"a complex, dysfunctional resource-wasting parasite of social control, political repression and revenge! Human beings are warehoused in these concrete and steel bunkers that destroy human sensibilities and the human spirit.

Based on past experience, he wrote: "we'll see."
The system is designed to perpetuate itself, to remove political activists from society, cage them like animals, the result of "corruption, criminal mismanagement, thievery, (and) brutality" to deny freedoms and sustain injustice.

Witnesses are enlisted to cooperate. Proceedings are orchestrated, and juries intimidated to convict at the wrong time to be Muslim in America when we're all equally vulnerable.
