Yep, that's the whole point. Thinking the military is there to kill and imprison people. Classic paranoia.

Never said that was what they were there for, just that it's not paranoid to want to keep an eye on the institution with the legal authority to kill, imprison, and tax people.

Paranoid is as Paranoid does.

How many soldiers FROM Texas will be taking part in the exercise? Thousands? Do you honestly think they would stay silent as
to intent?

Totally agree. It's not like there has been hundreds of examples over history of governments abusing their authority or deceiving the citizenry. That kind of stuff never happens.

Another thing about the Jade Helm business. It has also been suggested that it really is what it says it is, a training session, but that the point will be to get people riled up with paranoia and make them look crazy, so in the future people will just believe these "conspiracy nuts" really are crazy, and won't listen to them.

And the height of paranoia is wanting to keep an eye on an institution that has the legal authority to kill, imprison, and tax people, because those kinds of powers have never been abused before, right?

The military does not have any authority on US soil.

It is illegal, per the constitution to have actively deploy troups for real time military operations. So, you would need all aspects of the government, including the GOP to willingly take part in order for this fantasy about the military being deployed to take over Texas.

By the way, we do not want Texas. Please stop breaking your promises to secede and do it already. Or we will send troups and force you out of the union.

I've been posting about this in the rapture thread, where I lay out conspiracy theories that have been posted recently.

You can check it out here if you would like, though it encompasses more than just Jade Helm, it also has a LOT more info than this and the "supposed" FEMA camps.

Snippet: FEMA training camps & JADE HELM 15

$96 million Fake Town in Virginia

"The U.S. Army has constructed an elaborate fake city in Virginia designed for terrorism combat training, spanning 300 acres and complete with a five-story embassy, a bank, a school, an underground subway and train station, a mosque, a football stadium and a helicopter landing zone, the U.K. Telegraph reported."

Though the mention of a mosque, looks like a church, and all the signs are in English... seems more like a US town than a foreign one based on the pictures, and subway and football stadium (doesn't everyone in the world like soccer instead?).

To pharaphrase - Paranoid is as Paraniod does.

You could say the Jewish people were paranoid during the Holocaust era when they were forced to wear the star and had their windows broken in the Night of Broken Glass etc... sometimes you have to pay attention to things before they go too far.

Yea, it's so paranoid to want to keep an eye on your government. It's not like governments have ever abused their authority or lied about anything before.

"If the government wants to put troops in place for a takeover, they aren't going to put them in Bastrop," [Johnston] said.

Put troops in place for a takeover? Ummm...Texas is already part of the United States. These people are whacked, which makes the following comment even more entertaining:

But the organizers insist the radically conspiracy-minded have been filtered from the surveillance volunteers, and no one among their group fears the imminent opening of concentration camps. Lanteri said he struggles to keep that bloc off his Facebook page.

"When the troops land in Texas for Operation Jade Helm next week, someone will be waiting for them.

Hundreds of people have organized a "Counter Jade Helm" surveillance operation across the Southwestern states and in an effort to keep an eye on the contentious military drill that's sparked many suspicious of Uncle Sam's intentions."

While not a conspiracy 'nut' I am glad that there are some folks watching to see what the Feds are doing. Especially in light of the media not being allowed to be part of the activities.
