Operation Jade Helm: Are US special forces training for martial law?
http://www.sott.net/article/294506-Operation-Jade-Helm-Are-US-special-forces-training-for-martial-law

Operation Jade Helm, which is scheduled to kick off in July and run for eight weeks, will involve the participation of 1,200 troops from the US military's most elite fighting forces, including Green Berets, Navy SEALS and Special Operations from the Air Force and Marines.

The troops will be participating in what has been called Realistic Military Training in towns in Arizona, California, Colorado, New Mexico, Nevada, Texas and Utah.

***** Operation Jade Helm has been making some recent headlines and seems to be an accumulation of war games and training, in the past. Only this time, for what's being reported as covering several States, makes it more visible to the public. Last Fall, there were several reports of heavy military equipment, tanks and so forth, some on U-tube, traveling on railways and Interstates over several States (Texas, Arizona, Nevada and West Virginia). Considering the War activities over in the Middle East and other locations, many speculated that these new armor cars, trucks and tanks were being shipped overseas. Of course, opinions varied.

I came across a back dated article on an operation called Robin Sage and how deadly these "games" can be in reality. I was surprised to learn, that these exercises often involve second or third generational "Patriot's".

I wonder how - False Flags and real events intertwine with what might be a Military training Operation in disguise? The Boston Bombing as an example, with SWAT Teams invading lawful citizen's homes and ordering Shelter In Place commands. And how much does "Gun Legislation" play in these Operational War Games, while our hometown Police Forces are being militarized? So many questions and everything seems to be mirrored in a fog.


Robin Sage 2002: Army’s Reality Game Takes a Deadly Turn
Military: A soldier dies, another is wounded in misunderstanding over N.C. training exercise. February 27, 2002
http://articles.latimes.com/2002/feb/27/news/mn-30109

ROBBINS, N.C. — Saturday afternoon was chilly and windy--too cold, Deputy Randall Butler later told colleagues, for anyone to be riding around in the back of a pickup truck.

So the second time the Moore County sheriff's deputy saw the green open-bed truck just outside the limits of this tiny town, he pulled over the driver and two passengers--each unshaven and wearing blue jeans and flannel shirts.

Within minutes Butler fired, fearing for his life, after the passengers moved to attack him, one shouting to the other: "Shoot him! Get the gun! Shoot him! He's got a gun!" One man was killed and another seriously injured.

What Butler did not know--what he had little way of knowing--was that he had killed 1st Lt. Tallas Tomeny and wounded Sgt. Stephen Phelps. They thought they were playing the war game known as "Robin Sage," part of their intensive final examination to earn the coveted Green Beret of the U.S. Army's Special Forces. Their driver, Charles Leiber, a civilian volunteer who had been placed in the squad car for questioning before the shooting, was unharmed.

To a degree, the Army conceded such an incident may have been more likely in light of the high alert that police everywhere have been on since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. At the same time, the Army considers such training exercises vital preparation for conflicts such as Afghanistan.

Moore County Dist. Atty. Garland N. Yates said no charges would be brought against anyone. He noted that Butler had "absolutely no knowledge" that the men were in a training exercise and the soldiers believed Butler was playing a role in the war game.

The episode, called a "fatal misunderstanding" by Army officials at a news conference Tuesday at Ft. Bragg, highlighted a breakdown in communication between the military and local law enforcement officials. The failure to communicate appeared deeper when Robbins' Police Chief D.L. Brown said Tuesday afternoon that one of his officers had a similar encounter a week earlier with troops participating in the same 19-day training exercise.

In that incident, just a few miles from the fatal shooting, Officer J.D. Garner pulled over a truck towing a trailer with a canvas cover. At least one soldier thought Garner was taking part in the war game and fired on him using blank ammunition. Garner, a former Robin Sage volunteer, realized what was happening and held his fire.

In this traffic stop, the soldiers in the back of the covered trailer were in uniform. Brown said Garner informed military instructors immediately. But the Moore County Sheriff's Department said they were not told of the potentially dangerous encounter until the day after their officer shot and killed Tomeny, 31.

Army officials said that in the past, unplanned events, particularly with law enforcement officials familiar with Robin Sage, were viewed as a bonus to the realism of the exercise.

