Video from September 1, 2008 of police making mass arrest and spraying chemical weapons on students and families at SEIU Labor Day concert in Twin Cities public park.
From the cameraman who filmed the event, “My personal favorite moment in the tape is an off-camera exchange. Police in riot gear have surrounded loungers in a waterfront park. They announce, “Ladies and Gentlemen, You’re Under Arrest” and you hear one young woman say incredulously “Are you serious?”
On the eve of the tragic anniversary of the greatest crime committed in the history of the United States our late night video will be Keith Olbermann’s Special Comment about the use of 9/11 as a political tool to promote the neo-conservative movement in American politics.
This is the video played during the Neocon National Convention (RNC) in St. Paul, Minnesota.
The narrator says, “Jihadist are still intent on attacking civilization, freedom, the very soul of America.”
I can remember the days when Russian (Soviet) news was packed full of propaganda and not to be trusted. Sadly now it is the U.S. corporate media who are the leading propaganda masters and the international press reporting real news.
Russia Today contrasts the neo-conservative agenda of the Trotskycons with the liberty agenda of Ron Paul Republicans.
The Ministry of Truth removes dangerous political dissenters from the streets of Minneapolis during the Neo-Conservative National Convention. Nearly a dozen pink clad terrorist were chanting loudly disrupting the peace and unity of “Country First.”
A spokesman for the ministry said, “Don’t be alarmed they will be released back into the population, citizens may experience some bruises and nausea during reeducation process.” One reeducation officer was heard saying, “I’ll pound the truth into her.”
When asked if these citizens should be allowed to express their opinions in public a stern looking peace officer clad in armor said, “Der Homeland comes first.” It was then that this reporter fully understood the neocon’s political catch phrase,”Country First.”
The neo-conservatives put on one big show in the Excel Center this week, there were dancing McCain delegates dressed in red, white and blue, balloons & confetti falling from the ceiling and numerous political speeches the only thing missing was reality.
In an ingenuous effort to appear as the Republican Party of Ronald Reagan the neocon wing who are the ideological soul mates of Leon Trotsky have used their position of power to present a picture of unity by effectively suppressing any real debate over the future of the party.
Nathan Hansen Minnesota Republican delegate interviews Jeff Austin delegate from North Carolina about the confiscation of his American Flag by “secret police” working for the Neocon’s ministry of truth.
These Stalinesque tactics only serve to prove the pro tax, anti-Constitutional, big government wing of the Republican Party will not tolerate true conservative ideologies to infiltrate their leftist political platform.
Reporting to Daily Newscaster from the floor of the convention Pat, with the North Carolina delegation had this to say, “I was there, we had fought so hard to get to the convention, everyone was close to sensory overload. The press, the black-yellow-red hats (different types of “watching”), our “fellow” delegates–there was a lot going on. Everyday there would be new rumors of RP being on the floor or not—-
There were good things, we all got to meet fellow freedom fighters, we got concessions from the RNC (the announcing of the votes for candidates than McCain was negotiated.) We made inroads with Libertarian leaning and just plain everyday decent GOP members, especially when someone would say something nasty to us. It actully helped our cause, since we reacted in an adult fashion to their slurs.
That is why we did not raise a fuss when they took our signs, books, stickers, buttons and yes flags away from us. We vocallized our displeasure, but backed off before things went south.
There will be a lawsuit brought against the powers that be for confiscating private property and unlawful searches. See, the searches, for the most part, took place AFTER entering the security zones and scanning machines and BEFORE entering the main part of the building.
I do have to say that most everyone at the convention were polite or just ignored us. There may not be as many bad apples in the barrel as we have presumed. Too bad the worst apples have all the power. Given time, I truely think that eyes will be opened and minds will again think for themselves, instead of “toeing the line” and holding their noses —–
I’m from NC and I’m proud of our state delegation, not perfect, but I’m telling you, they were good to us and helped us in so many ways throughout the convention.
I told a fellow who was upset w/ the RP people for being so outrageous and impatient, that at least we were Republicans and the party better embrace us or those 1 million plus voters might go to the LP or the CP or, gasp, the DP if they don’t feel more welcome.
Show up at your local GOP meetings, bring a friend, and next time bring more. The only way we can really change things is to be there and be proud.”

Nathan Hansen interviews witnesses Chris Broberg (MN) and Adam Weigold (MN).
Today at the Republican National Convention, as the Ron Paul Delegates were taking a picture in front of the model White House inside the Convention Center, they were surrounded by Secret Service which proceeded to search the bags of all the delegates. They took any and everything related to Ron Paul including signs, buttons, videos, slim jims, cards, even books.
Alternate Delegate Dennis Rothacker from Florida said “We were done taking the picture when Secret Service started walking into the room and surrounded us. There were about 30 of them. When they searched my bags they took my Ron Paul sign and turned a deaf ear to my complains, they just walked away.”
Delegate Ron Warner from Fairbanks Alaska added that as he was walking into the convention center today with about 15 Revolution Manifesto books, 20 DVD’s for Delegates, 20 Ron Paul buttons and a handful of other things, we was stopped by security which called on an obviously important higher up, who directed all the materials to be confiscated. She told him, and I quote “You can’t bring that in here, this is Mc Cain territory”
Dennis, Ron and the other delegates report being openly followed by secret service. He says that they had been monitored from the beginning of the convention, but that now they are being shadowed constantly.
There are also reports of delegates being approached by security and told that they will be summarily thrown out if they leave their assigned chair.

The alarm was sounded at 6:07 PM - EST when a text message was hurriedly sent from the convention floor by Republican delegate Dennis Rothacker to ‘Boris in Miami’.
“We just had a group shot of all the RP delegates and alternates, the secret service came and started searching everyone and took anything RP related. We got it on video though…”

Ron Paul delegates report that they have been shadowed by Secret Service since the beginning of the Republican National Convention at the Xcel Center, following the confiscation of their political materials they are now being surveilled openly with an agent assigned to each delegate. When one of the delegates asked if they could retrieve their property after the convention they were told, “No.” not satisfied with that answer the delegate tried to follow the agent to make additional inquiries, he was told this action was causing a disturbance and a security agent was told to stay with him for the rest of the evening. For their safety the Ron Paul delegation have decided to stick together as a group while approaching the media with their story.

McCain delegates at large have approached Ron Paul delegates throughout the day in attempts to seperate them from their all important delegate credentials. Adam Weigold, delegate from Minnesota, reported he has been approached at least five times by other Republican delegates supporting McCain-Palin who asked him to borrow his pass to go the bathroom. Nathan Hanson (MN) delegate and attorney suspects this is an organized effort by the GOP establishment.
The Ron Paul delegation will be staying at the Xcel Center until the end of the nights events around 11:00 PM - EST.

Several Republicans attending the convention have reported to Daily Newscaster mass confiscation of bumper stickers, literature and paper signs such as, “Calling the GOP back to its Roots.” The GOP has put together an organized machine of federal security forces, McCain operatives, delegates, floor monitors and other staff creating an effective political ministry.
