Camp Structure
An OSINT Journey

Map of the intended camp known as Alligator Alcatraz in July 2025

Tent skeleton of steel frame / preformed

Tents with covering in place, as floor panels are installed under them using the shade of the roof areas

The camp itself, from the North, where the buses come in to let prisoners out down that long tent hallway to the end, where they approach a gate in the green fence at the middle of the picture.

It’s funny to see Olivia Reingold complain about her ex-friend who comes from “media royalty” when she herself is media royalty. Dad was NBC Asia top brass and then bought six local CBS stations. She’s a Columbia legacy, and Michael Barbaro interviewed her for a WaPo puff piece when she was 10.

By Michael Barbaro
Celia and Olivia Reingold, owners of a District-based toy company, registered for the world's biggest toy show this year, convinced they would make strong connections across the industry. With more than 80 products, their company, they reasoned, was ready to play ball with the toy business's biggest players.
The toy fair's organizers didn't see it that way.
It turns out Celia, 13, and Olivia, 10, are too young to attend. Citing a longstanding policy, organizers of American International Toy Fair said it does not allow anyone under 18 to enter the conference, which ended yesterday in New York.
The girls said they are baffled by the policy.
"I don't think it's very fair," Olivia said in an interview yesterday. "We are managing our own business."

Democracy is for those who seek to Govern.

The Junta has declared its intention to Rule.

These are not the same game anymore.

I can trust Democracy when it's an election between parties that want to GOVERN.

That is not what has been happening.

Yeah that's a dumb cipher
N = E
O = C
K = P
i = A
N = Y (oops)
G = C (oops)
S= H

Can't decode that cipher.

I dunno, Bari Weiss deciding to finally find out what reporting is all about is kinda refreshing, I wonder what she will learn about it?

Will she write a report?

My Paternal Grandfather changed his surname to the English spelling during this, or his Father. My Dad told it both ways. It happened during WW1 and because he worked for the RR at the time as a Bull.

“It was President Woodrow Wilson, not Adolf Hitler, who first condemned foreign-born residents for pouring "the poison of disloyalty into the very arteries" of American life.” www.liberalcurrents.com/the-politics...

The Politics of Fear in American History

The precedents for the violence and overt use of state power we are now experiencing can be found in the 1910s and 1920s rather than the 1930s and 1940s.

Their brains serve as the irrational component of the equation, otherwise neither side can surprise the other in the endless war between the synthetics.

OK now the same thing but it's 1975 and it's being said by a Conservative thinker. Slightly longer format.