But Army officials said unlike other local law enforcement agencies, the Moore County Sheriff's Department had never participated in these games. Lane Carter, chief deputy in the department, said his officers were aware that troops trained in the area but had no idea the exercises would involve soldiers wearing civilian clothes in civilian vehicles.

The Army moved immediately to prevent future misunderstandings, ordering all Green Beret candidates to be in uniform throughout the exercise and switching from phone and mail notification of local law enforcement to face-to-face meetings.

They also discontinued the long-standing use of training activities that involved uniformed local law enforcement officials role-playing with soldiers--a tactic that had been used as recently as last week.


But the Army said it would not cancel or cut back the current Robin Sage training exercise, which still has 199 prospective Green Berets out in the field through Saturday.

"This exercise is unique within the Army not only in its setup and organization but in the fact that it has been consistently validated by operational success on the part of special operations soldiers around the world," said Col. Charles A. King, commander of the 1st Special Warfare Training Group.

The training is conducted among civilians in parts of 10 central North Carolina counties that make up nearly 4,500 square miles. King said there was no way the exercises could be replicated within the borders of Ft. Bragg. The move, he said, might eliminate confusion between role-playing and reality but would also greatly limit the test of a soldier's ability to react.

Army officials said civilians have always been used to stage the Robin Sage training. King noted that many of the 100 volunteers are second- and even third-generation participants who are acting out of "patriotism" and are not paid for their work.

Civilians are critical to realistic training, Army officials say, since dealing with nonmilitary people mimics the skills soldiers will need in the field.

King drew parallels between the work done during Robin Sage and work that was done in Afghanistan.

Pineland, he noted at Tuesday's news conference, is a land occupied by an illegally installed government, backed by invaders from the north. The war game goal of the U.S., as played out in training, is to liberate Pineland from the oppressors.

The special operations forces must meet up with guerrillas fighting within Pineland to help train and supply their efforts. They must navigate a world in which there are enemy troops abetted by law enforcement officials. In addition, they face three types of civilians: those working with them, those working against them and a majority who are neutral.

It is an elaborate, multilayered game designed to test the adaptability of troops in the field, with only about 30% of soldiers who enter Special Forces training reaching this final test.

Tomeny and Phelps were 12 days into the exercise when the incident took place. Their group, one of 15 detachments operating separately throughout the whole of Pineland, already had infiltrated enemy ground, made contact with guerrillas, set up a drop zone for supplies and located and set up the rescue for a downed pilot.

Saturday, King noted, was to have been a quiet day.

The assignment seemed simple. The two men were sent on a reconnaissance mission to scope out a railroad bridge east of Robbins. At noon they left their base camp to meet up with Leiber, the civilian driver.

After checking out the bridge, the three men drove up and down Route 705 near the town of 1,200 to familiarize themselves with the area.

It was there that Butler observed the truck, and occupants he did not recognize, twice in the same area within an hour.

Local law enforcement and Army officials agree what happened next was a case of mistaken identity by both sides. As a result, safety measures in place--which called for the soldiers to be passive when reality intruded on the game--did not kick in.

In the parking lot of a red-bricked and white-steepled church, Butler approached the truck driven by Leiber, who lives about 20 minutes from Robbins in an adjacent county. Butler told investigators he believed Leiber was trying to hide something because he saw him with a bag and then saw him try to shove the bag underneath his legs.

Leiber told him they were trying to hire migrant workers. That rang false to Butler because of the time of year.

He then put Leiber in the back of his patrol car before returning to talk to the Tomeny and Phelps. In the bag he had previously spotted, Butler believed he saw two Army rifles--although military officials later said it was one disassembled M-4 carbine with a muzzle to prevent live fire.

Tomeny approached Butler. The deputy sprayed him with pepper Mace. Butler told investigators that he then asked the men to show him their hands, but they did not. Phelps, he said, went for the bag as Tomeny urged him to get a gun. At that point Butler began shooting.

His frantic call for help once the two men were down was released Monday and played by local television and radio stations.

