Jade Helm, just an Exercise?

Most of us are aware of the Jade Helm exercises that are going to be happening starting July 15 and running until September 15. For those of you that are unaware, it is a joint effort with the Green Berets, Navy Seals, the 82nd Airborne Division, USAF Special Operations Command, USMC Special Operations Command and expeditionary units each participating in the exercise. The exercise will cover Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, California, Nevada, Utah and Colorado, with Texas and Utah being designated as “hostile territory” and New Mexico leaning towards hostile.

Is this just a training exercise or something more, that depends on who you ask it seems. The theories abound all over the internet. The government has released a 12 page unclassified document concerning the training objectives and areas of operation. I have included it here, though it does not really give us much more then a simple outline.

The opinions run from standard training exercise to preparation for martial law to  fema camps to attempts to dis-arm the American people. It could be a dry-run for any one of those (or other) scenarios, or the real thing. I believe, as do others that obama would attempt to create a situation allowing the government to institute martial law and remain in office somehow. He has shown a complete disregard for the law and our Constitutional rights thus far, I believe he sees himself as the great dictator, he has and will continue to fool himself further in the belief that he can actually become the great one. The military has performed many other training exercise throughout the country previously. So why does this training exercise have so many people concerned, and so many conspiracy theories spiraling around it?

When you consider the large area of operations, and other then Texas no specific mention of locations and the vague explanations from the government concerning the Jade Helm exercise, I believe concern is warranted. Consider the large areas of (illegally controlled state) land already under federal control, much of it remote and uninhabited. We can be assured they will utilize that fact to their advantage if they have things they want hidden from the public eye. You can see in the graphic below, the federally controlled state lands in red, according to the Constitution Article I, Section 8, Clause 17: To exercise exclusive Legislation in all Cases whatsoever, over such District (not exceeding ten Miles square) as may, by Cession of particular States, and the Acceptance of Congress, become the Seat of the Government of the United States, and to exercise like Authority over all Places purchased by the Consent of the Legislature of the State in which the Same shall be, for the Erection of Forts, Magazines, Arsenals, dock-Yards, and other needful Buildings;–And.

That looks like a lot more then 10 square miles, for forts, arsenals and/or other needful buildings as authorized.

 

Federally Controlled State Lands (in red)

I do find the timing suspect also because the area of operation is right where many of these states are trying to regain control of their own lands from federal control.  You know the federal government never wants to cede control once they have it, you know someplace in their agenda is reasserting control over whatever lands they have illegally annexed. That we can be sure is not even close to their primary objectives though, objectives we can only guess at, if we are fortunate the exercise will be just that, an exercise.
