Greg Abbott announced he was ordering the Texas National Guard to monitor a Navy SEAL/Green Beret joint training exercise, which was taking place in Texas and several other states.[/quote] [quote]It seems there is concern among some folks that this so-called training maneuver is just a cover story. What's really going on? President Obama is about to use Special Forces to put Texas under martial law. [/quote] [quote]It's true that the paranoid world-view of right-wing militia types has remarkable stamina. But that's not news. What is news is that there seem to be enough of them in Texas to influence the governor of the state to react — some might use the word pander — to them.[/quote] And some sanity: [quote]"Your letter pandering to idiots ... has left me livid," former State Rep. Todd Smith wrote Gov. Abbott. "I am horrified that I have to choose between the possibility that my Governor actually believes this stuff and the possibility that my Governor doesn't have the backbone to stand up to those who do."[/quote]

God Bless Texas. We must rid the obongo

I read it as "Oklahoma takeover." I still wouldn't trust Oklahoma. ...he did what?

gotta stand up to that president in cahoots with the islams

The Texas State Guard is not the National Guard. The letter the former Rep sent references the activation of the State Guard. Which is entirely a state-owned military. The National Guard are both federal and state troops. Anyway, this all sounds crazy.

can anyone tell me what purpose there would even be to put texas under martial law?

This is Jade Helm: [img]http://i.imgur.com/ttAlNCK.jpg[/img] It turns a chunk of the US into pretend hostile/friendly nations. It's not the first time something like this has been done. A lot of people got their panties in a knot because the Baddies/Good Guy countries are very similar to the political Red/Blue states. So [I]Obviously[/I] its a strike against republicans from that Muslim Obama. [editline]3rd May 2015[/editline] Terrible choice of words, though.

Here is a good source that appear to be correct. [url]http://www.armytimes.com/story/military/2015/04/30/texas-guard-jade-helm/26603719/[/url] The other news sources appear to have been sensationalizing the news of this letter more and more. Here is the letter the Governor sent to the State Guard. [url]http://gov.texas.gov/files/press-office/20150428125759.pdf[/url] I don't see anything in this letter that says he fears federal takeover or anything. It appears hes just asking the State Guard to help the federal military in working with the locals for the areas where this is happening.

This is ridiculous. This kinda reminds me of when you're a little kid and you're playing games with your friends, and everyone wants to be the cool guy or something. So someone gets upset because they ended up as a shit character.

My paranoid as ever state, god bless.. :words: Guess we better set the Tin Foil Hat phasers to maximum overdrive, that way we can be ready for the imaginary war! :tinfoil:

That does not sound like he's sending the state guard to help the feds do their training.

Why does where I live have to be the insurgent pocket in California. Seriously.

One of my facebook friends in Texas claims that the Wal-Marts shutting down (one of them was in his region) is all part of this grand conspiracy. "I see tons of plumbing trucks but no contractors or permits HMMMM", etc. etc. Shoulda seen him flip his shit when a trailer full of Humvees was stopped in that Wal-Mart's parking lot. :v:

Since they get to keep their rank they had in the federal military it leads to a very odd structure. I'm sure the deployment was just a bit of pandering but I seriously doubt the governor actually believes any of it. He probably figured that the paranoids would see the State Guard as someone trustworthy and not have any incidents. Plus it probably helps USSOCOM by freeing up resources they would have otherwise had to have used doing PR at the local level. I live in Texas. I don't know of anyone who believes the federal military or government would do any of the things listed in the NPR news report. Sure, there are thru and thru Republicans and people who are very serious about their religious beliefs. But none of them that I know believe any of this crap.

Shit are you ready guys NWO kicking in soon, get ready for your FEMA camps!!

Ehh I doubt the government would try shit, especially with how easily the Baltimore Kerfuffle came about.

It's all coming together - the FEMA Detention centers, the guberment's mass purchase of coffins, Walmarts shutting down to starve out the people, operation Jade Helm - a violent take over is going to happen. President obongo knows his term is up and he wants to continue ruling our lands as a reptilian oppressor. All levels of the guberment have been infiltrated by reptilian agents and now they will strike. A violent take over is imminent.

These people are going to feel really stupid when another president comes to power and the world still isn't on fire.

depressing

"And of course the LAMESTREAM MEDIA, which the Washington Post would be part of, would never tell a LIE or pacify you while you are being surrounded by Jade Helm (blue helmet?, U.N Military?). Wake up America, This is not the America you grew up in." mmm there's nothing worse than blue berets to the average tea partier

my favorite part about people who complain about the "mainstream media" is that they usually watch/are a part of fox news which IIRC is the most watched television news in america
