LAPD ENGAGES IN INFOWAR AGAINST DNC PROTESTERS

In a war, one of the first things that an aggressor or an occupying force attempts to do is to take out the communication systems of its targeted and perceived enemy.

At the start the Gulf War in 1991, the allied forces first knocked out Iraq’s communication systems before they started to bomb Baghdad.

In Los Angeles on August 14, 2000, the police prevented the Los Angeles Independent Media Center from broadcasting by blocking access to the satellite truck, using the pretext of a bomb threat.

The LAPD effectively blocked one of the communication systems of its perceived enemy.

They used a tactic of war - an attack on “the enemy’s” communication infrastructure.

The LAPD’s actions can be seen as a declaration of war.<\/p>\n","contact":"swray@io.com","link":"","address":"","phone":"","parent_id":0,"mime_type":"text\/plain","summary":"In a war, one of the first things that an aggressor or an occupying force attempts to do is to take out the communication systems of its targeted and perceived enemy.","numcomment":1,"fileurl":"\/uploads\/","filesize":null,"article_url":"\/news\/2000\/08\/1161.php"},"attachments":[],"comments":[{"id":1168,"heading":"Declaration of InfoWar","article":"Yep, Stefan, lots of evidence on that today.
