The secret military activity called Jade Helm 15, which sent Texas on edge for fear of a creeping military invasion, has already began with a series of exercises covering seven U.S. southwestern states. No untoward incidents were reported, which - if conspiracy theorists are to believed - would include trains with shackles, Walmart stores as operation sites and the deployment of massive troops and military gear, among others - all purportedly paving the way for a federal takeover.
HNGN has reported earlier that the cause of the ruckus in Texas was a map showing the seven participating states, color coded according to the anticipated degree of hostility towards the operation. The map showed California as "Leaning Friendly" while Texas was unceremoniously labelled as "Hostile" territory. The tension in Texas was further heightened when Gov. Greg Abott provided the high-profile platform to the rumors when he ordered the Texas State Guard to monitor the exercise to guarantee that Texans' "safety, constitutional rights, private property rights and civil liberties will not be infringed," Amarillo Globe New reported.
Media organizations have been on the lookout for developments as the story became an international sensation early this week. No stories have emerged so far confirming initial fears but the Inquisitr identified unusual "chatter" about service and power outages in the identified states, which is allegedly the first stage in the allegedly sinister operation that would culminate into "total population control." Many Texans are also exercising extreme vigilance as they monitor military installations in Texas. Organization of volunteers that would follow military vehicles is underway just in case the "take-over" take place, according to The New York Times.
The military has assured the public that the operation is merely a training exercise for Special Operations personnel in unconventional warfare. It was said to be modeled after the French Resistance during the Nazi occupation of France, according to The New York Times
