Concentration camp like holding cells built for protesters at the DNC


During the 2004 Republican Nation Convention in New York City, over 1,700 protesters were taken into police custody in one of the most sweeping mass-arrests in US history. Many were held on Staten Island’s Pier 57, inside a warehouse which was contaminated with lead and asbestos. Some were held for days, and without proper access to food, water, outside communication or legal counsel.

And now the government is looking to out do themselves in tyranny in Denver which is hosting the Democratic National Convention.

Not that the candidates of this present farce of democracy are any different from one another, both are globalist looking to dissolve our Republic into the North American Union. Both are members of the CFR and both are Tri-lateralist.

But God forbid you go to the DNC and reveal this information or protest the desecration of the Constitution by both parties, because if you do you will find yourself being tasered and hauled of to the cages built for those that speak the truth.

In Orwells book 1984 he writes, "In times of deceit, speaking the truth is a revolutionary act." And that, sadly, has become the case in this Nation today.

And why is the truth not being spoken, who's to blame for the lies that are peddled as truth? Surely, some are more guilt then others. But the fact is, if you want to know who's to blame just look into a mirror.

Our government has over ran our rights, have legalized the illegal actions of corporate America with bogus bills such as FISCA, they have instilled free speech zones (Which just goes to show there is no free speech.) And now they set up camps for those of us that see past their smoke screen of lies, spin, and Orwellian double think.

On Wednesday, a Denver CBS affiliate sent a news crew to crash the police department’s improvised detention facility, found in a warehouse owned by the city on the north-east side of town.

"This is a building filled with metal holding cells," described reporter Rick Sallinger, introducing the segment. "We showed up at the facility unannounced today, the doors were wide open, and we managed to shoot for several minutes until a Denver sheriff’s captain asked us to leave."

Footage of the warehouse revels tall, chain-link fence capped by barbed wire, and segmented pens each bearing an identifying letter at about shoulder height.

The news crew was not invited, nor welcome. Cpt. Frank Gale of the Denver Sheriff’s Department called the facility "a secured area," and worried that information related to the site would be used "by people who are potentially trying to be disruptive."

"Each of these fenced in areas is about five yards by five yards," said Sallinger. "There’s a lock on the door. How long those arrested will be kept here is not known. A sign on the wall reads, ‘Warning! Electric stun devices used in this facility.’"

Area activists are not amused at the news. CBS carried its footage of the newfound jail to Adam Jung, with Tent State University, and Zoe Williams, a Code Pink organizer.

"Very reminiscent of a political prisoner camp, or a concentration camp," said Williams.

"I mean, that’s how you treat cattle," added Jung. "… It’s a meat processing plant."

The detention site was supposed to be a secret, said Sallinger.

"This facility will not be used for long-term detention," stated a Denver police department letter to area residents. "Arrestees who are processed at this facility will be there for no more than the few hours it requires for processing. Water, bathrooms, medical staff and phones will be available to them. The facility will be fully staffed to ensure its safe and secure operation."

ACLU Colorado is currently pressing the police department for further information.
