McDonalds Workers and Alabama Prisoners

From The Final Straw Radio.

I’m on a complete communications blackout, so I have access to very limited news brought to me mostly by Walt Disney News Corporation, designed to keep all of us hypnotized and under control. But, I’ve heard bits and pieces about some events that involve McDonalds’ workers and Alabama prisoners. I don’t know the details of those situations, but why should that stop me?

I think what’s transpiring with regard to McDonalds’ workers and Alabama prisoners is monumental and signals the beginning of something big. Here’s why:

In the 1990s, large corporations took advantage of international trade deals, moving jobs to locations that gave them greater advantages. They shipped U.S. jobs to Mexico, then Mexican jobs to India, then Indian jobs to China. It was a “race to the bottom.” In fact, today, manufacturing jobs aren’t located in any one country but are, instead, in a state of constant migration. There’s now such a large pool of unemployed and desperate people in the U.S. that those jobs are circling back around on a second tour, returning at sweatshop wages. All of this was driven by a larger corporate strategy, of course, as corporations amassed more wealth that translated as more power, and the rest of us were left powerless and sleeping in our cars… if we were lucky to have a car. The corporations now hold everyone hostage, making outrageous demands for tax breaks and for subsidies, for workers to take pay cuts and give up benefits… or they’ll pack up and leave for greener pastures.

Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop!

cswsThere’s lots of new stuff at SeanSwain.org!

Want to see a basic chronology of what’s been going on in the war of attrition between Sean and certain central office fuckweasels? Look here: http://seanswain.org/chronology/

How about Sean’s proposal of how to settle the A12M lawsuit before things get any more out of hand? That’s here: http://seanswain.org/sean-proposes-settlement-of-lawsuit/

Wanna see the argument Sean used to win a reduction in his security level? I think you do, it includes COs running around naked and shooting roman candles out of their ass cracks: http://seanswain.org/open-statement-related-to-security-review-scheduled-for-june-9-2015/

Sean’s most recent philosophical treatise is a twelve page deposition to the courts, in which he tries to explain anti-civ anarchism to the poor deluded hierarchs in a language they might understand. Wanna read it? http://seanswain.org/seans-deposition-to-the-courts/

Effective Until: PERMANENTLY!

visitation-restBen Turk received a letter from Toledo Correctional, following up on his restriction from visitation. It’s a form he received after June 10th informing him that he’s got until seven days after June 2nd to appeal his removal from BlackJack’s visitor list.

None of the other prisons in Ohio bothered to send this form, but Toledo, where Sean was held captive, beaten, and tortured years ago and is probably still known and resented seemed to relish the fact. The original letter from central office said Ben would be restricted “indefinitely” but ToCI staff used caps lock and bold to indicate that the restriction is “effective until: permanently!”

Children Draw Pictures for Sean…

drawingSome friends in Minneapolis sent Sean a handful of children’s drawings, which he then sent out to be scanned and shared with the world. Unfortunately, we never received the package. Must be some CO or inspector hates children, and creativity. Not really a big surprise.

Anyway, we do have this one drawing, it’s batman and green lantern punching cops in the butt.

If you have any young anti-authoritarian artists in your life, have them send Sean some mail! We imagine there are few things more demoralizing to the fascist fuckweasels who open and inspect all Sean’s mail than knowing that future generations hate them already. Or at least wanna see superheroes punch them in their butts.

Sean Fingers the Creator of BlastBlog.NoBlogs.org

In a stunning turnaround, Sean Swain has decided to cooperate with the state! He has written and submitted the following declaration, in which he shares who he believes to be the author of Blast!Blog, where various fuckweasels’ private info got reposted a few weeks ago.

Cops, Guards and the 99%

billiejoeOriginally aired on The Final Straw.

A corrections officer who listens to the Final Straw broadcast religiously once told me that correctional officers are part of the 99%. You know, the 99%, that broad majority that Occupy brilliantly claimed to represent in contrast to the privileged 1%. This corrections officer made a very similar argument to the one presented by Ass-Clown, lead singer of the poser band, Green Douche. Billy Joe class traitor said police are part of the 99%.

In one sense, this is seemingly true. Cops and guards are union members. They make a wage for their labor. They live on the same streets as teachers and plumbers and sanitation workers. None of them live in lavish homes in gated communities along with the world’s ruling elite. Cops and guards, by this standard are working stiffs like everyone else.

Except they’re not.

Look, to some greater or lesser degree, we all keep the slavery system running. All of us. I get that. We’re all plugged in, forced to drag stones up the side of the pyramid for food rewards. We all work and shop and die. The system, in that sense, has all of us hugging our own chains and digging our own graves, whether we like it or not. There’s just no getting around it.

CDs Blocked

spankyThe mailroom at SOCF is illegally and improperly preventing Sean from receiving two CDs that people sent to him. He wrote

This Open Letter

about it. If you like chatting with or otherwise bothering trifling prison fascists, give SOCF a call and demand that they let Sean get the CDs that have been sent to him.

