What Is The Jade Helm 15 Project?: Could this be the final evidence citizens of the United States need to identify themselves to be living in a status quo of martial law?

Martial law is a very serious thing that is in the discussions of today's most current politicians as well as in the discussions between the most well-known conspiracy theorists. What happens if you just provided the evidence and the proof needed to declare that the United States government may potentially being carrying out martial law? This book analyzes the official unclassified document sand the statements made in regards to the 2015 military exercise that includes the killing of dissidents. Find out what this military exercise is factually about, and then from that you can determine if the Jade Helm project is fact or fiction.

“MASTERING THE HUMAN DOMAIN” is What The US Military Calls It:

Most media coverage of Jade Helm has been geared toward assuring the American public that there is no reason to fear this or any other military exercise. Yet a closer look at the U.S. government’s growing police and surveillance states shows that everyday Americans are becoming the focus of various “domestic extremism” and “terrorism” task forces.

Citing an “escalating danger from self-radicalized individuals within our own borders,” then-Attorney General Eric Holder announced in June 2014 that the Justice Department would revive a domestic terrorism task force established to share and monitor domestic threats in the wake of the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing. Holder stated that the Domestic Terrorism Executive Committee would work to eliminate the threat posed by violent individuals who may be motivated by anti-government or racist views. The FBI, the National Security Division of the Justice Department, and the Attorney General’s Advisory Committee are in charge of the efforts.

Meanwhile, documents like the Missouri Information Analysis Center (MIAC) report prompt questions about why everyday, constitutionally-protected behavior is becoming criminalized. MIAC is a “fusion center” which connects the Department of Homeland Security with local agencies to share resources and information. The center issued a report in 2009 stating that U.S. citizens could potentially be a domestic terrorist if they support “strong state rights,” or if they hold “anti-abortionist” or “anti-Immigration” views. Opposition to “the collection of federal income taxes” or “the Federal Reserve Banks,” or support of third-party presidential candidates like Ron Paul could also land citizens on government watchlists, according to the report.

One Bastrop resident told MintPress he believes the media coverage of Jade Helm is a sort of psychological operation, or “PSYOP,” designed to gauge the response of the populace to a large military presence.

Lt. Col. Mark Lastoria, of the U.S. Army Special Operations Command, answers questions at a public hearing about the Jade Helm 15 military training exercise at the Bastrop County Commissioners Court in Bastrop on Monday April 27, 2015. An overflow crowd came to the meeting to hear a presentation and ask questions of Lastoria about the controversial military exercise that will take place in several states in the summer of 2015:

The U.S. military has replaced the term “psychological operation” with “military information support operation,” or MISO, which is defined as:

“Planned operations to convey selected information and indicators to foreign audiences to influence their emotions, motives, objective reasoning, and ultimately the behavior of foreign governments, organizations, groups, and individuals in a manner favorable to the originator’s objectives.”

The public learned more about “psychological operations” in 2008, when WikiLeaks released the U.S. Special Forces counterinsurgency manual:

“PSYOP [Psychological Operations] are essential to the success of PRC [Population & Resources Control]. For maximum effectiveness, a strong psychological operations effort is directed toward the families of the insurgents and their popular support base. The PSYOP aspect of the PRC program tries to make the imposition of control more palatable to the people by relating the necessity of controls to their safety and well-being. PSYOP efforts also try to create a favorable national or local government image and counter the effects of the insurgent propaganda effort.”

The U.S. military was famously caught using “psychological operations” in 2011, when Michael Hastings, writing for Rolling Stone, reported that “the U.S. Army illegally ordered a team of soldiers specializing in ‘psychological operations’ to manipulate visiting American senators into providing more troops and funding for the war.”

The official logo of the Jade Helm exercise features the phrase “Mastering the Human Domain.” According to the U.S. Geospatial Intelligence Foundation, a nonprofit focused on intelligence, Human Domain Analytics is “the presence, activities (including transactions – both physical and virtual), culture, social structure/organization, networks and relationships, motivation, intent, vulnerabilities, and capabilities of humans (single or groups) across all domains of the operational environment (Space, Air, Maritime, Ground, and Cyber).” Essentially, it’s the understanding of anything associated with people and their responses.

“You have to understand the human terrain — Who do I talk to? Where do I go?” Paul Floyd, a senior military analyst for Stratfor, a global intelligence firm based in Austin, Texas, told the Statesman. “You have to put yourself in their shoes as people and understand their motivations. Jade Helm is essentially practicing that.”

Floyd, a former Army Ranger who led Special Operations teams in Afghanistan, also noted “such training is crucial to better prepare troops for unconventional warfare, where it’s not always easy to tell civilians from soldiers, good guys from bad guys.”

