Prison Journal: 17 January 2019 – Thursday

476 down, 254 to go.

“Work will set you free” – God I hate Nebraskans. The nicest thing that can be said about them: they treat their citizens and visitors better than North Korea. There they imprison you for no good reason and kill you with botulism. In Nebraska, they just make you sick with diarrhea and give you diabetes with the state’s flagship product: high fructose corn syrup. They call meth “toxic and harmful” while peddling their equally toxic HFCS and mad cow beef.

Got a reply from the Canteen Bitch that she is going to order the Dorco 4-blade razors. Got the approved visitor form back for mom and dad’s Feb visit.

I’m reminded of the first case plan that I had at OCC a few weeks before I left where Case Manager Schwizow was trying to push me into having children. Besides the absurdity of the conversation as I wrote about after it happened, it really is a demonstration of the depravity of a Nebraskan. They want the people that they’re torturing to procreate – why? So there is another another human available in the world for them to terrorize and enslave. Sick people.

Things that are actually worse at CCCL:

• no library
• no shower privacy
• no pooping privacy
• less food, a lot less – although quality is about 20% higher
• less opportunity for exercise
• lower slave-pay: far more work for the same joke-wage
• excessive fees (an ATM withdrawal is three-days work)
• no TV

Things that are the same at CCCL:

• amount of liars and crooks on the state staff (“work detail is 30 days”)
• poor medical care
• shit-smelling water

Things that are better at CCCL:

• personal needs visits

Nebraska: At least it’s not North Korea.

Research question: in what year or in what time-frame, chain of causality did the USA change from a country of heroes that proclaimed “Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death” (freedom > security) to the compromise-on-every-Liberty for illusory-Security cowards that we are today? 1968? Was it the Nixon administration with FISA? Reagan? McCarthy era and communism hysteria? Military-industrial complex build-up? As Sun-Tsu predicted – if you fight an enemy long enough, you become him. 9/11? Patriot Act? We’re so afraid some of a few starving Guatemalans that we are going to spend $6 billion (to start, at least) to build a big, useless wall so we can feel “safe” or “racially pure” (if you divine the real motivation of trump supporters).

My Country Tis of Thee

Land of Abandoned Liberty

Of Thee, I Mourn.

Land of Atrocities

Land of False Pieties
