July 15th Approaches
For those in the know, Operation Jade Helm – Obama’s secret plot to become king and herd all the white people into concentration camps – starts on July 15th.
The folks in Bastrop, Texas, are perfectly aware of that and have not been fooled by the army’s lame excuses that there will only be 60 troops in Bastrop and they will be stationed at a current National Guard base. No, sireeee.
[Republican] county Chairman Albert Ellison pulled out a yellow legal pad on which he had handwritten page after page of reasons why many Texans distrust President Obama, including the fact that, “in the minds of some, he was raised by communists and mentored by terrorists.”
Well, there ya go.
Even the white elected officials see racism in the bender set to purée when it comes to the irrational fear of Jade Helm.
Here in the soft, green farmlands east of Austin, some say the answer is simple: “The truth is, this stems a fair amount from the fact that we have a black president,” said Terry Orr, who was Bastrop’s mayor from 2008 to 2014.
Ya think?
The Washington Post this morning outlines pretty much what’s happening. And there’s now reason for all sides to be concerned.
Others suspect Obama wants to establish martial law to cancel the 2016 presidential elections and extend his term in office. Terry Wareham, head of the Bastrop County Tea Party, said she fears that the Obama administration might deliberately instigate violence between soldiers and Texans as a pretext for establishing martial law.
Yeah, well, Ms. Wearham, I fear the exact opposite. I fear you fools are going to try to start something. You guys are Cliven Bundy on steroids. You are damned and determined to shoot something. You’re just itching to play cowboys and black presidents, aren’t ya?
It’s gonna be a long, hot summer.
Thanks to Barbara in Bastrop for the heads up.
You realize that there’s no winning against these idiots, don’t you?
Once the time deadlines pass and Jade Helm doesn’t happen, they’ll just claim that, but for their diligence, their advance warnings, and their ability to absorb all the scornful commentary heaped on them, it by-God WOULD have happened.
Idiots.
1July 14, Microsoft ends support for Windows Server 2003.
2July 15 Operation Jade Helm starts.
Coincidence?
“The Obama administration has a history of attacking Texas,” on issues from education standards to environmental regulations to Obamacare, he said.”
So promoting education, clean air and water, and health care for the thousands of uninsured Texans is “attacking Texas.” I say, bring it on.
3I can’t wait until all of the guns in Bastrop are confiscated and the teabaggers are herded into Walmart’s tunnels and sent off to FEMA Camps for reeducation…
4Please don’t let these idiots get one of our precious service men or women shot. I fear that is where this idiocy will end.
5OK.
ANY chance that if we say to these rather “upset” folks that, after the day comes and goes (w/o incident), that they MUST admit they were wrong, they won’t instead say that it was a delay to fake the true believers (koolaid drinkers) out?
Reality; it has a liberal bias… ;-/
6“In the minds of some. . . ” sigh! When did we decide to start treating what goes in the minds of paranoid nut jobs as being worth taking into consideration?
7I am just flabbergasted by the idiocy. Is it a brain malfunction, social conditioning, something in the water of rural TX?
8Terry Orr and the rest of the tea partiers should be ashamed!
9My gawd, how stupid can one be? They bitch about Obama and the government, but when the time comes like the devastating fires and recent floods, they all stand in line for government help. I can’t believe I live among this bunch of hypocrites. Lord help Bastrop!
Hell, come to think about it, maybe we’d be better off if their guns were confiscated and the people were herded into empty Walmarts! BTW, no empty Walmarts here, so sayonara to a new place! Good riddance!
10Used to be the conspiracy wackos with their tinfoil hats just stood on streetcorners wearing signs and yelling. Now they get a big audience and loads of followers. The internet (and Fox News) have a lot to answer for.

“Flabba bloba blibbidy!”
11A solution to the problem;
Move the three largest military installations in Texas to Yankee states. No military, no danger, right?
12Is Texas having an outbreak of ergot, the fungus that some scholars believe caused the mass paranoia that led to the Salem Witch Trials? (*smirk*)
13I should start spending some time in the tanning salon so I am not so white. I’m afraid of enclosed spaces, so those tunnels connecting the Walmarts terrify me.
