Jade Helm Begins: The Complete "Texas Takeover" Guide
Although you might have missed it, the federal government re-annexed Texas on Wednesday.
Jade Helm 15, a controversial set of military training exercises being conducted by the US Spec Ops Command in Texas, Utah, Nevada, California, Colorado, Arizona, and New Mexico kicked off this week and will last until September 15. The lead up to the drills has been a veritable media circus, thanks largely to an official US Army slide deck which contained the following rather unfortunate map in which Texas, Utah, and San Diego (which everyone knows is a traditional hotbed for Islamic insurgencies) were designated as "hostile" territories.
While it seemed clear to many observers that the use of the term “hostile” probably did not imply that the US military had abruptly decided to lump Texas in the same category as North Korea, Russia, Iran, and Syria, that message was lost in translation to many Texans and before long, rumors began to circulate in the Lone Star state that Washington was planning to institute martial law.
Efforts to diffuse the tension hit a snag when Texas governor Greg Abbott took the unusual (and, according to one Republican lawmaker, "idiotic") step of calling upon the Texas state guard to monitor the exercises. Peak absurdity came just days later when "Texas Ranger" Chuck Norris effectively pledged to defend the state against a federal invasion and sent a thinly-veiled threat to the Spec Ops command, saying the drills came "too near to [his] ranch’s backdoor."
Finally (because the whole fiasco definitely needed to be sensationalized further), The Washington Post declared that the media would be given limited access (at best) to Jade Helm 15, which doesn’t seem all that surprising on its face, but which the Post noted marked a change of policy compared to another, ostensibly similar training exercise conducted on the "battlefields" of North Carolina in 2013.
So here we are, one day into the Texas invasion and the Twitter response has been nothing short of epic. Here are some highlights:

Here's a map which shows the specific areas now under "federal control":
And here's an annotated version of the map shown above:
Of course not everyone is laughing. Here's The New York Times with some on-the-ground intelligence from vigilant (and concerned) Texans:
“I’ve been looking,” said Dr. Jack Campbell, 61, who was picking up his mail at the post office.
Scott Degenaer, outside his home in Christoval, Tex. Mr. Degenaer said he understood the paranoia over Jade Helm 15 that led some residents to bury their firearms.
Dr. Campbell said that he had concerns about the exercise, and that he purchased extra ammunition for the weapons he kept in his home. "Just in case," added Dr. Campbell, an emergency physician in San Angelo, Tex., 20 miles away. "People are just vigilant. Not vigilantes, but vigilant. They don’t want to be caught off guard."
Another resident said a friend of his, a Vietnam veteran, started burying some of his firearms to hide them. Members of the Christoval Volunteer Fire Department, which owns the community center, signed an agreement with military officials stating — oddly to some, suspiciously to others — that the Army would pay for any damage to the building after it used it.
Sindy Miller, who runs a hair salon on Main Street, said fear of a military takeover had been the talk of Christoval.
“They’re worried that they’re going to come in and take their firearms away," Ms. Miller said. "Martial law, basically. I try not to listen to all these conspiracy-theory-type people. All they’re worried about is their beer and their guns."
Residents and local officials — even those who are supportive of Jade Helm — said Army organizers exacerbated the paranoia by releasing few details about the operation and by putting realistic war game activities in civilian areas, no matter how remote. Army coordinators said in statements that they had kept the state and local authorities updated and informed. Governor Abbott will receive regular updates from the Texas State Guard as the exercise proceeds, but a spokesman for him said he had no concerns about it. “The Special Operations Command has assured Texas that this exercise poses no risk to anyone, and the governor sees no reason to worry or doubt them,” said the spokesman, John Wittman.
Mr. Degenaer, a Navy veteran, said that he saw a Black Hawk helicopter flying over Christoval on Sunday and that he understood why some people would bury firearms.
"With Obama being in there,” he said, “with the way he’s already stomped all over the Constitution, pushing his presidential authority to the max, it would only be just the stroke of a pen for him to do away with that. This man is just total anti-U. S."
