I'm sure by now most of us have heard of this in some form. For most of the sane folks on here, this is just a fair opportunity to laugh and mock conservatives. That one has to be pretty insane, dumb, and/or easily manipulated to believe the conspiracies that are flying around the internet.
Da Facts...
A few months ago the US Military (through the Pentagon) announced a series of military training exercises to help special forces units in operating in certain areas of the world. This is not unheard of as the military has often trained its people depending on the geographical and climate they will be deployed to. Jade Helm 15 is operating in a collection of states whose make up closely resemble other areas of the word. This will run from July to September of this year. Involving all four branches of the military. Most of it is special forces.
HOWEVER....
Conservatives have not seen it that way. Due to conservative media and propaganda machines running 24/7/365/10+, have filled their minds with half-truths and out right lies. They know conservatives as a mass make up 80-90% of 'The Low Information Voter' bracket in this nation. They are easily manipulated and fooled by these organizations and people they have been conditioned (for lack of a better word) to believe is true and accurate. Even when faced with the facts and evidences to the contrary on this and other issues, these Americans believe its lies and bullshit; the truth, as they say, is out there! Like President Obama outlawing Christianity and firearms with an executive order/privilege.....
A Lt. Col. Mark Lastoria was sent to one of the staging grounds for exercises in Bastop, TX. This individual met with towns folks and tried to explain clearly and precisely what is the nature of the operations. Afterward, answered questions 'town hall meeting' style. Lt. Col. Lastoria explains the scope of activities quite well. A third of the people speaking really had some good questions. They consisted of verification of military concepts unknown to most civilians. The remainder was just question after question of a people suffering from paranoid schizophrenia. Even as the gentleman explained reality a casual observer could tell the individual asking the question was not satisfied with the answer and didn't trust the person giving the answer.
This is the United States Military these people are questioning. Questioning these soldiers loyalty to this nation. Governor Abbott (Gov-R-TX) has to issue a letter stating the citizens of Texas were not questioning the loyalty of US service people. Again, any casual observer of all this would plainly see there is a HUGE amount of distrust going on. If there wasn't, why all the fuss?
This issue has forced not just each branch, or the Pentagon, but the Joint Chiefs to issue a formal letter stating this is just a training exercise and NOT a take over of Texas. The fear in Texas seems to be that this military exercise is a cover for the military to jump in, take over the state, declare martial law, take guns and bibles from citizens and force them into FEMA camps for re-education purposes just prior to a general election!. These people are 'a few clowns short of a full circus'!
If a bunch of special forces can defend all the open carrying gun nuts, the Texas National Guard, and all the law enforcement within just a month or two; I think its fair to say those jokers are in trouble if they tried to succeed the state from the US Government (which they cant legally speaking). Since the whole of the US Military would easily overwhelm Texas if it did.
But why would they do so? They already CONTROL THE FUCKING LAND!!!!!
Some of the conspiracy rants say this whole thing was created by President Obama. Its no surprise that these same folks harbor an intense dislike for the Commander-in-Chief and have been trying for years to undermine and discredit him. Even their elected officials like Tex Cruz and Gov. Abbott have tried a number of silly and stupid shit. We have had Chuck Norris get into the clown car! Just Google their names with 'Jade Helm 15' to watch the hilarity....
But this is nothing new for the US Military, these exercises. In fact its been going on since 1991. That would be the former George H. W. Bush administration. And what state is this gentleman from? The State of Texas! Similar exercises have been performed during Clinton and then G. H. W. Bush's son, George W. Bush. Why are conservatives so alarmed under about this exercise....NOW....under President Obama? Its the same one as G. H. W. Bush. And they didn't have any problems; in fact, they were in favor of it!
They don't trust their fellow Americans but demand unconditional trust from them! These folks just do not understand that trust is a two way street. In fact, some companies are considering moving their operations or even headquarters to states with more sane and intelligent people. They just don't want to be associated with a population that distrusts the United States Military and the people it makes up!
Ted Cruz on Jade Helm 15 Trying to milk it like George W. Bush milked 9/11 years ago. Preying upon conservatives fears and ignorance for political gain.
If in 18 Cruz holds an exercise in which Mass is declared to be hostile territory how secure will you feel?
