It’s official: the much-scrutinized military exercise known as Jade Helm 15 is kicking off this week. While concerns about the training exercise were shrugged off as a “conspiracy theory,” the military and now mainstream media are openly acknowledging the drills. Most telling of all is that the military is barring media access and coverage of the controversial Special Operations exercise. It is clear that many conspiracy theories about the training exercise were bizarre, to say the least. The United States government is not “taking over”, they already “took” over. There’s no need to “invade” Texas, the government already controls it. But while there were plenty of rumors and conspiracy theories about Jade Helm these have apparently been generated in large part by the unusual secrecy surrounding the exercise. A military spokesman even told the Washington Post that they will not be allowed to observe Jade Helm exercises, or report on them, in any way. Still, there are a plethora of social media users who see the words “Jade Helm” in the title of an article and then start talking about how any critical concerns about the exercises are tantamount to “tin foil hats”. But the Internet is replete with fallacious argumentation, and the government seems to count on the action-reaction of these types, interplaying and debating with those who jump to the most outrageous conclusions, to cooperatively create an informational smokescreen for whatever it is that the military is trying to hide. The Washington Post reports that “Embedded reporters won’t be permitted at any point during the exercise, in which military officials say that secretive Special Operations troops will maneuver through private and publicly owned land in several southern states. Lt. Col. Mark Lastoria, a spokesman for Army Special Operations Command, said his organization is considering allowing a small number of journalists to view selected portions of the exercise later this summer, but nothing is finalized.” In a statement to the media, Lastoria said Wednesday that “all requests from the media for interviews and coverage of U.S. Army Special Operations Command personnel, organizations and events are assessed for feasibility and granted when and where possible. We are dedicated to communicating with the public,” he added, “while balancing that against the application of operations security and other factors. Jade Helm will be conducted in the U.S. Southwest from July 15 through September 15. It will see more than 1,200 troops flooding these areas for reasons we cannot verify at this time. For some reason this does not concern a lot of people. But there are many reasons why it should that might have nothing at all to do with a “government take over.” Such reasons could include but are not limited to concerns about invasions from the southern border. CNBC reported that Chechnya has threatened to arm Mexico against the US and that there has been international debate over the legal status of US “ownership” of states like California, New Mexico, Arixona, Nevada, Utah, Colorado and Wyoming. It is interesting that this is the precise region that the military is being sent to for training. One need not assume that the goal of such an endeavor is “martial law,” but that might not be mutually exclusive with concerns about the southern border. Alternatively, we have a situation were thousands of Mexican undocumented families have been locked up in family detention centers in these same border regions. They have no pending court dates, they are just being kept there indefinitely. That includes children. Concerns about Jade Helm could include worries about what the government might plan in terms of action against undocumented Mexicans trying to cross the border, or who have already crossed. Again, these latter concerns need not be seen as mutually exclusive with the aforementioned ones about the recent claims from the Russian satellite arming Mexico against the US. Whatever the true aims of Jade Helm are, they should be open to critical inquire and scrutiny, not ridicule. The fact that they are being shrugged off as a “conspiracy theory” when both the military and mainstream media acknowledge the bizarre nature of the months-long drills makes the exercise all the more suspicious to many investigators. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has called for the Texas State Guard to monitor the exercise. Concerns are not without cause. The military has previously granted access to Special Operations like this in the past. One journalist who observed the exercise Robin Sage in North Carolina, wrote about it for the magazine Our State. There was little fuss over granting this access to them or any other journalist. The Washington Post reports that “The media also has been granted access to Special Operations forces overseas for occasional media reports and books, including the 2011 book ‘The Wrong War,’ by Bing West, and the 2013 work ‘One Hundred Victories,’ by Linda Robinson.” So why note in the case of Jade Helm? If you don’t think that question deserves an answer, then you probably don’t ask too many critical questions in the first place.

Jade Helm paranoid delusions.
You're pretty paranoid about citizens keeping an eye on their government. You trust Big Brother totally?
Chyeah. Almost as delusional as believing there's anything left in your Greek Bank account.
The fact that they are being shrugged off as a “conspiracy theory” when both the military and mainstream media acknowledge the bizarre nature of the months-long drills makes the exercise all the more suspicious to many investigators. Worth repeating. OVER AND OVER till it sinks in.
No, you actually think Jade Helm is some sort of NWO thing - that's two different things.
Chyeah. Almost as delusional as believing there's anything left in your Greek Bank account. So you believe in these conspiracies? Black Helicopters? Georgia Guidestones (or whatever they are called), Chemtrails? Jesse Ventura level of paranoia?
This Jade 15 exercise isn't a "conspiracy"; It's open, and it's real.What part of "real" aren't you getting? Chemtrails? Ok, I can see you're having problems focusing. Are the closings of Greek Banks and depositors' lack of access to their own money a "conspiracy"? Or real? Is there a "conspiracy" to own Greek institutions and land as collateral in lieu of Greece's defaulting on the payments to the EU?
So if you hate fear America so much, why don't you become an armed guerrilla?
Do you or don't you believe in a 'New World Order' -- the collusion of globalist elites to create a One World Government, and along with it, an obliteration of national sovereignty? This Jade Helm 15 "sort of thing" is unprecedented. On several levels. The least of which is the pseudo-secrecy, as well as the fact that ONLY southern "evil-Confederate" states have been chosen for such an exercise, clearly one of "war-games" intimidation. Why aren't these drills conducted in Baltimore, Detroit, and Chicago? Boston, Cleveland, and San Diego? Only the most naive or out-of-touch people believe this is a benign, required, or beneficiary exercise in the name of "national security." Now if such an exercise IS required, what *would* make sense is a border-enforcement exercise. This report of the restriction of reporting from the Com-Symp media wing reeks of playing further psyop head-games from thisrogue Leftist-hijacked gubmint.
I didn't get an answer from you: Are the closings of Greek Banks and depositors' lack of access to their own money a "conspiracy"? Or real? Is there a "conspiracy" to own Greek institutions and land as collateral in lieu of Greece's defaulting on the payments to the EU? So if you hate fear America so much, why don't you become an armed guerrilla? Which reminds me -- with your precious Greece being embarrassed in front of the entire world, getting sodomized by their EU masters, why isn't *your* sorry azz over in Europe, "defending Greece's 'honor'"??
Okay everyone, brace yourself.
No need for any armed guerrilla here, Texas governor calls Obama a liar and has Texas National Guard monitoring Jade Helm.
I don't have any Greek bank accounts so I assume your point is moot. Now tell me again about evil American soldiers out to kill you....
Yes there are black helicopters, do you think they're all pink with purple polka dots or what? Maybe all the photos and movies of the Georgia Guidestones are fake, huh? Where are you, the Twilight Zone?
Jade Helm 2 Timothy 3:13King James Version (KJV) 13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
A lot of people are in denial. Slam dunk vid and testimony of those elites who've openly told us their intentions...and STILL the disbelief or indifference from the pods is hard to understand. Maybe they've just surrendered to the adage, "What will be will be." It's much easier to accept than fighting this evil world and the inevitable.
A lot of people are in denial. I have been hearing and reading about these conspiracies since the 80s and some pre-date those into the 1950s. How much more longer before the shape changing lizards take over?
You really ARE a certifiable idiot, aren't you? The monumental degree of denial and Oz-like hope you display and defense of the indefensible is truly a spectacle. As a "True Believer" of a "benevolent gubmint" I guess the gubmint aiding and abetting of the 40 million implanted illegal invaders, the wreckage of America itself, as well thousands of rape, violence and murder are also just "exaggeration, suspiciousness, and conspiratorial fantasy"? I dunno what you're smoking, but Cheech and Chong want their Mexican stash back.
HEY! I hear there's some weird "conspiracy" that Greece is dead broke and its bank doors are closed :-( What CT nuts!
Your “new world order” scare started back when H.G. Wells used it as the title of a book when he wrote about a socialist, unified, one-world government. What has actually happened in 75 years that causes you undue alarm about some imaginary international governing body trumping the U.S. sovereignty? Nothing, right? You conspiracy theorists freaks have latched on to the phrase and made it a mythical concerned that powerful financial or government figures are secretly plotting to take over and rule the world. You conspiracy theorist nuts have so many overlapping and even conflicting theories about the very nature of the “new world” order that it is impossible for any of you to keep them in order. All you have is speculation, with a total overabundance of that. You CT freaks are the ones definitely in the “Twilight Zone.”
What has actually happened in 75 years that causes you undue alarm about some imaginary international governing body trumping the U.S. sovereignty? Most of the US manufacturing has been shipped off to China, etc, including the jobs. Most of the goods on store shelves are made in China or other foreign countries. Gatlin says: Nothing to see here, MOVE ALONG!
Nah, Gatlin says: You drag your lazy ass right back here, sonny, and continue discussing the subject of “new world order.” You brought it up in your Post #15. There are roughly 5.1 million fewer American manufacturing jobs now than at the start of 2001 and China is to blame for more than one-third of that loss. Specifically state how a “new world order” caused this loss. Even better, prove the lost was not a result of currency manipulation by the China when they keep its currency artificially low…..coupled with totally inept leadership in America. No, junior, a “new world order” was not responsible for the loss of manufacturing jobs in the American….but, Donald Trump can bring them back after he is elected.
The NWO was brought to the forefront 75 years ago. During all the long period of time, please state the 10 most terrible grievances caused by the NWO. I know that you are really busy, so take you time and think about it.
During all the long period of time, please state the 10 most terrible grievances caused by the NWO. I know that you are really busy, so take you time and think about it. If you can;t name 10 of the most terrible grievances caused by the the NWO, can you at least state the 8?
Although I can not answer for hondo, may I honour your questions with realistic answers?
You might make tater's head explode, so be careful.
Atta Boy! Clueless - utterly clueless. In a Cop Culture, the Bill of Rights Doesn’t Amount to Much Gilligan, we already know you didn't watch/listen to the 3-minute long video posted by Hondo, because such testimony of the phrase "New World Order" was spoken from THE lips of the most "powerful financial or government figures" on the planet. This worldwide collusion of a One World Government headed by the elites is an OPEN "secret". It's so quaint that you're still living in the 1980s (or is it the 1950s??) MEMO: Reagan is no longer President. So go ahead; Keep on hugging your teddy bear; keep on writing letters to Santa at the North Pole; keep kneeling before a shredded US Constitution....but especially keep on saluting US Presidents and Congressmen whose Job #1 has been protecting...er, oh wait -- SABOTAGING US Sovereignty in broad daylight. "There's nothing to see, keep on moving along" works only if you've been locked up in a time warp. Or happen to keep on seeing the world thru the prism of a child. ONLY IF you've been lobotomized or institutionalized, have you an excuse for you monumental ignorance.
There seems to be a Cult of Cluelessness still clinging to the fairy tale of a gubmint and America...that no longer exists. It's a psychological defense mechanism I supposed.
During all the long period of time, please state the 10 most terrible grievances caused by the NWO. Do you actually find people who agree with your position? Look, I realize you're serious about your own cluelessness as to the damage inflicted upon America by the domestic traitors whose loyalty is to the captains and elite of New World Order agenda. However I'm afraid the degree of your denial makes futile "proving" ANY points to you; This process is much the same as "proving" to liberals and the Left that their cult's dastardly practices and deeds are actually DESTROYING America. Suspended disbelief, hallucinatory fantasy, wishful thinking, il-logic, and willful ignorance works only if you're in the Land of Oz.
tater is a loser. it was evident when he hooked upped with yukon years ago.
It's so quaint that you're still living in the 1980s (or is it the 1950s??) Tater was brainwashed by the best.
