From Larkspur to Idaho Falls, civilians were aghast as armored machines, intimidating in their cold, iron mass, rolled unchecked through their neighborhoods. Images and videos of these unexpected guests were catapulted into the online realm, raising the eyebrows of thousands, if not millions, of netizens.
“Why are they rolling the tanks into the streets of cities? Is something bad about to happen..?!” exclaimed one Twitter user, echoing the sentiments of many. An undeniable question lingered in the air:
WHAT IS GOING ON?
B-2 Spirit stealth bombers were spotted flying over Minnesota
BREAKING NEWS! Military landing in suburban neighbors in Larksper California.
It’s an annual affair, they say – a seasonal dance of the National Guard, an elaborate exercise that simulates mass casualty events and active shooter scenarios. But how are we to know, when our trusted leaders remain tight-lipped and their silence hangs heavy on the citizens they’ve sworn to protect?
An army of self-proclaimed experts attempted to extinguish the firestorm of speculation. The planes, they argued, were standard fare for any state visit by the President. The tanks and helicopters, they assured us, were nothing more than routine military drills. Yet, without an official statement, how can we trust these assurances?
On the flip side, some users offered up more comforting theories. One such individual, who claimed to have participated in state-level simulations, urged calm: “Everybody calm down.” They argued that the observed military activities were part of cross-agency training to assess the effectiveness of multiple authorities during crises.
But isn’t that what they always say?
Training exercises.
Routine drills.
Perhaps, as these events continue to escalate, we might begin to ask ourselves: is there something more to this than meets the eye? Might this be the calm before the storm, an ominous portent that is more than just a simulation?
As the confusion mounts and the official silence deepens, the citizens are left to grapple with this uneasy reality. The unsettling presence of these military assets, their sheer might visible in broad daylight, has unsettled the tranquility of our towns and cities.
The digital age has granted us the power to question and to seek out our own truths. We are no longer passive receivers of information but active seekers of truth. In the face of uncertainty, we won’t be placated by assurances from so-called experts. The footage doesn’t lie: something is happening, and it’s time we knew the full story.

From my youngest days I remember convoys of military vehicles during summer national guard training. Likely nothing of concern. Be more worried about cells of Chinese military inside of country coming from open border blending in with native population.
Justin Trudeau has declared war on the state of Idaho, sending in the Dudley Do-Right brigade.
