Topic: Secret Police

Discussion centers on the refusal of law enforcement agencies to identify themselves to the public despite using taxpayer funds. The hosts argue that the governor's office requires agencies to identify themselves upon request. Further debate covers the negligence of leaving expensive surveillance equipment, estimated to be worth between $20,000 and $40,000, in rural areas where it could be damaged by livestock.

A caller reports seeing unmarked white and red pickup trucks using hidden blue, white, and red lights and sirens in Bastrop, Texas. The vehicles lacked official license plates and the drivers were not in uniform. The hosts interpret this as evidence of an evolving "secret police" or "Gestapo" presence in Texas, though they briefly consider if the vehicles belonged to a volunteer fire department.

Alex Jones discusses the rise of the surveillance state, mentioning thumb scanners on driver's licenses and increased public camera presence. He cites Public Law 87-209 and Document 7277 as evidence of a "total disarmament" agenda. Jones warns that once the population is disarmed, a "secret police" era will begin in the United States.

Mike Hanson reports a midnight encounter on his Cabot Street property with an unidentified individual wearing a black ski mask and a badge. Hanson, a veteran and relative of Davy Crockett, claims the local sheriff's department denied knowledge of the masked individuals operating in the area. The incident, which Hanson recorded for his archives, involved a confrontation over property rights and an attempt by the masked figure to find grounds for an arrest.

Claims surfaced that the ATF and DEA have secretly taken control of the Gonzales Police Department over the past year. Reports allege that unidentified individuals in black ski masks are conducting asset forfeiture seizures of cars and money without proper identification. These federal agents are further accused of property damage, killing local pets, and violating the Texas Bill of Rights during raids.

The use of Bradley Fighting Vehicles and Abrams tanks against the Mount Carmel residents is cited as evidence of a police state. Critics argue the ATF obtained a false search warrant and violated the Posse Comitatus Act by using military equipment against civilians. 911 tapes from the first day of the standoff reportedly capture the Davidians pleading for the firing to stop, stating that women and children were inside the structure.
