Texas Governor Was Sent Pieces Of Tin Foil After His Texas Takeover Response

At least two clever Texans sent Gov. Greg Abbott (R) pieces of foil "for your hat" after he ordered the Texas State Guard to "monitor" the U.S. military's training exercise known as Jade Helm 15, Gawker reported on Tuesday.

The foil was a reference to conspiracy theorists who are sometimes characterized as wearing foil hats to prevent their thoughts from being read. The message was unearthed by Gawker reporter Sam Biddle as part of a public records request.

One of the foil packages reportedly contained the message: “For your hat! Thanks for making our state look like idiots!”

Additionally, a roll and a sheet of foil without any messages attached prompted an internal email within the governor’s office, according to Gawker.

“We will log in as opposing the State Guard monitoring the Jade Helm exercises,” Deputy Director of the Constituent Communication Division Dede Keith wrote of the foil. “I googled around to see if I could find someone calling on folks to sent it and came up empty thus far. If we get more, I’ll let you know."

The Texas Guard doesn't have time to monitor Jade Helm. They're all out there, trying to round up the people who sent tin foil. The governor is in danger!

The gangs of militias struggling to justify their own petty existences, poised to be the Heroes against domestic Muslim/liberal/left wing/black man invasions that never come, but are surely going to happen any minute, becoming themselves the terrorists, are just a sad, sad bunch, dangerous only because their paranoia is reinforced by the Foxs and Abbotts of the world and also encouraged to be armed to the teeth....such paranoia should not go to political waste.
