Thanks for speaking up.  If this debate is Henrietta vs. the world,
then it is pretty much intractable, but one of the goals (and to some
extent the reality) of us.* is that it is more than just Henrietta.

We’ll make it through somehow.

    things have been carried to far and that those involved should
    step back and take a more objective look at what is

    really Henrietta.  You can’t very well complain about ‘bashing’ when

    Bullshit, the KKK could have posted *anything* but we were censored. We were
    set up for mail bombing and spamming. The hierarchy was run in an utterly
    disgraceful manner. It was a racists and bigots paradise but legitimate
    opinions were ruthlessly suppressed.

    Henrietta was making bogus complaints and trolling and emailing europeans
    telling them the hierarchy was only for americans. She objected strongly to
    criticism of the USA and emailed folks asking them to say nice things. She
    caused a lot of trouble and was extremely one sided.

    Bullshit Henrietta indirectly fostered by her behaviour a regime of abject
    hatred against liberals and europeans and even ethnics in my personal
    opinion. She was utterly disruptive and went trolling against her foes on
    other hierarchies. She was very ambivalent about dirty tricks to the extent
    we regarded it as more of an encouragement than much of a hindrance.

    She made utterly bogus complaints to ISP and was emailing europeans
    reserving the hierarchy exclusively for americans. She was utterly
    unreasonable. If she wanted us.supremacist she needed to form it instead of
    misappropriating a hierarchy designed for the very issues she was censoring.
    All that required was a level playing pitch and common decency. That was
    beyond her talents.

    If you canvass in Vidor Texas for a replacement the continuity might be
    harmoniously maintained in my opinion. Speaking up was the problem. She should
    have been listening rather than leading her troops into battle against
    europeans and ethnics and people talking about politics.

    alt.trigger.guard is all hers if she forms it. What is the point of a charter
    when she just wanted a white exclusive suburb with the odd right wing crazy as
    a muscle boy in case foreigners or dark skinned ethnics came to the door?

    There was no need for the crap that happened. Henrietta started it and
    maintained it and even went trolling for more on other hierarchies until we
    just had enough of the crazy shit.

    Yes it is rough stuff, it was do or die and she made the rules. She tried to
    turn us off. She was laughed at. No surprises there, it is almost a reflex at
    this point.

    Henrietta is NOT in charge of us.politics.  She is in charge of being
    a pain in this irish person’s hairy arse and that is the extent of her
    empire.  Has she the missile launch codes?  

    We’ll need them back. I have a cadre of poor barefoot souls mumbling
    about elections and revolution. One or the other. The evil ice bitch
    will find her palace mobbed by the oippressed and soon it will be
    over.

    If you are the King of Spain why did you pretend you couldn’t speak
    English in Pamplona when I asked why the poor bulls had to die? This
    was 1993, in case you forget. I was carrying a placard and wearing a
    green shirt with a pen in the top pocket that had leaked.

    I think there might be a slight possibility that you are not really
    the King of Spain.

    Not by treating folks like niggers you won’t or by deporting the Bill
    of Rights to a substandard NG. This one is shitty enough as it is.
    However if we all work constructively and ignore Henrietta things
    should improve.

    I for one will not be taking a blind bit of notice of her. I might
    fling the odd rebuke but she is no longer running things around here.
    We need to attract back the folks driven away by the suburban white
    racist shit.

    Of course Henrietta might just do a few bogus complaints on her own behalf
    based on nothing more than personal dislike and bigotry. She will not
    complain about right wing racists or kooks. She will let them do what the
    hell they like. Pity any Hawaiian who comes along thinking that their
    concerns might heaven forbid be us,politics material. Nope that sort of
    ethnic shit won’t be tolerated on the new improved and very white
    us.politics. We’ll be telling the europeans to go away as well.

    Essentially correct, but it goes way beyond women. The manner in which
    mandatory minimum laws were designed virtually guarantees that it’s
    the smallest fish who receive the largest sentences, regardless of the
    sex of the offender. The big enchilidas always have names to offer
    rapacious prosecutors, while the guy or gal who drove the car for a
    set fee doesn’t know diddly.

