Conspiracy Anyone?

It's been a long time since I heard anything about conspiracy theories. Those who used to write and talk about them were rejected as idiots or malcontents. They were mocked and laughed at... until no one took them seriously. Societies that grew up around such theories have now been put in their place. Where have all the anti-UNers gone to? What ever happened to those who exposed the tri-lateral Commission or the Council on Foreign Relations for what they really are?

Are you done laughing yet? See, I brought back some memories for you. But before you fall off your chair in a humorous fit, you might want to consider this little insight written Sunday, February 15th, 2009. It was a lengthy piece written by Joan Swirsky, an award winning author. Ms. Swirsky wrote:

This leads me to only one conclusion, which I wrote about in a former article: “Obama: The Trojan Horse.” My theory is that President Obama’s narcissistic charm, even temperament, skill with words (teleprompter included), hunger to please, radical agenda, and subterranean rage at the “unfair” American system have been brilliantly exploited by powerful leftist radicals and Marxists in the United States, who for decades have plotted America’s path to socialism. He is their pawn, totally dispensable but handy while the “aura” lasts.

Now, I'm just a Basicguy, but that sounds an awful lot like a conspiracy theory to me. Does that make Ms. Swirsky one of those crazies we used to mock? I assume there will be those who will try to characterize her as such. However, if there is any truth to what she is saying (and her article lays out a very nice case for her position), that would be sad indeed, especially if we allowed ourselves to be kept from the truth by preferring the believe those who point a mocking finger. Notice what else Ms. Swirsky wrote:

These “handlers” saw in Obama the ideal blank slate on which to actualize their agenda, and they made sure the slate remained blank by concealing (or destroying) any evidence of his past, including his birth certificate, Selective Service record, visa(s), school transcripts, and other vital documents. All of which is costing his moneyed backers – including America-loathing billionaire George Soros – multimillions in lawyers’ fees to fight the proliferating lawsuits that seek the truth about this stealth president.

Would you like to see more? How about this:

It is clear that Obama and his fellow radicals are restive. In the less-than four weeks of his presidency, the new president has taken volumes from the Marxian handbook, which dictates that the stupid masses be blitzed with an overload of information, hollow press conferences, appointments, dismantling of formerly effective national-security programs, et al., in order to set the stage for a massive, Soviet-style takeover of our government, including a civilian national security force that Obama has said should be “just as powerful, strong and well-funded as the U.S. military.” Echoes of Nazi Germany in 1938, anyone?

Am I a conspiracy theorist? I don't think so. I certainly do not see a conspiracy behind every action. However, I think it would be hard to argue (as some would have us believe) that there have never been, or will ever be, conspiracies. I think there are extremes to each side of the argument.

Still, there seems to be something shady about the whole Obama rise to power. I have had my suspicions all along. But how can we possibly see through all the lies and seeming secrets... a vast web of deceit hidden behind locked doors? One thing is for sure, one day, everything will come to light. I just hope when it does it isn't too late.