SOCF (740) 259-5544 ask for the mailroom.

Or try Steven “Spanky” Grey in legal services at 614-752-1765 and ask if his pal Trainwreck Trevor is behind blocking up Sean’s mail, as usual.

Sean’s Deposition to the Courts

weasel courtBy know you know that Sean Swain believes in political violence, whichever way you want to define it. But, after reading this twelve page deposition to the courts, in which he attempts to convince the deluded hierarchs at the federal district court house to stop believing in civilization and other hierarchical nonsense (using poetry no less) you just may suspect he believes in writing as well.

Let’s Talk About Political Violence

washtington

See a funny video of George the terrorist here: https://youtu.be/l7iVsdRbhnc

Originally aired on The Final Straw Radio

In 2013, ODRC Counsel Trevor Clark told me that Americans are not permitted to advocate violence. More recently, a federal judge said we are only allowed to advocate political change through peaceful means. I’m assuming that “peaceful” equates with “nonviolent.” All of this indicates that poor, deluded hierarchs believe that political violence is not legitimate.

So, what is “political violence”? According to my dictionary, violence is “the exertion of force to cause harm or injury.” That’s the violence half of political violence. My dictionary defines “political” as “of or relating to the affairs of the government.” So, that’s the political half. We put that together and I think we have a decent working definition of political violence: “The exertion of force to cause harm or injury, of or related to the affairs of government.” So, there you have it.

Poor, deluded hierarchs keep telling me that the crux of the problem is my “belief in political violence,” my belief in the exertion of force to cause harm or injury, of or related to the affairs of government. And I’m not quite sure what hierarchs mean by that. Continue reading

Sean Proposes Settlement of Lawsuit

Sean and various ODRC have been in a lengthly legal battle following the A12M frame up.

After someone anonymously released the defendants’ and Judge’s personal info on the internets, Sean is proposing that the lawsuit be settled before things get out of hand.

Find the scan of his letter here.

TEXT:

June 8, 2015

Dear Mr. Kerger:

In the light of recent events, I think it is necessary for everyone involved in this situation to recognize that we have reached a precarious stage where neither defendants nor I have any way to determine what will happen next. The posting of Judge Pearson’s home address is a signal that we have reached a point where persons or property could come to harm, and therefore, I think, we have to be ready to make concessions in order to resolve this situation once and for all.

I have devoted myself to constructing a framework for defendants and I to resolve this case to the benefit of everyone involved, including Judge Pearson. I send a copy to you and to Ben Turk. Please review and provide copies to defendants and to Judge Pearson since she is directly impacted by resolution of this case.

I hope this schedule is acceptable to defendants. I hope they will present a counter-proposal for us to review quickly, as we do not know what will happen next, nor when it will happen.

With regard to the level 2 prison to which I am transferred, I would suggest that Marion Correctional is optimal. First, Marion has a “zero tolerance” for misconduct which assures defendants that I will be on my best behavior. Additionally,Marion has the broadest assortment of programs, including religious programs to which I can avail myself, since my conversion to Islam in 2013.

By this proposal, we make a number of concessions that we are not legally required to make, to include purging objectionable materials from the website and voluntarily submitting my writings for approval prior to publication. I believe this is necessary because, ultimately, what matters is resolving this case to the benefit of everyone before something happens that cannot be undone.

I hope this schedule is acceptable.

Thank you for your kind consideration,

Sincerely,

Sean Swain

c: Ben Turk

Proposed Schedule for Resolution

Immediately: My June 11th statement which prison officials found objectionable is withdrawn from the website. The conduct report written by Inspector Paul Shoemaker is withdrawn. Communications mediums are restored to facilitate my compliance with these terms and Ben Turk’s communications and visiting privileges are restored.

One Week From the Date This Proposal is Presented to Defendants: Ben Turk and defendants identify all materials that make mention of the Army of the Twelve Monkey’s, the disciplinary process at Mansfield, prison conditions during that process, the communication bans that followed, and criticisms of prison officials involved in the Twelve Monkey pretext, for removal from the site.

Also, I compose an open letter for posting that requests removal of personal/sensitive information online, and that those who support my eventual release refrain from future postings, considering the impact it will have on my parole considerations.

One Week Later: Director Mohr reverses, without prejudice, the disciplinary cases challenged in this action. Upon receipt of those reversals, the objectionable materials purged from seanswain.org and the open letter is posted. Plaintiff’s counsel files a motion in limine requesting voluntary dismissal of civil action on condition that defendants do not rehear the disciplinary cases but instead hold a security review to adjust security downward,beginning with the 2013 review, absent the reversed cases.

As Soon as Practicable: I am transferred to a level 2 facility. From my arrival until September 1,2016, all of my writings for publication will voluntarily be submitted for prior approval to prison officials.
