The Rise of the Prison State: Trump’s Push for Megaprisons Could Lock Us All Up – “America is rapidly becoming a nation of prisons. Having figured out how to parlay presidential authority in foreign affairs in order to sidestep the Constitution, President Trump is using his immigration enforcement powers to lock up—and lock down—the nation. After all, a police state requires a prison state. And no one is cheering louder than the private prison corporations making money hand over fist from Trump’s expansion of federal detention. Under the guise of national security and public safety, the Trump administration is engineering the largest federal expansion of incarceration and detention powers in U.S. history. At the center of this campaign is Alligator Alcatraz” – John & Nisha Whitehead

Netanyahu and Trump Host Libertarian Dinner! – “Who knew corrupt mass murderer Bibi Netanyahu is actually a closet libertarian? Oh to be a Fight Club waiter at Monday’s night White House dinner, as the leaders and staffs of the two most fight-loving countries that have ever existed dine at US taxpayer’s expense, while ditching the US taxpayer’s will. The food is probably good, but the relationship is toxic. Trump, Biden-like and taking the Biden administration’s lead, keeps sending billions to Israel to decimate, depopulate and subsume Gaza, in pursuit of the Zionist lebensraum. It is Donald Trump’s genocide now.” – Karen Kwiatkowski

Do They Deserve It? Mexico Is Collapsing As The US Deports Illegals Back Home – “For many years I’ve been writing about the southern US border and the many ways in which Mexico has used it as a “steam valve” to get rid of people in perpetual poverty, as well as malcontents, violent criminals and political revolutionaries. Who could have foreseen a time when the conundrum would be reversed and Mexico would be crushed by an avalanche of its own unwanted citizens? But weren’t we told that migrants are an “economic boon” to any country lucky enough to have them? The argument among progressives and open border activists has always been that migrants are average law abiding people (just like us) who slip across the border simply to integrate into our society and live the American dream. They claim that Mexican leaders are not in control of the situation and that people are desperate to escape crime and social decline. In reality, government officials have long encouraged migrant caravans to traverse their territories and they have allowed illegal immigration into the US as a means to divert their failures into the laps of American taxpayers.” – Brandon Smith

The most important idea in current politics – “At core, modern politics has little to do with genuine sentiment or ideology. When one really boils it down, it’s all moneyball: how do I most cheaply acquire “on base” (getting elected) and runs (getting control) to put up wins (welding influence). and like Billy Bean before him, Soros has been a pioneer in this,”. – El Gato Malo

The Final Act of Jeffrey Epstein (VIDEO) – “Donald Trump has been friends with Jeffrey Epstein for years. In 2002, he told New York Magazine that he’s, quote, known Jeff for 15 years. Terrific guy. He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do. And many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it. Jeffrey enjoys his social life. Close quote. Jeffrey Epstein claimed he introduced Donald Trump to Melania. Epstein is known for grooming beautiful women for powerful men.” – Greg Reese  – DON’T USUALLY LINK TWO OF GREG’S VIDEOS IN ONE DAY BUT THIS ONE IS GOOD AS WELL AS THE ONE ON THE HUMAN HEART!!!

Was Saddam a Deep State Puppet? – Questions For Corbett (VIDEO) – “I can reveal some interesting connections. And actually, I think this is an important question because it gives us insight not only into an important piece of recent history that I think still has relevance in the world today, but also gives us insight into the broader question of how Certain deep state puppets or toys or whatever they may be operate on the geopolitical stage, which I think is valuable knowledge to have. So let’s get into the details. And in order to start tracing the connection between Saddam Hussein and the intelligence agencies, I think we have to set the stage back in 1958.’ – James Corbett

Additionally, he shocked markets by threatening a 50% tariff on copper, seeing its New York price surge to new highs as well as a 200% tariff on pharmaceuticals after a year-long transition period, ” – Michael Every
