We do! We do!
I’m almost afraid to ask, but… Please, please, please, for the love of God PLEASE tell me that the “Obama is a Reptile” site is a joke.
What more do you want?
This site has PHOTOGRAPHIC proof that Barack Obama is a reptilian!
You know you can always trust a site that has as its byline “The Freedom of Knowledge, The Power of Thought ©”
How the fuck does anyone believe this crap? I mean, he has a picture of Little Obama’s arm, zoomed in to the extreme, with a series of letters pointing to random pixels on the sides… And this shows, what? That old pictures have crappy resolution? That’s GOT to be a parody.
Unfortunately it’s deadly serious. Barack Obama is a lizard.
But don’t start thinking that this is a a political. It’s not. Bush snr and Jnr are also lizards. As is Queen Elizabeth II, Rupert Murdoch and almost every powerful or influential person on the planet.
These alien lizards control the world through human hybrids created in Atlantis and fostered by the pure-blooded vampire space lizards to provide them with human sacrifices.
Didn’t you watch the video I linked to earlier?
Obama has several lizards implanted in his head, nd they are looking out through the back of his skull.
This is not a parody. It is a serious threat to our way of life.
Please pray for our President.
I am surprised that a man of your intelligence was not aware of the threat posed to humanity by the Great Lizard Cospiracy.
Get some education man. Don’t be a sheep.
ETA: I had to this to make it clear that the tone of this post is a joke. When dealing with something this ludicrous parody sometimes get lost
Unfortunately the *facts *in this post are real. I wish *they *were a parody, but David Icke has managed to convince hundreds of millions that not only is Obama a lizard, but that the whole world is ruled by Vampire Space Alien Lizards From Atlantis. I wish I was making that shit up, but unfortunately I am not.
He might be right about Murdoch.
Murdock IS evil, but I have on good authority that the Atlanteans are a noble and peaceful race of beings whose only purpose is to ease Humanity through its growing pains. And they apparently like our women, as well. I can’t fault them for that. I like our women, too.
Blake, I know that the creators of these websites are probably serious about their delusions (that is the sites are not satirical) but do you think that a significant amount of people actually believe that Queen Elizabeth and Mr. Obama are actually alien/human hybrids?
That’s just what they *want *you to think.
Of course they like our women. They want to breed lizard hybrids. Like Obama.
Icke fills 5, 000 seat conference centres around the world and sells tickets for >$50 each. I can’t find figures on his book sales, but the damn things seem to be for sale in every book store in the world, so I imagine that he has sold half a million at the very least over the 10 years he has been spewing this shit. And of course Icke isn’t the only proponent of this guff, not by a long chalk. He’s just the most famous. So I would guess a few million people believe this crap across the western world. So there’s probably as many again producing the same message. That pus these beliefs on the same level as the Jehovah’s Witnessess, Libertarians or Occupy Movement.
Is that a significant amount? Given the lunacy of what is being proposed, it’s far too many IMO. I am saddened that he can find anyone who believe this nonsense.
Heh, dang Blake, I actually believed you for a minute there. I thought you actually WERE crazy!
So… Why do people buy into this kind of stuff?
I am crazy.
Just not crazy enough to believe in Alien Vampire Lizards From Atlantis.
When you find out, let me know. Maybe we can come up with a cure.
Cure? Are you crazy? What would we do to entertain ourselves if people didn’t buy into this stuff and give us something to laugh at, huh? What then?
If you mean that there is a star chamber running the country, no.
If you mean that our democracy has eroded and we have started a relentless slide toward third world status where there is not concern for the common good and you can only get the government you, personally, can affort to buy well then yeah, that’s where we are headed.
When people think of the third world, they think of chickens running around in the street and unpaved roads, but more than anything, the third worls is a state of mind. A friend of mine calls what we have now in the US, the Citizenship Platinum program, whereby you can spend a little extra not to have to put up with the same level of disfunction as the commoners.
You sound like there was a time when everything was bliss. Some call it ignorance. What I’m saying is that at one point one starts paying attention to what’s really going on in the political process and more and more you get involved more and more you realize how screwed up everything is.
