WASHINGTON U.S. Army Special Operations Command is pushing back against alarmist claims that an upcoming U.S. military exercise is a preparation for imposing martial law or subduing right-leaning groups and individuals.
Conspiracy theories about the exercise, known as JADE HELM 15, appeared online this week. Some commentators railing against the event referred to an online slide show allegedly created by USASOC, which outlined a special operations exercise slated to take place across multiple states, outside the confines of U.S. military bases. In the slide show, a map of the southwest region of the United States labels Texas and other territory as hostile or insurgent pocket. The document also refers to coordination with law enforcement agencies.
Army Lt. Col. Mark Lastoria, a USASOC spokesman, confirmed that there is an upcoming exercise called Jade Helm 15 which is scheduled to take place this summer at locations in Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, Colorado, California and Nevada. But he denied the event is preparation for some sort of military takeover.

I suppose it’s hard to confront the reality that your honorable service in the SF is now being perverted by our traitor-mole POTUS.
It’s hard for me to post much during the day.
These FEMA camp guards keep us hopping ever since we were interned here 5 years ago.
” The dead giveaway is the eyes”
Part of a good covert operators trailing is not to scan but to observe without scanning. It is not easy to look disinterested or even distracted.
“Yeah, thought so.”
You only think so. Arrogance is your game.
“Wrap that tin foil a little tighter.”
Won’t be any tighter than your skirt.
“Martial law in a country this size, and this well armed is impossible.”
If you think in terms of ratios, maybe not. Germany, the Soviet Union, and every fascist State added means as needed to have dominate government control. The US is starting with more government enforcement agents than they did; a much denser ratio of agent to citizen. They added Block Captains and other position so authority and quickly stomped any individual resistance.
It is amazing the authority a disgruntled liberal would wield if given a radio and permission to call in a heavy force on any individual so much as speaking out. Heavy force comes in and either kills or takes away said individual. Worked in those other nasty places.
Hell, as it is most people don’t speak their minds at work or in public.
Their martial law would be systematic, not erratic. Their liberal efforts already show their game plan.
“Sometimes an Exercise is just an Exercise.”
An exercise to learn to do what, exactly?
Well I have no doubt they think they can institute martial law. But they also thought they could run the healthcare system.
Trying to institute martial law and subjugate the American public is going to be like herding cats. Well armed and pizzed off cats. It will kick off CWII and will quickly morph from the public vs the govt to states vs the Feds. It will be an epic fail.
You see that as the result, but as you also pointed out, they also think they can control healthcare. I agree with you. Chaos would ensue, however, they also know that half this country would be for them and that is plenty to try to control the other half. Of course, they see the rest of us as old and incapable and just mouthy. They think they have the younger among us on their side and they are counting on that.
In GA they would be wrong. Lots of young patriots. Plus the 41% on the progrs side don’t have any weapons except their big mouths.
” Plus the 41% on the progrs side dont have any weapons except their big mouths.”
I thought that a few yeas ago too. However, one of the largest gun shops in the country is in Colorado Springs. I asked the owner if liberals didn’t buy guns. His claim was that his customer base was truly 50/50. At that very moment a man mentioned to the owner that he was buying a gun because Obama had just been elected and would ban guns...and that he had voted for him. Go figure.
Also, anecdotally, I know a bunch of computer programmers and they are notoriously liberal...they also notoriously own guns. Just m personal observation, but many liberals do own guns.
As far as Georgia being conservative, well, half my family lives in Glennville, GA. Half of those are liberal squeamish types. They will vote Democrat no matter what.
“Also, anecdotally, I know a bunch of computer programmers and they are notoriously liberal...they also notoriously own guns. Just m personal observation, but many liberals do own guns.”
There’s owning and then there’s the mindset of shooting. If you know what I mean. They also so outnumbered as to be insignificant.
“Theres owning and then theres the mindset of shooting.”
Good point!
I don’t trust the CIC.
“An exercise to learn to do what, exactly?”
Learn to operate in a realistic environment. Train like you fight.
Anything else that might happen would happen anyway. Prepare accordingly.
Depends on how many government-schooled sellouts, traitors and Quislings they can buy.
And every few days, more veterans die, and more schools graduate their obedient output.
Hey look! The Reichstag is on fire!
Damn communists Republicans! Guess we'd better renew The Patriot Act. [Verordnung des Reichspräsidenten zum Schutz von Volk und Staat<
Just an observation of my own: merely owning a guitar does not make one a musician.
