Denver Readies Cages for Mass DNC Arrests

Rocky Mountain News
August 13, 2008
Some protesters arrested at the Democratic National Convention could be jailed in a city- owned warehouse, complete with metal cages and barbed wire, CBS4 News has learned.
 |
|
|
|
|
Investigative reporter Rick Sallinger discovered the location and managed to get inside Tuesday for a look. The newly created lockup, in a warehouse northeast of Denver, contains dozens of metal cages made of chain-link fence material, topped by rolls of barbed wire.
Each of these fenced-in areas is about 15 feet by 15 feet, with a lock on the door.
A sign on the wall reads “Warning, electric stun devices used in this facility.”
Sallinger showed video of the warehouse to Adam Jung of Tent State University and Zoe Williams of Code Pink, leaders of groups that plan to demonstrate during the convention. “This is very bare-bones and very reminiscent of a political prisoner camp or a concentration camp,” Williams said.
“That’s how you treat cattle,” Jung siad. “You showed the sign where it said stun gun in use. And you just change the word gun for bolt, and it’s a meat-processing plant.”

I’d say “What’s the world coming to?” but we already know what it is coming to. It’s coming down to us, the few enlightened to liberate and education the masses from the bondage and tyranny of this government.
We’ll have to act soon. There won’t be any other options left but a full revolution.
Those who make peaceful resolve impossible make violent revolution inevitable.
August 13th, 2008 at 2:55 pm
I read devices not gun, who said gun?
August 13th, 2008 at 3:01 pm
Does anyone have an exact location to offer jail support? The more publicity the better. Everyone take care on Speer..
August 13th, 2008 at 3:04 pm
wonder how many ‘agent provocateurs’ will be planted there to enSURE that the cages be used…heh heh
August 13th, 2008 at 3:10 pm
YOU ARE FREE…..YOU ARE FREE…..YOU ARE FREE….
August 13th, 2008 at 3:16 pm
Where’s ACLU on this one?
August 13th, 2008 at 3:23 pm
If you stomach it without vomiting read the comments under the story. We have quite a few ‘real Americans’ who would love to be fitted for their brownshirts. It’s sickening how many in this so-called ‘land of the free’ cheerlead for their own red, white and blue version of fascism.
August 13th, 2008 at 3:49 pm
I just read the comments on the article site and now my keyboard needs to be trashed…
Lunch all over it !
August 13th, 2008 at 3:54 pm
1st amendment violations are inevitable. Watch for black unmarked choppers and door gunners. Watch for blackwater security corp. Its all a big test!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
August 13th, 2008 at 3:55 pm
Lynn: The ACLU is fighting the ever important task protecting robotic rights on Coney Island to prevent robotic waterboarding!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
August 13th, 2008 at 4:08 pm
What’s the problem? All DNC activists belong in “Free Speech Zone” mini concentration camps because they aren’t there to root for more corporate control of our lives. Everyone knows they’re trying to harm our society and so should be locked up.
August 13th, 2008 at 4:16 pm
It’s too bad society won’t be able to control themselves enough so as to keep these internment facilities empty!! (although any little activity will suffice to bust someone I’m sure) Then we could thumb our noses at the black garbed goons salivating to put people into them.
August 13th, 2008 at 4:17 pm
Alex jones is not the real truth movement.
THE REAL TRUTH MOVEMENT MEANS THAT YOU MUST BECOME ENLGIGHTENED.
Why don’t you take a step back and realize what that means, being enlightened, that means you can see the pure truth without any objection or judgment whatsoever.
I run a FREE and easy to use website which will enlighten you through a kind of telepathic osmosis.

Jimmy,yep,just like what they did in the RNC,they locked up 1000 or so people for a couple of days.
August 13th, 2008 at 4:35 pm
Enlightened? Don’t you mean “Illuminated?”
August 13th, 2008 at 5:00 pm
Wow, the comments on the original article are scary as hell. At this point, I’m ready to give up on the sheople. I think the sheople just want something entertaining on their evening news. Why should we fight for our rights when there is 4 people to every 1 that are completely ready to watch you get smashed by the police. I’ll be in Ecuador if you need me…

