Depending on whom you ask, “Jade Helm 15” is either a domestic military training exercise or a covert operation for the federal government to take over the state of Texas – and 2016 presidential candidate Ted Cruz just became the latest Republican to fan the flames of the latter theory.
Speaking at the South Carolina Republican Party’s annual convention Saturday, the Texas senator told Bloomberg’s David Weigel that his office had contacted the Pentagon about the exercise, which officially consists of a series of training drills throughout the Southwest for about 1,200 special operations personnel, including Green Berets and Navy SEALs. Conspiracy theorists operating on the fringes of the conservative blogosphere, however, have other ideas about what the exercise, known as Jade Helm 15, is intended to do – such as implement martial law, seize Americans’ guns, and imprison political dissidents.
Rather than squash those theories outright, Cruz apparently decided it was better to be safe than sorry.
“My office has reached out to the Pentagon to inquire about this exercise,” he said. “We are assured it is a military training exercise. I have no reason to doubt those assurances, but I understand the reason for concern and uncertainty, because when the federal government has not demonstrated itself to be trustworthy in this administration, the natural consequence is that many citizens don’t trust what it is saying.”(continued)

You explain all your avoidance and inconsistencies.
It is a finger in the eye gesture by brak.
One of many such gestures by our illustrious teleprompter reader.
And it won’t be the last as he flips off, smirks at, and annoys real Americans.
If there was justice, he’d gag to death on his boyfriend.
Totally faLSE ARGUMENTS. There is no need to do “training operations” within the US outside of Military Reservations. PERIOD.
I can't argue with your response. I was just trying to explain the what the leftists would do if we, both military and civilian, trust them.
I understand geography.
Afghanistan is not, nor has it ever been in the Middle East. It is Asia. More Central Asia.
Anyone who considers Korangal to be Middle East doesn’t understand how the Indian sub continent slammed into Asia. Different cultures, different races, and different environment.
If you think it’s so, go ahead and lump them altogether. I don’t care.
Watch what happens. There’s no way to stereotype Cruz as a conspiracy nut. You can’t personalize, politicize and polarize Cruz. His persona, in the way he speaks and acts, completely destroys this agenda.
Take it up with the Pentagon. I don’t care either.
See “Catch all term”. You should know that one from Psyops classes at the War College.
i’M NOT SURE WHAT YOUR MOTIVATIONS ARE, BUT THERE IS no NEED TO BE RUNNING THESE OPS. NONE. WHATSOEVER. EVER. lET THE SPECIAL OPS CONTROL THE SOUTHERN BORDER. OR GO HOME.
Says the guy following Alynski’s Rules for Radicals.
All I’ve been doing is explaining. You explain nothing. You add nothing. I am done writing to you. We agree nothing is going to happen and all of this is fear mongering design to scare low info voters.
Why are you all over me on Fort Irwin. You and I agree that would be a jolly place to do this.
I am asking what you think will happen over the next couple of weeks?
And take out the Mosque/armory/training Center/0bama lieBarry....
If you want to lump Cruz with the Alex Jones crowd you’re going to have to convince him to act like the Alex Jones crowd.
I would advise you not to attempt this only because it’s ridiculous, will waste your time and you will lose even more credibility.
Why?
Read your post 137.
And subsequent posts about how the only place to do this is Texas.
Anyone thats ever posted with him knows he doesn’t have cred to lose.
I’m just asking you to explain your position. Obviously you do not have one.
Except now you slip back into ridicule. Isn’t that Saul’s third or fourth rule? So who is the Alinsky’s disciple?
Told you you weren’t done.
