[ti:Shadow Business] [ar:Jedi Mind Tricks] [al:Servants In Heaven Kings In He] [by:] [offset:0] [00:00.85]When you over in American Samoa [00:02.51]What what surprised you the most [00:05.15]I guess what hit me the most is the condition of the factory that the workers were in [00:09.46]The factory was surrounded by a fence [00:13.80]And barbed wire on top and on the bottom [00:17.63]And they have a chain-linked fence surround the whole factory and [00:20.61]And dormitory compound [00:23.10]The gate has a has a guard shack where the guard sit there [00:28.97]And control the worker movement in and out of the of the factory [00:32.75] [00:34.08]The factory are made of ahm [00:36.41] [00:37.12]Tin panels with tin roof [00:40.04]It's really hot [00:42.30]The temperature over there is verily ninety degrees [00:45.31] [00:46.31]And inside the factory or the dormitory [00:49.04]It reaches way over a hundred degrees [00:52.47]Yeah [00:52.91]It's the contemporary form of slavery they call it slave labour [00:55.35] [00:56.19]But they don't prosecute them 'cause it's how they make paper [00:58.72]When you rocking that fly sh*t that's made in China [01:01.32]By an eight year old child tryna feed his mama [01:03.99]He exposed to contamination and diseas [01:06.51]And only fifty-five percent of them will get degrees [01:09.10]And the women have to try to placate the boss [01:11.63]Because it's sex discrimination in the labour force [01:14.32]The slave master only let them speak in sign language [01:16.96]And they're suffering from lung disease and eye damage [01:19.64]Fourteen hour shifts seven days a week [01:21.88]Two shitty meals a day very little sleep [01:25.38]Human life only worth three cents an hour [01:27.57]All human right laws loose sense of power [01:30.27]What did four hundred years in the grave passes [01:32.90]Only the improved cleverness of slave masters [01:35.46]Is life worth living if you living in hell [01:37.61]When the mind is confined to a prisoner's cell [01:40.18]And the lies they devise in the system that fail [01:42.63]But I expect the system to fail [01:45.66]Is life worth living if you living in hell [01:48.09]When the mind is confined to a prisoner's cell [01:50.65]And the lies they devise in the system that fail [01:53.19]But I expect the system to fail [01:55.83]Many Chinese workers are forced to sign secret agreements [01:58.66]Known as shadow contracts [02:00.57]Before they leave China severely and in some ways [02:03.87]Illegally restricting their activities while on American soil [02:06.46]Workers are forbidden to participate in any religious or political [02:09.23]Activity or to ask for a salary increase or even to fall in love or get married [02:16.88]It's one point six million people locked in jail [02:19.45]They do new slave labour force trapped in hell [02:22.08]They generate over a billion dollars worth to power [02:25.42]And only getting paid twenty cents an hour [02:27.92]They make cloths for McDonald's and for Apple Bee's [02:30.46]And working fourteen hour shifts in prison factories [02:33.09]And while we sit around debating who the wack emcee is [02:35.76]They have to work when arthritic pain attack the knees [02:38.23]Slavery is not illegal that's a f**king lie [02:40.93]It is illegal unless it's for conviction of a crime [02:43.57]The main objective is to get you in your f**king prime [02:46.26]And keep the prison full and not give you a f**king dime [02:48.96]But they the real criminal keeping you confined [02:51.59]For a petty crime but they give you two-to-nine [02:54.17]And ain't nobody there to protect ya [02:56.71]Except a bunch of incompetent human rights inspectors [02:59.29]Is life worth living if you living in hell [03:01.54]When the mind is confined to a prisoner's cell [03:04.08]And the lies they devise in the system that fail [03:06.70]But I expect the system to fail [03:09.40]Is life worth living if you living in hell [03:11.87]When the mind is confined to a prisoner's cell [03:14.61]And the lies they devise in the system that fail [03:17.12]But I expect the system to fail [03:20.22]The sweatshop situation's kind of cohesive [03:24.76]And kind of take advantage on the people [03:27.58]That are poor and at an economic disadvantage [03:31.17]This Chinese woman made T-shirts and pants [03:34.78]At the factory until she became pregnant [03:37.14]When I told them I was pregnant [03:38.84]They told me to have an abortion [03:42.15]Tu Xiao Mei says she refused to have the abortion [03:44.28]And has now been barred from entering the factory [03:47.46]To allow them to bring that on to US soil is a very deep concern [03:51.65]We've now documented the facts that management [03:53.09]Coerces female workers who become pregnant into having abortions [03:55.15]But human rights workers say it's common practice [03:59.68]Inside that factory Chinese law applies and Chinese law is is supreme [04:04.01]Even though it's the United States of America [04:05.76]The flag doesn't fly inside there
