The Obama administration to preparing to invade Texas, declare martial law and wage war on the American people.
If you missed that news, you haven’t been paying attention to conservative talk radio and Internet conspiracy sites. Fortunately, Jack Kimball is paying attention. The former state GOP chair and Ted Cruz advance man has been keeping his followers updated about the impending military takeover on Facebook.
Kimball first warned his supporters in March. “Wake up America! Operation Jade Helm 15 (look it up) has now expanded to 10 States,” he wrote, with a link to an Alex Jones InfoWars video.
Jade Helm 15 is a two-month long military training exercise scheduled for this fall in which American special operations forces will conduct counterinsurgency war games.
Conspiracy buffs grew suspicious when they discovered a Defense Department planning document for the exercise that labeled Texas and Utah as hostile territory. They noted those conservative states were depicted in red while states friendlier to the president were colored blue.
As Matt Yglesias writes, “The Pentagon’s official line is that they are not planning a takeover, but again, that’s what you would expect them to say.”
Kimball doesn’t buy it. “Jade Helm 15 just got worse! Pleeeeeese wake up America!” he implored earlier this month. “Massive movement of Military equipment across the US continues,” he warned.
Even though the Jade Helm exercise is taking place in the southwest, observant Granite Staters have spotted evidence of the military build-up here in New Hampshire.
The Common Sense Show (”FREEING AMERICA One Enslaved Mind at a Time”) passed along a report from one Granite Stater who snapped a couple of photos of a tank in Nashua: “Just wanted to let you know about the buildup and military movement in New Hampshire. I’ve seen movements in and around Concord, between Hillsborough and Peterborough, and I just recently saw this in Nashua.”
“Matt” from Manchester recently called Alex Jones to describe the ongoing military build-up around the state. “Something big’s coming…” replied Jones. “If America wasn’t concerned we’d be crazy.”
