When the American flag is flown upside down, if you were not aware, it is a signal of dire distress.

Can you imagine what it is like to suddenly have low-flying military helicopters, explosions, and gunfire rocking your home in the middle of the night?

This message went out on Facebook around midnight last night from the official Lapeer County Police, EMS, and Fire Facebook page:

Screenshot 2015-06-07 at 3.11.00 PM

“ATTENTION VIEWERS: PER FLINT POLICE OPERATIONS (FPO) THE US ARMY IS DOING TRAINING IN FLINT THIS WEEKEND AND YOU MAY HEAR HELCOPTERS, GUNFIRE, & EXPLOSIONS. PLEASE DO NOT BE ALARMED.”

That message was sent out last night around midnight.

Over the next few hours, some concerned and even downright scared citizens responded to what was taking place over and around their homes.

Screenshot 2015-06-07 at 3.14.43 PM

Screenshot 2015-06-07 at 3.16.34 PM

Many were asking if this was part of Jade Helm. While several others in the thread responded said it was, the Lapeer County Police, EMS, and Fire Facebook page never officially confirmed or denied this.

Although some people were essentially congratulating the authorities for this last-minute martial law training in their neighborhood streets, others were more afraid of the attitudes of their fellow Americans.

Screenshot 2015-06-07 at 3.15.33 PM

Around 8 p.m. Saturday night, M Live reported that police were coordinating safety measures for military exercises that were being announced for three areas in Flint:

Police warn that helicopters and small explosions are expected to be part of the exercise. The exercise is controlled and contained, and police said there is no reason to be alarmed.

The training exercises will conclude later Saturday night.

Police announced Friday the exercises would take place over the weekend, and residents in the areas where training was taking place would be notified.

Explosions rocked Flint’s East Side Tuesday, June 2, as the city warned residents to prepare for simulated ammunition fire and helicopters as U.S. Army soldiers begin 10 days of training.

On Saturday afternoon, members of the U.S. Army National Guard 1776 MP Company went to Mounds RV Park in Mt. Morris to train in armored security vehicles. Some 60 to 70 soldiers were on site, ready to train to receive their licenses to operate the vehicles.

Noting that the training would take place Saturday night kinda misleads one to believe it will be at a reasonable hour, doesn’t it?

Flint, Michigan only has 100,000 people. It’s not a huge city. Why should people expect a small-scale war to suddenly break out on their streets?

No explanation was ever given as to why this training could not have been conducted on a military base instead of on the residential streets of Flint, Michigan.

This isn’t just one evening. This is ten days of hardcore military training. Ten days of low-flying chinooks in the middle of the night. Ten days of random gunfire and explosions breaking out. Ten days of armored military vehicles cruising the roads. Ten days of increased military presence in the streets of yet another American city.

Imagine explaining this to your terrified children who are awakened in the middle of the night by what sounds like war breaking out in their Flint, Michigan backyard.

Of course, if Flint residents happened to not be watching their TVs or checking up on law enforcement’s social media pages like the Lapeer County Police, EMS, and Fire Facebook page, they wouldn’t have known, would they?

Unannounced or barely announced military drills complete with realistic-sounding explosions, military hardware and even the detainment of mock dissidents have become a much more frequent occurrence on Main Street U.S.A. in recent months. In the lead up to this July’s Jade Helm drill, during which local, state, and federal law enforcement and military agencies will be teaming up and training together all across the Southwest for what we are told are international battlefields far far away, it has been happening more and more. We have no Posse Comitatus, quite obviously.

Martial law desensitization is in full swing.

Disruptive and alarming drills continue to break out in sporadic locations across the country. As unannounced and unnerving as they are to local residents, a bigger and much uglier picture is being painted here.

Did you know that after the American Revolutionary War, most people in this country considered a standing army to be one of the most dangerous threats to liberty imaginable?

Skip ahead a couple hundred years. Now look at where we are.

This is America now. This is what our nation has become.

Look around. Are we really a free country?

We should not allow ourselves to be conditioned to accept and expect warfare in our backyards.

There is every reason not to want the military to get used to training in our streets with our militarized police forces, much less carrying out raids on the citizens, and patrolling us. 

There is every reason not to want our neighbors, friends, and family to become acclimated to it either. There is every reason to question and speak out against this.

