Denver:”Secret” Detention Center/Caged Free Speech


The city of Denver has been very secretive about its plans for dealing with protesters during the DNC. First, no one could find out where the “Free Speech Zone” was going in, then the parade route lottery was kept under wraps, and so on. Finally journalists got wind of a secret detention center with a high capacity for holding people. The race was on, as a blogger pinpointed the location and the local CBS affiliate managed to get inside and film. I spoke to several protest organizers at a press conference at the secret detention center location during a small, but relatively well attended press conference. We talked about the detention center, but also about their frustrations with the current electoral system and what they hoped to achieve in their protests at the DNC. Thanks to Erin Rosa of the coloradoindependent.com for putting me on this story. Please see her excellent and detailed story, including a history of the building, and more detail on potential problems and conditions.

  • VexLuthor says:

    And the DNC will make sure that center is packed if the demonstrators get off script, with lots of brusque cavity searches. Remember: the political left does not tolerate dissension.

    the capitalistic agenda is the problem, we were set up as a democratic republic, the bankers have changed us into this capitalistic corporatocracy that we endure now… look at the video documentary here on youtube entitled “the corporation” and no it’s not my video

  • evcrawfish says:

    i would say get a video camera, and start to drive the industrial areas, etc…. do a grid search, get your friends involved and look around, be throughrow and like i said use a grid system and make sure you film it…

    I suspect police up her in Minnesota are going to be just as brutal, if not moreso, in lieu of the Minneapolis Critical Mass arrests in August of last year. In addition, I’ve heard rumors of similar holding facilities for St. Paul’s convention being located somewhere in north Minneapolis. I don’t suppose anybody knows if there is any truth to that?

    I would like a government that would follow the Bill of Rights and US Constitution and not violate same. I would like a government that would redeclare our nation a REPUBLIC and not a multicultural Democracy. I would like US politicians prohibited from joining Secret Societies and meeting behind closed doors. I would like the Federal Reserve Act repealed so our US Treasury could print our money interest free. I would like a government for the People by the People.
