Summary of the report:

Title: FORCED LABOR CAMPS IN THE USSR. CIA-RDP80T00246A032000400001

A 1957 CIA document titled “Forced Labor Camps in the USSR: Transfer of Prisoners between Camps” reveals the following information about the Soviet Gulag in pages two to six:

• Until 1952, the prisoners were given a guaranteed amount food, plus extra food for over-fulfillment of quotas

• From 1952 onward, the Gulag system operated upon “economic accountability” such that the more the prisoners worked, the more they were paid.

• For over-fulfilling the norms by 105%, one day of sentence was counted as two, thus reducing the time spent in the Gulag by one day.

• Furthermore, because of the socialist reconstruction post-war, the Soviet government had more funds and so they increased prisoners’ food supplies.

• Until 1954, the prisoners worked 10 hours per day, whereas the free workers worked 8 hours per day. From 1954 onward, both prisoners and free workers worked 8 hours per day.

• A CIA study of a sample camp showed that 95% of the prisoners were actual criminals.

• In 1953, amnesty was given to 70% of the “ordinary criminals” of a sample camp studied by the CIA. Within the next 3 months, most of them were re-arrested for committing new crimes.

These findings didn’t agree with the West’s “Soviet Union no food” and “Soviet prisons bad” takes of the time.

The CIA did a huge study on the USSR’s gulag program in the 1960s and it turned out that inmates in it were actually treated better than those in the US prison system.

The CIA of course suppressed that info from the American public for years because it made the USSR look better than western propagandists wanted it to.

Too much of a coincidence. Wake up sheeple!

They adopted five kids. I’m not sure of the details but I’m pretty sure the charges were multiplied for slavery, child abuse, child endangerment, etc.

Just like how Big Telescope puts screens in their telescopes to hide the fact that the sky isn’t actually the firmament.

Or maybe they know a weaker US and stronger China is good for them, and they’re speedrunning US collapse by and letting Trump do his thing.

As much as I enjoy Trump collapsing the American empire by spitting into the hand of every country that feeds it, how could corporate interests look at all this and think “this is fine”?

Surely turning the nation’s back on trading partners can’t benefit US corpos in the long run whatsoever, but then again what do I know?

There’s an episode of South Park that portrays Mel as a sadomasochist who projects that fetish onto his films based on the fact that that lot of characters in them, especially ones played by him, have a scene where they get tortured in some way.

I’m starting to think they were on to something.

“Nothing will fundamentally change” was the truest thing Biden ever said.

When I first heard of it I thought he might have done some other hand gesture and the libs took it out of context (not trying to do Elon apologia or anything), but then I saw the video and holy shit he actually did it wtf.

I live in a city that is referred to as a “streetcar suburb.” Every main road here had tram tracks, then the 50s happened and everything was torn out.

To be fair, mass transit is almost impossible to profit off of, even in the US, so private interests want nothing to do with it.

“Punishable by fine” just means “it’s legal if you can afford it.”

The right is wavering between the fires being God’s wrath for supporting woke, or the deep state using directed energy weapons to target conservatives.

I love the mental gymnastics that chuds go through to convince themselves that cops and military aren’t part of “the government.”

I “love” when a show like Law and Order has a scene where the cops go to arrest somebody who is later proven to be innocent, and it’s always at their workplace, or a busy family function, or a restaurant. The cops proceed to loudly accuse the person of the heinous crime right in front of their friends/family/neighbors/coworkers.

Then later on, the actual perp is arrested and no mention is made again of the innocent person they practically eviscerated in public or in front of their loved ones.

It’s like these shows exist to subliminally train people to passively accept cops treating them like shit, even if you’re innocent.

Lmao eat it loser.

“Extraterrestrial” translates to “beyond earth”
