Moonbat conspiracy theories about Dem convention

Oh. My. Sweet. Heavens.  This has got to be the single biggest absurdity to ever hatch from the festering gourds of moonbats.  From Denver:

Beware of the Brown Note.

That’s the word among some political activists as the Democratic National Convention nears.

As legend has it, the Brown Note is an infrasonic frequency believed to resonate through human body parts and cause a loss of bowel control. Some protesters are convinced that Denver police will amplify such low frequencies to subdue them in August.

“They’ll bring out all the technologies they can get their hands on,” says activist Ben Yager. “I wouldn’t put anything past police in terms of crowd control.”

The columnist apparently doesn’t put such a scientific impossibility past the cops:

Sounds paranoid?

Maybe. (WTF…MAYBE?? – Ed.) But Mayor John Hickenlooper’s administration is only fueling conspiracy theories by refusing to disclose what equipment it’s buying with $18 million in federal money. Even after being sued last week, the city insists on keeping its list a secret.

“Commenting on specific security preparations is not helpful to ensuring their effectiveness,” says city spokeswoman Sue Cobb.

In May, council members gave their nod to major expenditures such as a new SWAT vehicle, communications equipment and an amplification system. Rather than any serious discussion about why such big-ticket items may be needed, the council’s safety committee instead chose to crack jokes.

“I’m not quite sure I know what a SWAT vehicle is all about,” said Councilwoman Jeanne Faatz.

“Can we use it for insects?” quipped Councilman Doug Linkhart to much guffawing.

The city flat-out refuses to say how it plans to use the $385,000 amplification system that council members approved with little public discussion. That’s why activists like Yager are buzzing about the Brown Note, real or imagined, and sonic weapons that cities such as New York have mounted on SWAT trucks to control protesters.
…
In a letter to the city Tuesday, Hickenlooper touted the convention as a “tremendous marketing opportunity” for Denver. Being the skilled marketer that he is, you would think the mayor would be the first to put an end to wild speculation about his police and their new bowel-moving sci-fi toys.

Unless, of course, it’s true. …

Um, if the cops and the mayor tell the world what law enforcement equipment they’re buying, wouldn’t that possibly give the ‘bats an opening to counter the effectiveness of said equipment?  I’m gonna go out on a limb and speculate that that is the reason they don’t advertise their purchases.
