Mongoose Distro

Tuesday, January 23, 2024

It is not only a recurring theme, but it would seem to be the main theme, if not the only theme. People, human beings, are dropping dead while in custody of the Virginia DOC. They are dying. It is strictly due to VaDOC policy, and in most cases it is wholely avoidable. Whether it is a death due to past surgery complications (sepsis) as in the case of Donnie Wayne Perry, being eaten alive by cancer as in the case of Robert Teindolt, or the dozens of overdoses occurring every week at every VaDOC prison (yet another death at Dilwyn this past week, where they average 3-5 OD’s per week), this is the outcome expected.

We are on yet another lockdown at Dilwyn Corruption Center. The usual response to a drug overdose that could not be salvaged into a story of survival. This lockdown will consist of all the usual fun and games; guards in not so fancy uniforms ripping through the personal belongs of 80 people crammed into overcrowded warehouses (literally). Strip searches and X-rays of too thin bed mats and pillows that you couldn’t hide a pad of paper in. Denied exercise, cut off from contact with friends and family, exactly all the things that might influence a person to want to escape from reality by getting high. The VaDOC is not only exacerbating the mental health crisis that lead to addiction and relapses, but it is widely reported and as widely understood and accepted it is VaDOC staff who are responsible for the majority of the drugs brought through the gates.

The VaDOC now intercepts every item mailed to captives, including but not limited to: legal mail, magazines, newspapers, newsletters, books and more. VaDOC interception requires all of the above be mailed to a central processing hub (the Central Scrutinizer) where it is x-rayed, processed by dogs, opened by drugs coming in to VaDOC prisons by any measurable amount. Visitations are also highly monitored to the point of being invasive and violating, again changing nothing. All of this is to cover up the VaDOC’s staff being the main problem, aside from continuing archaic, and proven failed, drug policies of all levels of government.

In some buildings at Dilwyn, people will be getting high only a few hours after their building is done being searched. You might be surprised by such a revelation, but not a single captive or staff member at DWCC is the least bit caught off guard. In fact it will not be a surprise if there is an OD or even a death just a few hours after the search ends. Failed policies that are not only archaic, but useless. Environments that have exactly zero to do with corrections and are instead built for human trafficking of captives, lending to a constant state of hopelessness and “why bother” attitudes. Staffed by people who only barely meet the way too low standards set by the VaDOC, who still can not get above staffing requirement numbers.

This is Virginia, where using state documents, it can be clearly shown that police represent a severe threat to civilians in their own homes, where judges are biased and hold investments in the prison industry, and where the prisons kill people daily.

There is a new thing goin on, a kind of social manipulation that isn’t gangstalking-proper, but works together with it seamlessly. I don’t know who runs it, but it has Agenda 21 written all over it. (Agenda 21 is a United Nations policy to help form the New World Order. Google it)

Much like the caste system in India, this is a power move intended to keep people trapped in the social class they are already in and thwarts advancement, especially for homeless people and convicted felons on parole. They want the homeless and parolees to stay homeless and they don’t want the parolees to rise above their parole status. I do not yet have a name for it, but a buddy of mine calls the people behind this “Shepherds” because the homeless and the parolees get herded around like flocks of sheep and if one sheep strays out of the herd, a shepherd goes and gets the one sheep and re-inserts it back into the flock.

In a similar way, if a homeless person or a parolee manages to score a high-paying job so that they can afford to pay off all their fines and fees and get their own apartment or house, thus breaking away from the cycle of homeless shelters, halfway-houses and government subsidy housing, they send an agent to befriend this person, then manipulate them to get fired from the job, or violate parole.

The purpose of this is to keep the lower-rung social class trapped in the cycle of homelessness and being continuously on parole or probation. In Colorado, the lawmakers have set things up to create “perpetual parole”, in the sense that there’s so many rules and programs you have to complete and pay for that if you violate any of them or don’t complete and pay for that if you violate any of them or don’t complete a program, the courts can reimpose the parole or probation over again so that you can never complete it and walk free.

My belief is that they want this because the chronically homeless and parolees have to depend on a plethora of various government-run services and programs and it literally takes up your whole day to do it all every day. It’s so stressful that if you manage to get a half-hour or maybe an hour of free time, you’ll go to the liquor store or the dopeman to buy some “stress management”, which leads to trouble. But, like a lot of things, money solves it so they don’t want you to have money.

They want you at your nearest Labor Ready day-labor office at 5 am with your steel-toe boots on to go do some shit job for minimum wage so you can hand over your whole pitiful check to the courts or the halfway house and stay on the treadmill. If you score a real job that pays well, you can pay off all that shit and get off of the government teat. They will literally send these agents to sabotage you.

Foreward

I would hate to establish myself as an authority on Stirner’s “Unique…”, and given circumstance I am not even able to dissect this work as much as it would please me to do. Everything expounded on here is my interpretation, and though I have spent considerable time with the text and can likely kick off your own study or interest of it…I am All-Too Human. It is a long work, especially for those with no taste for intellectual work, sarcasm, and double meanings. I did this for my own enjoyment, and would be betraying my sediment to not do as such. This is my favorite book, I invite discussion on it. I likely miss the mark at times – let’s hope I capture the spirit.

Introduction

I am going through the entirety of this book, to both the best of my ability and this medium. More comes to surface every re-read, even today.

What You Can Expect

• summaries to the best of my ability, of each section.
• various passages and quotes I’ve elected to highlight, and my commentary where appropriate.
• some pictures

What Won’t Be Here

• ‘Truth’
• the entire book
• professionalism

You can find the book on theanarchistlibrary.org, it is freely pirateable. I recommend Wolfi’s intro, it details some of the idiosyncrasies very well. It is an old and oft misunderstood piece. Many words do not have their traditional meaning, or are used to mean multiple things at the same time. You get more used to it the more familiar the text becomes. I will just recommend reading sections on your own at times – sorry.

“I have based my affair on nothing”

This is Stirner’s introduction to his book, it’s relatively short (2 pages) and is the essence of the book. [Only my own cause…only thinks of himself! pg. 1] Stirner is aware, almost overly, of what society would ask of him – to be self-less. [But we, we are…’serve a higher cause.’ pg. 1] We are supposed to be a ‘drop in the bucket,’ our affair to be annihilated by the greater. [The patriots fall in…’blossoming nation.’ pg. 2] Nationalism treats the individual, even duped servants, as literal filth, to build the shitpile ‘nation.’ [Try just once to…trip to his jail. pg. 2] The State wants to possess you, to the point of violence enacted on those who defy the State. [Which good, which bad?…any sense to me. pg. 2] As we will come to learn, morals are another ‘greater,’ a God, in short – religion. [For me, there…greater than me! pg. 2] Daddy telling it like it is – preach.

