BREAKING: Texas Dared to Defy Obama’s “Martial Law” Exercises… Look How the White House Responded
“I have no idea what he’s thinking,” White House press secretary Josh Earnest said when asked recently about the reaction of Texas Gov. Greg Abbott to Operation Jade Helm 15, which involves special operations units of the U.S. military working with government and law enforcement agencies in several southwestern states.
The planned operation has conspiracy theorists abuzz and local militias on alert, as the operation is viewed by some to be a test run at implementing martial law in “hostile” cities and states across America.
But while the training mission may be just that, a training mission, it still has plenty of eyes watching it closely, including Abbott, who has ordered the Texas State Guard to “monitor” the operation as it occurs.
“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 said in the letter to Maj. Gen. Gerald “Jake” Betty, Commander of the Texas State Guard.
Abbott continued, “By monitoring the operation on a continual basis, the state guard will facilitate communications between my office and the commanders of the operation to ensure adequate measures are in place to protect Texans.”
Earnest admitted that he didn’t know all the details of the upcoming operation, but nevertheless assured the White House Press Corps that there was absolutely nothing to worry about.
“The thing that I can say without having a lot of detailed knowledge about the particular exercise is that in no way will the constitutional rights or civil liberties of any American citizen be infringed upon while this exercise is being conducted,” Earnest said, according to The Blaze.
Although nobody really has detailed knowledge of the exercise, except perhaps for those taking part in it, speculation has been running wild.
Some are saying this a trial run for a rollout of martial law, while others think the drill is cover for snatch-and-grab operations to round up and “disappear” dissidents.
Still others say this is normal procedure, and is likely training for special operations troops preparing to deploy to the increasingly unstable and threatened areas of Europe bordering with a resurgent Russia.
Whatever the case may be, many eyes will be watching as things unfold in the southwest states over the next few months, including the Texas State Guard and Gov. Greg Abbott.
