Former CIA Agent Admits Agency Created Gangster Rap to ‘Fill Private Prisons’ By ‘Glamorizing Criminality’

Wait, what? What kind of legal and ethical measures can be undertaken to ensure the maintenance of a 90% occupancy rate” over the term of a contract?
Let’s work together to connect these dots.
In the year 2012 a mere 232 media executives in the US were responsible for controlling all avenues necessary to manufacture any celebrity and spark any trend.
Time Warner as the owner of Warner Brothers Records could not only sign an artist, but since they are also owners of Entertainment Weekly, they can also put an artist on the cover of magazines by next week.
You think you choose what you listen to, but do you really?
Here’s the kicker. BET and MTV are owned by Viacom. When ownership of these mass media conglomerates is cross-checked with the biggest names in private prison ownership, things start to get more than a little fishy.
The largest owner of Core Civic, formerly Corrections Corporation of America, is Vanguard Group Incorporated. Vanguard is the number one largest holder in both Viacom and Time Warner. Vanguard is also the largest holder in the GEO Group, the second largest owner of private prisons in the entire USA.
The crossover in ownership of the music industry and private prisons is beyond disturbing. Let’s make this clear. The people who own the media and are responsible for putting gangster rap at the center of youth culture are the very same people who own private prisons.
They make money from getting gangsters in the ‘hood to glorify the lives they lead. They don’t care about the impact on society because money is their only God. Then when the gangster rap they are promoting influences young people to engage in criminal behavior, they make even more money from all the impressionable low-income people of color who fill their private prisons.
A music industry executive who was present at the first meeting between CIA, private prison and music industry executives has written a confessional letter detailing exactly what went down on that fateful day.
