As you read the article, take note of the typical MSM newspeak regarding "rightwing" issues.
How does the MSM spin their news? let me count the newspeaky words....
Ultra-right wing fears..fears of a government takeover...far-right fringe movement...Ultra-libertarian ...
Question: Has the MSM ever referred to extreme leftists as well....extreme leftists? Ultra-liberals? Ultra-Left wing fears???Or Far-left fringe movement?
Also, why would our military train in the states to make sure they could blend in with the population without them noticing? Are we going to war against a bunch of Americans overseas? I'm not a conspiracy theorist. I don't like to talk or write about things I can't prove. But me thinks the Pentagon doth protest too much and when you are trying to lead your audience into thinking these fears are nothing more than far-right fringe groups it makes you wonder. My concern is not that they are training for a government takeover, my concern is are not revealing the truth about these training exercises because...well, does anyone in government tell the truth anymore? It's not just the far-right fringe that knows their government is lying to them.
Just 13% of Americans say the government can be trusted to do what is right always or most of the time, with just over three-quarters saying only some of the time and one in 10 saying they never trust the government, according to the poll. This is from CNN, not exactly pulling from the far-right fringe...

Plans for a 17-city Army Special Operations exercise in Texas stirred some ultra-right-wing fears of a government takeover in the Lone Star State, but local law enforcement say they've long been aware of the drill.
Operation Jade Helm will bring a coalition of forces, including the Green Berets, SEALS, and special operations commands from the Air Force and Marines to Texas for two months of "realistic military training" in a simulated "hostile" territory between July and September this summer.
Army Special Operation Command spokesman Mark Lastoria said soldiers would practice "emerging concepts in special operations warfare" in Texas.
"Training exercise Jade Helm is going to assist our Special Operations Soldiers in refining the skills needed against an ever changing foreign threat," he said.
Among the planned exercises, soldiers will try to operate undetected amongst civilian populations in some towns and cities where residents will be advised to report any suspicious activity they notice as a means of testing the military's effectiveness, said county law enforcement officials who had been briefed by the Army.
"They're going to set up cells of people and test how well they're able to move around without getting too noticed in the community," said Roy Boyd, chief deputy with the Victoria County Sheriff's Office. "They're testing their abilities to basically blend in with the local environment and not stand out and blow their cover."