Throughout the interview, Mr. Degenaer was skeptical whether the reporter and photographer who spoke with him were members of the news media and wondered if they were part of Jade Helm 15. "Spec Ops grows beards," he said, referring to the photographer’s facial hair. "Y’all got a military ID?"

And finally, a video recap courtesy of RT:
With that, you are now fully apprised of the situation in Texas. We'll certainly monitor the ongoing drills closely, but for now, we'll close with our comments from last week.
Whatever you choose to believe about the Jade Helm, it’s clear that the military is intent on keeping prying eyes away from the exercises. So although a "Texas takeover" and/or martial law are probably not in the cards here, the government's response to concerned (if misinformed) citizens leaves much to be desired and we’ll leave it to readers to decide what that says about government accountability and transparency.
And to the US Spec Ops Command we say this: just because you’ve kept the media out, doesn’t mean no one is watching…

"Posse Comitatus" violation and in violation of the Constitution, but what else is new with the people who have forgottten their primary oath?
Not to be confused with the rare dialect in Latin - 'Pussi Comeandtasteus'
Which is always good for a laugh back at the Roman Legion Armory.
"Posse Comitatus" was enacted due to the autrosities armies did during the Civil War. It was specifically setup to keep armies from policing and enforcing draconian laws on the civilian population.
"Glass Steagall Act" was enacted after the 1929 Stock Market Crash to keep the banks, robber barrons and gamblers under under control.
Don't worry I'm sure this will all turn out o.k. <sarc>
"Here in Texas, I have personally rolled down my window and given the finger to three armored convoys and flipped the bird on four Apache attack helicopters via my sunroof so far this week."
Impressive.
(Yawn)
As someone born and raised in Texas, I think it is difficult for outsiders to understand the mindset here. Texans, in general, maintain a fierce independent streak in their general philosophy regarding government. The Republic of Texas is a past that many are proud of, regardless of its challenges and failures.
Washington is viewed with a healthy dose of disdain and skepticism. Fighting hostile governments on our soil is a more recent affair than other states, and those lessons are taught in Texas history to our children.
Now there are obviously plenty of loons out there regarding Jade Helm being a government takeover. Jade Helm is an exercise, nothing more. The force levels are incredibly small for it to even be remotely looked at as some hostile takeover. It's not, and it is ludicrous to think so.
As an Army veteran though, I can say this exercise is completely abnormal in its scope and reach. The military performs localized training quite often. It's NOT uncommon for troops to train off-base in neighboring communities. For large scale training though the military has many sites, most notably the National Training Center, that can handle training on a large scale.
For an exercise to encompass an entire region of the country and take place predominantly on public land is not normal.
For this reason, and due to the release of the maps showing Hostile versus Friendly territory, it is easy to see why the response is so fragmented across the country. It doesn't help that the battle plan CLEARLY delineates hostile and friendly territory across Republican/Democrat political lines.
Something is happening behind the scenes to precipitate this exercise on this scale, and it's probably not good news. But the exercise itself is NOT some hostile invasion.
I will say that the obvious conclusion here based on the small number of operators is that this is largely an Intel training op and they are working on validating and testing new or existing Intel systems for identifying and assessing insurgent threats. If I had to guess, I would say this is what is happening.
Yes because the average American soldier on a training exercise is such a threat to you.
Truth is, they most likely have risked their lives believing they did so to protect you, and almost certainly they have the same conspiracy theorist/paranoid mindset that you do, and they undoubtedly have stashes of arms and spam in their prepper compound, just like you do.
Hilarious to see what assholes some people can be and be so stupid as to brag about it.
Yes because the average American soldier on a training exercise is such a threat to you.
They will do what they are told to do. Very few will risk the economic or military punishments for denying an order. They have families back home to feed that depend on them, most of their friends are military. I say this from experience: US Army veteran.
@HH
Bad bad boy. They have documented proof you are not "with them". There goes those fab diners. \
lol
Careful, they got a LOGO. That means it's serious.
FORWARD SOVIET!
