Chuck Norris Pledges To Protect Texas From Federal Invasion
Last week, former Texas lawmaker Todd Smith — a 16-year veteran of the Texas House of Representatives and self-proclaimed Last of the Fact-Based Republican Mohicans — took issue with Governor Greg Abbott’s decision to call in the Texas State Guard to monitor training exercises set to be conducted in the state between July and September by members of the Green Berets, Navy SEALS, and various other US army personnel. The drills — known as Jade Helm 15 — have become the subject of fierce debate among some Texans who contend that the US Special Operations Command may be using Jade Helm as an excuse to infiltrate the state in order to pave the way for an eventual takeover by the federal government.
While it’s not entirely clear what a “takeover” would constitute given that Texas is of course part of the United States already, locals recently got an opportunity to voice their concerns at an information session in Bastrop with Lt. Col. Mark Lastoria. Some attendees questioned whether the government intended to confiscate their firearms while others asked if the army would be bringing in ISIS fighters as part of the training program (as we learned on Sunday, there will apparently be no need to import ISIS fighters into Texas as they appear to have already made themselves at home in Garland).
Despite assurances that Washington currently has no plans to re-annex the state, the paranoia has only grown over the past two weeks fueled in part by a map that appears in the unclassified Jade Helm slide deck which designates Texas as a “hostile” territory. Of course the same map also identifies San Diego as harboring a militant insurgency, so the US Spec Ops Command probably assumed it would not be taken literally, but to some Texans the whole ordeal is anything but humorous and Todd Smith’s implicit suggestion that anyone who was suspicious of the federal government’s intentions in the state is a “hysterical idiot” didn't help.
So, with the stage thus set, and with some concerned citizens convinced that a federal invasion of Texas is imminent, someone had to intervene to protect the territorial integrity of The Lone Star State and we imagine that when it comes to thwarting hostile incursions by thousands of well-trained soldiers, there’s no one better suited for the job than Chuck Norris and/or his famous alter ego, Walker Texas Ranger.
Here, in all its glory, is the full Jade Helm statement from Norris/Walker, complete with quotes from historical figures with whom he imagines he shares an ideological bond (including Ben Franklin and Thomas Jefferson), and on-the-ground intelligence from residents with extensive espionage experience like Mike Hightower, an “affable” antique store owner from Smithville:
Last week, I laughed as some progressives in the mainstream media tried to mock Gov. Abbott for telling the Texas State Guard to monitor the Pentagon’s Jade Helm 15 military ops that are occurring this summer in seven states, including California and Texas.
If you haven’t heard about Jade Helm 15, you need to. It is multi-state training mission for special operations soldiers scheduled over an eight-week period in July and August, with most of the activity happening on private property but some public, too. The official website press release from March 24 admits: “While multi-state training exercises such as these are not unique to the military, the size and scope of Jade Helm sets this one apart.”
Gov. Abbot was right in writing Maj. Gen. Gerald Betty, “During the training operation, it is important that Texans know their safety, constitutional rights, private property rights and civil liberties will not be infringed.” Abbott is demanding “regular updates on the progress and safety of the Operation.”
Concerned Texans and Americans are in no way calling into question our brave and courageous men and women in uniform. They are merely following orders. What’s under question are those who are pulling the strings at the top of Jade Helm 15 back in Washington. The U.S. government says, “It’s just a training exercise.” But I’m not sure the term “just” has any reference to reality when the government uses it.
“Well, I’m not trusting what we’re being told,” said Mike Hightower, an affable antique store owner and real-estate agent in the very small town of Smithville, Texas, where some Jade Helm 15 exercises will take place. He added, “I think there’s something a little more involved than what they’re telling us.”
If Washington wants to cool the embers of controversy, then it should quit stoking the fire, as with the posting of a map of Jade Helm 15 “just” exercises that label some areas of the country, including Texas, as “hostile,” according to KHOU 11 News in Houston and verified by the Washington Post.
I have an idea: If the government insists on running expanded military ops across seven Southwest states, why doesn’t it move all that “military training” south and protect our borders at the same time?!
