Reminder that Abbott is the idiot who was so convinced that 1200 US Army soldiers were going to invade, conquer and occupy Texas like it was France for the glory of Obama, that he mobilized the Texas State guard

Had to go figure out what you were talking about.

Jade Helm 15 was a large U.S. Special Operations Command training exercise scheduled for July–September 2015 across several southwestern states. It involved Green Berets, Navy SEALs, Air Force special operations personnel and others. A leaked/public training map designated Texas and Utah as “hostile” territory for purposes of the simulation.

That spawned a remarkably elaborate conspiracy theory: the Obama administration was supposedly using Jade Helm as cover to impose martial law, confiscate guns, arrest political opponents, and/or occupy Texas. One version incorporated recently closed Walmart stores, allegedly connected by secret tunnels and intended as detention centres.

Fuckin' LOL. The US education system seems fatally flawed.

That was when Alex Jones first popped on my map. He fueled the Jade Helm conspiracy.

You forgot the FEMA run death camps where Obama would genocide thousands of Republicans

There are also FEMA plans for a zombie apocalypse.

There have to be plans, but that doesn't mean they are likely or expected.
