I honestly don't know what is going on with these exercises. There have been so many scenarios, it could be preparation for any or all of them, whichever one comes first. I just find it hard to believe that they need to roll out Mwraps and have trainloads of tanks going to a bunch of states in our country just to practice.
The idea that they need terrain like the Middle East to practice on sounds plausible, except for the fact that we have been to Iraq twice for wars starting with Operation Desert Storm, so the special forces have already fought there. We have been to Libya, whose coastline is like Syria's. We have been to Afghanistan and Pakistan.
I am NOT saying the military is blatantly lieing about what they are doing. They are compartmentalized. They can be told one thing, when the higher ups are having them get ready for something else.
The photos of tanks being rolled into Pennsylvania prove there is something not right with the official disclosures. I have travelled thru there and the the northeast and there is no part of it that looks like the Middle East. From the Counter Jade Helm website there were reports of equipment being rolled into Macon and Jacksonville.
Here on good ole Long Island, we have black hawk helicopters flying around all the time, years before Jade Helm. One could say, well you know NYC is a high target, which would seem a plausible explanation, but the implementation of all the surveillance cameras even on the parkways that have no traffic lights prove they are getting ready for other things. They put these effing cameras up first on major intersections and called them red light cameras, taking pictures of cars going thru the lights. They also manipulated the timing of the traffic lights so they get you going thru a red light. It was yellow when you were halfway in the intersection so you continue and BAM, it turns red, they photograph you and you are screwed. One ticket is $85. Then they started putting them on smaller roads, now they are on highways.
They have had weather cameras long before this, so they have no good reason as to why they are on the highways.
I think Hade Helm is preparation to systematize police states across our country. People in the states they are starting out in are not used to what we have been thru here. Coming into a train station with military personnel with weapons there to keep the peace, etc. If I saw a SWAT team in NYC, it wouldn't phase me, I would just think, well I guess something is going on around here. If bullets started flying where I was I would stop, drop and roll if I could not get behind something quickly enough. It's just pathetic what has happened and what can happen to the rest of the country.
If anyone thinks tanks coming into their towns and states is okay because the military says they just need to practice there, well all I can say is they better make sure there aren't things going on that they don't know.

Homeland Security Chair:
200,000 tweets coming from Syria. Isis calling for attacks on military installations and police. Well maybe that is what they are really training for in Jade Helm, a war in the US, within our borders.
This is rather disconcerting, a police chief's son, in Boston no less, praises Isis and wants a caliphate in America.
The 23-year-old son of a Boston police captain praised the Islamic State and celebrated the beheadings of hostages - including American citizens - in his FBI interview, which was played in court. Alexander Ciccolo is accused of plotting an attack on a college cafeteria using a pressure cooker bomb in the name of the Middle Eastern terrorist group. In his nine-minute recorded interview, played on Tuesday, he said ISIS is a 'good thing' and that murdered women and children deserved it because they fought back.
According to the Boston Herald, other segments of the video, which have not been released, showed Ciccolo describing his vision for a Muslim caliphate in America.
Non-Muslims, he said 'won't be hurt' but would have to pay 'a tax while living in the Islamic State.'
He concluded: 'They are implementing Sharia law... There can be nothing else.'
REMARKS: Well, maybe the war is already here. We thought the marathon bombing was just two pissed off Russians. Now we have a police captain's son, also in Boston who wanted to do more pressure cooker bombings.