Whatever Jade Helm 15 actually is, I think it is more than coincidental that the FBI director just confessed in February that the presence of ISIS can be felt in all 50 states of the U.S. and that the Pentagon is suddenly running its biggest military training exercise with every branch of the military across seven Southwestern states. Whether deterrence, display of power or something more covert or devious, let’s not come with any patronizing nonsense of impotence and simplicity when its origin is in Washington.
I’m glad Texas Sen. Ted Cruz is asking the tough questions of the Pentagon about Jade Helm 15, particularly because its “exercises” come too near to my ranch’s backdoor as well, at least according to the map. It’s pretty sad and bad when major military ops are ordered in a large, fiery state like Texas and not even the governor or its senators know the specifics.
It’s neither over-reactionary nor conspiratorial to call into question or ask for transparency about Jade Helm 15 or any other government activity. To those who merely think we should check our brains at the door of the White House and trust what the government does, I would reiterate to you the words of one of our government’s primary founders, Benjamin Franklin, who said, “Distrust and caution are the parents of security.” Again, he also said, “Security without liberty is called prison.” But then again, I’m sure some today would accuse Franklin of being conspiratorial, too!
As a friend, a law-abiding and loyal retired California Highway Patrol officer, said to me, “In God We Trust; all others we search.” Or as the maxim President Reagan cited, “Trust but verify.”
Friends, when it comes to freedom, we must question, verify and vet everyone and everything. As Thomas Jefferson told his nephew, Peter, in 1787: “Question with boldness even the existence of a god; because, if there be one, he must more approve the homage of reason, than that of blindfolded fear.”
We must never check our brains or blindly trust, especially the government. Rather, we must fight until our dying breaths for liberty, especially when it appears those in power are trying to knock down Old Glory.
Former Navy SEAL Luttrell couldn’t have said it better: “I will never quit. My nation expects me to be physically harder and mentally stronger than my enemies. If knocked down I will get back up, every time. I will draw on every remaining ounce of strength to protect my teammates and to accomplish our mission. I am never out of the fight.”
There you have it. While we do not wish to detract from this crisply-worded piece of political theory, we would point out that in addition to offering his interpretation of the Constitution, Norris has also suggested that the government stay far away from the "backdoor" of his ranch. And for all the Texans out there who are concerned about Jade Helm, rest easy because the last time black helicopters took Walker Texas Ranger to task, it did not end well for the black helicopters:

the problem. as I understand it, is that technology "needed" to be exchanged in a bhuddist temple. Space stations and chuck norris have nothing on Lois learner after your stuff. They thing it is poor shite/red/yellow trash.
If that explaination is too 501c3, I can take (and the IRS) chuck anyway "they" want to do it.
.
Well it is not a problem until it is a problem. Clearly there is a huge banker interest and wealthy interest (Like a Money trust) who's Dollars will be worth less if some states Secceed from the Union.
- Still there needs to be a list of Power issues;
- Power to Coin or Print Money
- Power to Finance the Majority of Projects from within the State
- Inflation of Federal Reserve Note, Charter Powers of TBTJ Banks to Create Money out of thin air, FED Efforts to Cause Inflation in Housing and in FRNs
- Political Power in VICHY DC focused through Gifts and Money, Huge Reinforcements of Central power, Military Power, and US Superpower control by DC
Solutions:
- Public Banking in Texas
- Coin Texas money
- Finance Texas Projects & Economy through Texas Resources and Value Added
- Create more Political Power through Wealth and Strong organizations
- Work with the Texas National Guard, improve equipment, training, status, education of soldiers or airmen, try to instil Esprit de Corps within Texas for the Texas National Guard
Then there is that pesky Border Problem. Could a Civilian Corps be put together to live in the border area, report on movement of immigrants at night, monitor radar, while working toward land improvement, water improvement, fencing improvement?? And they would get only a minimum wage type pay, but would work for reputation, recognition, and future Job or Career opportunities from patriots.
If we are ever in direct opposition to our own military the scenario will be one of poisoning the soldiers while they eat and sleep and destroying their heavy weapons using the military's own ordinance before anything even moves. Then, as stationary poorly prepared defenders of small encampments they can be eliminated. Let's hope this scenario isn't ever necessary in our time. If it is, the circumstances are very grim indeed.
