⚖️ YOUR RIGHTS, THEIR RIGGED GAME
LEGAL SYSTEM
Justice for some. Obedience for the rest.
“They promised justice. They’re selling you control.”
The justice system was meant to protect your rights—fairness, equality, accountability.
But behind the gavels and laws lies a brutal truth:
It’s not justice.
It’s a rigged game—serving power while punishing the powerless.
You’re not a citizen.
You’re a pawn.
💼 WHAT’S REALLY HAPPENING?
Justice isn’t blind—it’s bought.
You pay with your freedom, your future, and your trust.
Judges, corporations, and lawmakers don’t uphold fairness—they enforce control.
Every arrest, fine, and sentence fuels a $200 billion machine designed to trap you.
This isn’t law and order.
It’s social control.
⚖️ HOW THEY RIG THE GAME
1️⃣ Bias Baked In
Black Americans receive 20% longer sentences than white defendants for the same crimes, per 2024 DOJ.
Wealth buys lawyers—poverty buys prison time.
2️⃣ Prison Profiteering
CoreCivic earned $1.9B in 2024 from private prisons. Their contracts require 90%+ occupancy.
Inmates work for $1/hour—modern slavery for corporate profit.
3️⃣ The War on the Poor
1.5 million people jailed yearly for non-violent drug offences, per ACLU.
Meanwhile, Big Pharma executives who fuelled the opioid crisis walk free.
4️⃣ Censored Reformers
In 2024, X throttled 60% of posts exposing police abuse, per whistle-blowers.
Whistle-blowers like Chelsea Manning face exile or prison.
🧠 🧭 🧠 🧭
This isn’t justice.
It’s a punishment racket.
🚨 WHY THIS MATTERS
This isn’t about one court case.
It’s about who owns your freedom.
🔻 Trust Destroyed
68% of Americans now distrust the justice system, per Gallup 2024.
When the people lose faith in fairness, rebellion follows.
💸 Lives Ruined
Over 2 million Americans carry court debt.
A single $500 fine can trap someone in the system for years.
👑 Power Protected
In 2023, zero CEOs were jailed for financial crimes.
Fraud gets fines. Poverty gets prison.
🧠 🧭 🧠 🧭
The system isn’t broken.
It’s working exactly as intended.
🩸 THE REAL COST
🏚 Mass Incarceration
The U.S. imprisons 639 people per 100,000—the highest rate in the world.
80% of inmates are non-violent, per BJS 2024.
🚫 Poverty Punished
$3 billion in civil asset forfeiture was seized in 2023 without convictions.
Cash bail traps 500,000 people in jail—before trial.
🧨 Truth Silenced
40 journalists exposing legal corruption were harassed in 2024, per CPJ.
Independent voices face smear campaigns or worse.
🧠 🧭 🧠 🧭
Your rights are their revenue.

— Honoré de Balzac
