20. There you go opening up another can of worms!

Here is your link to the last paragraph :

Yes, a masterful take down there. But The Spectator... well... And Auberon Waugh was known more for being a wit, but was a Journalist who clearly spoke his own mind.

The differences in English terminology and ours makes criticism of ideology difficult. Some may claim you are using a RW source. I'm not so sure... And English definitions and experiences are very different.

I'll get back to you on that, or maybe not.

In the meantime, Obama and his time with the CIA are well documented by Wired:

Forget Kenya. Never mind the secret madrassas. The sinister, shocking truth about Barack Obama’s past lies not in east Africa, but in outer space. As a young man in the early 1980s, Obama was part of a secret CIA project to explore Mars. The future president teleported there, along with the future head of Darpa.

White House Denies CIA Teleported Obama to Mars



By Spencer Ackerman - January 3, 2012

...Perhaps this all sounds fantastical, absurd, and more than a little nuts. We couldn’t agree more. That’s one of the reasons we love conspiracy theories - the more awesomely insane, the better. Each week during 2012, when the Mayans tell us to expect the apocalypse, Danger Room will peel back a new layer of crazy to expose those oh-so-cleverly hidden machinations powering this doomed plane of existence. Welcome - back - to Tinfoil Tuesday.

Officially, the White House says Obama never went to Mars. “Only if you count watching Marvin the Martian,” Tommy Vietor, the spokesman for the National Security Council, tells Danger Room. But that’s exactly what a secret chrononaut wants you to believe...



OMG, Marvin is also black!

It is not known what exactly Obama did on Mars. (Socializing Martian health care, perhaps? Building a birth-certificate printing press?) His mission was a perilous one, according to Basiago and Stillings. The CIA wished to “establish a defense regime protecting the Earth from threats from space” as well as a legal claim to “territorial sovereignty,” making Obama something of a Martian conquistador. Presumably, Obama’s CIA handlers needed him to “acclimate Martian humanoids and animals to their presence” in order to secure the U.S.-Martian alliance. (We’ll bet you weren’t even aware of Martian animals.)

“Simply put, your task is to be seen and not eaten,” an elder chrononaut, retired Army Maj. Ed Dames, is alleged to have told a young Obama...

Never heard of that one, huh?

My favorite next to how cats were sent to Earth to spy on us for extra-terrestrials and how Alex Jones is a reptilian shape shifter who was once Bill Hicks and an agent of the Illuminati.

Haven't forgotten your posts on cop killing Infowarriors and their ilk. Now you've heard it all.

Have a Happy Holiday in your world, uhnope.