IF YOU HAVE A GAY SEX AFFAIR IS THAT DIFFERENT THAN WHAT EDWARDS HAS DONE????
you know in Chicago Obama is already selling a doll on the seal of the president of the USA.
Like my friend ask, did we miss the election
Go to http://www.larrysinclair0926.com to see a picture of it. LOL SOME PEOPLE HAVE A LOT OF GUTS. They keep delaying Larry’s hearing so he will be elected and no charged for the killings of his “gay friends” in Chicago. Obama already made the headlnes in National Inquiry long before Edwards did. Of course it may be different if your extra-marital sex-friends are the same sex. who knows. Obama is going to give us worse than bush
August 13th, 2008 at 5:18 pm
I wanna see some pics and vids of this place.
August 13th, 2008 at 5:20 pm
And so it goes. They lock up anyone who dares to try to be heard. On the posts from the article, it seems that we have a bunch of elite people living in denver. They have no idea what they are doing. They live in a fantasy land. When we say anything to anyone about what the hell is happening, we are alarmists and paranoid. We’re crazy. I wonder how much better than us they will be, assuming we survive, when they have to depend on us to get them through. Or, will they, like the sheep they are, be herded into the camps, and truely believe they are being taken there for their own good?
August 13th, 2008 at 5:34 pm
I hope the cops fill those cages with Code Pink, anarchists, and pacifists. It would do them good to get a taste of the real world. “Ghandian tactics;” useless in the 21st century.

Dont forget that during our first revolution the ‘REBELS” were greatly outnumbered by the loyalists. The larger part of the population supported the king,it’ll be the same with our next revolution.
August 13th, 2008 at 6:04 pm
nothing wrong with it, it is for our own good. We here in Denver are to busy watching the Broncos to worry with trivial things as freedom. I get freedom when the ball is snapped. Freedom to watch our “rights” dissapear, freedom to sit in front of the “income reducer box”, freedom to take our rightful place in the “cattle pin”.
I mean aint you proud to live in a county that gives you, your rights. With out those in power in washington we won’t be have no rights.
August 13th, 2008 at 6:07 pm
FUCK ALL OF THOSE STUPID COMMENTS, YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE, AND WE DEFINATELY KNOW WHO YOU ARE. GET A FUCKING LIFE YOU ASSHOLES, OR GET FIXED SO YOU DON’T POLLUTE THE GOOD PEOPLE OF THIS NATION.
YOU ARE A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF THE DUMNED DOWN PEOPLE OF THIS COUNTRY!! DRINK, AND BRUSH WITH SOME MORE SODIUM FLORIDE. #16 IS RIGHT ON
August 13th, 2008 at 6:08 pm
hey REB,
Your right, but as far as I’m concerned the revolution was never suppost to end. I still see a lot of torres around the US, just a different monarchy they worship now.
It doesn’t matter the numbers, we will win. And they know it.
August 13th, 2008 at 6:20 pm
Lock-ups, secrete weapons, clubs and tazers, censorship, no rights, no voice, treated like animals, and there’s people that are ok with this. Amazing. Simply amazing.
August 13th, 2008 at 6:25 pm
WOULD YOU PAY A BABY SITTER FOR FOR ABUSING YOUR KIDS? WOULD YOU PAY A RESTRUARANT FOR ROTTEN FOOD?, WOULD YOU PAY A CABBY THAT TOOK YOU TO THE WRONG ADDRESS?, WOULD YOU PAY A MECHANIC THAT BREAKS YOUR CAR?
THEN WHY IN SAM HILL DO YOU SHEEPLE PAY THIS GOVERNMENT FOR THE PERMISSION TO DIG YOUR OWN GRAVE? GET REAL FOLKS. IT’S BROKE AND MUST BE FIXED.
August 13th, 2008 at 6:31 pm
Americans are violent mutated sickos and I hope you all stay in your own country and dont spread your disease by coming to other countries. The rest of the world suffers enough as it is, so keep yourselves in your own country no one wants you! Your animals, you act like animals and you treat each other like animals. Your so called democracy is a joke and no one wants your democracy. Save the world and stay where you are!
August 13th, 2008 at 6:32 pm
Well i think this is truly a great ideal if you ask me because in this moment and time we all need to stay the hell out of the streets..because they are are out for our blood and if you want them to win…then hit those street and protest…but if you want to win this brothas and sista…stay at home..please just stay at home let them have their fun for now…please stay at home…we are no longer able to make change from protest…we must close our eyes and just dream for the next life..there is nothing …and i mean nothing we can do to change this crap..its going to keep going and keep going..it would be nice if we could put a stop to all the lies, but we can’t its too late…most people just want to go to work come home sleep and wake up and do it all over again..we must as a people take this on to the next life..and if not there…then where…can jones make a change…can we really make them wake up to the fact of the truth…the answer is NO …NO you can’t wake the dead..they have dead ears…well i guess what i am trying to say is …its over…we lost…
August 13th, 2008 at 6:32 pm
number 13, nice pretty website you have there. Too bad truth is just a word to you guys. You reference some nwo ngo’s on your homepage. You mention nothing about the 911 attacks being a sham, which is the biggest truth of the day. Most people here will not buy it. Nice screen name by the way. It shows just what a classy individual you are.
August 13th, 2008 at 6:43 pm
what if they held a protest & no one showed up?
August 13th, 2008 at 6:50 pm
a few words of encouragement to the boots on the ground:
keep your spirits up.
keep your wits about you.
keep your cameras fired up & rolling.
& most importantly:
KEEP THOSE CAGES EMPTY!
if, however, despite your best efforts, you should find yourself in a cage:
KEEP DETAILED NOTES & SUE, SUE, SUE.
keep on keeping on my brothers & sisters.
i love you.
we’re going to win.
peace, hugs & all power to the people.
amen.

