Quotes from the "Presidential Advance Manual" (but with close to one hundred pages redacted)

Since it opens with the seal of the President of the United States of America, and paid for by taxpayers of the United States of America, I assume we're free and clear of the "four paragraph quote rule".

Some choice parts:

"Proper ticket distribution is vital to creating a well-balanced crowd and deterring potential protesters from attending events."

"Each ticket type will be numbered in order to track distribution..."

"Volunteers should be used to form the crowd into lines, check for signs or protestors..."

"It is important to have your volunteers at a checkpoint before the Magnetometers in order to stop a demonstrator from getting into the event. Look for signs that they might be carrying, and if need be, have volunteers check for folded cloth signs that demonstrators may be bringing to the event."

"PREPARING FOR DEMONSTRATORS: There are several ways the advance person can prepare a site to minimize demonstrators. First, as always, work with the Secret Service and have them ask the local police department to designate a protest area where demonstrators can be placed, preferably not in view of the event site or motorcade route."

"The formation of "rally squads" is a common way to prepare for demonstrators by countering their message. This tactic involves utilizing small groups of volunteers to spread favorable messages using large hand held signs, placards, or perhaps a long sheet banner and placing them in strategic areas around the site." (Translation: Free speech is only for the loyal)

"These squads should always be instructed to look for demonstrators. The rally squad's task is to use their signs and banners as shields between the demonstrators and the main press platform. If the demonstrators are yelling, rally squads can begin and lead supportive chants to drown out the protestors (USA! USA! USA!). As a last resort, security should remove the demonstrators from the event site. The rally squads can include but are not limited to, college/young republican organizations, local athletic teams, and fraternities/sororities."

"Handling Demonstrators: Once a group of demonstrators has been identified, the Advance person must decide what action to take. If it is determined that the media will not see or hear them, and that they pose not potential disruption to the event, they can be ignored. On the other hand, if the group is carrying signs, trying to shout down the President, or has potential to cause some greater disruption to the event, action needs to be taken immediately to minimize the demonstrator's effect."

"If the demonstrators appear likely to cause only a political disruption, it is the Advance person's responsibility to take appropriate action. Rally squads should be dispatched to surround and drown out demonstrators immediately."

"Remember - avoide physical contact with demonstrators! Most often, the demonstrators want a physical confrontation. Do not fall into their trap!... Before taking action, the Advance person must decide if the solution would cause more negative publicity than if the demonstrators were simply left alone."



I shit you not.

These fucks.

We defeated them in Germany, we can defeat them at home.

What a load of shit. And what a group of ignorami to believe such tripe.

One more thing. One's platform would have to be pretty flimsy not to be able to stand up to a protest. Very telling.
