Did the DNC Keep Press Silent With Cell Jamming Signal? “Officials Barely Acknowledge They Use It”
SHTF ^ | 8/12/2016 | Mac Slavo

Free speech, abridged.

Yet another report has emerged in the aftermath of the DNC convention alleging that staffers used sophisticated technologies to blackout negative coverage and literally drown out dissident voices.

Hillary’s 2016 coronation just wouldn’t be the same without the Orwellian overtones.

First there were reports that the convention had installed white noise generators over the sections that were pro-Bernie states. The white noise significantly drowns out the voices of anyone shouting in the radius.

Plenty of people find it hard to believe that such a device would be used against protesters in order to carefully control the DNC convention and make sure that it friendly for Hillary. However, a reporter on the campaign trail pointed out the use of these machines months before convention ever began.

Listen to the difference of before and after (around 9:20) the Clinton event when the white noise generator was switched on to cover-up the speech and make it incoherent.

Check out the video at around 8:36 (See link at article)

But that’s not all.

Now reporters are coming forward to explain how their cellular and wifi devices were blacked out from transmitting images, posts, texts and communications when they encountered the perimeter of the convention at the Wells Fargo Center.

After several journalists, protesters and activists talked to each other about the signal jamming, the problem became apparent, as Mint Press reports:

Technology developed to jam cellphones during the Iraq War may be getting deployed against journalists reporting on protests against the political establishment in the United States.

While police and government surveillance of protests, including monitoring of cellphone use, is well-documented, efforts to block signals at protests remains an oft-repeated, but never proven, rumor.

And yet, most of the so-called journalists will still vote for Hillary and never even consider leaving the Democrat Party.

The DNC would make Herr Doktor Goebbels proud!

The communists are using electronic warfare, at their convention and via mass media.

This is clearly illegal, and the penalties are severe.

There is really only about 45 minutes of any actual sports. The rest is sob story crap about how hard life is for an Olympic athlete from Lower Slobovia or ANY other country but America. Best to just tape it and when you try to find sporting events you will be amazed at how much fluff comes from Bob Costus. All I’ve learned is how freakin short he is.

Go to youtube for the video, and read the comments. Typical heavy-handed DNC ruthlessness. Reinforces the sure knowledge that the Democrat Party is the largest crime syndicate on planet earth.

Point of order....

Why is it illegal for the DNC to control communications within the volume of their meeting hall?

“Why is it illegal for the DNC to control communications within the volume of their meeting hall?”

The article notes the mysterious loss of WiFi and cellular. Now I will say that the wifi might have been overloaded, and although generally phone providers put up portable cell towers for events, they can be overloaded...but still, somewhat hard to explain. Jamming either of those signals is a federal crime.

It isn’t illegal if it is used by those who MADE it illegal. Capice?

Supposedly Trump was shadowing Hillary into venues where she has held her putrid little rallies. People have mentioned that the crowd is hard to hear at times. Are they checking to make sure none of these white noise devices are hanging around?

I have noticed that at certain times in Trump speeches there is interference from something that causes the sound to go away and then return until the next time it happens.

If things are this bad, I wouldn’t expect any semblance of a fair election in November. If that is the case, what do we do?

Accept that?

Not sure if it is jamming, but under capacity. That many people represents a lot of cell phones. Need to add a lot of micro cells to provide enough coverage. Calls can be ranked, so more important calls go through. Land lines have first priority, then existing cell calls in the cell, then cell calls handing off into the area, then calls starting up. If you know this, you can take advantage of it. During Katrina, I was able to contact my family via land lines.

I’ve read that hotels do this kind of jamming at conferences to prevent people from using personal hot spot on their phones to circumvent purchasing hotel’s over priced WiFi access.

I thought landlines and cell phones were separate systems?

Trump had more people at the RNC Convention than Hillary did at the DNC Convention. Has anyone heard of cell phone problems at the RNC Convention ?