Are they picking up any energon readings? That pic of the large truck definitely looks like one of those Decepticons that combines into a mega-Decepticon!!!
Tyler, again you've overstretched your knowledge outside your field of finance. I'm in the middle of Texas and a Vietnam vet. I know what the military does best. And it's nature is not peaceful. Learn true history before you overload your ass with your mouth.
First stop
Texas Bullion Depository
lol that's some funny stuff Tylers... thanks, I needed that, laughter is good for the soul...
I'm glad Texas was chosen as a hostile, heaven knows we're going out of our way to live up to the role... yee haw, bitchez
one other comment, most all y'all appear to be stark raving nuts about this Jade Helm stuff... there's some pretty screwball commentary in this thread, for certain...
Jade Helm = Zio Training Guidelines for the coming IDF invasion.
The youtube link below is a software engineer’s analysis of what is really behind the Jade Helm 15 military exercises that begin in the U.S. in a few days with the main target being Texas. Although I was aware of most of this information from other sources, I was not aware that the whole system was being run by very sophisticated artificial intelligence. All of the information that the government has been collecting on us has been fed into this system and it is being used to track down and eliminate insurgents. This is pretty scary stuff like from a sci-fi movie...but it’s real!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K4310XOz4tc
Silver stacker they are testing about 1000 autonomous AI units and they want to see if anyone spots them.Also all that they learn will be fed back to the jade AI for learnig .
Correct. They will be calibrating the AI software to the field condtions, including human responses.
I'd say it's part of the Wall St. vs. Main St. narrative. In this case, Tyler's looking to maintain some "Wall Street. cred."
For me, I recognize that both positions serve the divide and conquer narrative quite well.
Besides, there's still lots and lots and lots of banks left to capture before full martial law is implemented.
Just ask any Greek.
MSM pundits will mock anybody concerned about Jade Helm as crazy prepper outcasts. They'll also say they're bitter for riding PM's all the way down instead of B'ing TFD like "normal" patriotic 'Merkans. blah fuck fuck shit fuck FUCK
If by riding PMs all the way down, you mean buying more and more the cheaper it gets, I am all on board. I might spend 1200 now and I will not be at all upset if it hits 400 a year from now, can get three times more then. It's the unfortunate cost of being right in the end.
JADE II is ancient and hasn't been used in years. It's an old military logistics tool, not an AI wonder of the computing world.
As a matter of fact, JADE II sucked when it was brand new. It was the SUCK-enhanced version of JADE, which wasn't ever finished, if I recall. The entire program was designed to move tax dollars from my pocket to some general's brother-in-law's crappy software consulting outfit. It is most certainly not the intellegince fusion crap they're using for JADE HELM. That's a different brother-in-law's outift.
Because Jade Helm is so obviously intended to make YOU react and do something stupid.
They aren't goint to declare Marshall Law, they're going to push your buttons until you lose your shit then they'll perp walk you- not to a death camp Walmart- but to a jail cell. Playing one segment of society- the straights- against the crazy, gun toting hot headed anti govt. preppers. And it only works if you lose your cool.
Keep cooooool boyo.
Boy, boy, crazy boy,
Get cool, boy!
Got a rocket in your pocket,
Keep coolly cool, boy!
Don't get hot,
'Cause man, you got
Some high times ahead.
Take it slow and Daddy-O,
You can live it up and die in bed!
Boy, boy, crazy boy!
Stay loose, boy!
Breeze it, buzz it, easy does it.
Turn off the juice, boy!
Go man, go,
But not like a yo-yo schoolboy.
Just play it cool, boy,
Real cool!
They are kicking the tires on an AI program they've been developing for years known as 'Jade II' (aka Jade Helm) that is being field tested. Jade Helm relay's the information to field units during the exercise from data collected by Skynet in Los Angeles (it's the big blacked out piece of the map in the middle of Los Angeles on google maps). Sky-net coordinates everything while watching from orbit and in theory 1200 guys can take over X states in a matter of days. It's actually quite clever for being duct taped together.
