The Maws of Moloch
“America means prison.” - Malcolm X
“My fime will be here for me to be released from this cage. But
the sad thing about the whole deal is the day | leave, this cage will
be fled ight back up.” - Lawrence Bell
This is an important point. Prison s @ human meat market - @ very
profitable, highly racist punishment industry that uses human beings
ot s raw material fo be explaited. The only “product” thisindusty
creates is human misery. Unlike many U.S. Corporations fhat use
sweafshop child labor from overseas, the punishment industry uses
‘domestic siave labor that it body snatches off the streets of
America’s ghettos and barros.
Like the whole system iself, it must be abolished and the slaves
must be set free. Slaves thist for and deserve liberationt
“Freedom" *Demacracy” “the free press" “liberty” are sick lies in
Amerika and, like everything else in this extreme capitalist society.
ore dependent on the amount of money you confrol and the color
of your skin. “Who do you know?" "Where do you five?"
Amerika doesn't want nor thinks it needs a iarge section of the
‘population - the poor peaple of all Colors - the darker the more
targetted. The rulers can and do use foreign labor at pitfance woge
levels and domesfic "illegals” for the drudgery work. Workers willing
1o be sufficiently brainwashed and assimilated info the industries are
Putinto wage-siave pasitions at various levels of pay.
I¥'s frue that a elatively high percentage of workers receive living
wages and even a comparatively high amount of money. This s the.
“frickie down" from stolen wealth inheritance, estabiishing a sort of
‘wage caste system, and the residue of the foct that per capito, the
US. usurps over six fimes i's share of the world's resources.

they accept the lies amidst a vocuous, death marching culture of
pomographic friteness! It's a fife of Big Brother bludgeoned fies!
The poorer the wrker s, the harder and more dangerous the
‘work becomes and the closer 1o homelessness - and prison - they
become.
The richer you are, the less real work you do. | don't consider
exploiting and manipulafing (coercing) people as wark. The more
money and power you wield, the more criminal and dangerous you
become. The fruly rich and powerful are beyond the laws their
lawyers and polificians have craffed for them.
They are free to mass murder workers and peasan's around the
globe, enjoy the best of everything, wallow in obscene decadence
and luxury, have every whim catered fo, stockpile astronomical
wealth, have thoroughly trained, unbelievably powerful and ruthiess
armies ot their beck and call with a bought and sold brainwash
press fawning ail over fhem incessantly.
It's Adolph Hifler's dreom come frue, embodied by the ungifted
vet thoroughly evil, George W. Bush.
We are sick of walking on eggshelis with our wards beseeching
these monsters fo be sighty less cruel and murderous here or there,
‘while they obliferate whole countries, destroy the infrastructure,
poison the environment and force the survivrs fo suffer through
endiess. gruesome - even sociefy-wide infanticide! - death.
IF's so insane, that mass siaughter and world domination are no
longer good enough for these enemies of us all. Now, they talk
matter-of-factly about and are planning nuciear anniilation of
certain countries who do not submit o fheirsatisfoction.
Implementing these “policies” will inexorably lead fo the
extermination of every living creature - great and smail - on Earth!
Remember who we are dealing with herel George Bush considers
el sharon - that hideous, collosal butcher for decades - as a *Man
of Peacel" This s Nixon / Kissinger at the height of murderous lunacy!
Sowe must realize that worid war is upon all of us already and
ground zero in ths slavocracy is thy nation's dungeons. As nafives of
Ameriko, it behooves us fo fight for freedom and fife in the belly of
the beast. For the world gets bombs and we get bars. We are ail

Prsoners are being used fo clean up hazardous waste materals, wihout
requiing stict health and safety standards of protective gear. Prisoners are
eing used to remove debisfrom drainage difches, which act as a release:
Valve for welwels, Cesspools. animal hoids. sewage systems, efc.
This pracfice biings prisoners into direct contact with disease causing agents.
dangerous chemicals and oer hazardous waste, such s herbicides.
pesticides, ferflizers. efc. Stinging insects are also present and swarm prsoners
as they inferrupt breeding grounds. These condiifions breed ciseases and may
spread potentially infectious diseases such as West Nile Virus, Yellow Fever and
many ofher viruses.
There are also concems about hepatifis, small pox and other such disease

