Action-film star and martial artist Chuck Norris has warned Texans to be vigilant during a huge military training exercise that he fears could turn into a full-blown occupation of the state.

The 75-year-old spoke out against the multi-state operation, which will take place on the 'back door' of his ranch, as the Pentagon denied it was planning to 'invade' The Lone Star State - which has been marked on the operation's map as 'hostile' area.

The operation has created widespread panic, a host of conspiracy theories from paranoid residents and has prompted Governor Greg Abbott to call in the National Guard to monitor the situation. 

The Walker, Texas Ranger star, urged citizens to fight until their 'dying breaths' for liberty, 'especially when it appears those in power are trying to knock down Old Glory'.

The exercise, codenamed Jade Helm 15, will cover seven states in the southwestern US and test the abilities of 1,200 of the country's special forces. 

Norris said he 'laughed' at progressives in the media mocking Abbott's decision. 

'The US government says "It's a training exercise," Norris wrote online for right-wing site WND.

'But I'm not sure the term "just" has any reference to reality when the government uses it... What's under questions are those who are pulling the strings at the top of Jade Helm 15 back in Washington.' 

He said he sympathized with those who don't believe a government that has spent six years 'disrespecting the liberty of the citizens'.

He added: 'Whatever Jade Helm 15 actually is, I think it is more than coincidental that the FBI director just confessed in February that the presence of ISIS can be felt in all 50 states of the U.S. and that the Pentagon is suddenly running its biggest military training exercise with every branch of the military across seven Southwestern states. 

'Whether deterrence, display of power or something more covert or devious, let's not come with any patronizing nonsense of impotence and simplicity when its origin is in Washington.'

Norris suggested moving the military training south so the forces could 'protect our borders at the same time'.

Texans believe that a planned training operation by members of the US Special Forces community, pictured here on an operation in Fallujah in 2003, is part of a plan by the Obama administration to take their guns

Reportedly, the scenario for the exercise from July to September is that US special forces – posing as civilians - are sent into an enemy country and have to work with rebel underground fighters there.

Texas and six other states are hosting the exercises on public and private lands. The Army says the terrain and topography in the areas selected are ideal to replicate foreign combat zones.

No other governor had so publicly addressed the training exercise.

'It is important that Texans know their safety, constitutional rights, private property rights and civil liberties will not be infringed,' Abbott wrote. 'By monitoring the Operation on a continual basis, the State Guard will facilitate communications between my office and the commanders of the Operation to ensure that adequate measures are in place to protect Texans.'

Sceptics have claimed it is part of a scheme for Washington to take over Texas, subject its citizens to martial law and take away their precious firearms.

Mike Hightower, an antique store owner, told KHOU11: 'Well, I'm not trusting what we're being told. I think there's something a little more involved than what they're telling us.'

On the internet, opponents have come up with a theory in which US troops will use secret tunnels to take over five recently closed Wal-Mart superstores in Texas and surrounding states.

They claim the stores will be used to house the invaders and serve as 're-education centres' to brainwash free-thinking Texans with the liberal, anti-gun philosophy of Barack Obama's administration.

An alternative theory buzzing around the internet is that the exercise is designed to test the loyalty of local communities in preparation for a real takeover at a later date.

Special Forces officials say troops often train, dressed as civilians and armed only with blank ammunition, in local US communities, dividing areas into 'friendly' and 'enemy' zones.

However, they admitted that Jade Helm was a uniquely large operation.

The Pentagon sent out a senior military officer to reassure local people that they are not taking over anything but many remain unconvinced.

Wal-Mart has confirmed it is closing the stores but says it is only temporary while they are re-plumbed. 

On Monday 200 people packed a meeting in rural Bastrop County and questioned a U.S. Army commander about whether the government was planning to confiscate guns or implement martial law. 

Bastrop County Judge Paul Pape said 'conspiracy theorists' and 'fear mongers' had been in a frenzy. 

Pape thanked Abbott for the letter to the Texas State Guard, which he believed helped emphasize the benefit of the military training rather than further fuel theorists.

'It's a sad when people's greatest fear is their own government,' Pape said. 'Think about the ramification of that. If Americans go to sleep at night worrying whether their own government is going to sell them out before morning, it'd be hard to sleep.' 

'WE MUST FIGHT UNTIL OUR DYING BREATHS FOR LIBERTY': CHUCK NORRIS ON MILITARY OPERATION JADE HELM

Norris said he laughed as some progressives in the mainstream media tried to mock Governor Abbott for telling the Texas State Guard to monitor Jade Helm

Last week, I laughed as some progressives in the mainstream media tried to mock Gov. Abbott for telling the Texas State Guard to monitor the Pentagon's Jade Helm 15 military ops that are occurring this summer in seven states, including California and Texas. 

If you haven't heard about Jade Helm 15, you need to. It is multi-state training mission for special operations soldiers scheduled over an eight-week period in July and August, with most of the activity happening on private property but some public, too. 

The official website press release from March 24 admits: 'While multi-state training exercises such as these are not unique to the military, the size and scope of Jade Helm sets this one apart.'

Gov. Abbot was right in writing Maj. Gen. Gerald Betty, 'During the training operation, it is important that Texans know their safety, constitutional rights, private property rights and civil liberties will not be infringed.' Abbott is demanding 'regular updates on the progress and safety of the Operation.'

Concerned Texans and Americans are in no way calling into question our brave and courageous men and women in uniform. They are merely following orders. What's under question are those who are pulling the strings at the top of Jade Helm 15 back in Washington. The U.S. government says, 'It's just a training exercise.' But I'm not sure the term 'just' has any reference to reality when the government uses it.

'Well, I'm not trusting what we're being told,' said Mike Hightower, an affable antique store owner and real-estate agent in the very small town of Smithville, Texas, where some Jade Helm 15 exercises will take place. He added, 'I think there's something a little more involved than what they're telling us.'

If Washington wants to cool the embers of controversy, then it should quit stoking the fire, as with the posting of a map of Jade Helm 15 'just' exercises that label some areas of the country, including Texas, as 'hostile,' according to KHOU 11 News in Houston and verified by the Washington Post.

I have an idea: If the government insists on running expanded military ops across seven Southwest states, why doesn't it move all that 'military training' south and protect our borders at the same time?!

Whatever Jade Helm 15 actually is, I think it is more than coincidental that the FBI director just confessed in February that the presence of ISIS can be felt in all 50 states of the U.S. and that the Pentagon is suddenly running its biggest military training exercise with every branch of the military across seven Southwestern states. 

Whether deterrence, display of power or something more covert or devious, let's not come with any patronizing nonsense of impotence and simplicity when its origin is in Washington.

I'm glad Texas Sen. Ted Cruz is asking the tough questions of the Pentagon about Jade Helm 15, particularly because its 'exercises' come too near to my ranch's backdoor as well, at least according to the map. It's pretty sad and bad when major military ops are ordered in a large, fiery state like Texas and not even the governor or its senators know the specifics. 

To those who merely think we should check our brains at the door of the White House and trust what the government does, I would reiterate to you the words of one of our government's primary founders, Benjamin Franklin, who said, 'Distrust and caution are the parents of security.'

Again, he also said, 'Security without liberty is called prison.' But then again, I'm sure some today would accuse Franklin of being conspiratorial, too! 

...We must never check our brains or blindly trust, especially the government. Rather, we must fight until our dying breaths for liberty, especially when it appears those in power are trying to knock down Old Glory.
