The spin on media has become the trademark of our mass news culture. Images of bullet riddled glass upon the all respected backdrop of the Marine Corps emblem reverberate deep emotions throughout American society. Whether or not we have personal connections with a marine mother, father, or sibling; an attack on a domestic American recruitment facility, is likened to an attack on Old Glory herself. Thus this an attack upon all Americans everywhere. In purely a portrayal of humanities altruistic nature it is rational to demand some form of action. In America we happen to specialize in understanding the best courses of action to these ends. Our resolve recognizes action must come with cognitive understanding; addressing the principles with nonemotional calculations.
Most headlines begin their reports leaving the audience to imagine a scenario of an unknown drive-by-shooter unloading bullets from a discrete small gun at unseen targets in a shopping center recruitment office. Yet, the murders do not occur within the recruitment office itself but on the other side of town at an actual military base, Naval Reserve Training Center. The fact that this attack wasn’t simply at a recruitment office, reveals a level of intelligence gathering and premeditation on behalf of the assailant thus escalating the attack to an act of terrorism against military targets.
Meanwhile, Jade Helm 2015, a national interagency training exercise to combat large scale domestic something or other, is set only a day earlier. An article by, The Guardian’s Tom Dart, published on July 15, describes the scene from what is suppose to be the “hub” of the massive exercise, Bastrop, TX. The exercise described as, “any other day,” encompasses six other states besides Texas and will run until September 15. Dart describes a potential scenario of “converting Walmarts into concentration camps” and using “ice cream trucks as portable morgues,” a few imaginings of a journalist, no doubt. Yet for all the sardonic remarks, not a tidbit of evidence to suggest a single domestic troop movement on national soil, which raises the question, what’s behind Jade Helm?
It is common parlance the government partitions domestic land for military troop use and is likely the major domestic real-estate holder, not to mention its ability to expand via imminent domain. So why not use the mock towns and villages setup for that purpose, or better yet, utilize the newly developed on-base neighborhoods, exchanges, and grocery stores. Surely, the bases themselves portray all of the modern standards that the civilian sector does, so what's the big deal anyway. Prime Minister Netenyahu was accused of leading through a culture of fear, yet perhaps that accusation can reverberate all the way into the western hemisphere and point the finger directly at our Commander and Chief.
If Jade Helm is really an ineffective domestic training exercise, one in which national soil is not even utilized for those ends, then maybe it is simply being used to stir a culture of fear to ultimately shift the power from within the people, to some distant autocrat thousands of miles away. The President has been accused to be a Saudi Arabian plant as more than five million people have viewed a video under the title "Obama is a Saudi Plant." It is the case that his birth certificate itself has been called into question and his person has gone to great lengths to delay its production for the American public tarnishing his role as the First Citizen. Moreover, the man has an arabic name clearly not the name of his birth, so why hide the fact that he has undergone muslim conversion and has a strong partiality to Islamic Identity by hosting the first Islamic Last Supper in the White House. Was it perhaps because that the majority of Americans are Christian and anything less than a Christian confession upon entering the ballot box would prevent a seat in the White House. Anyway you cut the cake it doesn't add up to pi. Jade Helm is proven to be a farce likely only to escalate tension, meanwhile an active shooter born outside of national soil kills military men at a military base, something we are not privy to the details of. Instead we have been fed the perpetrator’s biography and resume. And if you have any questions as to the motivation of his actions or if he may have organized terrorist ties, too bad another one of these psychopaths has been killed in the act and we have no one giving us any solid information. Good luck America, if the future keeps up anything like the past we are in for quite a pickle.
