The US Treasury has recently opened an inquiry about the so-called “Islamic State’s” (ISIS/ISIL) use of large numbers of brand-new Toyota trucks. The issue has arisen in the wake of Russia’s air operations over Syria and growing global suspicion that the US itself has played a key role in arming, funding, and intentionally perpetuating the terrorist army across Syria and Iraq.

October 2015 – WASHINGTON – Are they ready to start thinking about the next war — maybe even The Big One? You hope it wouldn’t be World War III, but you have to prepare for the worst,” said Lt. Gen. Robert B. Brown, commanding General of the Army’s Combined Arms Center at Fort Leavenworth. “We need to be ready to play against the pro teams, not just the amateurs.” By that he means a nation such as North Korea, even Russia. A ‘pro team’ could even be a band of radicals with the means to acquire nation-like resources in a hurry — such as those fighters who call themselves the Islamic State, recruiting through the global reach of the Web. In Army-speak, the training needed to fight that brand of enemy is shifting away from ‘mission-specific’ toward ‘decisive action.’ And that requires the reacquainting of soldiers with epic battle plans featuring tanks, surface-to-air missiles, Apache choppers and military precision exercised over a broad and rugged terrain.   Continue reading “Army begins training for next war – may be much different, bigger: Selective Service reignites registration campaign”

No, I’m not running. This is a hybrid article about something else. Call it fantasy, metaphor, excursion into the wild blue yonder. It’s as real or unreal as things are to you when you imagine them. Have you ever experienced, with full-bodied impact, a future that didn’t exist, a new day that hadn’t come yet? Have you ever fallen asleep and had a dream that was more real than waking life? If so, you qualify as a candidate for the Presidency…

Okay. Here we go.

Ahem. Let me start off by saying this a metaphysical article, because on that level I am already President of the United States…and if that sounds ridiculous…good. Let’s begin from the ridiculous, since that’s where this country is anyway.   Continue reading “Rappoport: if I were President, if you were”

James Parkey spent more than a decade crisscrossing the U.S. selling poor counties on a way to get rich quick. He’d help local governments issue tax-free bonds to build private prisons that would rent beds to the federal government, mainly to hold undocumented immigrants. Parkey’s model for financing lockups, which he promoted with help from a team of bond dealers, consultants, and lawyers, led to a boom in prison construction. While the jails succeeded in many places, almost two dozen defaults followed in cities and counties from Florida to Montana as the prisons struggled to fill beds amid the sudden glut. Then the IRS got involved.   Continue reading “How Local Governments Got Burned by Private Prison Investments”
