How Rebubs react when they think the military is invading.

Jade Helm 15: The Black Helicopters Are Coming. Well, Maybe Not

“During the training operation, it is important that Texans know their safety, constitutional rights, private property rights and civil liberties will not be infringed," Gov Greg Abbott wrote to Maj. Gen. Gerald Betty.

Those tunnels between the shuttered Walmarts cleverly repurposed as concentration camps. Not at all like blatantly building gulags under the burning sun of a swamp.

One source I recall said those abandoned Walmarts were secretly hiding underground SUBMARINE PENS!!!

There was an Army Colonel who went town-to-town weeks before the exercise to meet with the locals simply to tell them they MIGHT be seeing more than the usual number of military people and vehicles. He was stunned by the onslaught of rabid Reich-wing bullshittery aimed at him.

Yeah, submarines, aliens, pizza parlor basements, cats & dogs sleeping together, mind altering contrails… It was ALL on display. Every CT flag raised and saluted.

I have never seen anything like it.
