We are living in boom times for the private prison industry. The Corrections Corporation of America (CCA), the nation’s largest owner of private prisons, has seen its revenue climb by more than 500 percent in the last two decades. And CCA wants to get much, much bigger: Last year, the company made an offer to 48 governors to buy and operate their state-funded prisons. But what made CCA’s pitch to those governors so audacious and shocking was that it included a so-called occupancy requirement, a clause demanding the state keep those newly privatized prisons at least 90 percent full at all times, regardless of whether crime was rising or falling.

Is there an IQ test to be one of the so-called “global elite“? Do you need to show a certain level of intelligence or an ability to learn? Because yet another email hack, this time from the account of the ever-creepy-movie-villain-poster-boy George Soros, has aired some dirty laundry that he’d probably rather keep in the hamper.
When you’re rubbing your grimy little hands together and plotting to take over the world, you probably shouldn’t do it by email. Because someone, somewhere is going to hack you. Rest assured, George, the mainstream media will have your back with a little bit of clever propaganda, blaming the hacker and not the supervillain.

The Swiss Federal Tribunal, Switzerland’s highest court, ordered Israel to pay $1.1 billion plus interest to Iran in a decades old dispute over a secretive oil pipeline predating Iran’s 1979 Islamic revolution. The verdict was dated June 27, while media broke the story late last week.
Until the Islamic revolution and the fall of the Pahlavi dynasty in 1979, Israel and Iran maintained close ties. In fact, after the Six-Day War (1967 Arab-Israeli War), Iran supplied a large part of Israel’s oil demand while Israel returned the favor.
