“Despite the best efforts of some to sound the alarm, the nation is being locked down into a militarized, mechanized, hypersensitive, legalistic, self-righteous, goose-stepping antithesis of every principle upon which this nation was founded. All the while, the nation’s citizens seem content to buy into a carefully constructed, benevolent vision of life in America that bears little resemblance to the gritty, pain-etched reality that plagues those unfortunate enough to not belong to the rarefied elite. For those whose minds have been short-circuited into believing the candy-coated propaganda peddled by the politicians, here is an A-to-Z, back-to-the-basics primer of what life in the USA is really all about.”

Jade Helm, Terrorist Attacks, Surveillance and Other Fairy Tales

“It remains to be seen whether Jade Helm 15 proves to be a thinly veiled military plot to take over the country or is merely a ‘routine’ exercise for troops, albeit a blatantly intimidating flexing of the military’s muscles. The problem arises when you add Jade Helm to the list of other troubling developments that have taken place over the past 30 years or more. Suddenly, the overall picture seems that much more sinister. Clearly, there’s a larger agenda at work here, and it’s one the American people had better clue into before it’s too late to do anything about it. Call me paranoid, but I think we’d better take James Madison’s advice and ‘take alarm at the first experiment on our liberties.'”
Policymakers Call for Division, Destruction and Occupation of Syria

“The signed and dated open-conspiracy to divide, destroy, then incrementally occupy a sovereign nation thousands of miles from America’s shores serves as a sobering example of how dangerous and enduring modern imperialism is. The document openly admits that the US has provided billions in arming and training militants fed into the devastating and increasingly regional conflict. It admits that the US maintains – and should expand – operations in Jordan and NATO-member Turkey to provide even more weapons, cash, and fighters to the already catastrophic conflict. It then recounts the rise of ISIS, but fails to account from where its money, cash, and weapons came.”
Are You Ready for the e-PATRIOT Act?

“Only a few days after the OPM hack, Senate leaders tacked on the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act (CISA) to a defense bill to avoid debate on the measure. It didn’t work – the Senate failed to advance the legislation. It’s no wonder they didn’t want a debate. CISA provides liability protection for businesses that voluntarily share “cyberthreat” data with the government. But it also creates a back-door channel for government agencies to retrieve, analyze, and store enormous volumes of personal data. And since information sharing would be voluntary, the government would be able to obtain all of this information without a warrant. Think of it as an ‘e-PATRIOT Act.'”
The Massive OPM Hack Actually Hit 25 Million People

“The stolen information includes about 1.1 million fingerprints as well as findings that investigators obtained from interviews conducted with neighbors, friends and family members for background checks. Such information can be highly sensitive since it can include knowledge about the drug and criminal history of someone undergoing a background check as well as their sexual orientation and relationships. Those affected include anyone who applied for a security clearance in 2000 or later and who underwent a background investigation. All of that is in addition to the millions people the government had already announced were hacked.”

NSA: Visualize Everything
“Do you remember those ‘Visualize World Peace’ bumper stickers? They gave the National Security Agency an idea, apparently. Now the agency that hears and reads everything wants to see everything, too. This is interesting in several ways. For one, it shows the tendency of any bureaucracy to expand however possible. The U.S. Department of Defense already has two other entities whose mission is to ‘create a much broader picture’ like Admiral Rogers wants. Why the National Reconnaissance Office and the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency would need the NSA’s help is unclear.”

Jacob Hornberger: Will U.S. Soldiers Soon Be Dying for Communism?
“The fact is that the United States could have done without the entire national-security establishment and it’s much-vaunted, meaningless term ‘national security’ and lived in peaceful coexistence with Vietnam, the Soviet Union, Cuba, China, Nicaragua, Grenada, and other communist regimes. How do we know this? Look at Vietnam. It’s still headed by a brutal communist regime. And yet the U.S. national-security establishment is not invading the country again to save the Vietnamese people (and the American people) from communism. That’s how it could have been throughout the Cold War, including with the Soviet Union, China, Cuba, Nicaragua, Chile, Guatemala, and other nations.”

Does Jade Helm Violate Posse Comitatus?

“What might the military mean by ‘realistic environment’ in the context of Jade Helm? In terms of culture and physical setting, only English-speaking America resembles English-speaking America. As a concerned resident of one of the affected small towns in Texas told a newspaper: ‘What place looks like this—except this?’ Put another way, if Special Ops were to prowl the coffee shops of North Korea, Ukraine, or Tehran questioning locals for information, they would be rounded up within an hour. So, as Jon Stewart might have asked if he had looked a little deeper into the Jade Helm scenario, whom is America fixing to invade? Canada?”

Military technology: Laser weapons get real

“Thanks to computerized aiming, HEL MD can operate in wholly autonomous mode, which Boeing tested successfully in May 2014 — although the trials uncovered an unexpected challenge. The weapon’s laser beam is silent and invisible, and not all targets explode as they are destroyed, so an automated battle can be over before operators have noticed anything. ‘The engagements happen quickly, and unless you’re staring at a screen 24–7 you’ll never see them,’ Blount says. ‘So we’ve built sound in for whenever we fire the laser. We plan on taking advantage of lots of Star Trek and Star Wars sound bites.'”

“These are the U.S. Marines from 1st Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division practicing ‘assault support tactics’ in Yuma Arizona as part of a 7 week exercise prior to the JADE HELM 15 EXERCISES.”
