Re: Jade Helm: Realistic Military Training slated for 7 States - or more
The spin itself is a distraction. So in that sense I believe the perspective of the OP's video is correct. The military is not training to "invade" Texas or "takeover" Utah, or even impose marital law (that's the straw man interpretation). He is telling us the truth, as he understands it, and in a sense is describing a straw man. However, he is processing the dynamic through his unique paradigm of understanding the difference between "us" and "them", between the "good guys" and the "bad guys", etc. He presumes to have a grasp of a much more elusive demarcation. In reality the line between these groups will become much more nebulous and cloudy and increasingly more confusing to discern as the country continues its slide into totalitarianism. Jade Helm is not about a military invasion of the United States; it's not even about training for imminent martial law. To employ his own words, it's about "kicking down doors and shooting bad guys in the face..."
The question is, who are the bad guys? In his paradigm, it is the Chinese militia who have invaded the country and are hiding in the woods, or factions of warlords in the mountains of Afghanistan, or religious fanatics who oppose the United States of America. But in reality, the bad guys are really all of the same ilk, regardless of skin color, religious inclination, or cultural background; they are those who so happen to organize against and resist the official policies of the United States of America. And as those policies continue its mobilization of the institutions of force against the people themselves, "bad guys" can and will be rendered from anyone, not just from Chinamen in the woods or freedom fighters in the mountains.
I don't believe the military would ever "attack" or "invade" Texas or Utah (too radical, not necessary, and not the most effective way to manufacture public consent) but they will surely engage small groups of active dissents in these territories after the official government crosses some hypothetical line by which some of its citizens organize and take up arms against their government. Quelling an event like the Bundy Ranch showdown, for example, or diffusing an event perhaps tenfold its size and scope serves as an example of what Jade Helm is about. There are plausible scenarios where an organized movement would require an unconventional warfare response. Given the current trajectory of the political landscape in the United States, this eventuality is inevitable, whether it happens later this year or ten years from now. And the military has to train for it. And that is what Jade Helm is about. In other words, it's not about an "invasion" of Texas or Utah, it's about dealing with the blowback of some government policy that finally crosses the line, e.g. forced inoculations after a hyped or contrived outbreak, capital controls after a epic banking crisis, confiscation of bank accounts or private property after a currency collapse, etc. It doesn't matter what Rubicon the government so happens to cross. Everybody has a line in the sand, and it would seem the United States government is encroaching upon the lines of many with whom they may need to deal in the States of Texas and Utah. The majority of the people, however--even in Texas and Utah--will go along with whatever government propaganda accompanies these measures, so the bad guys could easily be anyone who doesn't stand in line. They need not be Chinese or Muslim; the present sophistication of psychological warfare and seamless manipulation of public opinion can easily covert anybody, including your mild-mannered and puppy-loving neighbor, into the OPs bad-guy paradigm, i.e., he who needs his door kicked down and his face shot off.
Move along. Nothing to see here. The institutions of force are merely going about their business...
