Law & Disorder Conference

May 9 - 11, Portland, Oregon
Presentation By Anthony Rayson & 'Rads
INTRODUCTION

Here's a collection of statements and articles Io or for the conference,
written by myself and several prisoners. Also included are some letters.
Prisoncrs are human beings who think and fecl just like we do. Many have
‘mastered the age-old crat of letcr writing. Paper and print, typed or
hand-written, is the very lifeblood of personal and intellectual
communication. Ifs one mind 1o another, talking very for real.

More and more people are free from the intellectual stupor the
‘government expects us to be timidly self-policed into. We all know they
are nothing but liars and killers. More scek real truth and have a sensc of
urgency, seeing as their young lifc - and its unhindered flowering - is
threatened from every anglel Examples abound of people standing up to
this voracious regime, and more happen every day.

People have an extraordinary opportunity o spread mutual aid and
solidarity and free school education in a non-coercive, anti-authoritarian
way - and it really helps deal with whatever the project happens to be.

Prisoners can't undo their past activity. They may not be guilty of the
specific crime they were convicted (forced plea bargains, if poor) of, but
like everybody else, more likely than not, led a self-centered and rather
unconscious lifestyle. But they ca come 10 a sort of epiphany, and begin
the regeneration of their mind, body & soul. I call it ‘gaining
consciousness- I's a watershed point, where you atiain an unquenchable
resolve 1o learn as much as you can and live as much as you can and share
‘what you know to as many people as you can.

This doesn't mean all a persons bad habits disappear. Far from it 1f
‘addicted, still addicted. Self-destructive behavior is & complicated problem
that takes a lot of effort to positively modify. But, with the love and support
of others, both inside & ou, t becomes a 800d goal o strive for everyday,
as you are daily learning many things about yourself and the world. We've
0110 get 10 8 point, where writing a leter 1o a prisoner Sister or Brother is
as common s fexting something fo somebody. People have a lot of
catching up 1o do. Luckily, conscious prisoners arc there fo hip them.

Solidarity, Mutual Aid & Respect
By, Anthony Rayson 4

Everyone always talks about how important “education” is for
personal and communal growth. People have phenomenal minds, but
need careful attention, education and love to have a chance at
flowering as conscious, humanist people, with the self-realized ability
to delve deeply into their interests and to develop their talents, The
goal is to live a thrilling lfe of discovery while being a positive force
for the community.

This is next to impossible in this highly propagandized (with endless
lies & government-directed violence glorying, saturated by the
commercial morass of hyper-capitalism.) It's a thick nolse of confusion,
nonsense and escapes from a “reality” that frankly, deliberately avoids
golng anywhere near the real truth.

‘The government has huge buildings and many people working to
keep a lid on their vast, global criminality. When exposed by people
like Chelsea Manning, Eric Snowden and Jeremy Hammond, its not the
massive crimes they ve uncovered which is demonized, but rather, the
‘whistle-blowers with the courage to publish the govemment's own
proof of their organized evil.

So, many people succumb to depression, resignation and a sort of
bitterness about lfe itself, and lead truncated, uneducated lives, often
subject to abuse from other people and authoritarian institutions, such
as schools, miserable workplaces, religious outfits, the military and the
vast prison system. Kids are “supervised" and drumbeat like dogs
trained for show. No wonder so many come careening out of
adolescence, like a hell-bound train, set up for disaster, lengthy
incarceration or some form of frustrating accommodation.

s scary to not know why things are as they are and see people
vaguely challenging authority get beat down and dragged off. Notice,
that didnt happen to the Tea Party, just occupation. The reason is
because occupation insisted on being “leaderless.”

‘The government is in charge of education, or a church or a
company. They don't want peaple to know how to think, because once
they do, they realize the enormity of the problem and are more likely
to transcend the “fear line” and think and do in a positive, pro-active
and creative way, which will spread like a free-thinking cancerl To
them, slaves only need to know how to do whatever it is that feeds the
profit-system. If people leam to think and live "off the grid" their sick,
death machine loses its grip. (U also why they are so harsh in their
genocidal repressions - they dont want examples of real, functioning
altemative living arrangements - anywhere in the world!

Portland; Oregon; May 9 - 11, 2014
“We had to destroy the village to save t.” Vietnam never really
ended. They just keep destroying other parts of the globe. It's a
holocaust situation with mass incarceration the norm at home and s
endless war for the rest of the world.

‘The rapid degradation of Earth herself, should be enough to spur
people to get of the dime and stop this thing! Opposition to the U.S.
government is our over-riding task and there are many ways to battle.
But the problem of education (or lack of it) is a constant hindrance.
1ts basically a precondition for sound and sane political, social and
economic action.

And, aithough many people have developed their various coping
mechanisms and shields against the very thing they need the most
(applicable understanding that taps into their innate humanity)
thinkers and writers and artists and philosophers have provided
‘mentoring and examples of genuinely Lived lives.

There are many ways to look at things, but for me, personally, the
most useful and lucid are basic anarchist principles. Mutual aid,
solidarity, prison abolition, voluntary association, free schooling,
consensus decision-making, equality, freedom and liberty, are useful
concepts while trying to figure out how to understand this complex
mess and comport yourself.

Since | fancy myself a writer, | focus a lot of my time and energy
writing and collaborating with other worthy writers. This has evolved
into a serious, anarchist-driven free school educational project. Great
mentors, such as Malcolm X and Paulo Friere and Leo Tolstoi and Lucy
Parsons, and many others, have insisted that real education must
spring forth from society's most oppressed. They literally live in the
“belly of the beast!"

This means in today's world, the 2.4 million prisoners! Tens of
millions are on probation or parole. These are the people who
understand the true face of America and the strongest among them,
have the most courage and insight. This is where the narrative of
today’s reality s written and illustrated - even though they are locked
down, shackled and deprived of almost all forms of expression and
communication. These are the people, those who have experienced
their epiphany and long to set to work, should get to know on a
personal and working basis.

Remember when Saddam Hussein freed the prisoners shortly before
Bush-Cheney let loose the dogs of “Shock and Awe" mass warfare and
brutal occupation, in 20032 Secretary of State, Colin Powell, said it
was a “political move.” Damn right, it was! Those released prisoners
formed the backbone of the resistance to U.S. occupation and most
probably paid with their lives...
S0, real education is the “brutal truth pouring out of the prisons!
OK, 50 how do we deal with it? Well, like everything else, it mostly
takes self-direction - resolve! Research the subject and connect with
people doing such work. Accumulate various publications focusing on
the prisons, especially by those who specialize in collaborating with
and publishing the work of prisoners. Ask questions. Write letters.
Decide how you want to involve yourself. And then begin to do it.
Inertia is perhaps the biggest obstacle to getting started.

