"The Obama Deception": Pure Paranoia, Demagoguery & Hokum (or "Alex Jones Is Still Nuts")

At the urging of one of my cousins, I watched the film by Alex Jones, "The Obama Deception."  It is crazy propaganda, a conspiracy theory on steroids.  I estimate that 40% of the film is paranoia, 40% sheer hokum, 10% sheer lunacy and 10% somewhat truthful.  The truthful parts, however, have their credibility seriously eroded by the other reckless and insubstantial claims.

It is an almost two hour long video screed of how a high cabal of international bankers rule the world behind the scenes, orchestrating every war, every financial collapse, every political upheaval.  This cabal is called such things as "the Wall Street Oligarchs," "the banking cartel," "the globalists" or simply "the elite."

The alleged reach of this cabal is amazing.  For example, they are described as being behind every dictator inspired war since Napoleon; they controlled not only Napoleon, but Hitler, Stalin, FDR, George Bush, and now, Barack Obama.  How and why the cabal did this is never explained.

Barack Obama is described as the most pro-Wall Street president in U.S. history, a mere puppet to the cabal, who slavishly carries out their wishes.

The conspiracists, mysteriously in control of market forces, caused gasoline prices to soar to over $4 a gallon a couple of years back.  They are now orchestrating the recession while they seek the financial collapse of the entire world.  Once it does collapse, they will buy up all of the world's productive assets and reduce all of us to a kind of slavery.

Of course, they ran the "false flag" operation called 9/11 (the "inside job" theory).  They assassinated both Lincoln and Kennedy for resisting the control of international bankers.  Al-Qaeda is described in passing as "an arm of the U.S. intelligence community."  What a bunch of frigging idiots.

This tiresome film does not explain why or how or even what is to be accomplished by this giant conspiracy, or what we should do about it.  It just wants us to be as paranoid as its authors.

This notion of a "high cabal" operating behind the scenes, controlling world events, is nothing new.  Robert Welch of the John Birch Society used to say that the (real) international communist conspiracy was only a front for the real villains, a high cabal known as the Illuminati.  The "Protocols of the Elders of Zion" was an anti-semitic fraud that sought to prove that Jews were a high cabal seeking to control everything.  Then there are the Masons, often accused of being a secret society with global-political goals, the Bilderbergs, the Skull and Crossbones Society, the Knights Templar, Alexander's Rag Time Band and Joe's Bar & Grill, among others.  Get a program; you can't tell your global conspiracists without a program.

There are indeed forces that wish to erode the sovereignty of western democracies, to be replaced with international laws and courts; the Kyoto Protocol, for instance, was one; the Law of the Sea is another; and a proposed world court in which American forces could be tried for crimes still another.  Cap and trade and global warming are a subterfuge by which income redistribution is to finally be achieved, making the world socialist and accomplishing the economic goals of Marxism under false pretenses.  But Jones & Co go way too far.

Alex Jones and his cabal of talking heads express many opinions in this film, few of which are supported by any facts or evidence.  In many ways they are more leftwing than rightist:  they despise Wall Street, oppose U.S. participation in any and all wars, despise corporations and are opposed to trade treaties like NAFTA.  They not only dislike their own government, they seem to hate it.

The "Obama Deception" is almost pure demagoguery.  Don't waste your time.

Oscar-Winning French Actress Trivializes 9/11 Dead

The latest young beauty celebrated by Hollywood, the French actress Marion Cotillard, has trivialized the American dead of the 9/11 terrorist atrocity on the World Trade Center. Cotillard, who played singer Edith Piaf in the film "La Vie En Rose," has stated that the World Trade Center attack was false, made up, a hoax. She claims the towers were brought down deliberately because they were too old and expensive to keep up, and (of course) for political reasons.

Cotillard also questioned the truth of the 1969 moon landings, another historical event denied by the extreme moonbat movement. I'm surprised they haven't yet caught onto the Christopher Columbus fraud, who never discovered America at all (we are all really native American Indians).

Denying the bonafides of the terrorist attack on America is somewhat morally equivalent to denying the holocaust. It trivializes and therefore intensely insults the 3,000 human beings who died in that conflagration and is slanderous in the extreme to the government of the United States. Only the most extreme lunatic fringe entertains such nonsense.

The good news is that Marion Cotillard, who looked to clean up in film following her Oscar win, can now count on the personal boycott of many Americans. I, for one, will never see one of her films, and I was planning on seeing "La Vie En Rose," one of my favorite songs by the great Piaf.

Over at the French rightist blog "5 Years Later," the French readers are criticizing Cotillard in their understated French way. One writer, Mi, asks if we can be sure that Marion Cotillard actually received the Oscar, or whether it was instead a believable imposter supplied by the FBI? Another writer says that we thought we were reaching for a pearl but only came up with an oyster. (An oyster to the French bloggers is someone who is completely out of touch with reality.)

Funny how nature compensates. It seems to be a law of nature that a Hollywood starlet's brain size is inversely proportional to the size of her breasts. But then, moonbats have their theories and I have mine.
