Count me as one that became very skeptical about any conspiracy theory I had heard about. Thanks, Alex Jones. Thanks, George Noory. The problem is that after awhile, one gets tired of doing google searches on everything we hear or read about. And in addition, another problem is the commercial saturation, and all the wonderful products you could purchase to survive all that was predicted to come our way. (And, may I add, never did!) Global economic collapse? Buy your gold and silver here! Natural disasters coming our way? Get your survival food good for 25 years (and don't forget to pick up your solar powered generator while you're here)! Let's not forget about the coming police state and jackbooted thugs breaking down your door: We have guns and ammo for you!
So, I'm a complete skeptic. Well, I was, anyway, but as it goes for those of us that do occasionally dig deeper, I found some plausible information that I must share with my fellow skeptics. I guess I have to admit that sometimes, I have to actually be skeptical about my skepticism, and that there may be a good reason to find out that not everything we are told by our mainstream media and government is quite accurate:
It's time for those of us who have been reluctant to consider the possibility that our own government (and the governments of Israel and Great Britain) could actually be complicit in domestic terrorism in order to further a nefarious agenda to at least stop accepting the government and media’s version of these tragedies at face value. For the most part, the mainstream media is little more than a propaganda ministry for the federal government. We haven’t seen true objective investigative journalism since before the death of John F. Kennedy.
Granted, not every national tragedy is part of a government conspiracy--and there is a plethora of "conspiracy nuts" out there to whom EVERYTHING is a conspiracy and through which we must wade to try to ascertain the truth. These people make it difficult for all of us. The Internet has provided the Chicken Littles of the world with an opportunity to play journalist. And their “everything's-a-conspiracy” rants only serve to mask the true conspiracies and turn the average John Doe away from the truth. That’s why I believe that many of these “conspiracy-everywhere” Internet bloggers are actually PART OF THE CONSPIRACY. Their job is to make genuine whistleblowers and researchers look like conspiracy “kooks.” Then, of course, there are genuine kooks out there, too.
Regardless, the similarities and "coincidences" of many of these national tragedies are just too numerous for rational people to ignore. I believe Mr. Swift's analysis is very intelligent, coherent, and plausible.
There is a difference between hysteria and being concerned and wanting answers. This article is also typical of what's been swirling around the Internet:
"Since March 13, 2015 when All News PipeLine received and published the leaked Jade Helm 15 documents, a firestorm blew throughout the internet with Alternative Media exposing every possible connection, theory, danger and highlighting other disturbing military training exercises happening on US soil, many Americans have "woken up" to the very real possibility that the US government is actively preparing to lock down the country and declare martial law, whether it will happen during these planned exercises from July to September, or if these exercises are just one of the preparations for a later event.
"Below we will list the chronology of ANP coverage on Jade Helm by both Stefan Stanford, Susan Duclos and a reader submission, the strange announcement of multiple Walmart closings, some in Jade Helm states and the possible connection to Jade Helm, and the massive military movement being seen across America since Jade Helm was exposed to the public."
The link above has a whole list of stories about Jade Helm; no need to duplicate them here.
This article by Devvy Kidd is a good one for people to read that are not aware of JADE HELM 15. If you aren't yet familiar with JADE HELM 15, don't feel bad, it isn't something that is discussed on any of the mainstream news sources, not even on Fox News Channel (that I've seen, and I watch a lot of Fox News!). However, you can find a treasure-trove of information on the alternative news sources and talk radio.
The Internet has been raging like an inferno over this large special ops joint exercise to be held July 15 - September 15, 2015. I've read dozens and news items about Jade Helm. Web sites and radio hosts whipping people into a frenzy. On April 30, 2015, Dave Hodges, posted this: Closed Walmarts To Be Guerilla Warfare Staging Areas in Response to Invasion
Here is a video on youtube from TRUTHstreammedia:
I guess that you couldn't include me in the "whipped into a frenzy" crowd, but that doesn't mean that I don't have some particular concerns, some that Devvy covered in this column. My words of caution is that you need to be sure you aren't whipped into a frenzy just so some entrepreneur out there can sell more survival gear to you.
Thankfully, we do have that First Amendment, that pesky clause of the document that the Elites of the Shadow Government and New World Order would rather we didn't have. We can consider ourselves fortunate that we are free to gather and disseminate information, and free to listen to talk radio hosts, even if it is Alex Jones (Infowars.com) Just sayin'...
I live in Big Spring (West) Texas between Midland and Lubbock. Much to the shock of many in our small town, in April we found out Big Spring will be a 'Jade Helm 15' exercise location.
In early May military helicopters started flying over my house here and there for about a week. I speculated they were looking at the terrain for training spots. Although, I guess according to this article I'm supposed to be terrorized:
I have not seen any tanks. Yet. Texans scared of a few helicopters flying over? It does happen every once in a while. About 90 miles south of here is San Angelo where Goodfellow AFB is located and 120 miles east of here is Abeline where Dyess AFB is located. We don't swoon over a few helicopters.
We were not told about this 'event' until it was a done deal. While I wouldn't say there was a revolt, some are upset and vocal about it; hard to guess how many. Our idiot mayor told the local rag newspaper military officials had negotiated contracts with local landowners to conduct Jade Helm 15 exercises. No landowners are being forced to have training on their property. Any training on public land was worked out with regional authorities. A couple of landowners were quoted in the newspaper saying they would refuse to allow any military exercises on their land - not even for money. Hard to say how many also took that position.

In addition to bin Laden, one of his sons, two couriers and a woman died as she was used as a human shield when the soldiers stormed the house.
