Human Rights for Prisoners March Was Postponed - Weather

NP, can y'all do anything w/ these cyber stalkers? I am trying to add my taglines.  First it stuck when I tried to add the tag "African American," and I had to start over.  Now it is sticking at the word "Taser."  These folks are trying to censor everything I write.  That is one reason this march is necessary.  Citizens must stand up to the wrongs being done in America in non-violent demonstrations as we were taught by Dr. King, or loss of civil rights will only continue and worsen.  Yes, this march concerns prisoners, which anyone can become at any time - all it takes is a traffic stop.  But ignoring the civil rights of prisoners is how abuse of power begins - with the least among you.  Then it spreads.  First, they came for . . .

Maybe if I write the "offending word" repeatedly here they might give up trying to censor it.  Here goes:  Taser, Taser, Taser, Taser, Taser, Taser, Taser, Taser, Taser, Taser, Taser, Taser, Taser, Taser, Taser, Taser, Taser, Taser, Taser, Taser, Taser, Taser, Taser, Taser, Taser, Taser, Taser, Taser, Taser, Taser, Taser, Taser, Taser, Taser, Taser, Taser, Taser, Taser, Taser, Taser, Taser, Taser, Taser, Taser, Taser, Taser, Taser, Taser, Taser, Taser, Taser,

The map showing U.S. prison rates per state was also used in this article:  Judges Pled Guilty in “Jailing Children for Dollars” Scheme. It is an article about the shameful way some Pennsylvania judges were channeling children into private detention centers to earn an estimated $2.6 million in kickbacks.  Now I understand why one person who signed our second petition begging the USDOJ to investigate Larry's death wrote these words, "You can have justice in America if you have enough money."  Justice must not be for sale!

I apprecitate your help with the photographs.

HERE IS A DEMONSTRATION OF "FREE SPEECH" in America re: Justice:

Yahoo reports that it has BOUNCED around 1,400 messages of mine since I announced the Human Rights for Prisoners March in Atlanta on May 16, meaning that I did not get these emails. Also, I was unable to send emails, because Yahoo kept closing me out of my account for up to 48 hours "due to unusual activity." This happened six times within the last week. Notice the stark difference in bounces I experienced after publishing this article - 1 to 3 bounces a week prior to announcing the march.  After announcing the march, the number jumped to nearly 500 in one week!  Free press = keep your printing presses and copier machines.  The Internet is sewed up.

*****************

FAKE EMAIL BOX ISSUED BY NING. Because of my ongoing problems communicating through Yahoo, I joined Alarms for Justice on Ning and sent the Invitations to the Human Rights for Priosoners March from NING. The email box at NING is supposed to send the invitations to my entire Yahoo email list, which it could not have done because of of 2,000 addresses. However, only the people that those who monitor my mail know I communicate with on a personal basis got my invitations.

People need to know that Internet mail sites have control over their ability to communicate. The censorship could be coming from some entitty that has dominion over the individual sites.  My NING email box was also supposed to take the RSVPs for the march:  I was issued this email box and have sent emails to that box mail, yet no mail was received: MaryNeal577@alarmsforjustice.Ning.com

I tried today sending mail from the NING email box to my Yahoo. It arrived at my Yahoo email box as coming from mail@alarmsforjustice.ning.com

This prevents people from knowing who sent them mail. Some people have accounts that send all such generic mail as that to their spam folders automatically. I selected "reply all" to see if I could reply to the message and it get back to my NING email box. This address in my Yahoo address field came up:  do_not_reply@AlarmsForJustice.Ning.com

So naturally, that makes it impossible for anyone to be able to respond to my emails if any were sent. All of this is done to contain information about the Human Rights for Prisoners March to keep our numbers low. Censorship is especially practiced whenever I try to contact predominantly African American groups.

