Jade Helm 15 Is Over And Obama Didn't Even Invade Texas!


At one point,

one-third of Republican voters (http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/poll-one-third-republicans-think-obama-wants-invade-texas)and

half of all Tea Party supporters (http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/poll-one-third-republicans-think-obama-wants-invade-texas) feared that the federal government was “trying to take over Texas,” with

another 28 percent of GOP voters saying that they were not sure whether or not the plot existed. :lol

Outlets such as WorldNetDaily and InfoWars, far-right sites that also regularly host Republican politicians, led the way in spreading the conspiracy theories.

But the theories soon spread beyond the far-right, and suddenly people had to debate whether the government would use secret tunnels, closed Walmart stores and cattle cars (http://talkingpointsmemo.com/muckraker/jade-helm-wild-conspiracy-theories) as part of an increasingly fantastical plot to eviscerate American freedom.

Unsurprisingly, the people who were pushing conspiracy theories about the military training exercise fell silent when it became clear that none of the scenarios they predicted had materialized. Jade Helm 15 proceeded as planned over the summer officially ended today without a federal takeover of Texas.

However, the exercise didn’t go without incident, as it was the target of violent (http://dailycaller.com/2015/08/05/authorities-shocked-as-shots-fired-again-at-camp-shelby/) attacks (http://talkingpointsmemo.com/news/two-men-open-fire-mississippi-military-facility) and a deadly plot from far-right militants (http://www.al.com/news/index.ssf/2015/08/jade_helm_15_3_north_carolina.html) who thought (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-nation/wp/2015/08/05/how-federal-agents-foiled-a-murderous-jade-helm-15-retaliation-plot/) “that the federal government intended to use the armed forces to impose martial law in the United States.”

This was far from the first time that right-wing activists had cooked up strange theories about President Obama trying to wage war against the American public (http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/takeover-jade-helm-15-and-eight-other-obama-plots-keep-right-night). But this time, presidential candidates were fielding questions about the military exercise (http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/rand-paul-asked-about-military-coup-conspiracy-theory). Ted Cruz and Rick Perry used the conspiracy theories as a way to criticize Obama (http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/jade-helm-15-here-gop-politicians-who-encouraged-panic-over-president-obamas-texas-takeover), blaming him for the increasing fears about the exercise, while Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, repeatedly (http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/rep-gohmert-obama-blame-jade-helm-15-conspiracy-theories) suggested (http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/louie-gohmert-once-again-fuels-jade-helm-15-fears) that the exercise was designed by the Obama administration to vilify people living in conservative states like Texas.

Hysteria over Jade Helm exercise in Texas was fueled by Russians, former CIA director says

Gov. Greg Abbott's decision in 2015 to ask the Texas State Guard to monitor a federal military exercise prompted significant criticism.

A former CIA director said Wednesday that the move emboldened Russians to next target elections.

fueled by Russians wanting to dominate “the information space,” and that Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (https://www.texastribune.org/directory/greg-abbott/)'s decision to send the Texas State Guard to monitor the operation gave them proof of the power of such misinformation campaigns.

Michael Hayden, speaking on MSNBC’s Morning Joe podcast (https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/msnbc-morning-joe/e/54320967), chalked up peoples’ fear over Jade Helm 15 to “Russian bots and

the American alt-right media [that] convinced many Texans [Jade Helm] was an Obama plan to round up political dissidents.”

Abbott ordered the State Guard to monitor the federal exercise soon after news broke of the operation.

Hayden said that move gave Russians the go-ahead to continue — and possibly expand — their efforts to spread fear.

“At that point, I’m figuring the Russians are saying, ‘We can go big time,’” Hayden said of Abbott's response.

“At that point, I think they made the decision, ‘We’re going to play in the electoral process.’”

Eminent domain will happen. DJT will separate Texans from their land and access to their land. To build a shitty wall.

Matter of when not if, tbh.

LOL Trump voters ending up on the other side of the wall

[Winehole23]

They'll be cut off from the river and land close to it.

Purely sucks, for the owners.

[Winehole23]

Greg Abbott will do jack shit to protect us, totally unlike his pretense of protecting us from JADE HELM.

[Winehole23]

Meanwhile, DJT has discussed building actual concentration camps in Texas for the first time since WWII. The targeted undesirables are immigrants for the moment.

Tent cities in 1st world countries aren't concentration camps. Stop sensationalizing.

[Spirit Cooked Reck]

Tent cities in 1st world countries aren't concentration camps. Stop sensationalizing.

They're symbols of prosperity.

[Winehole23]

Tent cities in 1st world countries aren't concentration camps. Stop sensationalizing.They absolutely are. Look up the definition.

No different from the ones we built for Japanese and Germans during WWII.

Were those not concentration camps?

[Winehole23]

https://www.britannica.com/topic/concentration-camp

[Winehole23]

In WWII we sent US citizens to concentration camps for NATSEC reasons, one of the biggest was in Crystal City, TX.

[Chris]

All part of the plan to eliminate the filthy Mexican, and restore the pure Aryan race.

[Chris]

We will make them wear sombreros at all times, and feed them moldy tortillas. They will beg for more.

[Winehole23]

Ironic racism becomes you, Chris.

Joking about racism you also take seriously too becomes you.

Ironic distance from what you take seriously. Implausible deniability.
