Rethinking the Idea of Ownership of Prisons – 

Cooperative Ownership

Through the Eyes of Women: What a Co-operative Can Mean in Supporting Women During Confinement and Integration

http://usaskstudies.coop/socialeconomy/?page_id=1495

This is a tremendously promising idea.

One of the things that always disturbed me most about Anarcho-Capitalism was the promulgation of the idea of privatized prisons and police forces.  was stuck in the concept of private ownership when I rejected the idea out-of-hand. We see the results of private ownership of prisons and militias and they are nightmarish.

However, the integration of the concept of Co-Operative in the ownership of prisons and police forces is entirely different.

Let's concentrate in the space of this preliminary discussion on prisons.

If prisons are Cooperatively owned, they will be owned by a group of people who are essentially different in their weltanschauung than are Capitalists. Moreover, there will be a number of people supervising the project. Additionally, that Cooperative will no doubt be part of a cooperative Network, which will provide moral, as well as economic, checks and balances.

Earning shares in the Cooperative prison can be integrated into the Rehabilitation process. As prisoners show more identification with society and willingness to be part of society, they earn the right to be owners, and therefore decision-makers, in the prison.

Training in various other types of Cooperatives can be offerred in prisons and job opportunities in Cooperatives will be part of the process of release from prisons.

This discussion was initiated in a group called Cooperatives on LinkedIn.

The idea is not just for women, of course. I'm offerring this article because it is the only article I know of that considers the idea of Cooperative prisons.

WARNING:
FACEBOOK
Exposes Photos of Children

Activists are being closed out of Facebook and their profiles labelled Spam left and right.
One of the excuses Facebook gives when they do this is that the activist is impersonating himself or herself and isn't who they claim to be.
When Facebook accuses someone of hacking others' accounts and identities, they are told they must identify photos that their Friends have tagged in order to be allowed to access the account.

Among the photos presented are not only photos of their Friends, but photos of Minor Children that may be tagged in their photo albums.
I have screen shots to prove this.

The Palestinians are Not Stateless. 

They are STATEFREE -
And Why That's a Huge Advantage

My Husband and I were discussing the Issue of Statelessness.

It occurred to me, as an Israeli, that Statelessness can have decided Advantages; if one sees the matter properly and sees the Opportunity therein.

After learning that the British "gentlemen" who debated ratifying the Balfour Declaration decided to vote in favor of the creation of the State of Israel on the proviso that it functioned as the "Ulster of the ME"; I realized that becoming a State is only possible if the established powers can integrate that State into the International Munitions (and probably Drugs) Markets.

The Jews were freer to be Moral when we did NOT have a State. We were not more vulnerable when we were not concentrated in one small geographical area either.

My Husband suggested calling people who are not bound by citizenship in a State STATE-FREE, instead of Stateless.

There are many STATE-FREE Peoples all over the world and, if they reach out to one another, including to the many SEPARATIST Movements around the world, they could become a Force to Be Reckoned With.

The strength of the Multinational Banks and Corporations resides precisely in their being Supra-National.

To fight them, we need Supra-National Businesses, which STATE-FREE People can form.

My recommendation to the PALESTINIANS is to reach out to other STATE-FREE Peoples instead of insisting upon Statehood, which will require that you give up your Morality and accept other constraints that you will come to hate.

Reach out the the Basques who run the Cooperative MONDRAGON - a tremendously successful Cooperative.

Reach out to the Frisians.

Reach out to the Sami.

Reach out to the Roma.

There are so many, MANY STATE-FREE Peoples in the world.

Reach out and do not allow yourselves to be limited by artificial borders.

Instead of being one Organ in the Body of Humanity, limited in place, become the Lifeblood of Humanity, present and essential Everywhere.

Life NeverEnding

The beginning of True Knowledge comes with the understanding that Everything around us a Alive. Indeed, it is Life Itself and we are utterly surrounded by it and an integral Organ of it.
Space is Alive.
History is Alive.
Language is Alive.
The structures around us, the building, the streets, the instruments we use - all of it - are our living flesh, the organs we create in our own image to sustain ourselves.
We realize that there is no political action - there is only Life serving and preserving Action or the futility of trying to limit Life.
When we realize the immensity of Life, the absoluteness of Life, that Life is Everyone and Every Thing we first feel ourselves overwhelmed and drowning in an Infinite Miasma of teeming Life Never-Ending. We then realized that we have not drowned in that Infinite Sea and that we cannot be drowned in it. Then we feel absorbed. Then we overcome with Sacred Awe as we surrender to Life and pledge our Loyalty to its furtherance and blossoming.

Let's Talk Honestly About Abortion

This is a very interesting case:

Inside the Controversy Over Man Charged with Murder for Slipping an Abortion Pill to Pregnant Girlfriend

http://www.alternet.org/gender/inside-controversy-over-man-charged-murder-slipping-abortion-pill-pregnant-girlfriend?akid=10456.227358.e7MR72&rd=1&src=newsletter842428&t=9

Why is with ending the life of an unborn child in someone else's body first degree murder, while ending the life of a child in one's own body the right of a woman to do with her body as she wishes?
Why is a father killing his unborn child a shocking crime, while a mother ending her child's life a simple medical procedure - no biggy?I guess this case had to happen to jar people's consciousness and begin to deal wit the reality of Abortion.
Straight up: I think that abortion not in the case of a woman's life being truly threatened by the pregnancy or in the case of incest or rape - I'm talking about abortion for convenience - is the worst kind of premeditated Murder there is and the women who do it the coldest-blooded and dangerous premeditated killers on the planet.
Abortion for convenience is not just Murder - it is the Ultimate Atrocity - orders of magnitude more terrible than any other murder.The nonchalance and banality with which the Atrocity of Abortion is treated, the trivialization of this act of Ultimate Brutality, even on the part of anti-abortionists who treat it like "normal", murder shocks and appalls me.
Abortion is not only the termination of an absolutely helpless life - it is the termination of GENERATIONS of lives, the absolute obviating of life that will never be because of the abortion for unknown time.

Perhaps the sheer magnitude of the Crime of Abortion is too much for most people to allow their emotional structures and minds to deal with.The worst part of it for me is that I have to say this.
No one goes further than calling Abortion Murder.
It's beyond Murder.
There isn't even a word for this level of Genocide.


What people don't understand is that Pregnancy is not one stage in life.
We are all Feti, still hooked up to a Support System that we are struggling to become strong enough to do without, to wit: banks, business, gov't.
Do we not become incensed when we become a nuisance to The System and it decides to abort one of us?
But at our level of development, we have *some* means of defending ourselves. An embryo or fetus has none.

Let's stop being PC about Abortion and let's snap ourselves out of the trance laid upon us about the Issue of Abortion.
There is a reason why matters are arranged such that abortion is the most difficult form of the termination of life to commit.
In order to commit an Abortion, a woman must be willing to have her own flesh torn into in order to kill her child.
Anyone who is capable of so much hate for Life that she is willing to wound herself like that to harm an innocent life, her own child no less, is unspeakably Evil.

The Internet Understood
As a Vein in an Umbilical Cord

It occurred to me that the Internet is one of the main veins in the Umbilical Cord leading to us from the Placenta that is currently feeding us, to wit: all of the Systems that we rely upon for sustenance, protection and to get rid of our crap for us - particularly banking, finance, gov't.

We think that we need the Internet in order to get and share information, that it is the actual medium that makes communication all over the planet possible.
But, in truth, it is only supporting us while we develop the organs we need to communicate on a much higher level without this medium.

While we are on the internet we are learning to communicate globally. Our organs for carrying out this communication are growing and getting stronger every day.

We are beginning to resent the Systems that support us terribly and we feel that they are squeezing us because we are very close to being able to sustain ourselves without them. Those life support systems: banking, the business world and government, are in a state of advanced Placental Insufficiency. So, we feel that we are in danger and, to be honest, we are.

How and Why The Police 

Engender and Perpetuate Violence

How Cops see themselves:
Why Cops are "Pricks"
http://www.apbweb.com/featured-articles/2390-why-cops-are-qpricksq.html

We need to understand what a Cop is on a far deeper level than they can understand themselves.

A person who works in Aquaponics sees lovely fish and vegetables every day. In fact, he sees more and more of it every day. He sees more fish and vegetables at the end of three years than we will probably see in a lifetime.
What kind of people go into Aquaponics? Was this person drafted into becoming an Aquaponics grower?

The writer sees words every day. In fact, he sees more and more words every day. He sees more words at the end of three years than we will probably see in a lifetime.
What kind of people do into writing? Was this person drafted into becoming writer?

A cop sees crime every day. In fact, he sees more and more crime every day. He sees more crime at the end of three years than we will probably see in a lifetime.
What kind of people do into "crime fighting"? Was this person drafted into becoming a cop?

An office worker is someone who comes to work, sees huge pile of paperwork and imagines that his goal is to have a clear desk at the end of the day.
But, *the very nature of his office work engenders more paperwork*. The office worker's work makes more like itself.
And, the bottom line is: The office worker wants it that way, though he tells himself he wants a clear desk, because if he ever did clear all the paperwork away; he'd be sent home that very day.
There are certain types of people who are on a level to generate more busy, really unnecessary work. They become office workers.

A Cop tells himself that what he wants is to mop up crime, so he's going into "crime fighting". But the truth is, *his job engenders more crime*. Not only is that true of the work, in-and-of-itself, if it were not true, the cop would be out of a job. And they like it that way.
The Police are Evil because they are people who are attracted to ugly, violent, vulgar, brutal, disgusting things that already exist and their work *engenders more in the world* and *they like it like that*.

"Car accident, homicide, rape, robbery, baby mama drama, baby daddy drama, family dispute over who gets the last pork chop that winds up with a dinner guest sporting a steak knife in the chest, a kid that goes missing or runs away, a Dad who gets tanked up and uses Mom as a speed bag, a drug overdose, hostage situations...every despicable thing that one human being can do to another is what the police are immersed in every day."

Are you immersed in this every day?

How often do you experience such things?

Not often? Me either!

Know why?

Because we don't have the *attraction* to these horrors in our souls.

Cops have a level of attraction to this so high, they experience it every single day, if not they themselves then through the reports than come into their departments.

Understand what the quote says is not about Humanity as a whole, as they believe and want us to believe, but about COPS.

We all increase in the world that which we love. Cops LOVE THIS SHIT.
Show me the frequency and intensity of crime that any individual cop is exposed to and I'll tell you the character of that particular cop.

But they are all organs of the same disease-addled body - some organs are more diseased, some less.

 We can have no illusions about them being workers, like us, or that they will come around and realize they are being used and will use their training to protect us against The System.  Police are low-IQ Psychopaths. They are the Psychopaths that don't have the smarts to go into Banking or Big Business or even Politics. They are the scum-eating bottom feeders among the Psychopaths. They can't "turn around".
