Essay: "Lost and Found"Strangely silent are the eaten. We mumble and groan amongst ourselves, but not too loudly. We have young punks with dim, inexperienced minds. Their hotheaded immaturity keeps all of us tied to the torture chair. These excitable, mindless brats prevent all the progress we experienced hands can make. Worse, these young fools' antics cause us all to suffer smaller cages, more crowding, worse food, fewer diversions, tighter bars, more steel mesh, and sharper razor wire farther from the public eye. Not one of these illiterate, self-centered pleasure-addicts has ever thought to ask the obvious questions, "Why do they hide what they are doing to us?" "Why don't they televise "public" executions?" "Why don't they show them torturing terrorists?" "Why don't they let us have cameras in prison?" Why? Because they want us to remain lost! Because if any of their antics got "found" by ordinary citizens, ordinary citizens' stomachs would start upchucking in unison, much as they do when their eyes are fed a steady, repetitive diet of murder, rape, and beatings. Here's a clue! Ever notice that we can see plenty of bloody corpses of crime victims on cop/TV shows, but not a single Iraq-attack corpse, not even a soldier? Can you deduce why? Don't bother--I'll tell you! It's because they're selling anti-crime and pro-war sentiment. Now switch it around in your mind: imagine what would happen if our self-muzzling media suddenly showed the exact opposite of what our govcrats ask of them. Corpses trundled out of death rows, US bullet-riddled corpses of Iraqi children and women, tortured-to-death and brains-blown-out "terrorists", prison pictures of suicides hanging from the grates, of toilet-sized cages stuffed with victims in rows for decades, of sexual deviates pretending to be women for cigarettes, coffee, food and dope, of captives strung up by manacles for casual torture so common that most of us don't even complain about it anymore. Showing this to ordinary citizens shows them how close they are to suffering our fate. Police, guards, prosecutors, judges and politicians do NOT want this seen by ordinary people because then ordinary people could rise up and shut it down! When Illinois Gov Ryan's death row was proven by DNA to be wrong half the time, the people forced him to shut it down! When Shapiro caught Fuhrman and Van Adder manufacturing evidence against OJ Simpson, they shut them down! When Stacey Koon and 8 others got taped torturing Rodney King, they shut them down! Whenever dirty deeds are dragged into the light, moral outrage erupts to shut it down! Our elected crooks can only operate as long as their dirty work remains lost in the darkness. This is why they control the media--to keep the dark working for them. Now look at you simpletons, your asses growing around those domino chairs, thinking that you'll just wait out your sentence. Do you actually think that you owe years off your lives for joyriding, vandalism, petty theft, touch-crime, drug-crime, and thought-crime? If you believe it, you make it true! If you're a worthless pleasure-addict with no higher aspiration than sucking a living off your betters, it needs to be true. Stop reading now and go mooch off someone who still feels sorry for you. But if you've got a brain, ambition, and some morals, get found! Think! Get a plan! Write it down! Send it out! Benefit someone! Start a movement! Raise moral questions! Propose solutions! Invent! Create! Synergize! The world is large, even in prison. Use your mind to fill it. Food makes you fat; stamps can make you free. Which do you want more? |
