At the end of November, US President Barack Obama and his former election candidate Mitt Romney snack turkey and grilled chicken salad in a private dining room adjacent to the Oval Office. At dinner, they talked about America’s leadership position in the world and their future preservation.
While two mister devoured turkey with spices, opposition activists collected information about the hungry in America. Millions of people in the United States at Christmas and New Year had nothing to eat.
In August, 2012-th number of people receiving food stamps in the United States rose to 47,1 million. For comparison: in October 2008, the corresponding number of Americans was 30,8 million. Growth starving - more than half. Every seventh American and every fourth child in the USA lived on food stamps in 2012. With this, they stepped over the frontier of the new, 2013, year.
According to the US Census Bureau, the number of Americans living in poverty in 2011 has risen to a new record - 49,7 million people. And the number of Americans living in poverty grows by about 6 million every year. According to the same Bureau, the poverty rate among children living in the United States is almost 22%, and about one in four workers in the US brings home wages that are at or below the federal poverty level.
"In the old days, - пишет progressive journalist Michael Snyder - it seemed that if something bad was happening in the United States, then only from time to time, but now, it seems, huge problems are pouring on us as if from a bag. Today, many Americans have experienced “crisis fatigue” ... a feeling has arisen that our problems never seem to end ... ”
Snyder also reminds of American poverty. During the time Barack Obama is in power, the number of Americans receiving food stamps has increased from 32 to 46 million people. According to the United States Census Bureau, in the whole country 49% of Americans live in families where at least one person receives benefits from the federal government.
In America, not only people are starving, but cities are dying. For example, many streets of Detroit, which has suffered greatly over the past forty years from falling population, reducing the tax base and the unbearable burden of budget deficits, have become wastelands framed by burnt buildings ... In this city, the 2011 self-defense kill rate has increased by 79 in a year %
According to the FBI, the author points out, now in America the number of gang members is 1.400.000 people. Since 2009, this number has grown by 40%. (But extra. Information from another source: in Chicago, 200 police officers oppose gangs of about 100.000 members: 500 to 1).
Americans have become heartless people. Recently in Arlington (Virginia) a car hit a man. Many people passed by him. He was lying and bleeding, and no one came up to him. All this was recorded on a surveillance camera.
Americans are massively suffering from an "anxiety epidemic." Referring to the Business Insider and a recent World Health Organization study, Snyder reports: 31% of Americans suffer from anxiety (compared to 25,3% in Colombia and 24,6% in New Zealand - countries that occupy 2 and 3-e in the “alarming” list).
We should assume, says the journalist, that people in developing or unstable countries should have more problems than Americans, but this is by no means the case. Today, the US is becoming the global champion of anxiety.
In the US, television shows and TV shows about the family are constantly being filmed, but at the same time America leads the world in the number of divorces.
"We probably set an example to the rest of humanity?" - the author is sad.
Along with all this, the United States is pursuing a political nightmare: after all, present-day America has no real leaders. The last four presidents, by author, were the worst presidents in stories USA.
In Obama’s face, according to M. Snyder, the American people elected an incompetent person. Almost all his decisions are wrong, and almost everything that he undertakes is doomed to failure.
The journalist concludes: America is cursed.
Ii. Welcome to Hell!
In the 21st century, America cannot be called a country of free people. Rather, it is an enhanced version of the German Gestapo.
In the old days, buying a house and a land plot was considered an indispensable component of the “American dream”. But today, thanks to totalitarian laws, the ownership of the house and land has turned from absolute to relative. The fact is that in the USA everything is regulated and controlled: from meetings and the number of guests in the house to the procedure for using the property for its intended purpose. Guardians of order can find fault with any little things. “Wrong” use of property is punishable. In the house of an American can break in due to the fact that the grass on the lawn is too high. Have you decided to improve, rebuild your house? You will not be good either: you have to demolish everything and pay fines. For example, Mr. Hoffman, the owner of the tea business, forty years ago began to implement a grandiose architectural plan: he dug a pond in the valley near the slope, built a tea house decorated with dragons and a tiled roof, and also erected a tower above the moat. However, the authorities did not like all this, and they decided that Hoffman needed to demolish everything, and also pay fines totaling more than 200 thousand dollars.
