Denver Cops Stock Up On “Non-Lethal” Weapons for DNC

It looks like the government ops over at Re-create 68 will be successful. “Denver police are stocking up on guns that fire a pepper spray-like substance instead of bullets — a less-lethal weapon used to disperse crowds — in advance of the Democratic National Convention,” reports the Rocky Mountain News. “The city received a $50 million federal grant for security. A senior adviser to Mayor John Hickenlooper has said the city plans to spend up to half that amount on equipment, with the rest going to pay officers.”

It is not reported where precisely this “grant” came from, although it really is a no-brainer: the Ministry of Homeland Security.

“Some organizers of protest groups believe police are buying extended-range Tasers and weapons that incapacitate people with high-intensity sound,” the newspaper continues.

The Mark IV weapons the city ordered recently fire plastic balls filled with powder that’s “like a combination of cayenne pepper and baby powder,” the manufacturer said.

It can be fired from up to 100 feet away, said Ben Cook, director of Veritas, a subsidiary of Security With Advanced Technology.

The balls burst open on impact. While the powder will incapacitate a person like pepper spray, it doesn’t cause some of the more severe reactions, Cook said.

On June 10, Faux News’ Cristina Corbin wrote about rumors that a “crap cannon,” also known as the “Brown Note,” may very well be “unleashed” against political activists in Denver during the DNC. Then again, maybe not, and we should consider the source — Mark Cohen, co-founder of Re-create 68. Is it possible Mr. Cohen hopes the “Brown Note,” described as a “sonic weapon used to disrupt people’s equilibrium” and supposedly causes them to lose control of their bowels due to resonance. As Wikipedia explains, there “is no scientific evidence to support the claim that a ‘brown note’ (transmitted through sound waves in air) exists.” Somebody needs to tell Mark Cohen, who is fear mongering, as instructed.

The Just Get There website comments:

There is a growing trend of peaceful events being infiltrated by agent provocateurs who operate under the umbrella of black-ops. The goal is to create radical groups who seek out violence either during events, or on corporate and federal property. The operatives will be in positions of power or influence, and will only promote violence instead of a peaceful information based strategy for activism. Most recently in Canada, undercover cops dressed like anarchists were caught causing violence and attacking cops at the WTO protest in Montebello. The cops at first stand down against their own agents, then engage the peaceful activists. This modus operandi has been used in the past, and seems to be in motion for this event by the group ReCreate 68. The DNC convention, of course, has a free speech zone and you have to receive a permit through a lottery system. It’s striking that this group amongst hundreds won a permit, while publicly espousing violence. This group has been challenged to behave peacefully during this event by the founder of another group "We Are Change Colorado" and their response was "The police only understand violence". This is a red flag and has the earmarks of a operation ran by elements of black-ops to justify the end of our rights of protests, political dissidence and redress of grievances. Thanks to the great work of TruthAlliance.net, this operation has been exposed in the early stages. So when the event occurs we will be ready and prepared to expose this as an intentional act perpetuated by groups who have been influenced or directed by members of law enforcement and black-ops.

Isn’t it curious that Re-create COINTELPRO, er 68, came into view at the same time as Rush Limbaugh’s “Operation Chaos” (also the name of a CIA op against antiwar activists in the 1960s). “Talk show host Rush Limbaugh is sparking controversy again after he made comments that appear to call for riots in Denver during the Democratic National Convention this summer,” reported ABC 7 in Denver on April 24.

“Riots in Denver, the Democrat Convention would see to it that we don’t elect Democrats,” Limbaugh said during Wednesday’s radio broadcast. He then went on to say that’s the best thing that could happen to the country…. Limbaugh said with massive riots in Denver, which he called part of “Operation Chaos,” the people on the far left would look bad…. “There won’t be riots at our convention,” Limbaugh said of the Republican National Convention. “We don’t riot. We don’t burn our cars. We don’t burn down our houses. We don’t kill our children. We don’t do half the things the American left does.”

No, they just tell lies, invade small countries, and kill a million people. Of course, the so-called “left” would do precisely the same if they were in the White House, as Bill Clinton, supposedly the darling of the “left” if we are to believe Limbaugh, did in Iraq, imposing medieval sanctions responsible for killing over a million Iraqis, 500,000 of them children.

Now we have Mark Cohen on the fake “left” calling for a repeat of the DNC, circa 1968.

“In politics nothing happens ‘by chance.’ If something happens, then you can bet that it was planned that way,” said Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

I can’t think of a better way to destroy any positive political activism during the DNC.
