Footage out of Fort Lauderdale, Florida shot earlier this week shows military and law enforcement practicing the internment of citizens during martial-law style training.

On the south side of Ft. Worth to the east of Hemphill st. and the south of Felix st. The goverment is completing a large compound that everyone says looks like a prison. Across Hemphill is a FEMA compound and storage area.

If I knew how I’d link a satellite picture of it, exercise yard and all.

[cripplecreek]

Just imagine if these domestic ‘exercises’ were being done under a Republican president? The Left would be going absolutely crazy. And rightfully so.

They are done under republican presidents. They've been doing this stuff for at least 20 years.

real is busting my door down for a “training” exercise.

real is my response

[DPMD]

One great fear: The fall of Hillary will place the dem party in the position of not having a “viable” presidential candidate, and obama will have to suspend the election in the interest of “fairness.” Of course, in this scenario, O’Malley is the turd in the punchbowl, as he seems to be gaining some popularity.

Knowing how the clintons and obamas work, O’Malley would be well-advised to grow eyes in the back of his head.

The military trains in environments they plan to operate.

U.S. Cities in Texas are NOTHING like cities in Afghanistan or Iraq if you want to blend into the public.

If that is the case, then you should easily be able to list all the U.S. military exercises in U.S. cities over last 20 years.

Please list at least 3 of them since it’s business as usual, and nothing to be concerned about.

My understanding they are performing this in the Southwest. A Freeper posted perhaps they know something that we don’t know. I am thinking all this training could be what I suspect can come down or more like up. Last month I heard a preacher claiming that he saw a vision of an horde (army) coming up and crossing our border from the south. They will murder people as they come across. They will perform unimaginable gruesome killings against the human body that will make ISIS execution look tame. When it happens the American People will rise up with anger and will overthrow their government for allowing this.

We do know that Iran, China, Islam, Drug Cartels, Hamas, and Hezbolla are making ground in Latin America even in Mexico. God I hope I’m wrong.

So either these trainings are in preparation for either one:

1) Obama’s Martial Law
2) An Army shall come up from the South and cross our border to bring Hell onto this nation.

Just a thought =)

[Crim]

So we should send them to afghanistan to TRAIN?

[Enlightened1]

We send them to desert warfare training like 29 Palms USMC Base in California.

We can send them to Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Turkey, etc..

[bicyclerepair]

Thanks for the vid link. Not convincing though. That almost looks like SOP downtown.

Heck, recently the blacks rioted down at the beach (post ferguson) and there had to be 100 Sheriff cars, closed the bridges etc. They arrested at least 30 people.

Heck a rap convention in miami is worse than that vid.

So that vid is tame comparatively.

“U.S. Cities in Texas are NOTHING like cities in Afghanistan or Iraq if you want to blend into the public.”

That is the concern — why the exercises in U.S. cities such as Fort Lauderdale? The apparent use of infiltration tactics and the widespread nature (i.e., numerous states) of this exercise are disturbing. It can’t be to control drunken spring breakers, that’s for sure.

[Enlightened1]

SOP for what kind of training then?

[cripplecreek]

I’m not saying its nothing to be concerned about I’m just saying its been going on since at least Clinton.

Pretending its new is dishonest.

[Enlightened1]

Okay if that is the case..., then you should easily be able to list all the U.S. joint forces military exercises in U.S. cities over last 20 years.

After all you are the one saying this has been going on since Clinton. I want to see the operations you are talking about with the links to read about it.

I want to believe you, but if you have no evidence.... then I can’t believe it.

[cripplecreek]

While the frequency and intensity of such operations have been increasing in recent years, similar controversial military exercises on American soil are nothing new. In fact, as far back as the 1990s, U.S. military personnel have been training with foreign troops serving various governments inside the United States in exercises simulating citizen disarmament and other operations.

Military Drills and Black Helicopters in U.S. Cities Spark Panic

Searching really isn't all that hard.

