Seven Southwestern states will soon be infiltrated by 1,200 military special ops personnel as part of a controversial domestic military training in which some of the elite soldiers will operate undetected among civilians.

Operation Jade Helm begins in July and will last for eight weeks. Soldiers will operate in and around towns in Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, California, Nevada, Utah and Colorado where some of them wil drop from planes while carrying weapons loaded with blanks in what military officials have dubbed Realistic Military Training.

But with residents of the entire states of Texas and Utah dubbed 'hostile' for the purposes of the exercises, Jade Helm has some concerned the drills are too realistic

http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/local/military/2015/03/27/amphibious-assault-training-at-naval-station-mayport/70564792/

NAVAL STATION MAYPORT, Fla. — It’s something beach goers don’t see every day, military vehicles coming out of the water and on to shore. That’s what happened for hours Friday at Naval Station Mayport.
Nine amphibious assault vehicles were part of the training on the beach at the base.

Operation Jade Conditioning by Matt Bracken

first comes Jade Conditioning, to condition the mind like a water softener conditions water

later comes the meat tenderizing hammer to tenderize the bodies whose minds they can't soften with conditioning...

I still have lots of faith in our troops. I realize the upper echelon has been compromised but from light birds down I have no concerns at all. These exercises have been going on a looooong time in varying parts of the country. I would much rather our guys train real here than get thrown into the mix over “there” without some good training.
They are not going to turn their rifles on us, not for the pieces of shit in DC. If anything, it is DC that would be shitting bricks had a large operation like this have been conducted in their neck of the woods..Maybe some full bird would seize the opportunity (and with the gaggle that is known as the White House Secret Service detachment, it wouldn’t take much.).
Enjoy the show folks, your tax dollars at work.
BTW, after the OP is over, if these guys get any “liberty” in their AO, pick up their check.

In the event of martial law, I would hope a sufficient percentage of Army SFers would not just refuse to follow orders, but also form (or join) a resistance movement to counter a oppressive government. After all, their motto, “de oppresso liber”, means free the oppressed.

Would be interesting to hear from any former/current Seals, Force Recon, and Air Force Pararescue regarding their sentiment on following orders to detain/move civilians during a martial law event.

Trying hard not to be paranoid here, because for over 50 years these were “my Boys.” But I don’t much like training warriors under arms among citizens of the U.S.A.

You silly civilians always freak out over these things. It’s only a “Robin Sage” type drill...conducted over 9 states, with a completely corrupt CIC, and the upper ranks of all branches of our military purged of patriots..what could possibly be wrong with this minor little drill?

This is getting scary. We should do everything lawfully and peacefully just like Dr. King said. Remember who ever fires the first shot loses the Moral high ground, and thus ultimately loses in the end. They may win battles but they will eventually lose the war.

EVERYONE needs to praying to God and thank Him for our beautiful nation, still partially Free Republic, forgive all of us for all our sins, ask God through Jesus Christ our Lord for discernment..., providence..., to bless our country once again with His Divine presence and to our world.

People need to reach out to the police, military and let them know that they, their loved ones, families, friends, neighbors, co-workers, etc..... could be on the other side in 20 to 25 years from now who is being targeted and getting rounded up. Just look at who is targeting the Vets, the Tea Party and the Patriots. Think Miac report. Google it if you do not know what we are talking about.

We live in a country of over 300 million and that is not even disputed.

If the government started rounding up gun owners, Veterans, anti-abortion, Patriots, etc.... and if 1% of the over 300 Million people resisted..... That's an Army over 3 million people. That is a bigger Army than any other country's in the entire world.

How big was the resistance, in Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq that gave our heavily armed troops so much trouble. My bet is far less than 3 million. Many being Vet with military training. In other words they know what they are doing.

Who would these troops be fighting for? The certified on the record corrupt lying politicians who want to bring in a Global Government ran by the U.N.

Who would they be fighting against? Their families, neighbors, friends, their co-workers, their homes, cities, counties, States, the founding fathers, the Bill of Rights, the Declaration of Independence and ultimately the U.S. Constitution.

It would be a gross miscalculation on the Globalist part if they are stupid enough to push it. Watch out for false flags to blame the patriot movement?

Doubt it? How about Fast and Furious where the DOJ shipped arms to Mexico in order to blame the second Amendments. Don't be gullible enough to believe “it can't happen here”.

Again lets all pray it never comes to our great and still some what Free Republic.

Training is supposed to simulate fighting conditions. I realize that there are many physical locations in the US that can be used as realistic training for overseas locations. But, training to “blend in” with the US population has no value for overseas operations. “Blending in” means understanding and adopting cultural norms, language & local accents, regional dress, and interests and infiltrating the population.

What good is it to go into a Texas town and blend in when you need to train for operations in Afghanistan? Is speaking with a Texas twang, knowing all the HS football teams in the region, and where to buy the best cowboy boots important? Or perhaps who are the local tea party leaders, what sort of people are at the gun range, and the gun shows, how aggressive are the local police at civil forfeiture, and what kind of sermons do the local pastors give?

I don’t know what happened in MS in 1984, I just hope we won’t see the military operating in MS as it did in 1867.

It might be a better idea to yell...”UN FORCES, UN FORCES, UN FORCES”

You’d probably get yelled back at in ten different languages.
