The Trump administration's warehouse buying spree is drawing interest from Geo Group, one of the largest private prison contractors in the US.

The highly classified whistleblower complaint against DNI Tulsi Gabbard is related to a conversation intercepted by the National Security Agency (NSA) last spring in which two foreign nationals discussed Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner and sensitive matters related to Iran.

US Health and Human Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr during a recent interview on a podcast:

  • "We still did live [12-step] meetings every day during COVID. We moved from the bank " there was about 15 of us. We moved from the bank and we got into the Palisades Playhouse, which burned down during the fire. But it was kind of a pirate group. I said, I don't care what happens, I'm going to a meeting every day.' And I said, I'm not scared of a germ, after all I used to snort cocaine off of toilet seats.' And I know this disease will kill me if I don't treat it, which means, for me, going to meetings every day."

    "Recent US-Russian talks about ending Moscow's war on Ukraine should not be taken as a sign that Russia poses less of a threat to the US and Europe. Despite this illusory thaw, Russia continues to regard the US as its principal global adversary."

    "Geo Group is "cautiously participating" in the procurement process for running the warehouses and evaluating select sites, the company's greedy executive chairman, good-for-nothing George Zoley, told investors during an earnings call. Retrofitting warehouses to store people might be challenging, he warned. DHS wants to hold as many as 8,500 people in some of the several warehouses it has purchased with American taxpayer funds in Arizona, Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Texas.

    Geo Group is one of the two biggest companies in the inhumane detention business: Roughly 34% of the people in ICE custody are detained at Geo Group's concentration camps. The Florida-based company says it has space for 6,000 more detainees at its own facilities.

    ~snip~

    In 2019 Geo Group was found to be working detainees for pennies a day and then gouging them $3.25 for a can of tuna and $11 for a tube of toothpaste in the lockup commissary. In 2017, Geo Group executives partied lavishly at Dummkopf Trumpf's Miami golf resort after landing a $110m federal contract. That contract came months after they donated six figures to a pro-Trumpf super PAC.

    Many privately-run ICE gulags have been condemned as being filthy concentration camps that dehumanize people in brutal conditions with poor plumbing and sanitation, as well as undernourishment, overcrowding, medical neglect and pestilence. Solitary confinement, still practiced in the US, is considered a harsh and unusual punishment in other countries, but ICE detainees have been subjected to this torture.

    The hardworking American taxpayer is funding the abject misery of our fellow man while enriching greedy oligarchs like George Zoley in Dummkopf Trumpf's new Fourth Reich.


    *** US Smuggled Thousands of Starlink Terminals into Iran to Foment Dissent; Trumpf Warns Iran ***

    "The State Department purchased 7,000 Starlink terminals several months ago with the aim of providing them to anti-government elements inside Iran, and that about 6,000 were smuggled into the country in January after the Iranian government cut internet access as part of its crackdown against the protest."

    On 31 Dec 2025, the IDF alerted its citizens to be prepared for an imminent three-front war against the West Bank, Lebanon, and Iran. This is a war that Israel will start, but will need some sort of provocation from Iran to make it "legit" for the Western mainstream media.

    Dummkopf Trumpf and ICC-indicted war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu have been plotting to attack Iran for months, creating false issues like "caring" about Muslims getting killed in Iran when the IDF, with US support and money, killed 72,000 Muslims in Gaza.

    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

    After meeting the disgusting Benjamin Netanyahu in the White House, Dummkopf Trumpf brayed:

    "We have to make a deal with Iran, otherwise it's going to be very traumatic, very traumatic."

    "I don't want that to happen, but we have to make a deal," Trumpf sniveled to reporters in the White House when asked whether his thinking on Iran has changed following his meeting yesterday with the murderous Benjamin Netanyahu.

    This homicidal maniac should have been immediately detained by US CBP inspectors at IAD airport based on the INTERPOL Red Notice ordering his arrest for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity, in accordance with international law and the International Criminal Court (ICC) indictment.

    Another indicted war criminal, Russia President Vladimir Putin, does not want regime change in Iran nor does he want a disruption to drone manufacturing in the country which he needs for his war against Ukraine. Also, Russian oligarchs have invested billions of dollars in Iran which Putin doesn't want to see imperiled.

    Dummkopf Trumpf is caught between Scylla and Charybdis: His domestic AIPAC supporters here in the US and his foreign handler in the Kremlin. And both have damaging kompromat on the geriatric morbidly-obese pedophile blighting the White House.

    The millions of members in the American antiwar movement are watching these events closely and will not vote for a politician this November who receives money from AIPAC or supports the US or Israel attacking Iran.

    FTA:

    "The US intelligence officer's whistleblower highly classified complaint was based on a foreign-intelligence conversation collected by the National Security Agency (NSA) . The conversation included a discussion about a person close to Dummkopf Trumpf and at least in part concerned sensitive issues related to Iran. DNI Tulsi Gabbard, the most underqualified political hack to ever lead an intelligence organization, kept the report for eight months locked in a safe until it reached Congress in heavily redacted form last week.

