When Most people Hear the Last Name Roosevelt, they either think of Theodore Roosevelt, who Is personally my favorite US President and an absolute legend, or Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the American Dictator. After America went to war with Japan, FDR, not unlike Adolf Hitler or Stalin, round up 125,000 Japanese-American citizens on the basis that they were spies. Executive order 9066 authorized the arrest and detention without charges of American citizens of Japanese ancestry Franklin Delano Roosevelt passed this law on February 19, 1942. 2 reports Roosevelt commissioned In the years prior to their Internment found that Japanese Americans posed little to no risk to the government, but FDR Ignored the reports recommendations. 70,000 of those detained had been American citizens for years and a simple executive order, no due process, allowed them to be arrested them for no reason other than their race and nationality. With executive order 6102 signed on April 5, 1933 everyone living In the United States Of America was given 25 days to turn In their gold, their property, gold coins and bullion was confiscated. It became a federal offense for anyone to own or trade gold anywhere In the world, except for some exceptions like Jewelry and collectors coins, the government paid about 20 dollars per ounce for the gold they forced the American Citizens to give up, and shortly after the raised the price to 35 dollars. They essentially stole half the wealth of people who owned gold In a time where America and the world was experiencing mass unemployment and people were poor. And back then owning gold was a popular way to keep your savings, they could do that because at that point a dollar was still backed by a set amount of gold. Increasing the dollar value of gold allowed them to print more money, and the law wasn't repealed until 1974. Only then was private ownership of gold once again fully legal in the united states. Benito Mussolini was the fascist dictator of Italy, In league with Hitler during World War II. The book three new deals actually shows how similar the 3 leaders of the USA, Italy, and Germany, were. It also recounts how FDR once said "I don't mind telling you in confidence." FDR remarked to a white house correspondent, "That I am keeping in fairly close touch with that admirable Italian gentleman." Mussolini and FDR were two peas In a pod. Diana West describes in her book 'American Betrayal' just how well the soviet union infiltrated the white house. Top officials close to the president were supportive of the soviet regime, and some were almost certainly actual Soviet spies. In one sketchy encounter soldiers were told to stand down when they witnessed American secrets being smuggled out of the USA on a plane bound for Russia guarded by Soviet soldiers. This may be how the Soviet Union was able to find out the secrets of the Manhattan Project and produce their own Nuclear Weapons. Many other policies were directly influenced by socialist sympathizers and possibly outright spies in the government appointed by FDR. For instance soviet troops were given American supplies during world war 2 through a lend lease program, while American soldiers mainly lacked these supplies. Reason Magazine describes FDR's war against free speech, Roosevelt warned In 1938 that "Our newspapers cannot be edited In the interest of the general public from the counting room. And I wish we could have a national symposium on that question, particularly In the relation to freedom of press. How many bogies are conjured up by Invoking that greatly overworked phrase?" he's basically saying that he wishes he could abolish freedom of press simply because of fake news. Roosevelt also started the FCC and limited licenses for broadcast radio to six months, that way the government could revoke a license and shut down critics of FDR, and It did not take long for broadcasters to get the message. The agricultural adjustment act of 1933 reauthorized in 1938 was allegedly to help struggling farmers. The point was to raise the prices of crops to keep farmers from going broke and abandoning their farms, of course if farmers were abandoning their farms because prices were too low to make a living that would have naturally decreased the supply. Instead power hungry leaders like FDR just had to intervene and the consequences were disastrous. Remember this was during the Great Depression which meant already struggling families had to pay more for food. Then when not enough crops were grown in the US the US had to import crops making the country more dependent and less self-sufficient. My hands feel like they're going to break so I'll cut this short. FDR also Ignored warnings of Pearl Harbor and Insisted on placing ships In Pearl Harbor and even demoted the commander who suggested he place the ships somewhere else, this was possibly because he wanted to go to war with Japan. He was also racist and refused to meet with Jessie Owns in the White House after he won an Olympic Gold Medal because he was black. Also remember that Instead of siding with his relative Theodore during the 1912 elections, Roosevelt sided with another American dictator, Woodrow Wilson, and rose to prominence during Wilson's terms as president. All In all FDR prolonged the Great Depression and dragged us Into a war with Japan after he Ignore warnings of Pearl Harbor and placed a harsh embargo on Japan.
