Forum Post: The days of slave labor enforced by police and military are not far away.

People will try to get out of the rat race, and they will be jailed and forced to labor. We should all be concerned about the treatment of our prison population, a lot of us will be joining them soon if we rebel against corporatocracy. You know, they will FIND a reason to jail you and force you to make profit for the 1%. National interest or some such bs.

OK, I have to edit this 5 days later because people are confusing me with Alex Jones wackos. Here are some links I posted over the past few days, so you can get where I am coming from:

We need to be aware of hate and encourage tolerance.

LOTS of people are noticing disturbing economic and political trends, here's what Paul Krugman said: "Nobody familiar with Europe’s history can look at this resurgence of hostility without feeling a shiver. Yet there may be worse things happening.

Right-wing populists are on the rise from Austria, where the Freedom Party (whose leader used to have neo-Nazi connections) runs neck-and-neck in the polls with established parties, to Finland, where the anti-immigrant True Finns party had a strong electoral showing last April. And these are rich countries whose economies have held up fairly well. Matters look even more ominous in the poorer nations of Central and Eastern Europe." http://www.nytimes.com/2011/12/12/opinion/krugman-depression-and-democracy.html

"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."

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/11/22/debtors-prison-legal-in-more-than-one-third-of-us-states_n_1107524.html

"Borrowers who can't or don't pay their debts can be sent to jail in more than one-third of states, the Wall Street Journal reports. Judges may issue a warrant when a borrower either misses court ordered payments or doesn't show up in court after being sued for payments on outstanding debt. Though there are no national statistics on the practice of jailing debtors, a WSJ analysis found that judges have issued more than 5,000 debt-related warrants since the beginning of 2010."

This is the one topic where people think I am my own imposter. The police have become an extension of the CORPORATIONS, almost separate from government. I am consistent here, actually.

Oh, and now we have NDAA to deal with. "Despite the fact that the leadership from all the major intelligence agencies (the Secretary of Defense, the Director of the FBI, the Director of National Intelligence, the White House Advisor for Counterterrorism, and the DOJ National Security Division head) have spoken out in opposition to the bill and its indefinite detention authority..." http://www.aclu.org/blog/tag/NDAA

the question becomes are the police willing to be the ones to make our slavery happen, draw our blood and put us into FEMA campos or will they resist the mammon controlled ones, remain true to their vow to protect THE PEOPLE (not corps, or gov.), and need to have the army conquer us peaceful people for mammon. Will the army and navy Air force and marines be willing to enslave the citizens of the US? And kill us in great numbers? We already owe $110,000.00 each in national debt. If we stop paying it what will happen? will they come to claim the land as theirs because they now hold title to all of our land thru bank foreclosures? Will they throw us off of our lands and say we own it now? We will all become refugees and be moved to FEMA work camps.The US has been in bankruptcy since 1933. when will they "call the note" and dissolve this once great country. and what will happen to the people who think they hold clear title to the land they bought and paid for? When it is shown that thru national debt everyone has lost their claim to their paid off land. If our gov does not own the land they can not help.

the future is always bleak for "sheep" when it is time for market. They will come for one group at a time. Christians will be among the first group to be gathered up, for death, what a privilege that represents, we are the most important threat to world domination by mammon. Other groups will follow one by one. Until it is your turn. A world population of 500,000,000 million will be achieved. Those that buy into you can be saved by going along, will deserve what they get.

they are ready for massive public unrest, my question,.will the police fall on the side of "we the people" or the side of mammon? we will see. Perhaps the military with its better mind control will be required to serve mammon to physically enslave us. I do not wish to hurt anyone, I do not wish to enslave anyone, I do not wish to overthrow my government, I want to make some positive changes for the good of all our citizens to our existing gov. We are supposed to be able to do that legally.

Capitalism is a growing and increasingly harsher and more deadly prison for the >99%, with the choices of an slave existence increasingly limited to death. Whether you find yourself at the top tiers with devaluation of fiat money and increasing "national" or rather "global" debt as your shackles or you find yourself at the bottom in Death Row. Capital demands blood sacrifice. The beast must be fed by your life energy and even flesh and blood.

