Catie Laffoon on Instagram: "I stumbled into this because I was researching why a closed prison was able to re-open as the largest ICE facility in CA (2,500 beds) under the second largest for-profit prison company, CoreCivic, without licenses and permits and why it opened in a small bankrupt town in the middle of the Mojave desert. This prison, which has failed inspections, currently holds detainees, and should be one of the biggest stories in the state of California. I’m noticing similar potential “prison camp cities” being set up in states across America. It’s terrifying. We took a trip to a small airport in that desert, next to the detention center, which revealed a base of operations for one of the largest defense contractors, Northrop Grumman, and a large plaque and quote from Wernher Von Braun. America brought him and the rest of the top Yahtzee scientists, doctors and engineers over to America after WWII with Operation Paperclip. After all, it would have been a shame to waste all that research, regardless of how they obtained it, right? Looking into all of this led to Congress which led to a world we were not prepared for. CoreCivic and the Geo Group (the first largest for-profit prison company) are both owned by BlackRock. BlackRock functions under a company called Alter Domus and so on and so on. Everywhere you look, pull on any thread in American politics or corporate business, all threads will eventually lead back to the same handful of companies. It’s not the White House, it’s who is controlling the White House. Black Rock, Palentir, Oracle, The Heritage Foundation, and more, they run our country, not us and not our votes. This isn’t about Right vs. Left. Democrat vs. Republican. This is a class war. They can and will turn off our water if they need to control us. They can and will occupy our city, our sate, by force if we don’t submit. Either we stand up now or they will enslave all of us one way or another. America is supposed to be the land of the free. Right now none of us are free and the control keeps on closing its fist. This story took a team. So much gratitude and credit to: @eddy.mp4 @alex_alott @the_real_tay_smith @gabesdunn"