Older Americans often evicted from their homes for not paying property tax. In some cases we are talking about the sum of only a few hundred dollars. Bank of America and JP Morgan Chase are engaged in this terrible business: they buy tax liens all over the country. Such commerce is extremely profitable and can bring income up to 50% per annum.
An 81-year-old woman from Rhode Island owed some 474 $. The corporation bought her house in tax bids for ... 836 dollars and 39 cents. The woman was evicted from the house where she lived for more than 40 years, and the corporation immediately resold the house for 85.000 $. In Montana, a similar case occurred with a woman who owed 5000 tax dollars. She was evicted from her home, losing about 150.000 $.
In the US, a homeowner can easily cut down a garden and dig up seedlings. Denise Morrison grew more than a hundred plant varieties in her front and back yards. Back in August last year, Morrison grew lemons, stevia, garlic, onions, grapes, strawberries, apples, mint, walnuts, and more. This garden was both her life and her medicine. But the government deprived her of the garden.
And none of the neighbors do not care. No, people in the US are much more concerned with entertainment. That there is a neighbor or a neighbor, when Tom Cruise is shown on TV, Kim Kardashian's new dress or talk about what Jennifer Lopez reinsured silicone ass.
Moreover, it is dangerous to openly resent America. After all, the watchful eye of “Big Brother” is watching you everywhere.
The possibilities of observation, tracking and control in the United States today are much greater than before. The rapid growth of information technology in recent years allowed government, as well as large corporations, to use such means of observation, which dictators of the past could only dream of. Not far off is a sad time when privacy will simply disappear. "Big Brother" - he is everywhere. Some of the "crazy" technology of the XXI century, tested in the United States, are described below.
1. Crime Predictor Cameras (Pre-Crime). BRS Labs has developed surveillance cameras that, allegedly before committing a crime, can determine what this or that person is up to. This crazy idea "developers" promote quite seriously. Dozens of “predictive” cameras have already been installed on major transportation highways in San Francisco. BRS Labs is actively developing the metro: the cameras are installed at 12 stations, up to 22 pieces each. They will be able to track up to one hundred and fifty people simultaneously in real time; their memory of suspicious behavior will gradually increase.
2. Fingerprinting at a distance of twenty meters (POPSCI technology). IDair (Hanwisll, Alabama) is finalizing a system that can scan and identify fingerprints over long distances. It is assumed that this system can allow or deny access, for example, to the office, at a distance. There is no need to stop a person to check his data. The main customer "IDair" - the military. But the firm plans to carry out "civil" projects.
3. UAVs in defense of American democracy. Law enforcement agencies throughout the United States use UAVs for internal espionage. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which has launched a program to “facilitate and accelerate acceptance” of small UAVs for police and security agencies, is now looking for options to use aircraft for use by local authorities. UAVs over the heads of Americans will soon become an everyday occurrence.
4. Mind control. The US military is going to get an opportunity to capture the minds of citizens. They plan to do nothing more than convince terrorists that being terrorists is not good. The Pentagon’s Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), an agency of advanced defense research projects, wants to understand what makes people cruel and then find ways to implant false but plausible stories into the brains. Thus, the military, having rummaged in the minds of their opponents, hope to artificially soften the character of the latter and bring about peaceful thoughts: “We are friends, we are not enemies.”
5. RFID microchips. They are steadily becoming part of the life of Americans, because they contain credit and debit cards. Many Americans in offices use security cards, which also contain the appropriate chips. RFID microchips are about to be used in Texas - to track student movement (good goal: to prevent absenteeism). In Northside County, students are expected to track students in the next school year on two campuses with the help of technology implanted in student ID cards. Ultimately, it is intended to use all 112 educational institutions in the district and about 100 thousands of students.