It would be ore better to identify this prison, those who run it and make it shut down, make it known that those who run this place will be made accountable and those detained inside will be extricated.

‘Gitmo On The Platte’ Set As Holding Cell For DNC
http://cbs4denver.com/denver20.....93930.html
The city of Denver was NOT happy that CBS 4 Denver was let in with cameras to tape the ‘ Underground Parking Lot Prison’ plan for the DNC.
August 13th, 2008 at 9:23 pm
Here is the thing. If they promote the idea that protestors are so “dangerous”, FUCK IT. Maybe we should be dangerous. Pack heat and don’t take any shit. That’s real freedom. And it doesn’t come with any “permit”.
August 13th, 2008 at 9:57 pm
Why u want to protest for. Never heard of such a thing before. Well back in the late 60’s and early 70’s but that was the hippie movement. I do not see any beads, long hair, insence burning, and white man dresses anymore.!!!! Oh forgot the musk oil, and nuts and berry’s and seeds, and granola bars..well I still eat the berrys and nuts and bars, but do not wear the white man dresses with musk oil!!! LOL OH one thing, you have to have the Doc-martin boots, now thats the deal there…!!!!! Love em, I have had me a few of them in my daaayyyysss !!…:)

Thanks
August 13th, 2008 at 10:54 pm
bad treatment of the other side only hurts your own chances with the public. course, these thugs are too stupid to figure that out.
August 13th, 2008 at 11:06 pm
Post 39, yeah you are a retard. You confuse the US government with the people. Bad move.
We are the ones resisting this government, and then we come to a site like this to read your comments. You’re so cool!
Your contempt of us is quite common, and you would feel the same even if the governments were all perfect.
My advice to you, realize that you are somebody! Just because you live in a smaller, less recognized country doesn’t make you inferior, so why are you inferior?
August 13th, 2008 at 11:19 pm
what needs to happen is a massive protest at this site to draw attention to it city/state/nation wide
August 14th, 2008 at 12:08 am
You well meaning folks are fighting all the employees and management of Lockheed Martin Corp., Northrop Grumman Corp., Raytheon Co., General Dynamics Corp., SAIC, Boeing Co., Computer Sciences Corp., Dell Inc., WorldCom Inc., Electronic Data Systems Corp. etc This is the Achilles heel. All the hundreds of thousands/millions of workers and management that thrive on the war machine do not and will not respond to cries for humanity, for peace, for change. Of course the politicians all appease the worker bees/investors for the death machine and will continue to serve, throughout endless war. MOST IMPORTANT!!- Why subject yourself to injury, arrest, even death, at the DNC, while your neighbor, you know, the one that works for Honeywell, mocks you behind closed doors and wishes you to STFU. Our enemy is our neighbors, friends, associates, every piss ant that lifts a finger and gets paid for making missiles, tanks, avionics, MRE’s, etc…all are guilty of serving evil. America will not change, outside some major calamity raining down upon her, folks. Relax, kick back, move to Columbia or ? as the USA is nothing more than a death mill.
August 14th, 2008 at 12:59 am
#43 You are spot on with the International Corporate influence…
“all the employees and management of Lockheed Martin Corp., Northrop Grumman Corp., Raytheon Co., General Dynamics Corp., SAIC, Boeing Co., Computer Sciences Corp., Dell Inc., WorldCom Inc., Electronic Data Systems Corp. etc”
You forgot General Electric which owns ABC or CBS or NBS, I forget which one. But, the point is the freedoms which we all so richly deserve, all human beings in all countries, regardless of race, creed, or religious beliefs, are nullified because of the International Corporate Banksters-Gangsters influence upon the very safety nets which are suppose to protect us. Unmitigated greed now rules the day. Senators and Congressmen go along to get “reelected”. To get the $ to run their campaign, to enhance their life style or keep their mouth shut. The senators who have had “accidents” are an indelible reason for most of our elected officials to turn a blind eye to an unjustified war.
Another point which needs to be made in this forum is that the Dems, Reps or Indis are pretty much all bought and paid for by the Corporations before they start to campaign or run for reelection. So, run away run away to live and fight another day.
Just a little day dream. What if all the blue haired 70 and 80 something grandmas were to show up in their nicely ironed dresses with little white sweaters or baby blue sweaters, with protest signs and such. Do you think the popo would go to town on ‘em? Do you think the sold out media would televise it? Do you think the ready made jail would remain empty? Just a thought.