IMHO selective assassination is a scalpel best used when needed. 535+9+2 guarantees a reset. Perhaps that eventuality is more likely? France, 1789 version 2.0?
We are but spectators. Until we are not.

Chuck Norris should run for president.

It's easy. In the full text the army says that the territory down there resembles those dirt poor, undefended desert s*** holes the US loves to invade. Worksfor me.
This Tyler sucks nuts.
Superman wears Chuck Norris pajamas
I don't care if Charlie cornholes the Feds. Whatever it takes to stop their invasion of our freedom works for me.
I support Texas and the Govenors suspicion of the Federal Governemnt. I support Walker's statements. Shame on you Tyler for the sarcasm making fun of those who would call into question the Federal Governments true intentions.
I read another article today where it seems you support the already debunked theory of climate change. Maybe I'm just reading this wrong?! its been a long day.
Welcome to fightclub. If this is your first night here, you have to watch "An inconvieneint truth" If you come back, watch a movie called fight club.
Maybe Tyler has been sitting in a dark room behind his keyboard for too long. An effective resistance requires the knowledge and resolve of the resisters. Norris has used his position as a celebrity to draw the line in a cowboy way and maybe inspire others. Don't fuck with Chuck.
I agree with you. The article is just so mean and sarcastic to a really good guy who is simply asking a few fair questions about Jade Helm. The person who wrote the article seems to have a hidden agenda.
Maybe this is the Tylers true feelings and this sight is more or less a very convenient place to gather info about dissidents........
But I'm not paranoid........just very perceptive....
Thumbs up.:)
Chuck Norris does not hunt because the word hunting implies the probability of failure. Chuck Norris goes killing.
Chuck Noris puts the "laughter" in "manslaughter".
Chuck Norris once visited the Virgin Islands. They are now called The Islands.
If Chuck Norris is late, time better slow the fuck down.
Superman owns a pair of Chuck Norris pajamas.
Chuck Norris does not turn the lights on. Chuck Norris turns the dark off.
Recognize.
Has Chuckie been a pretender so long, that he has become delusional?

Current paradigm being the hegelian dialectic of *conflict generates income to those in control of generating conflict*, it has to be broken down. Chuck Norris is a tool. Someone called him, said to him speak out, stir some juice.
The juice being the question: is the ciyop part of an agenda to Balkanize the United States and break it up - divided we fall; or to gain control over guns through some cruel mix of a JFKesque disaster. Ah yes, Texas. Attack Texas the loudest population calling to secede, with generous conceal carry laws it seems.
It stinks with a whiff of the government fighting its own citizens in a very physical way. Not the intangibles of financial derivatives or IRS wealth & health confiscation.
United we should stand. Then can we please juice a different paradigm. This one is too desperate for too few, or too many whichever way you see the glass.

Art 6 NATO Charter gives right to invade NATO country to restore order. I think Spanish and Turkish troops should be sent to Jade Helm and probably Polish and Czech troops too since they know about foreign occupation
I ain't movin' a muscle till the Swedish Advance Marine Female Unit (SAM / FU) shows up in their flippers!
First it was to be limited to 1,200 troops (you can lose 1,200 people in the Cowboy Stadium) but now, apparently, many thousands more troops are involved. We were told that the troops would try and blend in to the civilain culture by wearing civilian clothes then we were were told that the troops in civilian clothes would be wearing armbands to identify themselves. Obviously two disconnects there. No word on the costs of this exercise, another disconnect. Special forces are being used in the Ukraine but none of the places listed looks anything like the Ukraine, another disconnect. Parts of Colorado do look like parts of Afghanistan but, supposedly, Colorado will not be participating at all, yet another disconnect. So the troops will not be practicing in places that look like the Ukraine or Afghanistan? Just very, very odd.
"Concerned Texans and Americans are in no way calling into question our brave and courageous men and women in uniform"
No, it is Soros and Obama the people do not trust! And in that order because that is who is pulling this clowns strings.
Anyone who is not suspicious of any and everything Barry Soetoro is ordering is too stupid to argue with. You have to admit his actions are getting bolder & bolder. I'm waiting for him to have a state dinner for Isis. He is a deranged lunatic & if you aren't concerned, then you are a fucking idiot.