6. Cellular surveillance. In 2011 alone, law enforcement has made 1,3 million requests for cellular subscribers. Law enforcement agencies are actively using American mobile phones to spy on them. (It documented number of 1,3 million - the sum of responses to inquiries from AT & T, C Spire, Leap and Cricket, MetroPCS, Sprint, T-Mobile, TracFone, US Cellular and Verizon. The number proves how widespread the practice of eavesdropping is in the United States. AT & T alone has over 100 employees working 24/7 to fulfill law enforcement inquiries).
7. License plate scanning technology. Automated car license plate readers are used to track the movement of a car from the moment it enters Washington until the time it leaves the city. More 250 cameras scan license plates to help police identify hijacked cars and escape killers. The police stores information from the cameras, creates databases, and documents the movements of millions of vehicles.
8. Reading faces. Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have created software that reads a person’s feelings by his expression. In other cases, computers even outnumber people.
9. Spy lights New "high-tech" street lights, which can really watch your actions and eavesdrop on you, as well as take notes, are installed in some major US cities. The initiator of the introduction of such lamps - DHS.
10. Internet bans: China is resting. The Internet is no more private; here, too, everything is monitored, everything is controlled and translucent. Downloading copyrighted software, video and music? The provider must follow you! Since July 12, the largest US providers have adopted a new anti-piracy plan, which is a scheme of total digital espionage. The bandwidth capacity of other users' channels will be blocked - until they sign an agreement that they will not download copyrighted materials. The plan was implemented through the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) and is coordinated by the presidential administration. (By the way, Russia goes the same way).
11. Spy fridges: the brainchild of Mr. Petraeus. When he was director of the CIA, Mr. Petraeus assured that web-connected devices would change the art of espionage. They will allow to control people automatically and without errors. Everything will be tracked: from burglary attempts to putting on a tuxedo - well, let's say, when trying to penetrate a spy for lunch. It was about adding processors and web-connectivity to dumb household appliances: refrigerators, microwaves, lighting systems, etc.
12. Hidden cameras in the TrapWire network. In addition to conventional surveillance cameras, in the USA there is a huge number of hidden cameras, the existence of which the Americans are unaware. Nobody knew about the “TrapWire” network - until the leak at WikiLeaks last year. Hidden cameras are installed around “objects of special importance” and react to certain actions: photographing, frequent appearances around an object, etc. A person with a camera, say, a tourist, can easily fall into the category of some kind of “predicted” criminals.
13. Extract and process bulk data. The actions of private companies are also a great danger to personal security and privacy. Acxiom currently has collected information on 190 to millions of US citizens and 500.000 worldwide. Initially, it was created as a database development firm for marketing tasks, but since 1969, its methods and technical equipment have been improved. Today, 23.000 servers are continuously operating in Conway, analyzing data from hundreds of millions of people.
14. Hospital cameras. They are in clinics everywhere, even in the toilets. This idea is implemented in New York. In some hospitals, cameras monitor the regularity with which staff wash their hands: as if to encourage adherence to maximum hygiene.
15. Programs that track the behavior of civil servants. Today, spyware is widely used in the USA, which carefully monitors what civil servants are doing at work. The program “Spector Soft”, being installed on a computer, knows everything about the activities of its owner. Interception of messages in social networks, tracking sites, screenshots, memorizing keystrokes - anything you like. Then the information is stored in special hidden folders on the hard disk, the contents of which can be found by those who installed the program.
16. Twitter, follow and knock. We are talking about the banal data request from the company "Twitter" about its users. This is no secret. This was announced by Twitter itself in a report. It is known that in the 2012 year, the Twitter surveillance by the government increased significantly compared to the 2011 year.
