Over the last two months, dozens of videos and articles throughout the alternative media have detailed a widespread military buildup throughout the country coupled with an increasing amount of urban military training drills that have a strong domestic hint.
Now, this never-ending saga of new evidence continues with professional video footage taken in Arizona that highlights a U.S. Marines training drill that included armed troops chasing angry citizens who attempted to escape a mock internment camp.
Role players playing the part of citizens (American?!) angrily shouted for food and water throughout the video. Multiple role players also simulated an attempted escape from confinement only to be chased down and arrested by armed troops.
Military training and planning for some sort of internment of American citizens during civil unrest is hardly new. Multiple military documents and leaks have long exposed this startling truth.
In 2012, Infowars reported on a leaked U.S. Army document that outlined plans for re-education camps on both foreign and domestic soil. The report went so viral that a large-scale disinformation campaign was launched to convince the public that the document was only for use outside the country.
A shocking U.S. Army manual that describes how political activists in prison camps will be indoctrinated by specially assigned psychological operations officers contains numerous clear references to the fact that the policies do apply domestically to U.S. citizens.
Despite the fact that the manual is well over 300 pages long and would take hours to read properly, within minutes of posting our story yesterday a minority of commenters were claiming that the policies outlined in the document only pertained to foreign combat operations and did not apply domestically to U.S. citizens.
The most alarming portion of the document appears on page 56 and makes it clear that detention camps will have PSYOP teams whose responsibility will be to use “indoctrination programs to reduce or remove antagonistic attitudes,” as well as targeting “political activists” with such indoctrination programs to provide “understanding and appreciation of U.S. policies and actions.”
Let’s make one thing clear – the manual primarily deals with enemy combatants captured and detained in foreign prison camps run by the U.S. Military. However, another thing that is just as clear from reading the manual in full is the fact that it also applies to citizens detained within the United States, whether they be DCs (displaced citizens) or “civilian internees,” in other words citizens who are detained for, “security reasons, for protection, or because he or she committed an offense against the detaining power.”
Firstly, throughout the manual there are scores of references to how the U.S. Army would work together with the DHS, ICE and FEMA (page 24) to implement the policies “within U.S. territory” as part of “civil support operations” in the aftermath of “man-made disasters, accidents, terrorist attacks and incidents in the U.S. and its territories.” (page 38).
“The handling of DCs (displaced citizens) is also a mission that may be performed in support of disaster relief or other emergencies within the United States or U.S. territories during civil support operations,” states page 33. Page 56 also states that it is the responsibility of the PSYOP officer to “control detainee and DC populations during emergencies.”
“Resettlement conducted as a part of civil support operations will always be conducted in support of another lead agency (Federal Emergency Management Agency, Department of Homeland Security)” states page 37.
The document also contains numerous references to U.S. citizens (notably pages 13, 41). Page 13 notes how “U.S. citizens will be confined separately from detainees,” meaning they will be separated from foreign prisoners in the camps
On page 146 of the manual, we learn how prisoners in the camps are to be identified.
“The prisoner’s last name, first name, and middle initial are placed on the first line of a name board, and the prisoner’s social security number is placed on the second line.”
Last time I checked, the United States Social Security Administration was not responsible for handing out social security numbers to people in Afghanistan or Iraq.
On page 193 of the document, we learn that the policies outlined in the manual can be applied domestically. The language makes it clear that so long as the President passes an executive order to nullify Posse Comitatus, the law that forbids the military from engaging in domestic law enforcement, the policies “may be performed as domestic civil support operations.”
As always the military PR machine and the corporate media are sure to claim that the training was to prepare soldiers for overseas action. Now that the military is brazenly releasing footage, when in the past they would deny this type of training even exists, it allows them to use Orwellian doublespeak to confuse and placate the American people with claims that if the training were for them then they wouldn’t publicly release the footage.
Intellihub News and many other alternative news outlets have painstakingly detailed dozens of military training exercises that include role players openly playing the part of American citizens.
In early April, National Guard troops conducted a dirty bomb drill in California with role players playing the part of “sovereign citizens.”
“I’m a sovereign citizen, I refuse to recognize you guys, I refuse to recognize you.”
Just yesterday I reported on Richland County, South Carolina police officers training with US Special Forces in conducting domestic house to house raids.
“In yet another startling revelation in the lead up to Jade Helm 2015, Special Forces out of Fort Bragg are currently training with Richland County, South Carolina police officers to provide realistic military scenarios.
Footage from previous training in the area included midnight house to house raids conducted by a combined military and police force.”

Not knowing that the next day would provide even more evidence, the report also detailed footage taken in Fort Lauderdale, Florida that showed troops training for what looked to be a martial law style interment of American citizens.
The clip shows armed troops arresting role players on the street before a column of prisoners are marched towards a mock internment facility. Black Hawk choppers are also seen whizzing between buildings.
The exercise was accompanied by very little media coverage. A Sun-Sentinel report said that Broward County police would be “assisting members of the U.S. Special Operations Forces who are undergoing urban warfare training.”
The drill, which was held in locations the military refused to disclose beforehand, began on March 17 and ended on Friday. 200 military personnel from all four branches, Air Force, Army, Marines and Navy, took part in the exercise.
“The goal is to prepare participants in realistic, unfamiliar training conditions before they deploy for combat overseas,” states the report. Residents were advised “not to be alarmed by the Black Hawk helicopters in the sky.”