14This is the outcome of the planned conspiracy against teaching civics in the schools and thus, we have an extremely uninformed populous, easily lead by the nose by these angry “Tea Party so called Patriots” –how can such a disconnect exist when they claim they want no government, preach anarchy and paranoia and yet have no problem when taking money from the nasty government in the form of veterans benefits, social security-medicare or anything else they qualify for. These same Patriots are putting our servicemen and women in jeopardy–absolutely incredible–I wish they would learn to read and that includes the constitution they claim they love so much. Unbelievable.
15I am in complete agreement Rhea.
“Flabba bloba blibbidy!”
16Instead of ‘Beware the Ides of March’ it’s now ‘Beware the Ides of July’?
17Redwood, I don’t think “re-education” camps is the right thing. That implies that they have been educated in the first place. I mean, other than wing nut home schooling.
18“Instead of ‘Beware the Ides of March’ it’s now ‘Beware the Ides of July’?”
more like, “Beware the Idiots of July”. it’s kind of a pity Shakespeare isn’t around today, he’d have more raw material than he could handle, both comedy & drama.
19I don’t know what they’re so concerned about. The tunnels are quite nice. They have bathrooms, water, and msnbc. You get extra mre’s if you answer your political re-education questions correctly.
20Didn’t our fearless leader promise the Bastrop tinfoil hat crowd that he’d get the Texas Guard to monitor the military maneuvers? Has he released any information more specific than that, such as how many guard members will be involved, for how long, and how much tax money will it cost us? Inquiring minds want to know!
21Let us hope that playing Cowboys and Soldiers doesn’t result in any shots being fired. But when even the governor panders to the guys in tinfoil hats it does nothing to inspire confidence in a reasonable outcome. Throw in the totally paranoid fears revolving around a black president–well, does any reasonable person actually believe that poor beleaguered man wants to extend his time in the White House?
22Y’know, we could get these people to guard Trump’s Mexico wall. Just make them do it on the Mexico side! I’m sure we can gin up something they’ll believe. Once they’re over there, we can claim they’ve seceded and not let them back in.
This. Could. Work!
23These people are like the end-times preachers who keep saying the world is going to end next Thursday. Obama has NOT come for your guns, he is NOT maneuvering himself into a third term (as if he’s not going to leave with a big sigh of relief), the US military is NOT invading Texas and sending you all to the Walmart tunnels….
But, as SteveThe Returned said, when none of your bullcrap happens, you’ll say it was because of your gallant, patriotic, Xtian efforts in fighting off the big bad black monster.
Also reminds me of the fool who blows a whistle to keep the polar bears away. When informed that there are no polar bears within 2000 miles, he cries, “Look, it’s working!”
I get so, so tired of these morons and I wish to **** they’d all secede and let us get on with living sane lives.
24Rhea with “I get so, so tired of these morons and I wish to **** they’d all secede and let us get on with living sane lives.” I do believe you have uncovered Duh Strumpet Donald’s plan for coercing the Mexican government to build that wall. Send all our secessionists south and Mexico will have no other choice in the name of self-preservation.
But since the secessionists long for the days prior to the Civil War to be fair we can accommodate them, if such accommodations don’t cause a major inconvenience to others. Let’s give them a fist full of confederate dollars, a mule and 5 acres in the Marshall Islands.
25O brother, Bastrop on mescaline! As I recall mescaline is plant based, grows very well in the southwest, etc. Has anyone checked to see if there are odd bare patches in the local mescaline wilderness?
As for me, its July 14th, Bastille Day, which is celebrated in D.C. by waiters from French restaurants racing down the streets carrying silver trays loaded with filled champagne flutes. Whoever makes it across the finish line without spilling a drop is the winner. Now if Bastrop could celebrate July 14th like that, they wouldn’t have Concern #1 about July 15th.