You know, when social protest was at its strongest in the late ‘60’ -
early 705, the prisoner support movement was at its peak.
Domestically, it was then and most certainly i today, ground zero in
the struggle, here at home. The whole of government is headed
towards being one gigantic surveillance state.

Alot of things are happening in a rapidly changing situation,
throughout the gulag archipelago and throughout society on the “outs.”
We need to lean the latest from those fighting on the front lines.
Hunger strikes are spreading all over the country. Analysis, research
and testimony about the perfidy of government is constantly being
written and articulated through poetry and artwork. There's a huge
need for help getting this work published and back into the hands of
activists and prisoners, family members and other oppressed people in
the ‘hoods, barrios and reservations. Young people yearn to learn the
truthl It easier to get into the prisons to talk to inmates than it s to
address high school students! When it comes down to it, everybody
wants to be told the truth.

Mail i read and censored coming and going to prison, but that
shouldn't stop you from corresponding and working on zines and getting
them back into the prisons. Their one big rule is publications must
come from a publisher. OK, just become a publisher. Think up a name
2nd get a P.O. Box. Get a stamp from Office Max or something to
stamp the return address on the envelop and the last page of the zine.
Bam! Youre a “publisher.”

Deal with issues of immediate importance to those being menaced
the most. Keep the writing clear and easily understandable. You tearn
as you go. Don't feel it inappropriate to ask assistance from prisoners.
Youll be surprised at how accepting they are and how honest they are.
They are in prison and are being subjected to torture on a daly basis.
They need our help, like no other time in their lives. Be consistent and
reliable. Give your best effort all the time, each & every day.

There's a lot of “tricks to the trade" on how to make zines and how
to run a zine distro. You want to maximize your space on the paper,
but still make the publication easy to read and interesting. You need
to be resourceful and seek opportunities for printing and accumulating
books, magazines, zines, paper, ink and other supplies.

This type of free school education medium (zines) is also very useful
in any localized grassroots efforts you may be involved with. fve even
put newspapers together, sometimes with serious anarchist content -
that the conservative family farming community newspaper chain
published for me! Simple, cut & paste "technology” can and is used by
prisoners to craft their own zines, in their cells. Instead of glue, theyll
use toothpaste. You don't have to rely upon a computer or digitalized
graphics. Prisoners will hand draw you artwork that copies beautifully!

These relationships you forge with certain prisoners may prove the
‘most important in your life. You will receive an unbelievably varied
and detailed education, as you involve yourself in the day-to-day
dealings with people, most of whom, you will never even meet. Even
if you visit them, you may only get to skype with them from a few
hundred feet away. But, it is a close relationship from one mind to the
other. This is activism, where there s no doubt as to its effectiveness.
Prisoners have no qualms about expressing their gratitude and
appreciation for helping them see things more clearly.

1 had involved myself in many projects, demnstrations, grassroots
fights, and | still do, but | could never tell if what | was doing really
'had any meaningful or sustained effect, until | began this distro and
focused on the brilliant writers and artists in the prisons. s often
difficult to find people to work with, who are on the same page as you.
‘The results, the satisfaction of a job well done, the thrill of the
creative process, just didn't seem to happen, as you would hope.

Being a pro-active conduit for powerfully written and otherwise
‘expressed information and literature is a really affirming activity.
People learn valuable lessons from others and their example and by the
process of collaboration. Each one, teach one is how we phrase it. We
hear it all the time. Become the media. It's got to be from the ground
up. Well, this is from the sub-basement of the underground upl As we
‘work shoulder-to-shoulder with those under the boot heel of our
common oppressors, we are accepted as a comrade. We have
blossomed into our true selves. Our actions are at the command of our
own sense of morality, and nothing else, which makes it both the most
authentic and the most important to us - and those we have
deliberately reached out to in the spirit of solidarity and mutual aid.

‘The barriers of concertina wire, gun-wielding guards in towers, and
fear-mongering that the government uses to keep us away from our
locked up Sisters and Brothers has to be overcome. They are in there
for us, reporting in the very teeth of brutality, so we'e got to be out
here for them. One day, many of us will scramble, from behind a cell,
trying to contact someone who knows what needs to be done.

Thank you for your attention. Now, Il let the prisoners speak!

Revolutionary Visions Wide Opened
By Kalfani Malik Khaldun

“The struggles here in Amerika o th 1960s and 19705 sparked the ise of
courageous freedom ghters, who ad unique view of selfdetermination which
compelld these buldleaders o sarifce thei money,time, and ultimately thelr
lives 0.3id the cause. That Guse was energized by a revolutonary vision ofchange
for sl appressed poor people n this country. These men and women were miltant
tothe orer, et lovingly warm-hearted o their famlie and children.

‘We must never forget the efforts made to highlight and expose institutional
racism. poverty, and violence carried out by the poice on the Black communiies
‘They did a lot to educate the masses on capitalism, imperialism, and they fought
against all systems that promote inequalites.

Comrades like Sundiata Acoli, Mutulu Shakur, Eddic Conway, Mumia Abu-
Jamal,Jalil Muntaquin, and 50 many others are currently prisoners of war asa direct
Fesultof their partcipation in the cause for the liberation of Black people in
Amerika. They are among so many others who had the courage to go up against this
viclous system. . Edgar Hoover, then head of the FBI with the power of the office he
led, launched his very sient-secret war against the Civil Rights Movement and Black
Liberation Movement.His agentsinfltrated the organizations they fet posed

itellgence program, was created f target, identify and kill o imprison
revolutionary eaders. Now many of our comrades who they didn't outright murder
have spent decades in prison. These men and women, now inthelr lte 505 to
iniddle 605, are modelprisoners educating prisoners and advocating on behalf of
those volceless souls who don't know how (0 speak for themeselves. Their friends
and supporters and families on the outside continue to campaign and petition the
courts o their release. The Prison Parole Boards simply function as an extension of
the courts that play ts role n influencing the denial of parol releases. There are no
Americans who don't know the horrors of what has happened o thei people from

DEAR ANTHONYI
Rebel greetings! It's Jeremy. I know it's been a while since
1 wrote ya. It's been hectic over here. I've been in & out of
the box a few times & doing what I can to agitate & organize.
Aot has happened, right? You probably heard my brother
Jason was arrested for some anti-racist work. He is out on
bail, now. T

T've been receiving these pamphlets from NYC ABC and
Denver ABC, they put out often, which has really good updates
on people’s cases (including mine.) It also talks about Migs a
lot, raising trouble as usual, but I think he's going home soon,
right? The Call and Guantanamo hunger strikes were all over
the news, as well. We did a few small actions over here, during
the Zimmerman verdict & twice we refused chow, which got
the staff really upset.

