Topic: Urban Warfare

Reports from the May 10th Metro and State section of the Statesman suggest that secret military teams, including Marines and Delta Force, are practicing takeovers of police stations, water facilities, and communication systems in cities like Chicago. A helicopter crash in Houston was allegedly covered up by the media. These exercises are framed as preparations for potential chemical or biological terrorist attacks on domestic soil.

Chief Al Philippus discusses the specific hazards of the proposed Delta Force training, which included the use of explosives for building entry and specialized ceramic bullets. Although the military claimed the rounds would disintegrate on contact, Philippus cites a previous incident in Miami where a stray round nearly struck patrons in a restaurant. While acknowledging San Antonio's status as a military city, the Chief emphasizes that he will not support operations that jeopardize civilian safety within city limits.

Discussions at the site turned toward the perceived merger of the U.S. military and domestic police forces. Claims were made regarding Marines training for urban warfare in new black and gray uniforms and the alleged presence of Delta Force during the initial 1993 search warrant execution. References to the Texas Rangers' website were used to support claims of high-explosive rounds and mines being used during the original siege.

Speakers discuss the six-year delay in rebuilding, citing federal fences and land disputes that previously blocked access. The conversation warns of a merger between the military and domestic police, comparing current events to the burning of the Reichstag. Allegations are made that elite forces are training for urban warfare against American citizens, wearing new gray and black uniforms.

Alex Jones claims that the 1996 defense appropriations bill included $8 billion for urban warfare training centers and stockade facilities, which he characterizes as concentration camps. He alleges that UN, German, and Russian troops are training in states like Louisiana and Mississippi because American soldiers might refuse to fire on US citizens. The hosts suggest these foreign forces are being prepared as an domestic occupation force.

Reports indicate that Delta Force teams conducted urban warfare training in Charlotte and Miami, causing property damage and civilian distress. The training involved low-flying helicopters and the use of "ceramic bullets" that can shatter bone. Local officials in Austin and Travis County are scheduled to receive briefings on terrorism threats in June, which critics view as a precursor to similar military exercises.

The hosts warn Austin residents that military training involving automatic weapons and low-flying helicopters is scheduled for November. They urge the public to call the mayor and city council to protest these exercises, which they link to United Nations control. One host vows to film the exercises with a video camera if they proceed, regardless of the personal risk.

The cancellation of Delta Force training exercises in Central Texas is attributed to local resistance and leadership from figures like San Antonio Police Chief Phillipus. Allegations surfaced that military representatives attempted to bribe local officials with $10,000 charitable donations to permit urban warfare drills involving live fire and building demolitions. The discussion emphasizes the importance of local law enforcement maintaining their specific mission purview against federal military encroachment.

The discussion posits that a cashless society will eventually meet significant resistance, necessitating the use of forces like Delta Force for domestic enforcement. The speakers argue that congregating in large cities makes the population vulnerable to small, high-tech military units, whereas decentralization into the countryside provides a strategic advantage. They emphasize the need to educate local police to side with citizens over federal agencies.

San Antonio Police Chief Al Philippus expresses public safety concerns regarding Delta Force urban warfare exercises conducted in residential neighborhoods. Former Delta Force Commander Stephen Berry alleges these drills are practice for rounding up American citizens. Reports indicate the military attempted to bribe local officials with $10,000 in cash to secure support for the training after the police chief refused to cooperate due to safety risks.

Jones discusses 1996 defense appropriations that allegedly allocated $8 billion for urban warfare training centers and stockade facilities. He claims that closed military bases are being converted into concentration camps and that foreign UN troops are training in states like Louisiana and New Mexico. The theory presented is that foreign forces will be used for domestic policing because American troops might refuse to fire on U.S. citizens.

The Federal Registry details the operations of JTF-6, which provides Department of Defense support to local law enforcement. This support includes aerial reconnaissance via blimps, thermal imaging, and training for "military operations on urbanized terrain." Jones warns that the fusion of military and police intelligence is directed at monitoring American citizens.

Sheriff Margo Fraser was questioned about reports of Delta Force conducting mock air and ground attacks in civilian areas. The discussion cited a New Orleans incident where training caused $100,000 in damages and a San Antonio report of ceramic bullets striking a restaurant. Fraser expressed concern over activities that alarm the public or treat neighborhoods like occupied territory, stating she would verify the status of such requests with her staff.