The Canadian equivalent is called "Maple Resolve" (sounds like a cleaning product).
This btw is how all the biological people are replaced in the Armed forces to refocus on capital costs instead of salaries and contracts, plus avoid paying pensions. Bars and Stars and grunts, Top to bottom in all Military classes. Might want to go find a new job soon just like factory workers were replaced, this is the beta test for your replacements. Thank you for your assistance in the matter, you will all join the others in the camps afterwards with the political groups after the tests are concluded. They sold you all for very little btw. All it took was bits of paper and lies.
Sophisticated artificial intelligence???
And run by the government????
LOL, now that there is some funny shit.
Federal government's modern computer systems are running Microsoft bloatware. ... Enough said
I have a healthy paranoia like anyone, but they're not going to announce martial law ahead of time. To me this is a distraction. I wonder what the left hand is doing...
If this is the case it will be as much about testing software as anything; interfaces to social media, and maybe some actors out there "pretending" to be resistance". Can the software identify the ringleaders. identify locations spaces and assets where the resistance would locate themselves. Also questions such as "what does the public notice" and "what can we do without raising any suspicion" by doing something and then monitoring the effects in social media.
This exercise is unique, most are about dealing with a belligerent STATE this is about dealing with a belligerent POPULATION.
The IDF will never invade Amerika they only know how to kill unarmed children and women
Godzilla will save us.
Something is rotten in the state of Denmark.

I have no idea why people even worry about some "federal takeover'. THAT happened in 1865 my friend. The supreme court has ruled a state cannot leave, period. The people who run around quoting Jefferson and self determination just simply do not know, because they were taught lies in government schools, the reality. http://www.thetruthaboutthelaw.com/they-tell-big-lies-about-our-supposed...
This is all just silliness. In the event of a real uprising the government will be far too busy in all those bastions of progressive thought to bother with places like Texas and Utah. Some dickhead in the Pentagon came up with this piece of brilliance, undoubtedly on orders from one of President Zippy's butt boys......
I started a Twitter campaign to sandblast Jefferson off Mount Rushmore.
The takeover started with ditching the Articles and ratifying the constitution.
Southerners being a little quicker than their Northern brethren tried an escape.
They were absolutely annihilated,,, complete destruction by an army funded and supplied by the banksters.
Amazing the difference a few years of occupation can make. Southerners willing to die for Dixie then while today burning it's flag.
Freedom ain't free.
First: I up-arrowed you for revolutionary spirit.
Second: Secessionists were three generations behind the Whiskey Rebellion, formally launched in Western PA. The South lost a diplomatic / economic war, because...
Third: North-Eastern bankers are a nationless tribe installed to keep America in alignment with Anglican wishes.
"The War of National Hegemony" aka, the US Civil War. Northern industrialists also "winning" a captive market for their sub-par manufactured goods, especially since manual slave labor was outlawed. Ever notice how the industrial revolution took off in the US after the civil war? Northern factories churning out more and more mechanized agricultural tools? A captive reconstructive market, I'd say. Quite the coincidence.
+1 for mentioning the Whiskey Rebellion. It was Hamilton that should have been on trial.

An event is planned. 'Kooks' come out of the woodwork ('interviews' with said 'kooks' ensue almost immediately), replete with all manner of 'paranoia'. 'Level-headed' types from government, the media, 'Vox' and so forth, appear to marginalize the 'kooks'. Effectively marginalized, the operation proceeds as planned - but with an added benefit: Now that the 'kooks' have been neutralized, not only does the operation roll out as planned, any 'side' operations that may have been held in queue, can now be implemented with unfettered access and latitude that may have not been afforded hence.

Yeah...If I only had a brain...
TT,
There is another commodity that Iran and Russia share... one which has not been observed in the West for at least 100 years.
That commodity? Integrity.
Point taken...
I disagree. But I will agree with you that they have demonstrated more integrity than the West has in recent years.
They are also made up of flawed human beings also. Nobody is perfect.

