Mysterious Metal Towers Pop Up Overnight in New York



What ARE the mysterious $100M metal towers popping up at tunnels and bridges all over New York and why won’t the MTA say?

Everyone knows New Yorkers are tough to rattle, but even the most machismo Manhattanites are mumbling nervously about some mysterious metal towers that seemingly appeared overnight at the openings of tunnels around the city. The Metropolitan Transportation Authority has an answer, but no one who’s used the New York subway system trusts what they say. To make things more sinister, the towers are rumored to be connected to Homeland Security and the MTA chairman was very evasive when questioned. Conspiracy theory, here we come!


The story was broken by CBS2 in New York City. According to the report, little is known about the mysterious towers project except the price — $100 million. That alone is enough to cause concern because government officials looking to get re-elected are normally cutting costs, not spending on secret projects. It apparently has been known for some time that New York’s antiquated toll booths at tunnel and bridge entrances would be replaced by something more technologically up-to-date, but no one expected them to be metal monstrosities that defy the imagination of those who see them.

“It’s a bit mind-boggling that the MTA is approving $100 million for what appears to us to be big, decorative pylons.”

That’s the description given by John Kaehny of the watchdog group Reinvent Albany. However, he knows the metal bases and towers of what appear to be lights are much more because MTA Chairman Joe Lhota said so.


“The base of these new pieces that are going up include whatever fiber optics are necessary for those Homeland Security items.”


 Homeland Security? New Yorkers rate them only slightly higher than the bottom of the barrel where MTA resides, and for good reason. When asked for details about these huge devices that will be pointed at New Yorkers 24/7, like whether they will be capable of facial recognition, Lhota said:


“I’m not at liberty to discuss that.”

Well, that’s slightly better than “No comment” … which was the response of Cedrick Fulton, MTA’s bridges and tunnels manager.


 Even some MTA board members are concerned about how little information is available. “A lot of the board members felt they didn’t have all the details they would have wanted, myself included,” said New York City Transportation Manager Polly Trottenberg.

But an organization called Reinvent Albany has been working hard to shed some light on the details surrounding the structures. “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, Executive Director and founding board member of the watchdog organization. “What we’re asking for is transparency from the MTA.”

Kaehny told Anti-Media that they discovered plans for Governor Cuomo’s “Gateway Towers” while researching budget documents for another one of Cuomo’s pet projects, Harbor Lights, a $200 million plan to “transform New York’s magnificent structures into world-renowned tourist attractions.”

According to a press release from Governor Cuomo’s office, these “art deco” towers will “bring back public art aboveground.” Each structure will be covered in decorative artwork constructed with chainmail fabric, displaying a “wave effect.” All MTA bridges and tunnels will be equipped with LED lights that change color according to a “dawn to dusk” schedule, with “spectacular, multi-color light shows that will be visible for miles.”


With that kind of evasive action, the purpose of the towers is wide open for conspiracy speculation and comments, which included but were not limited to:

Bomb sniffers
Radiation detectors
Cell phone data readers
Directional sound weapons
Non-lethal radio wave emitters
Access denial devices
Gunshot detectors
Surveillance towers
Mind control systems

No one seemed to have any suggestions indicating they believed the towers were put up for anything good. Most seem to agree with one of the people interviewed:


“I’m going to guess that it’s not just a decoration.”

What do YOU think these mysterious metal towers are? Would let them be installed in YOUR city? Do you think you’d be given a choice?

TOP SECRET DUMBS (Deep Underground Military Bases)

Unknown to most Americans is a dark secret, and it's right under our noses. It's the reality of the existence of DEEP UNDERGROUND MILITARY BASES. These Underground bases get prominent play in dark rumors circulating about captured extraterrestrials and alien technology. The fringe culture rumors of underground alien-human shenanigans are in reality fed by leaks from questionable individuals, usually with intelligence connections. They are simply a ploy utility for the status quo. The whole captured-alien-hardware story is just a highly elaborate hoax to discredit those exposing the reality of these bases. They are also a cover for the wholesale looting of the federal treasury by the corrupt and cynical secret government.

Highway of death

What happened prior to nineteen years in Iraq and why is it just remember today? We all know the "Desert Storm", but most of our media have not led the way "highway of death". In it are thousands of other corpses of Iraqi soldiers, who deserve it this year at the end, nineteen years later, their story finally finds its place. It is time for the trip what you never dreamed of, a journey of death and nightmares after the war winding country roads.                  Photo (karachifriends.com): Consequences of the Gulf War are still awaiting compensation  19 years ago in Iraq took place on one of the worst massacres in the history of wars. Despite assurances from the Bush regime to Iraqi soldiers who retreat will not be attacked, it happened just the opposite.

Imperialism and its agents

It seems these days the water is so pro-imperialist campaigns at the same time that it is almost impossible to set aside adequate time for each. In the midst of economic disaster, there is hyper-militarism, which is literally "out of control." In America the unemployed pile, half of the nation now officially living in poverty, many of them survive only with the help of "food stamp" - but at the same time, American militarism is so aggressive that I literally no longer knows where it first "intervened. " The focus now shifted and Uganda, called for a new intervention against the "bogeymen" named Joseph Kony, leader of an obscure paramilitary group LRA, kind in Africa - the effects of neo-colonialism - there are hundreds. First of all, it is important to note that the U.S. military is already entered in Uganda, Obama has sent several hundred troops already this winter, but - as he then said - he wants more troops in the country, thousands of...