King said that while Moore County sheriff's officials were aware of the training exercise, no one from the Army had notified them of the Saturday reconnaissance mission in their jurisdiction "because there was nothing to coordinate."

The Robin Sage exercise, half a century old, is now conducted four times a year. In August, shortly before the last Robin Sage, Army officials asked local media to warn civilians that gunfire and strange activity they might come across was really an "unconventional warfare training scenario."

"Safety is our No. 1 priority," the Army said then. It added that "extensive planning" had been done with local officials to minimize everyone's risk. This year the Army issued no such warning.

Butler, who has been out on administrative leave with pay since Saturday, was expected to come back to work today. Phelps, 27, was listed in fair condition at a local hospital.

Many residents throughout the fictional "Pineland" say that over the 50 years the Army has been training here, they have grown accustomed to gunfire and the fireworks of practice warfare.

Others said they were shocked by the shooting. "I've lived here all my life and I always knew the military trained in this area, but I didn't know they did this kind of training," said Ann Moore, who works for the town of Robbins as a zoning administrator.

But in a region with a long and warm relationship with the military, no one said the training should stop.

Moore County's Carter asked for the final word at Tuesday's news conference.

"I'd just like to say that the Moore County Sheriff's Department is in full support of our military training within the borders of Moore County," he said. "And we will work with them closely in the future to make sure a tragic event like this does not occur."
 
Is Operation Jade Helm related to the militarization of Police Departments and federalized Drill's?

The Militarization of Police in America: “Active Shooter Training” Now Massively Federalized

DOJ and FBI Figure Centrally in Mass Shooting Drills


http://www.globalresearch.ca/the-militarization-of-police-in-america-active-shooter-training-now-massively-federalized/5421376

Dec. 23, 2014 - As mass shooting events become ever more common throughout the United States, so too has their direct coordination under Department of Justice and FBI auspices.

Aggressively publicized by a submissive corporate news media the continuum of such incidents over weeks, months and years is an essential socialization process for the public’s unquestioning acceptance of the growing police state.

An under-examined facet of this broader trend is how “active shooter drills” have become massively federalized in the wake of the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre. Alongside the militarization of police under the Pentagon’s 1033 Program, which provides high-powered weaponry and armored vehicles to state and local law enforcement agencies, officers are receiving military-style training funded and supervised by the US DOJ and government subcontractors.

Since 2002 “active shooter training” has been conducted by a project called ALERRT—Advanced Law Enforcement Rapid Response Training—housed at Texas State University in San Marcos. Over 60,000 police have been instructed by ALERRT-trained personnel, and over the past 12 years the entity has received over $30 million of funding from the DOJ’s Bureau of Justice Assistance, the Violence Against Law Enforcement and Ensuring Officer Resilience and Survivability program “VALOR”), Texas’ Office of the Governor, and the Department of Homeland Security.[1]

The money for such training is merely a small portion of almost $290 million in DOJ munificence distributed to 56 states and territories, and over 1,000 local jurisdictions in 2014 alone. “These resources are helping to spur innovation and drive evidence-based policing in countless communities,” Attorney General Eric Holder recently remarked.[2]

FBI sent 100 of its agents to receive instructor training at ALERRT’s Texas State headquarters. In June of that year Vice President Joe Biden recognized ALERRT “as a primary source for national law enforcement training and response to active shooter events.”[3]

Within weeks of Biden’s announcement FBI personnel fanned out across the US to conduct ALERRT-approved training to local law enforcement officers. In August 2013 drills were taking place in seemingly every police jurisdiction throughout the US.

“Since these exercises are designed to be as realistic as possible, students, school personnel, and the broader public may be unsuspectingly caught up in the contrived terror, unable to distinguish whether the ‘actors’ alongside the accompanying gunfire and explosions are real or fake.” This essential interpretive element is left up to the relevant local, state, and federal agencies to explain, or “spin,” to the media. Inevitably the implications of federal sponsorship and/or supervision in such maneuvers goes unexamined.[4]

Equally concerning is the fact that up until the mid-2000s the location and date of active shooter drills were a matter of public record, being noted in a freely-accessible federal registry.[5] Now with mass shooter training almost entirely outsourced to ALERRT, such statistics no longer exist. This lack of accountability gives federal agencies free reign in terms of how such events might be used.

