Fears of martial law as special ops set to swarm Southwest and operate undetected among civilians who've been deemed HOSTILE in massive military exercise | Daily Mail Online

Are you OK with military hiding in plain sight, 'playing' some sort of wargames? whats the real plan?

subego · Mar 28, 2015, 10:46 PM

They're not really hiding if we're told they're going to be there several months in advance.

I'm not sure you can swarm and remain undetected very easily either. Good old Daily Fail trying hard to be middle England's answer to Fox News. At least they don't have a TV channel.

Actually, even FOX didn't want to touch this.

Different countries, different hot buttons.

I expect a few at Fox had breakdowns trying to decide whether this was "Military = Good" or "Government = Bad" and ultimately they couldn't work it out so decided not to bother.

And as I've said before, try and figure this out if you're secretly a New Yorker.

With the tourist season approaching, hiding in plain sight will be easy.

The question is what are they really up to?
Capture the flag, or capture the legislature?

subego · Mar 30, 2015, 10:43 AM

Flag.

I'd put money on it.

Megyn Kelly did have a segment on her show.

And in continuing news, two men disguised as women tried to ram their way into Ft. Meade and the NSA campus outside DC.
1 dead, 1 wounded.

I stand corrected.

During the "throw" from Kelly to the guy filing the report, his smirk is priceless.

He's not hiding what a joke he thinks this is.

Do you believe the Second Amemdment acts as a check against tyranny?

If you do, then it can act as a check against this penny-ante shit.

If this is too much for the Second Amendment to handle, then we need to rethink its utility as a check against tyranny.

BadKosh · Apr 17, 2015, 02:20 PM

But it has to happen with just about everyone with a gun to work, not just a few, which would be labeled as wack jobs. It also should be 'aimed' at the political leaders and their property, not the military or police. If either did open up on civilians I don't know how civil we'd continue to be.

subego · Apr 17, 2015, 02:40 PM

That's the point.

This is likely a training exercise. If it is, then who cares? Don't we want the military to train?

If it's not a training exercise, which is what I'm assuming the implication is here, then civilians stop being civil about it. This makes it even more likely it's just a training exercise.

A training exercise on how to do deal with a "civilian uprising" in the USA.

No, just in Texas.

We're safe.
