Chicago Police Operate Secret "Black Site"

This story is really crazy. I think it says something about the journalists in this country (particularly in Chicago) that a UK publication (The Guardian) broke the story... especially considering this place was “an open secret among attorneys that regularly make police station visits...”

    Nah, these guys are Fascists. But I like your sign off, i.e. 'can they not just admit that I am correct.'

    People get what they ask for. When the Patriot Act replaced the Constitution what else would you expect. Question? Are they part of the Protective Echelon or is this a State version?

    Liberal hubris - Is that redundant?

    Good points.

    Jan, 'can they not just admit that I am correct?'

    this is probably not the only facility like this, in our
    21st-century fascistic nation. -- j

    You may be right, but I think there's a (c) as well, hide in plain site and (d) go underground. These people are full of hubris.

    I think that most such illegal covert ops by official entities are willing to chance (a) being illegal or (b) being publicly dissed, but not both. The American concentration camps for Japanese citizens are examples of an official action that was illegal - but socially approved. If these police covert ops start to be outted and there is a roar of social disapproval (both liberals and conservatives will probably dislike these interrogation centers) then their other-city clones could easily wither away. Discretion being the finer part of valor, etc.

    But there would have to be a public outcry.

    Really scary article. When our government begins to militarize local law enforcement, we really are heading down a scary rabbit hole. Not sure even Ayn saw this coming.

    Cojones may be brass, internal, and totally hypothetical. Like mine are.

    This is my bet too. I suspect that most large cities have something equivalent. How this case is treated will probably determine if those other sites are quietly turned back into warehouses or if they continue to function.

    Yes, I've been reading Rand for decades.
    But when they're coming for you, intent on violating your Constitutional rights, you'd better be prepared to fight back, otherwise we'll all end up in gulags.

    Considering I'm a girl, that's high praise indeed!
    I'm just following Jefferson's advice:
    "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants."

    Just more evidence to those who still think that the government is benign.

    Oh, this is bad....very bad.
    Every single cop who had anything to do with this needs to go to jail, now.
    Gulchers, arm yourselves, if you haven't already. If they come for you to take you to a place like this, don't get taken alive, and take as many with you as you can.
