So What Is Operation Jade Helm Really All About?

Herschel Smith of the Captains Journal and Mike Vanderboegh of Sipseystreetirregulars have it nailed.
"Of the claims I have seen, it is obvious that every ridiculous piece of disinformation from the 90s has been resurrected for this one, including the old hoary “rail cars with shackles” canard. Personally, were I a militia unit commander in the Jade Helm Area of Operations, I would take the advice above and have my folks — in civilian clothes — follow, watch and learn. Monitor, to the extent that it is possible, their movements. Observe their tactics. Document them. After-action analyze what you learn. I doubt very seriously if you will be able to monitor their communications, but much can be learned — especially by your friendly sources within local law enforcement in the AO — about what is happening." more
Especially for Patriots, in Jade Helm 15s AO and outside of it, it's important for us to build positive relationships with the police and to learn what the military learns on this FTX (field training exercise).
Keep your eyes and ears open. Record and report to your local Patriot unit anything that you observe.

Patriot covert surveillance of military FTX in U.S.

I guarantee you that building positive relations with the police in your community and learning the regime's order of battle (OB) and intelligence preparation of the battlefield (IPB) will help us most excellently as we Patriots restore the Republic in the near future.
Or you could just freak out like that clown Alex Jones is doing.
Your choice.
Choose wisely.

Patriots: Organize, Prepare, Train!
