Alligator Alcatraz ICE prisoner CHAINED for hours in scalding heat

(Status Coup News) July 25, 2025: Status Coup reporter Ashley Bishop reports on a prisoner at ICE's so-called Alligator Alcatraz prison describing what he called him being "tortured" by guard at the controversial prison in Florida's Everglades. The Nicaraguan man was placed in chains outside in a four-by-four-foot square in what guards call the "box." He was then left outside—chained—for several hours in the scolding heat without water.

Trump assassin has a website

We should all trust and obey our government because it has never lied nor let us down. Right?

Sovereign Citizen license plate

Accused would-be Trump assassin Mr. Vem Miller is an investigative journalist, just like he claimed at the checkpoint. That checks out. He has a website to spread his sovereign citizen movement message, exposing government activities, conspiracies, and scary plans the U.S. government for the rest of us. He has a podcast called "Blood Money" (vemmiller.com/podcast) where he covers these topics and/or blows the whistle.

When will G-Joe get his own coin like Trump?

Sovereign citizens do not need a driver's license, car insurance, or state issued license plates, and the law is on their side. But the law is one thing and judges are another. Though the law is clear that they do not need these things, society (through judges) has sought to force them to do otherwise. Why not just change the law instead of having activist judges enforce laws that are not on the books? The system has to follow rules, and it only wants to follow the rules it's forced to follow. So sovereign citizens love their guns for the day when the government comes to try to take away their rights or land or property.

US cuts deal to save face: Assange FREE

Julian Assange is free: WikiLeaks founder's brother Gabriel Shipton on the end of decadelong legal saga

(June 25, 2024) GUEST: Gabriel Shipton, filmmaker (ithaka.movie) and Julian Assange’s half-brother.

Gay Pres. Obama vs. Chelsea Manning

UPDATE: WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has been freed from Belmarsh Prison in London, where he had been incarcerated for the past five years, after accepting a plea deal with U.S. prosecutors.

After a decade-plus of legal challenges, Assange will plead guilty to a single felony count of illegally obtaining and disclosing national security material for publishing classified documents detailing U.S. war crimes in Iraq and Afghanistan [serving as a negative model for many other countries to do so] on WikiLeaks [in massive data releases and websites the U.S. was desperate to have Americans avoid and not dare go near for fear of surveillance and prosecution, coercing service providers into pulling their platforms from WikiLeaks].

Why did US prosecute him? To silence him with torture or ruin.

How can the System thank Obama for his service?

The Australian publisher is expected to be sentenced to time served and allowed to return home, where he reportedly will seek a pardon. Assange’s brother Gabriel Shipton describes learning of his release as “an amazing moment.” He speaks to Democracy Now! about Assange’s case and what led up to the latest developments, as well as what he expects will happen next.

(Reuters) WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange is due to plead guilty on Wednesday to violating U.S. espionage law, in a deal that will end his imprisonment in Britain and allow him to return home to Australia, ending a 14-year legal odyssey.

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange was at a location given as London, Britain, in a video released June 25, 2024. He is presumably in a British jail at the moment.

Assange, 52, has agreed to plead guilty to a single criminal count of conspiring to obtain and disclose classified U.S. national defense documents, according to filings in the U.S. District Court for the Northern Mariana Islands.

The deal marks the end of a legal saga in which Assange spent years in a British high-security jail and in the Ecuadorean embassy in London and fought allegations of sex crimes in Sweden, while battling extradition to the U.S., where he faced [trumped up] criminal charges.

Portrayed as a villain by the U.S. government for potentially putting classified government sources at risk [by exposing them for their crimes by showing their own records to the world], he has been hailed as a hero by free press advocates for exposing wrongdoing and alleged war crimes.

• Opinion: Sorry, but Freeing Julian Assange Still Comes With a Price

On Wednesday, he is due to be sentenced to 62 months of time already served at a hearing in Saipan in the Northern Mariana Islands, at 9:00 am local time (2300 GMT Tuesday).

The U.S. territory in the Pacific was chosen due to Assange's opposition to travelling to the mainland U.S. and for its proximity to Australia, prosecutors said. WikiLeaks' Julian Assange set to be freed after pleading guilty to US espionage charge

🐍 LYRICS 🐍 

You don’t take the drugs 

The drugs take you 

Tear your life apart 

Until there’s nothing to lose

They smash apart your mind

And they steal your love 

The drugs take you 

You don’t ever take the drugs 

White knife 

Pressed against my throat

Every time I breathe 

All I do is choke 

I used to know the punchline

But now I'm the joke 

Rolled up

Bank notes

 

White dogs

Running riot in my house 

Locked myself inside 

Because I can’t go out

It's bad for my soul

It's bad for my blood 

It's a bad f*cking habit

Always falling in love 

White death

Laying in my bed

Waiting for the moment 

I take my last breath 

Bang goes the shotgun

Off in my chest 

Death rattle 

Now you’re dead 

 

It sure creeps up on ya

It comes out of fu*king nowhere

White arrows for my chest

It’s 10:00 am and I still haven’t slept

If the sun comes up then we're going again 

It's the patron saint of the f*cking sesh

You don’t take the drugs 

The drugs take you 

Tear your life apart 

Until there’s nothing to lose

They smash apart your mind

And they steal your love 

The drugs take you 

You don’t ever take the drugs

You don’t take the drugs

The drugs take you

You don’t take the drugs

The drugs take you

Torture Continues, US Prison Strike Resumes

Wisdom Quarterly
Prisoner Hunger Strike Solidarity

One might say "I don't care about people in jail" or argue that torturing prisoners is okay -- as long as it is hidden behind walls and bars, where convicts are stripped of human rights at the hands of barbaric paramilitary jailers.

These are not prisoner gangsters but prison guard gangsters, who soon become worse than the prisoners they torment, taking on much of the behavior they torture them over.

If they say they have to employ military tactics against civilians, they should know. Prisoners have no rights to say otherwise because the entire "justice" system undermines and brutalizes them as if torture were redeeming and the path to rehabilitation.

But the issue here is torture for being labeled ("validated") as a gang member when one is not. This is not additional punishment. It is tormenting and inflicting unimaginable suffering. Many do not survive it intact, and the guards/police who inflict it become damaged personalities.

Damaged former guards stand ready to torture non-prisoners without a second thought. (Sheriffs in California must first be jail guards where they are desensitized to torturing "criminals," indoctrinated into a racist system, and taught to lie and cover it up conspiratorially as part of a "code of silence" that shields fellow jailers and officers).

Simply being labeled a "gang member" for any reason whatsoever -- it is really at the sole discretion of guards and officials -- gets one sent without trial into isolation for years. There may, however, be an administrative hearing -- run by and for prison administrators.

An "indefinite" sentence means one is locked up 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and comes out of a miniature cell to "exercise" in a slightly larger cell. This is torture and leads to derangement.

The way out? Death by becoming an informant (prison "snitch") even when there is no information to reveal. Invent it, because that whatever names are given up in the process will lead to their torture and administrative relocation into "security" housing.

This is the treatment Bradley Manning received to break him and have him falsely accuse Julian Assange so that his testimony could be used to convict the founder of WikiLeaks. Holding someone indefinitely for the purpose of extracting information is illegal by international standards.

Prison officials get all the say, and prisoners get all the torture. Meanwhile, the American public is told:

"Oh, these prisoners are complaining because they want more dessert, but we explained to them that they would have to do their homework first. Then they spit at us so, of course, we had to cripple, maim, and in some instances kill them and make it look like suicide. O, can you leave that last part out, you know, about the maiming and killing." And mainstream media and politicians are more than happy to oblige by keeping the deceptive message on point.

Why?
Why is it being done at the cost of hundreds of millions in taxpayer dollars? It is being done because it is highly profitable (for guards, the guard union, corporations, and politicians who use it as a "getting tough on crime" campaign platform, the police state).

Those who profit, particularly corporate interests, have been dubbed the "prison-industrial complex." There success leads to the US having the largest (and growing) per capita imprisonment rate in the world.

Almost all of them will get out. We are not safer for them having been tortured; we are imperiled now in terms of outrageous costs (it would actually be cheaper to send each outcast prisoner to an Ivy League college) going into the pockets of corporations and politicians and later in terms of recidivism (new crimes being committed in the future).

Stop the insanity. Stop the torture. Stop the mindbogglingly unfair (motivated by base desires for aversion, revenge, and ignorance) treatment of not only human beings but American citizens. Because we allow it here with members of our community -- and due to extreme sentencing -- our own friends and neighbors, we do not seem to think much of it when our military and CIA tortures in our name around the world.

Enlightened self-interest is the way to freedom. Torturing prisoners or anyone harms all of us.

California Prisoner Hunger Strike Resumes

Sept. 26, 2011 (prisonerhungerstrikesolidarity)

Prisoners at Pelican Bay’s SHU (Security Housing Unit) and Calipatria’s ASU (Administrative Segregation Unit) resume their hunger strike.

The strike this past July exposed the conditions and practices of Pelican Bay’s SHU. Referring to the first round of the hunger strike, Mutope Duguma (aka, James Crawford), a strike representative in Pelican Bay’s SHU writes:

• “This is far from over. And once again, hopefully for the last time, we will be risking our lives via a peaceful hunger strike [beginning] on Sept. 26, 2011 to force positive changes. For 21 1/2 years we have been quietly held in Pelican Bay State Prison solitary confinement under some of the most horrible conditions known to man. So we continue to struggle to be treated like decent human beings.”

Now over 100 hunger strikers at Calipatria State Prison -- in solidarity with the hunger strikers at Pelican Bay -- are risking their lives to expose the conditions of the ASU at Calipatria.

According to Calipatria ASU prisoners, roughly 80% of the prisoners in the ASU have been given indefinite SHU terms. They are placed in this isolation unit awaiting transfer to one of California’s three other SHU’s for men, namely Pelican Bay. Most of the prisoners currently in Calipatria’s ASU have been awaiting transfer for 3-4 years.

ASU prisoners at Calipatria report that prison officials have not been implementing the changes addressed by the five core demands written by the hunger strikers at Pelican Bay even though the demands refer to all SHU-status prisoners throughout California, not just at Pelican Bay. More


Treat 'em like slaves. That'll teach 'em to disobey! Hey, lock 'em up and throw away the key. And I don't care what they done. Maybe they ain't done nothing -- we gotta keep 'em down. Mercy for prisoners? Hell, I ain't got no mercy for no one, except we got a badge.