This crucial omission in reportage serves as an oblique form of propaganda, giving the impression that every mass shooting incident is genuine, when in fact some may be the outgrowth of a drill combined with federal law enforcement and/or intelligence sleight of hand.


Does any of the above, have anything to do with the murders of Gray State movie writer David Crowley and family in December 2014?
http://cassiopaea.org/forum/index.php/topic,33133.0.html

Gray State is an independent pre-apocalyptic dystopian film that chronicles the collapse of society. It is coming - by consent or conquest.

The world reels with the turmoil of war, geological disaster, and economic collapse, while Americans continue to submerge themselves in illusions of safety and immunity. While rights are sold for security, the federal government, swollen with power, begins a systematic takeover of liberty in order to bring about a New World Order.

David Crowley was also deeply involved in the Liberty Movement.
 
David Crowley also had deep ties with Alex Jones and his ilk, fwiw.
 
I have to admit an instinctive warning light pops up whenever I come across that name... green language and all... but it would be nice to substantiate that affirmation :)
 
A Jay said:

From my stand point, the words, "deep ties" may be questionable, if you investigate David Crowley's last 5-6 years of life, what he was involved in (other than his activities in producing The Gray State) and how those activities were inter-related to each other AND at what point "Alex Jones was inserted into the picture" which resulted in a sharp decline in Crowley's personal income and a stalemate, in progressing further to finance the production of his movie?

Alex Jones can viewed, more like a "moth" that was pointed in the direction of a bright light - to smother it with it's shadow.
 
FWIW, I watched some of the "grey state" film and found nothing new in it. It was not very well produced, and very similar to other Alex Jones type films. I don't really see any reason to think that Crowley didn't kill his wife and child and then commit suicide. Sadly it's an all-too-common event in our profoundly messed up society.

I don't have a firm opinion, either way, if Crowley killed his family and then committed suicide. It's a high probability, considering what he immersed his daily life in and can't be ruled out.

David Crowley and Mitch Heil formed "Bullet Exchange" which was heavy into MilSim (military simulation) war re-enactment events and video productions. The Grey State film's trailer featured some of those war re-enactments but funding was needed to develop a movie script and finished product. Crowley never got that far.

With so many combat veterans, police officers, and gun enthusiasts, the importance of military and weapon accuracy in films is higher than it has ever been before. The average viewer is smarter than filmmakers typically think they are. The purpose of the Bullet Exchange is to bring that aspect of realism to the screen. Inaccuracies will draw the audience's attention away from the story. We will help keep your audience in the story... not to mention lend your story the credibility it NEEDS to look as realistic as possible!
 
A counter surveillance group of Patriot Activists have set up a Facebook page, to gather information on the on-going activities of the military exercises in Jade Helm.

U.S. patriots launch 'Counter Jade Helm' protests in 15 states
http://www.naturalnews.com/049233_Jade_Helm_15_US_patriots_counter-surveillance.html

April 1, 2015 - A U.S. military exercise involving hundreds of special operations forces including Navy SEALs and Army Green Berets that is set to kick off in a number of states around the country and focus on the South and Southwest is prompting a number of patriot organizations to man up and launch what they describe as a massive "counter surveillance exercise."

In response to these covert domestic military exercises, activists have launched a Facebook page titled "Counter Jade Helm Exercises" that is hosted by Pete Lanteri, former president of Icon Tactical Industries.

"Since the military wants to infiltrate our towns for practice, then We the Patriots should use this as a counter surveillance exercise!!" states the page's description. "I'm calling on Militias and other Patriot groups to counter this exercise with surveillance of the military's attempt to infiltrate US towns!" Citizens concerned with increased domestic military activity can join the Facebook group to get involved in the counter-surveillance exercises and help safeguard our liberties.

Comment section:

** You can add New Mexico to Jade Helm locations. Oro Grande Range is part of the massive Ft. Bliss (El Paso, TX) installation. It will serve Jade Helm with missile firing ranges (surface-to-air) and a urban-rural warfare training facility, inc a very large "room and house clearing" training facility that can handle hundreds of trainees at one time. They are advertising on the local news that they have jobs for people to serve as "enemy and civilian role players".

