AXIOMATIC BOOKS
Worker's Survival Guide to Retaliation, union Failure, Biased Arbitration, and institutional Self Defense
by MR. 1435 SPEAKS
HOODLAW’S WORKER’S SURVIVAL GUIDE TO RETALIATION, UNION FAILURE, BIASED ARBITRATION, AND INSTITUTIONAL SELF‑DEFENSE is a powerful, narrative‑driven handbook that exposes how retaliation really works inside modern workplaces — and gives readers the tools to fight back.
Through the fictional but familiar world of Golden Grain Cereal Company, the book reveals the patterns behind HR retaliation, fake investigations, union negligence, and biased arbitration. Using memorable characters like Mrs. Bird Nest, Mr. Clipboard, Sammy the Slouch, and Judge Friendly, HOODLAW transforms complex legal systems into clear, practical strategies.
Packed with scripts, checklists, templates, and real‑world guidance, this guide equips workers, counselors, agencies, unions, and institutions with a governance‑based approach to workplace protection.
HOODLAW is more than a book — it’s a system of empowerment.

How Nonprofits Exploit Community Labor, Engineer Worker Failure, and Profit From Violence
The Doctrine of Defining, Constraining, and Governing Artificial Intelligence
(The punishment Economy)
Every case file is a person.
Every person is connected to a family.
And every family is forced to survive a system that profits from their suffering.
Broken on Purpose (The Punishment Economy) is a powerful examination of how American courts and prisons convert human vulnerability into institutional revenue. Through eighteen chapters of clear, uncompromising analysis, MR. 1435 SPEAKS reveals how the system criminalizes poverty, monetizes trauma, and traps entire communities in cycles of punishment.
This book is for the incarcerated, their loved ones, and the advocates who fight — not for recognition, but for survival. It is a mirror held up to a system that calls itself justice while operating as an industry.
Read it, and you will never see the justice system the same way again.
