Face Masks, Snipers and Aerial Surveillance: Chicago's Newest Anti-Protest Measures Revealed
bring all the tech u want, the ppl will speak w their presence, the best tech, the human body n voice. this whole g8 thing is gonna be ridicccccuuuulouuusssss, rahm what r u thinking man.
Each time a new measure that the city of Chicago is preparing for the coming NATO and G8 summits is unveiled, the tension in the city ratchets up a notch. The latest news comes in the form of reports that Chicago has purchased face shields, and may be considering the implementation of airborne surveillance technology.
As part of the expanded powers given to Mayor Rahm Emanuel for the May summits, the city has authority to accept contracts for goods or services without approval of the City Council or the expected competitive bidding process. The face shields and aerial surveillance technology are the first use of this allowance.
Chicago police officers, and any law enforcement the city chooses to deputize under the measures put in place for NATO/G8, will be equipped with 3,000 new face shields that “will fit easily over gas masks,” according to The Chicago Sun-Times.
The nearly $200,000 contract with Super Seer, a Colorado-based company, was made as an “emergency purchase for the G8 summit,” according to Super Seer President Steve Smith.
Chicagoist also reported that Chicago will get the latest in aerial surveillance equipment, according to the press release from a company called Vislink:
The airborne units will transmit to four strategically located ground-based receiver sites providing city-wide coverage and the ability to simultaneously receive real-time images from two aircraft for viewing at the Office of Emergency Management and Communications (OEMC) operations center. An additional three receive systems will be installed in the city’s mobile command vehicles to facilitate field operations.
These measures will be in addition to “snipers that will stand guard from above,” reported ABC. Overarching security jurisdiction for the summits, which have been designated a national security event, has already been handed over to the Secret Service.
Dream about Mitt Romney
Was in a nicely appointed room hanging with friends in comes mitt Romney w a helper. He’s being all shiny n politickin n he sees some kids smokin weed and he’s like ’ are they mokin weed.’ I turn to him and do my best to become a mirror to the visage of mitt romney. ’ why yes ’ I say smiling , ‘only the most finest most wholesome American herb we know of’ and in that moment I was him I was mitt romney and I think then he passed the uncanny valley too , twitched , then smiled huge and declared loudly ’ why yes of course, I love! Marijuana, this is a marijuana pArty isn’t it what a fine time we are having ’ and his helper looked at me knowingly . And in fact mitt said ’ why in fact I’d love to buy! Some marijuana can I do that ? I said sure and gave him a bag . Then he was all crumpling it up like herbs over pizza just crumpling buds in his fingers n it’s getting all over everything the floor everything, so wasteful . And everyone is like naw man you gotta put it in something , but he goes on sprinkling it all on the floor ’ ooh the kids were right marijuana is! Fun. ’ then we were on the back loading dock of the building and I’m like mitt your policy your platform all of that shit sucks man, I’m a progressive hard core and I been reading kos since 2k4 r 5 . Hate! Your positions on everything. But personally , gotta say you are one cool dude n I like your style ’ oddly i meant that too . But he met my comments with the most inhuman robotic frozen stare I’ve mebbe ever seen. His helper looked at me with compassion and they departed .