When browsing the web this week, I found my first email to the Justice4Oscar_Grant group at Yahoo.com. I had supplied the group with a link to my article here at NowPublic about Oscar Grant's shooting. When I found the email on the web, the link that should be there was gone. That group never received my link - it had been LIFTED FROM THE EMAIL MESSAGE before it arrived at the Yahoo group. I wrote about it here:
http://www.care2.com/c2c/share/detail/1131568

Unless the powers that be changed it back since I wrote that blog about the censorship, the email with the missing link is here:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Justice4Oscar_GRANT/message/108

Despite the censorship, my Oscar Grant article got nearly 8,000 views at NP and many more, because poeple copied it to their own websites.  Maybe you read it: 

Oscar Grant: First Unarmed Black Man Killed by Police in 2009, Next?
http://my.nowpublic.com/world/oscar-grant-1st-unarmed-black-man-police-killed-2009-next 

THIS IS THE TRUE STATE OF "FREE PRESS" IN AMERICA, PEOPLE.  EXERCISING THE RIGHT TO FREE PRESS AND FREE SPEECH DEPENDS ENTIRELY ON WHAT ONE HAS TO SAY.

Great contribution!

Attorney Gen. Eric Holder replaced the internal ethics leader at the USDOJ.  That is a positive step toward improving justice in America.  Here is a link to an article about that personnel change:  USDOJ's Leader of Internal Ethics Fired

Special attention is in order for this prison issue, because it has the potential to affect us all:

19)   new trials with substantial new evidence, like the Troy Davis case

I think Davis is being preserved to execute one day and set off riots to excuse Martial Law (when the "emergency centers" are ready).  President Obama should pardon Davis, a likely innocent man who is repeatedly denied a new trial, and remove that threat to national security.  Perhaps holding Davis on death row without new trial despite significant doubt about his guilt presents a setup - a "sting operation" for predominently black Americans.  If the man is ever executed, EVERYONE SHOULD JUST STAY HOME AND PRAY.  Don't fall into the trap.

People should take advantage of peaceful demonstrations like the HUMAN RIGHTS FOR PRISONERS MARCH will be.  

Disorganized public reactions immediately following abuses of power should be avoided. Remember:

An angry man stirreth up strife, and a furious man aboundeth in transgression. ~ Proverbs 29:22

Make no friendship with an angry man; and with a furious man thou shalt not go. ~ Proverbs 22:24

Do not wait until some injustice happens one day before talking to your children about the importance of remaining calm and peaceful in the face of adversity.  After Oscar Grant's murder, the demonstrations almost turned violent.  Decide right now that when faced with gross injustice, you will remain home and work out peaceful resolution when tempers are not high.  The Human Rights for Prisoners March provides an opportunity to protest police brutality, prisoner abuse, and the expansion of the police state in the absence of any immediate issue.  

Failure to employ the non-violent methodology to advocate for needed change, but waiting instead for some calamity, could provide a convenient excuse to actually use those "emergency centers" and militia who are being trained to contain rebellion within the U.S.  We must give guidance to young people about the power of non-violent social change by using our right to PEACEFUL assembly.  It could be too late later.  

Teaching young people methods of non-violent conflict resolution is just as important as it is to give them "safe sex" and "say no to drugs" information.  Non-violent conflict resolution and anger management classes should be mandatory for everyone before leaving junior high school.  Such classwork being taught early may help to curtail the nation's high rate of violent crime, including domestic violence, and prevent explosive public reactions to perceived abuses of power.  Prayer has been dismissed from public schools, but there are secular methods available and necessary for imparting moral guidance and a sense of social responsibility to our young people.

Let no man pull you so low that you hate him.  Always avoid violence.  If you sow the seeds of violence in your struggle, unborn generations will reap the whirlwind of social disintegration.  ~ Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr.

The abuse and wrongful deaths of unarmed citizens and U.S.prisoners both within America and in offshore determent camps related to the War on Terror prove the words penned by a certain human rights advocate a century ago.  He stated:

“[Y]our national greatness, swelling vanity; your denunciation of tyrants, brass-fronted impudence; your shouts of liberty and equality, hollow mockery; your prayers and hymns, your sermons and thanksgivings, with all your religious parade and solemnity, are, to Him, mere bombast, fraud, deception, impiety, and hypocrisy -- a thin veil to cover up crimes which would disgrace a nation of savages.” ~ Frederick Douglas

All we say to America is, "Be true to what you said on paper." ~ Martin Luther King, Jr.