We are forced 10 do this under gunpoint and fhreats of isolation puritive

‘even death senfenc.es. os If you refuse to get in woter or in on area where water
s being splashed. you could be shot for “frying fo escape.” Or you may bve
repeatedly assaulted by fellow inmates who may be required to work harder
because of your non-compliance.
And 50 your work may require that you please both the security agents and
their arbitrary prison work gang boss/prsoner, who wield direct control over your
life. | have repeatedly been disciplined and denied medical benefits for
epllepsy for affending their way of lfe - Southem im Crow civl ights abuse of
Ppeople of color a5 not being human, etc. Whites also receive the some ond in
some cases, worse freatment, as they are often prone to sexuol attacks from:
stronger prisoners for their non-complionce.
Matiresses are infected. never sterized. even with plasfic covers on them.
After many years of use, these matiresses ore infected with many prisoner's
body flids, germs, waste, efc.
Al prson agents who are swom 10 duty 10 uphold the law, refuse 1o toke
sufficient acts 10 stop these dangerous pracices. At tis unit, every agent
assigned 1o administrative segregation isolafion and thei supervisors. il he woy
up 1o pison director Lary Mors, have been nofified by legal acfions. They
hove sl faled o fake sufficient steps fo protect pdsoners,such as myself their
families and indeed, the American people.
Consider the programs in which the American govemment fargefs
“undesirables” withn his country. These inciude germ warfare, such as giving
biankes infected with smail pox fo Native American women and chidren.
Block males were injected with small pox and small pox was also placed n the
ventiation systems of prsons, efc.
Here of ths uni.the solation and admin seg. wing’s ventiation system s
infested with rafs, rodents and thekr iseased waste. Matedals which are
constantly blasted into the air are infected with rodent waste and ha.,
undemmiing its quaily. Chidren from schools rom fhis area come through here.

The prison autharites, the Department of Health. the F.8.. fhe State Police,

condifons. We are frying 1o bing an invesfigation and inifiate steps fo profect
these young Amesican cifizens (and ouselvesi) Evidence of these deplorable
‘condifons s available through the actual videotapes from the secuity
monitoring system.
Consider when a soldiers capfured by enemy forces and they infect him
with contagious diseases. He s then allowed 10 “escape” and retums fo his
fellow 1003, only 10 expose them 1o dsease. Prisoners. thei fomiies, chidren
and the communities they came from are thus ikewise. exposed 1o gemn

educated and do nof understand the forces that are at play here. | have
received death threafs and the constant harassment of prsoners who see my

Vhatever happaned 1n the past Lo not sevely history. That is to say, njustice
of today 1n dixeotly Telated to iajustice of yestertay. People vhe sre concerned for
Catmass and the appearance of fustice vill not be able to dissantle police corruption
and abuse of gublic trust, 1f they sssert to be neutral vhile looking the other vay.
Cleasly the challenge ia that 1f you stand neutral or deliberately iodiffereat becss
you have not parsenally been the reciplect of ajustice and abuse i the courts and
on the streets by the svem enforcers of the lav, then yuu have o valk in the
Tooteteps of pecale, Like syeels, vhers and to ion these things bppened. 3/
On dugust 11, 1981 4 vas Lllegally arrested by political polics and sccused of
killing police officer during an armed bask Tobbery. Pals evidence vas iavented
ank uned a4 Yuse againet s, caleuleted o Frovide o vrengful ceatietiss snd death
sentence, clesked vith mproper acts vith the state prosscutertal machinesy and
Tescurces to give it the sppessunce of propriety. The CreiMILty of every vitaess
Vho testified for the state is n questica,
Tha police mde intestional false reperts sbout vhes, wbers and hov 1 vas
captured, amng other thisgs, to ke the chargve against he sound plansidle. The
autopay zeport sbout the cxuse of death of the jolice officer vas falsified in
relation to the ballistic test-firing of the vesgons.
Tvo hund-guas, & .38 and ., vere planted by jolice and jrvsested to the sli—
Vhite jury sa incrinineting evidence, vhich nislesd and influenced the decision of
the octaion saking body to vhich 5t vas addressed. Prosscuters claimed the oL vas
the muster veapes. Demnald KeDuffle Sr., & vell known Jow-shsk, testified be sold
e & -l platol. Tha .38 vas traced back b the Gaxy police dapartaeat by B.A.
(Buresn of Alcobsl, Tobacce and Fireasss) sgunts.
On Yag 25, 1992 1 vas santanced to the panalty of death. After years of contest-
ing the bogus charges, the death seatence vas reversed by the Intiane Suprems Coust
in 1993, But after o second trial on the seatence caly, £t vas Fut o Ge again in 1996.
My case doos ot Lavelve D.N.A. testing. Thare vas & reascnable likelthood that
the knoving vae of adaitted perjured tastieoay, tainted evidemce, and police aiscomiuct

BRUTALITY IS UGLY
IN THE WORLD WE LIVE IN
IT 15 NOT ACCEPTABLE TO BE BEATEN
FOR NOTHING.
FOR BEING A HUMAN BEING,
THE PEOPLE WITH THE POWER ARE DOGGING PEOPLE
FOR NOTHING.
NOW THAT'S UGLY.
YOU SEE THE TIME I NEAR
WHEN PEOPLE'S BACKS ARE AGAINST THE WALL.
50 WE GOT 70 BE TALL
AND BRING THIS MADNESS TO A HALT.
MANY LESSONS MUST BE TAUGHT
FOR THE FUTURE IS HERE.
WE HAVE TO WANT BEAUTY IN OUR LIVES.
BEAUTY ... THAT IS THE GREAT ESCAPE TO THE FUTURE.
FOR ALL THE PEOPLE TO TRY TO BE HAPPY.
THAT MEANS UNDER STANDING LIFE'S UPS AND DOWNS.
IT'S REALLY MUSIC WE HAVE DEEN IN...
A CERTAIN FRAME OF UNDERSTANDING...
NOW IT 'S TIME FOR A DIFFERENT KEY T0 B
AND BRUTALITY IS NOWHERE IN THERE.
