Over the past year, almost daily there are a fleet of Army helicopters that fly over our house in the same direction, usually just after lunch, but it seems they are clearly American military helicopters. However, two new videos that were posted last week indicate that there are a formation of helicopters operation over Washington State that could be other than military.
The following videos are provided by two eyewitnesses to these helicopters. First there is this account that was uploaded by MyKidsFuture on June 10, 2015. You can hear a man and woman both talking and they are clearly describing the helicopters as "Apache like" and "white," assuming they are United Nations helicopters.
(Watch videos at link.)
The second video was uploaded by Liberty's Champion on June 11, 2015 showing what appears to be the same formation of helicopters from a different angle.
"I have never seen so many attack helicopters at once in the skies around here before," wrote Liberty's Champion. "Special training or some unique circumstance perhaps?"
Both videos included Jade Helm in the titles, but only the first video indicates that the helicopters are white and possibly United Nations helicopter. Frankly, when viewing the video, it's hard to tell what color the helicopters are due to where the sun is in the video.
However, according to All News Pipeline, "…the word we have gotten from a retired US Navy SEAL source, they ARE likely United Nations choppers. With both China and Russia high ranking UN Security Council members, we echo the words of Libertys Champion in the 2nd video: This 'is not normal and seems very out of place to me.'"
There is a Seattle, Washington chapter of the United Nations Association of the United States of America. On June 10th, the same day these videos were taken, the chapter was holding a board meeting, according to its website.
Calls to the Seattle, Washington United Nations Association went unreturned as we sought clarification of whether these were indeed UN helicopters and what their purpose was.
The closer we are to the Jade Helm exercises being conducted the more likely things like this are going to be seen. While many claim that this is just "normal," I can't remember anything of the magnitude of Jade Helm in my lifetime. I realize there are people who want to point out the need for military training. However, doing so in cities, among the population, is a really bad idea. It not only conditions citizens to accept such things on their streets, but it also conditions the soldiers to do the same thing. In fact, it is questionable as to whether military should be training at all on American streets.
One commenter wrote something that I think is poignant when it comes to the ramping up of our military training like this. Curt Cope wrote:
Look, let me tell you younger folks something here. All these military drills going on in our cities, counties, and states are NOT normal. For you younger folks, you ONLY KNOW what YOU KNOW in the environment that YOU GROW UP IN. During my time in the military many moons ago, we WERE NOT doing these drills in the cities, counties, and states. This is completely out of the ordinary in these united States of America.
Now, you may turn on the booboisie tube and they may tell you that this is all normal. Well, it IS NOT. They are LYING to you. They know, that you only know, the environment you are growing up in.
Hitler said it best: "When an opponent declares, 'I will not come over to your side.' I calmly say, 'Your child belongs to us already… What are you? You will pass on. Your descendants, however, now stand in the new camp. In a short time they will know nothing else but this new community.'" - Adolf Hitler
You are being acclimatized. You know... Nothing to see here folks!
And you better get this through your heads. WE TRAIN LIKE WE FIGHT... WE FIGHT LIKE WE TRAIN. Let-that-sink-in. They are training in the environment that they will be fighting in. Let me put it this way, if you are going to fight in the jungle, you don't train in the desert.
I don't know if this is a part of Jade Helm in a similar manner that explosions rocked the Midwest two weeks ago or similar training exercises will continue to be conducted, but answers do need to be provided.
Feh...The choppers we had were only for medivaccing one or two people at a time. Being shot down, with no parts to fix them. tells me YOU never saw a chopper in the sky with a Chinese pilot, a Nork Pilot or even an Americam pilot. You need to get with Rachel Dolezar(?). Stolen Pallor.
As opposed to what? Training in Canada?
Like I said, was most of the fighting done on urban terrain in that war?
That you can cite one or two battles isn’t an answer to that question.
I’m curious as to the privately owned, public use airport. How’s that work? I’ve been involved with several airport design projects on big airports and small municipals. The private strips were built and maintained by the live-in, fly-in folks that had direct access to the runway. I’ve been approached to allow a similar development to build homes with a taxiway to connect to connect “through the fence” to a public airport but this is not allowed on fed/state money supported airports.
I would take pictures and ask the those agencies whose pilots and aircraft are accessing this facility to stop this practice or send them a bill for services and potential repairs.
But on the flip side watching military grade aircraft is pretty cool.
Hue City was a hell of a battle. Many fights in VN happened in small villages. Guess you have to draw a line between “city” and “urban”.
As far as your question, IMO the next “war” the US military fights will start in the urban area and devolve into open terrain where they have the advantage in direct contact but will not have enough resources to control vast space. The other side will be foolish to take it to open country but they most likely will.
Well if they are preparing for a war in Canada they’d be training in canada.
So, in your mind, countries that you are planning to invade will allow you to train there prior to the conflict? You think that is a reasonable expectation?
So your explanation for this exercise is we’re going to invade a country similar to Kansas and Washington state?
“So your explanation for this exercise is we’re going to invade a country similar to Kansas and Washington state?”
No, you’re the one who is arguing that there is some great significance to where the military chooses to hold exercises.
Canada’s not an option, too polite of a populace.
Now that’s funny.
It just hasn’t been the same around here since you left ;’)
The airpark we live on is larger and busier than most residential airparks with an average of over 100,000 general aviation operations per year. This is almost as busy as the nearest municipal airport which is a larger facility.
There are 116 homes with hangars built around the airport and there is a full service FBO (Fixed Base Operator) with hangars, tie downs, rental planes, fuel, a flight school, and a full time mechanic.
The airport is currently owned by Norm who is in his 90s and owns the FBO. Arrangements have been negotiated for the homeowners association to purchase the airport at a future date. Currently the homeowners association pays for half the maintenance and taxes. If for some reason the FBO facilities are not leased to another business when ownership is transferred I would guess that there is a fairly good chance that the airport could revert to private use.
Currently the only operators who cause problems are the helicopter schools. They not only are disturbing to homeowners... they also tend to disrupt other flight operations because they often hover over the runway and taxiways when other aircraft are trying to use the facilities. This has been an ongoing issue but unfortunately it is not something the 90 year old airport owner seems to get too excited about.
