Obama's Secret Plot To Bring 100 Million Muslims to the US

Behold the mother of all anti-Obama conspiracy theories.

In the past few years, paranoid conservatives have cooked up all sorts of conspiracy theories about President Barack Obama. Some have claimed he has a secret plan to confiscate guns. Others have said he has a secret plan to confiscate IRA accounts. Still others have contended he's setting up clandestine FEMA concentration camps. And, of course, there's the big one: Obama's is an undercover socialist purposefully trying to wreck the US economy so he can implement a dictatorial takeover. But here's the mother of all right-wing conspiracy theories: Obama is scheming to bring tens of millions of Muslims—perhaps up to 100 million—from the Middle East into the United States in order to turn this country into an Islamic nation by the end of his second term.

Fortunately, this diabolical plan has been exposed by an American-born Israeli named Avi Lipkin, who says he once was a translator for the Israeli government, and an outfit called Special Guests, which books conservative commentators and advocates on popular television and radio talk shows. Lipkin's website claims that since 1990 he has lectured on various topics—including the threat of Islam and Israel—in over 1000 churches and synagogues in the United Sates, Canada, England, Greece, Israel, and other countries. His bio notes that he heads the Judeo-Christian Bible Bloc party in Israel. (The party's Facebook page listed 103 members yesterday.)

This week, Lipkin and Special Guests sent an email to television and radio bookers pitching the biggest story of all time:

According to Arabic language broadcasts intercepted and interpreted by Lipkin and his team, "The Moslem world is saying that President Obama wants amnesty for the current Hispanic 12 million illegal immigrants in the US in order to pave the way for the next wave of tens of millions of illegals from the Middle East to the United States, leading to 50 to 100 million Muslims living in the US before the end of Obama’s second term, which will be brought forth by these new US citizens voting for their savior, Obama."

Lipkin, who also goes by the name Victor Mordechai, claims to have "a source with a senior United Nations official" (whatever that means) who says that the United States "will be a Muslim country by the end of Obama's second term." This grand plan is so organized that it even has three parts. Phase One: Obama foments unrest in "each Middle East country" so that these regimes are toppled and replaced by "fanatic" Sunni Mulsims, who go on to "overthrow the competing Shiite regime in Iran without involving American troops." Phase Two: A massive exodus of Muslims heads toward Europe, Canada, and the Unites States, turning all of these Western nations into Muslim countries. Phase Three: The nations now controlled by Islamic extremists "march on Israel in an effort to destroy it" and Obama "keeps his promise…to destroy Israel."

1. WTF doesn't even begin to describe my reaction.

What scares me is the number of idiots that will actually believe this.

[snappyturtle]

4. That's true. Look at Glen Beck....hope his time is ending. Scarborough

came out against him this morning of MJ saying that Beck is bad for the conservatives and Faux News! I could have completely agreed with that statement had Joe said Beck is bad for ALL Americans...but alas, he didn't.

[leveymg]

2. OMG - then they plan to outlaw Bacon Cheeseburgers and Beer! It's war, genocide!!

To arms!!!

[Ohio Joe]

10. We must fight for our bacon!

:rofl:

3. "An American-born Israeli"

And he's nuts. Gee, what a surprise.

[PCIntern]

8. Care to explain your post to the rest of us...?

My cousin is now an American-born Israeli and is no nuts, just to let you know.

[TomClash]

9. And there are plenty who are

People who emigrated from Brooklyn and other places in the US to the "great nirvana."

I didn't mean to dis your cousin but it is not surprising that one of Israel's many "Glenn Becks" is from Flushing.

5. That load of crap is believed in my area.

Our town ( and state) is Republican.
Our weekly newspaper carries a "column" by a local guy who spouts off these talking points.
A few weeks ago he babbled, in his usual disjointed way ( think Beck logic after a 6 pack or 2)
about "over run with Muslims" and " a plan to breed anchor babies" and "in 50 years there won't be any more Christians". All dressed up with "studies show" etc.
fundies down here should like an Muslim overlord. They already hate drinking, sex and anything else that might feel good.

6. Well, there goes our Purity of Essence...

Why hasn't Glenn Beck picked up on this attempt to impurify our Precious Bodily Fluids? This is primo chalkboard material!:silly:

7. The trouble with conspiracy theories like this is that they distract from the REAL conspiracies...

...of transglobal corporations, war profiteers and the super-rich, to rob us all blind and turn us into slave labor and cannon fodder.

And there are damn few news entities helping us to understand these true conspiracies. In print media, I can think of only two. The New Yorker. And Mother Jones.

So I was wondering why MJ is wasting precious investigative resources and ink on this nutball conspiracy theory. Haven't read the whole article. (Maybe they have a point.) But that is what first occurred to me, reading your excerpts above. Why should I bother to read this? I KNOW that far rightwing billionaires are generating this stuff as a distraction (along with (s)electing scumbags for congress, governor & state legislators, with their 'TRADE SECRE' voting machines) (--you want to talk about a CONSPIRACY!*). I KNOW that every rightwing nutball idea that isn't directly generated by some far rightwing nutball billionaire will nevertheless get some air time. So what else is new? How do we deal with the REAL conspiracies? How do we get info out? How do we throw these corporate M_f_kers off our backs?

--------------------------

*(You want to know who funded ES&S/Diebold, which is now 'counting' 80% of our 'votes' with 'TRADE SECRET,' PROPRIETARY programming code and virtually no audit/recount controls? Far rightwing nutball billionaire Howard Ahmanson, who also gave one million dollars to the extremist 'christian' Chalcedon foundation, which touts the death penalty for homosexuals--among other things. Now there's an issue that merits investigation!)

11. Good News!!

100 million immigrants coming here with all their oil money will revive our economy.
It will be high times again!

Bring 'em on. New customers, more houses, cars and groceries sold.

That Obama is one smart fella, eh?

[WhiteTara]

12. oh right. He's letting Hispanics have a free ride

by deporting them by the 10s of thousands.

How stupid.
