Slavery still exist part 1
This is a plea to all those who might read this: We are heading towards a presidential election. The last 7 years has been a time of rape and pillage of the ruling elite of the middle and lower classes. In fact in the US alone 1.7 trillion dollars has left the middle class and went up to the top %1 pockets and what are we so called middle class people left with? We have credit card debts, unpaid bills, school loans to pay, medical bills, many are poorly insured or uninsured, 40% of Americans are in debt! The United states is trillions of dollars in deficit and where did the money go? WAKE THE FUCK UP YOU SHEEP! In all due respect of course! I am tired of looking into your blank, weary eyes on the Subway commuting you modern day serfs! Wake up landless Serfdom is back (one example is the sub prime mortgage collapse), as also get this Slavery has not ended it just changed names. Have you been to some of our fine inner city projects lately? Do you see what has been done to the African American community with Bush Family sponsored drugs and CIA inspired race riots in watts, LA, and Detroit. "As of 2006, a record 7 million people were behind bars, on probation or parole. Of the total, 2.2 million were incarcerated. China ranks second with 1.5 million, though China has over three times the population of the US." Most of those offenses are drug related and from some of the drugs the CIA/FBI/BLACK WATER/NSA (almost same org) shipped into the nation to profit from and to justify a myriad of criminal activities too many to list! The prisons you can just call "plantations" for the inmates work for the new masters ATT, the Military weapons complex, and many others: Parallel to Nazi Germany? There are approximately 2 million inmates in state, federal and private prisons throughout the country. According to California Prison Focus, "no other society in human history has imprisoned so many of its own citizens." The figures show that the United States has locked up more people than any other country: a half million more than China, which has a population five times greater than the U.S. Statistics reveal that the United States holds 25% of the world's prison population, but only 5% of the world's people. From less than 300,000 inmates in 1972, the jail population grew to 2 million by the year 2000. In 1990 it was one million. Ten years ago there were only five private prisons in the country, with a population of 2,000 inmates; now, there are 100, with 62,000 inmates. It is expected that by the coming decade, the number will hit 360,000, according to reports. What has happened over the last 10 years? Why are there so many prisoners? "The private contracting of prisoners for work fosters incentives to lock people up. Prisons depend on this income. Corporate stockholders who make money off prisoners' work lobby for longer sentences, in order to expand their workforce. The system feeds itself," says a study by the Progressive Labor Party, which accuses the prison industry of being "an imitation of Nazi Germany with respect to forced slave labor and concentration camps." The prison industry complex is one of the fastest-growing industries in the United States and its investors are on Wall Street. "This multimillion-dollar industry has its own trade exhibitions, conventions, websites, and mail-order/Internet catalogs. It also has direct advertising campaigns, architecture companies, construction companies, investment houses on Wall Street, plumbing supply companies, food supply companies, armed security, and padded cells in a large variety of colors." According to the Left Business Observer, the federal prison industry produces 100% of all military helmets, ammunition belts, bullet-proof vests, ID tags, shirts, pants, tents, bags, and canteens. Along with war supplies, prison workers supply 98% of the entire market for equipment assembly services; 93% of paints and paintbrushes; 92% of stove assembly; 46% of body armor; 36% of home appliances; 30% of headphones/microphones/speakers; and 21% of office furniture. Airplane parts, medical supplies, and much more: prisoners are even raising seeing-eye dogs for blind people."
