HOUSTON (AP) -- More than a foot of rain had fallen by Monday evening in parts of Houston, submerging scores of subdivisions and several major interstate highways, forcing the closure of schools and knocking out power to thousands of residents who were urged to shelter in place.
My aunt lives in the suburb just NE of Houston in a town called Humble (pronounced Umble). I lived in Houston a couple of years after hurricane Katrina destroyed my home in New Orleans. So far, the flooding on the NE side hasn't been too bad. Downtown Houston is pretty inaccessible though and more rain is expected over the next couple of days.
"Urged to shelter in place" ?!.. Where have I heard that one before ? Hurricane Katrina maybe ??? Most people in the United States are unaware FEMA and Homeland Security has no plan to evacuate the population of a major city under
any circumstances. Hurricane, earthquake, nuclear plant accident, chemical or biological terrorist attack, nuclear war, whatever... The plan is the same... "Shelter in Place". Oh ! With the possible exception of our nation's capital. That the politicians have a plan for, (excluding the civilian population of D.C. of course).
As a former sheriff deputy and fire captain for eight years, I can tell you for a fact, FEMA has issued radiological dose pens and measurement equipment (meters) to every police, fire and emergency medical department in every major city in the United States. If you live in a city with a population over 70,000 thousand, your local government has this equipment ready. All city and county police and emergency personnel will be federalized. In the event of a nuclear attack, war, or catastrophic natural disaster, the plan is "Containment", or the euphemism for the mass sacrifice of civilian lives.. "Shelter in Place".
That was the
real purpose of the Jade Helm 15 exercise. It was a dress rehearsal drill for the dispersal of U.S. forces to remote locations on private land throughout the South West United States away from military bases that will be targeted in the event of a nuclear war. The U.S. government cover story was, it was done in order to train ground forces for future deployment overseas. Does that story even make sense ???
Why was the exercise not carried out on military bases where combat has been simulated and combat training has traditionally been conducted in the past ? Why were only elite special forces troops involved, instead of regular infantry that would have benefitted more from that kind of special training ? Why were FEMA, Homeland Security and state law enforcement agencies included in the exercise ? From the standpoint of overseas combat training, nothing about the Jade Helm 15 operation makes any sense.
The truth is, the special forces involved in Jade Helm 15 were training as "pathfinder" units. Their mission was to prepare remote locations to receive one million U.S. ground forces that will be dispersed throughout the United States in the event of a nuclear attack.
When the government starts taking steps like this to prepare for the Apocalypse, I think the rest of us can safely assume the worst is about to happen.
