Texas Dared to Defy Obama’s “MARTIAL LAW” Exercises… Look How the White House Responded

‘Operation Jade Helm 15’ involves special operations units of the U.S. military working in conjunction with government and law enforcement agencies in several southwestern states.

The operation has raised eyebrows across the country. Is it a test run for implementing ‘martial law’ in selected cities identified as “hostile” by the government?

Conspiracy theorists think so.

Or is it simply a run-of-the-mill training mission?

Nobody seems to have access to enough detailed knowledge about the exercise one way or the other. Therefore, speculation has run wild.

Many claim the exercise will be a trial rollout of martial law; others believe it will be a training mission for snatch-and-grab operations to round up and “disappear” dissidents.

Few claim or demonstrate trust, faith or confidence that the government-directed exercise is intended to expand individual liberties. Rather, they perceive another flexing of government’s iron fist squeezing liberty out of the individual’s life.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott has directed the Texas State Guard to monitor operations as they unfold.

Abbott wrote a letter to Maj. Gen. Gerald ‘Jake’ Betty, Commander of the Texas State Guard, “During the training operation, it is important that Texans know their safety, constitutional rights, private property rights and civil liberties will not be infringed.”

“By monitoring the operation on a continual basis, the state guard will facilitate communications between my office and the commanders of the operation to ensure adequate measures are in place to protect Texans.”

In typical fashion, the White House has tried to assure the White House Press Corps there is nothing to worry about. Press Secretary Josh Earnest smoothed concerns over with, “The thing that I can say without having a lot of detailed knowledge about the particular exercise is that in no way will the constitutional rights or civil liberties of any American citizen by infringed upon while this exercise is being conducted.”

Without being in control of ‘a lot of detailed knowledge,’ it would seem a stretch for anyone to offer much in the way of assurances.

What can be expected when trust is virtually non-existent?

batterycommander: I believe that this is an actual stealth attack in the making, a Reconquista, a plan to retake Texas and give it back to Mexico.

I thought you two would find this statement of interest; I would like to hear your thoughts on it.

To batterycommander:
Interesting, and all too plausible given the people in our government.

So where did they put the dirt ? Did they use some type of burrowing laser that vaporized the dirt ? Would be much easier to just move all the labs close together. But, we are talking the US government here.

Absolutely. The only question is whether voluntarily or by force.

My contacts in the SEAL Teams are telling me that the Navy wants nothing to do with JH. JH is an ARMY socom op NOT a JSOC op. Other than AF assets other branches involvement is suspect. Alex Jones as a source is suspect.

Jade is Chinese, and Helm means you’re driving the boat.

The tinfoil tells me China is buying America on the layaway plan, and is picking it up at Walmart.

You can find the patent applications for a nuclear powered tunneling device that were filed in the 1970’s (I think). Supposedly, the device liquefies the rock/dirt it is tunneling through and pushes it to the sides to form a smooth, glass-like tube. One geologist friend of mine says that this is impossible, another says that depending on the density of the resulting material it is totally possible. The tunneling device is rumored to be capable of tunneling 7 miles a day.

Yes.. i do realize how crazy it sounds..so break it down debunk the crazy from some elements are possibly true but may be misconstrued.

so yes or no.. is there any kind of underground military tunnel system between different facilities and bases....yes probably going back to the fifties...most agree that there is something..how extensive is it...????

One walmart that is close is on or near the site of the old B2 plant..

that its.. that the extent of knowledge everything else is running wild speculation....

in fact maybe that's where the wild rumor of the 6 closed Walmart tunnel system got started...

Because this one PR Walmart just happens to be near the old B2 site..

Because I'm sure the rumor of tunnels going to the PR B2 site were pre existing from when the plant was in production in the 90’s,00’s

so the question arises what about the other Walmart?... if not on old military sites and factories like PR site.. then nothing but hot air and a coincidence

I think some think the tinfoil hat part start with the idea of secret tunnels interconnecting bases..

Why?...

Subway systems have been around for over a hundred years in most big city.. NY, London, etc.

Subway system have nature military utility...this is at London subway system became a natural bomb shelter during the blitz...

Modern public subways run 200, 300 miles of route.. Shanghai China is list as long as with 341 miles.

So it a hard stretch to think that like maybe Washington DC sites are connect to say Mount Weather via a subway system?...if I was military planner I think it's stupid not to.

the problem is is a minute you mention military subway system it gets all screwed up in tinfoil and speculation which actually makes a great cover security by confusing the issue.

by the way I saw someone say “ well where did they take the dirt?” well then dug the tunnel under the English Channel they didn't dig a trench to do it they haul the dirt out the end of the tunnel...

it's stupid to think military subway system do not exist

how extensive is another question

but I'd hate to think our military was that stupid not to build systems like this ....they be really useful

... Now i will do some wild ass guessing speculation just for fun

I would guess and underground system foundational heavy work could of got started into the cover of Eisenhower's Interstate System in the fifties...

This is the time greatest atomic bomb fears everybody and their brother was building some kind of underground bunkers .

It would have been logical for the military to build some kind of underground system and that time and all that heavy construction under cover of the interstate highway system projects

Part of the justification of the interstate system was its military utility coming from where Eisenhower saw in Germany with the autobahn system....but also in Germany you had a heavy underground factory system built up..and I'm sure he saw that too
