00:00:00.000 Too many criminals and far too many crimes.
00:00:03.000 I'm locking every window and I'm poking every door.
00:00:06.000 The tool I'm using so is that will even up the score.
00:00:10.000 You can race, you can race, you can make your demands.
00:00:14.000 And take my gun from my cold, dead hands.
00:00:18.000 There are colossal corporations, they have billions left to pay.
00:00:29.000 The greedy politicians who make sure things go their way.
00:00:33.000 They catch up with the poverty and the left from day to day.
00:00:37.000 There were people who said, "We don't get to have a say."
00:00:40.000 [inaudible]
00:00:44.000 [Music]
00:01:11.000 We'll downsize our defenses, give our bases all away.
00:01:14.000 To the UN, to all the people, and we'll keep just what they say.
00:01:18.000 Take your globalist agenda and your New World Order plans, and you can take my gun from my cold, dead hand.
00:01:30.000 Hello Austin, Texas.
00:01:31.000 My name is Alex Jones and this is the Freedom Report.
00:01:35.000 Every Monday evening from 9 to 10 o'clock right here on Austin Community Television Channel 10.
00:01:42.000 Dedicated to bringing you the vital information.
00:01:45.000 No teleprompters.
00:01:47.000 No BS.
00:01:48.000 No groupthink culture.
00:01:50.000 No peer pressure conditioning modes here.
00:01:52.000 Absolute fire-breathing information dedicated to smashing the hole that the European police state has on this nation.
00:02:01.000 A lot to talk about tonight.
00:02:04.000 We'll talk about Bill Clinton.
00:02:05.000 Looks like he may get off scot-free, as I guessed months ago when many of you were celebrating.
00:02:12.000 Also, we have the story of Joe Campana.
00:02:15.000 His home is built, the volunteers are fabulous, and it just shows what the community can do.
00:02:22.000 We also have a story that integrates into this from the front page of the Houston Chronicle today.
00:02:29.000 Also, we have a story from FreeRepublic.com, a major internet news service, highly respected, about the National Guard fingerprinting Girl Scout troops all across the country.
00:02:44.000 Again, the military working with your children.
00:02:46.000 It's so American.
00:02:49.000 They never did anything like that in Germany or Russia.
00:02:52.000 Or, any other nation for that matter, like China under a very loving regime.
00:03:01.000 We've got so much to talk about this evening, we've got an hour to do it, but coming up at 10.30 tonight, we're going off the air at 10, but coming up at 10.30 tonight, the premiere of Infowar!
00:03:13.000 Thanks to Mark Hanson and Melissa Hanson and all their fabulous work, we have a brand new program to offer you.
00:03:19.000 I will stop doing the Freedom Report coming up in about a month, but for the next month you're going to have two shows on Monday night.
00:03:27.000 So it's going to be quite interesting.
00:03:30.000 We have an hour and a half on Infowars.
00:03:32.000 That means you'll be seeing some of our taped produced pieces for you.
00:03:37.000 Coming up tonight at 10.30, we're going to re-air the 20-something minute piece on the Hebron gun confiscations.
00:03:44.000 I got some new video from that, from what happened in late 1998 in September, and we're going to be airing that for all of you as well tonight.
00:03:52.000 So you've got us until 10, and then take a break for... watch some media propaganda for 30 minutes, so you can tune back in right here to Channel 10 for Infowar.
00:04:02.000 Channel 10, correct, Mike?
00:04:04.000 Yes, Infowar, which is also going to be the premier website we're launching.
00:04:10.000 That would have been done weeks ago, but we had to build a home for a World War II veteran, as well as a Korean War veteran, and nuclear test subject.
00:04:19.000 We have the documents on that.
00:04:20.000 We have all his records.
00:04:22.000 Then we're the statesmen trying to act like, well, he's in the military, but we have the records on that.
00:04:28.000 So, fantastic job to everybody.
00:04:31.000 Let me go ahead and jump in to these news stories.
00:04:35.000 First off, we have the Sunday Austin Un-American Statesman, I'm sorry, the Austin American Statesman here for you.
00:04:45.000 Metro and State, front page, there's also a little front page teaser in the paper, the actual front page, the section 1.
00:04:53.000 Metro and State, after 13 days flurry of spirit, veteran has a new home.
00:04:59.000 And it talks about the spirit of America and how Joe Campana's a good guy.
00:05:03.000 I have to admit, Mary Ann Roser's article is 10 times better than Ben Weir's article.
00:05:11.000 We want to thank her for putting some of the real information in there.
00:05:15.000 Now, here's an important quote.
00:05:16.000 Campana's words touched the politically diverse crowd, which included city council member Willie Lewis, who sped up the building permit process.
00:05:27.000 Well, we started without permits.
00:05:29.000 We were giving the city a black eye.
00:05:31.000 There were a couple of bulldozers the next day, two Sundays ago.
00:05:34.000 We ignored them.
00:05:34.000 We went surging forward, thanks to all the great people.
