AlterNet exposes the "conspiracy involving some in the most senior levels of the Trump administration to end American representative democracy and replace it with a strongman oligarchy"

What if Donald Trump's conspiracy is even more sinister than we suspected?

Conspiracy theory? Or hysterical overthinking?

I have a conspiracy theory I want to run by you guys. HHS (Health and Human Services) helped the re-entry of the evacuated Princess Cruise ship Americans to the US. HHS workers were not given much protection (masks and gear) although the CDC workers were covered properly. No one told the HHS workers the protocol for dealing with a quarantine situation. A whistle-blower exposed this to the news.

HHS also works with the amnesty seekers at the border. If an undocumented worker/ amnesty seeker/ immigrant comes down with the coronavirus via the unprotected HHS workers, this would work to Trump's advantage. He would be able to proclaim that the immigrants were bringing diseases over the border and we can blame them for almost causing a pandemic. Only Trump and his marvelous wonderful uge bigly wall has saved us. (/s obviously)

Here is the link that explains it.

Benghazi

Benghazi  Benghazi!  Benghazi!!  Benghazi?  Really?  Oops.  Benghazi.

A colander fits just as well as a tin foil hat....

Sandy Hook school shooting was fake/ staged/ not real and set up just so Obama could take guns away.

It's a trap!!

Conspiracy theory:  because it would be irresponsible not to conjecture.... and sometimes so much stupidity demands an explanation....

High fructose corn syrup is making you stupid.  Or maybe it's lead.

 Because stupid people are easily suckered and easily led.

And people with money like it like that.

Whiplash...

Yes!:

Obama lets states opt out of No Child Left Behind

WTF??

Police pen up and mace female ‘Occupy Wall Street’ protesters

ROTFLMAO

NRA claims ‘massive Obama conspiracy’ not to ban guns

Sometimes graffiti tells the truth...

A fired up base

Makes for excellent financial profiteering. It pays to keep them hysterical, armed to the teeth, and ready to bring on the apocalypse...

Eugene Robinson:

There’s profit for the pundits, and perhaps personal advantage for some politicians, in calling President Obama a “socialist” and calling Judge Sonia Sotomayor a “racist Latina” and claiming that Democrats want to “take away your guns”—in creating and nurturing a sense of grievance among those inclined to be aggrieved. But what about those who might not understand that it’s all just political theater?

The Homeland Security memo made the assessment that “lone wolves and small terrorist cells embracing violent right-wing extremist ideology are the most dangerous domestic terrorism threat in the United States.” It recalled an April 4 incident in which three Pittsburgh-area police officers were killed, and said “the alleged gunman’s reaction reportedly was influenced by his racist ideology and belief in anti-government conspiracy theories related to gun confiscations, citizen detention camps, and a Jewish-controlled ‘one world government.’ ”

It’s clear that James von Brunn was a firm believer in this whole insane scenario long before the financial meltdown or Obama’s election. Maybe it was his personal financial situation that allegedly pushed him over the edge. Maybe he reached a point of no return years ago, when he made a bizarre attempt to take members of the Federal Reserve Board hostage.

What we don’t know is whether all the blast-furnace rhetoric coming from the right is giving validation and encouragement to some confused, angry man or woman with a rifle or a truck full of fertilizer—the next “lone wolf,” preparing to howl.

Update: Toles has an excellent cartoon:

Since Georgie brought up Nazi appeaser

It would be well to refresh ourselves with a little history lesson.



Prescott Bush, Georgie's granddad:

A BBC Radio 4 investigation sheds new light on a major subject that has received little historical attention, the conspiracy on behalf of a group of influential powerbrokers, led by Prescott Bush, to overthrow FDR and implement a fascist dictatorship in the U.S. based around the ideology of Mussolini and Hitler.

In 1933, Marine Corps Maj.-Gen. Smedley Butler was approached by a wealthy and secretive group of industrialists and bankers, including Prescott Bush the current President's grandfather, who asked him to command a 500,000 strong rogue army of veterans that would help stage a coup to topple then President Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

According to the BBC, the plotters intended to impose a fascist takeover and "Adopt the policies of Hitler and Mussolini to beat the great depression."

And those Nazi appeasers?:

George Bush's grandfather, the late US senator Prescott Bush, was a director and shareholder of companies that profited from their involvement with the financial backers of Nazi Germany.

The Guardian has obtained confirmation from newly discovered files in the US National Archives that a firm of which Prescott Bush was a director was involved with the financial architects of Nazism.

His business dealings, which continued until his company's assets were seized in 1942 under the Trading with the Enemy Act, has led more than 60 years later to a civil action for damages being brought in Germany against the Bush family by two former slave labourers at Auschwitz and to a hum of pre-election controversy.

The evidence has also prompted one former US Nazi war crimes prosecutor to argue that the late senator's action should have been grounds for prosecution for giving aid and comfort to the enemy.

Looking back to 9/11

Noam Chomsky speaks to the conspiracy theories:

Bringing back the 9/11 conspiracy theories again

Because I wandered onto this site where the argument in comments is on going.

The more I look at the PNAC neocons and Cheney, the more I think there is some truth in these conspiracies.