MILITARIZATION COMES HOME

There is also the issue of normalizing the use of military on American streets, as occurred following the 9/11 attacks, the Boston Marathon bombing, and protests in Ferguson, Missouri. One Bastrop resident told MintPress he does not believe conspiracy theories about Jade Helm 15, but does believe the exercise violates the Posse Comitatus Act, which bans the military from participating in law enforcement activities on U.S. soil.

Such concerns about violations of Posse Comitatus are not entirely unfounded. In 2013, The Long Island Press reported on a Department of Defense rule change that would allow the military to police the streets:

“By making a few subtle changes to a regulation in the U.S. Code titled ‘Defense Support of Civilian Law Enforcement Agencies’ the military has quietly granted itself the ability to police the streets without obtaining prior local or state consent, upending a precedent that has been in place for more than two centuries.

Around the middle of March, a hard copy version of notes used to brief training exercise Jade Helm local level government officials, and the notes were passed along to a third party and then posted to a website. The person who posted the documents did not have the understanding of the facts associated with the training exercise and then injected his own, inaccurate, assumptions and unwarranted political commentary into the posting. Since then others have reposted and altered the digital document to promote misinformation supporting their own agenda.

Q17: Does this exercise prohibit the federal military from enforcing state laws.?

A17: No. Jade Helm is a military training exercise conducted on public and private land with the permission of the private landowners, and from state and local authorities. U.S. Army personnel will not be used as domestic law enforcement. All exercise activity will take place on pre- coordinated public and private lands.

Q18: Are foreign troops participating in training exercise Jade Helm?

A18: No foreign troops are participating in the training exercise.

Q19: What about rumors of martial law? Does this exercise cross that line?

A19: No. Training exercise Jade Helm does not have anything to do with martial law. Its sole purpose it to train U.S. Special Operations Forces in their core skill sets for future use overseas.

Q20: Does this exercise violate the Posse Comitatus Act (The act prohibits the federal military from enforcing state laws.)?

A20: No. Jade Helm is a military training exercise conducted on public and private land with the permission of the private landowners, and from state and local authorities. U.S. Army personnel will not be used as domestic law enforcement. All exercise activity will take place on pre- coordinated public and private lands.

Q21: What is the process to ensure transparency and to ensure the public is informed about this exercise ahead of time?

A21: It is Army Special Operations Command policy to inform public ahead of any training exercise to alert them of potential disruptions such as noise or to allay fears from seeing uniformed soldiers in public. The first step of that process begins with briefings to local counties and municipalities that may be included in the exercise. All counties and municipalities were informed in accordance with their procedures and applicable laws. All briefings were held in public, with counties and municipalities providing weeks of notice for posting to public agendas. These briefings are designed to both inform and obtain approval. Some counties asked for follow-up briefings in order to allow citizens to ask questions as well. Once coordination with these municipalities has

been done, Army public affairs works with them on the most appropriate approach to notifying the public, including posting releases in local newspapers and on television. USASOC will continue to work with the counties and municipalities to ensure information gets out ahead of the exercise.

Q22. What will be the environmental impact from this exercise?

A22. Prior to every military exercise, the environmental impact of the exercise is taken into account. As this exercise is taking place in seven states, and several regular military training locations, there is minimal additional impact than from regular training in that area. There will be no heavy military equipment involved in this exercise.

Q23. How will this exercise affect the public and local community?

A23. All exercise activity will primarily take place on private land and in certain instances pre- coordinated public land. The public can expect nothing much different from their day-to-day activities since much of the exercise will be conducted in remote areas. There will be economic gain; an increase in the local economy, in fuel and food purchases and hotel lodging.

Q24: How much noise will be associated with the exercise?

A24: We are extremely sensitive to the impact such exercises have on local citizens and we intend to train safely and courteously. However, some training events will produce limited noise but these events will occur in remote areas on private land. Personnel will use "blank" training ammunition and other training devices to make the exercise as realistic as possible. We are taking every measure to reduce any amount of noise associated with the exercise.

Q25: Colorado was originally part of the exercise and now is not listed in the states involved. Did Colorado Opt out?

A25: Colorado did not opt out. The original scenario had some activities in Colorado but was altered after real world contingency operations required changing the principal training audience from the Colorado based 10^th Special Forces Group to another unit. Because of this shift in units, there are currently no live, constructive, or virtual actives in Colorado for Jade Helm 15. It is anticipated that Colorado will be included in future exercises specifically involving 10^th SFG (A) as the primary training audience.
