Well thank you and I mean that. I had literally never heard of the combined Texas National Guard branches being referred to as the Texas Military. If Rhode Island or Vermont did that, it would be a rightful source of amusement and even a chuckle or two. Texas? Well..They're big enough for it to carry more than one meaning if they ever choose it. Interesting...and learn something every day!
The advisory claims unspecified terrorists or a terrorist group will duplicate the Boston bombing by using backpack explosives. The target is said to be 6tth Street in Austin, a popular tourist attraction that is crowded on weekends.
Though this really pissed me off. There are A LOT of people on 6th street most nights. I can see why it would be targeted.

If terrorists were going to attack Texas they would attack the southeast corner of the state where the major ports and refineries are. The ports in Houston, Beaumont and Pt. Arthur is where the majority og military equipment is shipped in and out of Texas for Fort Hood in TX and Fort Polk in LA, and the majority of oil and chemical refineries as well as major pipelines are in the SE part of Texas too. Attacking Austin does nothing but wipe out the largest group of organized liberals in Texas.....hmmmmmm, false flag by Rick Perry maybe?

Since when did Texas have a Military command that was independent and State specific to the level of writing letter head and referencing that way in public? I've never heard of such a thing as they talk about here.
"Texas Military Forces" "J-3 Protection Branch"? Huh??? Has someone been watching too many movies in writing that document or has Gov. Perry gone a little funny and actually made his own State standing army? It's just weird... National Guard, yes? That reference? say huh...??

Rumors of Hipster Flash Mob got out of hand. Gosh, there are so many white vans in Austin that could be suspect for anything!