They moved me to another floor the last time I got out of
the box, and have aiready taken everything from me (phone,
visits, commissary) so I got nothing to lose! I mostly been
working hard on my case; you may know I am being sentenced
on November 15th, so this is the most crucial month for me.

1 am writing various statements for the website, giving a
few media Interviews & of course, preparing legal arguments
for a sentencing statement & memorandum. I'm expecting to
get maxed out at 10 years, 5o I plan on giving a good speech! I
was going to ask you, if you were interested, in writing a letter
of support - my lawyers are getting various lawyers, professors
& activists to write letters to be included in our sentencing
papers - essentially appealing for leniency, saying it was
of clvil disobedience, and not criminality. If you are able &
willing, I'd greatly appreciate it. I'm including a letter for more
info.

act

So what else is up? How goes the retirement? They still
planning on that CCA prison in Joliet? Did you hear Eric
Holder's statement on the need to reduce overcrowding in
federal prisons & to do away with mandatory minimum
sentences? What a jokel No changes to the law were actually
made. He is just "advising” his DA's to not pursue drug
amounts in "lesser criminals.” The problem is the power is still
in the hanas of the DA to decide charges & whether to trigger
those minimums. We are not fooled.

ANYWAYS, I hope you are doing well & that all your projects
are successful & effective.
Yours 4 the revolution! Jeremy @
AFTER HIS SENTENCING...

1S

Dear Anthony,

How goes it, comrade? I hope all is well with you. Hey,
thanks for writing a letter of support for the judge. You
probably heard, she maxed me out anyways. What do you
expect though? At least all the liberals with high hopes of
leniency were crushed & hopefully lost the faith.

WELL, what else is up? Yes I heard Migs is out. Well, that's
good. T know some people don't like him, whatever, & a lot of
people don't like me either! I've been hearing about the others
who were going to trial, and the full hypocrisy of the state is
being broadcast. No wonder they want to limit who can bear
witness!

WELL, that's hard to hear your wife's health. I wish you
both the best of heaith & revolutionary spirits. Sucks about the
reduced income. It would be a real shame if you have to cut
back on operations. SO YEAH, I've been transferred to prison -
a medium security joint in Manchester, Kentucky. Seems
alright, standard issue federal prison.

Hey, can you send me a copy of ART ATTACK and
ANARCHISM and the BLACK REVOLUTION?? Someone else here
apparently had been corresponding with you in the past, not
surprised, you are known in most prisons, likely!

WELL COMRADE, I'm gonna split for now!

Stay strong! YOURS 4 THE REV,
IJEREMY@

p-s. There is a really down Brother here who wrote several
books & is looking for a publisher. I gave him your info & some
zines, so he may get a hold of you!

Dear Anthony: It

Greetings, Brother. | am finally able to write you again. haven't heard from
you since your last letter about two months ago about the attempt to put
together a_fund raising effort to help me obtain a criminal lawyer in light of
my new witness coming forward with helpful evidence. | suggest maybe
contacting some Chicago or Indianapolis car clubs by seeking them out on
Facebook or the intemet. Clubs like “owered Horizons™ in Indianapolis. | went
to high school with Devin Bellamy (sp?), and you might be able to talk these
clubs into doing a car show to raise money for my cause. Could you try to do.
this?

In other news, | will be getting transferred to a medium security prison
soan where | will have more freedom. Since | have escaped the liars and
abusing pigs in the segregation units, | am mysteriously (said with sarcasm) 17
months clear of any disciplinary charge or conviction. | was never a problem.
Those pigs would just lie and write me up on false charges In order to conceal
their physical abuse, to retaliate against me for my legal endeavors, or
because of my anarchist beliefs and writings. | have also been restored 50% of
deprived credit time from past disciplinary convictions as well. My out date as
of now is 6-1- 15.

However, in April 2014 | plan on having this reduced around the end of
December, 2014. But Anthony, that's not good enough. | need an attomey to
help exonerate myself and use my wrongful conviction to expose these
arbitrary and prejudiced judges and prosecutors. | want to ruin them and
draw into question everything they do. Ive done all | can. | need a lawyer. It
tumns out the prosecutor withheld criminal records from 2 of thelr witnesses
against me that | could have used to attack their credibility. | have their
public records information in my possession!

Tmsending out a letter to the Aspen Institute in Washington, DC, requesting
530,000 award or grant to conduct research on the Issue of prisoners like
mysel trying to raise money for legal purposes (criminal and civil). | want to
wite a report and book on the subject to help others gain insight and help on
what goes on in prison, etc. What are the concerns of donors, Why they might
donate. What are their prejudices if any. Effective advertising and mailing
campaigns. Things lke this.

Can you contact them on my behalf and have them send me any.
applications or assistance needed to obtain these funds for research? Their
email address is: www.aspeninstitute.org All they can do Is say no.

1 have big plans, bro, but | can't do nothing on here. |
‘m Just wasting way for nothing. Tm 35 now. Il be 36 in June. Ive been
locked up on this bullshit arson case (where no one died or got hurt and a first-

Greetings, Ant

This is just a quick note to let you know I'm finally out of
N.K.5.P. and now in Corcoran SHU, on the validated yard. Ive been
here a little over a month now, but just got out of the infirmary
(hospital part of the prison) cause it seems my platelet count had
gotten kind of low. Hopefully, that was the last hunger strike we
have to do in these gulags. 17

Here at CSP-COR, we can have everything now, in our packages
as clothes, shoes, tumbler & bowl, goes. One picture a year and
art supplies after a year if you'e disciplinary free. We can also
have two appliances now, T.V. & radio and Im assuming we can take
correspondence courses in the SHU, 50 | put in a request to talk to
the lady over at the education department.

1 completed my paralegal course study, and as soon as they give
me my property, Fll wrap up my advanced paralegal course study
and have two certificates. It does feel good being able to
accomplish those things while being buried alive in these concrete
tombs. Corcoran doesn't seem to want to hinder us New Afrikan
\iterature, and my neighbor gets books sent in and zines from you
aswell.

So, hopefully, we can work together finally on a few projects.
fm in touch with Lorenzo Komboa Esvin and working with him on
the BAPF and once | get my property, | have a few guys right here in
my section to study with...

