On the prison camps
I am broke. Shit broke, meaning I can't shit beacuse I haven't had much to eat lately. Lack of shit plays with your brain as much as lack of food. Lack of food is only desire, and desire can make you do some crazy things, but lack of shit is neurotism. "When will I shit again?" "Will I ever shit again?" "What's wrong with me?" "Will my intestines burst?" "Will my mind shut up?"
And now I write, desire neglected as I've done for some time, but neurotism running wild and having read what the crack pots have to say. 'Fnords' they could all be called, but then if everything designed to press you into action or inaction by use of fear was a fnord, one of those fnords would eventually catch up with you and bite you in the ass. So I'll reserve 'fnord' for the mainstream media and stories on bird flue, global warming, terrorists, abducted children, etc. and refer to Alex Jones, American Samidzat, and the like as 'crack-pot.' That's not to say I think they are wrong or sensational, in fact when I'm eating and shiting I usually think they've figured a lot things out correctly. But that's not the case today.
So I read. There are prison camps in the dessert. Prison camps in the mountains. Prison camps in the Carribean. Prison camps in Eastern Europe. It's the first two that get me, though: prison camps in the USA.
And they're empty, we're told.
Told.
How can I determine whether or not they are real, whether or not they will be used for any particular purpose, whether or not I'll wind up in one and get something to eat that'll probably make me shit until it hurts?
Abu Gharib.
A prison. Not a camp, no, but a prison that nearly anyone will tell you exists. And pretty much everyone will also agree on what happened in the prison. Not on specific occurences, no, not everyone thinks little boy were raped by light sticks in front of their parents, but nearly everyone will agree that what happened there was 'wrong.' 'Bad things happened.' 'Bad people did bad things.'
How do we know?
Photos.
Photos from Abu Gharib, though the real location (if different) doesn't matter, as will soon be clear.
Why did they let the guards bring in cameras? Why did they let the guards take pictures of prisoners being tortured? Why did they allow the photos to be released?
Photos of American prison guards doing 'bad things.'
Photos from Abu Gharib (in Iraq) serving as a prison camp in our minds (in the USA).
I'll say that again: phots from the other side of the world serving the role of prisons HERE.
The ultimate fnord.
Though if you're hungry, this prison won't feed you. But it might make you shit your pants.
