Jade Helm 15: how to turn military exercises into martial law.

The paranoid Obama-haters are claiming Obama's military will establish martial law in some southwest states. They claim martial law is being established because Russia is arming insurgents in this area. Russia is doing so in retribution for the US arming Georgia and Ukraine. It's all supposed to happen this summer!

Enjoy their distraction!

in major American Cities...? With Shari'a law already established in the back rooms of hookah bars, wasn't Obama supposed to nuke Charlestn as the false flag to invoke martial law in the South?

These things always give me the creeps when you realize that all the interests that would actually want to carry out something like this - like Blackwater or major defense contractors - would want to see the GOP in charge. The Obama martial law woul do what - strike down racist voter ID laws? Methinks this is projection of a rightwing(nut) fantasy coup.

They would probably have steam coming out of their ears.

heat will rise and sparks and smoke coming out the ears. I can see that.

I say eventually they side with Russia, because they hate the POTUS that much!

Plus Pooty poot appeals to their machismo side.
