These same oppressive tactics of intimidation and fear have been in place ever since the Democratic Convention in L.A. in 2000, and were taken to whole new levels of fascism during the Republican Convention in Philadelphia that same year. It is now standard practice for the authorities to track and trace those identified as malcontents and to silence them before they even have a chance to organize or protest. This is Police State USA, the powerful with an army of militant psychopaths at their disposal to keep the people from becoming involved in the most important element of democratic society, that being activism. We the people are nothing but a hinderance to the machinations of the establishment, they'd hold elections without voters if they could figure out a way to pull it off. As it is the establishment does not in any way feel ashamed or try to hide its illegal gestapo ideology. Our only remaining freedom is the right to remain silent in a dark hole until you die from natural causes.
