(TRIGGER WARNING) “Don’t you know that slavery was outlawed?”
“No,” the guard said, “you’re wrong. Slavery was outlawed with the exception of prisons. Slavery is legal in prisons.”
I looked it up and sure enough, she was right. The Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution says:“Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.”
Well, that explained a lot of things. That explained why jails and prisons all over the country are filled to the brim with Black and Third World people, why so many Black people can’t find a job on the streets and are forced to survive the best way they know how. Once you’re in prison, there are plenty of jobs, and, if you don’t want to work, they beat you up and throw you in a hole. If every state had to pay workers to do the jobs prisoners are forced to do, the salaries would amount to billions… Prisons are a profitable business. They are a way of legally perpetuating slavery. In every state more and more prisons are being built and even more are on the drawing board. Who are they for? They certainly aren’t planning to put white people in them. Prisons are part of this government’s genocidal war against Black and Third World people.

The family sending all ten of their home-schooled children to college by the age of 12 | Mail Online
A mother who home-schools her ten children in Montgomery, Alabama, has opened up about how six of them began their college degrees by the age of 12.
Those of the Harding siblings who have already graduated from college have gone on to become a doctor, an architect, a spacecraft designer and a master’s student. Another two - 12 and 14-years-old - are still finishing up their degrees.
But the Harding children insist they are not geniuses. Instead, they credit their achievements to home-schooling, as well as a concentrated focus on their passions, which their parents taught them to hone in on from an early age.
‘By the time you get down to number five, number six, they just think learning seems normal,’ Mona Lisa said of her children.
For Serenneh, that passion was medicine. The 22-year-old is currently on her way to becoming a Navy doctor - which will make her one of the youngest physicians in American history
Younger sister Rosannah, now 20, became a fully-fledged architect at the age of 18.
And Heath, who graduated from Huntingdon College at 15, will have completed his master’s in computer science just after his 17th birthday.
Homeschooling looks better everyday.

Live free and prosper: PETA killed more than 1,600 cats and dogs at its Virginia headquarters last year - almost 90% of the animals handed over...
Animal rights charity PETA killed almost 90 per cent of dogs and cats placed in the care of the shelter at its Virginia headquarters last year, it has been revealed today.
The charity, well-known for attention grabbing publicity campaigns such as the ‘I’d rather…
If only the liberal supporters of liberal politicians and liberal organizations would wake up to the FACT that their purpose in life is to control everyone else. The movie stars that tell us to ride bikes or use public transportation to reduce our “carbon footprint” fly via private jet to their large vacation homes for the weekend. Politicians for gun control own their own guns and/or have armed guards. And PETA kills most of the animals it “rescues.” It is time to Wake Up!

This is an all out push to wake America up to the real problems that exist in this country. Ron Paul is the only one talking about these real issues, but we may very well elect another president and more congressmen who will change absolutely nothing. The madness has to end, and it starts by listening to Dr. Ron Paul.
I hold firmly to these words from the Declaration of Independence: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."
Meaning: these truths are clear, that people of all races are of equal worth, we have been created by God, our rights come from God not government, in highest regard is all people's (including unborn children) right to live, the right to make their own choices regarding their life, and the right to pursue success in whatever manner one chooses to define it, so long as our decisions do not adversely affect our neighbors' right to Life, Liberty, and pursuit of Happiness.
I also love literature and am rereading The Lord of the Rings in preparation for a Fall semester class on The Apocalyptic Imagination of Tolkien.
