This week in conspiracy (6/21/10)

Hello. After reading this posting, I expect you all to report to your post office for vaccination and FEMA camp processing (real conspiracy...listen for my next podacast).

• "Oh...Afghanistan could be the "Saudi Arabia of lithium!" Ooooh! Big surprise!" say all conspiracy theorists in the world.
• Oily Taints claims election fraud, remains loon.
• Glenn Beck, finally admits that everything he is worried about is fiction. Also, owns sweater.
• It's nice to see Richard Hoffstadter's classic 1964 essay, "The Paranoid Style in American Politics," get some air time this week.
• Obama, cap and trade and global warming denialism--all this and less at WND!
• Obama, communists going to hurt you in November 2010. Right.
• Kliff Kincaid out-Alex-Joneses Alex Jones.
• US congressional candidate says that BP and Obama caused the oil spill.
• Are US citizens a crop of human slaves? asks Before It's News. The answer is of course no, because we would all be in better shape if we were to be used for manual labor. Duh.
• The real conspirator is Satan, says Pro-life news.
  
• I do like the opening paragraph of this review of Stonehenge Apocalypse:

If you loved 2012, you're going to have a blast with Stonehenge Apocalypse. However, if you possess a learned degree of scientific or historical knowledge or prefer your disaster movies to have even a shred of realism, be warned that the developmentally challenged Syfy doomsday thriller Stonehenge Apocalypse will probably make your head explode.

• I love to see Joseph Farah making an ass out of himself.
• Canada Free Press: Still Crazy After All of These Years:

"So who’s the enemy? The enemy is that which is opposed to truth, freedom, and God—call it what you will. Politically, we call it the Far Left—Marxist/Fascists."

• Vatican II: The work of Freemasons, or Louisiana flips out.
• Butthole, Idaho lucks out.
• Denver Airport officials: "You think we what?!?!"
• Bill Willers can't accept that 9/11 truthers often get completely reamed by skeptics.
• Before It's News reporter Bill Chapman: "Our usurping, non-citizen, ex-CIA, Islamo-fascist, Illuminist, puppet-dictator President, aka "the Joker," has done virtually nothing, as instructed by our Shadow Government, to stem the flow of oil into the Gulf of Mexico, courtesy of the BP Illuminist sabotage of not only the rig that was destroyed, but, in effect, of the entire US off-shore oil industry." And that's just the first sentence!
• The Ironton Tribune now publishes anything.
• 100% mentally disabled Marine Gordon Duff delivers again. He's my favorite fruitcake! This time, 25% of the US will be uninhabitable because of the oil spill.

Conspiracy of the week:

The most popular link at OneNewsNow is a woman who claims that Obama admitted to a high-ranking Egyptian official that he was a secret Muslim. Who reported this? Pamela Geller of AtlasShrugs.com. OK. Let's do a little link following. First, let's look how ONN states it, without editing:

Since before he was elected, controversy has stirred over the extent of President Obama's ties to Islam. During the campaign, he spoke openly of both his Muslim upbringing and his adult conversion to Christianity. But now two major Middle East media outlets -- Nile TV International and Israel Today Magazine -- are reporting that the president has admitted in recent months that he is a Muslim.

Now, while Nile TV is the purported earliest news source to report this, OneNewsNow can't provide a link. Hm. Israel Today, who has a really confused logo, doesn't have a link. They have a quote in BOLD, which somehow is supposed to make it truer. You search Geller's site, and you get no link to the original. You look at an article by Geller in the tragically misnamed American Thinker, and she cites someone names Avi Lipkin as a source. Avi Lipkin, is clearly reliable since he also think that for some reason, Obama's white mother crawled secretly to Kenya to have a baby, left absolutely no record there, smuggled the baby into Hawaii and faked a birth, all knowing that someday her son would be President. Or as he put it:

Today, the United States has a president by the name of Mubarack Hussein Obama. Until proven otherwise by a real live birth certificate, I would rather believe that according to the US Constitution, this president is ineligible to be president of the US because he was born in Kenya, not the US.

Well, you're clearly a tap dancing lunatic. No primary source anywhere. Let's go to NileTV, the supposed source, which is state-run. This should finally confirm everyone's worst fears!

Mega lame, OneNewsNow. Hella mega lame. I couldn't even find the show on their website! But at least Before It's News (that is, "always") is re-reporting it. You guys all suck. Seriously. Show me the interview.

That's all for this week. Now, if you will excuse me, I have to bathe in the blood of the unborn. Toodles!