Some words of advice if you happen to get put in the cage:
.
Just chill and enjoy some time out!
To stave off the munchies make sure to pack plenty of nibblies…you could be there a while!
Pack a few board games to help keep you occupied!
Try to remain positive…no one likes to listen to a complainer!
Be polite to the guards…it’s the best way to avoid being zapped!
.
And remember…SMILE…it costs nothing but gives much!
Enjoy!!!
August 14th, 2008 at 4:31 am
Of course your angry at my post, the truth is ever so painful, but someone has to say it. What is there left for you to be proud of in America? The majority rules you and how did the majority get so evil? Thats why I call you mutated, because some where along the line the majority of Americans turned into something in human. YOu may not like it, but the majority represents you to the rest of the world and you are helpless.
August 14th, 2008 at 4:33 am
This is degrading real fast.
Wondering when the revolt will start.
Somehow I don’t think protesting or court dates are going to faze this bunch.
ps, Rhonda you cut and pasting again?

Well said.

Off_thegrid,
Seems like we are almost here at the same time (your comment #51). Have you been following me? Oh wait, I am here after you. I do not like the way that looks based on my question, so I will go on to the next phase of this. If you are an American, you will forget my implication there in a few minutes, thank goodness.
I think you must mean, am I wearing those sexy PASTIES again, rather than “pasting” as you put it. Yes? (Mmmmm. So tantalizing to you, I am sure–hehe)
Ah, but I see that there is a “Zonda” here and by “her” comment #46, you probably prefer her so you can be (S)EXCITED. Yes?
Bye bye loverboy. What is only in the dark for you, now starts my sleepy dreamworld time. Maybe I will sleep on my beach under the tropical stars (IN MY BATHING SUIT)

August 14th, 2008 at 7:13 am
I think the politicians should be put into those cages and prodded into reality. The sincere people looking for real change in the US should be inside the Convention. They have already caged themselves with lies, this would be the next logical step. Welcome to Obamaworld. SAY ANYTHING to become a tool. Same goes for old McCain.
August 14th, 2008 at 11:09 am

