Discussion for article #236428
When it all blows over, no doubt the conspiracy theorists will claim that it was their eternal vigilance and possession of weapons that prevented the military from carrying out its Texas takeover plans.
Lead in the water?
Only our FREEDUMBS stopped THE OTHER and his NWO Obamler Youth from taking over MURKA, blah blah blah derp derp derp…
This guy does not even make much of a case and it is not entertaining at all - and I enjoy a good conspiracy as well as the next guy. OMG is the great New England air show that has been going on at nearby Westover Air Base a part of Jade Helm 15 - jets and choppers have been going over my house.
“…a nice place to activate a FEMA camp…”
Don’t flatter yourselves. It’s not that nice a place.
I’m more than happy to let the military train elsewhere. To the extent that a military presence turns states into takers instead of makers, I don’t get too bent out of shape that Republican states tend to be takers.
Tejas dumber than Flaw-duh.
Stupid in the churches is more like it!
Fracking fluids…
I’ll make a deal with these idiots. If Jade Helm turn out to be what they think it is, some sort of armed takeover, I will vote for Republicans in every election for the rest of my life. If they are wrong, then they have to vote for the Dem in the next presidential election. Any takers? Bueller? Bueller?
Maybe the right answer is to not disappoint them and go ahead, mobilize and round them up.
“No big conspiracy afoot”?
Cue wingnuts yammering on about how Bigfoot is actually housed in the so-called “abandoned” building, and how the surveillance is part of the plans to keep him there under quarantine.
F-18s, Choppers, Ospreys have all been flying over my house. I am afraid, , ,
Wait, I live in Norfolk VA, F-18’s Choppers, Ospreys, and all sorts of military planes are normal. So - Never Mind 
The nutjobs can claim it, but the truth is the hidden agenda of announcing Jade Helm 15 was to expose as many wackos as possible publicly, photograph them, then add them to “the list” to be the first ones taken out during the real takeover. Psy-ops will win every time.
Yes, lead from their guns!!
And to show how pathetically low the national security/warmongering Republicans have fallen, their leadership in Congress have had to table a bill they have always wanted which gives the president of the United States the power to go to war-profiteering at anytime…because they suspect the current black president would attack the South.
Their delusional behavior and pride in promoting law and order is laying on the ground completely tattered and broken. Republicans can no longer function because they gave into their worst fears and loathings. Now local Republican officials are desperately trying to pick up the pieces but have found that there is nothing left to save.
They have become the Whigs. When Cruz was elected to the Senate in Texas it was the handwriting on the wall. The GOP has become nothing more than a radical right wing party of nitwits and cowards that can’t do anything but embarrass itself. Republicans don’t know how to govern, don’t want to govern and don’t know how to conduct successful wars. They only know how to inflict economic pain on 99% of their countrymen and outsource.
Republicans have no idea how to create new capital or promote long term growth; and even if they did, they would just stash the profits into foreign tax sheltered banks. They quit investing back into this, the country of their birth, and gave up on our republic decades ago. I’m sure many of them wake up each morning and wonder in which third world country they’ve landed. Dixie was never that depraved even with the sin of slavery being its only guiding principle.
It’d be nice if there were a specific thing to blame, but I think it’s just the usual byproduct of being a “red state” that you get these nut cakes.