Patton trained his tank corps for North Africa at Fort Irwin, CA. Like Fort Irwin, Foot Hood has a terrain that matches any where there's a desert. Bases used for over 65 years to prepare the US military some how are now inadequate. And I'm supposed to believe this?
Just saying.
Hey, Patton's exercise was only 500,000 troops; Jade Helm is 1,200. See the need for more land?
IF you see something suspicious, shoot at it. It's hot this time of year. The buzzards will handle the leftovers.
Will they be training for friendly fire incidents and the usual levels of collateral damage?
Alex Jones IS/ISN'T going banans right now?
In my opinion the exercise itself is a red herring.
Like the past several 'incidents' on American soil, the military or Feds were conducting an exercise in the same location as a real attack. 9/11, Boston Marathon Bombing, the fact that DHS got to Sandy Hook within 1 hour despite police investigations not even being finished for initial responses, etc...
Most alt economic analysts, as well as some religious theologians place September/October as TSHTF time frame. And since Jade Helm runs through Sep 15, they will be in place and have trained and got some seasoning, as well as indoctrinated the population for 2 months, in case a real crisis and civil unrest takes place after that date.
Just my thoughts.

So you have the military in admitted conjunction with the DEA, FBI, and DHS, and various "crisis" actors doing military maneuvers outside of their military bases and it is just silly to ask questions? Also, there is no definitive answer if foreign troops are involved or not. A lot of retired and former military think something unusual is going on. They are not part of any "Walmart tunnel" crowd. I think it is principally an exercise to train foreign troops to go back to their own country and overthrow factions there.
I was kind of hoping USSOCOM was going to hook up with friendly dissidents and help return the country to the people of the U.S.A. like the constitution says. You know - take the country back from whoever the fuck is running it today and kill the treasonous bastards (or at least return them to their home of Israel and permanently ban them from re-entry).
I lost all hope when I found out that the NSA, FBI and DHS Stazi were part of the exercise. Those organizations exist to protect the elite ruling class of the U.S. and control the little people.
Which calls to mind the purpose of JADE HELM - it's SUPPOSEDLY to train SF guys to foment revolution and help insurgents to overthrow governments. If that's the case, then how the FUCK can GOVERNMENT agencies be part of the exercise? If the U.S. is going to attempt to overthrow the government of, say Bulgaria, then they're not going to need to cooperate with the Bulgarian government, are they? The point would be to avoid detection and confrontation with or detention by the state police of the country you're trying to overthrow. Local law enforcement probably isn't going to be to eager to help Americans overthrow their government, either. So while the SF might have that mission, JADE HELM isn't directed at training them for that.
If JADE HELM is really about it's stated purpose, then they should be doing everything to avoid law enforcement and conceal their movement and operations from any federal agency LIKE the NSA, FBI or DHS Stazis. That's how a popular uprising works - the government IS the enemy.
JADE HELM looks a lot more like a government assistance exercise designed to crush successful government opposition - here or somewhere else. It feels like a counter-revolutionary effort to help 'chosen' governments re-take lost land, re-capture lost taxpayers and round up dissidents for liquidation. Say like in Crimea or the Donbass. Maybe Saudi borderlands in the south lost to Yemen. Maybe even help the Turks kill any uppity Kurds that try to form in independent Kurdistan from any Turkish lands. The government (of wherever) is considered friendly, not hostile.
In other words, JADE HELM seems to be an exercise designed specifically to train SF guys to destroy any citizen-led independence movements and return control to the former government.
The founding fathers would just fucking cry...
Real Martial Law can only be declared by the military after a civilian government has abdicated (fled) or been deposed (strung up, beheaded, etc).
Anything else may look somewhat like martial law and feel somewhat like martial law, but if the civilian government is still in power, well it's just not martial law.
Don't worry, there will never be enough of those parading mercenaries to enforce anything! When the masses revolt, the earth shakes!
I think I'll hold a training mission to break the law. And I'm going to do it while spending your money. Please, ignore me. It's only training for when I actually plan on suppressing an insurrection. Until I actually carry it out, you're insane.
