Remember that, in the last week of December, President Trump decided to send the Arizona 850th Military Police Battalion (800 members) for a nine-month mission to Gitmo base in Cuba. They deployed on the Friday between Christmas and New Year.
At the time, there were only a handful of detainees left in Guantanamo base (55 is the official figure). Sending an 800 person battalion to guard them seems a bit excessive. You could speculate that the US was preparing for a huge influx of prisoners into GITMO, since the base had recently (over past 24 months) received $800 Million Dollars to rebuild not only the Base Housing but the prison itself.
I believe that, before Trump took office, Gitmo was designed to hold about 800 prisoners. (At one time years ago, they had 780 people detained). Over the past 3-years, Gitmo has expanded to about 4 X it's original size.
If anyone was wondering about the PLAN... explain why Gitmo suddenly needed 800 additional guards for 9-months... and why the U.S. spent $800 Million building up a much larger facility with thousands of new cells for housing only 51 prisoners? I believe the planning for SHTF started a few years ago.
From what I understand, the docks at Gitmo were worked on to permit huge ships to dock there, including two large prison barges that can contain thousands of prisoners each. Old concrete piers were removed and replaced with new piers that can berth decommissioned Navy vessels or the prison barges.
There is far more going on than ANY of us know about.
They also added a geriatric wing to the prison. Expecting old politicians maybe? How old are chuck and Nancy again? If I’m not mistaken those MPs were told to expect high value American prisoners too.
That is interesting. Not many geriatric freedom fighters type terrorists. Not many geriatric combatants in general. It's telling that they didn't have that wing before.
If we knew everything, the enemy would know everything, even though I imagine the enemy knows more than us. Trump always said he would not tell the enemy what he was planning to do in advance. I think they gave us enough so that we can trust the plan, but not too much.
And where does this information come from ?
Do an internet search for Military Times Guantanamo Bay Expansion. Many articles.
lmao sauce on those reports
simple google earth images comparisons of Gitmo show its massive expansion
Source
There are many other sources and it's not hard to find.
And it's Jim Watkins' Goldwater publication (as told in Q documentary). Father of Ron Watkins and owner of 8chan. Too funny!
Never considered a politician's cousin got a fat contract for little to no work? That never happens...
This looks to be 2017 news. Need updated link?
Pictures of expansion, links to orders sending troops to Gitmo. maybe pics before and after from satellites. wonderful loaf of bread but I would like to see some butter and jam to go with it.
There are before and after pics on google
I have saved several official RFQ's for contract work at gitmo, including installation of cell padding.
best case: swamp drained and imprisoned worst case: COVID denier, wrong think/Trumper gulag I'm pulling for best case.

Great points! And Trump didn't start any new wars... So the point of it housing more war-time criminals when we're not at war, is silly.
That shit was done for deep state goons!
that's how the rotation works and has worked since around 2006.
having a prison in Cuba at all seems excessive. having 12 aircraft carriers is excessive. making north and South Dakota two states is excessive.
what's your source on this? it hasn't grown in size since the Spanish American War.
South dakota dosent exist.
A-grade hopium....
Here, have an upvote!
Anyone else find it weird that we have a prison outside of our country? It's quite ridiculous when you think about it for 2 seconds. If you wanna know why its quite interesting.
YES.
I spent several hours going through DOD GITMO contracts a couple months ago. The expansion and spending gives me great hope.

99 percent we are blind to.
"Reliance on this construction is necessary in order to execute this strategically critical time-sensitive expansion project, which is vital to the OSD Office of Military Commission (OMC) and national security to support the large number of personnel on the capital defense and prosecution teams for the trials to start on the USS COLE and 9/11 cases,"
