Texas Governor Abbott Has a Conspiracy Theory

Written by SK Ashby

Approximately 1,200 military personal are scheduled to participate in a training exercise that, according to Alex Jones, is actually a prelude or dry-run for martial law and the march of the Agenda 21 Blue Helmets.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott (R) apparently has his own suspicions.

The governor's office announced in a statement yesterday that he has ordered the state National Guard to "monitor" the training exercise just in case they try something.

Governor Abbott directed General Betty to provide regular updates to the Governor’s Office to ensure that Texans’ “safety, constitutional rights, private property rights and civil liberties will not be infringed” during the eight-week training period from July 2015 – September 2015.

Abbott’s spokesperson said it was “not a fair characterization” to say the governor was reacting to right-wing paranoia. “He’s addressing concerns expressed by Texas citizens that are looking for more information about the factors of the operation and have expressed safety concerns about property rights and civil liberties,” his spokesperson said.

Reacting to right-wing paranoia and "addressing concerns expressed by Texas citizens" are, in this case, essentially the same thing. InfoWars is based in the state capital of Austin, after all.

I can scarcely imagine the look on the face of the Guard commander when the order was handed down.