00:05:38.000 Right past the naysayers that I said, we're not listening to King Richard.
00:05:42.000 Get out of our way.
00:05:43.000 Willie Lewis, who sped up the building permit process, and others known for any government use, who one guest called the Black Helicopter Crowd.
00:05:53.000 Yeah, that was the head guy for the VA who didn't do a damn thing for Joe, and who showed up to give a ten-minute speech and try to take the credit.
00:05:59.000 Which is fine, we don't care as long as he has a new home. 0.75
00:06:04.000 Unbelievable.
00:06:05.000 Who one guest called the Black Helicopter Crowd.
00:06:08.000 They included Alex Jones, who emceed the day's event, And Hanson and his building partner Steve Wayne of Mountain View Homes Incorporated. 0.95
00:06:19.000 Well, absolutely ridiculous. 0.92
00:06:21.000 Anti-government. 0.99
00:06:22.000 You bet I'm anti-corrupt government.
00:06:24.000 I'm anti-misinformation.
00:06:26.000 Propaganda.
00:06:28.000 Manipulation.
00:06:29.000 Absolutely.
00:06:31.000 I'm against the government training centers that have dumbed down our kids from number 1 50 years ago to number 49 today behind 20-something third world nations. 0.99
00:06:39.000 Absolutely.
00:06:40.000 But you have this article talking about the anti-government black helicopter people.
00:06:47.000 And then you have, this was from Sunday, from yesterday, Here's a gentleman that cut his leg open on the site, of course, to the Sioux.
00:06:55.000 Then we have the Houston Chronicle from today.
00:06:59.000 And if I can get a shot of this, I'll be glad.
00:07:00.000 There's the new home right there.
00:07:02.000 Here's today's Houston Chronicle.
00:07:04.000 Well, this is the tape program of the future.
00:07:06.000 Monday, February 8, 1999.
00:07:08.000 Fourth Ward Project on verge of collapse.
00:07:18.000 has commenced among board members of the Houston Renaissance Incorporated, a non-governmental organization I should add, about conceding that their city-sponsored fourth ward revitalization effort is a failure and turning the project over to Mayor Lee Brown.
00:07:39.000 Now again, we're not here trying to bad mouth non-governmental organizations, or Habitat for Humanity, or any of these other groups, but listen to this.
00:07:50.000 Staggering debt, ongoing investigations, uncertain land prices, and the lack of a visible plan to deliver affordable housing foretell the collapse of the project, according to a board member, and internal memorandums surrounding the effort.
00:08:08.000 Now here's the key information.
00:08:10.000 You're going to be absolutely blown away.
00:08:11.000 Here are citizens in less than 13 days, a Travis County, City of Austin record, less than 13 days, a fully functional furnished home built.
00:08:22.000 Actually about 12 and a half days.
00:08:24.000 A city record.
00:08:26.000 County record.
00:08:28.000 Current debts of the organization.
00:08:31.000 Now this is in Houston.
00:08:33.000 Listen how much money this organization got that went to government to get the money.
00:08:36.000 Didn't just have citizens split up.
00:08:38.000 Current debt to the organization are estimated at more than 6.6 million.
00:08:43.000 It also has spent a 3.4 million grant provided by the city to subsidize affordable housing in the 4th Ward.
00:08:50.000 Government housing, the 4th Ward.
00:08:52.000 These hives of modern plantations.
00:08:58.000 In spite of the expenses and years of work, not a single home has been built.
00:09:05.000 Also, they incurred another additional $1.5 million in 1998 on top of the other $6.6 and $3.4 million for a total of $11.5 million!
00:09:19.000 Repeat, $11.5 million that this non-governmental parasite organization in conjunction with the city of Houston.
00:09:27.000 Let me read it one more time.
00:09:29.000 In spite of the expense and years of work, not a single home has been built, Not a single home has been built.
00:09:40.000 Here we are breaking city and county records, probably state records, 13 days, fully functional, built.
00:09:46.000 We started without permits.
00:09:48.000 We had engineers on site that volunteered for my radio program.
00:09:53.000 Think about that.
00:09:55.000 Done, built, moved into in 13 days.
00:10:00.000 Thanks to citizens.
00:10:01.000 At about $8,000 cost from the materials that we've tabulated up until now.
00:10:07.000 Citizens!
00:10:09.000 Citizens!
00:10:11.000 Calhoun, Willamette, Kerry, and Sheetrock turned it the wrong way.
00:10:14.000 Just think about that!
00:10:16.000 I want you guys to think about that!
00:10:19.000 And here is this organization, the Houston Renaissance Incorporated.
00:10:24.000 Houston Renaissance Incorporated.
00:10:27.000 $11.5 million.
00:10:28.000 Not a single home built in four plus years.
00:10:33.000 That's government.
00:10:35.000 That's government trying to get some free market, but the whole thing's a lemon.
00:10:40.000 Where'd the $11.5 million go?
00:10:42.000 We all know where it went.