    I think the rest are county. Look at how many strip searches are done
    here. It is *one* jail. Bad reputation as well. Is it opposite gender?
    Funny it is only the females being strip searched. Strip searching women
    must hold some attraction that strip searchinng men doesn’t. I wonder
    what that can be. I think that you might double your figure. The sexual
    abuse of women in county prisons is horrific. Some of the inmate stories
    are so appalling. I have no doubt that some very abusive institutions
    need a full crew of depraved sadists and sex perverts as no normal soul
    could tolerate the horror of it.

    ICAR

                        Between 1994 and 1996 12,000 women inmates at the
                        Cook County Jail were strip searched after returning
    from court
                        hearings. Of this group, many had been relereleased
    at their
                        hearings or had their cases dismissed. They were
    marched right
                        back into jail and subjected to the humilation of a
    strip search
                        before being let go. The fact that this was
    happening was not
                        disputed by Cook County Sheriff Michael Sheahan. A
    class
                        action suit was filed on behalf of the women by a
    Chicago
                        Attorney. Cook County Jail spokesman, Bill Cunnigham
                        defended this practice by saying that the strip
    search policy
                        was similar to procedures at other detention
    centers. US District
                        Court Judge David Coar agreed with the plaintiffs
    that this was a
                        violation of their 14th amendment right to equal
    protection under
                        the law because Cook County male inmates were not
                        subjected to strip searches under identical
    circumstances.
                        Males make up 90 percent of the popluation at Cook
    County
                        Jail. Judge Coar gave the Sheriff 15 days to submit
    ot the court
                        a decision on whether all males returning from court
    would be
                        strip searched before they were returned to their
    cells or
                        whether all such searches would stop. Did they hang
    their
                        heads in shame as well they well they should? No,
    the
                        attorneys for the sheriff’s office decided that they
    were going to
                        review the decision and said in all likelihood they
    would appeal.
                        My dear Sgt. Walt give me one good reason why women
    who
                        were released should be strip searched? And in a
    hundred
                        words or less tell me why this does not constitute
    abuse.

    I agree with you in part and disagree with you in part.
    The "War on Drugs" as well as "The War on Sex" are both, in my opinion,
    forms of religious persecution and have their strongest support amongst
    the religious communities which have strong ties to law enforcement and
    the legislative process. Narcotics are bad for your mental and physical
    health. However, narcotics abuse should be treated as a medical problem
    not a legal one. Consensual sexual behavior between adults, whether of a
    commercial nature or not, is a "victimless behavior" which satisfies the
    needs of both. There is no reasonable argument, therefore, for the
    criminalization of narcotics which should be taxed, regulated, and
    controlled to prevent the associated real crime associated with the
    criminalization of the same , the corruption of our criminal justice
    system because of the criminalization of the same, the extensive
    corruption within the criminal justice system caused by the same, and
    the unnecessary criminalization of large portions of our population
    because of the same.
    You imply that women are treated prejudicially within the criminal
    justice system in comparison to men. However, that is not the case. Men
    are incarcerated at a much higher rate than women. Men, in general,
    receive much harsher sentences than women for the same type and severity
    of crime and are convicted at a significantly higher rates in comparison
    to women.
    The fact that many female prisoners ( and male prisoners) have children
    should not be an excuse for granting them deferential treatment within
    the criminal justicesystem. Neither society nor the children of these
    convicts should have to pay for the irresponsibility of these men and
    women with regard to their child bearing. Many law abiding people, like
    myself, have decided not to have children because to do so imposes a
    responsibility to support the same financially and emotionally. For
    society to reward those who do not live up to this responsibility
    is unjust to society and the children.
    But I tend to agree with you that the oppressive nature of the war on
    drugs and the war on sex is extremely unjust and unreasonable and is
    having a extremely deleterious affect on individuals who would otherwise
    live law abiding and normal lives.

