There's a whole lot of crazy going on in Texas

Texas Governor Deploys State Guard To Stave Off Obama Takeover

Since General Sam Houston executed his famous retreat to glory to defeat the superior forces of General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna, Texas has been ground zero for military training. We have so many military bases in the Lone Star State we could practically attack Russia.

So when rookie Texas Gov. 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, everybody here looked up from their iPhones. What?

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.

Let's walk over by the fence where nobody can hear us, and I'll tell you the story.

You see, there are these Wal-Marts in West Texas that supposedly closed for six months for "renovation." That's what they want you to believe. The truth is these Wal-Marts are going to be military guerrilla-warfare staging areas and FEMA processing camps for political prisoners. The prisoners are going to be transported by train cars that have already been equipped with shackles.

Don't take my word for it. That comes directly from a Texas Ranger, who seems pretty plugged in, if you ask me. You and I both know President Obama has been waiting a long time for this, and now it's happening. It's a classic false flag operation. Don't pay any attention the mainstream media; all they're going to do is lie and attack everyone who's trying to tell you the truth.

...

Former Texas Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst tried to put it in perspective for outsiders when he explained, "Unfortunately, some Texans have projected their legitimate concerns about the competence and trustworthiness of President Barack Obama on these noble warriors. This must stop."

Another former Republican politician was a bit more pointed.

"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."

Maybe it's something in the water.

We have some real idiots here in Texas.

Sometimes we elect a well meaning one gets voted into office too.

His heart is in the right place even if his brain isn't.

Hell.

There are enough AK's and AR's in Texas alone to field a hell of a army...and GOD alone knows what else!

The GOP has gone to hell in a tea party hand basket. The Natives say it's a matter of time before they get their country back.

Well, he should be able to handle the SEALS and Green Berets all by himself!

A lot of white folks are suffering from Obama Derangement Disorder. One sees evidence of the malady on the Politics Board.

President Cruz, instead of being sensible as an elected official, is fanning the flames.

"I have no reason to doubt those assurances, but I understand the reason for concern and uncertainty, because when the federal government has not demonstrated itself to be trustworthy in this administration, the natural consequence is that many citizens don’t trust what it is saying.”

 

[Wrong Element]

I don't think it's really a good sign for our politics that so many people in the second-largest state, including those in that state's government, are literally insane.

I just want to know what is reeeeeeeeely behind the closure of all those Walmarts.

Is this "story" being reported anywhere that a sane person would trust?

The story that the multistate military training exercise is happening, yes. The story that some Texans are spinning insane CTs about it, yes. The story that there might possibly be anything of substance to the CTs, no.

Raw Story had this.

Ted Cruz questioned Pentagon over nutty Jade Helm rumors because ‘the government is not trustworthy’

“My office has reached out to the Pentagon to inquire about this exercise,” said Cruz while appearing at the South Carolina Republican Party’s annual convention. “We are assured it is a military training exercise. I have no reason to doubt those assurances, but I understand the reason for concern and uncertainty, because when the federal government has not demonstrated itself to be trustworthy in this administration, the natural consequence is that many citizens don’t trust what it is saying.”

If you can't trust the Senator from Texas, who can you trust?

 

[Sean Renaud]

I don't want to live on this planet anymore.

Bring me this Ted Cruz fellow. I think when you've gotten to the point that a US Senator isn't calling people retarded for worrying about a government coup you deserve this.

How would he even go about it? The military in most cases at least seems to skew Republican, Constitutional and pro-freedom. I'm pretty sure Obama ordering the military to attack Texas of all places (where a disproportionate amount of them are from) would if he was lucky result in "eh, nope. Not doing that." And in reality would probably go much, much worse.

what di you expect from an N PEE R hit piece?


As this WaPo article — from last week — explains, Abbott sent the State Guard (not the Texas National Guard, as the NRP story originally claimed) to observe (not “stave off,” as the NPR article still wrongly claims) federal military maneuvers (not a “takeover” as the NPR article still wrongly claims). The WaPo story also explains why, for safety reasons, it’s a good idea for state officials to know about these exercises. Compare the treatment by WaPo — hardly an Abbott-friendly organ — with the NPR piece by Wade Goodwyn, which seems designed to produce agitprop headlines for Dems to share with each other over social media. Now note which one is supported by your tax dollars.