Along with this, the Department of Homeland Security hastily continues to buy ammo. The total number of cartridges purchased by DHS has reached 1,4 a billion pieces - and this is only six months. After a flurry of questions from the general public and “alarmists” about why the federal agency is buying so many ammunition, this agency stopped commenting on something, and at the same time started censoring information on petitions on ammunition. (By the way, in DHS works 200 thousands of employees, and according to the results of the last fiscal year, this agency spent 66,4 billion dollars. It is not surprising that in America there is a financial crisis).
From the latest DHS purchases: 200 purchased millions of .223 caliber cartridges over the next four years, 176.000 cartridges .308 caliber - this is in addition to 25.000 previously purchased cartridges of the same caliber. Analysts are concerned about the type of ammunition. The purchase of .308 caliber cartridges hardly means the realization of training goals. Experts they say about the intended use of ammunition by well-trained snipers. One hundred and seventy-six thousand rounds of ammunition can kill an 135.384 man, James Smith calculated, based on data from the Vietnam War: while marines snipers spent an 1,3 cartridge on one manslaughter.
Earlier in March, 2012, DHS announced the purchase of 450 million expansive .40 caliber cartridges. Bullets from these cartridges can cause maximum damage to human internal organs. Why does DHS have so many of these bullets?
And then the agency announced the purchase of ammunition, breaking through the walls (it was a question of the total number of 750 million cartridges).
In addition, DHS purchased protective gear and bullet-proof checkpoints that are not afraid of fire.
Obviously, all these ammunition, equipment and technology are needed to strengthen democracy in the United States.
Even for this we need concentration camps and coffins.
Iii. The ninth circle for the enemies of the people
It is known that in the United States built up to 800 special facilities (camps) for the maintenance of people. This is only in recent years. These "objects" someone on the Internet calls prisons, someone - concentration camps.
One of the sources of Such information is the article of the American writer Rand Clifford entitled "America! You have something to fear. ” In it, the author describes an unsightly American future. According to Comrade Clifford, the US government is secretly preparing repression, waiting for the situation to deteriorate in the country. (By the way, DHS purchases of hundreds of millions of cartridges and various special equipment can be mated with this). Each "concentration camp" can take at least 20 thousands of prisoners.
According to rumors, the largest "concentration camp" is in Alaska (in Fairbanks). He allegedly can simultaneously accommodate up to two million people. Other camps are located in California, Maryland, Arizona, Texas, Virginia and other states. Prison camps are equipped with everything necessary up to the gas chambers, the roads are connected to them. There is security guarding around the clock.
“Such camps, - пишет Eleonora Mandalyan is already available in Texas, Virginia, Maryland, Arizona ... (in all the states without exception, the competent taxpayers say). One such complex was discovered and videotaped in the California Mojave Desert.
From the side it is impossible to understand that these are either abandoned factories, or warehouses, or prison zones with barracks and towers, with state-of-the-art tracking and guard systems, surrounded by strong mesh fences with barbed wire, but ominously empty. The camps are connected to railways and highways, they are equipped with airfields and helipads.
... To the numerous inquiries received by the official structures: for whom these camps are built and on what basis they were given secrecy, an unconvincing answer was received: the goal of the project is supposedly preparation for a large-scale war against drug trafficking. What was immediately analyzed and rejected, as not conforming to logic or truth. ”

What was immediately analyzed and rejected, as not conforming to logic or truth. ”
The fact is that the camps are occupied by FEMA - Federal Agency for Assistance to the Population and Emergency Management, Federal Emergency Management Agency. And then the drug trade? However, in September 2010, the Congress approved the law on the new powers of this agency. Since then, it has become an additional power structure. In the US, no matter what the structure, then the power.
American alarmists sounded the alarm.