** Same sort of thing going on in Alberta, Canada. What are they up to?
https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=10203951656975513&pnref=story

** To whoever see's this and wants help? I'm retired AF and I'm on the flight path at Davis-Montham. And I regularly observe how many Hogs are flying and what munitions they are caring. The Ops tempo hasn't changed here yet and I'm keeping a close eye on what's going on. The air traffic that has increased though is the amount of AH-64's and Army UH-60's flying around. That traffic has increased about 3 fold now and I will keep an eye on that also. Whoever is keeping tabs or collecting data please write me and let me know what your looking for.

** They added Mississippi and Florida to Jade Helm. Any units there who want to be involved with Counter Jade Helm please PM me.

Questions for Cs:

Can C's comment on Jade Helm and the interpretation Alex Jones' Show gave as "China is in Control?" Is this fulfillment of Edgar Cayce's prophecy that China would have more influence in a new world order? What will happen to the role players, those that take the "jobs" described in the above posts? Is this like Nazi showers? One way ticket? Is the NWO essentially global socialism?

FWIW, I have noticed more air traffic from East to West, and more small planes, like Cessna, private aircraft, and more low-flying planes in NW. Are those related to a "counter-revolution" or are they private parties seeking to leave the area before a battle occurs? Is the battle going to be on the ground or primarily at the bank/online?

I am concerned also about morality of issues such as: report that Indiana and Arkansas are passing anti-gay law restricting who businesses can serve, reversing civil rights. This is no different from signs in the 1930s that said we don't serve N*gg3rs or J3ws, etc. Will these new "Ugly Laws" (ref to book by same name) succeed?

I am concerned about another Alex Jones report that random petition asking young American adults for their permission to kill those under age 5 and over age 55 finding that the majority signed it it is too similar to the famous Milgram study with the test subjects being shocked. I don't expect C's to address Alex Jones (I am not sure what to make of the man either) but I am asking these TOPICs be addressed.

Reports that ISIS is killing civilians who cannot "prove" they are Muslim by reciting Koran verses by instant shooting or stabbing, is that true? Kenyan college students slaughtered this past week is a for instance.

Final question: is Billy Fingers story true? Did he ascend and if so, can C's comment on his current whereabouts as a "spirit" not "soul," as he gave up his soul in the last chapter.

Namaste from Aloha

NYPD receives $180M grant to aid fight against terrorism
http://nypost.com/2015/04/02/nypd-receives-180m-grant-to-aid-fight-against-terrorism/

Thurs. April 2, 2015 - The NYPD will be getting a boost of federal funds to help combat terrorism, officials announced Wednesday.

The city will receive $180 million as part of a nationwide grant program from the Department of Homeland Security that aims to better prepare local and state governments and law enforcement agencies in the event of a terrorist attack.

The NYPD will be getting the lion’s share of the cash, which will go toward surveillance and terror fighting equipment like cameras, bomb sniffing dogs and communications infrastructure, according to DHS secretary Jeh Johnson.

Money will also be used to pay for things like overtime costs for police officers and anti-terror teams at airports, bus and train stations.

The grants for the city and state are part of a $1.6 billion payout the DHS will make to cities and states around the country.

Earlier this year, Police Commissioner Bill Bratton lobbied lawmakers in Washington to continue funding the financially strapped DHS during a budget standoff in Congress back in February.

I can comment on their behalf: if the suggestion was that China is somehow involved in or responsible for these drills/ops, then it's ridiculous. The US police state is very much an American affair. However, if the suggestion is that China may soon be in control globally, or have greater influence than the US in world affairs, then yes, this is possible, but not because of any 'battle' with the US, rather because the US has imploded in on itself.

Aloha said:
Is this fulfillment of Edgar Cayce's prophecy that China would have more influence in a new world order?

I looked this up and found something on it on the A.R.E. website:

Decades before the rest of the world was thinking about the enormous impact that China would have upon the global stage, Edgar Cayce predicted great things for China and its people. On one occasion, Cayce told a group of people that eventually China would become “the cradle of Christianity, as applied in the lives of men.” (3976-29), suggesting that the personal application of spiritual principles would become paramount to the Chinese people. Cayce then went on to caution that it would take a long time to manifest but that it was the country’s destiny: “Yea, it is far off as man counts time, but only a day in the heart of God – for tomorrow China will awake.”

