MYSTERIOUS METAL TOWERS POPPING UP OVER NEW YORK CITY AND NO-ONE'S TALKING
Concerned New York City residents have recently noticed mysterious metal towers popping up
at local tunnels. Now information has come out revealing that soon they will begin to
be built around bridges as well. Those in charge of the MTA - those in charge of the
towers - will not say why they are being used, or what exactly they even are. Jose Lugo,
a resident, said the tall metal towers appeared shortly after the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel
toll booths were demolished. GOVERNMENT SURVEILLANCE CENTERS BEING BUILT IN NEW YORK? �We don�t
really know what�s the purpose of this, � he said. What is known is that it is a
$100 million MTA project shrouded in secrecy and that 18 of them will be built around tunnels
and bridges in the city. But what ARE they? MTA's man in charge of the bridges and tunnels,
Cedrick Fulton, has dodged the issue when asked about it.
�I said no comment, � he repeated several times when asked.
Some of the MTA board members, including New York City Transportation Commissioner Polly
Trottenberg, claim that they are also in the dark � even though half the money has already
been spent and some of the towers are already up. �A lot of the board members felt they
didn�t have all the details they would have wanted, myself included, � she said. Residents
are generally confident that there is a lot more going on than meets the eye, and many
of them are uncertain if the populace at large will ever be allowed to find out what is going
on inside of the pillars. �I�m going to guess that it�s not just a decoration, � Alyssa
Renkas, of the Upper West Side, said. �It�s a bit mind-boggling that the MTA is approving
$100 million for what appears to us to be big, decorative pylons, � says John Kaehny,
the leader of a local watchdog group named Reinvent Albany. �What we�re asking for
is transparency from the MTA.� Locals soon began to demand answers and started asking
their representatives questions. One man pointed out, �Some of your own board members say
they don�t know the specifics.� Lhota responded, �The base of these new pieces
that are going up include whatever fiber optics are necessary for those Homeland Security
items.� From that comment, it seems that what New Yorkers may be dealing with is anti-terror
technology. Some are concerned that this technology could that one day include facial recognition
software. At this time, the public does not know, and Lhota won�t say. �I�m not
at liberty to discuss that, � he told Carlin. So as more of these expensive towers are constructed,
with whatever surveillance technology they may have, their mysteries remain tucked inside.
What Lhota was willing to say is that all necessary Homeland Security technology remains
in place at all crossings, including the ones that do not have the new towers. The question
now is what these new surveillance devices will be used for, and why does the government
want to keep people in the dark? Even though many Americans are not aware of the degree
to which the government is watching them and infringing on their rights, such a public
display of surveillance technology is certain to interest many locals. As these people begin
to ask questions and to realize that a system is literally being set up to watch them all
the time, and potentially identify them based on facial recognition technology, hopefully,
they will begin to realize how serious this situation has become. Unless that happens,
it appears that the government has taken another step to consolidate its power and prevent
anybody from escaping its grasp.