Famous Journalist Mac Slavo пишетthat the Department of National Security and law enforcement agencies began to share large objects intended for total surveillance, drones and hybrid task forces. Army chief of staff Raymond Odierno, the author of the sensational article in Foreign Affairs, is ready for anything regarding the struggle for democracy within his native country:
“If necessary, we will also deploy conscripts, especially those who have niche skills and appropriate equipment to provide civilians with a wide range of reliable and fast response options.”
In the United States today, a hybrid of army and police is actually taking shape, over which the image of the controlling Big Brother, DHS, hovers. It is worth the sheriff in his small district to suspect any citizen of the "security threat", he, the sheriff, can call on the army - and her "quick response" will eliminate the problem. Justifying this intervention of the army units, Mr. Odierno protects the homeland "from internal catastrophe", to which he refers to "insurgency" and "terrorism".
It is appropriate to recall the Decree number XXUMX, bearing the terrible name “On readiness of national defense resources”signed by President Obama 16 March 2012, and pay attention to the fact that already in 2016 year operational concept of the US Army suggests the use of armed forces in its own territory. In the latter case, the hypothetical scenario of a popular uprising in 2016 in one of the states is described as the result of the “Great Recession”.
Last year, Paul Joseph Watson, author and editor of the Planet Prison Dot Com site, described the reorientation of the army towards “domestic needs”. In the article "Warning shots will not be" He told how the US Army will act in case of internal conflicts. The article by Comrade P. D. Watson is based on an analysis of the instructions of the American military police on conducting operations in civil unrest. This instruction has become known only recently. She describes how military resources within the United States can be used to quell unrest. Speech in her about a lot: from the confiscation of firearms weapons and ending with the destruction of American citizens.
The text explains how and against whom military means can be used in order to restore and support the legal order in case of mass unrest and declaration of martial law. It is stated that military means will be used to “disperse unauthorized assemblies and patrol the zone of violations to prevent illegal actions”. This document also establishes that during operations to “restore order,” military forces have the right to resort to demonstrating forces, arrange roadblocks, crush crowds, use toxic agents, use forces or security reserves, and perform other operations.
The instruction reports on the restriction of the sale, transfer and storage of gasoline, firearms, ammunition, and explosives to the population, which will help "the police forces to minimize some forms of violence." As for firearms, the instruction provides for measures up to their full withdrawal from sale.
We are also talking about what to do with those American citizens who have been implicated in the violation of the rule of law, in other words, with dissidents. For these dissidents, the instruction provides for the status of prisoners (internees) and the creation of temporary camps, in full accordance with another instruction - US Army FM 3-19.40 “Operations on internment / transfer”.
Here you have the meaning of creation, and information about the appointment of 800 "objects".
It is also curious that the instruction even provides for the "re-education" of internees. The goal of "reeducation" is the development of a "positive assessment of US policy" among prisoners. (I wonder if not with the help of the DARPA program "Mind Control"?)
FEMA camps are supposedly builds Halliburton. The price of this pleasure for US taxpayers is 386 million dollars.
Writer Rand Clifford says:
“... Like the Nazi concentration camps, the FEMA camps are also divided into“ red and blue lines ”: the“ Red List ”is the enemy of the New World Order. Two weeks before the introduction of military control, they should be sent to camps for immediate destruction. These are real and potential leaders, or activists. The Blue List is also the enemies of the New World Order, but not the leaders. After the introduction of military control, these people must be captured for "reprogramming" in the camps. The survivors will be used mostly as slaves. ”
Popular columnist alarmist Alex Jones in addition to this indicatesthat millions of plastic coffins were made for the federal government. They were then distributed over closed FEMA bases. The manufacturer is “Polyguard and Co.”.
