Speaking of the exercise at the Brazos County Commissioners Court in Texas last month, Jade Helm Operations Planner and retired Green Beret Thomas Mead told an audience that the drill, which will run from July 15 to September 15, will now include the states Mississippi and Florida.
“The exercise is actually an eight-week exercise taking place across seven states,” Mead explains. “As you can see right there, it spans the whole southwest of the United States. We’ve also added Mississippi and we have a group also working out of Florida.”
“We’ll have Navy Seals that’ll be conducting targets and training down in the Mississippi area,” Mead also says.
The interagency, unconventional warfare exercise, lasting eight weeks, will utilize 1,200 special forces personnel from multiple branches of the US military, including Army Green Berets, Navy Seals, Marine Special Operations Command and the 82nd Airborne Division, according to a Powerpoint presentation regarding the exercise.
Operations Planner Francisco Oquendo Jr. also says “specific apparatuses” in the Brazos County area will be targeted for “surgical strikes” during a special extraction mission involving helicopters flying in from Louisiana.
A local Standard-Times report also lists “Louisiana” as one of the participating states. The exercise serves to hone troops’ advanced skills in “large areas of undeveloped land with low population densities,” and will allow them to work alongside “civilians to gain their trust and an understanding of the issues.” (That statement does NOT compute – these drills are being held in HIGH POPULATION AREAS – HOW DOES THAT FIT WITH ‘LOW POPULATION DENSITIES???) “This allows our soldiers to get a better training environment,” Mead said in an interview with news outlet MySouTex.com last year. (Most if not all of the troops have already been in Ukraine, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, and other locations in service. Why DO THEY NEED TO PERFORM THESE ‘DRILLS’ ON US SOIL AMONGST THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, SCARING THE SHIT OUT OF THEM AND GOD ONLY KNOWS WHAT ABUSES – KIDNAPPING PEOPLE WHO WILL NEVER BE SEEN AGAIN? REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED WITH KATRINA AND SANDY HOOK!)
“We’re getting these guys back into the woods,” said Mead. “We’re getting them back into the field to make it hard for them.” (‘Woods’? ‘Fields’? On asphalt pavement, concrete??? In subdivisions, on major highways and smaller roads in neighborhoods? Busting in to home and businesses and schools? Primarily from 11 PM through 1 AM for two months?) Additionally, two states – Texas and Utah – appear highlighted as “hostile” territory, according to the slideshow, leading to fears that traditionally conservative areas may be a simulated target for future domestic operations. The U.S. Army has even built a mock American city in Virginia, complete with subway carriages carrying the exact same logo as those seen in Washington DC, to practice occupying urban areas. (This is their ‘normal’ drill type environment, not domestic homes, offices, highways, etc., terrifying people at all hours with Hueys hovering overhead, paratroopers dropping on their roof tops and in their yards, busting doors down at 2 to 4 am, etc.) U.S. Army Special Operations Command spokesman Lt. Col. Mark Lastoria has attempted to tamp down concerns over the drills, claiming they are “Just a regular training exercise,” and adding that more information on the drills would be released later today. (Surely this man is a liar – these are NOT ‘NORMAL” or anywhere near ‘normal.”) Although similar drills have been carried out domestically in the past, such exercises are increasingly being conducted among civilian populations, suggesting an attempt to acclimate and condition the public to a persistent military presence. (HOW ABOUT A MAJOR FALSE FLAG TO BRING IN MARTIAL LAW TO AMERICA? THIS IS THE DIRECTION THEY ARE PREPARING FOR. ARE YOU PREPARED?) In the past few years alone, the US Army has carried out numerous drills in American cities, with low flying “black helicopters” disturbing residents of Minnesota, buzzing residents of Dallas and frightening Miami residents with simulated gunfire. As domestic drills intensify in frequency, military scholars have begun publicly laying out scenarios in which troops would be used to target political groups such as the Tea Party. (The Tea Party is NOT a ‘terror’ organization – anything BUT that!!! They are admitting the TRUE PURPOSES FOR THESE DRILLS.)
A 2012 report from the Small Wars Journal entitled, “Full Spectrum Operations in the Homeland: A ‘Vision’ of the Future,” even conceptualizes “How the U.S. Military would crush a Tea Party rebellion.”
The increasing shift towards targeting domestic political movements should be troublesome not only to the American public, but to military personnel who have been labeled a major terror threat by the Department of Homeland Security as well. Although the vast majority of U.S. military members would undoubtedly reject orders to target their fellow Americans, incidents such as Hurricane Katrina – which saw law abiding citizens disarmed at gunpoint under a military gun confiscation directive – point to the growing need for vigilance against a domestic mission creep.
