Phony charges of gang affiliation in California SHU

IGI, the prison gang intelligence unit has just returned all my property. I was told I had a 115 hearing when they pulled me out of my cell. I was handcuffed and placed in a holding cage. In comes IGI to take photos of all my tattoos and take my property so they can go through it. I was told something happened in another prison and that I was being investigated in regards to that.

I have been in the SHU for 4 years now on one trumped up charge after another. They are trying to validate me now as an associate of a prison gang which I will not name. Every time I turn around it's something new. I'm teaching martial arts, I'm inciting, I'm this, I'm that. And I am guilty of these things, but with good reason. If the prison would stop trying to break inmates like slaves, respect prisoners rights to due process (they do not believe you have the right to contest the charges they bring against you or to appeal policies that deprive prisoners of legislated rights). If they would just do right follow their own regulations, I would be a model inmate.

But oh well, they can lock me up, gas me, play with my food, strip me of my property, mess with my mail, handcuff me and beat me and all the other repressive tactics they use. I have four words: can't stop won't stop. Until what is wrong has been set right.

I received the MIM Notes. From participating in the study group and reading MIM Theory I am really starting to grasp the science of revolutionary communism, it is a pretty straight forward process. Or should I say Marxism, Leninism, Maoism.

I know dialectical materialist theory of knowledge can be used to effectively change society or to address and resolve society's contradictions. I would like to learn more about this process. More than learn, I am trying to master this process.
