“It’s Just a Training Exercise”: Special Ops Shoot Down Jade Helm Conspiracy Theories

The Special Operations Command for the U.S. Army may be preparing to blend in during its mock engagement of hostile populations in the U.S. Southwest this summer, but first it is going on the offense to counter the claims of “conspiracy theorists” about the true nature of the controversial Jade Helm 15 exercises.

The Army Times reported:

U.S. Army Special Operations Command says that, contrary to reports circulating on conspiracy websites, it has no plans to invade Texas.

Some fringe websites have paraded a PowerPoint presentation, reportedly from USASOC, as evidence of Jade Helm 15, a series of military exercises across California, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, Colorado and Texas. They say it will train the U.S. military to suppress American citizens rebelling in a coming military coup or civil war.

“It’s a training exercise. Just a regular training exercise,” Lastoria said of Jade Helm, which USASOC documentation references as a training exercise in at least one previous year as well.

[...]

The article singled out reports from Infowars and All News PipeLine, among others stressing concern about the preparations for martial law:

Conspiracy websites painted language regarding civilian impact as revealing of the true nature of the mission: to prepare for abducting dissidents from their homes.

Many of the conspiracy sites have focused in on the selection of Texas as a “hostile” territory. To them, a high degree of libertarian support, pro-gun leanings and patriotism make Texas a target. The slides also mark Utah and a pocket in Southern California as “hostile,” while New Mexico is “uncertain (leaning hostile)” and Arizona is “uncertain (leaning friendly).”

The presentation slides say the area was chosen for its large undeveloped tracts of land and low population density. Texas in particular was chosen as the hub of the operation because it has been traditionally military-friendly, easing the impact or alarm the forces’ presence might impose on localities, according to the slides.

Though disputing any ill intent, the Army Times admits that the Jade Helm drill is real, and that soldiers have trained for the approach before.

In an apparent predecessor to the drill, officers wrote on the need to project military operations and occupation efforts into the “human domain,” in order to engage the social, political and economic spheres seen as critical for mission success.

It is a technological continuation of the double-edged philosophy of the Pentagon and White House to “win over hearts and minds” over the course of the flawed Vietnam War, a term known in more technical terms as pacification of the population.

It’s focus on mapping the “Human Terrain” – using the expertise and techniques of anthropology – lends credence to the idea that the military are “rehearsing” scenarios concerning how to deal with independent-minded and anti-establishment people living inside Texas and Utah, the “hostile” states identified in the Jade Helm drill. On the human domain:

“What we know and project about the future operating environment tells us that the significance of the ‘human domain’ in future conflict is growing, not diminished,” the service leaders wrote.

One controversial tool to aid in the collection, processing and analysis of information in regards to the human domain has been the US Human Terrain System (HTS) in which social scientists, primarily anthropologists, have been utilised to conduct research and provide analysis to military commanders in support of the military’s operations [...] At the height of the programme there were 30 HTS teams in Afghanistan and despite the challenges of the programme, it was widely viewed as providing value [...] .

Currently tools such as PMESII (Political, Military, Economic, Societal, Infrastructure, Information)[xxxiv] through to the excel spreadsheet in the British issued human terrain packs can provide valuable tools to begin the collection and processing of human domain information

In short, it utilizes the psyop to persuade the population with co-opted leaders and copious amounts of propaganda and more subtle means of compliance and coercion.

While watchful Americans shudder at the possibilities suggested by these training exercises, those who have been involved in these ‘humanitarian’ occupation campaigns throughout the convoluted and dragged out Aghanistan war have pointed to its profound failures:

“The use of short-term aid and relief programmes as part of counter-insurgency has been ineffectual, and that, in places
such as Afghanistan, it may even have undermined the overall military goal of defeating insurgents.”

After all, the tactic – as its cries of peace play against a backdrop of a military invasion – are as chilling and empty as the words of a Martian visitor repeating “We come in peace” before attacking a stunned and off guard opponent.

What history does teach us it is good for, however, is dealing with dissidents and stifling opposition.

Many of the conspiracy theorists watching the events so closely have suggested that Jade Helm-type exercises are the perfect pretexts for “red list” operations.

Meanwhile, someone caught footage of a drill in Florida wherein military personnel roundup up citizen role-players and loaded them into vans for rendition:

Photos from an exercise in Connecticut suggest similar urban warfare training with specialized units going house-to-house.

What are they really training for?

Stay vigilant and stay vocal in calling out the unpatriotic use of forces for domestic control.

  • They HID the only truth of their entire story about jade helm and here it is “train the U.S. military to suppress American citizens” it’s in their statement above, buried within their propaganda!

    • I thought that was the “conspiracy websites’” statement.

      No matter. They are training for snatch missions, by their own account. “Extraction,” they called it.

      Death squads, in other words.