Part 1: Humanity

The first part of this book touches on, mostly, what-is. Stirner airs some of his grievances and arguments against religion.

Chapter 1: A Human Life

Another brief section (5 pages), Stirner largely talks about growing up and the development of mind, of becoming spirit, and eventually egoist. [Before the things that…withdraw, but take courage. pg. 5] As one develops mindset they begin to actually confront the world and not merely be scared by it. [Only now do we…only started at it. pg. 6] I do like this quote absent of context, in the broader sense, but Stirner behooves us to acknowledge that prior to our development of mind, we did little more with our world than stare at it. [“That is unreasonable, un-christian…us away from it. pg. 7] We are ruled by our conscience, our ideas, before we’re scared of consequence. [But with that, I,…and feel my emptiness pg. 8] As we understand things, even ourself as human (and this is of special note), the spirit of the thing has its legs kicked out by the perfect spirit, this other and un-own. We begin to feel hopeless at the unattainable; the human being. [And now I take…relate everything to myself. pg 10] As Stirner casts aside these spirits and takes ownership of his mind, his thoughts – the world is his, in all senses of the term property; his life revolves around him.

Section 2: Human Beings of Ancient and Modern Times

Literally a paragraph, an intro for this incoming ahistorical mockery of Hegel. Stirner is a fan of laughing in one’s face, and this adds an air of – seriousness, certainly.

2.1 The Ancients

A very sarcasm-laced detailing of Pre-christian history. Stirner touches on a lot, from the Stoics to the Epicureans, and a lot of it relates to spirit – spiritual freedom. Christianity radically changed the world, what was valued or sought after. [We are quite familiar…he is – the christian pg. 13] Stirner obviously holds christianity in contempt, and may be alluding to what is to come with the following sentence, questioning whether Jesus will be surpassed. [But to serve the…is – to be moral. pg 15] And in serving the good cause, one is not serving themself. [One who feels himself…for his “dear life.” pg 17-18] Stirner addresses how christians deal with their sorry existence; the sentence before this quote on the ancients’ sharpness and depth of perception being as far as Earth is from heaven, compared to christians, speaks to his disdain for the pious nihilism.

2.2 The Moderns

A detailing of aspects of the Reformation, humanism, the growth of the human spirit, or the human being as only spirit. Stirner is further developing this argument, one we will see throughout the phantasmbook [The spirit which, …improvement of the world pg. 23] Here Stirner talks of the spirit as something separate from anything worldly; essence. The spirit is concerned with the spiritual, holding the world in contempt. To the spirit, we are ‘the shitpile.’

2.2.1 The Spirit

Detailed expounding on the spirit, in a relatively small section (4 pages). There’s a lot of wordplay going on with the word spirit, and Stirner’s atheism really shines. Be mindful that ‘essence [of]’ and ‘spirit’ interplay here. [This its creations make…they are its world. pg. 24-25] Spirits create themselves, and in doing so form the world they live in. [Despite your atheism, you…your zeal against egoism. pg 26] The obsession with spirit turns even atheists against egoism. [A good patriot, for…fatherland and no patriotism. pg. 26] Patriotism is religion. [You carry your knightly…the spirits, i.e., ideas. pg. 26] The spirit is truth.

2.2.2 The Possessed

Stirner describes the spiritual world, one where the sacred rules: the human being, your essence. There is nothing greater or supreme, être suprême, but many will fight over this idea of a highest essence. [Have you ever seen…the existence of spirits. pg. 29] A good example of Stirner’s playful sarcasm, who wouldn’t trust their grandmother? [If even in a…true well-being, something “sacred.” pg. 31-32] And if you take just one sacred interest to heart, it will rule you. [Sacred things exist only…him the involuntary egoist. pg. 32] Are you really serving yourself, seeking exaltation? Partially, hence Stirner’s choice of involuntary egoism. [Every higher essence, like…an essence over us pg. 33] These essences mean we do not act in our own interest. [The atheists carry on…and – held as sacred? pg. 33] The sacred is not us, even should you be its creator. It is – higher. [And as divine revelations…through “true human beings.” pg. 33-34] Those who outline what humanity aught be, the human being, gift us this elevation through true human beings. [If one smiles compassionately…the most devout christian. pg. 34] Laughing in the face of those who would argue truth of the highest essence appears to be Stirner’s goal, with the sarcastic closing sentence accomplishing just that: [So in the foremost…our “holy faith.” pg. 34]

2.2.2.1 The Phantasm

In taking the highest essence, an existence of it, as truth, assumption, this phantasm has been allowed to create itself – by haunting the individual. [Behind the existent world…they sought the absurdity. pg. 35] Stirner is amazed at this quest others have undertaken, for the thing-in-itself, the highest essence. [The essence of the…world essence (world activity). pg. 35] In looking for this essence, this truth, those who believe in ghosts see the world as marvelous — if we are to believe Stirner, this world essence is little more than vanity, a deception as to its true appearance. [To recognize and acknowledge…essences, phantasms, and ghosts. pg. 36] There are ghosts all around those who are still possessed, must we do away with them to become our own? [From now on the…himself, he frightens himself. pg. 36] In making one’s new God the human being, in the phantasm laying claim to one’s own person, one is — spirit. [If I didn’t see…have to respect you? pg. 36] Religion is the sole decider in one’s respect for other’s autonomy. [The people is a…spirit of the people. pg. 37] Much like humanity, which perhaps an almost direct parallel could be drawn, one is called to serve the people, or to be represented by this spirit, to the deficit of the individual. [If I embrace and…because it is you. pg. 37] I love you. [A ghost in every corner! pg. 37] Spirits are everywhere, haunting everything. [For example, above all…etc., etc., are sacred. pg. 38] Long live the King!