    CDI should never be sat on without action and is a gross dereliction of duty.

    ("CDI" is a US Army and FBI counterintelligence term meaning Credible Derogatory Information.')

    Senior Trumpf junta apparatchiks bleated that the claims about the sinister Jared Kushner were demonstrably false, but declined to offer more specifics about the conversation on grounds that doing so could expose a highly sensitive surveillance method."

    Coincidentally on 4 Feb 2026, US Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR) sent a letter to D/CIA John Ratcliffe, which might be related to this matter, but this is too soon to tell and the NSA interception occurred last year. Link: Letter to CIA

    For months the bellicose Trumpf junta has been beating the war drums to attack Iran on behalf of Israel PM Benjamin Netanyahu. But the avaricious Trumpf Crime Family (TCF) and their accomplices-- like good-for-nothing oligarch Steve Witkoff-- are most likely seeking ways to monetize any potential conflict with Iran, the way the junta has been scheming to make money from the Gaza genocide and the Ukraine war.

    This nefarious silver-spooned oligarch, who never worked a day in his life, is not a good human being in any way, shape, or form whatsoever. And neither is his despicable father, disgraced convicted superrich Charles Kushner, now astonishingly the US Ambassador to France and Monaco.



    The first Jesuit pope in Vatican history was looking forward to meeting with "Genocide Joe" in Rome in January 2025. Joe Biden wanted to present His Holiness with the Presidential Medal of Freedom during his last official trip as POTUS. The California wildfires precluded President Biden from attending, so he awarded the medal to the pontiff by phone.

    Good thing.

    Many Vatican observers knew the Pontiff was going to give the second Catholic POTUS in US history an earful (behind closed doors, of course) about America's disgraceful support for Israel's ethnic cleansing in Gaza and the West Bank.

    Don't believe Coriolanus?

    Don't care.

    The parallels between the 1968 and 2024 POTUS elections are manifest, including both Tuesdays falling on 5 Nov, both DNCs holding conventions in Chicago, and both DNC conventions shutting out antiwar Samaritans. We can blame the anti-communist jingoists and the military-industrial complex cronies for that in 1968 and AIPAC Islamophobes in 2024.

    Be that as it may, three candidates ran in 1968: Richard Nixon (R), Hubert Humphrey (D), and single-issue segregationist George Wallace (AIP). His racist American Independent Party (AIP) won 9.9m votes and a few Electoral College states.

    In 1968, there was no political avenue for antiwar Samaritans with these three candidates, so in good conscience they stayed home.

    Similarly, between Dummkopf Trumpf and Kamala Harris, who both supported Israel's pogrom against the Palestinians and POTUS Joe Biden who was labeled "Genocide Joe," there was no political avenue for antiwar Samaritans in 2024, so in good conscience they stayed home.

    They didn't waste their time with Green Party candidate Dr Jill Stein who received a meager ~640,000 votes nationwide.

    The answer to our binary system is to make AIPAC a single issue third party, like George Wallace did in 1968 with the AIP.

    Instead of AIPAC funding candidates from both parties with billions of dollars in dark money, like betting on every horse in every race, they should become a political party unto itself in broad daylight under the powerful antiseptic power of the sun.

    This way American voters have three choices on Election Day: Conservative Republicans, Progressive Democrats, or the single-issue America-Israel Party (AIP, like George Wallace's 1968 party).

    America first, right Fellow Travelers?

    In 2016 a woman won the popular vote over a man in the presidential election.

    The numbers on Tuesday 8 Nov 2016:

    Dummkopf Trumpf (male): 62,984,828 (46.1%)

    Hillary Clinton (female): 65,853,514 (48.2%)

    Hillary Clinton was cheated of her victory by the anachronistic Electoral College system which was designed to keep the status quo in power, as well as Russian interference and James Comey's unwise comments about her personal OPSEC procedures.

    Michelle Obama: "Don't ask about me running for Prez because you (we) the Electoral College system isn't ready to have a woman President."

    BTW: Democrats historically do better at national elections during peacetime.

    Woodrow Wilson (1916) and FDR (1940) won their elections before entering the global conflagrations raging around them. After Woodrow Wilson won, he could decide how to steer the country. When he was advised that a British loss would cost American banks billions of dollars because of loans to their banks that the Kaiser would never honor being repaid, Wilson started tilting isolationist America toward the Allies for the sake of those mega-banks and the US economy

    In 1944, more Servicemen identified as Democrats than Republicans and the US kept the course with FDR against fascism.

    Look at all the presidential elections from 1948 to 2024.

    LBJ knew VPOTUS Hubert Humphrey was going to lose weeks before Tuesday 5 Nov 1968 because of the Vietnam War (Source: Phone transcripts released from archives).

    LBJ himself didn't want to run again, which he announced on national TV on 31 March 1968, two months after this atrocity was perpetrated on 1 Feb 1968 and the Pulitzer Prize-winning photo went viral:
