Jade Helm 15

Jade Helm 15, if you are sane, was a military exercise in Texas and six other states involving 1,200 personnel from four of the five branches of the U.S. military. The exercise was designed to train soldiers in modern warfare, including maneuvering through civilian populations. Except for being the largest such exercise undertaken by the U.S. military, there was little remarkable about it.
Unless you "AWAKEN" and see the TRUTH, of course.
==Conspiracy==
According to conspiracy theorists, Jade Helm is also a plan to take control of Texas and do one or more of the following:"Jade Helm: The Insanity that Ate Texas", Jim Wright"Texas Governor Deploys State Guard To Stave Off Obama Takeover", Wade Goodwyn, NPR.
#Impose martial law.
#Take everyone's guns. (Finally!)
#Ship everyone off to Wal-Marts (which were allegedly closed for six months for "renovation") that are actually (a) military control centers and (b) FEMA concentration camps for political prisoners.http://www.thecommonsenseshow.com/2015/04/30/closed-walmarts-to-be-guerilla-warfare-staging-areas-in-response-to-invasion/ who will be transported by train cars that have already been equipped with shackles.http://www.shtfplan.com/headline-news/texas-ranger-drops-jade-helm-bombshell-there-are-trains-with-shackles-on-them_04292015
#Acclimatize people to martial law in America.
Jade Helm may or may not be involved with the ISIS base camp slightly north of the Mexican-American border.http://www.thecommonsenseshow.com/2015/04/17/the-connection-between-jade-helm-and-isis/ If it is, it's probable that the Jade Helm troops will cooperate with ISIS to impose their combined communist-Sharia ideology on the good folks of Houston.http://www.statesman.com/news/news/national/bastrop-critics-on-armys-jade-helm-training-come-a/nk454/
Alex Jones changed his position from the "U.S. military [is] positioning itself to take over the states and declare martial law" (March 27),https://web.archive.org/web/20150330215117/http://www.infowars.com/beyond-denial-preparations-for-martial-law-in-america/ to "Jade Helm 15 Is NOT a Martial Law Takeover", stating: "Is it true martial law is coming? No, it's incremental. They're not going to take over this summer. Probably. We can never say completely. But that it's part of acclimating and conditioning." (April 04).http://www.infowars.com/jade-helm-15-is-not-a-martial-law-takeover/
Needless to say, this is absolute bullshit. This is a standard domestic exercise, of the kind that have been going on since the country was founded.
===Bastrop===
200 people in rural Bastrop County went to a standard public briefing by the Army. There, they questioned Lt. Col. Mark Lastoria about whether the government was planning to confiscate guns or implement martial law. Bastrop County Judge Paul Pape said "conspiracy theorists" and "fear mongers" had been in a frenzy. Bastrop resident Bob Wells stated:
===Republicans respond===
Given this grave threat, Texas Governor Greg Abbott called out the Texas State Guard to monitor the military exercises, stating:http://talkingpointsmemo.com/news/texas-governor-abbott-orders-national-guard-military-takeover
Luckily, Jade Helm is a threat to none of the above.
On March 2, Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz stated:http://www.bloomberg.com/politics/articles/2015-05-02/ted-cruz-says-he-has-asked-the-pentagon-for-answers-on-jade-helm-15
This masterly piece of weaseling manages to both avoid explicitly supporting the conspiracy theory and to rally the base against Obama.
Rand Paul also promised to "look into" the matter.http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/rand-paul-jade-helm
Representative Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) reminded us of the hardships Christians face in America:http://beforeitsnews.com/military/2015/05/republican-areas-designated-hostile-for-military-training-member-of-congress-warns-patriotic-americans-have-reason-to-be-concerned-2471088.html
A poll of Republicans found that 32% of Republicans thought that "The Government is trying to take over Texas", 40% thought not, and 28% were unsure. Of Tea Partiers, 50% thought that Jade Helm was real, 24% thought it was not, and 25% were unsure.http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/poll-one-third-republicans-think-obama-wants-invade-texas Maybe pandering's not such a bad electoral strategy at all.
===Sane politicians respond===
In response to Abbott's action, several (former) Texas politicians have spoken out. Former Texas State Representative Todd Smith stated:http://www.scribd.com/doc/263700043/Letter-to-Governor-Abbott
White House press secretary Josh Earnest stated:http://www.bloomberg.com/politics/articles/2015-04-29/whoa-if-true-operation-jade-helm-15-lays-groundwork-for-martial-law
===Irony happens===
Shortly after the conspiracies started flying, Texas received a massive amount of rain over the course of a month, completely refilling certain drought-afflicted areas of north Texas, who had been down in the upper teens as far as lake saturation percentages were concerned. We're talking years of drought ended in a matter of days. In particular, flooding got so bad that several sections of cities in Texas had to be evacuated due to the high floodwaters that were causing damage to homes and vehicles.
And suddenly, all of Texas didn't seem to hate the presence of US troops in Texas, since the troops were doing much of the cleanup, and the government was sending disaster relief money. Time will tell if this gets spun into a conspiracy as well.
===The flooding is turned into a conspiracy theory===
HAARP is apparently to blame for the flooding in Texas. It involves the NWO and a false Christ for obvious reasons.http://beforeitsnews.com/agenda-21/2015/05/haarp-causing-severe-flooding-in-oklahoma-and-texas-1362.html
