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?

Colorado dropped from multi-state Jade Helm 15 special forces exercise

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - The Army says Colorado has been dropped from a multi-state special forces training exercise because the unit that was designated to participate won't be available.

The Colorado Springs Gazette reported Friday the Army Special Forces Command announced the change of plans.

Some people in Texas, which will be included in the Jade Helm exercise, have questioned whether the exercise was a plan to confiscate guns or implement martial law. The Pentagon has denied any sinister intentions.

The Army unit that was originally expected to participate in the exercise hasn't been identified, but Fort Carson outside Colorado Springs is home to the 10th Special Forces Group.

The three-month exercise begins in July and mainly involves about 1,200 Army special operations soldiers and other U.S. troops honing their combat skills. The military routinely conducts exercises all over the world.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