[JRandomFreeper]

I heard the same thing when Clinton and Bush were president. Both served 2 terms. Obama will serve 2 terms. There won't be a 3rd term. Never has been an illegal term since the Amendment to limit time in the office to 8 years.

They had a drill in Southfield Michigan about a week back. It was supposed to take place entirely within the confines of the Army Reserve center but somebody went for coffee without taking the ISIS flags off the Humvee.

Operation Jade Conditioning
Matt Bracken
March, 2015

First, let’s cover what Joint Military Exercise Jade Helm 15 is not: it is not a covert plan for the military to conquer the Southwest and institute martial law. And no, the hundreds of special operations troops and thousands of other military personnel taking part in Jade Helm 15 are not bad guys who are out to establish tyranny in America. Those are straw man arguments, posited to be rejected.

But the elimination of the straw men does not mean that Jade Helm 15 is benign. Reality check, please: does anybody reading this seriously believe that President Obama is contemplating dropping thousands of American troops across an area as vast as the space covered by Syria, Iraq, Iran, Yemen and Egypt? If you believe that, then I will give you a special discount when you buy any two of the eleven New York metro area bridges and tunnels that I currently own.

Many will say, “But the Green Berets have been doing this kind of thing with exercises like Robin Sage for years and years. It’s exactly the same thing. It’s no big deal.” These people are either paid shills, or well-meaning but naïve dupes. Note the motto of Jade Helm 15: “Master the human domain.” From our military to our intelligence agencies to federal law enforcement, Social Network Analysis is a booming field, a field which is now stretched to include imposters and liars paid by the post to influence social media trends. This government-sponsored social media influencing begins in the understandable realm of legitimate foreign counter-terrorism, but today the all-seeing eye is increasingly aimed inward at perceived domestic threats.

FTX Robin Sage and similar legitimate exercises typically take place across a few counties and involve coordination at the sheriff and state police level. The volunteer role-players are often old Special Forces guys or local farmers. One of them that I know was a decorated MACV/SOG hero who for years after his retirement played a mysterious guerrilla chieftain for the newbie Q-coursers. And in a younger age, I ran with a crowd that that pretended to blow up radio towers, bridges and fuel dumps with simulated demolition charges. We also did cross-country movements and escape and evasion training exercises in and out of uniform with a variety of weapons. This was done with the knowledge of the local authorities, to avoid people getting shot due to misidentification when crossing public and private spaces.

But Robin Sage and other training exercises were never scaled up to become regional show-stopping extravaganzas spread across six large Western states, requiring real-time coordination between multiple governors, state police departments, county and city law enforcement jurisdictions, federal law enforcement agencies, and active duty military units from all branches of the service. No, Jade Helm is not Robin Sage. It’s not even Robin Sage on steroids.

Will there be Robin Sage elements to Jade Helm? Of course. Embedded reporters will no doubt be sending back live video, visually establishing the overtly benign and beneficial impact of the exercise as Green Berets and SEALs freefall and fast-rope into their insertion points. An analysis of some of the information gleaned from the Jade Helm 15 informational packet suggests that some of the spec-ops troops will participate in cross-country movements of greater than fifty miles, humping rifles and rucks from Texas into New Mexico among other land routes. But that camo-paint and boot-leather Robin Sage visual is just camouflage for the genuine objectives of Jade Helm 15, which in my opinion are twofold:

First: conditioning Americans to accept increasingly frequent and intrusive military and paramilitary police actions up close and personal. These will include low-altitude over-flights by military aircraft at all hours, plus roadblocks, checkpoints and denied out-of-bounds areas declared during so-called “realistic military training exercises” in and around Anytown, USA. Some of the military participants might be dressed as civilians, or even as enemy terrorists—foreign or domestic. That is to say, the troops will not necessarily be identifiable to John Q. Public as good old G.I. Joe. Instead, they might be dressed up like Jihad John, or even Redneck Jake. We will be told to mind our business, stay indoors, and trust those in authority who can see “the big picture.”