Don't question my right to own a gun and I won't question your stupidity not to.
Amen.
Chance favours the prepared.
And I have made a solemn pledge to never watch another Chuck Norris movie without some Pepto Bismol and ear muffs. This also holds true for Barbara Streisand films.
Fuck Chuck Norris, he's all old and wrinkly.
I want Thor to protect us all, from what I don't care. Chris Hemsworth is much better looking than Norris.
And screw Steven Seagal too. See, I'm not always pro-Russian.
Jade Helm, or Santa Anna 2.0, deserves to be met with armed Texans behind every blade of grass east of the Pecos.
A couple of observations here.
1) I'm okay with "Jade Helm" (Green Helmet). I'd be more worried at "Sapphire Helm" for an exercise name.
2) I generally trust the rankers but not the field grade officers of the military. Too many careers have been abruptly ended by even tangentially questioning the motivations of various Presidents. Now it's salute and obey for the order-giving classes.
3) I have to question the announced intent of the exercise. Every man jack of the military has already been deployed to the hypothesized seat of war many times over the last decade. They know all about conditions in South Asia and the ME and have no need to pretend that San Diego is Fallujah. This HAS to be for some other purpose than the operational cover story alleges. Given the conditions laid out for the exercise, this is about an invasion someplace "over there" or an invasion somehow "over here".
4) Given the well-known penchant of this administration for not telling the truth about anything, one can only guess as to what this is really about-- but it is not about what they say it is about (unless they're morons bent on exhausting an already burnt-out group of veterans by taking away the decompression that comes from their soft stateside year prior to redeployment)
5) Finally, as someone who is tolerably familiar with ordinary military movements in the great Centennial State, I can tell you that the July timeframe is also a cover story. Large scale maneuvers are clearly underway even as we speak today, although this could just be pre-positioning of assets and familiarization drills for the upper ranks prior to the kickoff. If they were to increase still further beyond the current pace of operational intensity, I would have to rate Jade Helm as the largest continental field army exercise since the vast Louisiana maneuvers of 1941.
6) Colorado has a lot of dedicated MMA (Military Maneuver Area) terrain that can host very large-scale exercises safely away from the civilian population and away from spying eyes, but the activity I see is taking place nowhere near these dedicated MMAs. A little spillage over the border of these regions would be understandable but major efforts are taking place in areas that have no need of inclusion.
One additional thought: Jade Helm can perhaps be associated with Jade itself-- which in turn alludes to activity in the Far East of some sort.
Perhaps others would be so kind as to chime in on personally observable phenomena in their areas.
Haven't seen much in AZ other than slight uptick in military helicopters and it's mostly during the day. Noticed one convoy in N AZ last weekend while driving through but not sure if thats out of the norm.
The biggest area of error might be either some link to Asia is new or unexpected,... or that military exercises are out of place within a Superpower nation.
- FFS we have a Military Republic
- We have Free (slave Trade) which is all documented in our CAFTA-DR, NAFTA, GATT, WTO, TPP, TAP, and other Trade Agreements which allow Owners of Capital to not only establish factories anywhere... but to import foreign workers even to US CONUS to work a factory at below US Minimum Wage Rates if they record low hours.
Was going to say something:
" Every man jack of the military has already been deployed to the hypothesized seat of war many times over the last decade"
- This is not True as I know it, the US Military has to continually recruit new men and women to keep the flow of new, educated, Trained, People moving to new Stations
9/11 was an inside job. The Military and Justice System stood down for 14 years. What am I missing?
tarabel- you lost my interest after #4-"Given the well-known penchant of this administration for not telling the truth about anything..."
This statement indicates to me you haven't been paying attention. Please enlighten me- what administration has been telling the truth?
This lying has been going on forever. It doesn't matter if they are Democrats or Republicans, black or white, Christian, Catholic, Muslim or Jewish.
If they have made it to office they are liars. Step 1-Campaign Finance Reform will cut the head of the snake. Get money out of campaigns and maybe the winners can arrive to their position uncompromised. Step 2- Disband the NSA- we have 17 security agencies we can let these law breakers go.
