest immigrants wanted to practice their heresies without being put to the faggot, or flattened beneath a slab of granite. That didn’t turn out to be the case so much Massachusetts, but those who escaped to Pennsylvania had an easier time of it. They don’t call it the “Quaker State” for nothing.
We recently had to ask, “Why would anybody want to come here?” Aside from the aforementioned reasons, there is the fact that one could get a superior, if biased, education here, but that’s not the case so much anymore. Foreign students often return home with bad Yankee habits that cause more trouble than the benefits of that degree. Plus, American’s don’t want you here. They’ll take your cheap labor and come to your ethnic restaurants in the event of a Christmas mishap, but by and large, the echo of “immigrants building America,” doesn’t mean they want you to stick around, be fruitful and multiply. It threatens their supremacy. Anyway, we compiled a few examples of how America, in any given era, treats it’s immigrants, which in some cases, didn’t even come from outside of US borders. But their ancestors did.

The Chinese Exclusion Act: Wanted When Useful, Rejected When Unwanted.

The Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 stands as the clearest possible proof of a recurring American pattern: welcome “foreigners” only when their bodies are needed for brutal labor, then cast them aside once they are no longer convenient. No other immigrant group was ever singled out by name for complete exclusion before or since.

In the 1860s, Chinese workers were not just tolerated but actively recruited to build the Transcontinental Railroad. They comprised up to 80% of the Central Pacific workforce, performing the most dangerous jobs, handling nitroglycerin, carving tunnels through the Sierra Nevada, for lower pay than white workers. They were praised as “industrious” and “reliable” as long as the tracks needed laying. But once the railroad was completed in 1869, the narrative flipped overnight.

White workers, especially in California, blamed Chinese immigrants for driving down wages. Labor unions, politicians, and newspapers began depicting the same men as “unassimilable,” “filthy,” and a “yellow peril.” This racist backlash was codified into federal law. The Chinese Exclusion Act, signed by President Chester A. Arthur in 1882, banned all Chinese laborers from entering the United States for ten years and denied those already here any path to citizenship. It was renewed in 1892 and made permanent in 1902, not fully repealed until 1943, and even then, only because China had become a World War II ally.

The pattern could not be more explicit. America needed Chinese labor to build its infrastructure, then criminalized the very same people for existing. The Chinese Exclusion Act was not an accident or a regional anomaly, it was the federal government enshrining the idea that non-white workers are tools to be used and discarded. That legacy has never truly disappeared.

The Voyage of the St. Louis: America's Closed Door to Jewish Refugees.

The fate of the MS St. Louis in 1939 stands as one of the most shameful episodes in American history, proving again that the United States values foreign lives only as instruments of labor, not as human beings in peril.

In May 1939, over 900 Jewish refugees, almost all of them German citizens, fled the Nazi regime aboard the St. Louis, bound for Cuba. They carried valid landing certificates, but after they sailed, Cuba's pro-fascist government invalidated them. Desperate, the ship turned toward the United States, the great beacon of liberty. The refugees could see the lights of Miami from the deck. They begged for asylum.

The Roosevelt administration refused them. State Department officials, led by Secretary of State Cordell Hull, instructed the Coast Guard to shadow the ship and prevent anyone from swimming ashore. Immigration quotas were cited as the legal reason, but the deeper cause was virulent American anti-Semitism. Polls at the time showed that a majority of Americans opposed allowing Jewish refugees into the country. The U.S. had already refused to raise its strict annual quotas, leaving tens of thousands of European Jews to die. The St. Louis was forced to sail back to Europe.

Eventually, four European countries, Britain, France, Belgium, and the Netherlands, accepted the refugees. But within a few years, the Nazis overran three of those nations. Of the 937 passengers, approximately 254 were murdered in the Holocaust. They died because the United States, a nation with immense capacity and resources, would not open its doors to people who were not useful as cheap labor.

America needed Chinese workers to build railroads. It needed enslaved Africans to pick cotton. But it did not need Jewish refugees. So it turned them away. The message was unmistakable: you are welcome only if we can exploit you. Otherwise, you are not our problem.

Japanese American Internment: Citizens Stripped of Everything.

The forced incarceration of 120,000 Japanese Americans during World War II represents the most sweeping violation of constitutional rights in modern American history. Two-thirds of them were native-born U.S. citizens. None had been charged with any crime.

After Pearl Harbor, a wave of racist hysteria, fueled by decades of anti-Asian sentiment on the West Coast, painted all Japanese Americans as potential saboteurs. Despite no evidence of a single act of espionage by any Japanese American, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066 in February 1942. Families were given weeks, sometimes days, to dispose of their belongings. Most were forced to sell homes, farms, and businesses at pennies on the dollar. They could take only what they could carry. Then they were sent to remote camps surrounded by barbed wire and armed guards in places like Manzanar, California, and Heart Mountain, Wyoming.

