The World Has Gone Insane

I have seen several reports of an upcoming training exercise called Jade Helm 15.  Apparently it is causing much concern among some folks.  I don't know a thing about those that have raised the 'alarm' about this.  Our Governor has directed the State Guard to monitor the training.  Is this grandstanding or pandering to the conspiracy theorists?

Then there's this... 

Since General Sam Houston executed his famous retreat to glory to defeat the superior forces of General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna, Texas has been ground zero for military training. We have so many military bases in the Lone Star State we could practically attack Russia.  Rest of the story

Did you see this story about jihadists shooting at an event in Texas on your local news?  No?  I didn't either.

Also heard another story by word of mouth from a couples son that attends a major land grant university east of here.  A shooting yesterday by a minority person that didn't make the news.  Since I can't verify, I am reluctant to give anymore info.

Some of this seems to be a thing the media would just jump on for a story, yet nothing.  It certainly wouldn't play into their current methods of operation to do so though.  We here more about the things like Baltimore and Ferguson, but not a word about Islam attacking us or black on white crime.

Has the world gone nuts or am I just very naive?  It is the internet though, so it just HAS to be true.  As they say, the truth is probably somewhere in between.

Locked an Loaded anyway.  Happy Trails.