Has anyone even sufficiently justified why this is really necessary?

“For your safety” just isn’t cutting it anymore.

Despite what the NDAA says, America is not a battlefield. The fact that officials see it as otherwise is deeply alarming and signals nothing less than tyranny.

Utterly bizarre and disgraceful. What are they waiting for? Can't the FEMA Camps be opened tomorrow and Martial Law declared yesterday?? Sure -- there might be the satisfaction of seeing your liberal neighbor or Statist shills there with you, spacing out in shock and disbelief through the barbed wire fence. (I wonder if the Camp will awaken the prisoners...er...I mean citizens with the National Anthem or theme to Hogan's Heroes?)

Martial law desensitization is in full swing....

“For your safety” just isn’t cutting it anymore.

This snip is the absolute truth on the matter. The meme, "For your safety" has worked like a charm since 9/11. The USCON has been shredded since. And so has the truth.

Though many of us respect those who serve, have you ever wondered why since 9/11, cameras have focused on police and military personnel during ballgames and events for a "moment" to "honor our brave servicemen and women for defending us" during 7th innings? Why "God Bless America" is always piped in? Why singers sporting full military dress warble (off-key) the National Anthem before games? There's an interesting revelation:

It has been divulged as of late that this is NOT because stadiums, pro leagues and team owners are patriotic; It's been because the US gubmint has PAID them as a matter of propaganda, advertisement, and conditioning. Conditioning to accept military uniforms EVERYWHERE. Ergo, nothing is what it seems; This is a matter is deception, theater, and a psyop.

Not a single official statement or claim from this gubmint since 9/11 can be believed. America (especially the Republican faithful) were peppered with partial truths as the MO of Dubya's globalist-run regime ran counter to common sense and constitutional law; This conveniently prepared and conditioned ALL sheeple to accept the 100% rate of lies uttered by 0blabla's regime.

What an utterly brilliant observation!

I hadn't made any connection between Jade Helm and the military worship that has been a part of sports for the last several years.

I always thought it was 'free' recruitment advertising.

Before 9/11 military folks were those 'folks who lived on the base/fort over there.' Even though most of us lived in their towns, cities and shopped in their stores etc.

So military folk in their 'business suits' at a ball game is not uncommon. We saw it during WWII, in the 50s, during Vietnam etc.

Now for the article. It is also not uncommon in our American history to have military exercises on home soil off a military reservation or national training center.

The largest exercise in fact were the Louisiana Maneuvers:

The rain fell, too, on 350,000 U.S. soldiers and 50,000 U.S. Army vehicles as they fought the greatest sham battle in U.S. history. The attack had come before dawn. With two fast-moving, hard-hitting armored divisions leading the way, Lieutenant General Ben Lear, commander of the Second (Red) Army, had pushed his troops across the muddy Red River, was already sending long tentacles down the highways to the south, where Lieutenant General Walter Krueger’s Third (Blue) Army lay in wait. Overhead, armadas of pursuit planes fought great dogfights, while sleek A-20A attack bombers and Navy dive bombers strafed the columns of tanks and trucks moving up to the front.

That excerpt from the Oct. 6, 1941, issue of Life opened a multipage feature article on the largest mass training maneuvers undertaken by the U.S. Army to date. The mock battles of what became known as the Louisiana Maneuvers had one purpose: to prepare America’s soldiers for the war that had already begun in Europe and was threatening to spread around the world.

http://www.historynet.com/louisiana-maneuvers-1940-41.htm

Of course the area was a lot less populated than now. However, George S. Patton did not turn his Corps on Baton Rouge and round up everyone into concentration camps. He could have as he had the men and materiel to do so. But he did not. Why? Because Patton like every Soldier, Airmen, Marine and Sailor took an oath (as they do today) to support and defend the Constitution of the United States. Not the Pentagon, or some general or even the President. Military are only obligated to obey lawful orders.

So these exercises are not the military coming to get us all and declare martial law. These are drug induced delusions by the same people who want to legalize recreational use of every drug under the sun to include Meth. Paranoia is a side effect of most of these drugs.

And remember...military folk live in your communities, eat at the same restaurants, go to the same schools etc. We are not as cloistered as we used to be. And that is good for all of us.