What followed was a deliberate campaign of dispersal. After the war, the government actively discouraged internees from returning to the West Coast. The War Relocation Authority worked to scatter Japanese Americans across the Midwest and East Coast, hoping to prevent any future concentration of "undesirables." Many never recovered their property. A 1948 commission later found that Japanese Americans suffered an estimated $6 billion (in today's dollars) in property losses.

To be fair, the United States eventually acknowledged this wrong, quietly, reluctantly, and decades late. In 1988, President Ronald Reagan signed the Civil Liberties Act, which issued a formal apology and $20,000 in compensation to each surviving internee. The first checks were not mailed until 1990, nearly fifty years after the incarceration. For most survivors, the money was symbolic. The farms, the businesses, the years of lost freedom, those could never be returned. Once again, America had used racial fear to justify expulsion, and only generations later offered a reluctant check.

Robert Taylor Homes: The Ghetto as Payment for Labor.

The Robert Taylor Homes represent America's final betrayal of the Great Migration. Between 1916 and 1970, six million Black Americans fled the terror of the Jim Crow South, lynchings, sharecropping debt, legalized humiliation, for the promise of industrial jobs and basic dignity in the North. They came because factories in Chicago, Detroit, and Cleveland were desperate for labor. They built the cars, slaughtered the meat, and forged the steel that powered the American century.

But America never wanted them as neighbors. It wanted their hands, not their families.

Chicago's answer to the Black influx was the "Second Ghetto", a deliberate, government-sanctioned system of racial segregation. The Robert Taylor Homes, completed in 1962, were its most monstrous expression. Stretching for nearly two miles along the Dan Ryan Expressway, the 28 high-rises were placed squarely within the existing Black Belt, separated from white neighborhoods by the expressway itself, a literal concrete wall. The Chicago Housing Authority, with active encouragement from city hall and federal officials, concentrated tens of thousands of poor Black families into one isolated corridor. Amenities were stripped. Police were underfunded. Jobs, meanwhile, were disappearing as factories fled to the suburbs and overseas.

The message could not have been clearer. You were useful when we needed workers. Now we have built you a concrete reservation where you can live, and die, out of sight.

The Robert Taylor Homes were not a natural disaster. They were a policy choice. Southern Blacks came north seeking freedom and found a vertical ghetto, deliberately designed to warehouse them. No apology followed. No redress was paid. Unlike Japanese American internees, the residents of the Taylor Homes received nothing—not even the quiet, reluctant check. Their labor built Chicago. Their confinement was Chicago's thanks.
The Somalis of Minnesota: Laborers Welcome, People Undesired.

The Somali story in America follows the same bitter pattern. They arrived because they were needed. They are resented because they stayed.

Beginning in the early 1990s, civil war reduced Somalia to rubble. Hundreds of thousands fled. The United States, under President George H.W. Bush, granted Temporary Protected Status to Somalis already in the country, acknowledging that sending them back would mean death. Then came the jobs. Meat-packing plants in Marshall, Minnesota, and the Jennie-O turkey plant in Willmar needed workers. Hard, reliable labor that the existing workforce would not provide. Somali refugees filled those shifts. They processed the meat, drove the taxis, staffed the hospitals. Minnesota, with its liberal reputation and existing social services, became home to the largest Somali population in America, over 108,000 people today. The state's economy would struggle without them.

But America wants only the labor. It wants the labor without the people attached.

Almost immediately, controversy followed. After September 11, the federal government closed Somali money-transfer offices, alleging terrorist links. Somali youth, some reports claimed, were recruited by al-Shabaab. Gangs with names like the "Somali Mafia" emerged in Minneapolis. Then came the Feeding Our Future scandal, a massive COVID relief fraud case in which dozens of Somalis were convicted for bilking taxpayers of $250 million meant to feed children. President Trump seized on it, calling Somali immigrants "garbage" who "come from hell" and "contribute nothing". He revoked their protected status. ICE raids ramped-up in Minnesota and Maine, where Lewiston's Somali community had revitalized a dying mill-town.

The mayor of Willmar, a small Midwestern city transformed by Somali workers, summed up the contradiction. When asked what would happen if Somalis were deported, he said simply: "Jennie-O. They aren't going to have the workers".

America needed Somalis to process its turkey. It just never wanted them to call it home. The pattern, from Chinese railroad workers to Black Southern sharecroppers to Jewish refugees to Somali butchers, never changes. Your labor is welcome. You are not.
This is not only a psychological, but a historical “abstract” of America’s attitude towards, mostly “melinated” peoples, or the case of the Jews, “Jews.” It matters not whether such folk were centuries deep in the land, or here on student visas. The message is, you are not welcome in the land of the free and the home of the brave. We could go on. But you get the picture. We are not writing a book. Just an over-long companion piece for today’s episode. (This audio could very well be longer than today’s episode.” Subscribe up. The “disco version” (of the episode), will be available soon.
