Considering all of the controversy surrounding this
“special operation”, I assume that most Americans have heard something about it by now. Simply
stated, Jade Helm 15 is a training exercise for our military unlike anything
that has ever been done before. Special force units from 4 branches of our
military will be carrying out training exercises in multiple states and many U.S.
citizens are quite nervous about this situation.
This is the largest scale exercise in history in
this country and many patriotic Americans insist that it is not what it appears
to be. First of all, the states of Texas and Utah are deemed as “hostile” in
the supposed simulation and many citizens honestly feel that this is not a
practice drill at all but an attempt to declare martial law in many areas. The
reason for the “charade” is to force Americans to relinquish any firearms that
they may have in their homes according to many conspiracy theorist supporters.
By this time you may well be laughing at the very
thought of such an occurrence but I can assure you that many of our citizens
are taking this situation quite seriously. Texas Governor Greg Abbott is one of
many that disapprove of such a large deployment of U.S. troops on our own soil.
He disagrees so much in fact that he has ordered the Texas State Guard to
“monitor” federal troops during the so called exercise.
Does this all sound like a bit of unnecessary “paranoia”
to you? Perhaps, but the internet is “buzzing” with rumors of conspiracies involving
the highest levels of our government and possibly the illuminati itself. Some
of the gossip states that foreign fighters from the Islamic State will be
“involved” in the training exercise. Other theories insist that this is the
first step to a “new world order” in which we are sure to lose all of our
constitutional freedoms. Still others believe that this is the beginning of the
apocalypse as referenced in the book of Revelations in the Christian bible.
Bob Wells, a resident of Bastrop, Texas explained
his opinion of the situation as follows: “It’s the same thing that happened in
Nazi Germany: You get the people used to the troops on the street, the appearance
of uniformed troops and the militarization of the police. They’re gathering
intelligence. That’s what they’re doing. And they’re moving logistics in place
for martial law. That’s my feeling. Now, I could be wrong. I hope I am wrong. I
hope I’m a ‘conspiracy theorist.'”
Everyone seems to have their own opinion of such a
large “occupation” by our own military within our own borders. Whether you
believe that this is some sort of “military takeover” of the U.S. or not, an
operation of this scale has never been attempted on our very own soil before
and even if it is done with the “best of intentions” the cost to tax payers
must be staggering. This is one
aspect of the exercise that I have not heard anyone comment on as of yet. What
do you think of Jade Helm 15?
