Stars & Strips ^ | September 14, 2015 | Dan Lamothe

Posted on 09/15/2015 8:00:33 AM PDT by PeteB570

The military exercise Jade Helm 15 generated enough conspiracy theories this year that it garnered mockery on late-night television, commentary from presidential candidates and reaction from the Texas governor.

For all you FReepers who have been foaming at the mouth and shouting down all the folks who have been saying "Relax, it's just an FTX". Well, it's over and you're not in a concentration camp.

lol. I didn’t even know they were going on. I heard something months ago but completely forgot. So glad it ended up being nothing which I think most Americans know it was going to be nothing. Outrage is the “in thing” now a days.

So. I guess we’ll all be treated to the Post-Op lessons learned from Jade Helm Command, then. When can we expect to get a copy of the PowerPoint presentation?

Can you post just one example - one link - to someone claiming that this exercise would lead to us being placed in concentration camps?

This was an exercise. This was training. This was practice.

If you think there will never be a perfect storm, never be Martial Law, never be a time when the lights go out and the EBT cards stop working, then please. Go find a big pile of sand.

And bury your head.

I heard that this was an attempt to test artificial intelligence commanding troop movements.

If the Army was 10 times its size it couldn’t institute nationwide martial law. I could barely hold the major cities.

“Well, it’s over and you’re not in a concentration camp. “

Really?? The past 8 years under Klownie the Kenyan didn;t seem like concentration camp time to you?

I still have faith that 90%, if not more, of the military would not back martial law for the reason Barry would do it.

Perhaps not a physical concentration camp, but surely an electronic version to be sure.

Very few thought...oh my gosh, there coming, there coming.

Most logical folks knew it was an exercise to test response, gather and test intelligence.

Who knows, but one thing is for certain...Americans don't TRUST their gubbamint.

It’s one of the reasons I have to take regular breaks from Alex Jones. Innocuous things get a bit too pumped-up only to turn into nothing.

Well, Central Texas had 100+ temps with a hellish drought throughout this summer, and an uncommon number of copperheads and rattle snakes, hatched during our very wet spring. Not a really welcoming place to be.

There is an area in the United States where rattlesnakes have stopped rattling (warning) people who approach them because they've evolved to expect to be killed when they warn those who approach.

Believe it or not?

It can’t be over! martial law hasn’t been declared yet and nobody’s rounded me up and forced me to live in a closed down wal-Mart. This is all guaranteed to happen, Alex jones says so.

The fear expressed by the public merely reflects deserved loathing that has developed toward our once respected Government. We are now being led by people who do not even belong to our Western Society.
