So I see more and more about it, Walmarts being closed and protected by cops..

Stupid video link on FB

apparently it's a real Military exercise, but the problems are found in this map.

Conservative states are labeled enemy and democrat states are friendly.



quote:

The mission is vast both geographically and strategically: Elite service members from four branches of the U.S. military will launch an operation this summer in which they will operate covertly among the U.S. public and travel from state to state in military aircraft. Texas, Utah and a section of southern California are labeled as hostile territory, and New Mexico isn’t much friendlier.


quote:

That’s the scheme for Jade Helm 15, a new Special Operations exercise that runs from July 15 to Sept. 15. Army Special Operations Command announced it last week, saying the size and scope of the mission sets it apart from many other training exercises.


Waqshington post article with more info

But there is a conspiracy twist.

Apparently some think we are storing military equipment in abandoned Walmarts, and five Walmart that closed overnight in the Jade Helm region are also being called "Fema Camps" by some and "Chinese military staging areas" by others.
I'm sure the wackos on PT have discussed this, so I turn to the more intelligent posters of the OT to find out more.


Personally I don't know, it seems like a very grandiose military exercise at best.

This thread is going to get you thrown into a Walmart detention center/Chinese storage facility. I would delete and go on the lam ASAP if I were you.

I don't know if you were ever in the military but if you think for one second that we would start rounding up people and sticking them in concentration camps or something to that effect, you're wrong. My brothers in arms would never do that. They are too patriotic

Secret plot by the Germans to take over Texas, then the Southern U.S. If you start seeing Der Weinerschnitzels springing up around the South, replacing Waffle Houses,... run.

Sounds like some false flag terror coming. Flip the drills live, blame it on the towel heads, and say we were lucky to have people in place at the time to quickly respond.

This is driven 50% by conspiracy theorists and 50% by dumbass Texans who like to pretend they're of some great significance in the world.

No sir. I do not at all think that the US military would ever turn on the populace, even if ordered to do so. I do not at all believe in this conspiracy, I just want to know more about it.

The thing is...

The Army confirms the map is real, and likens it to the Navy's invasion of the east coast last year.
Just a training exercise, and I believe it is training, I want to know more about why people think it's something more.

It's a military exercise but the fallout is a purely redneck/Texas/working class paranoia phenomena.
