This past Tuesday, four States abolished slavery. Yes, slavery as punishment is legal in the United States under the 13th Amendment punishment clause.
I am the contemporary abolitionist in New Hampshire. I have been advocating for the abolition of slavery since 2018.
In my 2022 bid for United States Senate, I committed to repealing the punishment clause of the 13th amendment.
Slavery is not a New Hampshire value. Neither is slavery an American value.
However, slavery is still permitted as a form of punishment in New Hampshire and in the United States.
Slavery is cruel and unusual punishment leading to societal miasmas which prevent reformation of wrongdoers and inhibit restoration of the injured.
Yet, our incarceration system, and really our entire criminal justice system, is premised on slavery. These systems are certainly systemically inhumane, and appear to be aggressively employed against the marginalized of society.
For example, right now, under RSA 141-C:1-a III, incarcerated individuals in the State of New Hampshire may be subjected to mandated Covid-19 vaccination, a vaccination that has harmed thousands and may be altering the natural genetic constitution of individuals to unknown ends.
The abuses justified by public health are an extension of the reasoning that the State may, at its discretion, end your humanity. We must reject the idea that “due process” is a magical ritual that transforms a human soul into chattel; and that “public health direct threat” is a magical incantation that does the same.
Slavery and dehumanization are exterminations of the human race.
I call on my fellow citizens to immediately end slavery as a form of punishment, as well as end mandated vaccines. Both are a fruit from the same poisonous idea tree, that humans may have their humanity stripped from them by the State. Both are slavery.