What is your solution to this so-called problem? I am extremely perplexed by your line of thinking.

I own a copy in my library. Sounds like you could draws plans straight from that book and what? Bomb wall street? Storm Pelican Bay?
Or do you actually have a peaceful solution to this problem? Make a comprehensive list of wants. I did - 1. flat tax 2. throw out the tax code 3. pass civics test before earning the privilege to vote 3 10% reduction in government in 5 years.

Right, because everyone in the 1% is inherently evil and want to achieve world domination, tell that to Bill Gates. Plus this would never work cuz the top 1% is constantly changing.

[-] 2 points by gnomunny (6819) from St Louis, MO 12 years ago

Wrong example. Don't let the smile or geek persona fool you. Gates is decidedly evil. A megalomaniac that at one time envisioned controlling a huge portion of the world through the PC, specifically the software that runs it. The Federal government had to reign him in numerous times over the years. He's also a depopulationist. I've paid close attention to his rise since the early nineties and know what I'm talking about. Most people think he's a good person simply because he gives away billions. That's for TAX purposes, not because he's a 'good guy.' And don't even get me started about his vaccination program, there's more to that than meets the eye. Trust me, the last thing Gates and his ilk want are millions more poverty level mouths to feed (Africa). You should have said Warren Buffett, he does seem like a nice guy. I can find no fault with him so far.

UNBELIEVABLE. Here you go:

[-] 1 points by friendlyopposition (574) 12 years ago

He asked for a link where someone who did not commit a crime was jailed. All your response states is that it is an option in many states. Even the example in the story is about a man jailed for contempt of court, and he was out in several hours. Hardly to be considered 'debtors prison.' If it had happened somewhere in the US - don't you think it would have been mentioned in that article?

[-] 1 points by BlueRose (1437) 12 years ago

Yeah, that's part of the game. Give them a bunch of court dates for the same offense, so they end up eventually missing a date. Or, after the judgement, if they default a payment, they can go to jail.

Also, see this, I did post it above:

"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.

I wasn't aware it was legal and I don't agree with it in most circumstances. The WSJ article that link relates to seems to suggest this problem is getting better though, with numerous states fighting to change the laws right now. Republicans and Democrats alike. The title of this post and the commentary in your original post are pretty alarmist concerning the reality of the situation.

[-] 0 points by HarryPairatestes2 (380) from Barrow, AK 12 years ago

That's the basis for your whole post?

Here are the only two examples from the article:

" "And in Kansas City, one man ended up in jail after missing only a furniture payment, KCTV5 reports. James Davis purchased a mattress, bed and computer, but soon lost his job to the recession, making it difficult for him to payoff the purchases. He was repeatedly pulled into court so that collectors could find ways for him to make the payments, but after missing one hearing a warrant was issued for his arrest. Davis is suing in federal court for the way he was treated.

In June, a Colorado woman was jailed because she hadn't paid off the fines and restitution related to a car accident, The Huffington Post then reported."

The guy was not jailed for missing a payment. he did not show up to court for a judgment debtor hearing and a warrant was issued.

The lady was ordered to pay fines and restitution (had to be a criminal case since restitution is a criminal remedy). She failed to obey a court order. It is not a "debt". It happens to criminals all the time who fail to pay their fines as part of their probation. Some criminals choose to go to jail instead of having fines hanging over their heads as part of their probation.

Now, do you have an actual case where someone owes money to a creditor and the creditor does not have a judgment against the debtor and still the debtor goes to jail? I don't think so.

[-] 1 points by friendlyopposition (574) 12 years ago

Our prison population isn't forced to toil. Most of the work was taken away because it infringed on union labor. Besides, what little work that they do have is considered a reward because living in prison with nothing to do all day is more taxing on a person than working.

There are people who, in principle, will not participate in enriching a company by their own slave prison labor. So they are not often let out of their cells.