Former President George W. Bush said in a statement that he had personally been informed by Obama of the death of the terrorist leader whose attacks forever defined his eight years in office.
"This momentous achievement marks a victory for America, for people who seek peace around the world, and for all those who lost loved ones on September 11, 2001," the former president said.
"The fight against terror goes on, but tonight America has sent an unmistakable message: No matter how long it takes, justice will be done."
When I first heard the news and the President's statement, I was very happy about it. But, it hit me soon after: Do we really know it was Osama in Laden? They said a DNA test was done, and it was determined to be bin Laden. But there will always be questions. Not everyone is going to believe the government's story. I'm not sure I do or not yet. Do you? (Please see my latest update below. I DO believe we got bin Laden. He sleeps with the fish!)
(Reuters) - The body of al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden was taken to Afghanistan after he was killed in Pakistan and was later buried at sea, the New York Times reported on Monday.
Wait a minute... Something seems to be wrong with this story. What is going on?
I heard the news about the burial at sea while listening to Coast to Coast A.M. Monday morning. George Noory, the show's host, was incredulous about the fact that we don't have the body now. Callers to the show in the last few minutes after George had heard the news about the burial at sea from his colleague and frequent guest, Richard Hoagland, were just as incredulous, disbelieving, distrustful, doubtful, dubious, hesitant, mistrustful, questioning, skeptical, suspicious, uncertain, unconvinced, and/or wary as was George. There were many words that could describe the apprehensive response to this news. But every one of the callers and guests to Coast to Coast A.M. could only come up with one thought: Something is very wrong here!
Another update: I just heard that the other bin Laden associates killed along with the terror mastermind have NOT been buried yet (the Muslim tradition is to bury the body within 24 hours of death).
Another update (at 7:50 A.M. Central): I would not worry about the people that were worrying about Obama sleeping with the fish so quickly. No, I join ALL Americans in the victory rally today! We got the evil man, and let's celebrate! And my thanks to all of our military for all that they do. God bless America! Hoooo-Rah!
Al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden is dead and the U.S. has his body, according to U.S. and Pakistani officials.
The terror mastermind of al-Qaida repsonsible for the 9/11 attacks on America was shot in the head by U.S. forces in a mansion outside the Pakistani capital of Islamabad.
President Obama made the announcement in a national address late Sunday night from the White House, calling bin Laden a terrorist responsible for the murder of thousands of American men, women and children.
"Last August, after years of painstaking work by our intelligence community, I was briefed on a possible to lead to bin Laden. It was far from certain and it took many months to run this thread to the ground.
"Last week, I determined that we had enough intelligence to take action and authorized an operation to get Osama bin Laden, and bring him to justice. Today, at my direction, the United States launched a targeted operation against that compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan. A small team of Americans carried out the operation with extraordinary courage and capability. No Americans were harmed. They took care to avoid civilian casualties.
"After a firefight, they killed Osama bin Laden and took custody of his body," said Obama. "Justice has been done."
DNA testing confirmed that it was bin Laden, sources told ABC News.
His body is "being handled in accordance with Islamic practice and tradition," one senior administration official said. He is expected to be buried at sea.
The government has not said whether a photo of bin Laden will be released to the media as proof of his death.
Officials long believed the 54-year-old bin Laden, the most wanted man in the world, was hiding a mountainous region along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border.
Looking for somebody that you would like to see run for President in 2012? Somebody that isn't a professional politician, and that you could trust to be honest? Well, if your answers to these questions is "yes," then check this out!
"I have historically remained non-partisan, but as long as the United States remains a two-party system, it's increasingly hard to tell the difference between Republicans and Democrats. People are looking for someone in government to tell them the truth – we need that now more than ever," he said.
'I would not hesitate to make my birth certificate available'
Applicants for the Oval Office in 2012 already have begun lining up, just one year into President Obama's term, amid CBS poll results that overwhelming flunk the first-term Democrat and show a majority of Americans opposed to Obama's No. 1 agenda item – nationalized health care.
Among the possible candidates is Coast to Coast AM radio talk-show host George Noory, who told WND right away that there would be no questions about his eligibility as there are about Obama's qualifications under the Constitution's requirement that a president be a "natural born citizen."
"I was born in Detroit, Mich., in 1950, and I would not hesitate to make my birth certificate available to every member of the media," he said.
Obama has faced a long list of legal and other challenges alleging he either was not born in Hawaii as he has stated, or that he was not qualified because of his father's foreign citizenship at his birth.
Several of the challenges still are pending in various appellate level courts, and there has begun a move among the states to require candidates for the office of president to provide documentation of eligibility before being allowed on state ballots.
"I have never run for political office," he said, "but every night I am reaching out to millions of Americans on the radio and I am deeply concerned that the middle class of the United States is being sold out to multi-national corporations with a globalist agenda.
Brian Moody of ABC News Nightline does a great job in helping to describe what Coast to Coast A.M., a late-night radio show, now on 525 stations across the nation. Why the popularity? What is the show's purpose? Is there a common thread that runs through the genre of the show? These questions are answered in this great segment featuring the regular host, George Noory, and with a cameo appearance of Art Bell, the show's original creator. Some of the answers may shock you! You may just become a regular listener of the show, just like me.

Paranormal is part of a regular night for radio's most popular late night host.
Exodus 32:7-8 - Then the LORD said to Moses, "Go down, because your people, whom you brought up out of Egypt, have become corrupt. They have been quick to turn away from what I commanded them and have made themselves an idol cast in the shape of a calf..." But, cows with shiny eyes? Can you say, "(un)Holy cow!"? Sorry,it's a bit of disturbing humor.
