Remember when sending troops to Texas was "cover for a Kenyan Muslim coup d'etat?"

"Jade Helm 15 was a planned military training exercise that became a fascination of conspiracy theorists before it even began. The exercise, which spanned several states, began in Texas in Bastrop County in 2015 and was described by federal officials as routine. But some conspiracy theorists speculated that the exercise was a covert effort to institute martial law."

"Interestingly, former CIA director Michael Hayden is on record that the Jade Helm hysteria, for which Abbott went like an 18-pound bass, may have been a beta test for Russian bots and hackers that encouraged them in their attack on the 2016 election. Because, if American politicians and citizens are stupid enough to fall for this, why wouldn't they fall for Donald Trump as president? The logic, alas, is inescapable."
