16 hours in the torture chamber

by Shiva Bhairava

On Sept. 22, 2014, I again became a victim of Amerikan Nazi prison police. First, Officer Akers sexually harassed the entire unit – most of which is New Afrikan – by conducting a striptease in which we were ordered to “squat and cough and spread your buttocks open,” solely for the sadomasochistic pleasure of Officer Akers. Let me explain that I am in Red Onion State Prison (ROSP), which is a euphemism for koncentration kamp. I protested, and in return for my protest I was put in “five-point restraints,” stark naked into a totally empty cell, just concrete and steel.

Five-point restraints

The cold air conditioning was deliberately turned up and the water was turned off and I was left in this torture chamber for 16 hours.

This state-conducted terrorism is a state-sanctioned practice and crime that is vigorously applied by Director Harold Clarke and his minion Warden Mathena. These inhumane right-wingers have extreme anti-prisoner, anti-New Afrikan politics. This is a collaboration of Black-bourgeois jingo-ism and Euro-supremacist exploitation, similar to the 44th U.S. presidency.

This Nazi oppression and persecution is a result of my breaking the chains of colonialism – psychologically – because I am free-minded, because I no longer identify with the enemy culture, instead labeling myself a New Afrikan rather than the schizophrenic label or identity of “Afrikan-Amerikan,” dispelling the ghost spell, and this is “bad for business.” Because my eyes have fluttered open to the social and economic slavery of Third World nations under U.S. imperialism, ROSP violently forces my eyes shut.

Revolutionary nationalist political insight is emerging as a great threat to capitalist-imperialist plans for world exploitation and ethnic cleansing – or genocide – and prevention of a “Messiah” from rising.

I charge Amerika with genocide for killing between 50 and 100 million Afrikans in the Atlantic slavery trade; for 50 million more murders of Afrikans during chattel slavery; for Hiroshima and Nagasaki; for the smallpox-laced blankets they gave to the Indigenous; for the 250,000 women and children that Amerika bombed to death in Iraq.

How on earth can Amerikans call this “democracy?” Yeah, it is democracy: Nazi democracy.

Lt. Gilbert sure finds it amusing that another New Afrikan has been tortured. He makes light of it. It’s funny, while Officer Akers habitually sexually offends inmates with impunity. God bless Amerika? How did these crooks take over society and the world? The biggest crooks in the social development of humanity pose as the world’s so-called “police”?

The officers at ROSP kamp are sadomasochistic farm boys with the government behind them. With Lt. Gilbert conjuring up his racist mob of guards to persecute me, the atmosphere resembles the 1700s. Lynch-mob Officer Akers literally is a stone cold racist and resembles a Nazi assassin, poised to kill, a hatemonger. I wish you could see this fool. At any time, these hatemongers can, in lock-step, march into my cage and torture me or worse.

Sad to say but here at ROSP we inmates are totally lacking that revolutionary spirit of Ferguson. Fear grips these cellblocks. All real resistance has been extinguished via torture. I represent only a spark coming into existence, and ROSP responds by throwing the whole ocean on me, attempting to drown my political life.

On Sept. 28, 2014, Officer Akers deliberately contaminated my food in some subtle method. I lost all my strength and was confined either to the toilet or a comatose-like state for many hours. Yet, when I protest or resist, I am given a “rule violation” and again relegated to the status of “criminal” and positioned to be tortured again. Who is the real crook here? Isn’t it the officers committing crimes by torturing me and poisoning me?

At all times I am ready to submit to a lie detector test, but I wonder if Lt. Gilbert and Officer Akers would be as willing. There are cameras present, and I encourage anyone with the ability to do so to manifest this truth as evidence before the people and United Nations as proof that Amerikan democracy is one big lie.

I always keep politics and ethics juxtaposed, as is the principle of New Afrikan Revolutionary Nationalist philosophy. But Amerika, for over 500 years, since Machiavelli, has equated politics with strategy and tactics, divorcing itself from the truth with Machiavellian political philosophy embodies the full Euro-centric philosophy that Amerika is incorporated into.