    America is leading the world in the sexual abuse of female prisoners by
    corrections officers. I think that is an important factor. America is at the
    very frontier of naked barbarism with respect to this genre of abuse.

    America has the most abusive female prisons ever developed in a western
    modern democracy and they are so abusive one must look very hard to find
    third world systems as bad. I think Burma and the Sudan might be two of the
    few examples.

    I think women serve the same sentences for drugs as men. I think they do
    this even if they are coerced by men. I think women who defend themselves
    from abusive men are very harshly punished in the USA. When was the last
    time you read about a woman pimp? Women are coerced more often than men.
    They are less violent and less abusive.

    > The fact that many female prisoners ( and male prisoners) have children

    They suffer more because they are liable to sexual abuse from their guards
    and there is often  zero provision made for their basic health needs. Women
    are even prevented from shaving their legs or underarm hair in places on a
    regular basis and must strip to the waist like men during cell searches in
    places (we have been told) and this is equality gone mad.

    They are often used for sado recreational and sexual pleasure by their male
    guards. In Cook County the females are stripped and the men are not
    stripped. A perverse state of affairs. I think there were 12,000 of these in
    a little over a year. There are a great many sex offenders within the
    corrections profession and this is distinguishable possibly from the male
    prisons were abuses are often inmate on inmate.

    Opposite gender searches affect women more as well due to rape trauma and
    abuse trauma and having ones breasts and vagina poked and manipulated by a
    man is slightly different to a man having his chest felt. Women shower with
    menstrual blood running down their legs and must use sanitary inserts with
    men watching and men do not really endure similar.

    Women are more vunerable to sexual coercion that is an established fact and
    a young naked girl in a cell with an all powerful corrections officer is
    slightly more intimidated than a man being in a similar position with a
    female CO. Women are different to men and the male CO because of biological
    and reflexive sexual imperatives which have an intensity not matched in any
    other primate is different to the female CO. The girl even in the best of
    circumstances
    is in very real danger.

    There is no system to redress any abuses that take place and the girls
    suffer almost universal punishment and retaliation. I am now working full
    time on prisons abuses both in the third world and the USA and to be
    perfectly frank one rarely finds so many reported abuses in the third world
    to the extent they exist in the USA.

    In theory in a lot of the third world abuses that are ‘legitimate" in the
    USA are illegal for example. In the USA sexual abuse can be cloaked in
    legitimacy. In India it needs to be perpetrated in the knowledge it is
    illegal. Sexual abuse is part of the salary to many COs. That is why they
    are fighting so very hard to retain these benefits.

    I have no doubt that other countries are better at keeping secrets and many
    kill the women they abuse but nonetheless the USA has genuinely earned her
    place in the front ranks of sexual abusers of female prisoners. Many of the
    abuses are actually legitimate and sex offenders join the corrections
    profession and find their "art" is adequately catered for by the standing
    orders. They do not need masks in the park. They get paid to sexually abuse.

    Excellent post and brings to my mind the thought "If these folks have so
    much "FAITH" don’t they realize the basic ingrediant in most "faith based"
    philosophy is those that sin against the fiath will be punished by the rule
    and law Giver? It seems a loss of faith to feel one must intervene and use
    hyman power to exact that punishment set asise for on High to extract.

    I feel such sympathy for folks who carry on their minds that need to do such
    work that the burden follows them to work and keeps them awake nights trying
    to figure out who is commiting "sin" and how they are required to put a stop
    to it.

    I find it a terrible burden to control my own desire to engage in frolicing
    licensciou behaviour and did carry aburden during the parenting days of just
    trying to keep my children on a path free from fear of that awful Law
    Giver’s wrath.

    Can’t imagine trying to do it for the whole of mankind. Especially if I had
    to go to work everyday amoungst those "labeled" sinners. Jeeeezzz!

    Mandatory sentences mean just that. That is a fact. I think all the time, try
    it.

    They pimp women though and are very rare.  Women are the most exploited
    gender. Females don’t as a rule pimp males. Males pimp females and are very
    common.
