Texas Republican Blasts Governor's "Embarrassing" & Irrational Response To Jade Helm

Tyler Durden's picture




 

On Thursday, we reviewed the official, unclassified Jade Helm 15 slide deck and remarked on some of the more amusing aspects of the US Special Operations Command's upcoming two-month-long fake covert invasion of Texas, New Mexico, Colorado, Utah, Arizona, Nevada, and California. For those unfamiliar, Jade Helm is a training exercise wherein Green Berets, Navy SEALS, Marines, and other members of the armed forces will "practice core special warfare tasks, which help protect the nation against foreign enemies." 

Essentially, the states listed above were chosen because the army figures the landscape approximates the terrain and environmental conditions US armed forces may face in a modern overseas conflict, but predictably, the government didn’t do the best job of explaining things and in a particularly awkward section of the presentation entitled “Why Texas?”, the Spec Ops Command stumbled through a hilariously condescending account of why the Lone Star state was perfect for the drills. Here is how we summarized it:

Next is the section entitled “Why Texas?” wherein the US Army Special Operations Command first explains how patriotic Texans generally are, then hilariously proceeds to suggest (in as polite a manner as possible) that the Lone Star state 1) resembles the type of desert wasteland soldiers might expect to encounter in a modern overseas conflict, 2) is just underdeveloped enough in many areas to give trainees an idea of what it might be like to be operating undercover in a hostile Middle Eastern country, 3) is home to the type of xenophobia which will make the locals approximately as skeptical of “outsiders” as the inhabitants of an occupied country might be but who are at the same time just gullible enough to be tricked into trusting the “invaders,” and best of all 4) is home to social and economic conditions that any normal American would consider “unfamiliar.” 

Ultimately, some concerned citizens hailing from Bastrop voiced their skepticism about the exercises to Lt. Col. Mark Lastoria at an information session last Monday. Among the theories floated by the crowd: the government is preparing to confiscate Texans’ guns, the army is gathering intelligence on the way to instituting martial law in Texas, and the Special Ops Command may bring in ISIS fighters (presumably to make the exercises more realistic). In the end, Governor Greg Abbott got wind of these voters’ concerns and took the rather unusual step of calling on the Texas Guard to supervise the Jade Helm drills, prompting us to remark that “you now have a Texas governor pitting the Texas Guard against the US Special Operations Command amid fears the federal government — possibly in conjunction with Wal-Mart — is using special forces to gather intelligence on the way to taking over the state.” Our concerns about the creeping militarization of US communities notwithstanding, we can't help but find the entire spectacle entertaining.

Now at least one Texas Republican seems to think the Governor’s move might have marked Jade Helm’s full retard moment because as you can see from the following letter, 16-year Texas House member Todd Smith thinks the decision to have the state guard monitor the US military is nothing short of preposterous.

Dear Governor Abbott, 

 

Let me apologize in advance that your letter pandering to idiots who believe that US Navy Seals and other US military personnel are somehow a threat to be watched has left me livid. As a 16 year Republican member of the Texas House and a patriotic AMERICAN, 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'm not sure which is worse. As one of the remaining Republicans who actually believes in making decisions based on facts and evidence- you used to be a judge?- I am appalled that you would give credence to the nonsense mouthed by those who instead make decisions based on internet or radio shock jock driven hysteria. Is there ANYBODY who is going to stand up to this radical nonsense that is cancer on our State and Party? It is alarming that our State Republican leadership is such that we must choose between DEGREES of demagoguery. I know that in many cases you are the better of the two demagogues (see the Lieutenant Governor driven nut job rant regarding your Pre-K program as a recent example). Having been there, I also know that politicians are not always able to speak their mind because they represent large groups of people and not just themselves. But this bone that you have thrown to those who believe that the U.S. Military is a threat to the State of Texas is an embarrassing distance beyond the pale. You are Governor of Texas! This is an open request—from a ghost of our State's recent Republican past—that you act like it. Enough is enough. You have embarrassed and disappointed all Texans who are also informed, patriotic Americans. And it is important to rational governance that thinking Republicans call you out on it.

 

Sincerely, 

Todd Smith

 

Below is Smith's letter followed by the original from Abbott to Texas Guard commander "Jake" Betty.

"doesn't have the backbone to stand up..."????????????   Very interesting choice of words from this fucking piece of shit to say about a guy who's back is broken and who is a parapalygic stuck in a fucking wheelchair.

 

This asshole isn't a "Republican" or even a patriot.  He's obviously just another statist, globalist, treasonous piece of shit, sociopath, sucking off the people through his bullshit government position like all the other cancerous leeches in this country and in this world. 

