Truth from a Prison Camp Inmate

Being a former Federal Prison Camp Inmate I saw first hand and witnessed how much corruption and injustice has come upon the American
people. The lady of justice is no longer blind folded holding an honest scale, she now wears blinder and only sees what she is told based on favors, prejudice and partiality.

Reports show that we are now a nation that incarcerates their citizens more than any other nation in the world. Prisons and jails are full to capacity and the BOP in my opinion is now a business that continues to grow by building more. Where is this money coming from with most citizens in prison and a national debt that is out of control.

I grew up with the knowledge that people were innocent until proven guilty but now with unjust conspiracy, false accusations, grand jury hearing only one side, intimidation by some lawyers and courts many innocent men, women and even teenagers are now incarcerated and marked from having good and productive jobs to support their families. I felt the pain of many men who watch their children cry because daddy could not go home with them.

As a Native American Indian and now a former federal prison camp inmate it saddens me and my heart grieves to see this great land and nation founded on the principles of God and His word to become a nation of sin. God is now no longer in most of the public schools and court rooms because law makers have kicked Him out. God please forgive us and this nation!

Make sure you know who lives next door to you!

Welcome to the age of technology. It’s a new world where you can find out all you desire about anyone, just by delving into cyberspace. This may sound a bit extreme, but you’d be surprised what you can find out with simple public records searches. For me, this process concerns history. I want to know a little about yours if you’re residing next door. After all, I have a few kids to watch after, and I need to know if you’re someone I should be wary of. Any parent on this planet should feel the same way. It’s a basic intuition. No one with a family wants to live next door to someone who has been previously convicted of lewd acts with minors, or attempted lewd acts. It’s just not safe. On the other hand, doing public records searches on your neighbours can be quite shocking. You’ll most likely discover that a few of them are convicted sexual predators. Especially if you research your area by a 10 mile radius or more. I did exactly this and found out that three lived near by.

Employers take advantage of public records searches all the time. They want to know if the individual they’re interviewing is a past criminal, or has been brought up on charges for theft or drugs abuse. Makes sense when you think about it. As a citizen, you can take advantage of online public records searches as well. Find out if that old man living three houses down is really as odd as folks claim he is. Knowing who lives near you and what they’re capable of grants you the upper hand in the situation. Live safe and be wary of your neighbours. The world isn’t what it used to be.
