Photo Essay: My Year in a Government Re-Education Camp

Rate: 14 Flag

“[It’s] under the guise of quote, volunteerism, but it’s not volunteers at all.  It’s paying people to do work on behalf of government. There are provisions for what I would call re-education camps for young people, where young people get trained in the philosophy the government puts forward and then they have to go work in these politically correct forums.”--Republican Minnesota Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann, speaking about Americorps.

As some of you already know, I was a highly-paid government operative, working in one of those Americorps re-education camps from 2002-2003.  I spent a year in a remote location in the wilderness, indoctrinating the very youngest Americans.  These pictures tell the inside story, and it is at great personal risk that I bring them forward.  But the truth must prevail.


A group of graduates of our program.  Here they are singing the song of praise to the Fatherland, which goes:  Put your sticks in the air and tap with me:  one, two, three.  Put your sticks on the floor and tap with me:  one, two, three.  Tap your sticks, one two three.  Tap your sticks is fun.  Tap your sticks, one two three.  Three, two, one.  (If you think this song sounds harmless, consider this:  six years after I left the re-education camp, I still sometimes wake up singing it for no reason, and it WON'T LEAVE MY HEAD.  If that isn't evil government mind control, I don't know what is.)

We lured them in with promises of candy and parties, then taught them to be masters of disguise.  Then we sent them out from house to house under cover of darkness to intimidate and threaten the residents if their demands were not met.

We taught them survival skills for combat in Arctic weather conditions.

scan0001 

We trained them to be good little propaganda artists.

scan0015 

We maintained the importance of Kinder, Kuche, und Kirche.

scan0014 

We indoctrinated them with manifestoes. 

scan0013 

We instructed them in the arts of living off the land, of selecting edible gourd vegetables and of roasting the seeds.

scan0018 

We forced them to face their natural fear of intimidating and bloodthirsty wildlife, and to overcome that fear.

scan0017 

We put them through rigorous obstacle courses to increase their levels of physical fitness.

scan0004 

We subverted their good Christian religious education by forcing them to sing I give thanks for blue skies over me, green grass under me, good friends beside me.  I give thanks for good food in front of me and peace all over the world before we would let them eat, and made them to perform this song with hypnotic and mind-controlling hand gestures.

Our secret re-education compound.  (We made it look like a converted 1950s roadside motel so that passers-by  wouldn’t be suspicious.)

If you'll look closely, you'll see that that rug is printed with the Spanish alphabet instead of the real alphabet.  The plan was to turn the kids into Cuban spies without them ever realizing what hit them.

scan0008 

We lived together, as befits dirty commies.  Some of us even went shoeless in solidarity with the workers of the world.

Government agent clones!  Confounding the American people by their ability to both tutor 13-year-olds AND put new roofs on houses at the same time!

scan0012 

After their term of service was up, these commie bastards went out and bred MORE little government operatives.  And then they brought them back to the area of the re-education camp for a visit so that they could see where Mommy and Daddy spent a year of their lives transforming Amerika.  Will the madness ever stop?

Won't someone rescue these poor children?

They're...dead inside.  Just look at their eyes.

I'm sorry, little one.  I was young and naive about the true nature of what I was doing.  I hope you turned out OK despite it all.

Nice! We need more commies like those.
Great post, comrade! The devilish depths of your depravity have earned you much favor in the eyes of your brothers and sisters who wish for the insidiousness of life's richness to be spread throughout humanity. Oh, the glee it gives us to witness dastardly compassion and stimulation passed like an endlessly mutating virus into these nubile carriers of altruism's disease. BWA-HA-HA-HA-HA!!

I am appalled. How can you sleep at night?

(I'm encouraging my son to join the ranks...so as to ingratiate myself with Comrade Obama. Actually I thought he might like to be able to go to college and this could help.)
I'm so pissed that I couldn't find the pictures from the day Sears & Roebuck gave us a bunch of novelty children's raingear. I had shots of all of them running around the woods in matching little yellow-and-black striped bumblebee jackets with little stinger tails and little yellow and black striped boots with wings and antennae. Surely I could have come up with an appropriately sinister explanation for THAT.
Oh my God, Leeandra! How could you!?!?!?

You've managed to bring a smile to my face at the end of a very long day at work. Commie.
;-)
Shelly Bachmann, my favorite wacko. Here's to redistricting!
Bravo! Great sequel! Uh, er, Comrade........

Monte
far too much fun is being had,,, must be eliminated
Love this post, love those little Commies, love Americorps. I have worked for several different non-profits that accomlished so much more than their budgets were capable of, thanks to dedicated AmeriCorps and VISTA volunteers. I look forward to the day my kids college educations are paid for and I can return the favor by volunteering for a year.
Fantastic "up-your-ass" satire! great job, Leeandra! You should send it to the bitch!
How shocking! It sounds like North Korea to me. I'm glad we've got none other than Congresswoman Bachman looking into these blatantly un-American activities!

Owl--Thanks!

Kevin--(rubs hands together, grins evilly)

MyOnlyOutlet--I couldn't sleep last night. That damn "tap your sticks" song kept running through my head. It's EVIL, I tell you, EVIL.

SpottedMind--Sadly, I needed the health insurance.

sixfootskinny--She would be more entertaining if she didn't have a vote in Congress.

Monte--Since you're a preacher, I have no use for you anymore. Religion is the opiate of the masses.

Brian--I purposely did NOT scan in the pictures from Santa's visit and the Christmas party. We can't let our atheist overlords know we let the children celebrate a Christian holiday and taught them capitalistic consumerism and the joys of private property by feeding into their lust for their very own baby dolls and toy firetrucks!

Mamoore--I'm sure Americorps and Vista would be happy to have you.

Rod--Considering her son Harrison rebelled and signed up for Teach for America, I think that would be rubbing it in a bit too much.

Alan--It's amazing how much a Christian preschool in Appalachia and a North Korean re-education camp look alike.
Take me to your leader... :>0
Ric--I'll send you to Mr. Gary, our bus driver. He was full of wisdom like, "Oh, how fantastic. Your parole officer is going to be so proud of you someday," and "Let me tell you something I learned in Vietnam. There's only five things you need to be afraid of: big snakes, little snakes, live snakes, dead snakes, and pretty women that have had too much to drink. Any one of them will either hurt you or cause you to hurt yourself."
Damn you, commie! and look at all those precious little commies! I said it before and will say it again, Girl, you did a good thing and it makes me proud of you and the folks in our country that "volunteer" in these re-education camps! Can we drink Vodka now!
Pinkos are us!!!! Excellent post. Verrry clever, the kind of clever that makes me believe you have been taught by the mind control MASTERS.
Fab--Screw vodka. We may be commies, but this is Kentucky. Moonshine's where it's at.

Sandra--Oh yes, I went to Catholic school.
Boris and Natasha ask me to pass along congratulations from Fearless Leader on your ideological work. You've been awarded the medal Hero of Socialist Labor.
