Haiti’s incarceration rate of roughly 100 prisoners per 100,000 citizens in 2016 was the lowest in the Caribbean. Nevertheless, there is a systematic campaign underway for more prisons. Canada and Norway have each given one prison to Haiti. Thanks to prison aid from the United States, three additional prisons have been inaugurated since 2016, and another is under construction.
(ANTIMEDIA) Who is to blame for the current state of chaos in Iraq? An oversimplified and misguided, if not dishonest course of action would be to blame Iraqis for being the radical, death-cult worshipping fanatics they are and ignore America’s foreign policy decision-making, which led to the current situation.
Death might be the ultimate equalizer, but in the case of David Rockefeller, considerable wealth brought unacceptable privilege and made survival to illness obscene by any moral or even medical ethics standards. On August 24, 2016, David Rockefeller received his 7th heart transplant which made him, besides being the grandson of the United States’ richest man and first billionaire, the worldwide record holder for number of heart transplants.

What we know: The first Fisa request came right after former Attorney General Loretta Lynch met with Bill Clinton on the airport tarmac in Phoenix Arizona on June of 2016.
The first Fisa request was denied.
A week later FBI Director James Comey exonerated Hillary Clinton from further investigation saying…
With mainstream media presenting anything to do with Donald Trump as a scandal, the real scandal is Barack Obama and the Democrats’ war to undermine and oust Trump. In many ways it is without precedent in US history.
Here’s why it is historically and politically significant.
I had recently been asked to give a talk about “being an American Muslim in the United States.” Although wary of the uses and abuses of the term, I obliged.