Plus, if this exercise the article discusses was anything important I would probably know about it;)

Go ask the good people of FL what they think of the Atlantic Strike Exercise each year. I could not find the article but I remember some locals getting in a fit over all the 'fatigues' on the streets of the central FL town during the exercise. Meaning they complained the exercise was in their town off the reservation. After a bit of investigation (did not take much), she viewed military personnel in uniforms traveling from base to their off post hotels/motels. Hardly an invasion and probably appreciated by the local merchants.

Well yes I do. I live off a military installation where they do military stuff like drop bombs, fire tanks, artillery etc. Sometimes through the night.

Don't these people live near a military installation?

I don't think I've seen any copies posted. Another disturbing element of the entire event. If their training is so harmless, why so much secrecy?

For that matter, they are emphasizing training on infiltration of civilian towns and trying to "pass" long enough to accomplish their objectives.

However, there is a fundamental problem with this.

The only place our soldiers can operate without uniforms apparently is here in the States. If our military attempts civilian infiltration of foreign nations, they will be non-uniformed combatants and could be summarily executed as spies/assassins.

So, unless you think it's spiffy to train our troops to operate outside the Geneva Convention, then exactly what is the merit of this ridiculous exercise? What is there about it that is so invaluable that they would conduct it to the detriment of the military's reputation?

No matter what it is, it is now worth doing. Jade Helm is a terrible plan and these pols should rightly be chastised for allowing the Pentagon to go nuts with such "training exercises" (for non-uniformed operations that cannot be carried out lawfully by U.S. military overseas).

I did this in Laos,Cambodia,and Viet Nam. So did a lot of other people.

The prime reason they are doing it here in the US during training missions is some soldiers,mostly people in leadership roles,need to experience this sort of thing from the perspective of the people you will be running operations against in real world deployments so you can have insights on how civilian populations will react and the things they will do.

Part of every SFQT training is an infiltration course out on the "economy." I'm sure they can tell you this has been going on since the 60s.

It's been going on as a part of the formal training with SF since the early 1950's,and more casually since WW-2 as the newly formed paratrooper divisions were preparing to jump into occupied Europe,where they would sometimes need the help of partisans for directions and discriptions of enemy positions.

Paratroopers,by definition jump in behind enemy lines,so there had to be some training about how to deal with local civilians and utilize them when necessary.

Show it...The military farts and the ACLU is there to smell it. Military personnel get in a bar fight and it's 'news' even here in Texas. Show me. Not these delusional and paranoid 'sources' Deckard posts.

The infiltration course of SFQT avoids contact with the local populace. That's the purpose of the exercise. To go deep into an area of operations undetected. Not to interact with the local populace. 101st Airborne conducts Air Assault training from Florida to the Carolinas to Kentucky every year since the Cold War. They don't go into towns and cities but are out on the countryside establishing LZs.

The sources so far published here show a military exercise led by Special Forces rounding up civilians. That is not a mission of SF nor do they have the logistical capacity for such missions. Any interaction with the local populace is done via the various state's National Guard.

Any training states side in preparation for deployment overseas involving civilians is done via 'actor' civilian role players.

Until someone can come up with a credible source on this JH exercise itself, as in an exercise directive, all we have are the usual hysterical piecemeal specious sites 'reporting' this.

25 years of military experience conducting exercises here and overseas tell me what is being presented here of our active duty military interacting with an unwillful local populace is bunk.

Reports of helicopters flying low, explosions of artillery and tanks at a local impact area is not out of the norm states side. We forget a lot of these smaller military installations were active during the Cold War and saw little use since then.

Lastly, the very first of our citizens who would cry foul of military intervention for even an exercise, would be active duty military.

So someone needs to show me this exercise. Show me the Soldiers on the ground and the patches on their left shoulder.

We are also dealing with an American populous where only the older folk remember the days of Cold War stateside training. The presence back then was on a larger scale. Add to the fact that we have more urban sprawl now so greater chance of civilians seeing what has been happening. Add to that blogs etc reporting such.

Just last year someone on LP reported seeing a long train with military equipment on it and opined that the equipment was going to be used for one of these FEMA exercises. We used to get reports of military AF aircraft flying low in some areas. I wonder if they all just slept through it all during the Cold War when SAC was flying all over the place and we had I think (Gary and Pete help me here) 5 NG/Reserve SF Groups training stateside often on weekends and for their annual training in the summer.

