Jade Helm Plot to Seize Texas

[BitterPill]

As many have heard, there is a new conspiracy theory making the rounds in Republican circles, and it appears a great many Republicans believe the conspiracy theory:

What I am wondering is how many Republicans, conservatives or Libertarians on this forum believe the conspiracy is true. Lefties need not apply.

Oops...I suppose I should change my vote to I can't read...but I can't.

It's a BS conspiracy theory. Republicans and Texans alike are embarrassing themselves by acting or, worse, actually believing this nonsense.

It's a ridiculous conspiracy theory, but there is a grain of truth behind it. Under the Clinton administration, the military established the first domestic command since the days of Reconstruction. It is increasingly integrated with police forces, and is openly practicing for counterinsurgency war in the United States. The military was turned against U.S. citizens in Louisiana in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, and we can expect it to be used against Americans on a larger scale as social battles here heat up.

I'm not buying that conspiracy theory either nor the assertion "The military was turned against U.S. citizens in Louisiana in the wake of Hurricane Katrina".

In fact, wasn't the main complaint from the Left that the Feds didn't do enough to help Louisiana residents? Are you suggesting the Feds should have completely stayed away from assisting?
