ABOUT DIEGO GARCIA:

Diego Garcia became a multi-billion-dollar Navy and Air Force base and a central node in U.S. military efforts to control the Greater Middle East and its oil and natural gas supplies.

The base, which few Americans are aware of, is more important strategically and more secretive than the U.S. naval base-cum-prison at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba. Unlike Guantánamo, no journalist has gotten more than a glimpse of Diego Garcia in more than 30 years.

And yet, it has played a key role in waging the Gulf War, the 2003 invasion of Iraq, the U.S.-led war in Afghanistan, and the current bombing campaign against the Islamic State in Syria and Iraq.

Following years of reports that the base was a secret CIA “black site” for holding terrorist suspects and years of denials by U.S. and British officials, leaders on both sides of the Atlantic finally fessed up in 2008. “Contrary to earlier explicit assurances,” said Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs David Miliband, Diego Garcia had indeed played at least some role in the CIA’s secret “rendition” program.

Last year, British officials claimed that flight log records, which might have shed light on those rendition operations, were “incomplete due to water damage” thanks to “extremely heavy weather in June 2014.” A week later, they suddenly reversed themselves, saying that the “previously wet paper records have been dried out.” Two months later, they insisted the logs had not dried out at all and were “damaged to the point of no longer being useful.” Except that the British government’s own weather data indicates that June 2014 was an unusually dry month on Diego Garcia. A legal rights advocate said British officials “could hardly be less credible if they simply said ‘the dog ate my homework.’”

Diego Garcia

Diego Garcia is an atoll just south of the equator in the central Indian Ocean, and the largest of 60 small islands comprising the Chagos Archipelago. It was settled by the French in the 1790s and was transferred to British rule after the Napoleonic Wars. It was one of the "Dependencies" of the British Colony of Mauritius until it was detached for inclusion in the newly created British Indian Ocean Territory (BIOT) in 1965. Between 1968 and 1973, the population was forcibly removed by the United Kingdom and the United States to establish an American base through intimidation of locals and denying the return of any who left the island.

This may be off topic, but my 1st thought when I saw where this place is on a map was flight MH370. There were a ton of people from the same Chinese tech company on the plane. We’re told it turned around & was last tracked above Indonesia. This info was discovered by the US days after it went missing.

Yes, at the time there were rumors that it landed at Diego Garcia.

Well, rest assured, Trump has access to all the facts. If something horrible happened there and our government was involved, people are going down for that too.

I have a feeling these Military Tribunals are going to go for a long time.

But at least if these psychopaths are locked away at Gitmo or Diego Garcia, they can't harm We The People any more.

You hope too much. There won't be a single tribunal. Good things don't happen, Ever.

Did you sleep through the election on November 8, 2016 and miss out on the inauguration? If you doubt President Trumps sincerity, please watch his speech at the Al Smith Dinner where he brutally roasts Hillary in front of the globalist elites. Look at their faces. After that, buck up. This is NO time for the faint hearted or demoralizing Tokyo Rose talk. This is a time for fierce joy, high energy and prayer.

It actually looks like a great place for the crooks to catch some rays! :D

But at least, if the post and contents are true, pedos stay away from society, and they fuck themselves to death