00:10:43.000 We're not stupid. 0.92
00:10:46.000 So I want you all to think about that. 0.97
00:10:49.000 A great example about how command and control doesn't work, the corrupt parasites that position themselves along the trail of construction, take over, reward, take the money, the directors of these organizations sometimes being paid over $300,000 in some cities, $300,000 a year in some of these cities, for these Private groups that take city money so it'll be run better.
00:11:11.000 I wonder if those private groups put money in the politicians' pockets before they get elected?
00:11:17.000 Hmm.
00:11:18.000 Very, very interesting.
00:11:20.000 Here we are, grassroots, building without permits, and then later the city says, okay, we'll give you permits, we won't throw those in the house, because it was a public relations blackout.
00:11:30.000 And then you have a brand new home being built in less than 13 days.
00:11:38.000 This is Rowland Ellingson.
00:11:39.000 Put him back up on the screen.
00:11:41.000 Rowland Ellingson, a year and a half ago, got $2,000 a day fines.
00:11:45.000 That's not Rowland Ellingson.
00:11:46.000 For having three inch grass.
00:11:50.000 We showed you the tickets.
00:11:52.000 We showed you the police coming out of the home.
00:11:55.000 We showed it all to you.
00:11:56.000 We showed you the city council.
00:11:58.000 We showed you the health department. 0.99
00:11:59.000 How hypocritical they are. 0.78
00:12:01.000 And just last month, Roland Ellingson won his final court case for the free interest. 0.96
00:12:07.000 There's a World War II veteran right there for you.
00:12:09.000 Another elderly gentleman who built his home in 1947 on West 37th Street and was harassed by the city for his premium property.
00:12:19.000 We're going to expose you, one by one, with the information that it takes to stop you.
00:12:25.000 You're not going to make us back down.
00:12:27.000 You don't have a snowball chance in hell.
00:12:29.000 The people are on to you.
00:12:30.000 There's Jesse Estry, he did a great job.
00:12:32.000 There's Willie Lewis, on scene.
00:12:34.000 The only city councilman to come out.
00:12:37.000 And we do appreciate him doing that.
00:12:40.000 Steve Lane.
00:12:42.000 And there's the VA guy, there to take all the credit, never dropped by once.
00:12:47.000 And there's the great fire department with Vic Grayland and others.
00:12:50.000 Thank God for our wonderful fire department that still helps old people get up and still get the cats out of trees. 1.00
00:12:56.000 I wish the police would take a cue from our fabulous Austin Fire Department.
00:13:01.000 God bless the firemen who did come out and help on their off times.
00:13:10.000 I want to vomit about what this country's become, but I also want to feel good that there's still decent people out there.
00:13:19.000 Now, let me get to the very serious issues and then we'll get to the video clips of Joe Campana.
00:13:29.000 There were dozens of news stories just on KI alone.
00:13:32.000 Five or six on Fox.
00:13:34.000 Five or six on KI.
00:13:35.000 The WB did a couple stories.
00:13:38.000 NBC did some stories.
00:13:40.000 Phenomenal media coverage after we started defying them.
00:13:45.000 We do want to thank the media for that, especially KI and Julie.
00:13:50.000 But, now we need to get into the serious issues, the very serious issues.
00:13:55.000 Also from today's Houston Chronicle, Senators grapple with unavoidable, inevitable, acquittable.
00:14:04.000 Acquittable.
00:14:04.000 I keep saying that all day.
00:14:05.000 Acquittable.
00:14:07.000 And you have quotes from Senators in here saying there's no way that we're going to convict Clinton, even before they start their deliberations tomorrow.
00:14:16.000 They had their closing arguments today, both the prosecutors in the House, the House managers, and Bill Clinton's collection of criminals, many of which are already under indictment or investigation while they're defending him.
00:14:29.000 Very, very interesting.
00:14:32.000 This is what our country's come to.
00:14:33.000 I told you Bill Clinton, they want him in office for Y2K, for all these manufactured crises, to put the Hegelian principle into effect, problem, reaction, solution. 0.98
00:14:44.000 The National Guard is scheduled to be on its biggest mobilization ever since World War II.
00:14:50.000 Operation ComEx, Splash, MobEx.
00:14:54.000 Very, very important.
00:14:57.000 I'll get to this in a second, but let's go ahead and start going to the news pieces.
00:15:02.000 Mike, can we just run through all those news pieces at once?
00:15:06.000 We're going to go through a whole screw-up news story from the start to the end, right here on The Freedom Report.
00:15:12.000 And when we get back, we'll take some of your phone calls.
00:15:15.000 Again, my name is Alex Jones.
00:15:17.000 Mike Hanson and Melissa Hanson are doing a fabulous job, along with the other crew.
00:15:20.000 And we'll be right back for 30-something more minutes of programming, then back at 10.30 for our new program, Infowar.
00:15:28.000 Because we are in a propaganda war, and you need to get in the game.
00:15:33.000 Are you ready for that, Kate?
