If they were, why the secrecy and the high amount of money they cost? Just use common sense, they are obviously something different.

CBS is corrupt and should be archived in the OP. It doesn't deserve our support. Please keep this in mind for future posts.

no, they have a dozen IR lights/cameras facing the streets lined all the way up the tower

hey at least those dudes could report on it right?

I bet if you tear them down you'll find out real quick what they are for!

QuestionEverything

Its all invasive tracking and comm interception. They have aerial net in place, but you can dodge it by taking trains. Not anymore. They will track and ID every person in proximity. 1984 was literally 33 years ago. These new sensors can detect if your heartbeat is elevated.

Any smart opponent seeking to destroy the US would find it much easier to simply prevent the US from fomenting war and let the USG fail. The USG/power structure is basically bankrupt and the only thing that can save it is continued war. (actual war, not the skirmishes of the last 20 years). Actual war would help the USG justify deprivations on the US citizens such that a bankruptcy would not challenge the power structure.

I wish oil producing nations would stop using dollars so that this system of control and manipulation can finally fail. Bankruptcy will be difficult and painful, but it is far better we take our medicine now instead of the slow soul death that is occurring.

"So-called ‘talking surveillance cameras’ that use a speaker system similar to the Intellistreets model are already being used in UK cities like Middlesborough to bark orders and reprimand people for dropping litter and other minor offenses. According to reports, one of the most common phrases used to shame people into obeying instructions is to broadcast the message, “We are watching you.”

Juxtapose being yelled at by your .gov for dumb shit like that, with niggers everywhere breaking all the laws....

SexMachine

reminds me of when they put up red light cameras and people started shooting at them.

Signal collection

It's a surveillance system called intellistreets. The purpose is to track people and broadcast "terror alerts" (fear porn) to keep the population terrified and yearning for government protection. https://www.infowars.com/new-street-lights-to-have-homeland-security-applications/

That's how North Korea keeps them all in line.

Source?

gazillions

You misunderstand. I wasn't talking about towers. The fear porn. They've always had drills to duck and cover protect themselves from incoming american bombs.

Cantilever

I see. That seems plausible. Idk shit about DPRK. Couldn't care less about them tbh

10638718?

They are an inter sting study on dictatorships and propaganda techniques.

Obama_BinLadin

Govt vibrating dildo factories. Obama care was designed to be vibrating-dildo-powered, then after building 15 of them they realized they are just powered by regular batteries.

monkeytoe101

Sounds like bad news to me.

Goy calm down its nothing to be afraid of. No don't ask me why I'm packing for a sudden vacation.

Nuclear, Biological and Chemical detectors is my guess.

Fukredditt

That was my initial thought. The source of funding would be a big clue.

Looks like RF emitter location sensors. They'll use multiple towers to triangulate whatever signals they are interested in the location of.

But with the locations being tunnels and bridges, maybe they are for targeted hack deployment on things like baseband cellphone chips. Or not, because they could probably deploy those more easily through the cell network itself. This must be for vehicle hax.

Alex_Jones

These most likley recieve your data signals: cell, Wi-Fi, radio frequency for your rfid cards. Chicago installed this shit disguised as art! Why do people put up with this shot from their local government? Sure, everyone has an opinion on national/international politics. WHAT ABOUT WHAT IS HAPPENING IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD!

MrG13

Chicago here also. Are these those stupid things on Roosevelt that you speak of?

fuspezza

Frequency emiters in my estimation look up Dr rife.

Either facials scanning or cell snooping

MadWorld

Or ways to spend taxpayer's money. Note they are not mutually exclusive. Is there any goat living in those locations who could take high resolution images or run some RF radiation tests?

badkangaroo

so far there are 18 of them, from the report. that's roughly $5.5 million each. seems like a bunch of cameras and a cell phone tower wouldn't be that costly. I'd imagine there's something more to these than just cameras and stingrays.

carlip

Government spending.
