Fox: Anarchists planning to 'crash' RNC convention
David Edwards and Muriel Kane
Since last summer, an anarchist group calling itself the RNC Welcoming Committee has been advertising its intention to be present at the Republican National Convention in St. Paul, MN this September, even releasing a video showing black-clad figures cheerfully spreading the word.
However, when a leaked plan for moving delegates in and out of the convention center was posted at Indymedia.org last week and online posts suggested the anarchist group was planning to blockade major bridges and intersections, the local Fox News affilliate became concerned that "the protesters goal is to block delegate access leaving the hotels on the six bridges leading to St. Paul, as well as into and out of the Xcel Center."
By Monday, Fox News was spreading this local coverage nationwide, telling their audience that anarchists "have plans to crash the Republican Convention" and featuring an interview on local community radio with three members of the RNC Welcoming Committee over the banner "anarchists plan to cut off the arena from entering delegates."
"We're not trying to influence the Republicans," stated one anarchist in the radio interview. "They already know that people are against the war. People are against pollution and global warming and racism. The Republicans don't seem to care."
"We don't think the political elite will stop because we ask nicely," explained another. "And so we advocate a strategy of direct action -- in this case, not letting them hold the convention."
Fox concluded ominously that "the RNC Welcoming Committee says property destruction is not part of their plans -- but they wouldn't rule it out either."
At the time of writing, both rncwelcomingcommittee.org and nornc.org were inaccessible, returning the message, "This account has been suspended. Either the domain has been overused, or the reseller ran out of resources."
However, a MySpace page for the group lists blockades as part of its strategy and describes the overall goal as "Crash the Convention – We didn’t get an invitation, but we’re showing up anyway. This party will be what we make of it. ... Together, we can derail the purely ceremonial show of this repressive system and remake it with our own hands and according to our own visions."
Much of the RNC Welcoming Committee's self-presentation has been tongue-in-cheek, making it difficult to know the group's actual intentions. For example, after the St. Paul Police Department ordered 234 tasers this spring, the RNC-WC announced it was doing the same -- although "due to a unique corporate-anarchist confidentiality agreement, the exact number of tasers or documentable evidence of this new order will not be disclosed" -- but that "convention delegates and attendees should feel free to enjoy their five-star hotels, three-course meals, and 'gentleman’s clubs' without fear of protest or disruption. After all, if they follow the law and don’t start any illegal wars or anything, what should they have to worry about?"

Same tactic...
The same agent provocateur tactics were used in Seattle for the WTO neocon meetings, when the big Corps involved 'hired' (testified) the 'anarchists' to disrupt and generally create the appearance of crime and chaos, while giving the white wash to the WTO crowd... the only way to put a good face upon neocon globalist groups, and especially in the USA rather than at a meeting in south east Asia somewhere, far away where, as one congressman said, "the public would never hear of us" (WTO).
In like manner, considering the immense "problem" facing the neocon's, with Paul's possible candidacy should the delegates rebel and turn McCain out on the street, they need a good stopgap measure, another reason to suspend the RNC!!, and make it look like it was in the people's interest!
You need people to infiltrate the anarchists:) and you will see what I mean... the money flows well in those groups.
Really it is an old trick, but it always works with a willing media!

Something's rotten in the state of Denmark...
Are they attempting to discredit Ron Paul Supporters by making it appear as though they are anarchists by association to a "so called anarchist group" which also doesn't support the RNC?
Don't be surprised....
...when that exact scenario plays out.

Are they refering to unconventional action?
They have plans for the DNC also: http://blog.puppetgov.com...
Their site, http://www.unconventional... has been "removed" as of yesterday I think...

Oh Please...
Anyone care to trace RNCWELCOMINGCOMMITTEE.ORG?
Just so happens it's being hosted by a company from Bejing, China with other name servers in Vietnam and Malaysia. Do these anarchists pay hosting in yuan? Try getting to their hosts domain name and nothing comes up either. This isn't homegrown. It's the Chinese trying to screw with the RNC.
Does that really mean they
Does that really mean they are from China or just that the company they get their site from is hosted in China?
More likely it's the CIA trying to screw with the Chinese...
...AND the RNC. :-)

Thanks,
man this stuff is just so 007 and that's just my 2 cents. Peace
DO WE EVEN KNOW IF THEY ARE "UNDERCOVER" RNC
using this ploy to make the RP delegates and the RP Convention look like they are involved with them? We already know the RNC will go to any lengths to discredit, humilliate and blacklist any and all RP supporters because they all know that Ron Paul is their biggest threat to the waking up the sheeple!
This smacks of RNC involvement!
Probably
a false front to warrant picking up anyone who dares to be vocal, no matter our freedoms of assembly, voice, etc. If the RNC was transparent and above board, there would be no need for this at all. It might also be a scare tactic.."Ron Paul people, stay home." Whatever happens, they can look back and say, see we told you so. No way, Patriots are proactive, focus, and move forward, in a peaceful and wise manner.
IT'S DOABLE
They are a bunch of college kids
I read about them a few weeks back... They are a bunch of college kids...
This is not a setup ...
But we will lumped in and associated with this group during the Convention.
WAHOR!!
Yea Rhino,
I'm sure you called that one right on the head. I think we all know the potential for that is high, no doubt.
This is when the
SHTF good time for a false flag cry home grown terrorists and pick everybody up. Hmmmm Peace
I can't help but agree...
Obviously Fox is leading the way to create the "anarchist" atmosphere.
In Christ,
Dave

I wish the party crashers luck
they are less dishonest than the GOP. They are open, where as the GOP tries to be covert, ignores there own rules, ignores the will of the people.