"It all started with, - пишет E. Mandalyan, - that not far from Atlanta, in the state of Georgia, slightly away from the main road, one American accidentally came across a strange, unguarded, open-air vault. In the vacant lot, among the grass that had burnt out under the sun and stunted rare bushes, an endless wall of neatly stacked each other (17 pieces) rectangular containers of black ribbed plastic stretched in the amount of 500 thousand to a million pieces stretched — it was not possible to count them. And it looked as though they had only been delivered yesterday: neither dust on them, nor dirt, nor fallen leaves. ”
Participants in many disputes about the "concentration camps", the procurement of millions of plastic coffins, the reorientation of the army to domestic needs and recent acquisitions of the Department of National Security agree: all the measures described were taken by the US government in case of a collapse of the US economy, which will inevitably lead to civil war. At the same time native America will be provided with free labor.
Moreover, the Americans have experience in the direction of such activities. A rich experience, historical, during the war between North and South:
“The gates opened, and our group, pushed from behind by the bayonets and butts of the Confederates, entered the camp. We, experienced soldiers of the Civil War, barely restrained cries of horror, surveying the picture that had opened inside. We were surrounded by some kind of living skeletons, dressed in tatters, covered with dirt and swarming with insects, only at a height reminiscent of the healthy young unionist soldiers that they were just a few months ago.
These creatures silently looked at us and stretched their hands towards us. Many of our group, the most superstitious, because of the terrible heat that was that day, began to seem very seriously that they went straight to hell. But this place was the work of human hands. It was Andersonville ... "
These creatures silently looked at us and stretched their hands towards us. Many of our group, the most superstitious, because of the terrible heat that was that day, began to seem very seriously that they went straight to hell. But this place was the work of human hands. It was Andersonville ... "
There was no shelter in the camp: people lived there year-round in army tents set into muddy swamp muck. Lack of normal nutrition, stench, quagmire of sewage were the causes of the slow death of prisoners of northerners from dysentery, scurvy, typhoid and exhaustion. A frivolous wound in this atmosphere could be the cause of gangrene, which was “treated” by amputation. Andersonville became the prototype of the death camps of the future: after all, there was tested tactics of protection and maintenance of small forces of large groups of prisoners and their gradual destruction without the direct intervention of the administration.
The supporters of Lincoln were as cruel as the Confederates. If not more. These guys organized 11 concentration camps, the worst of which was Douglas.
This federal camp was created in February 1862, Lake Michigan. It contained prisoners Confederate military and civilians from the territories of the southern states. The Austrians in Talerhof and Terezin subsequently copied much from the Americans - especially for the Russians from Galicia.
Minor food rations, lack of medicines, overcrowding (tens of thousands of prisoners living in tents at any time of the year), cold, illness and death - this is a brief description of the camp.
“... According to contemporaries, they were often flogged until the metal edges of the buckles penetrated the skin and muscles to the bone.
The prisoner was placed barefoot in the snow for several hours. The guards ensured that the prisoner did not move. ... Many after such a punishment were left without fingers, because they froze them ...
If a person reacted too slowly to the lift command, he was hung for several hours by the legs. Also, as a punishment, prisoners were forced to stand in a bent state, head down, on straight legs, until blood began to run out of the nose, and the flow of blood to the eyeballs did not force the prisoner to scream in pain ... "

"
Now, if we forget about the new "concentration camps", while empty, the United States keeps the world record level for the number of prisoners per every hundred thousand people in this blessed country - with its "dream factory", apple pies, Christmas turkey and reference democracy with all of the resulting rights, freedoms and values.
The US penitentiary system is now self-destructing. Perhaps, therefore, the camps are being prepared, that soon there will be no place to keep prisoners in the United States. After all, prisoners are no longer included.
If in the 1980 year in the United States, 220 people were detained for every 100 thousand inhabitants, in 2010, the number of prisoners per capita increased threefold - 741 people per 100 thousand. Analysts point to 2018 as the date of the upcoming social explosion. Most crowded according to Steve Nolan, Californian institutions - in 33 prisons for adults, designed for 80.000 people, contain 140.000 prisoners. By 2018, the “over-standard” number of prisoners is projected to be 45%. Now, according to the Bureau of Prisons Network, prison overcrowding is 39%. Instead of cells, prisoners sleep in the gymnasium classrooms, on beds in sports halls, and in laundry facilities.
