This is for Operation Jade Helm 15
Involving as many as 10 states, the operation reportedly identifies several hostile areas around the United States, including Texas and Utah and aims to have the military prepared to “master the human domain” by utilizing citizen reports and surveillance to accomplish their mission. In other words, as Dave Hodges recently noted, they want to engender trust in order to control “the totality of the physical, cultural, and social environments that influence human behavior.”

8 weeks of real time exercises in how to overcome civilian resistance.
What's to worry?

It's not like they would have any need to overcome civilian resistance. 5 Wal-marts announced that they were closing for 6 months due to plumbing issues. Interestingly enough, they were in Texas, Oklahoma and Florida.

I'm not into conspiracy theories, but occasionally, there are things that make me go, "Hmm."

Here's the thing - every seven years, historically we have had a huge financial crash. The market is soaring right now, and this exercise was first implemented in 2006. What happened in 2008?

What kind of exercises does this include planning for? LSE Event in Utah.

Adding up the numbers, this causes mild concern for me because of the history. I think it's worth watching. I'm not implying anything, but those that don't pay attention to history are doomed to see it repeated.
