Q: The DNI concluded in March that Iran is not building a nuclear weapon. What new intel does the US have that Iran changed its position? 

HEGSETH: The president has made it very clear that he's looked at all the intelligence and come to the conclusion that the Iranian nuclear program is a threat.

Seems like a solid-decision making process

All true, yet he's going to profit from it big time.

I think with this move, people may start to consider Andrew Johnson or James Buchanan as worse Presidents than the Dotard.

You defended a genocide regime and want to act like the rest of us didn’t pay attention to what was going on.

Look, intelligent beings know you didn't defend a genocidal regime.

The 77 million beings who voted for Trump, once they get in line, aren't going to see it that way.  Nor are most of the fuckheads who didn't vote.

Iran, bad, bombing them good.

All prior presidents since Carter missed their fucking chance.

When you said you wanted to “burn it all down“ did “it all” not include the global non-proliferation regime that allows a pariah nation like, say, Iran to presume that the rest of the world can negotiate disarmament in good faith?

Trump will make a great deal any day now.

Are they offering good deals? I'd like to return to Hawaii this fall.

The next time Trump "looks at" any intelligence will be the first time.

I wonder how the 'far right' MAGA folks (the ones who are 'really into WW2 history' and such) are dealing with the potential that their young people may be sent to battle on behalf of Israel? 

I guess it'd balance out between the anti-semetic faction and the Biblical End Times Prophecy Zionist element, though...

Yeah it's not hard. I have never argued with him because it's pointless. Putting him on ignore is pretty easy. It doesn't matter what facts you bring to the argument because invariably he will keep you responding to him with personal insults. It's what people who seek attention will do. It's just not fun engaging people who act like that and the board is better when posts by people like that are just ignored.

Watched this part of the The Professional on YouTube a few weeks ago. It struck me that those police, corrupt shitbags that they were, received their orders and marched to their doom against Leon like they were on Pickett's Charge or infantry at Verdun. So different than those cops in Uvalde or the masked goons catching farm workers. 

If Obama had ever put anything like Trump's Truth post out there, FoxNews would still be doing segments on it. Everryyooonee will completely ignore it coming from Trump.

Bering Straights Native Corporation.

Quote

As an Alaska Native Corporation (ANC), BSNC provides a unique opportunity to partner with an Indigenous organization whose mission goes beyond business. BSNC’s vast number of highly-qualified companies include many 8(a) and HUBZone Certified businesses.

BSNC’s family of companies include several companies that are currently or formerly certified under the Small Business Administration’s (SBA) 8(a) program. The SBA 8(a) program provides eligibility for special contracting and subcontracting initiatives and government-directed award opportunities. Because these companies are both 8(a) certified and ANC owned, they enjoy unique procurement advantages with the Federal government.

In other words, a DEI hire.

You can’t tell me these people don’t have a sense of humor.

I looked up Paragon.

It's business has fuck-all to do with what it has obviously re-tasked to do by the parent company-which also happens to be linked to at least one immigrant detention center in El Paso.

The parent company, by the way, is one of the Alaska Native Corporations which were established in 1971 when the United States Congress passed the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (ANCSA) which settled land and financial claims made by the Alaska Natives and provided for the establishment of 13 regional corporations to administer those claims.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alaska_Native_corporation

There are several regional corporations that are part of this and, interestingly, Bering Straits Native Corporation is not the only one in the migrant detention game.

Notably, a subsidiary of a contractor called Akima, which is itself a subsidiary of another regional corporation called the  Northwest Alaska Native Association (NANA) was revealed as the contractor running the Guantánamo migrant jail.

Here's part of an interview with the reporter who broke that story.

Quote

Casey Grove: And in terms of how big Akima itself is, how much money do they get from the federal government in a year?

JO: Akima is massive. And I think the exact numbers are hard to find out, because Akima is a subsidiary of the NANA Regional Corporation. And so, because these Alaska Native corporations are owned by, you know, indigenous Native Alaskan shareholders, we don't really know about what goes on behind the scenes, right? The shares cannot be traded and cannot be sold. So there's very little regulation from the federal government, including the Securities and Exchange Commission.

So NANA itself, it's really, really difficult to understand and grasp the sheer size and how much money that NANA and Akima are making now. Last year, Akima did announce, they did publicly announce, that the company is worth $2 billion, and they have, you know, over 40 subsidiaries within the broader Akima company, and all of those subsidiaries are getting multi-million dollar contracts with the federal government.

CG: Is there a higher proportion of Alaska Native corporations in this line of work, or is it just that Alaska Native corporations are into government contracting, and that's what the contracts are for?

JO: I think it's difficult to say what the proportion is between just general security contractors and other federal government contractors, and how it compares to Alaska Native corporations. But I think it's easier for a lot of these federal government (contracts) to go to Alaska Native corporations, and there are dozens and dozens of subsidiaries, right?

So, because there are so many subsidiaries, and because they are owned by Native Alaskan shareholders, they technically are classified and qualify to be determined to be small businesses, right, and small minority-owned businesses. And so they're able to very quickly get government, federal government, contracts for this type of work that essentially just kind of doesn't necessarily force the government or these corporations to go through extensive contracting bids and negotiations that maybe other companies might.

But yes, I mean, Akima is not the only Alaska Native corporation that does these types of federal government contracting work. I've done a story, for example, the Bering Straits Corporation, they run, or they used to run, at least, a detention center in El Paso, an immigration detention center in El Paso. But a lot of the other immigration jails, the majority of them are run by private corporations, including CoreCivic or GEO Group or other large private prison companies. So, no, Akima is not the only one that's doing this type of work, but it is significant to note how they're able to very quickly get these types of government contracts, and it is significant to note that they received the federal government contract to run the ICE facility at the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base last year under the Biden administration.

 

That's just what I scraped together in 20 minutes.  I think there's a lot more to this story.  It'd be the perfect piece for 60 Minutes to get into if they weren't neutered- Although Biden has some responsibility here too, so maybe.

It's also not lost on me that this, in essence, a story about conquering Americans paying actual Americans to detain aspiring Americans.  There's a perverse irony to it all.