The US penitentiary system is also overloaded because the influx of prisoners has increased over the past five years. The cell cells, designed for one, become a haven for three, and bunks rise in three tiers.
In the 1972, there were fewer than 300 thousands of prisoners in the US, 1990 million in 1, and today in the US 2,3 million convicts pushed through prisons (25% of all serving sentences in the world, and this with the US share in the global population of 5%). The number of prisoners per 100 thou. Population brought America to the world's prison leaders. There are half a million more people in prisons in the United States than in China, although the population of China is five times larger than the population of the United States. And if we add to the number of prisoners those Americans who are subject to conditional and parole procedures, it turns out that the punishment system covers a total of 7,3 million people (approximately every fortieth resident of the country). And the 5 of millions of Americans who received sentences are outside of prison — those who did not have enough space behind the bars. Therefore, US prison statistics are often different: sometimes analysts include prisoners and those who do not fit into prisons. And many of these people are repeat offenders ...
The US prison system, on 1 / 10, is private, and, moreover, allowing to “rent” work for private companies, is primarily a business and only the second (or rather, forty-ninth) punishment.
Researcher problem "prison slavery" Vicky Pelaez in the article “Prison business in the USA: big business or a new form of slavery?” indicates:
“These corporations include the very cream of the American corporate community: IBM, Boeing, Motorola, Microsoft, AT & T, Wireless, Texas Instrument, Dell, Compaq, Honeywell, Hewlett-Packard, Nortel, Lucent Technologies, 3Com, Intel, Northern Telecom, TWA, Nordstrom's, Revlon, Macy's , Pierre Cardin, Target Stores and many others. All these companies were enthusiastic about the rosy economic outlook that prison labor promised. From 1980 to 1994, profits rose from $ 392 million to $ 1 billion 31 million. "
Doctor of Economic Sciences V. Katasonov noticesthat the prisoners of the southern states are in a particularly difficult situation, where they continue to work, like slaves, on cotton plantations. The infamous high security prison in the state of Louisiana - "Angola". Her prisoners farm 18 with thousands of acres of land on which cotton, wheat, soybeans and corn are grown. For their labor, the prisoners earn from 4 to 20 cents per hour. Yes, and this is actually taken away from them: they leave half of the money earned, and put the other half into the account of the prisoner for payment to him upon release. But out of the "Angola" units - 3%. Most of those planted have very long terms, in addition to merciless exploitation and poor conditions of detention, they die early.
As for private prisons, in the American press they were dubbed the “prison-industrial complex”. This economic "branch" quickly took a prominent place in the production of many types of products. It’s a paradox, but the US prison industry produces 100% of all military helmets, uniform belts and shoulder belts, body armor, ID cards, shirts, trousers, tents, backpacks and flasks for the army, 46% bulletproof vests. It is likely that future prisoners of the “concentration camps” will be engaged in similar production, thereby strengthening the combat potential of the army, police and DHS, whose forces will actively participate in operations to replenish not only plastic coffins, but also FEMA bases. The circle is closed.
* * *
Thus, subject to the further strengthening and improvement of the American Gulag system in the form of camps, prisons, surveillance technologies, and even the “prediction” of crimes, American corporations can be advised to stop outputting production to China. The economically successful future is here, inside the country. It is in the concrete walls of the chambers, in tents, behind barbed wire. Its price is a few cents per hour. At your service, gentlemen capitalists, workforce for every taste and every need - from a laborer to a programmer.
As for the American government, neither the former presidential candidate Mitt Romney, nor the current President Barack Obama, who in the autumn vied with each other about programs to deal with the crisis and create new jobs, were not fooled. They are honest guys. There are more and more prisoners in America, and more and more, therefore, in the country of new jobs. Very cheap places to which thrifty masters from “Microsoft” or “IBM” simply let their mouth water.
