Military Drill Identifying “Hostile” U.S. States Sparks Alarm
The New American ^ | March 27, 2015 | Alex Newman

Posted on 03/27/2015 5:10:14 PM PDT by detective

A massive U.S. military drill dubbed “Jade Helm 15” lists Texas, Utah, and part of California as “hostile” or “insurgent pocket” territory. The unclassified information about this drill is causing widespread alarm nationwide, with more than a few analysts suggesting it may be some sort of exercise practicing to impose martial law on Americans fed up with an out-of-control federal government. During the exercises, which will take place over the summer, Special Forces from various branches of the military will work with local law-enforcement in scenarios that, to critics at least, sound suspiciously like they are aimed at subduing rebellious American civilians and states amid a civil war or large-scale unrest. The federal government issued a response dismissing the concerns and saying that the training is to help U.S. forces prepare for overseas missions, but not everyone is convinced.

The most alarming components of the drills highlighted by concerned citizens and media commentators surround an unclassified presentation about Jade Helm 15’s “realistic military training” that was apparently leaked. In a graphic showing the territory across which the training will take place — essentially the American Southwest — different states are colored based on the fictional status of their loyalty to Washington. Colorado, Nevada, and most of California, for example, are dark blue, indicating that they are “permissive.” Utah and Texas are both shaded red, indicating that they are “hostile.” Southern California is also red, with a note reading “insurgent pocket.” Arizona is light blue, which in the legend is listed as “uncertain (leaning friendly),” while New Mexico is brown, or “uncertain (leaning hostile).” Two more states, Florida and Louisiana, have reportedly been added to the exercise

Barry will step down ONLY if the next president is of the sort who will continue to cover-up his crimes (Hillary & Warren are two examples). Otherwise, he’s not going anywhere.

“Why is the military conducting a drill to infiltrate U.S. states and apply what sounds like marshal law?”

Take your pick:

1. Barky wants to be Presidente for life
2. Full on economic collapse coming
3. They are coming for the guns

Could it be that the military is preparing for the coup?

I’m so proud to reside in a “hostile” state, where all the lake water has “high iron content.”

Guess there was a reason the Founders wanted to allow for a standing NAVY and not an Army or any national land-based standing forces.........ya,ya, I know, things are DIFFERENT with modern times and all.

I guess it’s good they practice. That way when it happens, the majority of troops who abandon their posts can tell us the plans.

I thought 0bama’s preference was to kill people via drone, or to hire the real bada$$es of the world that he has on speedial to do these things.

Our military wear skirts if they’re men. Or makeup in all the latest colors. And, you otta see the women. What pecs! Why, the women can carry a full pack and a 200 lb man a 1/2 mile. Uphill.

Fight? Go to war? You mean, like we’re doing with ISIS?

Yeah.

Sincere apologies to our members of the actual US military, excepting the FOBBITs.

You don’t think Nidal Hasan is alone in the military, do you? Or that the MB only has free reign in the WH?

Did you notice that one of the areas they plan to “operate” in is Bryan, Texas, where there was a recent meeting of secessionists that was interrupted by the Feds and local police. Yeah that was the trigger for this event.

Silly rabbit!

Posse comitatus only applied to Bush wanting to help with Katrina-having Nat. Guard troops, ice and food on the LA border. But, yea, Lady Hillary of on hi went unto the female governor with letters and greetings sent by the Democrats of Perdition, and so did the governor refuse said assistance. For it is said, what meriteth a great, Democrat power when it feedeth not on the 3,000 lowly people of the Gulf?

Color me crazy yet if someone’s goal is to cause sufficient chaos to affect future elections AND race mongering is not having the desired effect then they might try something new. What would make more sense than goading the right into distrusting the military, perpetuate the “martial law” rumor and have some take the bait starting some action against a federal armed entity. The result is the same, chaos, yet with a different trigger. I for one still believe our military will do the right thing when faced with illegal and unconstitutional orders from above.

Regards.

They've been doing it for years. This is the Louisiana Maneuvers 1940-41:
