<\/a><\/center><\/p>\nA number of people across the country have collectively lost their shit over the prospect of Special Forces and Ranger soldiers taking part in an exercise in Texas that has been named Jade Helm 15. They’re the same folks who are watching in amazement those videos of the reptile people on YouTube – they’re the vinegar-spraying people trying to make the chem-trails disappear. Ex-PH2 sends this link from MSN<\/a> about a press conference that the Pentagon held to explain the exercise to the media (a futile endeavor, I assure you);<\/p>\n “Operation Jade Helm poses no threat to any American’s civil liberties,” Army Col. Steve Warren, a Pentagon spokesman, said Monday. “Operation Jade Helm is being conducted by Americans \u2014 by, specifically, American special forces personnel.”<\/p>\n Jade Helm 15 will be one of the biggest peacetime military exercises in six decades. Starting July 15 and lasting two months, thousands of Army Rangers, Green Berets, Navy SEALS and other special operations forces will simulate war missions in mainly remote areas of Arizona, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico, Texas and Utah.<\/p>\n Jade Helm 15 will take place on tracts of both public and private land in the seven states.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Yeah, well, that’s what they’d say if they were lying, isn’t it?<\/p>\n There are exercises on private and public land in Germany, in Alaska and in Korea. When the exercise was over, we packed up our stuff and left those places just the way we found it, generally speaking. But the hype is being fueled by the nut jobs like those folks at Infowars.<\/p>\n But, seriously, do you think that kid who delivered your newspaper ten years ago who is now an Army Ranger would lock you up in an abandoned Walmart? Those kids who played Little League with your child would kick down your door and haul you off to a FEMA camp? Do you think a patriotic guy like Chris Kyle who took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution would deny you your rights? It’s not like there’s a farm somewhere that grows special forces soldiers for the government – they come from your neighborhoods, from your schools. They packed your groceries at the supermarket. They mowed your lawn, they raked your leaves and shoveled your walk.<\/p>\n I’ll admit that I don’t like the current administration and I don’t trust them out of my sight, but I have faith in the Americans in the military who stand between us and them. I also trust the FBI, the NSA, the CIA, The Men In Black and S.H.I.E.L.D to protect my rights. Of course, in the six years that I’ve lived here, I’ve seen not one chemtrail over my house. I’ve also been accused of being a space alien (or at least, I have knowledge of space aliens and their technology) because of where I worked until last year. So, what do I know?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
