JADE HELM is NOT "an ordinary training drill"

Let's consider the case of this article (Jade Helm 15: Prelude to False Flag and Martial Law) and its author, Robert O'Dowd. Although I had not read any of his work at VT before, I thought it was raising a perfectly appropriate issue as to whether or not JADE HELM, which is an operation that covers at least seven states (and now seems to have expanded to five or six more) could possibly be the cover for imposing martial law under the pretext of conducting operations in urban settings, which are meant to train personnel "for foreign operations", where nothing about this has struck me as right from the beginning. As a consequence, I was glad to see he had published about it...

Gordon Duff and Jim Dean were wrong to censor Robert O'Dowd, whose article was entirely appropriate for a journal devoted to "clandestine activities". JADE HELM is not a "training op" but something far more serious. When you calculate the profits per store to Walmart and to Target, they are taking an enormous hit, which can only be for some transcendent purpose that override "the conduct of business as usual". (We are talking about billions of dollars in lost profits, not to mention the loss of highly qualified, experienced personnel to stock products, to resupply those facilities and to process check outs and deliveries)...

Several features of "the big picture" strike me as enormously important. Walmart and Target are stores with mass appeal for the middle and lower class of both Canadian and American society. That some 15 Walmarts should be taken over in the United States alone and now another 133 Targets in Canada is alarming!

There is nothing "bogus" about this story. And other sources, such as David Hodges' "Common Sense Show" have made equally telling observations about the redistribution of resources for a purported "training op" when it entails the dismissal of 17,000 employees, who no doubt are being left in desperate straits...
