You know, I find it interesting, with all the grass roots level
publication outlets in this country,--including the Liberty
Net--that no one, barely even those locally, are talking about the
undeclared Martial Law that's being imposed in Chicago. Nor is there
substantive discussion about the mandatory evacuation of the
so-called Red Zone being facilitated by armed federal troops. There
is no discussion of the plans to close down major thoroughfares into
and out of the city, including Lake Shore drive, and some highway
routes. Nor the yet undisclosed 'enhanced security measures' which
have been hinted to include full body scanners, on the commuter
trains. Though, just this morning, it's been revealed that no bags
beyond a certain size, which eliminates all work related briefcases
and laptop bags, will be permitted on the trains. No food, no
beverages...no morning coffee, and those danishes prone to premature
detonation, either.

There are also 'papers of transit' required to get into and out of
the so-called Red Zone.

Cars are being towed, TODAY, out of legal parking areas declared
'sensitive' by the Secret Service, which include nearly all the
areas of the Loop, where people work, and live.

Locally, there has been very little open discussion of this. Though
there has been comment on the radio that these exercises are
de-sensitization exercises intended to get the locals used to the
idea of increased use of force, and curtailed liberties, at will, by
the city.

I'm surprised, especially, that the Liberty Net has not raised a
clarion call about this.







I wasn't aware of any of this. Can you show me a couple of links to
flesh out the story? I'll pass along your information to the net!


Thanks,


Kevin, WB4AIO.


Here are some stories that made the local press. Diffuse, often
contradictory, but in conflict with what's been seen on the streets. And
eerily short on details. Local radio released some disturbing memoes
this morning. But widespread coverage is not happening. What's being
published is sparse, heavily downplayed, and without specificity. This
is direct contradiction with personal experiences.

Today cars are already being towed. The tow zone is not clearly
marked, and drivers don't know whether their cars are subject to tow, or
not. City Hall is being evasive.

Yesterday, I saw gates being tested in Park Ridge that will close
major roads into the City. These are recent installs. I've seen two more
sets of these gates at other access points into the city.

I've been personally in the room, last week, when deputies, with
military escorts, informed the manager of a studio where I was recording
that he would be contacted by the Secret Service directly concerning the
possible evacuation, and the full extent of the plan as it pertains to
him. But to be shut down and out of the building by COB Thursday. Need
to know.

Protests have been moved from the NATO summit region, to an area some
miles away, in a residential area, of all places. Permits for protests
are being revoked in record numbers without comment or appeal.

These are the things that aren't being talked about, while the press
essentially fluffs the topic into virtual irrelevance, publicly.

How does something like this happen in the US, without the kind of
outrage that sparked the riots in 1968? I mean...are we THAT ripe for
uncontested martial law?


So, here are a few links. Real information is sparse, and does not
reflect what's really happening to citizens who are affected by this.
Nor is there substantive information about what's currently going on on
the streets of Chicago. Or the extent that this plan may be implemented.
