Alex Jones confronts Travis County tax assessor Nelda Wells-Speers, accusing her of feudalistic terrorism and slavery via a $13 million budget overage that forces citizens to pay annual rent instead of owning homes. He highlights a Park Service officer, John Foreman, bidding on seized properties while armed, alleging total corruption involving judges and law enforcement. Despite Wells-Speers denying theft and claiming auctions target vacant lots, Jones asserts these government-sanctioned sales wreck families, framing the system as a modern European-style serfdom enforced through unjust liens starting January 1st.

You're looking at Nelda Wells-Speers, Travis County tax assessor and collector.
You will see classic examples of doublespeak, that is, lying, using semantics to shield the behavior that she is engaged in.
It is very sad that she passes the buck, number one, and number two, tries to deny the fact...
That they take property and homes and engage in feudalistic behavior.
And then she acts like she doesn't know what I'm talking about when I use many different terms.
Like feudalism.
And I'm sure she must know what feudalism means.
I'm sure she's a smart lady.
It means slavery.
It means you pay a yearly rent to the government for the right to use and live in the home that you paid for.
So remember, if you pay for your house and you own it...
Or you think you own it.
You do not truly own it because you pay a yearly rent to the feudal masters.
Then we'll get to a property auction approximately three and a half weeks after we did this interview with Neldawell Spears, where she passes the buck.
They have auctions for lots, property, businesses, homes, you name it.
On Channel 17 on Travis County Television, they show the homes that they foreclose on every year.
They're in the back of the newspaper.
Then how can she sit here and say she doesn't know what we're talking about?
The government should not be able to take your home or your automobile, the things you need to live.
This is feudalism.
This is terrorism engaged in by every city, county, and state in the United States and the world today.
How do you feel about making people support public schools where the test scores have dropped from number one 50 years ago to number 49th now with their property taxes?
Isn't that a form of feudalism?

I haven't the foggiest notion of what you're talking about.
Was Martin Luther King bad whenever he went and sat in at the lunch counters and was taken to jail and beaten because it was the law that black people couldn't use water fountains or go in and sit at lunch counters?
Or what about when that one lady refused the law because she thought it was wrong and sat at the front of the bus?
Stealing homes, but we do put a lien on everyone's house at the start of each year.
Even before it's time to pay, they just have that threat there.
They have that sheriff, that constable standing there at the ready, just like of old, just like in feudal Europe or feudal Japan or feudal China, feudal Russia.
Pay close attention to this fellow from Parks and Recreation.
We'll get to this just a little bit later.

By virtue of a certain order of sale issued pursuant to a judgment by the District Court in Travis County, Texas and cause number 9208940 titled Travis County et al.
vs.
Dena Sue Nelson Brewster et al.
and under the authority of Bruce Elfant Constable in Travis County Precinct 5 that did on June 28, 1998 at 10 a.m.
levy upon the fine described property located in Travis County as the property of the judgment debtor Dena Sue Nelson Brewster et al.
On said property is no no warranties expressed or implied.
You buy a debtor's interest in the property as is.
Bidders are further advised that the purchase of the debtor's interest in such property at this sale may not extinguish any liens or security interest on the property.
You're only buying whatever interest, if any, the debtor has in the property.
Our cameraman, Mike, was busy getting interviews and talking to people during the bidding and filming the main person that was giving the bids from the Sheriff's Department.
But that fellow right there from the Park Service, John Foreman, an eyewitness and one of our associates, saw him getting the bids up from the back of the crowd.
A lot of interesting behavior.

Also bidding here against the property and he was armed and I don't know if that's permissible here in Travis County.
I thought if you're on duty and you have a firearm, what are you doing down here bidding against citizens for the theft of these properties?
You know, it just doesn't make any sense to me if a citizen is going to come down here and bid and try to get the lowest bid possible.
They shouldn't have an officer of the county Bidding against him, especially if he's on duty.
And we need to check into that and probably check over with the county commissioners to find out who's in charge of this and try to figure out whether or not that gentleman had any authority to bid up these properties.
Like I said, maybe he was doing it as a private citizen.
But if you're carrying a gun, to me, you're on duty.