Then again we have all lived on or next to a military installation over the years and some places in our country have not heard the 'boom' of artillery in the impact area since the Cold War. Some were even immune to it back then.

No,they weren't. Some were always in civilian clothes playing the role of locals.

Not to mention all the escape and evasion courses given to air crews that may have gotten shot down in Europe and who needed to dress in civilian clothes to avoid capture by the Nazi's.

Or POW's who escaped.

The Pentagon press releases mention infiltrating civilian areas undetected and the sound of guns and explosions in civilian areas. Meaning that they are in contact with or likely to be in contact with civilians. Otherwise, why wouldn't you stage your exercises on federal lands or a military reservation like Fort Hood? Why do they insist they must conduct their training in proximity to civilians if civilians do not comprise any element of the exercise? We have plenty of empty land and even mostly empty towns they could drill in if that is the real objective.

Some were always in civilian clothes playing the role of locals.

Not to mention all the escape and evasion courses given to air crews that may have gotten shot down in Europe and who needed to dress in civilian clothes to avoid capture by the Nazi's.

Or POW's who escaped.

None of whom were still under the protections of the Geneva Conventions.

You do realize we have imprisoned a lot of people at Gitmo and delivered others for rendition by torture to allies like Poland, Egypt, Romania, etc. and that nearly all of them were held under the status of "unlawful combatants".

What, it's wrong for foreigners to fight in civilian clothes but a glorious defense of democracy when we do it?

These international standards about soldiers is meant to protect lawful soldiers and the civilian population. As with so many other things we once did right, people seem to have no regard for these norms.

It seems just another example of rising lawlessless by the elites and the courts. And very few voices speaking for these policies that helped safeguard the peace and render the conduct of war a little less brutal and capricious.

I am surprised that you seem to want to portray our paratroopers and special forces as being nothing more than an army of spies, saboteurs and assassins. Because if you are not in a military uniform, that is what you are.

The Pentagon press releases mention infiltrating civilian areas undetected and the sound of guns and explosions in civilian areas. Meaning that they are in contact with or likely to be in contact with civilians. Otherwise, why wouldn't you stage your exercises on federal lands or a military reservation like Fort Hood? Why do they insist they must conduct their training in proximity to civilians if civilians do not comprise any element of the exercise? We have plenty of empty land and even mostly empty towns they could drill in if that is the real objective.

Please post the Pentagon press release. Thanks.

Where exactly are these "explosions and sound of guns" happening? Is there an old out of use NG or Federal military installation nearby? If so, was it used in the past for service practice of ammunition. Once again, to expend any pyro practice munitions or live explosives off of a military reservation is prohibited by regulations.

Otherwise, why wouldn't you stage your exercises on federal lands or a military reservation like Fort Hood? Why do they insist they must conduct their training in proximity to civilians if civilians do not comprise any element of the exercise?

Frankly there is no reason to do so as you note. We spent millions on building 'mock villages' and city streets with buildings ON military installations. We have and currently employ civilian role players for these ON military installation exercises. Arab costumes and all.

Could it be some of these peaceful towns hearing explosions forgot that prior to 9/11 we had units conducting force on force training on military installations firing artillery, dropping bombs, shooting Bradley and Abrams gunnery 7 days a week 24 hours a day, but that stopped when we trained for a COIN fight? Well we are back to pre-9/11 training now. More booms in the night.

Meaning that they are in contact with or likely to be in contact with civilians.

So I need more evidence these explosions and gun fire are happening OFF NG and federal land. Likely does not cut it.

The infiltration course of SFQT avoids contact with the local populace. That's the purpose of the exercise.

Author: Jade Helm about winning civilian trust

...a few years ago, U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM) officials decided they needed a new method of warfare to combat untraditional foes like al-Qaida, so they vowed to “master the human domain.”

“What that does is it basically requires the military to adopt a strategy that leads to long-term relations in order to win military battles,” Chumley explained.

Such a strategy involves dropping Special Forces in targeted areas, where they try to blend in with the local civilian population. The key is for the soldiers to build trust among the civilians and subsequently influence their behaviors.

Lastly, the very first of our citizens who would cry foul of military intervention for even an exercise, would be active duty military.

Soldiers will follow the orders of those above.

