Is This the Real #Reason #ConvictedFelon #DonaldTrump Promises to #Pardon #January6th #Insurrection #Convicts
If past is prologue and Trump #loses the #election, is there any reason to think he won’t enlist #violent #rightwingers to #challenge the #outcome during the weeks between #ElectionDay and January 6, 2025? He should be #asked about it at this week’s #debate.

The new law offers #parole to #convicts who sign a contract to join the army, a move that some officials have said could generate a maximum of 20,000 soldiers for the Ukrainian war effort.
Those convicted of the most serious crimes, such as the premeditated murder of two or more people, rape and crimes against national security, would still not be allowed to enlist.

This is François-Maurice Lepailleur, a political prisoner exiled to Australia on the HMS Buffalo in 1839-40 for taking up arms to fight democracy against autocratic British colonial rule in Canada.
At that time, the Australian penal colonies were a dumping ground, not only for criminals but also for political prisoners gathered from across the British Empire.

Morning, Toots! So, I have spent some of my (upcoming birthday) key on a day long virtual conference, on “How Well Do You Know Your Convict?” (run by Society of Australian Genealogists) which will include a focus on finding female convict records in the UK, and also a study on demography records in Victoria (another of my convicts was sent to Van Diemen’s land and ended his life around Benalla in Victoria.) #FamilyHistory #Convicts #HistodonsAu #SAG
A Global History of Convicts and Penal Colonies by Clare Anderson
Between 1415, when the Portuguese first used convicts for colonization purposes in the North African enclave of Ceuta, to the 1960s and the dissolution of Stalin's gulags, global powers including the Spanish, Dutch, Portuguese, British, Russians, Chinese and Japanese transported millions of convicts to forts, penal settlements and penal colonies all over the world.

From it's aboriginal heritage, to use as a convict and then industrial site, to it's present day national park status - a rich interesting history.
US #capitalism has a long history of using #incarcerated people for #ForcedLabour, i.e., #slavery, with many states still happily leasing #convicts to private companies. This horseshit is why #racist laws sustain a massive #PrisonIndustrialComplex.
