Three strikes is a failure, enacted to allegedly remove violent offenders from society; this law brought to life by a mentality of vengeance is but the result of sophisticated manipulation.
There is a combination of forces at work to further erode family, societal and state structures; to raise them to a level of all out fascism. The kidnap, savage rape, and murder of Polly Class by Richard Allen Davis are just one spectrum of what led to the policy's creation. The "1992 Riots" played a significant role due to the widespread chaos and destruction of Los Angeles. Once the anger spread, it reached cities in other states. The truth is the fear of an all out conscious uprising of America's semi-internal colonies brought fear to its highest levels of manipulative authority: the state, city, and federal government.
It's been ten years practically since the invention of this law. Take a look around your neighborhood, has crime increased or decreased? Read the sanitized media of newspapers and watch the television, has that changed much? The real crooks are the corporations who subconsciously convince millions of people in this land and the world that they care and they provide some service to the world community. Has not the landscape of this land steadily progressed to its current state of venomous capitalism? While many advocate three strikes for the oppressed nations of America, what about the corporate three strikes? We won't begin to make progress in this country until the real criminals are brought to socialist justice; our hypocrisy to say we're against crime, and not against it "in all forms."
So what has mandatory minimum's sentencing guidelines improved? These guidelines have improved the systematic attack on the occupation of America's semi-colonies right to life and liberty. If the wealth of any nation can be concentrated in the hands of a few, and denied the many, you can only have a system of unfair implementation. Currently, the president and his crew have formed an oligarchy, concentrating Capital and force to have a monopoly on wealth and influence. Monopoly capital controls America's affairs not democracy, liberty or anything else.
The media has proven to be a powerful tool, guiding the impressions and sentiments of the populace of this land. Media is also used to stereotype, degrade, and assault whole nationalities of people. This brings me to George Hegel who propagated a philosophy of (1) creating a problem or "convincing a significant portion of the population that there is a problem," (2) generating opposition to that problem, and finally (3) people would be ready for a phased solution to the supposed though actually created problem.
This is what has happened, and is happening to those inside U.S. prison camps. The generation that proceeded this one was hooked on crack and dope and the state not only provided the dope, but supposed help for the mothers and fathers to buy the dope they imported. How? Welfare in the 80's and 90's. Is it any wonder that three strikes came as the next phase? There are minds at work that have significant enough foresight to plan far into the distant future. These minds construct and continually revitalize what I call social, political, economic, genetic, spiritual, mental, and psychological weapons to keep America's semi-colonies in their place of master-servant relations based on historic oppression.
I write this from a prison cell (camp). They gave me 25 to life for vandalism. I've only had one prior arrest, but 2 charges: assault and alleged robbery. The tax payer will foot the $23,000-25,000 a year bill to house and feed me, basically lock me out of a promising future with my two daughters, two brothers, and three sisters.
California under the leadership of Governor Grey Davis accelerated occupation, militarization, and open fascism. The CCPOA has only been a monster using its statistics and lobbying with capital to pass draconian sentencing schemes to fill its warehouses. Crime and justice is not its sole motive, profit is. I tell you this from a position inside one of America's prison camps, where there can be found Prison Industrial Association (PIA) sweatshops. There is a whole host of predatory economic ploys, where prisoners are warehoused, exploited, and psychologically abused. We are denied cosmetics, clothes for warmth, solitude, education, or food that sustains a normal weight. We have to buy everything on top of the state receiving $23,000-25,000 a year to supposedly house us. The money is not spent on us. It's being funneled to others. We are also taxed an inmate welfare fund tax outside of government taxes. This tax is 10%. So they pocket that too, outside of buying balls, basketballs, racquetballs, and board games; not using the revenue as it is intended. I'm surprised that the CCPOA has gotten away thus far with its deception and political science tactics. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize Hegellian deceit at work.
Crime is sensationalized to the point of public outcry with over-dramatizations, sensationalisms and attacks on the U.S. population. A crime doesn't need to be made into a short 2 to 3 minute deceptive movie just to catch a perpetrator. Utilization of the airwaves in this fashion amounts to deceptive trickery to keep you looking for a monster of their creation and not the real life, blood-sucking monsters who steal daily, not only cash but minds and futures. Don't be fooled, America has over 2 million captives in these dungeons. I often characterize this as the American holocaust. Is a slow degenerative death less torturous than an immediate execution? In the event that I do survive and others who are serving these mandatory minimum sentences, what is the product that you or society will be sending back? Will it be better or worse?
I'll close this by saying George Orwell ("1984") was often asked if he could give a description of rights in or during the process of the new world order, what would it be like? He replied: the clearest picture I could give you would be a combat boot stomping a face. If your position is to assist the progression of change concerning these issues, join MIM in collective conscious struggle, because procrastination is the thief of time.