To anybody who goes to the DNC, please dot your eyes and cross your tee’s,if you know what I mean. Please be careful as to what is yelled or said. They will be looking for any excuse to imprison you. It sounds like they really want to use them to house many peoples. I cant believe that we cant protest freely anymore.
PLEASE BE CAREFUL!
And I wish you the very best!
Godspeed!
August 14th, 2008 at 11:42 am
Keep with it, Outside, Outhouse or whatever your name is. Someday you will grasp it.
There isn’t a country on earth that can be proud of it’s government because they are all corrupt. Tell us something new.
You aren’t any kind of truth seeker, you are here to work out your frustrations with the USA. Were you denied a Visa at some point?
August 14th, 2008 at 11:51 am
No sensible person should attend this event. Nothing good can come of it because it is designed to screw you over one way or another.
August 14th, 2008 at 12:32 pm
Maybe it would better to gather somewhere with no buildings or provocateurs . Wait until the last minute,
then call the media with the cause and the location . Maybe somewhere between Denver and Colorado Springs . This might get a Denver and Colorado Springs news crew . Going to Denver just seems like we
are asking to be set up . If we pick a spot with nothing to damage or interrupt , and get one news crew who is willing to report a real story . We might get ten times the results rather than being mixed up with
a bunch of agents and nutcases . One legitimate news crew and youtube , sounds a lot smarter . We will not
get near any high profile Dems . Even if we did they are just going to give the same thoughtspeak BS that they always do .
August 14th, 2008 at 12:37 pm
I guarantee these cages are for anyone holding a sign of any size that is outside the ‘protest zone’ or ‘Freedom Cage’ as we like to call it. Hell this ‘zone’ is located 700 feet away from the Pepsi Center. Check it out here:
http://blogs.westword.com/demv.....nc_pro.php
I live a few blocks away, and I’ll be damned if I go down there. Denver Police are out of control, I know this from experience. There are a few nice ones, but some of them I’ve met simply don’t care about the citizenry, judging from their comments. They will be anxiously waiting with those orange construction nets to round up people. Plus, that damned ‘Recreate ‘68′ group will be trying to start shit, no doubt they are a bunch of feds anyway.
How dare these damn NWO bastard spawns-of-satan desecrate the home of my Avalanche by stepping foot in the Pepsi Center??
Shit, I might just decide to take a video camera down there, not say anything to anyone, and just film the cops beating people so those people will at least have footage to defend themselves in court and sue the fuckers.
August 14th, 2008 at 12:44 pm
It is obvious that those organizations that have taken over the place of the us governmental
structure show and display the signs of the intellectually criminal mind.
etc: mixed Lies with truth to mis lead, Force (police / military control grid to generate fear and intimidation),
complete direspect for any and all who challenge or oppose them, They are paranoid and fear being exposed or caught.
Display of extreem arrogance confidence: Obviously they belong to a large powerfull organiztion or a brother hood that will protect them to a certain point.! plus the more crimes they get away with, without accounability.
Humility: Whats that ????
Remeber your dealing with Extreme Dangerous Criminal Intelect: they write the laws, they give the orders and some one else the authority over you! they are untouchable today.
But tommorrow is another Day!
August 14th, 2008 at 6:01 pm
All, I live in Denver. I just found out the address of the police facility being used to detain people. The address is 3833 Steele St. Denver, CO. Here’s the best part, there is an elementary school across the street.
Not to mention that they just annouced that Rage Against the Machine is doing a basically free show, based on a lottery at the Denver Coliseum on Wednesday August 27 at 11am. The Denver Coliseum is just a few short blocks from this Denver style “Gitmo”.
August 14th, 2008 at 10:19 pm
to all the young people who will be attending the demstration in Denver. God bless you, and be carefull. Just remember, like some of the other postings have mentioned, your prrotest marching will not alter one bit, the decsions that these treasonous politicians have made. Remember, they have made pacts with Evil. Go and learn it will be a learning experience. make contacts with fellow patriots from around the country. Get to know patriots from your own state. you will need each other in the months and years ahead. Remember too, that today you march peacibly with each other but tommorro you will be fighting together…As stated before—God Bless You…
August 14th, 2008 at 10:54 pm
I must compliment both Alex Jones and his guest he had on his show August 13, 2008/Wednesday, the chief of police of the city of Austin. The chief, although he seemed to skim over a few of Alex’s tough questions, seems to be godly compared to what is being planned in Denver. I do hope that he can retain being such a good police officer as he indicates he is and can somehow spread his ways over the corrupted “authorities” before it is too late. If nothing else, the man must be given the outmost credit for coming onto Alex’s radio show with the fore knowledge that he might be hit with the type of questions Alex brazonly questioned him on, which I was not sure if Alex would go as far as he did. So I give Alex credit also. To me, though, the chief is THE MAN.
All right!