Over here in 1R in B Section, where m at, we're (ALl New
Afrikans) are on the bottom tier, but everybody doesn't go to the
yard. My neighbor and his neighbor go, and another New Afrikan
over In C-Section goes with us and we try and exercise discretely,
but you can get a point that will be used to keep you validated
cause they call that "gang participation.” They just did it to some
white dudes a week ago. Corcoran is slick, but you have to be
smarter than the oppressor.

OKAnt! 1 don't want to keep you any longer than | have to. |
hope to hear from you, soon. Take care, and the family as well.

LAW and DISORDER
by, Richara Henry g

Law results in disorder because those permitted to be
“lawmakers", and the judges who interpret what laws mean to s
their own nefarious goals having no ‘lawful' authority to do so, are
not held fully accountable for their own acts. Their arrogant deeds
are Crimes Against Humanity, Treason Against the People of the
United States, and violations of the express literal rights guaranteed
by that Constitution, which these officals have dishonorably sworn to
uphold.

Indeed, any reinterpretation or modification completely removed
any franchise to govern. No one ever approved being "governed" by
anything else, now did they? To get the now long dead population of
1789 to approve this Constitution, the Federalist Papers made
promises which proved to be lies.

Itis bad enough people reading this elected dishonorable scum.
You re-elect them! Any official dishonorably committing the acts
described must be tried; sentenced to punishment many times more
severe than others because these degencrates knew better when they
lied, cheated, stole, and betrayed their oaths; and have their
sentences executed with the same mercy they showed no one. Grant
the same appellate relief this filth forever damned by God granted all
those who didn't bribe them.

End the tyranny! ummnmm::m-umwwu
democracy. Then, representatives can only suggest legislation. Since
they can enact nothing, the corruption and graft disappears. Two
‘votes a year are enough, with a maximum of only eight possible laws
being enacted by the People - (Isn't that Democracy?) - each vote.

Let's hope few of the eight are approved, because America already
has more laws regulating human conduct than all communist and
nazi governments had combined! Freedom means not being subject
10 a dictatorship of greedy degenerates elected to be tyrants over you
for two, four or six years.

Any infraction committed - ANY - should be punished with the
same mercy and injustice they themselves showed the 2.3 million
Americans they murdered. They are the criminals!

To get tough on crime, start with them.

Needed are tribunals in every state, and for the federal system.
‘These have unequivocal authority, to punish any President,
Governor, legislator, judge, prosecutor or public defender, who
violates any Constitutional provision guaranteed in 1789, ar by
subsequent Amendment. That document is the only approval We the
People ever gave anyone to tell us what to do. No Thomas Jefferson
or George Washington has been evident since!

No franchise to govern or represent you remained the moment
these subsequent criminals committed their heinous crimes against
their own peopl

First and foremost, | come to you with the utmost respect for your
dedication and commitment to the cause. And, | appreciate what you are
doing with the ABC - South Chicago Zine Distro. More or less, my name is
OTagwyn Brown (most call me "Gunz’). I'm 22 years old and am being
boused in North Branch Correction Facility, in Cumberland, Maryland.

1 received your catalog and some of your zines from a fellow that is a part
‘of the same street organization (Damu) as me. And a few things have peaked
my interest as | fipped through. Since I have been incarcerated, | have done
nothing but read and study. I feel as though I have been awakened and for
the first time in my young life | can see clearly.

Tknow what has been done to my ancestors and what our position once
was on a world scale. [ know what has happened and what continues to
happen to us in America to “ensure® that we do not rise up and challenge the
‘conditions we are forced to live in. And for once in my life, 1 know who the
‘enemy is. It is the same enemy of my ancestors, just a lot more crafty from
learning from his mistakes.

1 have read and continue to study George's books, Franz Fanon's,
Wretched of the Earth, early books and histories on the Panthers and other
Iato 80' / eartly 70's rovolutionary movements, and I choose to dedicate my
ife to the struggle.

1 feel as though my personality, mindset and willingness to commit and
sacrifice for the betterment of the People Is the epitome of a revolutionary
and urban guerrilla.

1 know what must be dooe. 1 know historically there has never been
major shift in power in an area or land without violence, but obviously this

to be a collective effort. Because, we're fighting from a position of
weakness!

‘The catalog | have is one from 2011 and many zines caught my eye, but
there is a few I wish to request. If possible, | would like to be sent the rines:
Cop Watch: A Handbook for Citizen Monitoring of the Police - or any zines

ling with what police can or cannot do in the communities and ways to
d police harassment and illegally beis
the zines: Rogazine, a New Collective Starts in North Platte, Nebraska, by
Jeremiah Vansice and Kill Yourself ve. Unite and Liberate Yourself: USS.
Policy on Gangs, by Kevin "Rashid" Johnson or any zines dealing with street
organizations uniting to face a common enomy. Thero are many zines | wish
to request but feol uncomfortable doing so without sending stamps.

But, you have my word (for what it's worth) that in the near future, |
be. Because many things caught my attention in the catalog dealing with the
New Afrikan Black Panther Party, the Revolutionary Action Movement. the
Black Liberation Army, etc. So, you will be hearing from me often...
Hopefully, this missive reaches you in the best of spirits and health and that
you are ablo to respond swiftly. | leave you with my salute!

Dear Frends of Portand, 2y

1 intend 1o keep this letter as short as possible although many volumes of thousands of
napters could be dedicated to the problems Wit 3 sngie pison, Much less, an entre
state penal system.

T have selected three problems wthin the South Carolina Department of Corections, to
share. These problems are within the prison system sel, not paroe Issues or law I5sues.

3:Man Cels

1 cumently ive 1n & three-man-cel. 1 have a natura e sentence and one of my
roommates Goes, as well. The other roommate has 35 years.

"y imagine iing In your bathroom. Were your bathtub i, would be a stack of three
bunks. Now, ry to imagine having to be ready % go to work when the door is unlocked.
A8 of this ha t be taken care of while working around two other man that ae trying to
o the same thing: brush your teeth, washing your face, getting dressed, gathering all of
the things you need for the course of your day, et.

“Ths s Just @ tiny glimpse into my everyday ife. Any reasonable person could see how
problems could arie in the situation that s the start o everyday of my ie.

