Fuckweasel Bozos of Ineptitude Hide Under Desks to Avoid Anarchist Prisoner Sean Swain

According to filings in the civil action that Sean Swain’s counsel filed against Ohio prison officials, ODRC Counsel Trevor Clark, commonly known to the world as Trainwreck Trevor, was the “agency liason” to FBI as prison officials subjected Sean to torture. A regimen of state terror was imposed on Sean in response to Sean’s “anarchist” writings and his “ideology.” Also, when those same prison officials selectively blocked Sean’s video visits with Ben Turk, their attorney, “Beerbong Tommy” Miller of the Ohio Attorney General’s State-Terror Defense Bureau, indicated that the Fuckweasel Bozos of Ineptitude were investigating Sean… again. State fascists deflected blame to the FBI.

Sean’s counsel accepted the plausibility of this explanation because the FBI has revealed that they have at least 1,297 pages of investigative files generated on Sean since his imprisonment.

In order to get to the bottom of the matter, Sean put the phone numbers of the FBI into his phone list in the hopes that the FBI would approve Sean to call them. “I even intended to pre-pay for any calls,” Sean said. “It wouldn’t cost them anything.”
But, curiously, the FBI would not permit Sean to call them. Continue reading →

The Long-Delayed Conclusion: Medical “Observation” in the Dark

This is a continuation of this story: OSP PHYSICIAN DOCTOR JAMES KLINE IS A FUCKWEASEL: HOW A QUACK ILLEGALLY DISAPPEARED ME TO THE SUPERMAX DUNGEON TO BREAK ME FOR THE REPRESSIVE GESTAPO HIGH COMMAND

The Long-Delayed Conclusion: Medical “Observation” in the Dark

Welcome to hell.

Of the four “medical observation” cells, I was placed in the one where the other prisoners could not see me. The other three, prisoners can strain their necks to look at one another. The cell I was in, the entrance was set back behind a sink and counter area, isolating me completely even from other prisoners.

The cell door is plexiglass. Inside, the full array of luxuries that compliment the standard torture suite: a fibergass box where prior occupants were strapped down in five-point restraints… a ragged, bare mattress (perhaps with stuffing, perhaps not)… A steel sink-and-toilet combo (perhaps with remnants of prior occupants’ DNA smeared on it, perhaps not)… A half of a roll of toilet paper… A light blasting from the ceiling, all hours of the day and night… A four-inch window that looks out onto an obstruction, allowing no sunlight… A steel shower compartment the size of a phone booth carved into one wall… A camera, high up on the back wall, behind a reflective bubble that looks like a giant insect eye staring at you…

That’s it. The environment in which you will live until further notice.

Do NOT tip the bell-hop. Continue reading →

SOCF Staff: Fascist Fuckweasels or Inept Morons? You Decide.

We’ve got news about Sean’s property and transfer to Lucasville as well as the ongiong legal battle.

1. Call in successful! – last week we called regional director Rob Jeffreys. In response, they held a meeting that very afternoon, and 4A transfer prisoners, including Sean, got most of their property back the following day. Thank you to everyone who called in, and who mailed Sean letters. The fuckweasels brought him a stack of 27 letters they had to spend the morning opening and reading through.

2. Property Destruction – Sean had 37 books when he left OSP. SOCF only allows people to have 10 books, so they arbitrarily threw away 27 of Sean’s books. Which they are allowed to do according to ODRC policy, because ODRC are fascists and like all fascists they like to destroy books. So, it won’t do any good to complain about that. BUT, among the books they threw away was Sean’s Qur’an and Taurat. These they are not allowed to trash because the supreme court has decided that when the constitution says freedom of religion, that means fascists can’t throw Qur’an’s in the garbage. SOCF staff said this was a mistake and even apologized.

Updates…

Call in Day…

On Monday we had a call in day to let the Southeast Regional Office of the ODRC know that SOCF staff were already messing with Sean and that we’d be keeping an eye on things. When supporters didn’t just get voicemail, we were told that they’re getting lots of calls and are having a meeting with people from legal services (trainwreck Trevor’s office) about the issue. This means any fuckweaselry that occurs in the near future was either approved and coordinated from the top, or that the ODRC does not have control of its prisons. Both things seem equally possible. They do have a rather atrocious (deadly even) record of keeping SOCF orderly.

Thank you to everyone who made the calls, we think they’ve made a positive difference.

Speaking of evidence for the lawsuit…

During Sean’s recent hunger strike his lawyer filed a restraining order demanding that the ODRC stop interferring with Sean’s access to communication. The judge appointed to Sean’s lawsuit scheduled a hearing on this motion for this Friday, but Beer Bong Tommy is sick with the flu (or maybe he just partied a little too hardy) and they requested a delay til Fri March 6th. So, now we get to see if the fuckweasels can contain their fascistic impulses for even a week, or if they do something really stupid and embarassing even with a hearing scheduled.

Property…

We’re not hearing from Sean as often because phone calls from SOCF are five times as expensive as from OSP. But we haven’t heard that he (or any of the 4A transfers) got his property back yet. We hope to hear more from him soon.

SUPPORT SEAN RESISTING HARASSMENT AT SOCF

Sean has been transferred to SOCF in Lucasville. We believe this is a response to an injunction filed by his lawyer to unblock video visits and other communication restrictions. We believe this because the Warden at OSP basically admitted it.

His new address is:

Sean Swain
243-205
P. O. Box 45699
1724 St. Rt. 728
Lucasville, Ohio 45699

He likely won’t get any mail that was sent to OSP in the last week.

