“The possibility that an Operation Jade Helm could have been held in the United States during most of the first century of America’s history was non-existent because our American ancestors never permitted a large permanent military establishment to be part of America’s governmental system. It was only after World War II that a vast permanent military establishment, along with the CIA and the NSA, became grafted onto our federal governmental structure, thereby effectively becoming the fourth branch of the federal government and the most powerful branch at that. The adoption of the national-security establishment fundamentally altered the federal structure of the nation.”