Poson Indusiry Wages

1 worked in transmission piant dissembling valve bodies for two weeks. The
Condiions were harsh (na heat or ai) and the work Is Rard. All day you work I grease
nd chemicals

I ook the Job wih hopes that I could make a itle moniey to alow me Ko not ask 0
much ofmy family. That tumed out to be a aise hope. 1 St have my pay Stub for two
weeks of hard abor. | worked $4.22 hours and recolved $9.76. The clothes 1 ruined and
<539 to keep mysell cloan during this time cost me more than that. The actual amount |
s working for was §0.40 per Rour from the work 1 accomplished In 54 hours. 1 Included
my pay stub f anyone Is inerested in witnessing modem-day slavery.

Excessive Punshment

It s impossibe to expiain prison to Someone thal's never been there. There are things
You leam and situations you are forced into that willget you Into trouble.

11 have 2 beef with someane, Td rather get caught by the officrs fo haviog a knife
rather than being caught by the man I'm beefing with, without one. Trouble wil pass but
e fragle and has to be protected fercely.

Some peopie have no outside help and are at the mercy of what the tate provides
tnem, which leads t husting. Husting can be anything from washing clothes 1o seling
‘arugs..All ofthe hustles you can have in prison are punishable by the prison system.

‘Once again, these are Just two examples giving You a small taste of the trouble that
constantly surrounds me. When you get Into roubie you are punished by the 1ss of
Visiation, conteen, and phone. And some charges will land you In the roughest dorms
where the trouble is even more consuming.

e are guys who have lost these privieges fo ten and tweive years.
Institutionaltzad s il they can be. They aren' afowed tn See or hear their family's volces
for years, So what do they do? Get a cell phone and call home, which wi gve them.
‘another year o los of privlleges, If they're caught. I'm sure you can see the pattern.

T understand that prison (s socety's way of punishing ts criminals. What I dont
understand is how society can expect a man or woman to move on after being put through
hese conditions, while paying thel Geb to sociey. Prison s ke Harvard for criminals.
You come out with 2 doctoratein crime and a masters in vickence and mayher.

Tim sure that 1 speak fo the millons of men and women behind the concerting wire
when 1 say that we uly appreciate people Ik yourseies that are nterested and wiling

‘NATO 3' members receive lengthy prison
sentences

A federal judge on sentenced three activists to pison terms Y6
ranging from five t2 eight years for theirpart in foiled plot ahead o the 2012 NATO
onference in Chicago that had been branded as an act of terroism by the prosecution.

The so-called "NATO 3* — Brian Church, Jared Chase and Brent Betterly — were originally
accused of providing material support forterrorism and conspiacy 1o commit terorism after
undercover police oficers inftrated theirgroup and arested the men shortly before the May
2012 summit n the Windy City. then said they plotied to set i to local buildings using
homemade Molotov cocktais.

A thre were acquitted of the terorism charges in February, but were found guily of two

much lesser mob action charges and one count each for possessing an incendiary device to
commit arson.

‘The men each foced a maximum sentence of three decades behind bars during Friday’s trial,
and the prosecution had urged the court 1o put them away for a minimum of 14 years. After
defense attomey: failed 1o have the case e-tried o thrown-out ealy Friday, Judge Thaddeus
Wilson announced his punishment ust before 3 pm.local time.

Church was sentenced to 5 years, Chase 10 8 years and Bettery to 6, according o a Chicago
Tribune dispatch published moments afte Friday’s hearing concluded.

According to Tibune reporter Steve Schmadeke. 2 lawyer for one of the man accused the
prosecution during Fridaystrialoffailing 1o give up their fauly terrorism case leading up to
this week' sentencing despite February's acquittals

Prosecutors attorey Thomas Anthony Durkin sad, were trying to “salvoge lousy rotten case”
with stif prison sentences, Schmadike reported.

They stll don't get thot the whole worid i loughing at them Durkin — Chase's attomey —told
Judge Wilson, according to the Tribune.

Federalprosecutors also argued at trial that the men displayed “defiant refusal to toke:
responsibilty for their conduct” Their alleged part n the plot has been questioned at length by
onlookers of the case throughout the ordeal, however,due 1o allegations of entrapment that
have been made because of the fole that undercover police offices played in coercing the men
10 plot the filed attacks In February.the Tribune reported that one of the offcers was the frst
10 5uggest the men consider making Molotovs, and even offered his clothing as a makeshift
wick during construction of the crude explosives.

“We weren serious about what we said,” Beterly said Frday, according t0. local NBC affifate.
“They were just words. Because ofthose tronsgressions, I've losttwo years of my fe"

“Tm not a perfect person. the afiiate quoted Church s saying. “and lik other human beings.
Ive made mistakes”

Church, Chase and Betterty have slready spent 709 days each in custody, and wil be credited
hat a5 time served. Witnesses a Friday's hearing reported that the defense called a doctor to
the stand, who in turn estified that Chase has Huntington's disease — rare neurological
disorder — and could need nursing home care in jus five years time,

A demanstration has been planned by supporters of the actvsts for 4 p.m. on Saturday.

EDUCATE TO LIBERATE:
RAISE THE CONSCIOUSNESS s3
By, Ali Khalid Abdullah

“Taxpayers, who have a sizable chunk of their wage-slave
earnings extorted by the counties, the states, and federal
government, are forced to pay for the ill-treatment that is meted
out to prisoners. It is a criminal justice system, run by trained
criminals!”~ Anthony Rayson

Ali Khalid Abdullah's: Letter From Inside
the Burlington County Jail

Sitting inside the Burlington County Jail, in Mount Holly, New
Jersey, there is an atmosphere of systemic indifference and
humanitarian disregard for those housed within its walls.

Abuse, arrogance, open violations of the law means nothing
because within the walls of the jail there is a strict enforcement of
being able to silence someone who dares seek to verbally protest
the state and federal constitutional violations that abound.

Itis because of this in-built culture of abuse that things continue
to take place in the jail that are fundamentally wrong. That and a
strange mix of perverting the mindset of the inmates to passively
accept their condition like sheep lead to the slaughter. ina
stranger twist, you have inmates identifying with their captors so
deeply that they have come to believe that the treatment they
receive, such as cold food, mold in the shower, the failure to be
given a grievance without having to beg for one, and / or explain
the entire reason for wanting one, not being given a copy of their
grievance or its findings (which violates the 14th Amendment's.
"Due Process™ procedures) and more, is acceptable.

