...and people being locked up for speaking out against government and corporatism is one hell of a slippery slope......
This would be the "secret prisons" that have a Wiki page.... and been reported in main stream media!

Please provide your sources for both the Wiki page and those main stream media reports on CMUs.

From what I've heard, one part of the TPP specifically allows for targeting against citizens who do just that.
You think "FREE SPEECH ZONES" are bad, just wait.
I wonder how many ATS members could be sent to these 2 prisons simply for their postings here in opposition of any governmental policy? Seems like the only criteria to be sent to the CMUs are being vocal.

Investigative journalist William Potter exposes the most secret prisons in the US (CMUs) that house inmates who are convicted of bogus crimes such as expressing "radical" beliefs, being animal rights activists, or those who simply exercised their freedom of speech. Most people don't know these CMUs exist, and are a creation from the Bush era. During the video an audience member points out how 25 laws and rights are violated by CMUs. Journalists aren't allowed in CMUs which is why Potter had to interview one of the inmates as a "friend." After the inmate is released, he is arrested again and put in prison for authoring an article about the CMU. It makes you wonder if this is the model they would use in FEMA camps. It might be on a small scale now, but what prevents this from being the prison of the future, and what prevents them for arresting average american's for disagreeing with the government?
