So which kind?

Also i am pretty sure our government is very much in the habit of throwing the baby out with the bath water.

It seems to me to be a great way to get local reports before the world's mainstream media gets their hands on "official" Pentagon news releases.

Something to consider joining....


I thought they weren't letting anyone (like the media) know what is going on. How are these people getting the info when media can't?

Ever read about COINTELPRO? The FBI even owned up to that program. You can go read about it at fbi.gov right now.

And, the CIA owned up to a lot of dangerous s**t during the U.S. Senate Church Committee ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_Committee ) hearings of the 1970s. In the late 1970s, the U.S. Senate Inouye Committee ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_MKUltra ) looked more deeply into the CIA MKUltra project after 20,000 documents were released during a Freedom of Information Act request.
The question we must ask ourselves is: Do we trust that the CIA really did abandon this research and related activities when it promised it would? Of course, not. The federal government and its CIA never mothballs anything.


None of this proves Operation Jade Helm 15 is a malevolent conspiracy. What this and stuff like Operations Northwoods show is that the that idea that Operation Jade Helm 15 is a malevolent conspiracy is a plausible one and that the common view that people who are fearful of Operation Jade Helm 15 or 9/11 truthers for that matter are lunatics completely divorced from reality is false (Of course there are lunatics completely divorced from reality within these groups as with any group of people)

Example: saturn V program. All of it was destroyed.

Out at TOCDF there was a program working on an explosive method of destroying chemical munitions that include a rocket or explosive that was not designed to be disassembled.

Tens of millions were invested for over a decade. They were never able to systemize it. The other team figured out how to cut those munitions open like a can opener, safely. They kept working on the explosive option until all of those munitions were destroyed.

And the whole thing is expected to be disassembled, destroyed, forgotten.

what about the time that 12Bn$ got sent to Baghdad and the guys in charge of it pretty much shrugged after most of it vanished. does this count as a costly project?

The CounterJadeHelm.info web site provides a way for citizens themselves to report sighting of Jade Helm 15 activities. Remember that one of the primary goals of JH15 is to conduct its activities without being noticed by the public. This site will be a searchable repository of citizen reports as they are published in real time. The site is exactly what the JH15 coordinators would loathe. Ironically, it is entirely legal to do. But, you won't find a mainstream-media new reporter anywhere near the exercise. "Nothing to see here, Walter!"

I personally think that JH15 was inspired in part by events in Iraq and Afghanistan. Soldiers were walking in crowded areas in full camo fatigues and carrying M16's, driving around Sadr City in military Humvees, and they were pretty much sitting ducks. The rebels would bury explosives in potholes, wait for some Yanks to drive by, then press a button, and kaboom went the Americans. Soldiers were walking through crowded bazaars, and among the "civilians" would be rebels, and a rebel would sneak up to a Yank and blow half his head off with a concealed 9mm.

Stuff like this is why up to 75% of soldiers who served in the Sandbox have severe PTSD, they are totally fried from non-combat combat, from not knowing who is friend and who is foe. They come home and they are forever in "Iraq Mode" and are moving to the desert and setting up stockades with barbed wire and AK's, their very own Green Zone.

No, the Army isn't about to institute martial law. Texas and Utah have large flat desert areas, and very mountainous areas, sort of like Iraq and Afghanistan respectively. That moron Rumsfeld had our guys roaring into Baghdad and trying to win over hearts and minds while being an army too. Didn't work. Our guys didn't know zip about culture, language, ANYTHING. They didn't know how to signal for a car to stop at a checkpoint, basics like that. Nobody knew Arabic. Nobody knew anything about Islam.

Rumsfeld thought that shock and awe would simply steamroller the place. I for one am happy that DoD is finally taking asymmetrical warfare seriously after Rummy's "dead-enders" talk dismissing the threat posed by Iraqis. And if the militias are watching them, great, because that's what will happen in the next war, civilian groups of questionable loyalties will be on the lookout for Americans.

I went on that website you are talking about. I don't know what to make of it yet because there are no posts yet, but I'm open to finding out what it's about. Should be interesting.

That is a sensible and plausible explanation. Thank you. I'm going with this rather than "they are about to institute martial law".

Oh Poe

I can't tell if he's mocking the conspiracy theorists or honestly is one. "Black tarp on chain link fences!" "Knight's Transportation? Doesn't that make you think of Knight's Templar?"

Whether he's doing The Onion style mock reporting or really means it, it's hilarious either way.

Here's some sober reporting of the exact same thing but from the venerable New York Times, which has no time for jokes.

http://www.nytimes.com/2015/07/16/us/in-texas-a-military-exercise-is-met-by-some-with-suspicion.html?_r=0

Quote:
The level of realism sought by Army planners, and uncertainty about whether troops will try to blend in with civilians during the exercise, have heightened the curiosity and unease among some Texans. The military has told local officials that fire extinguishers will be at each training site and that some personnel may carry weapons loaded with blank ammunition or paintball-style training cartridges. According to a PowerPoint presentation prepared by military organizers for Texas officials, some Jade Helm 15 participants “may conduct suspicious activities” as part of their training and others “will be wearing civilian attire and driving civilian vehicles.”


So yea, black tarps on chain link fence and vans full of stuff being hauled by Knight's Transportation would be a part setting things up.

Cameras are better than weapons. Disclosure is better than secrecy. Free speech and public awareness is better than "Master(ing) the Human Domain" militarily.

I believe that it is possible he was being overly sarcastic for the sake of teasing those who denied such a military exercise would effect communities at all. Unless he staged (or CG'ed) the materiel that he was describing at a Sam's Club parking lot, it is clear that the exercise is, indeed using private property for staging and various other activities. I, for one, didn't volunteer for this. Apart from reporting SALUTES ( http://www.counterjadehelm.info/ ), I will avoid any private land or business which sells out to this desensitization program. I suspect also that my patronage will never return.