“Hey Martha, what’s all that noise and commotion? It sounds like World War Three is breaking out across the highway downtown!”

“Oh, don’t worry, George. The Army is just doing another urban warfare drill. I saw it on TV.”

Google keywords like “military drill training exercise urban warfare helicopters” and see how many of our cities have already been treated to simulated “Black Hawk Down” battles, complete with booming explosions, midnight helicopters swooping at rooftop level, and plenty of ratatat-tat. Step by step we are being conditioned to living in a battlefield state of mind. Full dress rehearsals for all-out urban warfare are becoming the new normal in the Land of the Free.

To what purpose? Well, to what purpose does the chef slowly turn up the heat under the frog pot? If and when the time comes that the federal government decides to eliminate some pesky nests of sedition in the name of national security, folks living just a few miles away will simply yawn and change television channels, placid as cows chewing cud. Operation Jade Conditioning: mission accomplished.

The second objective of Joint Military Exercise Jade Helm 15 is to practice simultaneously operating all of the control levers of armed federal power on American soil, from major military units and federal law enforcement agencies down to the state police and local law enforcement. (Posse Comitatus? Heavens, no. It’s just a training exercise!)

When the time comes to eliminate those pockets of bitterly-clinging dead-enders standing in the way of social progress that Team Obama seems to hate with far greater vigor than it hates the Islamic State or Al Qaeda, the federal bosses will already know which county sheriffs and chiefs of police are “reliable.” That is, reliable in the KGB or Stasi meaning of the world. Click your heels, Sheriff, and set up the roadblocks as instructed. It’s a federal order! Do it just like we did it last year.

Again, it’s Operation Jade Conditioning. Ditto for our generals being conditioned to take orders from civilian bureaucrats for military deployments directly into American cities and towns.

That’s my opinion. Or, you can choose to believe that President Obama is actually getting our military primed and ready for simultaneous spec-ops team insertions across the entire Middle East from Egypt to Iran, and Syria to Yemen, the same geographical area covered by Joint Military Exercise Jade Helm 15.

It’s your choice to believe that, if you wish.

[Travis McGee]

So, who were the guys shoving the civilian detainees into the unmarked vans? Or maybe you don’t even care.

[Enlightened1]

Thank you. It did not list them by name but gave us some instances.

Anyhow, did you read the following in your link?

“Of course, federal law prohibits the use of the U.S. armed forces for domestic law enforcement. But with Washington, D.C., becoming increasingly lawless while expanding its size and scope wildly outside constitutional limitations, citizens and analysts have become quite concerned. The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which purports to authorize the arrest and indefinite detention of Americans without charge or trial by the military, has added to the fears.

The latest controversial “urban warfare” drills come in the wake of mass ammunition purchases by the U.S. government that have analysts concerned about what the Obama administration may be preparing for. Combined, civilian federal agencies and departments ranging from “Homeland Security” to the Social Security Administration have purchased hundreds of millions of rounds of ammo in recent months — much of it hollow-point, designed to inflict maximum damage and death.

Also concerning to analysts is the increasing federalization and militarization of local law enforcement, which is supposed to be independent of federal control and accountable to local citizens. As The New American has documented extensively, Washington unconstitutionally handing out U.S. taxpayer money with “strings” attached while offering military weaponry to state and local police forces is becoming increasingly common.

Meanwhile, the federal government is also training law enforcement agencies nationwide to equate peaceful political activism,even displaying mundane and popular bumper stickers, with domestic terrorism. The Justice Department, Homeland Security,military think tanks, and so-called “fusion centers” have all been caught in recent years painting regular Americans — pro-lifers, veterans, Second Amendment supporters, opponents of world government, constitutionalists, and more — as potential terrorists.”

Hence, the para military police and concern...........

Lines of civilians are being herded at gunpoint into unmarked vans to be taken away.

Who are the soldiers/police? We don't know.
