One thing you can say about Texas, their nutty Tea-baggers can always surprise the hell out of you. Just when you thought it would be impossible for a Texas Governor to come along and make Rick Perry and George Bush look smart, along comes Governor Gregg Abbot.
I'm filing this story from NPR in my "you gotta be f*$&%ng kidding me!" file.
More below the fold.
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.
Oh yeah, these delusional nut cases are now infiltrating or influencing the highest levels of Texas state government.
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.
On the one hand, this is funny, but on the other it's a real danger. The Republicans aren't going to denounce this insanity because these people are their base. But think back at what happened during the Bundy stupidity. People had guns pointed at law enforcement officers, and we're not talking about soldiers or swat teams, we're talking about BLM officials! Guys who were simply trying to get that asshole to pay for putting his cows on OUR property!
It's really only a matter of time before one of these nuts in these dangerous vigilante groups loses control, shoots someone, and then all hell breaks out. And thanks FOX for lying to and pumping up these nut cases to the point of making some of them dangerous.
Well, it's good to see that not everyone in Texas is crazy:
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."
I actually know a guy who completely buys into the FEMA camps and he keeps 2 loaded rifles next to his door, and 2 loaded pistols next to his couch where he sits and watches FOX and religious programming all day.
Just when you thought it couldn't get crazier...
