This conspiracy theory by “Pete Santilli, website host” is actually a black op by the Bilderbergs and Big Pharma to distract our attention from the plot to kill off most of the world’s population through chemtrails and vaccines. I’m surprised Dopers are too naive to see it. :mad:😕:smack: ---

> [@Little\_Nemo](#): > > I was reading about Pete Santilli, a website host who’s saying that Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama should be shot. And he’s rambling on about all the things he’s claimed they did. There was the stuff I expected about Benghazi but then he went on to say that Clinton and Obama was involved in the bin Laden conspiracy. Apparently he believes that the killing of bin Laden was faked and all of the SEALs who were on the supposed mission have been killed by the government because they knew the truth. How do you send real people on a supposed mission? Doesn’t it become a real mission then? If this was a conspiracy, it would have been easier to send fake people to not do something than to send real people and then have to get rid of them. And who has been killing off the SEALs; is there some kind of extra-special ops unit? How big is it; once you’ve got secret people killing the real people on the fake mission, are there more people in on the conspiracy, or less? And how did they get bin Laden to go along with this? Surely, once his death was announced he’d like nothing better than to embarrass the U.S, by showing up someplace all alive and shit. ---

We’re talking about the kind of people who believe Barack Obama is both a Muslim and an atheist. ---

No, actually I’ve heard that one before. The theory is that Bush didn’t really join the CIA when he became director in 1976. Supposedly he had been a covert CIA agent for years and he only came out in the open when he was made director.
