I would like to be the first to stand up and tell Mr. Hodges and his followers to kiss my ass since I will be swearing my oath again in another 20 days. It also wouldn't be good to hurl the Nazi word at me off duty as that can be considered fighting words and you never know what could be found to fill that gaping cake hole.:D ;)Living by 5 USC 3331 never gets old.

You guys have to re-enlist?

Pat

Not per se Pat. Every year we have a memorial service at our museum in El Paso. Part of the tradition is to reaffirm your oath as a way to pay tribute to the one hundred twenty one agents who gave their lives as well as to recommit yourself to the day that you began in our profession. The trick to it lately is to make to to the end of the ceremony without passing out from standing at attention so long. I have never seen so many 20 year olds and blue suiters faint from heat as I have the past few years.

Has anyone else received their Jade Helm 15 contractor packet yet? Looks like I'll be either an interrogator or a senior confusion analyst. They haven't told me yet at which internment camp I'll be working, but I hope the closest town has good food and beer since I'll be on max per diem.

I'm working for the opposition ...................handing out tinfoil. Hey its a job!!:D

Handing them out? Sucker! I'm selling them, $19.99 +$7.99 handling and postage. :D

Did you get some of that Alcoa before Richard made another big buy?

This thread has over 11,000 views, as of now, and PS.com doesn't even show up on a "Jade Helm" Google search (at least in the first 5 pages).

Pat

They control the narrative, and that is what needs to change.

Something smells in all of this. You've got the left attacking the police in the cities that they run and now the right is attacking the military in states that overwhelmingly support the military. And both events will play out at roughly the same time. Who's read this playbook? That's not a rhetorical question. Has this scenario been used before?

Pat

Sorry guys, our moms won't let us play. :(

If the non-military types cannot fathom USASOC's stated position inre JH15, perhaps it would help to put it in a language most might be familiar with out there in 'Murica today - college.

Robin Sage, the large UW exercise for SF students which has been taking place throughout NC for over fifty years, is only an introductory 100 level undergrad course for an SF soldier in training.

Once assigned to an SF Group, follow-on exercises like Jade Helm 15, for example, are the 500-800 level courses for advanced studies in UW to be applied world-wide when directed in support of US strategic policy.

Richard

Do you truly think that breaking it down to the most simplistic of terms will help Richard? I am operating under the premise that you cannot fix stupid and after reading some of the conspiracy nuts responses I cannot describe it as anything else other than stupid. There is a ton of science that has been broken down to the high school level to explain the lunar landings yet the die hard conspiracy nuts disregard that and think by the seat of their pants, all the while ignoring the simple tenant of conspiracies. If there is more than you and me involved in the conspiracy then I am going to have to kill you and whoever else to keep it secret. The lunar landings had something like 50 million people all told working across the US and you would think one of them would have been disgruntled and broke that it was a fake by now and how can you afford to pay off that many people for life?

Now throw in anything that has to do with the current administration and you have nut jobs entrenched in a belief system that is not sustainable in fact and truth. DHS buying 92 Billion bullets is a good one as when you look at the contracts and the actual numbers purchased you will see that it is only 162 million. Not to be dissuaded they will counter with that is more bullets than it took to train US troops for Desert Storm and up till troops were withdrawn.

I am not sure logic and the most simplistic of levels will quell the infotards and other true disbelievers nor will it stop their masters who are nothing more than fear porn merchants.

^^^What he said.

Why not sell "Stupid", the Discovery Channel, Animal Planet, MSNBC, CNN etc. sell it every day and it takes in hundreds of millions.

We really are a nation of low IQ folks, most are too stupid to realize it.

Do you really believe it is the whole nation, with limited exceptions, that has lost the ability to think critically TS or is it just a minority that have become more empowered and more vocal with the internet giving them a global platform?

The squeaky wheel......

These days it's youtube idiots and criminals that are invited to the White House to meet the Teleprompter Reader of the United States.

We've become a 3rd World country in just six years.

BG, personally, I think it boils down to "laziness" and a willingness to be "led-by-the-nose" by anyone who claims they "know something."

