But consider this: when government deliberately deprives people of educational and economic opportunities in anticipation of crime, making arrests, charging fines, pursuing criminal convictions in court, enforcing free labor on prison farms, this is called involuntary servitude and slavery!

When government knows that failure to provide educational and economic opportunities to people creates social problems such as poverty, domestic violence and crime and fails to give the people the resources they need be successful, this is government misconduct and violates the will of the people!

Just like they have Cops, CSI, 48 and others to tell us their perverted, racist, bigoted, right- wing views and fake news about crime and justice, we need to write out our own script, produce our own films and documentaries to show the people and the world Our Story as well as to provide an alternative view of justice and how to solve and/or prevent crime. If jails and prisons are not the solution to the problems that the vast majority of white people have, neither is it for us!

Alongside of the Drug War and among the strategies used to persecute Black Americans and poor people is the War Against Poverty. The War Against Poverty is another sinister strategy planned, designed, and implemented by the U.S. government that supposed to clean away poverty, integrate the people, and assure equality of rights but in practice ended up taking away funding from president Lyndon B. Johnson's Great Society anti-poverty program and redirected it to law-enforcement, jail and prison construction. Ronald Reagan, both of the Bushes and Clinton administrations together built a Prison Empire that today holds more blacks than the plantation system in the old antebellum South. It is reasonable to conclude that America's perverted Drug War and War Against Poverty in practice constitutes re-enslavement and the forced labor of blacks on prison farms in this country. Indeed, this amounts to another form of slavery!

The War On Drugs is American History! People need to be told the whole truth about how U.S. borders became saturated with dope, and that it was the CIA, Ronald Reagan and then vice-president George Bush that flooded American streets with dangerous, mind-altering narcotics with the intent to corrupt the morals of the people, especially Black Americans. Equally important too is for the American people to learn that after the government planned and influenced their corruption and addiction to drugs, drug distribution, and drug-related crimes of violence, it was the same damn government that then turned around and started a get-tough-on-crime movement, giving the states more resources to build jails and prisons, giving local governments more funding to expand its law-enforcement operations to go after its target: African Americans and the poor!

In television programs like Cops, CSI, 48, the gangland channel and others, they show us stories about gang-related violence, drug-related violence, and how dangerous crime and criminals are on our streets. They would have us believe that the "victims" of poverty and inequality are the criminals who are our enemies and must be gotten rid of. However, what they don't tell us and will never admit to is the role that government plays in creating crime and criminals on our streets through its perverted policy on the War On Drugs, the War Against Poverty, the Iran and Nicaragua Contras drugs-for-weapons- program to undermine, vilify, and destroy Black Leadership and social chance movements.
