Topic: Checkpoints

The world is being organized into ten global regions, with Bill Clinton recently working to solidify the North American block in Mexico and the Caribbean. FEMA regional maps illustrate this administrative shift, which is expected to coincide with new environmental taxes and interstate checkpoints. These measures are predicted to continue despite advancements in vehicle emission technology from manufacturers like Saab and Volvo.

Alex Jones and a camera crew record a massive roadside checkpoint operation on Interstate 35 just south of Austin, Texas.

Alex Jones approaches Austin police officers at a local auto theft checkpoint to challenge the constitutionality of the operation.

The interaction occurs at night in Austin, Texas, where Jones is filming for his local media affiliate.

Alex Jones questions officers in an unmarked maroon sedan regarding the selection process for pulling over citizens at checkpoints. The discussion focuses on the influx of federal funds used to facilitate these operations and the shift from traditional policing, like narcotics and prostitution, to mass vehicle stops. Jones warns the officers that they may eventually be asked by the government to participate in manufactured events that violate civil liberties.

Alex Jones discusses the relationship between federal grant money and the rise of local police checkpoints with a listener who recognizes his voice. He argues that local municipalities are "begging" for federal funds, which come with strings attached that mandate the implementation of what he describes as "Nazi checkpoints." The conversation concludes with Jones stating his commitment to staying awake and working since 5:00 AM to expose these programs.

A traveler's experience through New Mexico and California is used to illustrate the rise of "World Order states" using mandatory stops for DUI checks, fruit inspections, and INS enforcement. The host links these checkpoints to a broader system of data collection and surveillance, including the implementation of "smart highways" designed to track truckers and private citizens across state lines.

The hosts compare modern government practices to historical examples of tyranny, such as Aztec human sacrifice and the "highwaymen" who demanded tolls from wagon trains. They argue that modern multi-jurisdictional task forces wearing ski masks are the contemporary equivalent of masked bandits. They reiterate their criticism of mainstream news anchors like Peter Jennings for facilitating this "brainwashing."

A caller expresses concern over random police checkpoints and the implementation of a national ID system via new driver's licenses with computer chips.

A traveler records a confrontation at a highway toll booth near the Kansas and Oklahoma border, identifying the location as an internal checkpoint.