U.S. Troops Asked If They Would Shoot American Citizens

Will You Fire On American Citizens?

The above question is quickly becoming the new litmus test for military officers to retain their rank. My military sources have been telling me that one of the primary reasons that we have seen a wholesale leadership change in the military, with over 260 senior command officers fired under Obama, is because many in our military will not indiscriminately fire upon innocent American citizens who refuse to submit to gun confiscation. This fact is verified by former Navy Seal Benjamin Smith as he has clearly stated that the Obama administration has a new “litmus test” for officers in the U.S. military,which asks officers if they’ll command their troops to confiscate firearms from Americans.

More confirmation of this litmus test comes from ex-CIA agent, Dr. Jim Garrow. His account, listed below, is chilling, because it matches what I have been told by military personnel dating back to the Benghazi cover-up.

 

Many veterans HAVE spoken out about this.

Did you even skim the article in this thread?

“ATTENTION VIEWERS: PER FLINT POLICE OPERATIONS (FPO) THE US ARMY IS DOING TRAINING IN FLINT THIS WEEKEND AND YOU MAY HEAR HELCOPTERS, GUNFIRE, & EXPLOSIONS. PLEASE DO NOT BE ALARMED.”

They have steadily issued these warnings and descriptions of what the civilians should expect during these "exercises".

I'm not sure why you suddenly want to pretend otherwise.

CNN: "Abbott ordered the guard to "monitor" the eight week-long exercise which begins in July and ends in September, across seven states. In Texas, Utah and New Mexico most of the training will take place on private land. In Arizona, Florida, Louisiana and Mississippi, much of it will take place on military installations."

Because any training that isn't realistic is a waste of time and money,and accomplishes nothing.

Why do they insist they must conduct their training in proximity to civilians if civilians do not comprise any element of the exercise?

If they did it in secret far,far away from the gathering crowds,you would be bitching about "secret military operations training soldiers to take over America".

Nobody,including you,can have it both ways.

Do you EVER write about anything you know something about?

Prisoners of war HAVE A OBLIGATION TO ESCAPE. Once they do escape,it is legal under international law to shoot them on sightg.

And we ALL know how considerate the Nazi's were about human life,right? If there is one thing they and the Soviets were known for,it was their sense of humanity.

If someone were to magically take away your paranoia,you would no longer have a reason to live.

“The fact that they’re doing this on American soil outside of U.S. military bases is at least worthy of watching and asking some questions, because the military basically trains where it’s going to be doing missions,” she reasoned. “So if they’re training on civilian grounds, in communities in seven different states, then you have to wonder, what are they training for?”

That strategy was new in 1941. Ever hear of the OSS? Where do you think the people that started Special Forces came from?

Many veterans HAVE spoken out about this.

And many veterans don't know squat about warfare. Not even the ones that served in uniform during wartime. Just because someone wore a uniform,that doesn't mean they were ever in combat,or even close enough to it to hear distant explosions. Probably 90 percent of the US Army and the USMC never hear a shot fired their whole career that wasn't fired on a rifle range,and that figure jumps to damn near 100 percent when you are talking about the USAF,the USN,or the USCG.

Sounds like she is as clueless about the military as you are,but at least she has the excuse of being female.

Why don't YOU just man up,enlist in the Army or the MC,and volunteer for duty with the Rangers or Force Recon,and find out for yourself?

People with experience who DO know what they are talking about try to explain this stuff to you,but you are too arrogant and paranoid to listen,so enlist and find out for yourself,bucky!

You might have a valid point if the Special Forces infiltration was going on in Muslim strongholds like Dearbornistan.

What intel do they hope to gather by infiltrating American towns? Who the gun owners and dissidents are? Where the local milita is meeting?

The source is flawed. Yes Obolo has fired senior 4 and 3 star generals but not 260 senior commanders. I would like to see this source's source or list. I will know quite a few names on the list.

The terrain and the tactical problems presented by the terrain are different in Muslim neighborhoods than "regular,unleaded neighborhoods"

How so?

BTW,the people that benefit the most from this trainging are the conventional infantry and close infantry support units. Despite what you see in the movies,other than Delta Force,Special Forces soldiers are not combat assault troops. They are leaders and instructors. As such their role in these scenarios is always as the enemy the conventional forces are going up against.

It helps to sharpen the skills of both.