2.2.2.2 Bats in the Belfry

Thankfully, we cannot tell Stirner, due to subdivisioning and subsectioning: “You have one too many chapters!” Stirner attacks any and all fixed ideas as a bat in the belfry, from morals to monogamy, from humanity to Law, even reason — you are possessed by spirits. [Man, your head is…bats in your belfry! pg. 38] “[The] phrase implies having unnecessary and excessive things in your head” Wolf; footnote 25. [You have a fixed idea! pg. 38] A sacred idea. [Isn’t all the foolish…such a vast space? pg. 38] Most of the world is possessed by spirits, their freedom is only the appearance. [But I do not…my brothers are arch-fools. pg. 39] My brothers have fixed ideas. [Yes, the “fixed idea”…is truly the sacred. pg. 39] Yeah. [As much as he…namely a moral christian. pg. 40] This is similar to Nietzsche’s trashing of 3/4th christians, those pious atheists. [The stigma of “crime”…of corrections, in prisons. pg. 41] As I do. [Moral faith is as fanatical as religious faith! pg. 41] Try to challenge the moralist’s views on theft, property. [“Truth, morality, right, light…be and remain “sacred.” pg. 41] Like the presumptive existence of (a) God. [In the end the…a religious snake-skin. pg. 42] Morals are religion, perhaps Jesus has been surpassed? [To expel God from…divine is truly human! pg. 43] We clearly must finish robbing God; by dispelling the essence? [The same people who…the sacred, a “hierarchy.” pg. 43] Morals are hierarchy — whose morals? [And what today is not called religion? pg. 43] Just about everything is religion, yeah. [Now we are so…by “oath of office.” pg. 44] I can attest, though I forewent trial for good reason. [In the law of…himself to be moral. pg. 44-45] The human being fills the same role God did, in making Law. [Based on the principle…which realized the good. pg. 45] In this way, legal murder exists — the State can kill, for the good cause, but heavens forbid I, or any individual, murder. [Aren’t you familiar with…”legal” and sanctioned one? pg. 45] Death row, the death penalty, street execution, the guillotine. [So you admit that…nothing other than loyalty. pg. 45] Good is in the eye of the beholder. [Why don’t certain opposition movements flourish? pg. 46] Anarchy, even? Merely for the reason that they don’t want to leave the path of morality or legality. [In the moral relationship…other wills the opposite. pg. 46] Two Will to Powers butt heads. [No, it must sacrifice…the law of morality. pg. 46] One gives up their will to be a servant of morality. [Just get together with a servile loyalist, you liberals. pg. 47] Seriously. [And then these same…act of the rebel. pg. 47-48] People don’t like being obedient, moral subjects as much as they appear to, no? The immoral rebel is cheered for. [The good couldn’t have…neither of the two. pg. 48] Transgress morals and become your insurrection. [The rough fist of…of egoism utterly ruthlessly. pg. 48] My confinement an obvious example. [The moral person is…than the “moral” person. pg. 49] Morals are absolute, fixed, sacred, and God help the immoral. [Morality looks quite different…the only authoritative power. pg. 50] Take the assertion to not kill, presented via biblical ‘thou shalt’ and juxtaposed to legal statutes and whatnot. [Because this morality perfected…on its own account. pg. 51] As it has. [If morality had conquered…of masters has occurred. pg. 51] Morality is a new master, ruler. [It is just a new — religion. pg. 52] [Haven’t the shamelessness and…measure and all expectations? pg. 53] Whatever is sacred is truth — morals. [You are supposed to…to seek your benefit. pg. 53] Stirner is talking of calls to altruism here, you may take it more broadly, I do recommend the surrounding passes for his broader view on altruism. [He listens only to…gags the lawless word pg. 57] The possessed are ruled by these spirits. [For both, the spirit…appointed governor is entitled. pg. 57] Both liberal and anti-liberal extol the spirit. [That an absolute existed…recognizing and depicting it. pg. 58] The absolute is sacred. [Who would never have…shudder, …and soon. pg. 58] We are molded, shaped — conditioned. [Young people are mature…are declared of age. pg. 58-59] Outside the jokes to be made of twitter; one matures when they act as tradition demands.

2.3 The Hierarchy

Here are present some of the most egregious terms, as Stirner furthers his mockery of Hegel’s own worldview. Wolf describes this well, you can refer to his intro if you’d like. Of note, as I am a pessimist, that references to ‘Chinese’ or ‘Japanese’ are stand-ins for ‘German’ to evade censorship of Stirner’s time. This section furthers the overarching argument present in the text: what is sacred rules you. [My worth cannot possibly…God and the world. pg. 60] How can I shine next to a diamond like God, humanity? [Through the heaven of…break its hostile power. pg. 62] Civilization’s protections are a farce. [Before the sacred, people…and humbly toward it. pg. 64] One needs to be subservient to the sacred, and as Stirner further explains: what is sacred is so by our decision, my bending the knee, not innately. [Hierarchy is the rule…rule of the spirit! pg. 66] A bold statement, in line with the overall text and the prior passage challenging the assumption humans must be religious, moral. [The most oppressive phantasm is the human being. pg. 67] Why create a spirit, a fixed idea of what being human is, to chase after? To oppress humans, clearly. I alone am I, I am — unique. [There is even no…upon as his calling. pg. 69] Our existence is riddled with sacred ideas that would demand I lie prostrate to them. [The human is indeed not a person, but a ideal, a phantasm. pg. 71] [Yes, yes, in time…drummed, rammed, and preached. pg. 74] I would prefer something else rammed me than the truth; morals are good. [If you no longer…tales find no — belief. pg. 74] Stirner holds our fear of ghosts is taught, by those afraid we’d otherwise be good-for-nothings. If you can’t make someone afraid, then you don’t control them (belief). [The heaven of the…being is thought — spirit. pg. 77] Mockery of Descartes and Luther; cogito, ergo sum. [This despotism only gets…becomes nothing to me. pg. 80] Family is sacred and must be disposed of. [The spy and lookout…conscience, I.e., a police matter. pg. 82] Our morals rule our thoughts — one is ashamed at their own thoughts. [No means are holy…makes the means sacred. pg. 84] The church stops at nothing to uphold itself, not even regicide as Stirner then highlights. [When I had raised…under lock and key pg. 86] Daddy turns the tables uWu. [But as people separated…concepts are to rule. pg. 88] You value yourself less than you ought with this relative assessment to humanity. [World history has dealt…that “being light-fingered”! pg. 89] One must respect their paltry freedom. [When you devour the…you are rid of it! pg. 90]

Section 3: The Free

This 3.4 with post-script section surmises Stirner’s views on, quite obviously, the bourgeoisie, the State, the Monarchs, socialists and communists, and humanists. Stirner simply hates liberals.

3.1 Political Liberalism “Bourgeois Society”

[Our sticking together is…together are the nation. pg. 93] Further said here is the mutual respect, possession by the spirit of the human being. [Anything inhuman or “egoistic”…”egoism pursues its essence.” pg. 94] Here Stirner begins to talk of the division in society, between one’s private matters and the nation. [The true human being…is always an egoist. pg. 94] The bourgeoisie say a lot. [One must act with…it lives in me. pg. 95] The state alienates you from your own — self-interest. [By the way, here…has power has right. pg. 96] The government has power, therefore it is right. [The monarch in the…monarch, the sovereign nation.” pg. 96] Really, not much has changed for the egoist, rather nothing in a better way. [What was longed for…permission nothing is authorized. pg. 96-97] The King’s right is more absolute than ever. [If one called it…measure it by that. pg. 97] Here Stirner toys with the matter of truly negating right, that one must not merely make a new right, but “[eliminate] the whole concept of right.” [It fought against the…people in constitutional states. pg. 99] Does the new aristocracy yet seem silly? [But if the deserving…a load of nonsense! pg. 99] [No “more rational” people…servants of the State. pg. 99] Obedience is good, much like my dog would do good to obey. [With the time of…anarchy, lawlessness, oneness. pg. 100] A good description of bourgeois society, and a concise argument for anarchy, with merely describing it concisely. [If the welfare of…that is useful to it. pg. 101] Nothing is, in-and-of-itself, immoral or off-limits for the State; it is sanctified. [Because one is indeed…in due legal form. pg. 103] We are not free, but enslaved to law. [It’s only the — state…being that forces them! pg. 103] You may be familiar with the phrase “Just doing my job,” to this effect. [The revolution was not…against a particular existence. pg. 105] In only disposing a particular existence, the virtuous rules then ruled. [The individual human being…a free bourgeois citizen. pg. 105] The spirit is free, why am I not? I am not yet spirit. [The bourgeoise professes a…as his deepest indignation. pg. 106-107] It is dangerous and despicable to defy bourgeois morals. [The state is a…status of the bourgeoisie. pg. 106] One must not be loyal and obedient to the State. [The workers have the…the State is lost. pg. 110] Sound familiar? A lot of people reach this conclusion.

3.2 Social Liberalism “Socialism/Communism”

I haven’t quite reached this level of cynicism and disdain for communism and socialism, let us see what Stirner has to say on the matter. [No one has any…law alone gives orders. pg. 111] Stirner furthers this prior critique, drawing parallels between political liberalism and social liberalism. [The lovely dream of…was up to now. pg. 117-118] We should concern ourselves with our affair.

3.3 Humane Liberalism “Humanism”

Elevating something higher than the individual; the human being – humane liberalism. [And you don’t notice…your idea of freedom? pg. 120] There is only one freedom, freedom for the human being — Not I. [If he can, he…to then — he can’t. pg. 121] Becoming a human being should not be your affair. [As self-will and property…or egoism in general. pg. 123] The human essence rids the egoist of their ownness. [Work and society are…but as an “egoist.” pg. 125] Work need satisfy the egoist, the individual, not society or the human being. [That in this he…character from his work. pg. 126] Do you seek the truth? [Well then, I reply…as what you are. pg. 128] I am not a human being, I am unique. [There can be nothing…breast of human being. pg. 131] uWu? [I don’t intend to…object, therefore my property. pg. 132-133] The world is mine. [The State, society, humanity…not overcome this devil. pg. 133] The devil here being the egoist, the individual, the inhuman monster — liberals undertake the task of convincing us we don’t want freedom. [An interest, whatever it…but I am its. pg. 136] So I will consume it before it can fix itself and become a fixed idea. [Political liberalism abolished the…God, must be abolished. pg. 136-37] [But since no one can…and raised over us. pg. 137]

3.4 Postscript

[Footnote 163] [But what if the…egoistic as the — unique. pg. 140-141] I am the unique. [But he can only…a criminal against them. pg. 143] Defying the government makes one a criminal. [I consume nothing but…only by consuming it. pg. 144] In assuming only oneself, one is able to “[be] both creator and creature in one”, to “[set] up or [create themself] for the first time.” I am, then, able to always act in my self-interest.

Part 2: “I”

This is my favorite part of the book; Stirner explores power, ownness, associating with others. The arguments he has been building up, against and about freedom, morality, religion, sacred interests, fixed ideas, and so forth, are continued. The overarching idea of this section is, as expected, that one should live life to their own enjoyment – self-interest, egoism.

Section 1: Owners

[Footnote 167] In a word, what makes one unique, their ownness. This section is all about desiring ownness over freedom. [I have no objection…also be an “owner.” pg. 147] [I am free from…waste myself on others. pg. 149] Be selfish, act in your self-interest. [You all want freedom…freedom is not freedom. pg. 151] Be free, but actually. [Even unfree, even in…I am also — present. pg. 154] I have this up in my prison cell. [Ownness works in the…him the desired freedom. pg. 155] You could call me a baby egoist, if you’d like. [I get around a…strength to overthrow them. pg. 157] We have as much freedom as we, the individual, have the power to make our own. [People don’t recognize in…yet through my ownness. pg. 158] [Of what use is…They keep on bleating. pg. 158] Liberal news outlets and their freedom, anyone? “Just vote.” [If the Greeks had…had a long way. pg. 158] Voting, the system, will never grant us freedom. [If I am not…proletarian protect the State? pg. 161] No, honestly. [It is only a…description of — the owner. pg. 161] Ownness.

2.2 The Owner

Here we see the difference between the liberal ideal, the human being, and, through ownness, becoming owner. [I — do I come…my own through liberalism? pg. 161] No. [To put it briefly…and not for me. pg. 163] Regard me as unique. [If the family is…be highest for him. pg. 165] Maintain the sacred, be possessed by the spirit. [Morality is not compatible…attach importance to morality. pg. 167] As we remember, our society has a bourgeois morality. [Therefore, the two of…the association of egoists. pg. 167-168] As I have and — do. [Its continued existence is…and its continued existence. pg. 168] Yeah right. [The human being is…like masculinity or femininity. pg. 170] Or neither. [The human being is…the father of lies. pg. 172] One themself is made — spirit, holy spirit. [My power is my…I am my property. pg. 173] I am my own.

2. I My Power

Stirner playfully talks of right, in all senses. Right is spirit, the right — phantasm. [Whether I am in…other judge than myself. pg. 175] Very different from absolutist morals, a true right. [No, only your power…give it to you. pg. 176] Power and strength exist in many ways — the State’s power, strength, makes it right, [This means nothing else…murder as a “wrong.” pg. 177] The State has the power to, largely, murder with impunity — so it does. [The dispute over property…therefore it is right. pg. 179] Pretty similar, no? Egoistic right, however, lacks a higher essence — it is not given to me, I make it mine. [Since human rights are…”grant,” to each other. pg. 179] [Another would simply ask…what my enemy wants? pg. 181] [But what is right…and so a command. pg. 182] I want my ownness, my power. [States last only so…”Will of the State.” pg. 183] [Whoever has to count…all over for lordship. pg. 183] Stirner invites us to devour our lords, to consume them rather than be servile. [My own will is…incomplete and easily persuaded. pg. 183] I write this in prison, convicted for Rioting. [Even if one were…have become my commander. pg. 183] The collective would rule me. [The State practices “violence,”…is above the State. pg. 184] I, this unique, am superior to the State.