The NWO aka The Beast aka The Antichrist is very much an Anglo-American/Western affair. I think it's very unlikely that the current Chinese regime would suddenly subsume itself into it. However, a 'new order' post-dollar collapse is almost certainly going to be heavily influenced by China. As far as 'Chinese Christianity' is concerned, all I can say at the moment is that China (and Russia too) seem to be going about their plans with as little bloodshed as possible (ie, none, relative to the Western order). That augurs well for a decently-ruled China, but I would caution that China could also go under when the global dollar system goes. By the time things settle, an entirely different regime could emerge in China (and Russia).

Aloha said:
What will happen to the role players, those that take the "jobs" described in the above posts? Is this like Nazi showers? One way ticket? Is the NWO essentially global socialism?

The US-led NWO vision is one of a hell on Earth for ordinary humanity. We're already there, really, although things can certainly get worse still.

I don't think anyone will be leaving anywhere for a while yet. The main movements will be the police/military moving into black/poor suburbs to suppress food riots.

Aloha said:

I'm not sure what you mean here.

In some areas, maybe. It's all about engendering division and conflict. So the owners of America are behind the push to both institute these laws, and protest against them.

Stargate mountain: Pentagon moves comm gear back to Cold War-era bunker
http://rt.com/usa/247729-pentagon-bunker-cold-war/

Wed. April 8, 2015 - The United States’ airspace defense military is planning to move its communications equipment back to its iconic nuclear Cold War-era bunker which was abandoned nearly a decade ago, the head of the agency announced.

The Cheyenne Mountain bunker in Colorado Springs, which was the filming location for the popular Stargate SG-1 science fiction TV series, was first built in 1965 to resist a Soviet nuclear attack. It was a key center for United States Space Command and North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD), which scanned Canadian and US airspace via a worldwide system of missiles.

The site was abandoned in 2006 due to heavy costs, and since then the complex has been merely on "warm standby," meaning it is only staffed when required.

Now NORAD and US Space Command have decided to move back to the Cold War-era bunker. Admiral William Gortney, chief of NORAD and Northern Command, said it was necessary to safeguard sensitive sensors and servers from a potential electromagnetic pulse (EMP) attack.

According to the navy admiral, “there's a lot of movement to put capability into Cheyenne Mountain and to be able to communicate in there.”

“We have the space for it, we have the cube. My primary concern was are we going to have the space inside the mountain for everybody who wants to move in there, and I'm not at liberty to discuss who's moving in there, but we do have that capability to be there.”

Answering the question how soon the airspace military is planning to relocate to the nuclear bunker, he said that the process has already begun.

“It happened long before I got there; the people are moving in there. And so it was, you know decisions from my predecessor and I support those decisions. And we'll make sure that it all gets in there and it's all secure.”

The Cheyenne Mountain Complex has the capability to send warnings that could trigger the launch of nuclear missiles.

In March, the US Department of Defense announced a $700 million contract with Raytheon Technical Services Company, a major defense contractor and industrial corporation, to work on the North American Aerospace Defense Command Cheyenne Mountain Complex.

Since 2013, US authorities have struck $850 million worth of deals for work related to the Cheyenne Mountain Complex.
 
A Drill in Canada with U.S. troops: April 20 - May 23, 2015.

Canadian Army partners with U.S. Troops in deployment exercise
http://www.kenoradailyminerandnews.com/2015/03/19/canadian-army-partners-with-us-troops-in-deployment-exercise

Exercise Maple Caravan involves Canadian and U.S. troops in moving the equipment from Valcartier, QC for training exercises in Wainwright, AB.

“It is important for the Canadian Army to be challenged with the most realistic and dynamic experiences possible in regard to operational situations such as cross-border logistics, driving in inclement weather, navigating unfamiliar roads and training with our U.S. partners, all to achieve excellence in operations and seamless coordination with our allies,” Canadian Army Commander Lt-Gen. Marquis Hainse stated in a news release. “Exercise Maple Caravan provides an exceptional opportunity for the Canadian Army to practise a joint logistical operation with its American ally, while using a cost-effective way to manage a large equipment movement to a major training exercise site.”