However, | refuse o lay down and allow my humanity to be taken
by the state or stooges of the state. | refuse to encourage my
captors to deny my humanity and civil rights. 1 refuse o lay down
and allow the centuries of sufferings, lynchings and the brutal
animalistic beatings of my ancestors to be forgotten on the fact
that “they” endured all of these humiliations and cruelties because
they wanted to see a better tomorrow for their children,
grandchildren, great grandchildren, great-great grandchildren - on
down to the very end of time.
Tolay down and give up nos sy
To lay down and accept this inhumanity...
Tolay down and rejoice the mastah's whip of abuse...
To lay down and smile at the hideous face of social discord...
Tolay down and fraternize with the atrocities that abound
in a culture of indifference, is to surrender all that my
aneestors have gone through, and in so doing, negate the
sacrifices they've made would be unconscionable to me.

1 am not attempting to paint a false picture as to suggest that
1 am some saint, or have no flaws, or haven't done an act that
is considered a violation of the social code ( and even this
standard of social code must be re-examined based on the fact
that it was the established wealthy elite who developed these
so-called 'social codes' or 'laws', if you will)... but 1 am saying
that regardiess of the matter, I do not deserve to be ill-treated,
not to mention that I haven't even been found "guilty” of
anything, and even if guilty, I deserve to right to be humanely
treated.

Thus, if need be, I will languish and endure these
abominations, and fight tooth 'n nail with my rebellious spirit,
and with my words like a sword's edge, until the depth of nay
words seeps through the crowded streets of movement and
reach into the eyes, ears and minds of a people willing to hear
alowly voice within a concrete wilderness... a wilderness
embedded with all types of traps and surprises that are
designed to stamp out the positive nature of the human spirit.
Atsome point in a man's life he must look inside himself and
declare that enough is enough. That he can no longer carry the
burden of ignorance and folly and make the change for social
justice - even though he may be a crook.

THEREFORE, I have an obligation to wage war against the
gross injustices plaguing the U.S. today, the "War on the Poor”
(the criminalization of poverty), and the so-called "War on
Drugs,” which attack the poor but not the government-
sanctioned and controlled pharmaceutical drug peddlers of
the world. While we have the agents of oppression - the police
and various related attack dog "law enforcement” entities, who
now have Presidential carte blanche to attack anyone they
choose, using all kinds of draconian conspiratorial laws and
other statutes validating 'terroristic' tactics to ‘legally’ run
amok on all who refuse to bow their heads to the mark of the
beast,
S0... from sitting inside a jail or prison what can an inmate
do to be heard? Go on a massive labor strike! Without the
labor of the incarcerated, no jail or prison could operate. The
hard part is educating the incarcerated to believe in their
collective power and stop allowing their captors to have them
think in an individualistic way. The captors DO NOT think or
act on an individualistic level or the functioning of juils and
prisons would not operable. They think collectively - so should
the incarcerated! 5

1f we refuse to help these places operate, it would collapse
overnight. It isn't possible for government to replace
prisoners with guards and employees. Indeed, it is impossible
for the prison authorities to replace even a fraction of prison
Iabor, should we massively strike.

Adding to this, is the enormous potential assistance that ex-
felons / ex-prisoners (now numbering in the tens of millions in
the U.S. alone) offers, and -should a viable way to mobilize
them be found (and I know of such a way), a recipe to destroy
the current status quo is at hand, cheaply and easily available.

Without a jail * prison system capable of locking up millions
of non-violent offenders (i. c. 'dissenters') oppression by the
system becomes far more difficult. The apparatus of the state -
courts, cops, ete., would be thrown into chaos by the mass
closure of jails / prisons, as the system itself would be forced
10 undergo radical fundamental changes.

Educating the incarcerated is a must so that they will
innerstand the power they hold and the desperate need for
them to rise up and demand change!

"We find wars of extermination, wars among races and
nations; wars of conquest, wars to maintain equilibrium,
political and religious wars, wars waged in the name of
‘great ideas'... patriotic wars for greater national unity... and
what do we find beneath all that, beneath all the hypocritical
phrases used in order to give these wars the appearance of
humanity and right? Always the same economi
phenomenon: the tendency on the part of some to live and
prosper at the expense of others.”

A Testimonial of the Forgotten

by, Al Khalid Abduliah st

Many of today's most important thinkers, theorists, political analyzers
and futuristic pioneers are those men and women who are languishing inside
some state or federal prison. Men and women who aren' afraid to speak out
and expose the horror's of brutality and real terrorism that exists - ight here,
within the walls of Amerika.

‘These men and women, who risk their possible freedom, having their mail
destroyed, visits denied, denied needed medical treatment, endure vicious.
beatings and assaults, do 5o by testifing the TRUTH! Testifying to a prison
culture of sadistic abuse and overt comuption at the expense of taxpayers
because it is the taxpayer who pays for Amerika’s prisons and the sadists who
work in them, as they diligently work to keep the voices of the incarcerated
shut up and deny them the outside light of hope to shine inside these concrete
tombs, by denying zines to prisoners, like comrade Anthony Rayson fearlessly,
and out of his own expense, tries to send out to help inspire and give hope to
many who need such inspiration, hope and a guiding direction to obtain liberty
and freedom - which first must start from within before being transformed
outwardly.

Therefore, the testimonials of the incarcerated are vital and a must.
Often those on the outside cannot flly see what is before them because they
are in the middle of the drama. Bt those who've been removed from the
hustle and bustle of saclety are able to see with an undisturbed lens. That is
why their voices are so badly needed. -And not just when they are
incarcerated, but also those who survive the prison mind-control, physical and
spiritual abuse and have retumed to society. ~ They need to be immediately
snatched up and embraced 5o they aren't left to wander without support.
They need to be given an audience so that they can share, fist hand, what is
going on and tell us what we need to do to make things change. If we don't
do this, we allow our most valuable of revolutionary resources to wither away
into forgottenness. - We can't afford history to be forgotten without being
recorded. If we, the politically conscious - the socially aware - do not act, who.
will?

Let me share something | read in the April, 18 - 19, 2014 edition of the
Burtington County Times, section A", entitled: Ex-NBA Payer: Re-entry
Tougher than Serving Time."

In brie,the article spoke of Jayson Williams, an allstar professional
basketball player who served prison time for fatally shooting a chauffeur, in
2002.