      If the soldiers themselves are fooled by the propaganda, they are the only ones.

  • It is unconstitutional Sir, an act of treason, an act of war against the We the People. No excuses Sir. You’re dismissed!

  • Its like this They are training for SOMETHING, everyone is WATCHING and seeing how it’s done then everyone will know how to counter it by watching.

  • “It’s just a drill”, a drill for what purpose! What exactly are you training for! A drill by the biggest terror in the world! The biggest war mongering country since WWII’s NAZI Germany, and Adolf Hitler! A country which is now in perpetual war with anyone and everyone! A country that spies on the entire world! Drops bombs and throws aside collateral damage (women and children)!

    Everything the United States of America (united around a Constitution, and the ideas it represents — no more) was not to be! It’s disgusting!

    You war mongers claim to be fighting for our freedoms and liberty, all the while the government (who sends you around the world to kill for multi-national corporations and bankers), mows over the Constitution, and tramples our rights, and laughs at our freedom and liberty! Freedom and liberty! What a joke! Exactly how do you have freedom and liberty, with millions and millions of laws controlling everything little thing you do (and that’s just at the federal level)! Even if you were back home, you would do nothing to protect our freedom and liberty! Go! Go and serve your masters! Go and kill! Kill! More kill! Never mind the collateral damage! The women and children! So long as you are safe, and make it back home!

    Now, how would you feel if a country did that to you, and your family! I can tell you, if it happened here, and to my family and I, there would be no end to the killing I would do! I would never forgive you! And that’s the future you fight for!

    If U.S. wars are so noble, then why aren’t you fighting the real tyrants of the world who kill their own people, and are currently purging Christians everywhere they find them! Why! Because, you are fighting for money! And the money sends you where you go! And the money tells you who to kill! You fight for the bankers, the billionaires, the multi-national corporations, the industrial war machine! You fight and die for them, and you’re to stupid to know it!

  • :eek: Just Sharing – THE HIGHEST #1 RANKING U.S. MILITARY COMMANDER INSIDE THE PENTAGON IS YOUR U.S. CITIZENS AND NATIONS TOP ENEMY; who is ORDERING and Allowing ALL the military below him these illegal orders JUST LIKE FEMA, Jade Helm! HIS NAME IS GENERAL MARTIN DEMPSEY and here is a short history of him. Now you have a name of who is actually performing all these military crimes on our soil, and to 1S1S; etc…:

    http://www.beforeitsnews.com/protests-demonstrations/2015/04/obamas-criminal-military-hammer-general-martin-e-dempsey-2455550.html

    Do not be fooled but doesn’t this ALL start at the single most #1 military Dishonorable Criminal Wearing the Uniform to Give HIS Orders this down to all his troops and to the entire Military? Also, HE WAS APPOINTED by your President himself for that Position, so now you know how easily your President can push around your military? Does he need to be removed as the #1 top commander, who is the very highest ranking military in uniform WHO HAS PROVEN TIME AND TIME AGAIN ON ORDERING ALL THESE ILLEGAL ORDERS for the last YEARS?! WAKE UP PEOPLE and THINK WHO REALLY IS ORDERING ALL THESE ILLEGAL MILITARY PERSONNEL.
    , and now you know WHY! He and his other Pentagon criminal Generals and Admirals are all literally Sleeping with the Enemy in bed with 0bama and are the “KEY” to your Government control over you! Not ONE ACTION by the military can happen WITHOUT HIS DIRECT ORDER! Start spreading the truth on who really is ordering these Treasenus actions against our nation!

    Here is another story I found of great interest. Didn’t you ever wonder why none of these so called disgruntled US Generals and Admirals refuse to do one thing in their power and knowledge to stop this out of control government. They value bribe money more then honor and they refuse to get involved because the government would arrest them for all the dishonorable criminal orders/actions they did to their troops while wearing their uniform. Keep quiet or personally get exposed for the criminal actions each have taken that crossed their desks that were illegal.? Each sold their heart and soul to the devil, and now want to go to heaven, and play the innocent card to the citizens. :wink:

    Lastly, Here is a news story I found that tells everyone what to do once Martial Law starts. It made sense to me to stop the forces in each neighborhood from forming, thus giving your city back to its community. Too, anyone can do it any city from a 12 year old to 90 year old. Must read and pass this on like I did. You will be amazed how easy it will be to remove the Government control over you. Bless all of you…

    Just sharing the truth with all of you on the stories I came across…

    • Also, if the police or military come after our families, spouses and children, why then would their very family and children not recruited visited by the freedom loving citizens side? Like anyone, if you plan on harming a family, any father or family member will protect their children, so why not locate where these forces families are and talk with them to side with the citizens. Will they then drop their weapons once they see their loved ones on the freedom side or will stay being criminals against its very own nation?

  • Oh good . The Army Times says its ok. Whoopee.