At Lucasville, Sean has already been singled out and deprived of basic amenities, like clean clothes, hygiene and heat. Continue reading →

Welcome to Lucasville

From The Final Straw Radio

[NOTE: if you want to support Sean, please send him a letter, or call these people and demand they give him his property and cease all harassment.]

I’ve been wearing the same pair of underwear since Tuesday. That night at three in the morning the warden at the super duper max, Jay “Lowdown” Forshay informed me that I was being transferred to Lucasville. Lucasville, home of the 1993 prisoner uprising, is a psychological September Eleventh for the Ohio prison system. It’s also the prison where ODRC officials attempted to put former prisoner writer Timothy “Little Rock” Reed in order to engineer his death until he gained asylum from Ohio in New Mexico, proving conclusively that Ohio prison officials attempted to murder him.

In the lead up to this transfer prison officials tried several times unsuccessfully to silence me. Blocking phone communication for eight weeks to keep me off the radio, intercepting intercepting postings for SeanSwain.org and communications with counsel who filed a civil action against prison officials on my behalf, and then blocking my video visits to stop me from generating video on the site, which is illegal, not that the laws matter to fascists.

In response I undertook a hunger strike until I was threatened with being tossed in the hole, which is illegal, not that laws matter to fascists. So I began a med strike, and then OSP physician James Kline held me incommunicado with medical isolation, in a torture cell, until I agreed to take blood pressure medication I had refused, which is illegal, not that they care.

The Empire Strikes Back!

Within 48 hours of returning from his forced isolation in the medical wing of OSP, Sean was transferred out to SOCF in Lucasville. Any mail sent to Sean in the last few days is going to be coming back to you. Please re-send it to his new address:

Sean Swain
243-205
P. O. Box 45699
1724 St. Rt. 728
Lucasville, Ohio 45699

Sean called this morning with some information, which we’ve reconstructed here as well as possible. We won’t be getting more solid word from Sean until next week, because they’re holding his property until at least Monday. He’s been wearing the same socks and underwear since they transferred him on Tuesday.

Sean is no longer on hunger strike, he’s taking his pills, he had to to get out of the medical wing and back to general population Sunday night.If he wouldn’t have, he thinks they would have transferred him directly from the medical wing, and none of his outside supporters would have gotten any information about where he went or how to find him.

So, instead they transferred him and the rest of 4A, did a rush job, and gave Sean “special treatment” like failing to give him the same clothes as the other prisoners, putting him in a cell with gaps in the window so freezing wind was whistling in all night, and then turning off the heater when he moved his mattress to lie next to it.

Sean and Most of His Security Level Transferred to Lucasville This Morning.

The goon squad came to OSP this morning and took Sean and almost all of the 4A prisoners down to SOCF in Lucasille.

We’re waiting for confirmation, or word from Sean about what is going on. In the meantime, do not write to Sean at OSP, and if you’ve written recently, expect to get your letters returned.

Sean’s new address, if this change is permanent will be:

Sean Swain
243-205
P. O. Box 45699
1724 St. Rt. 728
Lucasville, Ohio 45699

He could definitely use a flood of letters right now, as Lucasville is literally the place the ODRC sends prisoners to die (both by legal execution and extra-legal gang hits, and on rare occasions by historically large uprisings). It is in many ways worse than the supermax.

More info will be coming shortly.

U.S. Military

PULL QUOTE: “Consider, for decades the U.S. has spent more than the next 16 competing nations combined, to build the most obscene military stockpile in human history. Convert that spending into something else that resembles sanity for just a few years, and the U.S. might become a nice place to live.”

From The Final Straw

We are all vigorously trained to think we need government. The principle argument for the necessity of government is that it keeps us safe. Curiously, it’s the greatest threat to our safety. In the U.S., we would be safer if the military didn’t exist.

On September 11, people flew planes into buildings. They didn’t do that in Canada or Belgium, Finland or Luxembourg. Those countries don’t have hundreds of military based around the world. Only the United States.

The people who took responsibility for the attacks cited the injustices of U.S. military incursions and occupations as their primary motivations. Absent a military, those attackers would have had no motive and the U.S. would have been as safe as Finland or Luxembourg. Continue reading →

OSP Physician Dr James Kline is a Fuckweasel

OSP PHYSICIAN DR. JAMES KLINE IS A FUCKWEASEL: HOW A QUACK ILLEGALLY DISAPPEARED ME TO THE SUPERMAX DUNGEON TO BREAK ME FOR THE REPRESSIVE GESTAPO HIGH COMMAND

Part I: “…Like Clowns Taking Pies to the Face…”

This past Friday, 13 FEB, Ohio State Penitentiary physician, Dr. James Kline got bored. He already sharpened and polished the pointed spike on top of the German World War I helmet he wore when marching around his basement, blasting Wagner from his stereo. He had run out of live frogs to staple to the rubber matting, and putting hamsters into the blender feet-first had lost all its excitement. So, he did what any upstanding doctor employed at a super-duper-max would do: He phoned in a regimen of state terror to silence protected protest, like Israel calling in a drone strike on the Gaza Strip.

Lucky me.

But let’s hit the rewind. It started when the Oppressive Department of Retribution and Corruption pulled the plug on the Skype rip-off video visits that Ben Turk scheduled with me to generate video at seanswain.org. Since Gestapo Gary and Trainwreck Trevor are already getting sued for past shenanigans, they couldn’t block content to the site and stick it to me directly, so they got a hapless dipshit named Paul Shoemaker– Sherlock Paulie SuperGenius –to investigate the video that never happened.

I started a stupid hungerstrike. Stupid. My last meal was Superbowl Sunday and if you ever saw this Aramark-Corporation-slop-vomit, you know I’m not missing anything. Likely, my exposure to radioactive isotopes went down. Continue reading →
