In the age of globalization, Blacks, Immigrants, and resisters are 
targeted for elimination and enslavement by the power brokers, fearful 
of losing their wealth, privilege, and whiteness. Central to this 
process is the school to prison pipeline, high unemployment, 
homelessness, and the so-called war on drugs that supply the prison 
system with its oppressed population. In this presentation, we explore 
some of the facts that characterize this system—no less insidious than 
past forms of slavery—and some of the narratives, policies and practices
 that work in the interest of the dominant corporate plutocracy.