However, I’d like to know what decade you would point out as the decade that, when compared to the current one, things were “better”.
Thomas R. Dye wrote the books Who’s Running America? and updated them every few years. They were required reading for a lot of Macroeconomics 101 classes.
The most recent edition is from 2002 so it’s a bit out of date with names and institutions but gives you an idea of the structure.
I would point to the 80s as the point where we got off the right track. That is when we began dismantling the social safety net, embracing full on deregulation of the financial industry, and slowing down social mobility. I realize of course, that the US has a long history of political exclusion based on racism, but we had embraced constantly increasing inclusiveness prior to that time.
I believe the point of no return for the US was the invasion of Iraq. We had a US president prancing around in a uniform on an aircraft carrier like some third world tin-pot dictator, we fatally undermined our national credibility as a force to promote democratization in the world, we saddled ourselves with crippling and pointless debt, and we have allowed personal liberties to become a quaint memory.
Adding to our woes, we have reached a tipping point, whereby our politicians pander to the religious fanatics to the point that we give the teaching of science and the teaching of theology in our science classrooms equal time. We also have managed to convince our white working poor that a) they are middle class; and b) they will some day be rich, so that they defend this system of privledge for the wealthy. In fact, the US is no longer a socially mobile meritocracy: you will die in the class you were born in to and so will your children (if they are lucky).
Iraq was a big mistake, but Vietnam was a bigger one. Bush wasn’t wearing a “uniform”, and he’s long gone from the political scene. The idea that “personal liberties are a quaint memory” is hogwash.
Factually incorrect. Not even close to being the case.
Got a cite for that?
More scaremongering.
This whole schtick about the US being (ore becoming) a “third world country” is getting tiresome. Especially coming from someone who, IIRC, has been to several TWCs.
So, compared to earlier decades, things are getting better then?
Didn’t say that. But thanks for asking!
It maybe could be argued that several European countries are sliding into Third World status, but even that would be a tough argument to make. And since the entire First World is going through a tough time right now, the fact the US is, too, only means we’re pretty much like the rest of the First World.
So, unless you want to argue that entire First World is heading towards Third World status, singling out the US doesn’t really make much sense. And since the whole First World/Third World comparison is relative, it make even less sense. Unless you think the Third world is on track to overtake the First.
It is odd that you don’t think Bush was wearing a uniform, he was wearing a flight suit that is worn by military personnel when piloting an aircraft, how is that not a uniform?
As for Vietnam being a bigger mistake, I disagree. Vietnam occurred in the context of the bipolar cold war. The alternative to the way of life America was presenting was the Soviet model, which was clearly not attractive. The invasion of Iraq occurred after the collapse of the Soviet Union at a time when the world order was in flux. America’s invasion of Iraq happened precisely at the moment when the status quo was being questioned. We undermined our credibility right when we needed to be reinforcing it and we will never get that chance again.
Do I really need to provide a cite for the fact that low income whites vote Republican? http://caffertyfile.blogs.cnn.com/2011/09/22/what-does-it-say-that-most-of-the-10-poorest-states-are-republican/
You are correct that I spend a lot of time in the third world, I’m there right now. And in July, when I visit my brother in southern Virginia, I’ll be there again. There are traffic jams in front of the Wal-Mart when, once a year, dentists provide free health care in the parking lot. I’ve seen that before, when Doctors Without Borders comes to a village in the Third World. In both cases, the recipients get their health care when some first worlder takes enough pity on them to give them to travel to their blighted community and give them a handout.
People think the third world is all malnourished child laborers toiling in a field. But the third world also has really nice shops and lots and lots of private security. The thing about the third world, is that there is no middle. You either are affluent, or you are little people. Sound like anywhere you know?
Do you honestly not see anything troubling and perverse in a society where one of the candidates has declared “corporations are people” and where school districts avoid teaching evolution to “avoid the controversy?”
Nice answer. 
Funny. Actually America is controlled by whoever owns their debts.
