I thought this older article from August of 2017 was interesting:
Trump’s Pentagon wants to spend almost $500 million on Guantánamo construction
Behind the scenes, the U.S. military is planning for nearly a half-billion dollars in new construction during the Trump administration, including a Navy request to build a $250 million, five-bed hospital here that has been singled out for study by a Senate committee.
Despite President Donald Trump’s campaign promise to reduce costs at the remote U.S. Navy base — at one point he mused that his new Cuba policy might import cheap, local labor from across the minefield — the Pentagon’s appetite to spend at this outpost of about 5,500 residents and 41 wartime prisoners continues unsated…
In two other major projects, Congress is poised to give the Army $124 million to build a new barracks for 848 prison troops to be ready in four years. And on a different corner of the base, the Pentagon is soliciting bids of up to $100 million to build a skeletal structure for a 13,000-migrant tent city and housing for 5,000 U.S. Forces.
Ostensibly it seems to indicate the housing is for migrants, but on closer inspection, I think migrant is just a phrase to describe the type of housing as being temporary.
A Missouri firm that specializes in providing prefabricated buildings to the U.S. military has won a contract to provide a $235,156 pop-up site for defense lawyers to meet with six captives at Guantánamo, listening room and all.
The specifications say the site will include a “Privileged Team Room” with two work stations for “technical and security staff” to conduct “communication monitoring of the Phone Room.” Telephone calls between lawyers and captives have never been considered confidential. Instead, security staff members listen in, with the authority to pull the plug on the conversations if they cross into sensitive or classified information.
Requirements for the new site include three wheelchair-accessible restrooms — one for the captives, and the other two “public restrooms” for men and women.
If that doesn’t sound like it is being custom made for Hillary and all her leg-brace wearing friends and family, I don’t know what does. It sounds like they are testing one pop-up legal communication unit for now, with an eye to ordering more to scale up if they have to. One pop-up to service six prisoners sounds fairly economical, but I’ll bet the God Emperor finds a way to get one pop-up to service 600 prisoners. The bottom line is they probably need long-term prisoner storage, and see legal communications as a temporary problem that will rapidly pass before the long term storage begins.
There reportedly has been other work on piers that was ordered by the military just before the election, some think to allow decommissioned Naval vessels like aircraft carriers to act as additional prison cells and housing for support personnel.
If Trump takes out the Cabal in the US proper, I hope he takes the war overseas covertly, to smoke the Cabal members in other countries wherever they are hiding, because if you only take off the US head of this hydra, it will fight every day to come back. And even worse, those overseas will see there is no cost to subverting American government for their own personal benefit.
At the least, make their names public and offer dead-or-alive bounties large enough that their security will want to hand them over, and the private sector will be more than happy to solve the problem for us.
I wonder how that’s coming along. I hope it’s ready in time.
Will Gitmo be big enough?
