What if
one was harassed in prison for not joining the revolutionary cause? Catch-22!
In Attica, on
Sept. 9, 1971- 43 men (33 inmates + 10 correctional officers/employees)
died. There is precedent, newhires
learn, about the dangers inherent in their line of work.
‘An eye
for an eye’ was base historic precedent, but prisons have been deemed more humane
than state-sanctioned murder of a murderer.
Is the death penalty for sex and sodomy of a minor,
signed into law by Kay Ivey, governor of Alabama, just? They’ll probably die in prison anyway. There’s layers to the justice system. Who would want known pederasts in their collective
assembly? Even prisoners who live with
rats think it’s gross.
Andrew Jarecki, co-director of the
“Alabama Solution” was on “The Joe Rogan Experience” #2475 on 3/27/26,
promoting said film. He spent much of
the time reiterating the narrative.
Around an hour-ten he had talked about the Robert Earl Council case,
again portraying it as a case of self-defense.
Again, he didn’t mention the assault rifle (he wasn’t pressed by Joe,
who probably didn’t take the time to look into it like most people). Why?
This is an integral aspect of the case, a part the jury would have
heard, and a determining factor in the commission of the crime (actus reus) and its sentencing. Omission is akin to lying. Why not discuss it? Your average citizen, acting in accordance
with the law, could imagine self-defense (anyone with an older brother or
sister). Not everyone could identify with the act of illegally buying or
selling assault rifles, or stealing from the person who was selling said
assault rifle because he was outnumbered and obviously intoxicated. Because most people are intrinsically
trusting of others they believe have no reason to lie to them. Because the message appears humanitarian on
the surface. What else is he hiding
(video)?
Now,
the guy REC killed may have been a total piece of shit junky degenerate, but
you still have to talk about the gun in court.
Say what you really mean, not what the producers want. You could tell the truth. “The junky got what
was coming to him and I still think he deserved what he got, but I’ve learned
better behavior in my time in prison.”
Not some bullshit about self-defense we know is a lie.
I mean, you and I know it’s a lie, but the public at large is easily duped into
believing because they’ve got their own shit going on. The narrative hinges on prisoner as victim
and dismisses the facts surrounding why they are there in the first place. Prisons are not meant to be especially nice
places to be. Penalty and punishment are
deterrents to crime, and are meant to fit the nature of the criminal act. For every condition called ‘cruel and unusual,’
I could point to a depraved, heinous, or perverse criminal act committed
against the innocence of the victim and the victim’s family and community who
have to cope. Can you force
remorse? One can feel sorry for the
consequence and not the action that caused/produced its result. This is why deterrents are absolutely
necessary in preventing the commission of criminal activity. Perhaps reconsider murdering on a whim. Or stealing someone else’s gun.
To Kay Ivey, governor of Alabama,
and the movie’s antagonist. She says,
“Alabama problems require Alabama solutions.”
This is in response the Department of Justice ruling that Alabama’s
prisons violate the 8th Amendment of the Constitution against cruel
and unusual punishment. They cited
“rampant violence, sexual abuse, excessive force, severe understaffing and
overcrowding, rape, homicide, excessive force by staff, high levels of
contraband.” Alabama was sued for
“deliberate indifference” by DOJ. (Quotes paraphrased from A.I. / DOJ
website) The suit was filed December 7,
2020. OK, so that’s the problem, what’s
the solution?
That same year, Alabama received a
$1.9 billion lump sum for COVID relief (CARES Act + American Rescue Plan Act
(ARPA)) to be allocated for:
Health Response – testing, tracing,
vaccination, purchasing PPE
Economic Assistance – Grants to
small business, non-profit, and faith-based orgs.
Reimbursements for increased costs
+ equipment for healthcare facilities
Individual relief – rent + utility
assistance.
Education – remote learning
Later, ARPA allowed for
infrastructure projects
(Again, paraphrased AI for brevity)
Kay decided to spend $400 million,
approximately 20% of the total funds, to build two new men’s mega-prison
facilities (4,000 beds each) to update and upgrade the existing prison
infrastructure found lacking in decency, eliminating the current 13 smaller
state prisons that were found derelict.
Objectively, this is one solution to health concerns of the
incarcerated, assuming improvements to overall conditions are made and met. Also, objectively an infrastructure project. Its opponents ultimately want to reduce
prison populations through psychiatry. “The
state should instead invest resources in diverting people away from the
criminal legal system and supporting drug treatment, mental health programming,
and re-entry services,” says The Brennan Center for Justice.
“…thoughtful Americans can be
roughly divided between those who dismiss all forms of psychiatric practice as
worthless or harmful, and those who regard it as a panacea for crime,
unhappiness, political fanaticism, promiscuity, juvenile delinquency, and
virtually every other moral, personal, and social ill of our time.
The
adherents of this exaggerated faith are, I believe, the larger and certainly
the more influential group in shaping contemporary social policy. It is they
who beat the drums for large-scale mental health programs and who use the
prestige of a massive psychiatric establishment as a shield of illusion,
concealing some ugly realities we would rather not face.”
Szasz, Thomas S., M.D., Ideology
and Insanity: Essays on the Psychiatric Dehumanization of Man. 1970. p. 79
We
trust Andrew Jarecki because he reveals some ugly realities, but he conceals
others. The road to Hell is paved with good intentions. The people who watch this movie and agree
with its premise have good intentions. I
think that our director is smarter than that and has ulterior motives. You see, his father Henry Jarecki was
himself a psychiatrist (amongst other things), who was affiliated with Jeffery
Epstein. He was accused
of rape and sex trafficking. The accuser
was referred to H. Jarecki through Epstein.
