Welcome to another of my rants on society as we have it today. It has reached the end of another presidency and we have a newer if not less wonderful individual in the place of our previous good guy. I didn’t love the past president and I even opposed him on several points such as the TPP and on the way he implemented the Affordable care act but I didn’t go nearly as far as the stuff I am going into today. Some people out there have an agenda (such as hate the current president and his party) and to do so they work hard to fool people with any tool they can muster. This is easier than you think and has worked to turn a multitude of people. These are the conspiracy theorists, some of them are fun such as the fake moon landing or things referencing aliens but these below were abysmal. People like Alex Jones and the Newsmax organization make it a point to spread as many of these lies as possible to forward their agendas. Does Alex Jones know he isn’t telling the truth? Of course he does, but his followers don’t know this and for that reason I am going over blatant lies that have been debunked from various conspiracists over the past administration. Please keep in note I am only going to cover a few to make my point but know that there will be many more in the future so I am hoping you look at this and realize these things are not to be trusted or at least taken with a healthy bit of skepticism.
Yup remember that time he took all the guns? No? You've just seen another blatant lie.
1. President
Obama is taking our Guns:
This is
something I have seen pushed again and again. The president is coming for your
guns! They will talk about gun registries or potential bills worked out with
other countries to have foreign armies come to the country and disarm the
populous. If Americans love anything it is their guns and when they hear the
words “gun control” they move immediately to confiscation. Conspiracy theorists
tend to have stoked these fears and have done terrible damage in doing simple
things like closing the gun show loophole or expanding background checks. Many
have managed to get laws passed saying that their state will fight anyone who
attempts to take their guns away. Please note we had 8 years of President Obama
and 2 years of a democratically controlled congress. Don’t you think if his
main intent was to take guns he would have done it by now? Well the president
isn’t here anymore and you still have your guns silly peoples.
2. President
Obama is going to make this a Muslim only Country;
This goes
right along with the Attack on Christianity argument. Many of these theorists
portray President Obama as a Gay Muslim Extremist Communist (this alone should
tell you what they are full of) who plans on eliminating the bible as the basis
of all things American (also a bit of a stretch) and replace it with the Koran
which encourages people to abuse women and kill children as written out plainly
in their book (blatant lie but they aren’t reading the Koran). Really this
argument is for those “special” people that will believe most anything as even
Alex Jones won’t touch this one. Many believed that President Obama would
strike down Christianity and make this the new den for ISIS. Many will even
tell you he personally planned 9/11 following up with “well what did he do when
the planes his then?” (another stupid question from stupid people). Now in case
you are saying “we’re right he is making this nation a Muslim nation” then go
home as he is no longer president.
3. FEMA
Camps and Martial Law:
These two go
together these days and were made awfully popular after Bush the Second and
Katrina. Every time I would read something it was about how they have to be
careful because they would be disappeared off to a FEMA camp where they keep
the real truth tellers. Things like operation Jade Helm got the attention of
the Governor of Texas who was sure this was the beginning of President Obama
taking full control of the country and his time to install his 1984 agenda.
This is silly and I mean just silly. If these people really knew soooo much and
the government was soooo ready to lock up anyone that opposed their view point
then why are they still talking? Also we don’t need these supposed FEMA camps
if we want to disappear anyone we have two tools already at our disposal thanks
to the “War on Terror” they are called the “Patriot Act” and Guantanamo Bay,
both of which are usually highly supported by these same individuals. So as we
haven’t been placed under National Martial law I guess this one is also untrue.
4. The Race
War:
This was
another one for those “special” Obama haters. The theorists always seem to have
some sort of Pentagon contact (he lives in their closet and comes out at nights
when the moon is full) this contact gives information that the President is
about to unleash the power of those pesky “Blacks” on the country. He plans on
killing all the whites and then taking the rest as slaves in reparation.
According to the Census of 2010 African Americans make up about 12% of the
Population and whites make up about 63%. Now I am not a math guy but what kind
of drugs or liquor most one be taking to believe this swill. I mean these would
have to be Captain America style people to take down a population that
outnumbers them many times over. On top of that many of the stories in the news
talk about the opposite happening with many African Americans being in jail on
false charges. I will bet you that someone here was thinking about this theory
when they did that crap.
5. He will
Never Leave:
Why is it
that every president seems to get saddled with this. I remember this talk when
Bush was in office. “He started the Iraq war on purpose so he can argue that he
has to stay in charge till it’s over”. Then of course the sides switched and
suddenly everything is fine and those fine with the other guy are suddenly
convinced that that “Evil Black Man” will never leave office and that he will
employ all of the above to hold on to power. The presidency is a nasty thing.
Everyone projects their success and loss on you, you are hounded by the media
and researched relentlessly by your opposition so you are under tremendous
pressure. This is not President for Life status where you have supreme power.
Take a look at photos of presidents at the beginning and end of their terms to
confirm that this is not exactly a dream job. Of course even now they are
talking about Donald Trump doing the same “He’ll get a taste for the power and
then never leave”. This is crap, if he loses in 2020 he will be out of office
and if he makes it to 2024 he will leave then I can pretty much guarantee it.
I bring this
up because many people believe these lies and yet all of them are false. Will
you see Alex Jones doing a special called “how I was wrong about the Obama
Administration” of course you won’t and his followers will quickly forget these
lies and move on to the current crop. We will hear a great number of this sort
of thing about the current administration and you will see some of it here but
unlike others I will label it as what it is, Opinion, Speculation or shoot I
even have a comedy section called misinformation to make fun of these types of
things. In the end though I want you to
look at this article today and then again when we change presidents for the
next time. Be careful what you read and understand the difference between the
truth and speculation.
