ReCreate 68 Starting to Look Like a Threat to Peaceful Activist Groups Jonathan / TruthAlliance.net | April 16, 2008 ReCreate 68 has been handing out the image above on cards around Denver. The left image is the front and the right image is the back. On the website for the group, they identify with disobedience by claiming people should “join them in the streets of Denver as they resist a two-party system that allows imperialism and racism to continue unrestrained.” On their website, they have called the police pigs and are educating people on the $50 million the city spent on security for the DNC. A link states “Weapons Used by the Pigs to Take Your Rights Away!” See the website here: http://www.recreate68.org/ Denver area hospitals and law enforcement have been receiving emails and faxes to prepare for terrorism and mass riots in Denver for the DNC similar to the one below. In the memo, a security alert has been issued including, in some cases, the naming of one activist group, ReCreate 68, as a potential threat.
Mark and Barb Cohen, two of the coordinators of ReCreate 68 are planning massive, potentially violent protests around the DNC, have not uttered a word that they might have been wrong about their past association with a Stan and Delilah, 2 names that will ring a bell for those who look into the Kohl's incident from 2000. Their last names will not be mentioned for privacy. (Article continues below)
The rhetoric heard from the Recreate 68, the attraction of the young people to the charisma of Glen Spagnuolo, the focus on doing battle with the police and the confronting attitude--while losing sight of the issues, the revolutionary fervor, the attitude that groups like Code Pink, etc. just aren't radical enough, the peer pressure to be more radical, the disinclination to disavow violence with the pretext that they want to be "inclusive," --all this is deja vu. It happened in 2000 with DAN. It is happening again stroke for stroke, word for word. The DNC will be held in Denver, Colorado from August 24th through the 28th. Denver immediately started passing all kinds of unconstitutional laws demanded by the DNC Hosting Committee. These laws included a security perimeter around the convention with gates and fences to keep people far away as well as a "Free Speech Zone" which the DNC Hosting Committee will be announcing in mid-June. One law in particular went unnoticed by the corporate media. Permission must now be granted to protest with a permit from the city, but the DNC Hosting Committee suggested that it be a lottery. Those who wanted to protest had to register for the lottery, to which the winners were then only allowed to fill out applications and even then, the application could still be denied. The protests were still designated in free speech zones only and permits must be required in Denver for protests of any group with 50 or more people. Many activist groups have been very verbal about their opposition to these laws, but only one group seems to be getting the spotlight.
