The extremely controversial Jade Helm 15 military exercise, which is scheduled to run from July 15th to September 15th in at least seven states, including “hostile” Texas, will be entirely off-limits to reporters, according to a military spokesperson.
In fact, even the Washington Post was denied coverage of the domestic operation which some believe will lead to a martial law takeover of America.
Embedded reporters won’t be permitted at any point during the exercise, in which military officials say that secretive Special Operations troops will maneuver through private and publicly owned land in several southern states. Lt. Col. Mark Lastoria, a spokesman for Army Special Operations Command, said his organization is considering allowing a small number of journalists to view selected portions of the exercise later this summer, but nothing is finalized.
“All requests from the media for interviews and coverage of U.S. Army Special Operations Command personnel, organizations and events are assessed for feasibility and granted when and where possible,” Lastoria said in a statement released Wednesday to The Washington Post.
“We are dedicated to communicating with the public, while balancing that against the application of operations security and other factors.”
The exercise is scheduled for July 15 through September 15 and is expected to include more than 1,200 troops. Army Special Operations Command announced the exercise in March, saying its size and scope would set it apart from most training exercises.
For months, some protesters have said Jade Helm is setting the stage for future martial law. Those fears have been mocked by comedians such as Jon Stewart and others, and the U.S. military has tried to reassure people about the exercise.
Why are the media now being banned from what the military has insisted is nothing more than a training exercise for the younger recruits to learn combat in urban settings?
The Jade Helm exercise, which was originally set to consist of more than 1200 Special Operations (Spec Ops) personnel has been talked about amongst conspiracy theorists and members of the general public for months now.
Due to this public outcry, U.S. Army Lt. Col. Mark Lastoria has announced that the operation will be slimmed down to a mere 200 Spec Ops forces and 300 support personnel.
An additional “seven hundred” personnel will be deployed to Texas in August for “five days”, as reported by the Washington Post.
We are dedicated to communicating with the public, while balancing that against the application of operations security and other factors, ” Lastoria told the Washington Post in a cryptic sort of way after shooting down the idea of any embedded journalists covering the action.
During the exercise military personnel, dressed like civilians, will move amongst the populace undetected according to documentation already presented.
So these soldiers will be camouflaged among us, the citizenry unaware they could be in the presence of a soldier in a military exercise.

When things are out of balance,
there is a great tendency for things not to work.
Too much stress makes you sick while too much rest makes you lazy.
Too much spending makes you a shopaholic while too much saving makes you a hoarder.
Too much eating makes you fat while too much dieting makes you skinny.
Too much emphasis on prosperity does not necessarily imply it is a sign of God's favor. Too much emphasis on poverty as a sign of closeness to God is equally erroneous. Both extremes are not good ways to understand how God's kingdom principles work.
But there is one thing that you will not get out of balance when it comes to the assurance of your salvation or eternal life for it is the most important gift that you must receive from God especially now that we are in the last days.
Speaking of the last days is the reason for this blog and to make us aware of any impending perils or disasters that might caught us off guard. We must be able to discern the signs of times by knowing and validate the current news around the globe and always be prepared more than ever for the soon coming of our Lord "Jesus Christ," the King of kings and the Lord of lords.
To Christians and servants of God: While the purpose of this blog is to prepare us both spiritually and physically and to make necessary preparations before any emergency or crisis could happen, do not be caught up or paranoid and be scared of the date and times about any impending perils or disasters but instead be more useful to God. Doing what you are told to do in season or out season especially in sharing and preaching the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. Though no one knows about the exact time or date of the Rapture or His soon return, let us be watchful and spiritually vigilant, always abounding in the work of the Lord knowing that your labor of love will not be in vain, be the salt and light in this dark world. God bless us and always be guided and empowered by His Holy Spirit.

Biblical
Perspective:
"And
ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye
be not troubled: for all these things must come to
pass, but the end is not
yet.
For
nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against
kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences,
and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are
the beginning of
sorrows.
And
this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all
the world for a witness unto all nations; and then
shall the end come. (Matt. 24:6,7,8,14)
"And
as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this
the judgment," (Heb. 9:27)
"...behold, now is the accepted time; behold,
now is the day of salvation. (2 Cor. 6:2)
