ONCONVENTIONEEL

Zaterdag, 6 September, 2008

SchNews | Zoals wij voorspelden (in SchNEWS 644), waren de laatste wekenprotesten in Denver buiten de overeenkomst van de Democraat niets uit in vergelijking met de scènes op de straten van St Pauls, Minnesota, tijdens de Republikeinse Nationale Overeenkomst van deze week (RNC). Het schijnt dat de gedachte van een andere Republikeinse voorzitter enkel te dragen teveel, en de stadszaag één van Midwesten van de grootste massademonstraties in de Staten sinds de hoogte van anti-war fervour in 2003 is.

Terwijl de media van de wereld op de geschiktheid van Sarah Palin voor de lopende partner van McCain zijn vastgezet, zijn de slagen woedend buiten RNC geweest. De partij van oorlogsmisdadigers heeft hun overeenkomst die door ongekende niveaus van veiligheid wordt beschermd moeten houden.

Onze ooggetuige beweert dat wat over dit het controleren verschillend was de zuivere schaal van de onderdrukking was, het toezicht en de infiltratie in de weken die aan en tijdens de overeenkomst leiden. De $50 miljoen campagne zag uit 35.000 ambtenaren van de wetshandhaving op de straten - en dit omvat niet de Nationale agenten van de Wacht of FBI. De onafhankelijke media en de journalisten werden ook gericht.

De vorige Vrijdag, vóór de begonnen overeenkomst (eerste-1st-4 Sept.), bewapende relpolitie overviel doelstellingen met inbegrip van het Centrum van de Convergentie van het Welkom hetende Comité RNC in centrale St Paul, de vergaderingsplaats en de hub van de protesten. De bewoners werden bevolen om op de grond te liggen terwijl laptops werden genomen en om het even wat die zou kunnen worden gebruikt om, met inbegrip van banners en verscheidene emmers aan te tonen, in beslag werd genomen.

Twaalf werden gearresteerd en acht, zogenaamde leiders, zijn onder de onheilspellende last van Samenzwering `aan Rel in Bevordering van Terrorisme' - die maximum zeven en een een half jaarzin draagt. De onderzoekswaarborg voor deze inval werd gesteund door beëdigde verklaringen van politieinformanten die RNCWC hadden geïnfiltreerde, en werd beweerd dat de groep van plan was afgevaardigden, gebruiksexplosieven, en sabotageluchthavens in St Pauls te ontvoeren. Dit was al goedkope bespreking klaarblijkelijk in pub, aangezien er niets zijn om deze beweringen te bevestigen.

Andere plaatsen die tijdens het weekend worden overvallen omvatten de Video van de Ooggetuige - een groep die de film en burgerlijke vrijheden controleert. Tegen Woensdag, na een tweede inval, uit schopte hun eigenaar hen.

FBI overviel ook een huis in Minneapolis dat de vrije voedselmensen, de Bommen van het Voedsel niet, met vier gearresteerd op waarschijnlijke oorzaak `' voor samenzwering aan rel huisvest. De waarborg eiste zij geïmproviseerdes brandgevaarlijke apparaten zochten, en greep wat zij om een emmer namen te zijn van wat zij `riepen urine' weaponised. No it wasn’t the soup they were going to serve up the next day, it was actually just grey water being saved to use in the toilet.

And all this before the protests had even begun.
The convention – and protests – started on Monday with a large ‘permitted’ march. Some 25,000 were out in force, but so were the heavily tooled up SWAT police. Affinity groups organised to take different sectors of the city, but many were stopped from reaching their meeting points, and were detained with ID taken. The intention was to block the road to the RNC’s venue, The Xcel Center (DSEi memories anyone?), and apparently the police helped by blocking the road themselves.

Around a thousand-strong ‘Anti-Capitalist Bloc’ peeled off the march to take direct action – initiating some argybargy and window smashing… and were met with riot police, gas canisters and concussion grenades.

After day one, over 300 protesters were in the county jail. Reports from those who got out tell of extreme abuse within the cells, with many held beyond the time limit before they must be charged or released. A protest and vigil has been maintained since outside the jail, despite a belligerent police and National Guard presence.

In a move that should’ve generated more media attention than it did, journalist Amy Goodman, anchorwoman of the DemocracyNow.org internet/radio/tv programme, was arrested on Monday along with her producers – who despite carrying press badges were held on riot charges.

The next day, Tuesday, in the teeth of amassed police, was the Poor Peoples’ March For Our Lives – of around 15,000 - for the homeless, veterans, immigrants. The police demanded the march end by 7pm, and when it didn’t, waded in with batons, horses and motorbikes ramming the crowd, as well as firing tear gas, pepper spray and flash bombs. Snatch squads grabbed individuals, beating and tasering them. A city centre concert was pulled.

On Wednesday, protest continued, and further raids took place. Coaches taking delegates into the Xcel Center had be re-routed off the Minneapolis freeway system because people were throwing 40lb bags of cement off the overpasses onto them. Our reporter claims it was impossible to walk around near the centre with any sort of camera, given the tight control over media images of the protests. That night Rage Against The Machine performed an explosive gig – following on from their performance at Democrat convention protests in Denver the week before - with the audience surrounded by riot police. After their show over 100 were arrested.

Inside the Xcel Center, Thursday (4th) was the big day that John McCain gave his acceptance speech. Outside, the ruck continued, featuring a host of themed protests including a school kids ‘Walk Out Of Class’ rally. As the empty applause rattling around the Xcel Center died down, conservatives all around the country should have been comforted that the number of non-believers arrested outside during the week numbered over 400.

This year was the 40th anniversary of the 1968 Democrat convention, which shared parallels with the 2008 Republican convention: a mass demonstration against a party convention – riding on a wave of anti-war ferment – which was met with unprecedented repression by a brutal, paranoiac and deeply unpopular US state. Only this year had added kevlar body armour.
