Texans organize 'Operation Counter Jade Helm' to keep an eye on the federal troops
Houston Chronicle ^ | 07/10/15 | Dylan Baddour

Posted on 07/11/2015 7:29:55 AM PDT by Enlightened1

The U.S. Military will bring over a thousand troops as well as aircraft and heavy vehicles to Texas and six other southwestern states for Operation Jade Helm--an unprecedented special operations training exercise. A civilian group has organized to monitor the training, including companies in Texas that plan to post up at each drill site in the Lone Star State.

The Texas Governor has ordered the Texas State Guard
( ot the National Guard) to monitor this military “exercise.”

Somehow that “Master the Human Domain” logo rubs me completely the wrong way. Looking at how they’ve set up this multistate training exercise, in their words “how to train to protect citizens from foreign invaders” they’ve organized Red, Blue, Brown and Grey states in the American SW pretty much along the lines of what one would think for a political map - WITH REDS and LEANING REDS being HOSTILE.

What kind of ‘human domain’ are they seeking to master here? Foreigners? What foreigners? They certainly can’t be the kind of illegal foreigners their Blue states reflect (CA and CO, for instance).

It seems to me they’ve divorced themselves from anything to do with illegal alien incursions or actual foreign invaders and gone straight for political attitudes - maybe conservatives, the kind of ‘foreigners’ they’re afraid of.

It stinks, their logo stinks. All they’ve convinced me is they’re training how to be jack boots and possibly identifying local LEs and government who are of the Vichy ilk.

How much do Texas legislators (at the state and national levels) really know about this “exercise”? What are they being told by authorities? And what are they not being told? This thing has a sinister aura about it. If its not, then there is nothing to hide.

Texas doesn’t have very much federal land, are they planning on exercising on private property?

All I know is what I’ve seen about how they’ve laid it out across multiple SW states and what level of Hostility vs. Permissive they’ve assigned to them. I then took what they said as the goal of their exercise pertaining to ‘foreigners’ and juxtaposed that with their exercise logo against how those states are viewed politically here.

To me it does not add up. Not in the least.

Seems like it. To me, the only business any Federal entity has within a state is where it has jurisdiction. Absent property owners’ or local governments’ permissions I don’t see where they can arbitrarily train wherever the hell they feel like, especially with US Military. To do so to me would arrogant and possibly illegal given the PC act and other restrictions. Personally I just think the whole thing stinks.

Nobody is being told jack shit except that we should just trust them.
The fact that they are so callous towards the concerns of Texans about it makes many of us that much more suspicious.
If I had to guess I would say this is just a conditioning exercise along with the added benefit of causing a large number of people to be intimidated by the government.
It is completely unjustifiable IMO.
They probably aren’t coming for us this time, but this is all heading that direction.
This country is pretty much unrecognizable from what it was only 10 years ago.

Now, if they start rounding up all the illegal wetbacks, I might help the Feds out.

“How much do Texas legislators (at the state and national levels) really know about this “exercise”? What are they being told by authorities? And what are they not being told? This thing has a sinister aura about it. If its not, then there is nothing to hide.”

Texas Gov. Abbott was on top of this from the beginning and I would bet he talked to Cruz (one of our US senators) about it as Cruz was his right hand man when Cruz was his Solicitor General.

Abbott put out messages to all of Texas about this “invasion” of Texas and assured the public the training would be monitored.

Ditter, the training is on public land AND private land. We have a Texas Freeper who gave permission for them to train on his private land.

There was to be one of the “trainings” around Bastrop (I think it was), and they, through their city counsel, voted to NOT let them train in their area and that one was canceled by the military.

“Master the Human Domain” sounds like a title straight from Obama - “master” means you have quailed any resistance, you own it. “Human domain” means anything connected to humans. So, he wants to own every person and anything connected to that person. He wants total control over all of us and every thing we have.

“Master the Human Domain” - not in Texas he won't. I believe most Texans would fight him to their death or his death, meaning any militant he sent here to take control of us.

And, I think Gov. Abbott in his wheelchair would be at the front of the line in this battle. For damn sure, he would be a better commander in chief than cursed Obama is.

...Not smart. This is how things like Waco start...

The Texas State Guard is one of three branches of the Official Texas military. Just as the Texas National Guard is a co-equal.Apparently you may think it is a private militia. It is not. If any shooting breaks out, you will be witnessing the
beginning of an actual Civil War involving Federal soldiers versus State of Texas military.

Google Texas State Guard for more.