But is he willing to protect the US from The American Curse >>> http://wp.me/p4OZ4v-3z
Someone posted this on Greg Hunter's website. Jade Helm translates from Hebrew to English = West Shock.
Here's something even more amazing:
"Jade Helm" translates from English to Latin = Jade gubernaculo
"Gubernaculo" sounds suspiciously like "guanaco"
Guanacos are Camelids- they're related to Camels.
Camels are what Muslims drive.
So, better watch your back, buster.
Go get 'em Walker! lol ive never laughed so hard in my life. Chucky. Norris
Is he anything like Stalone, who when he got his draft notice, he high tailed it to Sweden until the Vietnam war was over
AND THEN he decides to serve his country-from the safety of home and a studio stage in LA, as RAMBO lol!
Actually Norris served in the USAF from 1958 until 1962 . He was in the Air Police section and served overseas in Japan.
I liked Chuck Norris article. Thought it was great.
blue pill, red pill... blue pill, red pill... which one should I take?... blue pill, red pill... blue pill, red pill...

If Chuck Morris jumps into the water he does not get wet.
The water gets Chuck Norris.
Take a break.
i don't like the tone here Tyler. Poo pooing where Chucky draws the line is no different than leftys poo pooing any mention of Obama's dark agenda.
Chuck is a true patriot and making him laughable is buying into the CIA Conspiracy Theory Playbook. I found his words measured and utterly sane.
Whether protesting any unportioned tax or other unconstitutional creeping mini-step right is right and no alarm is too large or small.
I agree, wildbad!
Never, EVER, trust any government, bnot even for a moment.
Agreed, this is at least the second article on here making light of Abbott's reasonable request that the guard monitor activites and protect his citizens civil rights.
I guess we are supposed to take on the mindset of the nutless republicans like Todd Smith, John McCain and the chinless wonders that run the party.Yeah, they are trying to keep us safe from ISIS???
Who the fuck is stupid enough to buy that explanation. And, if that isn't the reason, then what is?
No thanks Todd Smith. Enjoy viewing your ball in that glass jar on the ZWO mantle somewhere.........
When I was at school in the mid 80s, and videos were big, we couldn't get enough of Chuck Morris movies, nor videos like America Ninja starting the legendary Michael Dudikoff.
Great times and movies.
Let me just say this.
If the Federal Govt could not defeat a bunch of nobodies that live in caves in the middle east, what chance does it have of winning a civil war against a mechanized country where people can 3d print weapons in their garage?
Just food for thought.
It is impossible to militarily conquer an armed and informed public, the only way to win such a battle is to bribe the public/stay on their good side so that they continue to tolerate you (appeasement)
How does chuck walk with nuts that big...
Did anyone ask the Army if "crisis actors" will be brought in to simulate disgruntled right-wing patriots and right-wing militias? The soldiers get trained to draw down and shoot American citizens in a realistic setting. This time it will be simulated, but next time? If these "crisis actors" are to be involved it is time to shut down the operation right now.
Did you ever see the DHS paper targets ? All White folks, including old people and pregnant women with guns in their hands ready to shoot the Fearless Fosdicks of DHS ?
Chuck Norris once accidentally superglued his eyelid to his foreskin.
Why he survived is a mystery but that once incident alone amply qualifies him to defend Texas.
When the boogie man goes to bed at night, he checks the closet for ChuckNorris
I recall Putin almost falling out of his chair laughing when ask if he beleived the US assertion that the proposed missle defense system the US was installing in Poland was to "protect" EU and the US from a surprise attack by Iran.
American subjects are being asked to believe that huge military exercises over several States are to "protect" them from the likes of ISIS.
Do you think that our gum and bailing wire society might disintigrate if a economic collapse occurs ?
Chuck is one of the few, if not the only, man with balls still attached that women would vote for.

The writer of this article is a fool who wants to legitimize his own foolishness by weakly attempting to lambast somebody who is not a fool. The whole "effort" is pathetic and not worthy of ZeroHedge which until now has been mostly free of the blood stains that are becoming of a Government -Inseminated Menstrual Rag.