The governor is doing the right thing.  This "government" is using the military against us.  Plain and simple.  The whole thing is a psy-op, and the military should not be used in this way and needs to stand down, plain and simple. 

Subversive scumbags in the government, military, and local law enforcement are deliberately pushing the boundaries against the people in order to position themselves to take over the country.  It's been happening for decadeds...it's been happening since the Constitution was fucking signed!!! 

It's been happening all over the fucking world and who kills more people in this world than the fucking governments do???????  Over 250 MILLION people killed by governments around the world in the last 100 fucking years! 

Our original Constitutional form of government has been infiltrated and taken over by a soft coupe de tat over many decades and it has rotted out our nation, our society, our military, our educational system, and our economy. 

This asshole is just one of many little fuckers who needs a good hard-core ass kicking Texas style.

Trust in any military is for fools. Lord Acton wrote about the Pope, "If there is any presumption it is the other way, against the holders of power, increasing as the power increases. Historic responsibility has to make up for the want of legal responsibility. Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men, even when they exercise influence and not authority, still more when you superadd the tendency or the certainty of corruption by authority. There is no worse heresy than that the office sanctifies the holder of it."

The facts are the military has power; the military are men just like the Pope; the military men are promoted for obedience; there is no greater stupidity than to presume the US military's men are exceptionally sanctified; the head of the US military is Obama, who is not trusted by Republicans. Blind trust is stupidity. Lord Acton,devout Catholic, did not trust the Pope. Mr. Smith believes the US government and its military are more trustable than the Pope.

Military has hundreds of miles of desert to train in.  http://www.irwin.army.mil/

And small communities surrounding it already.

I'm not necessarily worried about the training, we see tanks, MRAPs and other equipment on the freeway or along side pretty often when driving on the 15 or 40.  It's legitimate.  Big playground there.

I imagine this exercise is actually to increase the scale of movements and the required communications and logistics with such scale.

Something similar to Bagram, Afghanistan being the hub for countless FOB's around the country.

 

What is REALLY nice to know is that they will be carrying all kinds of high power military gear and they will still be technically disarmed.  I imagine some would find that actionable intelligence.

Obama says his father served in WWII yet Obama senior was born in 1936. Frank Marshall Davis IS his father. Frank was an FBI asset and his mothers family also had ties to the CIA.

Obama was groomed by NWO asset Brzezinski at Columbia at 21 and the rest.... as they say... is history.

it gets better than that!  Watch the new interview from Joel Gilbert with Barry Davis's so-called half brother, Malik Obama!  Malik straight up says Barry is a lying, con-man who is NOT his brother and is NOT related to him, and he says he wants a DNA paternity test done to prove Barry Davis is not related to him. 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRKVunuTGDQ

 

Here's the movie as well with all the indisputable evidence.

How can anyone dispute this now that his own fake family is calling him out as a lying scumbag who has deceived them all his life in order to hide the fact that the Commie scum, Frank Marshall Davis, is really his father.

 

Look at the fucking marks on their faces!  They're becoming identical as Barry grows older.  Look at the hair line comparison.  Look as the nose, the mouth, lips, eyes and eye brows...they are nearly identical and completely consistent with shared physical genetic traits. 

 

Not to mention the shared treasonous, Marxist ideology that this fucking piece of shit even wrote about in his own book!!!! 

 

Watch the movie and look at the photo evidence which shows FMD took naked pics of Barry's scumbag mom and obviously he fucked her and spawned this piece of shit.

I really don't know why people here still refer to him as Obama. They are usually such a smart crowd.

The story from his "brother" speaks volumes about this sociopath. Doesn't even want to help them out to bury his supposed father's sister and yet just like Clinton... he is all for the little guy. Cheap bastard... those poor Kenyans were just used to create "Obama the Legend" so he wouldn't be stuck with the tag "Barry the bastard Davis"  bastard son of an FBI operative (or dedicated communist u-pick) who likes to fuck 16 year old white girls at 56 years of age". Educated in the Orient School of the CIA then sent to Brzezinski for CRF connections and acting lessons to enslave the citizens of the USA to the upcoming NWO.

The only difference between Barry 'the bastard" Davis and a sack of shit is a $5,500 bespoke suit and a bag of golf clubs.

Did I miss anything?

