‘Operation Jade Helm 15’ involves special operations units of the U.S. military working in conjunction with government and law enforcement agencies in several southwestern states.
The operation has raised eyebrows across the country. Is it a test run for implementing ‘martial law’ in selected cities identified as “hostile” by the government?
Conspiracy theorists think so.
Or is it simply a run-of-the-mill training mission?
Nobody seems to have access to enough detailed knowledge about the exercise one way or the other. Therefore, speculation has run wild.
Many claim the exercise will be a trial rollout of martial law; others believe it will be a training mission for snatch-and-grab operations to round up and “disappear” dissidents.
Few claim or demonstrate trust, faith or confidence that the government-directed exercise is intended to expand individual liberties. Rather, they perceive another flexing of government’s iron fist squeezing liberty out of the individual’s life.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott has directed the Texas State Guard to monitor operations as they unfold.
Abbott wrote a letter to Maj. Gen. Gerald ‘Jake’ Betty, Commander of the Texas State Guard, “During the training operation, it is important that Texans know their safety, constitutional rights, private property rights and civil liberties will not be infringed.”
“By monitoring the operation on a continual basis, the state guard will facilitate communications between my office and the commanders of the operation to ensure adequate measures are in place to protect Texans.”
In typical fashion, the White House has tried to assure the White House Press Corps there is nothing to worry about. Press Secretary Josh Earnest smoothed concerns over with, “The thing that I can say without having a lot of detailed knowledge about the particular exercise is that in no way will the constitutional rights or civil liberties of any American citizen by infringed upon while this exercise is being conducted.”
Without being in control of ‘a lot of detailed knowledge,’ it would seem a stretch for anyone to offer much in the way of assurances.
What can be expected when trust is virtually non-existent?
I certainly hope that he meant "continuous" basis.
A training run for the ACTUAL thing which will occur at a later date (prior to 2016 election) whereby troops isolate dissenters and confiscate their firearms during a time of Martial Law and suspension of the election?
“Many claim the exercise will be a trial rollout of martial law; others believe it will be a training mission for snatch-and-grab operations to round up and “disappear” dissidents.”
This puke writer can go to hell.
It’s more garbage that equates our American soldiers and Marines to the second coming of the Fourth Reich Gestapo.
Kis my Marine Corps butt, a$$hole.
Either that or simply act to INTIMIDATE them !
When dollars are tight, as they really are in the Army today, the military only spend above the line on what is considered to be absolutely of the highest priority. This exercise is going to be expensive in dollars, troop hours, flying hours and wear and tear on already taxed systems. So what does that tell you about how those at the very top in the Pentagon and White House read the tea leaves. And what does it say about those with many star on their shoulders who are tamely signing off on this massive ‘training exercise’ which IMHO appears to be a real operational dry run exercise?
BKMK
These people are motivated most by love of country and IMO, least likely to buy into anything that diametrically opposes American values.
Congress will roll over, ask Obama to pat its belly, and will give him all the power he wants.
I would also think (that their actions indicate they believe) there is something coming. Call it ISIS, or economic collapse, or who-knows-what.
HELM = Homeland Eradication of Local Militants
And YES, many Wal-Mart closings were in JADE HELM States!
VERY interesting blog here: Proof of What JADE HELM 15 really is and why they are doing it. This is VERY important you read. Your life may depend on it.
They don't waste time or money on training for something they don't think will happen.
Among other things, it says we need to be vigilant as a people. Since the greater part of this effort is at the border (southwest) it stands to reason that we would allocate forces in a manner to defend that border. Not that Zero has that intention, but it his intentions are not what matter. Results matter.
Santa loans him the sleigh.
He's off that day you know.

I suspect the USMC would be kept pretty much out of any real national ‘anti-terrorism’ operation. However, while it has been a few years since I retired, I don't think the Army has changed much and there are many individuals there who would either allow themselves to be co-opted due to threats of what will befall any who disobey. Beyond that blacks with some conspicuous exceptions in the Army are truly devoted to BHO and will do whatever ‘their’ president (and that is how I have heard this man described by more than one black in the Army) tells them to do. On top of this there is the generally abysmally low level of knowledge of what the US Constitution says and means among not just lower rank EM’s but junior officers as well. In any such operation the optics will be well developed and there will be a lot of propaganda about ‘helping Americans’ and those who oppose such actions will be stigmatized by a very willing media as ‘haters’ ‘racists’ ‘Pedophiles’ or you name it. The amount of muscle the Army can employ is so great that all is needed is for a portion of the fighters to go along and a lot of the support types top just
obey orders’ and this thing will go down far faster than you can imagine.
I would agree with everything you say but i would substitute one word you used “Communism” with “Muslims - because he is a Muslim!”

The post suggests :
Jade = “Joint assistance for Development and Eradication” *
Helm = “Homeland Eradication of Local Militants” (7)
People who call themselves “Patriots”
Private Militia’s
People who resist the New World Order
Gun Owners that refuse to turn them in
People who believe in the “Constitution”
Evangelical Christians
People that won’t accept “Open Border’s”
Got a friend who believes there are underground tunnels running back and forth between 6 empty WalMart stores.
Nomally i would call that crazy insane tin foil hat bs except for two things.
1. The US does have tunnels interconnecting at secret bases I know that because I did interview for one of these facilities in the Nevada desert and that was hinted at I talked about overtime pay.
(The question was, are we being paid while being transported to the work site. They discussed flying to work site, being taken by bus to the work site and a “third method of transportation” that they could not discuss... and we’re talking a site in the middle of the desert)
2.One of the Walmarts closed, in Pico Rivera is on the side of the old Northrop Grumman B2 plant if anywhere in that area would have had a secret interconnect tunnel to the US military underground system that would have . Also that Northrop Grumman site used to be Ford Motor Company factory...so is been a strategic defense plant area for a long time..
again it sounds like crazy BS...but it’s odd that the guy would mention this and I would happen to know just one Walmart that is closed happens to be on /near that particularly ex top security military site
I would be curious of any of the six other Walmarts just happen to be on sites that previously had some kind of military plant or facility around or near it
Don’t know about tunnels between WalMarts, but I know guys who used to work for the military at Los Alamos and Sandia Labs who have flat out told me that the Southwest is honeycombed with tunnels connecting all of the bases and labs and that they recently connected Washington DC, and specifically the White House, to the network. Supposedly they can now go from coast to coast without ever coming above ground.
Sorry, I’m a suspicious type.
Phil is not Rocky Squirrel, he is more of an underground kind of guy... I’m checking to see if there are scheduled visits at each of the “plumbing-repair” walmarts. With linking underground tunnels, that should be proof enough!
