Alex Jones Celebrates The New Surveillance Cameras In Austin Texas   Year 2001 [H24qftPAilk] cover

About this episode

Alex Jones confronts the rapid expansion of Pelco surveillance cameras across Austin street corners, warning that these $2,000 units utilize 360-degree rotation and 54 presets to track citizens. The deployment of facial recognition technology at local intersections signals a shift toward a high-tech police state managed by federal agencies like the FBI and NSA.

Congressman Ron Paul reports that members of Congress were barred from reading legislation that abolished Fourth Amendment protections following the Bin Laden attacks. General Motors integrates OnStar technology as a standard vehicle requirement, potentially allowing authorities to remotely disable cars for tax non-compliance. Meanwhile, local resident Adolf McGee observes the installation of city-managed cameras near a hamburger stand as the national prison population swells to 6.5 million people. The Bush administration faces allegations of using domestic terrorism to justify the installation of microphones and thumb scans in residential neighborhoods.

Pedestrians on Austin's Channel 10 public access show express a chilling preference for government surveillance over personal privacy. Jones captures the apathy of a middle class more concerned with consumer comforts than the loss of constitutional rights during this 2001 street investigation.


CHAPTER 01 / 6 Discussion

Pelco Surveillance Cameras, Austin Street Corner Investigation

Pelco surveillance cameras installed on Austin street corners feature 28x digital zoom and 360-degree rotation capabilities. These units, costing approximately $2,000 each, possess 54 presets and can be equipped with facial recognition software to identify individuals at intersections.

00:35 The new cameras you see going up all over the street corners of Austin are Pelco cameras. Upon investigating them I come to find out that they cost around $2,000 a piece and have quite a bit of capabilities including 28x digital zoom and 16x zoom. They have about 54 presets that they can go to instantly. They rotate 360 degrees, pan and tilt 180 degrees and they're not cheap cameras these things cost a lot of money to put up there I suppose you were sitting at a light in your car this camera could zoom in on a pore on your face or could zoom in any kind of facial features they can install faces software in these cameras with just the flip switch

CHAPTER 02 / 6 Discussion

OnStar Vehicle Tracking, Globalist Control Systems

OnStar technology is transitioning from a voluntary feature to a standard vehicle requirement, potentially allowing authorities to remotely disable cars for tax non-compliance. This integration aligns with a broader shift toward national ID cards, thumb scans, and facial recognition systems used to monitor the population.

01:31 Well ladies and gentlemen, there you have slavery. First they're on the highways then off the intersections inside the city and then next in your neighborhoods like the microphones they put up a few years ago hooked into the federal government They even admitted And in the future, all the cars are going to have OnStar on it. It's only voluntary now about to be standard next year They'll turn your car off if you're not a good globalist tracking you and your family haven't paid your income tax You're in deep trouble Your national ID card won't turn on Your thumb scan that activates it or your face scan will no longer be good Meanwhile, the borders are wide open More terrorists are flooding in And the government is preparing

02:13 to take more and more of our national sovereignty away. And while we're sitting here talking, the dumbed-down population was just now making noises out of the hamburger speaker. Somebody in there was just now making a big joke and coughing into the machine laughing at us over the speaker. This is all about cheeseburgers!

CHAPTER 06 / 6 Discussion

Middle Class Apathy, Domestic Terrorism Allegations

The American middle class is described as being too distracted by material wealth and labor to recognize the implementation of a police state. Allegations are made that the government is behind acts of terrorism to justify increased control and the installation of microphones and cameras in residential neighborhoods.
