The US Federal Prison System, BOP (Bureau of Prisons), plans to tighten its methods for those placed in the US Penitentiaries’ spec
ial housing units called communication management units. The new proposed regulation would take most of the morale-raising rights away from the inmates of high security units. One of those inmates who is placed in high security unit is a former high-ranking leader of the Order, Richard Scutari.
The history of the Communication Management Unit leads back to War on Terror which was started by the Bush administration in October 2001. Soon after when the US Armed Forces started to chase the alleged Al-Qaeda terrorists in Afghanistan and later in Iraq, the US Government established a brutal prison camp for the alleged terrorists in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. It was officially called a “Federal Detention Facility” which did not recognize the human rights of those detainees held in custody as they did not officially have the “prisoner” status. That made possible the torture of the detainees in Guantanamo without any intervene by others.
In 2006, when the Detention Facility had been kept running in Guantanamo, secretly the US Federal Prison System, Bureau of Prisons (BOP), opened the first Communication Management Unit in the US Penitentiary Terre Haute, in Indiana. The first opened Communication Management Unit made no difference with the Detention Facility in Guantanamo, except that the model of the Guantanamo Detention Facility was now brought to the soil of the United States. The US congress – whether knowing or not knowing of CMU’s existence in Terre Haute – had not given its approval to it.
In 2008 the Bureau of Prisons opened another Communication Management Unit in the US soil. This extreme special housing unit was opened in one of the most notorious US Federal prisons after the closing of USP Alcatraz in 1963 – United States Penitentiary Marion, in Illinois. One of the inmates housed in this unit in Marion is a former high-ranking member of the Order, Richard Scutari. After serving almost 23 years, having a pure record in the federal prison system and good behavior, Scutari was given “DT” classification (Domestic Terrorist) and was sent to CMU. Right now, Richard Scutari is the only white prisoner of the 12 other inmates placed in the CMU of USP Marion.
The US Congress has not given and had not given its approval to CMU in USP Marion, in fact, these two existing Communication Management Units do not have the approval of the US Congress, and therefore these units are to be considered unconstitutional and illegal.
When Barack Hussein Obama got elected a US President he promised he would close the “barbaric” Detention Facility in Guantanamo, also stating that the detainees of Guantanamo would be removed to the Federal Prisons in the United States. However, what we know now, Obama’s promises of closing Guantanamo is a lie – as he as the President of the United States for sure do know the existence of these Guantanamo typed units in the US soil!
In early 1980’s Richard Scutari (b. 1947) became a member in a white revolutionary organization “Bruders Schweigen” also known as the Order. When Robert J. Matthews, leader of the Order, died in the shootout with the FBI, most of the Order members got arrested and sent to prisons. Scutari, however, who was a security officer in the organization, stayed underground till 1985, and he became the last Order member to be captured and who ended up in FBI’s 10 most wanted list. Scutari was sentenced to a 60 year prison sentence, and his mandatory release date would be in 2026. He then would be 79 years old.
Richard Scutari informed me in his letter of 8th May 2010, that the Bureau of Prisons is proposing new rules before congress for the two CMU’s. The US Congress will validate these new proposed rules on the 7th of June. Scutari writes:
“If congress passes these rules, I will be limited to writing and receiving one 3-page letter per week, one 15 minute phone call per month, and one 1-hour non-contact visit per month. And all that will only be allowed with an immediate family member. This is probably a bit more stringent than what Rudolf Hess had put on him. [...] You can not find any mention of me because left-wing liberals prefer to not acknowledge my existence and our side would care less about those of us in captivity.”
Here is the interesting question; how can the US congress pass these rules of the two CMU’s, if in first place they have not approved the existence of the CMU in the US soil? What is Obama’s stance regarding this issue, after all, he has been talking against unconstitutional punishments and he supposedly wants to close the Detention Facility in Guantanamo. Or is this all just Obama’s double-standards in his way to close the attention towards Guantanamo and bring the Guantanamo to United States on his way to turn America to be a Marxist dictatorship?

Quotes from the proposed rule:
“CMUs are designed to provide an inmate housing unit environment that enables staff monitoring of all communication between CMU inmates and persons in the community. The ability to monitor such communication is necessary to ensure the safety, security, and orderly operation of correctional facilities, and protect the public. The Bureau currently operates CMUs in two of its facilities. This rule would clarify existing Bureau practices with respect to CMUs.”
“This proposed rule codifies and describes the Bureau’s procedures for designating inmates to, and limiting communication within, its Communication Management Units (CMU). [...] The Bureau currently has regulatory authority to restrict the communications of high-risk inmates. [...] (authorizing Wardens to establish and exercise controls to protect individuals, security, discipline, and the good order of the institution) ; [...] (indicating that institution staff shall open and inspect all incoming general correspondence. ); [...] (authorizing limitations upon an inmate’s telephone privileges consistent with ensuring the security or good order of the institution or protection of the public, and authorizing Wardens to establish procedures that enable monitoring of telephone conversations) [...] (authorizing Wardens to limit inmate visiting when necessary to ensure the security and good order of the institution) .”
The Bureau of Prisons do not hide their will to achieve “total control” over the inmates:
“The CMU concept allows the Bureau to monitor inmates for whom such monitoring and communication limits are necessary, whether due to a terrorist link or otherwise, such as inmates who have previously committed an infraction related to mail tampering from within an institution, or inmates who may be attempting to communicate with past or potential victims. The ability to monitor such communication is necessary to ensure the safety, security, and orderly operation of correctional facilities, and protect the public. The volume, frequency, and methods of CMU inmate contact with persons in the community may be limited as necessary to achieve the goal of total monitoring, consistent with this subpart.”
The SHU where I was placed for 87 days as a high security classified inmate of Buffalo Detention Facility had strict rules regarding incoming and outgoing mail, the visits, phone calls and exercise. Rest of the day, 23,5 hours, I spent in my small cell, writing and reading print-outs, since I was not allowed to have books in my cell. No windows to see outside, nothing you could touch in the cell. The CMU is twice or thrice harder and stricter than any SHU in the US soil.
Why do I ask to care one might ask. I ask to care because we must wise up. Our enemy of freedom do not give us any liberties if being imprisoned, and even – in Scutari’s case – 25 years being imprisoned, not causing any trouble or stir up violence will not bring mercy from our holders. In Europe, we must remember, when the times will get worse for the societies which are built on lies, there will not be mercy for us either. New prisons and isolation confinements are being built everywhere in Europe, and the CIA’s secret prisons are true and alive in our continent as well.
And I do ask to care, because there are right now in America and in Europe our people in those extreme isolation confinements, and we cannot close our eyes from this reality, because then we will set ourselves to be fragile and targets to be sent away and being forgotten. We must resist and take a stand – we will have to decide; will we allow this to happen ourselves and our comrades? The choice is yours.
Hail the Order! Hail Richard Scutari!
