The Summer of Right-Wing Paranoia Fizzles Out: Operation Jade Helm 15 Concludes With Nary a Military Coup
Just to close things out: of course it is about nothing but making money for toads like Alex Jones.
The Pentagon’s Jade Helm 15 military training exercises wrapped up on Tuesday, and here’s a shocker: Conspiracy theory goons like Alex Jones were wrong. Again.
Naturally, there wasn’t a takeover of either Texas or the broader southwest, nor were there military personnel and vehicles parading through the streets of various towns desensitizing citizens to the idea of a slowly boiling military presence, eventually leading to martial law, for some opaque reason that Jones and the others have failed to elaborate upon.
If you happen to live in Texas, the ambient noise you most often heard every night throughout the course of Jade Helm were crickets chirping — definitely not the sound of U.S. Army Special Operations Command troops (who, by the way, I thought we were supposed to support) marching through your town, implementing Obamacare, pardoning undocumented workers and replacing the Constitution with Sharia Law. But don’t hold your breath waiting for Alex Jones or Texas Gov. Greg Abbott to concede they were horribly wrong about the whole thing.
