What does "Mastering the human domain" mean?The Common Sense Show – by Dave Hodges

From July 15th to September 15th, 2015,the U.S. Army Special Operations Command is conducting a massive military drill in an area covering the entire American  Southwest. At first glance, I thought this drill was a response to the massive military drills being conducted by Russia. I wrongly assumed that Jade Helm 15 was a drill designed to protect the Southwest from an invasion by Russian-backed Latin American military forces (i.e. Red Dawn). However, after reading the operational plan of Jade Helm, it is clear that this drill is about the brutal martial subjugation of the people of Texas, Utah and Southern California who have risen up against some unspecified tyranny. Further, this drill is also about martial law being used as a preventative measure in states which “might” lean towards civil war against the United States government (i.e. California, Nevada, Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico).   Continue reading “The Jade Helm 15 Drill is a Martial Law, Civil War and “Red List” Extraction Drill”

There’s no reason to believe Obama will be any different.   Continue reading “Ex-Clinton administration official floats Obama’s name for the Supreme Court”

American military officials admitted to members of Congress that they have lost track of millions in small arms, ammunition, night vision goggles, patrol boats, vehicles and other supplies donated by the US to the Yemeni government.

The US has supplied more than $500 million in military aid to Yemen since 2007 through programs managed by the Defense Department and State Department. But in January, the Yemeni government was toppled by Shiite Houthi rebels, backed by Iran and critical of US drones strikes in the country, who also took over government military bases in the north.   Continue reading “‘Compromised & gone’: Pentagon lost $500mn of weapons, equipment in Yemen”

WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate Republicans are putting down a marker with their budget blueprint, one day after the House GOP unveiled a 10-year plan that boosts the military, makes deep cuts in social programs and targets President Barack Obama’s laws on health care and financial reforms.

Slated for release Wednesday afternoon, the GOP senators’ companion measure contains greater cost cuts to Medicare — $431 billion over the coming decade, which matches Obama’s savings if not his policies — but doesn’t call for the dramatic transformation of the program for future beneficiaries that House Republicans are pushing.   Continue reading “Senate, House GOP differ on savings approach to Medicare”

BONNE TERRE, Mo. (AP) — A Missouri death row inmate has been executed for the shooting death of a sheriff’s deputy, after the U.S. Supreme Court and the state’s governor declined to spare the 74-year-old who attorneys said had a diminished mental capacity because of a brain injury.

Cecil Clayton was put to death Tuesday by lethal injection after Gov. Jay Nixon denied a clemency request and the nation’s high court turned aside appeals claiming Clayton was mentally incompetent. The Missouri Supreme Court, in a 4-3 ruling, already had declined to intervene, with the court’s majority concluding last weekend there was no evidence Clayton wasn’t capable of understanding his circumstances. The U.S. Supreme Court was also divided, with four judges saying they would have granted a stay.   Continue reading “Missouri executes man after high court declines to intervene”