Your 'kids' have been compartmentalized.... count on it . .that means they only know so much and only their job . most do not know HOW they are being used or why .. only they follow the flag or so they think .. after years of glorifying the military most of them still thnk they are being patriotic... sadly they are only being USED. There are also Special OPS and special ops .. the lot out of Tampa .. a whole other kettle of fish and if they are part of ISOC . sucks to be them.. Again they are compartmentalized... most govt. agents are . .very few . whether military or DEA or FBI or CIA have the whole picture .. Psychology defines compartmentalization as a defense mechanism, or a coping strategy, . Put simply, it’s how our minds deal with conflicting internal standpoints simultaneously. Some examples would be: a doctor who is religious, but has to separate her belief system from her practice at a women’s health clinic; a man who leaves his office at 6pm, and refuses to think about work for the rest of the evening, so he can enjoy his time with his family or, at its extreme, soldiers who need to file away the trauma of horrific events in their minds, so they can continue operating in battle.   The 'good' soldiers of the German Wehrmacht compartmentalized. they would say .. I am not political and do their job . giving little thought to the BIG picture or who was pulling the strings.. until it was too late ..many still could not and did not come to terms with the fact the govt. they backed was out of control . .most Germans loved Germany . that is who them fought for .. Hitler was just the cheer leader. We are at that point in the US and West .. those who lead us our evil .. demonic if you will .. we love our country . but those leading it . are past redemption .. to fight with them leading . we will end up in history same as the Third Reich.

Having been in the military I'd say that given an illegal order, 75% would follow it even if they were taught about illegal orders in their initial and subsequent training; something I've heard is no longer emphasized.  Those young minds haven't developed the perspective to see things that are larger than their military world, an they probably won't until they leave the service. 

Three star general Smedley Butler himself commented on this; here's the quote from the great man himself, ""Like all the members of the military profession, I never had a thought of my own until I left ... This is typical with everyone in the military service."

Go ahead, ask your kids if they'd fire on innocent american gunowners or confiscate their guns, and please post the reply.

Mr. Pigman,

I salute both you and your children for their involvement with the spec ops activities in the US armed forces. That, BTW, is total 100% sincerity.

However, for those of both high integrity as well as pursuers of truth,  you and your children may benefit from the experiences of recently deceased green beret colonel Dan Marvin, assassinated green beret colonels Nick Rowe, Baker, Cutolo, the then-ops Commander (cannot recall the name).

Colonel Cutolo's affidavit, along with the deposition from the daughter of assassinated colonel Carone, may provide some perspective - as well as context - regarding the apprehension of many.

(The recounting by colonel Marvin of his peripheral involvement in the assassination of US Naval officer Bruce Pritzer is ... enlightening).

 

Further confirmation of MO's may be gleaned from the autobiography of the 'first' Navy SEAL,  Roy Boehm.

Best of luck to you and yours, sir.

 

Edit: The director of Joint Spec Ops was Colonel Malvesti, as well as an earlier assassinated green beret col. Bayard.

After OVER 10 years of trying to figure out what direction they . .the powers that be.. the shadow govt. was pushing the US Military .. its all coming together ... the REAL military is combination of post 911 . units of Northcom... but MOSTLY .Special Operations Command out of Tampa.. and ISOC . Interational Special Operations Command PLUS mercenaries... various defense contractor companies where the steroid guys go to become highly paid soliders for hire . foreign included... ... apart of USSA .. take it or leave it but groups like the Seals .. Rangers and others have been coopted to form the core of the army of the New World Order.. you can believe or not . .  This is a NEW core . remember that a new CORE of the NEXT real military .. the former US military is being torn apart . made redundant and irrelevant through idiotic crap like transgender, gay and females in combat crap.. i guarantee you the new CORE will have damned few if any of this .. they all might be gay . . but they will work for corporations and government in private publc partnership . and ITS NOT A GOOD THING.    http://memoryholeblog.com/2015/04/27/whither-posse-comitatus-special-for...

I do not know about martial law.. frankly I think they are just forming the new CORE where the real busting heads and killing will be done .. here and abroad. .its a private public partnership gone wild.. if you want to get caught up . .read Peter Singer's Corporate Warriors .. .. the US military as was is done .. this new military will not belong to US . you and me . it will be a corporate THING ..

All roads lead to the masters of global finance. From Germany to the USSR itself. Victor Rothschild head of MI6 even gave the Russians the plans for radar as revealed by soviet spies after the fall of the USSR. Armand Hammer? Check out who made those North Vietnamese truck engines sometime. Same for the Nazi plants that were owned by GM and Ford and never got bombed despite being prime targets. Royal Shell fueled the Nazis up to the fall of Holland and Standard Oil with their tetraethyl lead kept the Luftwaffe in the skies until the end of the war with the tacit complicity of both England and the US.