This exercise will include approximately 325 personnel from the Canadian Army, the U.S. Army National Guard and the U.S. Army Reserve.

Maple Resolve will be conducted at the Canadian Manoeuvre Training Centre in Wainwright, Alberta from April 20 to May 23. The exercise will involve nearly 4,500 military personnel from Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom.

Sunday April 11, 2015 - The official purpose of the exercise, dubbed Operation Jade Helm 15, according to the military is to prepare American soldiers and special operations teams for emerging foreign threats. But investigations by independent media outlets suggest it is much more than a standard “training exercise.”

Involving as many as 10 states, the operation reportedly identifies several hostile areas around the United States, including Texas and Utah and aims to have the military prepared to “master the human domain” by utilizing citizen reports and surveillance to accomplish their mission. In other words, as Dave Hodges recently noted, they want to engender trust in order to control “the totality of the physical, cultural, and social environments that influence human behavior.”

And though spokespeople for the U.S. government insist the exercise is strictly for training our military to protect our national interests in foreign theaters and has nothing to do with domestic deployment of military personnel, some details suggest that the Jade Helm 15 operation will include strategies for identifying and rounding up dissidents and subversives.

To add further fuel to the fire EKS Group LLC., a Federal contractor, is now seeking Department of Defense role players who will be tasked with what appears to be exercises that simulate the forced detention and relocation of American citizens.

According to the job posting, the Department of Defense is seeking individuals “to play a vital role in assisting with this security related training.”

The job description itself, says Dave Hodges, is a clear indicator that the Jade Helm 15 operation has been designed as an exercise for a future implementation of martial law, wherein the government will declare a national emergency and lock-down the entire country, complete with the round up and relocation of those deemed to be hostile threats to our national security.

Why else would the job qualifications require applicants to have the ability to walk up to 18 miles per day in blistering heat and be transported in a car for up to 12 hours at a time?

The full job description is posted below:

Given what we know about the Jade Helm 15 operation, previous exercises, and existing Doomsday Executive Orders, is it out of the question to suggest that our government, right before our eyes, is now putting the final processes and procedures into place for a coming implementation of martial law across the United States of America?

We know the government has been simulating collapse scenarios in anticipation of widespread civil unrest and breakdown. This can only mean they are getting ready for something big.

What they haven’t done is to tell the American people that they, too, need to be preparing for major changes.
 
Just found this bit of info while searching Operation Jade Helm, don't know if it is related or anything, so fwiw.

Walmart Stores from Texas to Florida Close Today for 6 Months without Notice: What is going on? I just heard that numerous Wal-Mart stores from Texas to Florida are closing immediately for 6 month period due to “plumbing problems.” There was no pre-announcement and the store shelves were fully stocked. They even had to discount frozen goods 50% to get rid of the stock. They have given all employees a 2 month severance pay. Does this have anything to do with Jade Helm? I have heard that Wal-Mart has a contract with DHS to act as a command and logistics center for FEMA in case of a national emergency.

I guess Walmart closed about 5 or 6 of it's locations on April 14th suddenly, giving the employees only hours notice, all saying that they have a plumbing problem. There are two locations in Texas, Oklahoma, and I think, two locations in Florida.

From: _http://www.mrt.com/news/top_stories/article_58c1eee0-e211-11e4-b32a-6bd71d0d349b.html

Walmart statement says:

As part of an effort to ensure all of our stores are fully serving the needs of our customers, we regularly assess the conditions of our stores. Due to ongoing plumbing issues that will require extensive repairs, we are temporarily closing the Midland store at 4517 N. Midland Dr. We will immediately begin the process to address these issues and intend to reopen the store as soon as all of the plumbing issues are resolved. Deciding to close a store is not a decision we make lightly, but after careful consideration, we felt it was necessary to make these repairs so we can better serve our customers and the community in the long run.

Also, found that Colorado is no longer going to take part in Jade Helm.
