False flag (or black flag) describes covert military or paramilitary operations designed to deceive in such a way that the operations appear as though they are being carried out by entities, groups, or nations other than those who actually planned and executed them. Operations carried out during peace-time by civilian organizations, as well as covert government agencies, may by extension be called false flag operations if they seek to hide the real organization behind an operation. Geraint Hughes uses the term to refer to those acts carried out by “military or security force personnel, which are then blamed on terrorists.”

The country’s biggest for-profit prison companies already pull in hundreds of millions of dollars a year locking up immigrants in federal custody. They stand to pull in even more money if the new laws generate lots of new prisoners.

DEFINITION:

PRIVATIZATION: To convert a public resource, industry, institution, task or service into the property of private individuals or business;

• a political process whereby certain functions of government are turned into for–profit businesses, given to private individuals or corporations;

• to make something that is available equally to the public the property of a private few.

‘PRISON’ PRIVATIZATION is when private businesses or individuals take over, own or operate prisons, for profit and as a business.

The first time private prisons were used in the U.S. was after the Civil War, when the South used imprisonment and criminalization to ‘re–enslave’ freed African Ameri- cans and keep them as free labor.

These private prisons existed as

plantations, farms & work camps,

with torturous conditions, and where many prisoners were literally worked to death.

Because of this history and the ethical conflict that exists necessarily between imprisonment and profit, private prisons were finally outlawed in the early 1900s, tucked away as one of the most horrific chapters of U.S. history.
