  • An Interview With Former Guantanamo Detainee David Hicks

    “There will be, in the next generation or so, a pharmacological method of making people love their servitude, and producing dictatorship without tears, so to speak, producing a kind of painless concentration camp for entire societies, so that people will in fact have their liberties taken away from them, but will rather enjoy it, because they will be distracted from any desire to rebel by propaganda or brainwashing, or brainwashing enhanced by pharmacological methods". Aldous Huxley 1962

    boo fucking hoo

    I like how the article doesn't say what he did to end up in there. I'm sure he was just walking his dog in Baghdad....

      Yep.... Just minding his own business.... walking his dog....

      Then Dick Cheney in his "Black" Blackwater chopper personally abducted him in the dead of night for his own personal amusement....

      Whatever....

        According to a linked article, he was an Australian Muslim going to training camps in Afghanistan, and the Northern Alliance sold him to the U.S. for $1,500.

          Shoudla sold him into slavery. I bet with modern technology, you could make a pretty awesome slave collar that would kill him if he tried to escape. You wouldn't even have to keep an eye on him. Then if you come back and he didn't do his work, you could beat him. So he'd do the work, and you'd have a slave that you didn't even have to watch. Our prisoners could be the answer to our economic problems.

            You know we already have for profit prisons, where prisoners work for pennies a day, right? Also, that's a terrible idea, but I can't ever tell if you're fucking around, or you're really as crazy as your posts make you out to be.

              Lol. Yeah but what do those prisoners make? Freaking beads for wristbracelets or something? If that? They are probly getting paid to mop the damn floor. And the "for profit" is just charging the government, so we all get to pay for it. It needs to be set up so that the prisoners are working for the profit of the people, almost directly. Have them farming and producing goods that are sold to pay for their stay. Basically make them be slaves. Until their sentence is up of course, at which time they are completely free. Also let force them to receive some kind of education that can be useful to them once they are free.

              I think that this would dramatically reduce the number of repeat offenders as well. Down to nearly zero. The type of people that go to prison you see, are the types that don't want to do any work. Plus who wouldn't try like hell to not be a slave again?

                Damn! That's seems to be a pretty reasonable price. I could buy a couple of those. I have some major remodeling plans and this could help for sure.

                      Oh my gosh could you be any more pandering towards convicted felons? I think my ideas are great. I don't think they make me crazy. You're crazy like Gary Busey.

                        The brother of a friend of mine made wiring harnesses. He got paid a lot more than I expected for a prisoner, but he didn't see much as it went towards restitution.

                        A few of those private prison companies are publicly traded. At least we have the chance to share in the profits, lulz.
