(INTELLIHUB) — As the buildup to Jade Helm continues, new video footage out of Oroville, California shows a convoy of military vehicles as far as the eye can see. A description on the video claims that the convoy was headed east away from California and that it could have reached as far as Texas at this point. “A massive buildup, a lot of movement and its undeniable at this point.” The video also shows military vehicles positioned outside a Texas Walmart and an array of military equipment in Oregon that the photographer noted was much more than is usually at the site. This new footage comes at a time when military movements throughout the country are being seen at previously unheard of levels. From dirty bomb simulations to Marine preparation for riots in America, something is definitely up. “Footage taken in late March 2015 highlights United States Marines practicing their riot control skills, complete with angry protesters confronting a group of armed military personal. The Operational Readiness Excercise took place at the Naval Weapons Station in Yorktown, Virginia and included infantrymen and artillerymen with Golf Company and Echo Battery, 2nd Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment,” reported Alex Thomas. “Interestingly enough, the photos and video were actually released by the military itself in a move that shows that this training is actually something that they want the American people to see.” “The Marines are training for riot and crowd control on American soil where Tea Partiers and Constitutionalists are constantly demonized by politicians and the media. In the event of civil unrest these same Marines could deploy this training upon Americans,” said Gary Franchi. Note to Readers: One of the most important things to remember about Jade Helm 2015 is that no one knows for certain what the realistic military training exercise will actually end up being. It may be a massive training event for future civil unrest in America or it could be the reason for that unrest. What we can do now is cover all the issues leading up to the training and discuss what we believe to be the most likely outcome. There is no Jade Helm “hoax”, the training is public knowledge and will happen one way or another.

People Panicing Over Military Equipment Shipped By Rail. Imagine this: you see a train pass you by and rather than just having nondescript boxcars or inter-modal containers, it has *gasp* military vehicles on it. It’s as if the military sometimes has to ship vehicles from one place to another! Well, this has been happening, in fact, it seems that this activity is increasing and the result is about what you might have expected. Youtubers and conspiracy theorists are posting videos like crazy saying it is a sure sign of impending marshal law/genocide/mass imprisonment or something similar. The simple answer as to why you might see tanks and large trucks on trains: they burn a lot of fuel. Trains tend to be more efficient as a means of transporting military hardware. Also, treaded vehicles can’t be driven on US roadways, and even if they could, they are too slow to keep up with traffic on highways. They therefore must be transported by flat bed trucks or railroad. Rail is the preferred method when moving more than a small number. Transition of equipment by train is quite common and routine. It’s also nothing new. During the Second World War and into the height of the Cold War, military equipment trains were a very common site. Though the practice never really went away, it is not surprising that the practice would have recently increased in frequency. The United States has withdrawn from Iraq and is currently drawing down troop levels in Afghanistan. The result of this is that huge numbers of military vehicles have been brought back to the US. These are likely to be shipped on trains to the facilities where they will be stored. It has been pointed out that many of the vehicles have been seen in green forest camouflage color schemes, leading to the claim that they must not be related to the activities in the middle-east. However, these vehicles may simply be those which have been displaced by the return of other vehicles, which has resulted in a huge realignment of assets. One of the biggest realignments of vehicles is occurring with the MRAP or Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected vehicle. Thousands of vehicles of this type were purchased in huge numbers by the US military during the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. They are designed to be highly survivable when attacked by IED’s, landmines, rocket propelled grenades and other such weapons. This was a direct response to the tactics used against the US by insurgents. The vehicles worked very well and resulted in a reduction in the deaths of soldiers from ambushes on convoys. However, the military now has thousands more MRAP’s than it requires. Although several thousand will be retained, more than 13,000 are in the process of being declared surplus. Some are being given to law enforcement agencies (which does present some concerns of the militarization of police forces) while others are behind sold to allied nations. Still others are off to the scrap heap or the bone-yard. Transporting all these vehicles to reprocessing facilities and then to their ultimate fate represents yet another huge logistical challenge.
Please explain your reasoning to the approximate 90 member dead church-goers at the Branch Davidian church located at Waco, Tx. Although I can not speak for them, it seems they left the planet in a sudden way.
They were members of a cult. That doesn't mean they deserved death, however there is a vast difference between a Christian Church and a cult.

A few other things to consider (if we are to play devils advocate):

Tanks are not very good for urban warfare. They might work for breaking down some of the initial barriers, but they are too big to go through narrow allies or streets, too heavy for many bridges and overpasses and pavement causes a great deal of wear on the treads (and the treads cause a lot of wear on the pavement). They’re better for warfare in more open and unsettled areas. Also, the sheer armor of tanks would not be necessary for war against the population, where they would likely only face small arms fire.