Never forget what happened to the 2 Japanese businessmen with the $134.5B of "counterfeit" (nope) bonds at Chiasso heading almost certainly for the BIS in Basel. They called the Japanese embassy and the Federal Reserve to confirm the authenticity and then they were simply let go.

 

“Italy’s financial police (Guardia italiana di Finanza) has seized US bonds worth US 134.5 billion from two Japanese nationals at Chiasso (40 km from Milan) on the border between Italy and Switzerland. They include 249 US Federal Reserve bonds worth US$ 500 million each, plus ten Kennedy bonds and other US government securities worth a billion dollars each. Italian authorities have not yet determined whether they are real or fake, but if they are real the attempt to take them into Switzerland would be the largest financial smuggling operation in history; if they are fake, the matter would be even more mind-boggling because the quality of the counterfeit work is such that the fake bonds are undistinguishable from the real ones.”

"This secret group" drives me crazy.  Are they just anonymous individuals dispersed across the world living in luxury?  British royalty?  Do the Bernankies, Rothchilds, and Kissinger types even know who they are, or are they all listening to a little Charlies Angel's box once a week taking orders from Satan himself?

It's really bizarre to ponder how far in time this could go back and how perfectly evil and diabolical it all is.  It's somewhat disheartening to think about the glaring obvious fact that the entire human race is enslaved by some anonymous evil. What's even worse is how few people in history ever become aware of it.  

If the advent of the internet doesn't lead to the demise of this anonymous coven of psychopaths nothing will.  Most certainly the bastards have a plan "if we go down we take everything with us".  One could presume the Phoenix could also allude to the group itself as well as it's influence.  How many times has the Phoenix risen?  For all we know the pyramid may have been a warning...

It amazes me that people around the world are enthralled by the royal baby.  Are we stupid?  No doubt in my mind.

The people have somehow been conditioned to regard the royal family as sacrosanct.  Why is this?  It's because their teevee told them so.

Likewise, we are told that the royal family are merely figureheads who have no real power.

That's bullshit.  The Queen owns the City (of London) and the City owns the world.

The Vicar of Christ is himself owned by the City, and is a major source of income for said City.

Roll that around in your head for awhile, and tell me why I'm wrong.

True.  There are over 1500 square miles of military bases in Texas and billions have been spent on mock up cities.  This op is being done IMO to get the lay of the land right down the middle of Texas, also known as Texas's high ground or Hill Country.

The stupidity of opening the borders and allowing all manner of illegals in and then forcing a military op on those who have shouldered the brunt of the influx is adding insult to injury.

Here you have a rah-rah 'patriot' in the form of representative Todd Smith, who, in his opening statements, refers to the citizenry he supposedly 'serves', as 'idiots'.    That in and of itself being a 'flushable' offense in my world, but it gets better...

 

Have a look sometime at the writings of the nations founders - those you know, and even some you may not, who were in the 'background' at the time but nonetheless helped to form the anti-statist viewpoint that so many of the Framers held.   Many of their statements would come as a shock to the Hannity/Levin/Limbaugh/Todd Smith brigade.   In fact, most of their statements and writings regarding the station of citizen and government run completely afoul of what the aforementioned modern-day 'proponents of Liberty' espouse today.

Even though the 'trend' towards more government already had legs, there was enough rope around them to at least keep the trend in slow-motion, but something very bad happened to the psyche of men like Todd Smith after the events of 2001.

Representative Todd Smith: By your opening remarks, you have proven to be an ENEMY of the founding tenets of this nation and by extension, it's citizenry.

“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.”

-Cicero

While risking being labeled an idiot, by a Washington agency insider/ with all due respect, my understanding of the USA "Patriot" Act, based on a partially facilitated, at best, or completely collaborated terrorist events, and all national "security," is that it is on a "need-to-know" basis, such that there may be layers of groups of people collaborating on "projects" and "events" who may have access to different information, and differing views, as far as objectives, and the reason, motivations, and ultimate goals, of operations and procedures. Having a need-to-know basis for National Security would be a highly effective way for a criminal, or foreign aligned network, to bend, re-direct, and exploit operations, wouldn't it?

I dunno, doesn't really seem outrageous to me, kind of nice to see a politician concerned for his citizens safety and rights. Is that an outrageous request?

once again, more proof the greatest danger in the world is the bottom half of the class. what happened to zh once the math test was removed is exactly what has happened to the usa, the lowest common denominator makes the rules.

the bottom half of the class needs to be genocided to save the whole of humanity. everyone needs to take a math test to participate.