2.2 Intercourse

The late John Moore’s “Lived Poetry: Stirner, Anarchy, Subjectivity, and the Art of Living” touches on this section, the lengthiest in the book, for any seeking further reading. This section is great, I’d rather highlight portions than tackle a traditional summary. [Indeed, if the interest…constitute it remains old. pg. 197] In dealing with the social question, the egoist always comes up short. [Can they be called…of the church, untouched? pg. 198] Am I — possessed? [This must ever be…is not my freedom! pg. 200] I want to be free, not to be deprived of my freedom so others may be free.

[My intercourse with the…to my self-enjoyment. pg. 304] I enjoyed writing this, and making my friends, in essence, read the spiritbook.

2.3 My Self-Enjoyment

The title aptly surmises it. [One who is worried…the enjoyment of life. pg. 305] Enjoy life — I am not afraid to die. [It’s something else altogether to live in — enjoyment. pg. 306] [Anyone who has to…but “blessed are the poor,” pg. 306] [However and whoever I…the true human being. pg. 312] I have slain the spirit. [But one frees a…to a fixed standpoint. pg. 318] Free them from all spirits. [An object raised above…thoughts toward the essence. pg. 318] Concern yourself with the spirit, no? [The degree of my…extent of my ownness. pg. 318-319] Where would I stand? [Everyone has a relationship…but a plaything, etc. pg. 319-320] Even a child can devour a spirit, until they are commanded to hold it as sacred. [Anyone who passes the…humanity would judge — criminally. pg. 320] The Bible is an error. [For that matter, how…so-called lack of restraint. pg. 328] The State will always encroach on your freedom, it is always to its benefit. [What would be gained…this freedom be mine? pg. 329] I am only free when I answer only to myself, when I do not ask for authorization. [If there is even…to be such truths. pg. 332] Respect for our fellow humans? Respect me. [The critic, when he…it precisely that “good.” pg. 334] Many critics take many fixed ideas, money as example, as truth. [Whether what I think…all the same to me. pg. 340] It is — my will. [Their sin is imaginary. pg. 343] [There is no sinner and no sinful egoism! pg. 343] [Well, if I no longer…all that is yours. pg. 344] [Therefore my needs are…sense of the — unique. pg. 344] You are yours, it is your power.

Chapter 3: The Unique

This chapter is 5 pages, a conclusion in some ways. Read it if you want, if you’ve read my selections it should largely make sense. [The christian world is…keep something back unmaterialized (unrealizable). pg. 346] The Holy Spirit. [The ideal “human being”…I have based my affair on nothing. pg. 349] A beautiful ending. ❤

Foreword: Stirner radically changed my life, furthered by my study of Friedrich Nietzsche in solitary confinement. I am happy Mongoose bought me this book in here. I do recommend “Stirner’s critics,” it is concise, and Stirner talks of this very book…he is a marvelous writer. I greatly appreciate any mail about the book, Max Stirner, this publication, or just in general. I am interested in furthering my friends’ understanding of this book, however I can, and this will likely not be the last of my writings.

Enjoy; one must leave life gifting it. – Sofia

“Why must the present state continue being so?
I waste away my life and barely make ends meet
Like every morning death’s call I readily greet
Never having bravery for even one blow
Obeying every order from owed industry
By consequences denied my own self-mastery
What could I become were I allowed to flourish?
My own will finally mine alone to nourish
I have no choice that tomorrow work continues
I torture myself with these dreams I still peruse
Nothing ever changes to stop the sun rising
How much power would I need to halt this cruelty?
Should my existential need be my sole advising
In defiance of what my sees as beauty?

Dakota’s eyes downcast, shadowed darker from gloom
Turning to their, they shift until they’re laying
Body tensed, overcast emotions displaying
Thought’s now relentless racing; reminiscent doom”

Every morning, you utter your usual groan prior work; every night you head to sleep, exhausted. You’re likely cognizant of these cycles, of your coerced state of reproducing daily living. You come home from work, you relax – you think of what is to come. Toil, leisure. You know what’s next because it’s been so – as you’ve willed, ad nauseum. Comfort is found in the expected, the safe – you need to work.

How do we know the sun will rise tomorrow? That it always has – that for things to not be as such would demand a dramatic change. We can’t necessarily predict the future – we operate under the assumption that the highly likely will become. When you arrive home from work – to rest – you are preparing to, again, work. You expect to, at least – even should, worse case, you be fired; work happens, again.

The longing for this state of rest – leisure; the dread of the toil that must come. Caught between, amidst, after, throughout – you become aware. You think of what will be, in longing or in dread. The expected. You reminisce – about your doom.

Work is a defilement of the will’s potential beauty. Made to do as another demands, as another dictates, through the ascription to a form of aesthetic creation – the adoption of an aesthetic – contrary to one’s self-interest; being made to think of one’s self-enslavement as virtuous. A hard day’s rest means you roll the stone again.

As Stirner says, for the master to not be master – the master must not be seen as master. The chains must be discarded, not atoned for, explained away, normalized. To believe things must be as such is integral to things being as such – or, as Mao says, to think things not being as such impossible is precisely what creates this impossibility. What one is willing to will, repeatedly, will continually come into being – and my desire for things to not be willed as such is a matter of a sufficiently strong will to power.

Rather than find comfort, of the hedonistic sort of the structural sort, in one’s conditions of oppression, enslavement – be uncomfortable, be unwilling, be defiant. Make things impossible to be as such. Refuse to reproduce your chains daily. Immediately – or bide your time?

Create your will to anarchy – however that might be.

DWCC P.O. Box 670

Dillwyn, VA 23936

   Friday October 6, 2023

 My name is David Annarelli. I am wrongfully convicted by a court that, under state statute, has no jurisdiction.

The charge was malicious wounding. I was in my own home, alone at night, during a mental-health crisis—the result of a traumatic brain injury and a lifetime of documented mental-health issues. No crimes had been committed. I have no criminal history prior to the incident and ho history of violence.