In my circles, I find that many are "willingly ignorant" of facts. They hear or see something on TV or the radio...and it is automatically "fact." They conduct no independent study to form their own beliefs or opinions...then, they spread the "facts" to other "lazies" and then the rumors are perpetuated and then become "facts" due to them having been repeated so many times that no one knows the truth about it anymore.

Sheep simply want a Shepherd. They don't care who it is or how good they are at leading. They simply want to be led. They don't have to think critically or logically at all -- just tell them what to do and where to be -- and they are happy.

When you question them, they have no adequate retorts other than what they have read or been told.

Sad really, but reality.

Any teenage kid you talk to., including my own, follow this pattern.

Thanks. That is kind of how I have felt about it for the longest time. My wife was laughing at some village idiots in a video where one guys stands on his head with his legs spread while his buddy takes a 2X4 and cracks him in the kibbles and bits. She looked at me and asked how can anybody be so stupid and all I had was the same people that made the Kardashians billionaires for doing absolutely nothing.

I liked how this article kind of documented what has come to pass on the past 7 years.

Very good Richard.

071515 baby...


The countdown continues; I cannot wait to oppress me some 'muricans

Call this my new guilty pleasure, and say what you will about me going to a NASCAR event just for the wrecks, but I was eating lunch at my desk today and decided to read up on this thread. Kind of my own version of the Stupid-meter and I found this pearl of wisdom from one of Alex Jones' cultistas. Perhaps the logic is just way over my head but I haven't seen any real proof of vampires.:p

Clark Morehouse > SonOfLiberty • 2 hours ago
You don't invite a vampire into your house ,, why would you invite the federal government into your backyard ???

Those who define their military in the same breath as the "federal government" deserve Alex Jones.

The United States military is the only thing standing between Oppression and a Free Country. And the "federal government" understands that quite well.

Voters Worry Military Exercises May Lead to Federal Control Of States

http://www.rasmussenreports.com/publ...trol_of_states

"...But 45% of voters are concerned that the government will use U.S. military training operations to impose greater control over some states, with 19% who are Very Concerned. Just over half (52%) are not concerned that the government has an ulterior motive for the training exercises, including 26% who are Not At All Concerned. ..."

Getting close to that magic number of 47%.

Peregrino....Is JH expanding to LA or MS or are folks just adding to the confusion?

http://www.sunherald.com/2015/05/13/...tary.html?rh=1

I fear that some paranoid camo-commando will do something stupid and cost a life. If so, it's totally on Alex Jones.

Pat

Didnt Colorado and New Mexico go blue for Obama?
...they should shut the fuck up and take what they get.


All of the sudden they are worried about gubmint oppressin?
...put down the reefer colorado and pay attention next time


hippies

LOL. Should be an easy roll for you then. :D

Hey now ... Hey Now ... HEY NOW !!!!

We here in reeferland opted out last week.

We're NOT playing anymore. :p

Just because my wife has a peace sign on her ankle with a flower power motif, and I live in a state that borders Colorado doesn't mean that I would have ever been stupid enough to vote in a way to make this state go blue. :p:p:p Stupid enough to do other things though I may have to take the 5th on that one.

...need I remind everyone that even USASOC has said this is a JOINT exercise?
...in Colorado no less

attention to detail people
attention to detail

OK, Billy, one thing I really hate is hernia surgeries. Stop it! :D

Pat

Lucky for all of us that Billy is always reading between the lines!

Not to mention that he is always ready and willing to take one for the team and become the oppressor! 0715154EVA! Hey! That's today!

LET THE OPPRESSION BEGIN!

And the zaniness goes on...Google map satellite images of Fort Hood and Fort Sam Houston now equate to a 'secret' army base near Waco (we used to pronounce it 'Whack-o') in the minds of these loonies. :eek:

Time to buy more Alcoa stock and send in the CLOWNs! :D

Richard

Their evidence is a little "thin". I've seen NG Armories with more firepower than that.

Pat

Looks like someone took an admitted satire piece and ran with it (seems to happen with Duffel Blog from time to time). From the original author to a non self-aware commenter:
The IO/Counter-IO arena is getting really entertaining.

This guys a hoot!!!!! It was more like half a million of us there, but what's a mere 412,000 difference? :munchin

I love the "secret" military base they found.....