This has got to be the most hidden article I have written.  Even the LINKS to it that I post cannot stay in place.  Why is there such censorship around a march intended to request more humane treatment for prisoners, psychiatric care rather than prison for sick people, an end to police brutality, and seeking alternatives to the death penalty?  Why is that a problem?

If possible, I would hire a blimp to advertise and have a long trailer made to fly behind it.  One side would say:

"WHAT HAPPENED TO LARRY NEAL?"

and the other, 

"AMERICA USES MENTAL PATIENTS AND PLENTY OF OTHERS TO GENERATE PROFIT AS PRISONERS, AND MANY ARE ABUSED.  PLEASE STOP.." 

The blimp should fly low and slow all over major cities at lunchtime on a summer day.  Tens of thousands of folks already know.  But with a blimp, we could be done with the censorship quicker.  Instead, we have to wait until May 16.  See you soon, CNN.

NOW is a good time to check your security, NowPublic.  I made edits to this article, got the confirmation that the document had been saved with the edits, but returned to the document and they were not there.  Does this happen to anyone else, or just those who threaten profits to prison profiteers?

Hello, NP.  I am running into huge problems finishing this paragraph regarding prison profiteering.  Security check, please.

Mainstream news refuses to report any of these events.  Containing negative news about America’s prison industry is of paramount importance to private prison owners and investors who profit substantially from the imprisonment of 2.3 million people.  Americans have been surprised at the identities of some highly respected persons who are prison profiteers holding responsible  positions  in our nation.

     

Question:  Why is it that I can put "Human Rights for Prisoners March" in any search engine on the Web and get this article, but not in NP search field under subject?  Why is that?  That is the name of the article, and yes, it is also in the tagline.  So what is up, NP?  Is there some "technical problem"?

A working link for the 50.min. documentary film, Torture in American Prisons 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IWxpQ87C4t4

The documentary is available at that link today, 4/18.  If it becomes unavailable there like the first link - something to hide, maybe? - I will try to find another link or upload it from my DVD.

This is a wonderful contribution. Thanks Duo.

Jenny, thank you for thinking so.  It is a chance to speak and be heard, I hope.  Also, if we are lucky, it will end the efforts to censor me to no end.  What they seek to hide will be out there in a big way, so there will be an end to thie constant violation of my Frist Amendment privileges.  Whoever does it cannot do it free.  I cannot imagine them paying good money to keep secret a non-secret, but they might.  To a large extent, that is what is happening now.

As always, we hope the articles and next month's march will shed light on problems that should be eliminated - prison torture is wrong, and all 25 justice system concerns should be addressed quickly.  This week we learned that Troy Davis was denied his appeal.  That was a blow to many people, and it helps expose a system that is broken.

Blessings!

In the last two decades, according to a Pew Charitable Trusts report, state corrections spending soared 127%, while spending on higher education increased only 21%.

I wanted to see what happened when I tried to email this message from another computer other than my own computer, and I was not permitted.  I was kicked off NowPublic to a Google message that the link was broken.  Readers are invited to experiment and see what happens when you try to email this article using the red "email" button to the upper right margin. 

Interesting - this censorship.  And determined.

Assistance to the Incarcerated Mentally Ill

As you know from the above post, I worked from another URL to see what my Censorship Force does to help contain my messages and articles.  They have been doing this for years, and I like to be aware of their level of desperation. 

Question:  Have you ever seen an email message screen that measures 1" length by 1/3" width?  That is the size of my Yahoo screen for writing messages which was available to me at the computer store WHERE WE ARE ORDERING FLYERS FOR THE HUMAN RIGHTS FOR PRISONERS MARCH.  In other words, the Yahoo screen that I had available was smaller than most people's baby finger, about that long and wide!

The people in the computer store were amazed.  I was not.  (1) The desperation to hide the secret arrest and wrongful death of Larry Neal and the subsequent cover-up by higher-ups probably keeps some folks awake at night; and (2) the potential loss to prison profiteers to enact any or all of the 25 concerns list above would be great.

