Obama conspiracy-theory porn
Ben Smith brings us up to date on the latest Obama conspiracy theory, courtesy of a former Lyndon LaRouche acolyte and a 9/11 Truth pamphleteer in South Bend.
Naturally, since this is a LaRouchie thing, they accuse Obama of being a closet conservative, "a pawn of -- wait for it -- the CIA, the Ford Foundation, the Trilateral Commission, and Zbigniew Brzezinksi." LOL!
(I actually tried once to read a lengthy LaRouche pamphlet in its entirety, after a LaRouchie on USC's campus gave it to me. I literally couldn't get through it. It was utterly incomprehensible due to its sheer lunacy and logical incoherence. Those people are nuts.)
Smith also notes that the Reverend Wright controversy isn't quelling the Obama-as-secret-Muslim rumors: "I just got a viral email trying to resolve a major source of cognitive conspiracy dissonance by claiming that Trinity United Church is an Islamic front." Heh. God bless America.
I think that EVERYONE is a closet conservative to the LaRouchies.
Heck, compared to them, everyone else IS a conservative - closets or no.

Speaking of South Bend, porn, and conspiracy theories, has anyone caught wind of this guy:

Why can't we stick to Obama = Nostradamus' "Mabus" character? I mean the french pronunciation of "mabus" is basically almost exactly Obama, it's sooooo obvious people. He gets elected (or is on the way to getting elected) and then he dies and then World War III starts right after and then we can still make the world end by that year 2012 promise. Conspiracy theorists, La Rouchites, numerologists, Astrologers, fortune tellers, and Nostradamites, we have to stick together on this.

I had no idea what the LaRouchies were until I read this post. Then, this morning, when I was walking to my office I noticed an odd looking man wearing a sign that said "The Devil is in your LAPTOP!!!"
As I was walking by he handed me a book with some interesting pieces of information inside, such as: MySpace: Murdoch's Nuremberg Rally, Facebook: A tombstone with a picture attached, Video games and the wars of the future, Where your computers really came from.
Wow.

Webster Tarpley has not been a member of any LaRouche linked organizations for at least 10 years. The slut is just "making money."