 The following is a matter of record, supported by the state’s own documents, including a hearing transcript. Dec 15 2016, where Officers Alicia Akers and Rusty Stanley admit to wrongdoing based on unsubstantiated claims that were never investigated while training a deputy (see Virginia Supreme Court record no. 220446):

Under VA Code 19.2-169.1 (E) there was no jurisdiction to proceed without an order declaring Competency to Stand Trial (which was never issued).

Under VA Code 19.2-169.1 (C) the competency evaluation was incomplete because of the failure of prosecution and defense counsels to provide psychological records within 96 hours.

Under VA Code 19.2-81.3 “police. had no cause to pursue;” I was home alone.

Under VA Code 18.2-51.1 false charges were filed, where a Class 3 felony should have been reduced to a Class 6 felon or less, as per the evidence (no knowledge of intruders’ identities). Instead, it was wrongly enhanced to a Class U felony (usually reserved for career criminals).

Under VA Code 8.01-428 (D) state documents show the prosecutor is guilty of fraud upon the court.

Police, on the record, admit to entering the home by a ack door and at night, a clear violation of the 4^th Amendment.

Police, on record, admit to not Mirandizing me, ignoring unambiguous invocations of silence and repeated requests for an attorney. Then they coerced statements.

Police, on record, admit to no “knock and announce” and that the home was “dark and quiet.”

Police, on record, admit to refusing to show ID, while hiding in the dark, in a fenced-in yar don private property.

Police, on record, admit there was no emergency and no crimes committed and admit they turned off their emergency lights long before arriving, obscuring their unjustified intrusion.

Police severely beat me, including at least six blows to the head (leaving me concussed for approximately 10 days. Video in custody and booking timelines (photos) confirm this.

Prosecution knowingly used false witness statements, when in possession of photos that unequivocally disprove their statements.

Prosecutor perjured himself on record, repeatedly. He also suppressed exonerating evidence.

The Virginia Supreme Court has now, on record, refused to uphold state laws regarding questions of jurisdiction and the allowance of new medical/mental-health evidence, prejudicing the case even more, and calling into question its position as a neutral arbiter of facts and law. 

 This is the short list. Every time I sift through over 2,000 [pages of case file I find yet another notable discrepancy. I continue to report the issues and file pro se actions as I am ale, all of which as mentioned is supported by the state’s documents, which prove I am unlawfully incarcerated…7 years and counting. Please spread this far and wide. If you are able to provide legal or media coverage, please contact me.

 “Every day I wake up is a good day.”

 I hear older captives say this all the time. After 7 years of torture and abuse, beatings, failing health being used as a means of punishment, and a nonstop barrage of psychological trauma at the hands of Virginia’s police, prosecutors, and DOC employees, I must emphatically disagree. I cannot, even with serious effort, remember the last time I was happy to be alive. I can, in fact, clearly remember waking up every day for the last 7 years, cursing my life and the cruel people who have done this injustice to me.

 I have antagonized those captives who talk a big game, daring them to stab me in the throat. I’ve even considered getting an “X” tattoo on my jugular just so there is no doubt about where exactly to stab me, hopefully with my own pen. What better irony is there? I certainly have a plan for my own demise. Fairly well thought out after 7 yes and, given the laziness and ineptitude, and general lack of care that DOC staff exemplify, no one will notice until long after the fact. The truly sad part of this line of thinking is that honor and justice demand the death of the police, prosecutor, and VA DOC staff who have destroyed a man who was nothing ut good and honest. Instead, I am close to giving up than ever before.

 I have fought long and heard through the worst hell. I’ve documented the whole journey. I survived a near-fatal traumatic brain injury. I survived the years of domestic abuse and captivity of my ex-wife, who prevented my getting medical and mental-health care as she stole all of my assets. I survived a rogue police officer’s breaking into my house and opening fire on me in the dark of night, without cause or warrant. I survived a near-fatal beating—including at least six more concussive head lows—at the hands of other rogue officers that same night.

For surviving, I was further victimized by a petty maniac of a VA Commonwealth Attorney who never uttered an honest word. Finally ending up in the most nefarious prison—after solitary confinement and several more beatings at the regional jail—where I endured 6 more years of concentration-camp-style abuses, physical and psychological.

 Now, in the VA DOC rotation of its stock—human captives—–I’ve been put into a dorm environment where I can watch my psychological well-being eroding even further. A complete and total cascade failure is more than likely. The blame is easily placed, with zero room for refutation or debate. I pray each night that all of the head trauma will finally catch up. Light and sound sensitivity, aphasia, failing eyesight, constant severe headaches, vertigo, intense panic, and social anxieties…can I please just go to sleep quietly and not wake up? It would be far easier, for everyone, than if I am forced to take my own life, an option I have always kept on the back burner.

 My supporters will quickly forget I ever was, I would think. My family has been all but silent these 7 years, even when the clear and unequivocal evidence of my wrongful conviction was shown. There are those who publish my writing; at least I am documented as having ever existed. Only three of my friends are even remotely present, but it very rarely goes beyond answering the phone. My writing—especially my willingness to be open and candid about my experience—gains regular praise, but I’d rather that energy be put into screaming from the rooftops, or mobilizing a long-overdue rebellion; even some good old-fashioned mob justice against the diabolic evil people who did this to me would be preferred to another pat on the back or sympathetic voice.

 There are upwards of 5,000 others like me being held captive in despotic Virginia. This state is a disgrace and must be purged from the planet. But Americans are lazy and cowardly, and they would rather end a knee than stand tall. In my case, dead bodies tend to get press, and questions asked…..so I hope I die in my sleep or find the courage to take matters into my own hands.

         December 12 2023, Tuesday

 “We do not agree with the authors of the Declaration of Independence, that governments ‘derive their just powers from the consent of the governed.’ All governments must originate in force and be continued by force.”

        –George Fitzhugh of Virginia, 1857

 This can be seen as the sentiment that pervades all of Virginia’s institutions, most especially its Department of Corrections (DOC). My recent transfer to a low-security prison, so called, has shown a clear consistency of deliberate indifference towards the basic needs of those humans held captive. It is apparent that causing harm is a matter of policy, even if not written blatantly. The lack of useful and up-to-date programs, the lack of proper medical and dental care, the lack of updated and modern mental-health services, and the barely nutritious food are all clear indicators that a doctrine of harm exists.

 A key aspect to this doctrine is the complete inconsistency that exists from one prison to the next. Even though the VA DOC has a listed standard operating procedure (SOP), every prison writes an internal operating procedure (IOP), and most often as a means of circumventing the FA DOC’s OP. This is similar to, and very likely modeled after, the way the State of Virginia writes laws to deliberately circumvent United States laws established under federal statutes and codes. To that point, stating that Virginia is in essence “anti-American” and openly violates the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights, is simply a matter of citing Virginia laws. I’ll leave it to you the reader to compare and contrast.

 Virginia’s entire history is built on tyrannical oppression of other human beings, so there is no stretch in stating its DOC is a destroyer of lives. Pocahontas State Correction Center, where I spent some 6 years of which I have written and documented much, was—and is—a veritable Hell on Earth of abuse and grift. This being the case, and having endured horrific abuses, a transfer to a low-security prison seemed a long-earned blessing. So far that has been far from the case.

 It begins with being put into a dormitory, or, to be more concise, a warehouse, quite literally I might add. Row upon row of bunk beds, six people and their possessions crammed into the same 12×8 cell area that two people shared. Harmful, and in no way a benefit of reward for my consistently good behavior. Of course for me, having been wrongfully convicted and not having any history of criminal activity, “good behavior” takes no effort. Much like my need to expose the assorted violent cruelties of A DOC prisons, and to push the much-needed abolition of all prisons, being “well behaved” comes naturally, although I must pat myself on the back for maintaining good form in the face of such anger-inducing abuses under severe duress while overwhelmed by such intensive frustrations.

 The dormitory is always loud and always lit. In fact it is by its nature and existence a major human-rights violation as well as a violation of the treaty on the treatment of prisoners, a.k.a. The Mandela Rules. Twenty-four-hour lights is not only a human-rights violation but is also a severe assault on the mental health of anyone—most especially those already under the duress of captivity. Coming from a higher level prison this was a system shock, but it was not the only one.

 One of the biggest system shocks was the total disrespect of other inmates towards one another. No respect for one another’s space, and no respect for the volume of voices. At higher level prisons these sorts of acts often lead to tension and fights. It seems that at a lower security prison all considerations go out the window. My stance on abolition does not preclude me from acknowledging just how many of the captives are prime examples of cascading ID-10-T errors. It shows glaringly in the above-mentioned disrespect, and equally in the lack of effort put into challenging prison conditions that never improve.

 Another great shock was the general attitude of the guards, which is sometimes far too friendly and polite. Having come from the always abusive PSCC, Dillwyn’s friendly staff left me in a constant state of anxiety. This, in and of itself, is telling where any concern regarding the psychological damage and harm caused by prisons is brought up. People being polite and considerate should not be a cause of crisis, but it has become one. After yers of abuse and even textbook torture at the hands of the VA DOC, specifically PSCC, all I expect is some type of trap hidden behind the smiles. That may not be all that likely, but it does serve much the same purpose as the abuse at PSCC did.

 Laziness and ineptitude are exceedingly widespread among those hired as VA DOC staff. The VA DOC is one degree of separation from being on welfare, so the type of people attracted to the job is exactly that. This is in conjunction with the long-documented statistics regarding the sociopathic tendencies of those attracted to being a prison guard. Lazy and inept sociopaths seem as if they would be more dangerous, at least to my mind they do. That being said, I must admit that, thus far, there is only the petty little power-trip type of guard, as opposed to the full-out sociopath. Again, that, coupled with the general laziness and an inability to do a job, seems to be dangerous.

 It calls to mind several of the initial experiences with the counselor and unit manager of the warehouse where DWCC is currently maintaining my illegal captivity. The first of these experiences was regarding my applying for a prison jo. Yes, it is a most abhorrent form of slave labor, but the prison thinks it looks good, and also the pennies paid to add up to a few measly dollars. I put in my applications following VA DOC OP and awaited a reply. The counselor, a flighty and somewhat confused person named Ms. Johnson, informed me that I could not apply for any job that wasn’t posted on an information board. This is not VA DOC policy but is DWCC I OP based on laziness and ineptitude. So I filed a complaint pointing out the clear and obvious problem. Enter the unit manager Ms. Beasley, a cold and somewhat snobbish woman who seems at all times displeased.

 Ms. Beasley informs me that DWCC does things its own way. In other words, A DOC policy be damned, which is par for the course at every VA DOC prison. Again, this stems from the inherent laziness and ineptitude of VA DOC staff as well as the doctrine that calls for causing harm. Interestingly enough, and to bring into the conversation another poor quality found all too often in prison staff, one of those jobs applied for was a “houseman” position. This includes several jobs, one of which is the “showerman” position, which as you might guess is responsible for cleaning the shower area. My job applications were returned to me—instead of kept on file, which is the usual response—and I was told none of those jobs, including the houseman position(s), were available. A few short days later, five people were interviewed for the showerman position y Ms. Johnson, the counselor.

 Dishonesty, it would seem, is yet another of the poor qualities required as a VA DOC employee. I have numerous accounts of PSCC staff blatantly lying, on the record, as if it is somehow acceptable. I can say the same thing about William Eric Branscom, the corrupt Commonwealth Attorney for Virginia who prosecuted me and rarely uttered an honest statement. Now I have DWCC staff, Ms. Johnson and Ms. Beasley, lying on paper too. Sounds like a bad movie about the Russian court system, doesn’t it? It begs the question: Are all Virginia state employees filthy liars? It would seem to be the case, based not only on my list of experiences but also on mounting paperwork where filthy liars haven’t even the sense to make an attempt to cover up their dishonesty. It is clearly a Virginia way and part of the state culture.

 Among the consistent inconsistencies are things such as getting photocopies, where both of the above=mentioned staff have given me erroneous –or deliberately false—information. VA DOC policy lays the responsibility for making legal and other copies squarely on the shoulders of the building counselors, along with notary duties. Ms. Johnson seems to think otherwise, even after policy is cited. This “kick the can and pass the buck” response seems to permeate every VA DOC prison, but even more so Dillwyn.

 Dillwyn, being a lower security prison, should be erupting with perks and privileges for these captives who have shown good behavior. If the goal is to help reacclimate captives to the real world while simultaneously getting them out of the total illusion and fantasy land of “prison think,” this would be simple logic. The exact opposite seems to be happening at DWCC, where re-enforcing the prison mindset is part of the unwritten doctrine. High-security controlled movement; very few programs or programs that are the same old well-documented failures of the VA DOC; prison uniforms a must; no better jobs with better pay; less emphasis on social engagement, and so on. DWCC seems to be another example of a deliberate and concerted effort to create and cause scenarios to keep captives longer. The total opposite of “corrections.”