He spoke of how hard he had it upon re-entering society. He said:
“When /ot out, & was more diffcult than any of my days in prison, "Willams
told an audience attending an inmate re-entry conference in Jersey City, New

Jersey. He went on to say, Peaple who once paid a magnificent amount of
money to watch me play didn’t want me liing next door to them." Wiliams
said he lived in a hotel or seven months, even though he had a good credit
score and New Jersey's former Secretary of State was vouching for him. < 7

“This is significant. it shows how society continues to 00k down on
someone who has been to prison, and for the most par, refuses to give them a
chance. But this is not 50 in all cases, because there i another side to this
hypocrisy. George Soros was convicted for insider trading on Wall Street.
But,George Sorus is a super bllionaire who doesn't feel the chiling effects as
most other convicted felons. The same applies for convicted felon, Martha
Stewart, who came right out of prison and back into her television program.
Not a word did Martha utter about the conditions of prison or what she saw in
how other, non-wealthy prisoners were treated.

‘The mainstream media is not going to address this unless it happens o
be some celebrity or super wealthy person who brings up the subject. But we
should not rely on what the government-censored news media has to say...
We, the People, should make our own voices loudly heard and push for the
man and woman coming out of prison, or even stil n prison, voices to be
heard via speaking engagements and zines, or other forms of print material.
We ought not have silence as an option because it is not an option.

Silence allows abuse to continue. Silence allows the human rights and
digpities of mankind to be trampled over. Silence is a passive acceptance of
wrong being committed by the bully, the powerful the goverment. So we
‘cannot be silent, nor can we allow the testimonials of the incarcerated to be:
forgotten or unheard.

“The government has a way of intimidating people into silencing people.
For instance, groups organized against the Amerikan imperial empire agenda
or, as Anthony Rayson has stated in Pseudo Reality ™ that of their vicious
underting allies (such as Iszael) are deemed temonist” Ifyou don't accede (or
‘succumb) to Amerikan imperial objctives, you'l face demonization and
assaul, up to and including nuclear war.”

Mikhail Bakunin has stated: A person is strong only when he stands
upon his own truth, when he speaks and acts fiom his deepest convictions.

How truthful these words are. We are strong, as a people and as a
collective, only when we stand up and upon truth. - My truth, your truth,
everyone’s truth because truth leaves no room for darkness and thus
comuption cannot thrive, because the comuption of concealment only survives
in dark places.

S0 the voices of the man / woman in or freshly out of prison are vital for
the sake of all society. Why? Because these voices expose what s being
kept from the general population.

HOPE

One day T hope that the peaple - all of the peaple - see how corrupt
this system and these pigs really are. T hope that the people will understand
that we prisoners cannot get much done without their help, without their
voices, and without their love and solidarity...and T hope that allof us
prisoners behind these prison walls, inside of these forture units behind
these torturous cell doors, will one doy set aside our differences and
understand who our real enemies are - the system and its oppressors! T hope
that all of the people, wherever they are, whoever they may be, and
wherever they rise, will soon come together and resist with allof us
prisoners across America. And when they do, T hope that all of these prison
walls crash down fo the ground and crumble right along with these
oppressors!

We - the peaple - need 1o stand together and fight, fight and fight until
we smash all of our enemies (oppressors) and until we are able fo control our
oun lives, our own minds, our own homes, our own children, our own sisters
and brothers, ond our own communities without these pigs who ferrorize our
neighborhoods, without the pigs who criminalze the peopl, without the pigs
who demoralize the people, without the pigs who dehumanize the people, and
without the pigs murdering the peaple.

It's fuck'd up how we got these pigs who are suppose fo *serve and
protect” the peapl.in the communities, but instead of these cowerd-ass pigs
protecting the peaple they protect each other and serve the people in our
communities with bullets, false charges, beatings, and more and mare
injusticel Then they - the judges - the pigs - lock the peaple up inside of
these torture units behind these prison walls and expect prisoners o be
rehabilitated after being physically abused and subjected to cruel and
nusual punishment for so many years that that is going fo bend us o their
will and turn us info “good people” so that we can be released back info
society?l That's not going to happen. The wardens inside of the "Nevada
Department of Corruptions” try to correct us prisoners by allowing these
Pigs (corrections officers) o beat us prisoners while we're in handcuffs,
trash our cells during cell searches, refuse to give us our meals, giving these
unprincipled nurses here the authority 1o force prisoners fo fake
psychotropic medications when they don't need it - fucking their minds up,
their vision, their speech, their memory, and their lifel - and think that that
s actually going to correct us - or our behavior. That's not going o correct
us, change us, fame us, or rehabilitate us!

Tl tell you (my fearless reader) what it's doing - what these pigs are
doing - they are creating mre violence in these prisons between us
prisoners, they're creating more destructive minds behind these cell doors,
they are pushing some of us prisoners fo the point where we feel like we
don't have anything else to live for, and they have pushed some fo the point
where they have actually committed suicide. Violence and destruction are
Starting 1o become the normal thirg 1o think about while we are confined in
these cells, Murder has probably already been on some of our minds because.
of all the physical abuse and cruel and unusual punishment that a fot of us
prisoners have been subjected fo, some for days.. some for weeks, some for
months...and some for years...and it will continue 1o be on our minds more
and more each and every day as long as these pigs continue fo treat us
prisoners like wild animals!

Anyways, T hope prisoners take the time fo sit and really think about our
current situation, our future, our families, our commurities and what we want.
1o change for the better and not the worse. T hope that we fake the
violence and destructive. thoughts of f our minds and start organizing,
education, seeking more knowledge and start uniting... T hope that if it does
‘come a time when we will have fo be destructive and violent, let it not be
against each other but against the real enemy - the system and its
oppressors! This is the hope that T have in my heart, this is the hope that T
o tosleep and wake up with, this is the hope that T have for the people, and
this i the hope that I love because T have hope for freedom..

Stay activel Stay dangerous! Stay solid! And fuck the system, these
vigs and these snitchesl

GET UP, STAND UP!

If you are tired of living a boring, sheltered, self-destructive and
pathetic ife, then get up, stand up and become an active member in the
struggle against the crimes that are being committed against our humanity
nside and outside of prisonl

‘The people / your people need you. Be a voice for the people... don't be
the next mon or woman 1o get slaughtered by these heartless oppressors..
don't sit and watch these pigs terrarize your commanity or the people in
Your community, or criminalize the people in your "hood / community, and
don't sif on your oss and watch these guard dogs beat your people bloody and
mercilessly on the streets!

et up, stand up, get your guns, your knives and sticks and then throw
your fucken fist in the air and fight for your peoplell Fuck the police! They
can't win @ war against a united hood / community full of conscious,
revolatiorry-minded pecple who arer afrad o figh for teir fllen
comrades, their family ond their freedom!

