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

He plans on staying on as dictator and he will cause chaos in order to achieve his goals for the post-american world. We won’t have a constitution and what used to be our country will be given a new name....like Husseinistan or Barackia.

Because it’s what they actually have to fight when overseas?

Where else will they train over huge distances as in Iraq or Afghanistan? I guess they could train in Uruguay and Paraguay, but I’ll bet they will surprise the locals.

I find this hyperventilating over exercises extremely odd.

I thought the lumping together of TX, UT and southern CA particularly neat. Not areas you often think of as having a lot in common.

Holding such exercises in the West and Southwest are for the fairly obvious reasons that there is a lot of empty country and the terrain and weather have a lot in common with areas the troops are likely to find themselves fighting in.

Should we hold military exercises on Manhattan?

Just finished a book about the maneuvers. Quite interesting. We were very lucky that in 1940 we didn’t share a border with Germany. Our army was not ready for prime time.

Again, again and yet again, Americans who care ask “Congress, where are you?”

Is the only thing that will change the direction of this now pitiful nation a benevolent despot like Francisco Franco? These creatures now ruling and ruining our lives and our nation are our enemies. While our central socialist government is beating us into submission our many enemies will be blowing parts of America into smithereens.

Local law enforcement has relation to overseas missions on what planet?

Hey I’m offended. My state wasn’t included as hostile. Holder even sent a threatening letter to our AG when we told the Feds to stay out of our gun business. What do you have to do to get noticed.