Point being, the association puts father and son in a class of “1%ers,”
otherwise known as plutocrats. These are capitalists clothed as socialists;
ultimately war-profiteers. Wartime
profits far exceed peacetime profits.
The United States is the world’s biggest economy (California alone is
the 3rd largest economy in the
world!) The greatest profits come
from economic destabilization or exploitation of generative need for wartime
expenses. This has taken on a different
form in the mostly peaceful States through gradual economic and ideological
alterations. Take the billions of
dollars California spent to fix homelessness where homelessness increased in that
same duration. The release of violent criminals is one way
to sow chaos and discord, or at least create a target for increased
expenditures, put simply. Expenditures
that are ultimately reabsorbed by the legal and medical-psychiatric classes, at
artificially inflated rates due to artificially inflated demand. To see where this is going, observe
California’s AB2624
(4/9/26) designed to criminalize investigative journalism that exposes fraud.
Here are examples of criminals who have been treated,
“cured,” and released back into society:
8/22/25 Decarlos Dejuan Brown: Murdered (stabbed, unprovoked) 23-year-old
Ukrainian emigrant Iryna Zarutska on a train in Charlotte, NC. He had 14 prior arrests, including armed
robbery in 2015.
4/11/26 Davy Spencer:
Murdered (stabbed, during fight) 21-year-old Marine, Danial Montano, in
Wilmington, NC. He had 60 charges,
including multiple violent assaults on women.
Jonathan “Autumn Cordellione” Richardson:
Strangled to death 11-month-old stepdaughter in Evansville, Indiana. The ACLU
sued and won on her behalf for gender reassignment surgery (paid for by
taxpayer). Released after 25/55 years
served. Subsequently started an OnlyFans
account.
This is
a good example of ACLU priorities. Consider
that while debatable in more liberal states, I would go out on a limb and
assume that Indiana voters/taxpayers would not choose to have their money go
towards the gender reassignment surgery of an inmate. This unpopular and undemocratic litigation. Consider also that this is subterfuge for
Richardson to be transferred to a women’s prison. Consider how this person might bring
increased “cruel and unusual” conditions for the existing women’s
prisoners. (Do women prisoners have more
lenient conditions for release?) Was
this person psychiatrically cured by her transition? Guess we'll find out!
American Civil Liberties Union and
Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) were plaintiffs in opposition of Kay Ivey
utilizing COVID funds for prison upgrades.
They argued that this money should be spent on expanding Medicaid,
affordable housing, or direct health response (listed earlier). As I hypothesize, these expanded “social
services” can be more easily exploited by legal and corporate-medical
institutions and destabilize communities who bear the economic burden and are
tasked with reabsorbing the released individual. Therefore it is beneficial to the unions of legal
experts (profiteers) to present Alabama’s prison system as broken and in need
of psychiatric reform over continued incarceration.
Consider how this fits into the
framework of the Affordable Care Act “Obamacare” of 2012. While it drastically increased the amount of
people covered by insurance, it did so through threat of financial penalty and
failed promises of “keep your plan/doctor.”
Premiums have also doubled since 2013 and the national debt surged by
hundreds of billions. Why did costs
increase? Take the expansion of
Medicaid: Insurance companies used to
compete in a free(r) market. While
certain people with “pre-existing conditions” were sometimes precluded from
private insurance because the financial burden would have been too great for
one or both parties, excluding this minority, costs were low enough for the
general public to bear due to competition amongst insurers. Medicaid is essential “government managed”
healthcare. They are not under the same
strictures as are private insurers because their money is obtained through
mandate or coercion. Therefore it can be
poorly managed. Therefore it is more
easily exploited through fraudulent expenditures to the tune of about $80
billion annually (tip-of-the-iceberg, probably). This would not happen so easily in the
private sector where fraudsters would be immediately excluded from
participating. This politico-corporate
alliance is what artificially inflates costs to the general consumer since the
private sector is now granted certain benefits (major insurers with 1,000% stock increases between then and now vs. 250% general average) for participation. You see,
direct payments could have been made to people in need – those with
pre-existing conditions and others, but that wouldn’t benefit the power of the
bureaucratic structure enough.
Now (4/22/2026) the SPLC has been indicted by the FBI – exactly to my point. The group was formerly famous for having a statue of the Ten Commandments removed from the Alabama Judicial Building in 2002. I only highlight this case because it speaks to a deeper issue. Where do our ideals of Justice come from? I think they want to statue removed because it points to the fact that talking about Justice is akin to talking about God. In some ways the nature of Justice is ineffable (metaphysical) so it can only be talked about, and the SPLC benefits from avoiding clear definitions. If “thou shalt not steal,” were chiseled on a giant chunk of granite they were to look at every morning on their way to “work,” it might bring offense! And this ‘separation of church and state’ thing is in many ways merely a façade, because how does one hold discourse on the nature of Justice without discussing the nature of God? Obviously, The Ten Commandments points to a certain religious affiliation, but it is still a foundational text. Plato’s Republic is also a foundational and insightful dialogue on the nature of Justice. Thing is, even an observant pagan could identify the nature of cause and effect. And perhaps we don’t need a formal justice system at all since Justice will be meted by man and nature regardless. But we have what we have because it has been determined less barbaric than vigilante justice. The continuous over-expansion of these formalized systems only serves to obfuscate (as an object hidden in a bureau) what ought to be evident. ACLU, SPLC, Jarecki, et al aren’t ethicists, they’re profiteers.
