Evil America Beware
America, look at yourself and what you are doing. Your nation is the greatest evil to attempt to take over mankind yet for its own sinister deeds. Masters and Slaves, and nothing in between. It is what your country always wanted and still does.
I challenge those of you who say America is good, to read this article to the end, and if you don’t finish it with an extreme feeling of disgust and an urgent need to put an end to those who create this, you have already become less than human and it is to late for you, your part of it.
Help finish off America, before it finishes off the world.

The prison industry in the United States: big business or a new form of slavery?
BY VICKY PELAEZ (Taken from El Diario-La Prensa, New York
HUMAN rights organizations, as well as political and social ones, are condemning what they are calling a new form of inhumane exploitation in the United States, where they say a prison population of up to 2 million – mostly Black and Hispanic – are working for various industries for a pittance. For the tycoons who have invested in the prison industry, it has been like finding a pot of gold. They don’t have to worry about strikes or paying unemployment insurance, vacations or comp time. All of their workers are full-time, and never arrive late or are absent because of family problems; moreover, if they don’t like the pay of 25 cents an hour and refuse to work, they are locked up in isolation cells.
(This is just the very beginning of this article, it holds important truths that all need to know, so do take the time to read all of it.)
And people wonder why thouse who live here dont stand up more.Thouse who live here know in truths whats happening shoot here where i live 2 new jails going up federal ones .You Would think thay would let out the none violent people and make them pay a fine and stuff but noooooo now thay going to start putting them to work some it probly will help but most just cheep labor.That changeing laws so fast here even the most law abiding human will be breaking laws and not know it.
In days of heavy movement activity, there was a companion who made the mistake of trading a six pack of beer in exchange for a stolen package of steaks with a teen age boy who worked in a grocery store. The boy immediately told his father, who relayed it to the cops. My friend got probation.
In order that I would be protected, I wasn't told when the group distributed anti war leaflets at the high school where I was teaching. My friend held on when a far right minded teacher grabbed his leaflets and claimed he had been attacked. The friend was arrested for aggravated assault but tried for breaking probation. I testified to what really happened. The teacher and another of like politic lied. The judge was awakened from sleep to pronounce a predetermined sentence, year and a half in a maximum security prison.
Things that go around, come around, and there was an encore. I was involved in a very successful research program called Hooked On Books in which problem students could study anything they want any way they want as long as they turned in one full written page per day. One girl, who suffered from recurrent epilepsy, studied witchcraft. She was sympathetic to the movement and hated the attitudes of those two teachers. Within a month, they both died at home of unexpected heart attacks.
Maybe there is something we're missing.
Zatikia,
That was a very interesting article.
The interesting part of this whole gulag economy is that people on the outside are convinced that these people are being rehabilitated and trained to hold a job in the prison.
But the sad truth is that once the prisoner's sentences have been served, it is very difficult for them to find jobs due to background checks done by all employers these days. Often an employer that hires ex-cons will not pay a competitive rate. This all increases the likelyhood that they are back within a few months.