 We are also finding the exact same routine where medical and mental-health offices maintain an attitude of “ignore all problems.” This is a frightening irony, given just how extensive the number of problems caused by the VA DOC is. As an example is my father long list of still-untreated medical problems, which include my hands, both of which require surgery. This is noted in my medical record, but, as of yet, the medical staff at DWCC have made no effort to address the issue. They won’t make any effort, either, until I start pushing complaints and have outside advocates calling the prison asking questions. This is, again, par for the course, but even more so it is both deliberate indifference and medical malpractice.

 And it gets worse than this. Dillwyn does not provide any advance notice of a captive’s scheduled appointment for a sick call. It is entirely possible to simply miss it over something as simple as going outside for recreation, as I myself have discovered. This is blamed directly on the captive who, having had no foreknowledge of the date and time of the appointment because of not being informed, may have gone outside, or to school , or work, or to pick up his commissary, etc., etc. Meanwhile, the prison staff only announce the call in the pod, so, if you are elsewhere, oh well you will miss your appointment, that you didn’t know you had, and it is considered to be entirely your own fault.

 This becomes extra-problematic where mental health is of concern. As an example, I have documented my rather extensive and often unstable state of mental-health issues. Going outside and briskly walking has become as important to my mental well-being as writing has. As I am writing this essay I am in fact also waiting for the dentist to all me over to pull a tooth that has rotted and broken in my mouth, dating back to June of 2022, documented on my record. I had to file complaints just to get in to see the dentist, who claimed I had already missed four appointments, which no one had informed me of. Last Wednesday, a 7-day antibiotic regimen ended, a precursor to having the tooth pulled. That was 6 days ago today. I have deliberately stayed inside, expecting the dentist to call me over after 3 days or so—as proper protocol would dictate—so that 18 months of pain and miserable suffering will come to an end tooth removed. Six days later, not a peep from the dentist.

 The anxiety is not healthy for me and it is slowly killing me. The tooth is as much a medical concern as a dental one, interfering with my eating and sleeping, as well as being prone to infection. The anxiety is not the only mental-health concern, as my basic right to humane treatment, promptly, is summarily—and outrageously—ignored. I k now I have rights. The fact that I am wrongfully convicted, proven unequivocally with the state’s own documents, only serves to re-enforce those rights. Yet somehow, in the United States, this criminally rogue organization that has direct ties to human trafficking and slavery, is allowed to usurp those rights….People have been hanged for lesser treasonous offenses.

 Everything about the treatment I am receiving is unacceptable. More to the point it provides the right, natural and proper, to secure my life and safety by any means necessary, no matter what acts are required. Self-defense simply cannot be understated, nor can it be ignored. That, by extension, should include acts by family and friends as equally permissible and as bound by a decent sense of honor. Yet we allow this insanity—and flagrant tyranny—to continue unhindered and unchallenged.

 Perhaps my state of being has been pushed onto the wrong side of the crazy line. Seven years of torture and abuse—and counting—due strictly to the lies of Virginians and the proven wrongful conviction will have that effect. That being what it is, I am forced—as many Americans are more and more finding themselves to be—to openly declare the desperate and immediate need for armed and open rebellion, as well as the immediate rounding up of all those who choose to oppress their fellow citizens. Anyone, anyone, choosing to willingly participate in this depravity is an enemy of every other citizen, especially those who are being held captie by an illegitimate system.

 Rise up and strike out. They are coming for you next.

The Chicano masses in our own occupied lands invaded and stolen by yankee war criminal colonizers, know the unspeakable pain and horrors of war crimes committed against the illegal occupation of our Texas, U.S. Southwest homeland, as suffering this very moment by the Palestinian masses in their own occupied homeland, by an illegitimate Israeli government that invaded Palestinian lands and imposed its war criminal government and maintained its illegal rule by state violence and terrorism, while it accuses Palestinians of being “terrorists” to justify the massacres it is engaged in, this very minute, of over 10,000 civilian people murdered, half being children!!!

What a horrific situation, a situation Chicanos, and peoples within the belly of the beast of U.S. imperialism should never accept, which requires a sustained militant actions in the streets of Amerikkkka as occurred all across the nation, in support or the Palestinian masses, as intensified, as our taxpayer dollars are being used to finance imperialist wars against the Palestinian masses and against all other colonized people around the globe, demanding return of their land, independence, their in a lie right to self determination living freed of the criminal system of colonialism, neocolonialism, as outlawing such crimes against humanity by the same United Nations. NOT IN OUR NAME, YOU WON’T !!!

U. S. national security Adviser Jake Sullivan showed his imperialist hand, when in an April, 2023 gave a speech at the Brookings institution tipping his hand on the new “Sullivan doctrine” of the fears of the U.S. imperialist ruling class, of its global imperialist system “waning” and the economic stagnation, deindustrialization, climate crisis, growing inequality, (Monthly Review Sept. 2023) and global wars rage on, as well as its domesticated imperialism over peoples lives in crisis as people take to the streets, worldwide to denounce the police murder of George Floyd, and in opposing capitalist policies and the right wing extremism that has taken root across Amerikkka and the capitalist ruling class fearful of losing its control as a white privileged class, as it exercises its brute police terrorism against people of color, enforces its fascist rule with use of “law” as their favorite weapon of tyranny used in history against people or color, as courts legalize social and racial oppression and injustice, used to subjugate workers, the voiceless, the poor and the oppressed, as they march us in chains to their slavery plantation prison concentration camps.

All of these issues are linked and the rulers believe that wars will cure the weakened U.S. imperialist rule as they fear losing and maintaining their influence and position in the Middle East by supporting the Israeli Zionist war machinery against the Palestinian masses.

Chicanos stand in solidarity with Palestinian people against Israeli Zionism, and the war crimes of U.S.imperialism, and call on massive sustained militant, revolutionary resistance in the U.S. denouncing the systemic war crimes committed against the Palestinian masses,until the occupation ends and Palestinian lands are returned to their legitimate owners, and Zionism is exterminated, and the Palestinian masses enjoy peace, land, independence, self determination, free of Zionist chains of bondage!!!!

CREATE GLOBAL REVOLUTIONARY INTIFADAS WORLDWIDE IN SUPPORT OF PALESTINIAN FREEDOM !!!

STOP THE GENOCIDE IN THE WEST BANK, GAZA STRIP!! FREE THE OCCUPIED PALESTINIAN LANDS !!! FREE THE OCCUPIED CHICANO LANDS !!!

ZIONISM, U.S. IMPERIALISM, HANDS OFF PALESTINIANS !!!
