Alex Jones and the Infowars team will be broadcasting live and
posting updates from the Democratic National Convention in Denver.
Readers can catch exclusive coverage from the epicenter
of the action as the crew document what is sure to be another
demonstration of the police state in full flow.
Already reports have emerged of a large scale police
presence in Denver. The secret service has instigated massive
security schemes at a cost of $100 million in federal taxpayer
funds, transforming Denver into a "high-tech
fortress".
Officials estimate that between 20,000 to 50,000
protesters will attend the convention, protesters have been told
that they must congregate in designated demonstration zones, which
some have dubbed "freedom cages". A multi-block perimeter
around the convention site has seen anti-war activists
confronted and barred from moving closer to the convention by
"helmeted,
masked, and truncheon-toting police officers."
One observer commented that downtown looked more
like a police state than a political convention, with officers
on almost every corner, military helicopters overhead, snipers
on top of buildings, reports ABC
news.
Amongst the peaceful protestors, the usual group
of black bloc anarchists have already been spotted. Rumors are
circling that there may be some sort of coordinated
anarchist event later today at 6pm close to the Civic
Center Park in Denver.
That area has also been a focus of concern overnight
as Denver police officers, firefighters and the Denver Bomb Squad
were called to the Civic Center Plaza and carried out a controlled
explosion on a "suspicious package". The
federal government has also told emergency managers to be on the
lookout for fake emergency and commercial vehicles, which could
be used by "terrorists" to "conduct surveillance
or to carry out an attack", according to the
AP.
This is particularly pertinent in light of the fact
that during previous mass protest events, authorities have
actively staged violence to justify a brutal crackdown
on legitimate demonstrators.

Two weeks ago reporters discovered a huge city owned
warehouse
holding facility in Denver, consisting of steel cages
topped with barbed wire, ready to receive thousands of protesters.
On seeing footage of the facility one local political organizer
told the crew it resembled a "concentration camp", while
another described it as a "meat processing plant". The
facility has already been dubbed "Gitmo On The Platte".
Last week a police
bulletin was leaked which advised officers that potentially
violent protesters may be identified from their use of hand held
radios, bikes, maps and "camping information."
