War games on American soil!

Unprecedented and a bit ominous,

And zilch on the MSM

what are your thoughts DU?



Observers might conclude (as a portion of the public already has) that Jade Helm 15 is likely a means to acclimate Americans for martial law. Since September 11, 2001 US citizens have experienced a steady erosion of their civil liberties associated with the dubious rationale of the “War On Terror.” The increased militarization of law enforcement and now operations like Jade Helm 15 being carried out on domestic soil further indicate how the Posse Comitatus Act, introduced in 1878 and intended to prevent the federal government from using the military for domestic law enforcement, is being steadily erased.

In at least one of those states, hostility toward the operation has begun a few months early. Online and at in-person meetings, many Texans have expressed suspicion and outright opposition to the project. Some are understandably worried about how it’ll affect their daily lives, while conspiracy theorists claim it’s an attempt to institute martial law, possibly in collusion with Wal-Mart.

The fact that Camp Swift is only about 15 miles from Alex Jones' radio home couldn't possibly have anything to do with this conspiracy theory, could it?

Host consensus is that this violates the GD rules concerning conspiracy theories.