Todd Smith can fuck off. I gave up on the texas republican party a few years ago, after putting together some serious credentials, including being a state delagate to the texas state convention 12 times in arow over 24 years, and personally knowing and being very much involved as a player with some really good, serious candidiates and officials. Abbott to me is and was a republican hack -but he is right on this issue -although I suspect he took this stand for political, rather than principalled reasons. That being said, Todd Smith is a piece of shit. It's people like him that drove me out out of being a republican activist. Real patriot republicans are people like newly elected State Senator Don Huffines and our former Congresman Ron paul -  (Rick perry is another fraud and charlatan)

Greg Abbot, like many Texas heathens, descends from a trollish bavarian bloodline.  It's the nose that gives away these cursed heathens.

Agent Smith.

[though he looses a little logical consistency in the transformation]

So, the fascist pigs are practicing for their  plannned invasion of another Middle East country.  Which one would that be this time? Syria? Iran?

How about Saudia Arabia? After all, didn't mostly their citizens, backed by their government commit the 9/11 atrocities?  You'd have to figure that Corporate-Fascism and it's Military Industrial Complex and greed driven Oil Corporations would get around to them sooner or later.

what i find interesting is that as the US melts down, becoming a politician will become a better and better job: power, perks and prestigue...and money and good benefits. once the economic melt down is in full swing I am sure there will be quite a few more people for these jobs then exist.

 

some of you guys should think about channeling your anger into getting elected into office.

too bad they aren't using all this effort and man power to seal the southern border.

Sorry but most of us have no interest in being framed and sent to prison or assassinated.

I see BLOOD and fuck this guy.  RE: Jade Helm : So, they are going to come up your rural drive way, knock on the door and ask for HELP/ get their asses shot off.

Facts:

9/11 - simultaneous exercise replicating exact events confusing air traffic controllers.

Sandy Hook (hoax) - simultaneous exercise replicating exact events occurring a few miles away at an abandoned school.

Boston bombing - simultaneous exercise replicating exact events occurring nearby orchestrated by DHS.

Criminals who read obituaries to know time of funeral so empty home is robbed.

JADE HELM presentation to County commissioners: "law enforcement will be notified. ... troops knocking on doors ... requesting civilian assistance. .. will 'nip in the bud' ... calls to 911."

OPJH15 will now be an ANNUAL EVENT!

Presentation to County Commissioners: (foreign troops - "uh"):

Mainstream news is showing the alleged insignia for Jade Helm - the fuzzy thing above where the arrows cross is a wooden shoe - like those worn in WW II concentration camps:

http://www.kvue.com/story/news/local/2015/05/01/governors-decision-about...

Explanation here:

Here's a thought. "1200" (trust me, it's not 12,000 with foreign troops) Unorganized Militia will come onto the military bases in order to practice their Seventh Warfighting Function. They'll attempt to go unnoticed among you and they'll only be doing things like rounding up actors pretending they committed war crimes and shooting them for treason. Don't worry, only blanks will be fired.

Then, you will hear some loud noises and explosions in and near your base housing, but again don't worry - they're only simulating addressing terrorist activities. They'll also practice absconding with your equipment - jets, helos, armor, etc., and there will be a drill where they lock down the command and control centers all in a simulation to "pretend" they are retaking the bases from an ISIL capture.

This will go on for two months, but think of the economic boom it will bring to your chow halls, billiard rooms, golf courses and movie theaters. Let's call it "Jade-booted Thug 13" - "Mastering the Military Domain" - all for your safety for times when the Unorganized Militia is the last line of defense (See: Captain John H. Morgan Surrenders & see: http://tech.mit.edu/V116/N16/militia.16w.html)

They'll wear an armband for your comfort.

 

If you think the ovens are not out there, use Google to follow Hwy 22 going NE from Cambridge, Ohio.  Just past Antrim left on Lodge Rd and down a few hundred yards on the right and sitting close to the hwy are ten ovens, a million dollar construction crane, and up by the road are tar-lined rail cars.  The National Guard were told they were building a manure storage facility and the County Engineer said it was a bird seed processing plant.  There is natural gas supply on site and green (high pressure) PVC to each 15' X 15' X 12' high oven.  The pre-fab rail line was hauled off after discovery -1992.  The reception building was built in approximately 1995.

You can see the large underground LNG pipe at 40.129176, -81.349749.  Looks like they've added six more of the squares at 40.131203, -81.351555.  What are the three structures at 40.132015, -81.346732? Is that a waste water treatment tank at 40.128041, -81.349942?  The building at 40.130498, -81.348447  looks like a pig building...we have a lot of those in NC.  Fresh water at 40.133045, -81.351274.  What are the overgrown structures at 40.130851, -81.355521?