If a pig strikes you or one of your people - and anyone else, including
ccomrade or friend - don't turn the other cheek, protest and strike them
back! If they take the life of one of your people, don't start singing, “We
‘Shall Overcome* and marching, take three of theirs! Mistory has taught me
that the only way to overcome these pigs is through "direct action" Because
the enemy doesn't understand the “non-violent” approach, in most cases the
‘enemy only understands violence. We, the people, have the right fo protect
ourselves and the people in our communities. We must not ever be non-
violent with anyone who is violent with us. And we should never allow these
fascist pigs 1o knock of f our youth and get away with it. Our youth is our
future!

Those coward-ass, donut-eating, coffee sipping purks bleed just like we.
bleed. The only difference between "us" and *them” is that they are
cowards and we are the real warriors! All it fakes is ONE good blow to crush
pig mentally, physically or spiritually and they will crumble like cookies!

Sorise up, Locs & Damus. But before you rise up you must first learn how
1o stond up on your own two feet. Raise your level of consciousness and help
Your young hormies rise up and shine like the sun. Don't give up or give in fo
nothing for nobody! Be smart, be wise, and be infelligent not only with you-
words but with your actions as well. And whatever you do, don't get caught
up or fall victim fo the government's game. Drugs are a government game.
It is a way to rob us of our minds, our bodies, our lives and our youth.
Anyone who plays the government's game, loses. Then these pigs get you
right back where we all started, in slaveryl Then the government gets to say
“this time you did i 1o yourself; now we re gomna lock your stupicd-ass p and
make you work like a slave inside one of our prisons!" No one should play that
game.

The government has and always willflood the "hoods with drugs fo
destroy the minds and bodies of the poor black, brown, red, white and yellow
peaples. Drugs are what keeps us distracted from focusing on our real
‘enemies, and it is put in our "hoods so that we fight and kill each other over
a punk-ass *dime rock" or a punk-ass "dub rocki™

There are a whole lot of other ways fo get money o support yourselves
‘and your families. You just gotta get out there and search for it until you
find it. Once you find other ways to get money you'll be beating the punk-
ass government at their own game!

Last, but certainly rot least, keep holding on 1o all of the things that
matter fo you the most... the things that you believe in... your freedom, your
courage, your pride, your joy, your strength, your self-determination, your
thoughts, your happiness, your mind, and your rebellious spirit.

As long as you hold on fo what mafters the most nd never give up or furn
your back on the people, these pigs could never break you mentally or
physically. And, you'd never be detained or constrained, but unleashed!

Now let's get it crackin’ inside and outside of prison and turn this so-
called "lost generation X" info Generation Malcolm X and liberate our minds
by oy means necessary!

I Believe

I believe that if prisoners inside the Nevada Department of Corruptions
set aside their differences, fake a stand together against the coward-ass
‘oppressors (the pigs) and understand the we (prisoners) e all being
oppressed by the same enemy, and start organizing ond educating each
other, then our conditions of confinement will start changing for the better

T believe that if prisoners start separating themselves from the foul,
untrustworthy individuals with snake-like menfalites, and the pieces of shit,
our character il improve and we'll have a befter understanding of each
other, more frust in ourselves and each other and frue solidarity amongst
each other while we exist and conftinue fo struggle ogainst these atrocious
conditiors.

T believe that getting on my knees fo pray for my freedom to some god,
or whatever the fuck people want to call it, will not get me my freedom, but
Standing on my feet and going after it and fighting for it will o T'll just die
trying. 1'd rather die trying fo get my freedom on my feet than to die
praying for it on my knees.

T believe that the only way there could be any real solidarity here at Ely
‘State Prison or any other prison out here inNevada, is if we really
acknowledge each other as comrades instead of niggo, cuzz, or blood. Once.
we:start 1o acknowledge each other as comvades and not aflow our
differences to get in the way, then we can get these pigs to see that frue
Solidarity exists in these gulags.

T believe that there are a lot of nfiltrators, hypocrites, snifches, p.c.'s
and haters who are sitting back on their bunks listening and waiting 1o give.
up any information to the pigs 1o prevent us from coming fogether and
making positive changes. But, if we remain strong mentally and physically,
and stay determined, and rebellious, there is nothing these cowards could do
1o stoprea,lke-minded peopl from niting with other people i the. 4 5
struggle.

T believe that these pigs inside and outside of every prison across the
U5, are the mast violent criminals person could ever possibly think of. But
they lock us down inside of these maximum and supermax security prisons
‘ond lobel us the worst of the worst] How dare these criminals (pigs) lock us
down like this and put all of these false labels on us and lie to the public
about us prisoners being violent or the worst of the worst! How dare those
coward-ass pigs who are outside of these prison walls, gun down innacent,
urarmed children and continue o wear that punk-ass *badge of honort® T
believe that all of those pigs on the streets need to have a "badge of
cowardice” because there is nothing honarable about killing innacent
children! There is nothing honorable about terrorizing the poor black, white,
‘and brown communities! There is nothing honorable about being a fucken pig
because these pigs are the real criminals! These pigs are the most violent
‘and the most deadly organized gang in Amerikkikall

T believe that a leader is someane who sefs an example of being
independent and self-governed, a leader is conscious of his / her self,
actions, and surroundings. A leader knows how to make his / her own
decisions and will never allow any one else to make decisions for him / her. A
leader knows who he / she is and who their enemy is.

T believe true leaders stand on their own two feet, and encourage others
1o stand on their own two feet, they are effective and efficient, they are
tharough but equally honest in self-evaluation, they search for weakness in
themselves, locate it, and destroy it.

I believe that before a leader fries 1o rectify someane else’s problems
‘and mistakes - they first rectify their own. And I also believe that true
leaders are not dictators but are governors of themselves...and they don't
lie, mislead, or haodwink their people.

I believe in self-governancel T believe in self-iberation T believe in
self-education! I believe in self-determination! I believe in self-
empowermentl I believe in self reliance I believe in the abolition of
government! And I believe in the abolition of prisons as they're a fool fo
enslave and profit off of the poor, Black, White and Brown People!

What do you believe in? Do you believe in iving your life i fear and in
‘submission with your knees bent and your hands joined, or do you believe in
living your life on your feet and going after what you want without fear of
anyane else’s disapproval? Do you believe that you or anyone else should

spend the rest of their lives behind these walls of oppression? Or do you
believe that people should be free from these oppressive institutions known
as “prisons" end *jails?"

Figure out what it is that you believe in...and never allow yourself to be
put down by athers. Believe in life... believe in struggle... believe in
freedom..believe inindependence... believe in the sweat of love and in the
fire of fruth...and no matter what, always remember that before you believe
i anyone else or anything else... you must believe in yourselfil