So, the Censorship Force needs to get busy closing down the printshops in Atlanta before any of them can print the flyers for the march.  Cyberstalkers are not useful in stopping the dissemination of printed data - that is the only reason I hate to see newspapers go out of business.  One day, they will shut the Internet down, or they will use their power to impede everyone's freedom of press online, just as they have done this writer for four years.  Here are some more ways to try to prevent this news:

Close the t-shirt shops where the t-shirts will be readied.

Close BlogTalk Radio, while you are at it.  Simply blocking me from opening my mail from people who want to interview me won't work.

Close the Internet video outlets, to prevent the video announcements for the Human Rights for Prisoners March.

Hurry and get Sen. Rockefeller's bills through Congress to give President Obama executive power to close down the whole Internet, then use it quick, although you may have trouble getting President Obama to agree to use that power, because he believes in open government.

HUMAN RIGHTS FOR PRISONERS MARCH

Supplements to List of Concerns From Respondents
 
• Limitation of access to prisoners by friends, family, and members of
the media. [In trying to visit a friend in jail in Sacramento, I found
out that the officials there do an *automatic warrant check* on anyone
*visiting* a prisoner! They also forbid you to physically touch your
loved ones -- you have to talk to them via a poor-quality phone on the
other side of a plexiglass wall. There are all sorts of unnecessary
and offensive rules and regulations surrounding visits -- restrictions
on what you can wear, when you can come, etc. Loretta Nall, a
Libertarian candidate for governor last year in Alabama, was turned
away from being able to visit her brother after she and her mother
drove several hours to do so, because of not wearing underwear, even
though this was not visible over her clothing!]

• Unreasonable restrictions on what prisoners can have and receive in
jail. [In my limited experience with prison rules, books are
prohibited unless sold new by booksellers, even return address labels
on envelopes are disallowed! Blanket bans on items just because they
*could* conceal contraband are unreasonable; authorities have the
technology to properly screen items coming into the jail.]

• Prisoners should be allowed regular access to the Internet; in this
day and age, it is an essential means of staying in touch with
society, furthering one's education, researching legal matters, etc.

• Extortionate rates for monopoly services used by prisoners.
[Prisoners are forced to call loved ones collect, at rip-off rates of
over $1 a minute, and they are also overcharged for sundry items they
may buy through the prison system, such as toiletries.]

• Segregating prisoners by ethnicity   [This promotes racism and has
created a situation where prisons are dominated by racist gangs that
prisoners are pressured to join. Beyond the items mentioning torture
in prisons, and police & prison brutality, maybe we'd also want to say
something specifically about guards allowing some prisoners to rape,
assault, or otherwise abuse other prisoners? I've read claims that one
out of ten male prisoners in the U.S. prison system is raped while
incarcerated.]

• Expand point #17 (no misdemeanor charge for possession of less than 1 oz.
of cannabis), I am fully supportive, but would argue that as written,
it doesn't go far enough. Cannabis sales and use should not be a crime
at all; in fact, people should be free to choose to put what they want
into their own bodies. Federal drug laws are already completely
unconstitutional and therefore illegal. In order for Prohibition of
alcohol to be enacted as federal law in 1919, a constitutional
amendment had to be passed (the 18th Amendment, repealed in 1933).
That is because the Constitution as written does not grant the federal
government any power to outlaw drugs -- it is a list of powers
delegated to the federal government, and as stated in the Tenth
Amendment, those powers not expressly granted are retained by the
states or the people. There has never been a constitutional amendment
passed outlawing cannabis or any other drug. So all these substances
are in fact completely legal under federal law, except possibly when
sold across state boundaries. (I say "possibly" because the original
intent of the "commerce clause" that gives the Feds the power to
regulate interstate commerce was arguably meant to allow the federal
government to prevent states from erecting protectionist barriers
against products from other states, not to let the Feds prohibit
people in the various states from engaging in peaceful trade with each
other).

• To point #15, I would add "and agencies or committees charged with
police oversight." Also might add that every community should have
something like San Francisco's Office Of Citizen Complaints for people
to file grievances against the police. Police departments should not
act as their own watchdogs. Or prisons, for that matter. There should
be regular government inspections of prisons, including private
interviews with prisoners, in the presence of media members if desired
by the prisoner and media members wish to be present, and public
reports.