Broward County also saw similar drills back in March 2014, when Navy SEALS practicing storming a university building from a helicopter.
“The sheer amount of documented training to take on the American people by portions of the military and local law enforcement would take multiple pages to fill. Simply put, there is so much evidence that a martial law scenario is being trained for that anyone attempting to deny it at this point either has an agenda or is extremely naive.
One can only hope that the patriots within the military feel just as much anger over the plans as many of the American people do. For it will take a concerted effort by those in power within the military and police establishment to put an end to this notion once and for all.”
“Believe what you wish. Some day you may come to regret the day you simply scoffed at this issue.”........
Odumbo told all of us up front that he intended to change this country and he is still planning to complete the task.
I wonder if the scenario will include the indigenous population being well armed and well trained in resistance, as most rural Americans are and would be.....
Training our armed forces to round up patriotic American citizens is NOT prudent.
It is deliberately designed to desensitizing the troops as well as the populace.
I worked with a young Guardsman 20 years ago who was being trained to bayonet Americans engaged in passive resistance-obviously they didn’t actually bayonet real people at that time.
But he stated he WOULD follow orders.
The schools have taught socialism and big government ,the judges have made a mockery of Constitutional guarantees.
Trusting the military and police to suddenly turn against a career of following orders is foolish.Certainly some will,but will enough? Did the German soldiers turn against their leaders in numbers sufficient to stop the horrrors? How often have the soldiers and police in any nation refused the orders of the authorities? How many police today engage in unconstitutional behavior and treat “civilians” with contempt ?How many officers routinely break many of the traffic laws and other rules they enforce against you or I? Once rule-breaking ,and looking the other way,becomes a habit then at what level of rule-breaking does it stop? When did you last hear of the outcry of the “good” officers against the abuses both physical and legal ? I have to sadly observe that the “good” officers are guilty of the same contempt and or fear of losing the paycheck and privileges so they do nothing. WHAT would it take for them to change?
The Founders rightfully feared standing armies.
Remember our military is disarmed except when on a mission. All the evil ones need do is secure the armory and what can the unarmed soldiers do when confined to barracks or base ? ONE muslim terrorist member of the Army murdered a dozen and injured more at Ft. Hood.What if he had a hundred co-conspirators?
Germany was a nation.too, fully modern with laws, churches, universities, newspapers, and radio.Not a nation of ignorant savages,but a nation conquered by its own minority of evil men.England punishes free speech and truth-telling this very day and law-abiding Englishmen had their means of resistance confiscated decades ago. Which reinforces the point that the ONLY reason for gun registration is eventual confiscation. Never think America hasn’t always had evil men desiring to lead a tyrannical government;keeping them from doing so requires more than waving a 220 year old piece of paper.It requires the will to use force to stop them.AND the MEANS of force which is most readily available in firearms. It is never truly good people who desire Americans disarmed;only the evil and the deluded.
“The once proud and bold American citizens have been conditioned to board the boxcars to Auschwitz without question or revolt just like others did in the 1930’s.”
Some, yes. For very many others a very, very loud no.
Things are “fundamentally transformimg” rapidly. I don’t think we will recognize the USA in a couple of generations.
Our citizens and military are now in the conditioning phase. We will all be ready for the next phase in tens years or less.
Fixed it:
Jade Helm: Marines train for internment of PREVIOUSLY DISARMED citizens under martial law
There will be NO “internment” of an armed citizenry.
It’s called desensitization and acceptance.
Maybe less inclined to follow (illegal) orders without question?
You forgot to mention releasing terrorists from Gitmo.
Maybe they are practicing to round up illegal aliens.
Then we'll make pronouncements about liberals being paranoid... Should be fun.
Then we'll make pronouncements about liberals being paranoid... Should be fun. Oh, and some in inner city Baltimore to freak out liberal elites.
The Marine operation was/is not part of Jade Helm,
This operation is part of the WTI course which is considered an advanced level course in the employment of Marine aviation. It’s been going on in Yuma, Arizona twice a year since 1977.
The event shown in the video are of one of about a dozen major flight evolutions planned and flown by students and have been using that location (one of the city parks)since 2005 or 2006 with the city government’s authorization. They announce this in the media beforehand and invite the public to come out and watch.
These are the same kind actions that could be required in an Embassy evacuation.
Securing a Landing Zone has been a mission and training requirement since the first use of helicopters by the military.
Search MAWTS-1 and WTI on the Marine Corps unit and the training it conducts if interested.
Sadly most Americans just ignore this stuff or don’t believe it could ever happen.
About 4-5 years ago I was on Monster.com looking for a job and I came across the military job posting for internment camp guards. I personally read the description and I was shocked. Several days later it went viral. Shortly after that the ad disappeared off Monster.com.
Ooga booga.
The US military just started training, when Obama came along?
I’m only 55 and I don’t recognize it now.
Ridicule legitimate concern and conservative values;you’re following Saul Alinsky’s training manual well.
The military has always trained for various scenarios but training to round up American citizens IS NOT ACCEPTABLE.
Conspiracy types have long worried about a Right Wing takeover but it becomes more and more evident that this could well be a Left Wing takeover with Christians, gun owners, militias and patriot groups in the cross hairs. Maybe if we kicked out the Romney banker faction from control of the GOP and started winning some freaking Presidential elections, this would all become moot. You don’t have to be a Tea Party activist, you just need to be a freaking ACTIVIST! Get off yer butts.