26PKM, this country still has hold of an island in the Pacific where the indigenous population is not allowed to vote because when the U.S. claimed the island some nitwit in charge decided these people were inferior as in race. This was to be a temporary situation but like a lot of things it got forgot and has simply snowballed through the years. All it would take is someone else in guvmint to lift the temporary ban and admit these people have full rights. Yeah, like that will happen tomorrow! Since RWNJ’s are so in love with life the “way it used to be”, that’s the island that should get them. Once they find out that they are totally dependent on the IP’s cuz life on the island is not what they are used to, they will scream their heads off for the nasty old guvmint of the US of A to come and rescue them as they are flat out good US of A loving citizens. Tsk. Just can’t satisfy some people!
27Oh dear.
28This is another in a long series of reminders that paranoia is not justifiable suspicion and defensiveness. It’s a mental illness.
29These people are just really bizarre. Did the bunch of them inhale too much smoke when we were having all the wildfires? Or have the Republicans been spiking the Koolaid they serve at their meetings with some kind of hallucinogen?
30Jiggery-pokery and sheer applesauce.
I notice he cited “in the minds of some.” In other words, no facts, no evidence.
31That dang Obama has established “marital” law for everyone,why not “martial” law too,still yet?
32A huge “Fox News” information secret has been uncovered!
33It was revealed yesterday that folks like those in Bastrop, Texas and throughout the country have been using “Fox Google” without realizing it, for years!
Anyone who buys their computer. laptop etc from any of the various Fox News show has “Fox News Google” as their only choice for fact-finding information!
Fox News informs their users only what they Fox News think the users need to know and when they need to know it, nothing more nothing less! When a Fox News addict hears something on Fox, they know they can confirm the news by using “Fox News Google!
Slow and none thinkers have been for years taking advantage of Fox’s no credit check, no down payment on their various type of computers. Another outstanding Fox News selling gimmick is the monthly payment of $99.99 for only 99 months!
“Fox and Friends” and “The Five” sell more computers than all the other shows combined as ignorance breeds only more ignorance!
Billo leads in sales to the elderly, who are mostly confined to old folks homes and the bedridden.
Hannity has a complete block on white racists and the feeble-minded country folk!
When you see and hear folks on TV spouting their inane drivel, they more than likely got their info from “Fox News Google!”
I don’t much believe in “coincidence”.
I read this commentary JJ… and then I saw this ” http://www.texastribune.org/2015/07/04/texas-struggles-attract-mental-health-care-workers/”
As usual The Texas Tribune is on the ball on Texan’s priorities. 🙂
34I wonder if Ms. Wearham is by any chance related to the infamous Mr. Karl [or Carl] Ham Rove … Hmmmmm?
35I’m getting a case of reverse deja-vu. Back in the waning days of the W administration, I was beset by exactly these fears: that Cheney would drum up some bogus pretense to declare martial law and invalidate the election. Then, when Barack HUSSEIN Obama was elected, my fears took on a dose of steroids. I developed a case of insomnia which was miraculously cured on the night of January 20, 2009.
Of course, no such thing will happen with the wingnuts. As SteveTheReturned noted above, they will claim that their diligence prevented the take-over then when, as will likely happen, a DEMOCRATIC WOMAN enters the White House in 2017, all hell will break loose again.
I keep saying I’m going to move to Bonaire and just keep not doing it. I think it’s time.
36@Charles R. Phillips:
37You sir have hit upon a very effective idea. Obama should announce that all military bases in Texas will be closed to allay any suspicion that the Feds are taking over. The resulting uproar from your politicians would be “priceless.” Can you imagine the total economic value of our tax dollars spent to defend Texas? And, clearly many there don’t want us to. Oh, I would love to watch this happen. I believe a very effective way to combat the “extra-chromosome” (thank you Nancy Reagan) Right is to always go farther than they do in what you suggest. Punking them is so fun!
Sorry the only person raised by communist is Ted Cruz.
38So, we now know that the French Revolution took place during World War II. Pretty sure he meant Resistance but let’s not give him any ideas.
Anybody living in the Bastrop area who wants to cause a complete and utter tinfoil meltdown? Invest in a bottle of inexpensive bright red nail polish and make tiny dots on the side of random mailboxes.