When the government is corrupt or as it becomes more corrupt they do not want to hear the complaints of their sheeple, so they treat them as sheep and put them in cages. Wake up and realize that the taizer is the modern equivalent of the slave masters whip.
August 15th, 2008 at 11:51 am
#64,
I know our chief is slick, but he’s either NOT being truthful, or he’s is just uninformed about the illegal immigrant “policies” being implemented in Austin and it’s surrounding areas.
If you commit a Class B misdemeanor or more severe crime, you go to “county” jail in Del Valle. There, they have the method and means to contact ICE and arrange deportation for these illegals. However, driving without a license, and (usually co-insides with) driving without insurance are Class C, and therefore do not necessarily trigger a ride to Del Valle.
The morning Chief Acevedo went on Alex’s show, I had listen to Pflugerville (small city bordering Austin) PD decide to release an illegal who was driving without a license (an arrestable offense) and driving without insurance. One of the PPD officers contacted ICE and confirmed that he was an, “illegal,” and the ICE agent he spoke with told that officer that it would be 24 hours before he could arrange for a pickup by the ICE agency. The officer relayed that information to a lietenant and the lietenant discussed the matter with the dispatch officer. After the discussion about the amount of increased paperwork and having to hold this person in their jail for 24 hours, the lietenant decided that it would be better to write him a ticket and let him go.
And that’s what they did. Other small cities near Austin do it. Coutry sherriffs (Travis, Williamson, ans Hayes) do it. And Austin does it. If you are a citizen, you go to jail, face prosecution, have to hire an attorney (you get one apppointed ONLY if you cannot make bail), risk losing your job, get a criminal arrest record, and whatever else getting arrsted entails. However, if you are illegal, it’s here’s a ticket, pay it if you think you should, and have a nice day.
And when he mentioned his position on the issue of the ILLEGAL blood draws for invoking your CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT to refuse a breathalizer. He said it would be for instances where serious injury or death occured ONLY. Well, I seriously doubt that.
First, there are already policies in place to take blood for those instances, but instead of the jail house, the accused is taken to a hospital to get their blood drawn by a nurse, in a setting designed to control possible adverse reactions to the blood draws or mistakes made in trying to take blood from a drunk person. So, I guess Acevedo wants money to train cops to do it in a jail cell or a jail room so they don’t have to do it in a hospital.
Second, San Antonio (90 miles south of Austin) had a “NO REFUSAL WEEKEND” over Memorial Day this year, and they took 21 peoples blood in “mobile clinics” on the side of the road. The DA for Bexar Country decided that people were just NOT going to be allowed to refuse to provide evidence against themselves (otherwise known as your GOD-GIVEN RIGHTS protected by the 5th Amendment) and be compelled to give blood on the side of the road. It is very likely they will be getting the same funding to accomplish the same goals as their fellow San Antonian brethren. Higher conviction rates mean more money for the departments and for the city.
So, I can understand why people may be conned by his “silver-tounged” rhetoric, but the simple fact is, that the facts do NOT coinside with the rhetoric. There is an amazing disparity between legal citizens and illegal aliens when it comes to arrest “policies,” and there is a huge gap between his stated stance on ILLEGAL blood draws, and what is actually being proposed or actually performed here in Austin and the surrounding areas.

This place is now being called Gitmo on the Platte by some local talk show hosts and journalists who discovered it. After calling in a local team of We Are Change Colorado, I’m hoping they got a chance to film this communist/gestapo holding area so we can make enough stink of it to shut it down.
I however am wondering if this is just one of several of these lingering around waiting for use.

Detention camp Setup for DNC Protestors and Mass Arrests
8/14/2008 In a DEMOCRACY there is no room for a Constitution. Let’s review our 1st Amendment, Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

The Democratic National Committee welcomes all those interested in being in and around the Convention. We would like you to know that we have engaged all Fusion centers, State and City Police and coordinated with Homeland Security and the JTT to make sure that only those who AGREE WITH OUR DO NOTHING WAYS can enjoy our mile high city.
We apologize for becoming paranoid to the nth degree. The cages with razor wire have been constructed and legally challenged (you failed) to hold all of you who would attempt to expose us by acting out and protesting. We know we are completely suppressing your rights to freedom of expression, especially in this time of extreme economic and political frustration. You can enjoy our pretense of a convention, bring an ipod, go to restaurants and bars and down brews and watch some sports on Fox. Have plenty of sex. Just don’t expose us or criticize us for being complete tools of our corporate controllers. After all, we are putting on a show. It represents ever form of hype and hypocrisy people have become disillusioned with.
Just because we are in envy of the techniques and tactics of the Chinese Government during this year’s Bejing Olympics, don’t worry. We are doing it for our own good. We are paranoid and fear what freedom of expression as granted to you in the Bill of Rights will do to expose us as power greedy monsters. Sure there are a few decent Democrats left, but we overruled them.
Enjoy the scripted show. Complain and express what you feel about our massive failures, prepare to be arrested and sent to the chained cages with Razor Wire. Isn’t China great? We bought a lot of this equipment from them.

Not surprising. Nazies and communists don’t like to be challenged. Yeah, that’s what they are and I don’t care if Nazies and communists were enemies during WWII. The political Left always relies on their cohorts in the media to never report on anything they do unless they are pushed by the conservative media to report it.
