(America First Report)—The “security” being implemented ahead of the Democrat National Convention in Chicago is the most draconian demonstration of government force that we’ve seen in this nation. The Department of Defense is preparing for a possible bio-chemical attack. Code names are being used for travelling VIPs. Operatives are being embedded in protestor groups. Is something bigger happening than just a party’s convention?
In the shadows of the Democratic National Convention (DNC), a web of secrecy and control has begun to tighten its grip not just around the convention centers, but across the city of Chicago, hinting at a much larger, more sinister operation at play.
Overnight, the city transformed into a fortress, with security measures that seem to extend far beyond what would be necessary for a mere political gathering. At the Dirksen Federal Building, security gates materialized like specters in the early morning mist, a clear sign to those in the know that something more than vandalism prevention was afoot.
The Magnificent Mile and Gold Coast, areas not traditionally associated with political events, have been barricaded with an intensity that suggests they are preparing for a siege rather than a convention. Residents like Chris McClendon were caught off guard, “They did it under the wraps,” he noted, hinting at a clandestine operation where even the locals are kept in the dark.
The sudden road closures, unexpected security checks, and the marking of manhole covers with tamper-evident seals scream of a preparation for something beyond the public’s comprehension. Could these be the first signs of a lockdown or even a trial run for martial law?
David Woulard’s comment on the necessity of secrecy for “complete level of safety and security” might be the closest we get to an admission. But safety from what? The presence of diplomats, as he suggests, could indeed require high security, but why the extensive measures in residential areas?
The sealing of manhole covers, a detail not lost on conspiracy theorists, points to fears of subterranean threats, perhaps a nod to the urban legends of underground tunnels used for secretive government operations or even as escape routes for the elite in times of crisis.
The excessive security, as McClendon felt, akin to entering a “jail,” might not be just about keeping threats out, but also about keeping something—or someone—in. Could this be a setup for an event where control over the populace is paramount, possibly to quell any dissent or uprising during the convention?
The Public Safety Joint Information Center’s vague announcements about road closures only fuel the fire. Why the need for such widespread and sudden security if not to prepare for an eventuality that they’re not telling us about?
This isn’t just about protecting a political event; it’s about setting a precedent for how control can be exerted over a city, under the guise of security. The real question remains: What are they truly preparing for, and who benefits from this level of control and secrecy? The DNC might just be the cover for something much larger, a test run for future scenarios where such measures could become the norm, not the exception.
