Conspiracy theorists are right after all

Those who regarded conspiracy theorists as crazies must surely have to rethink their position in light of recent events.

Bradley Manning who correctly and bravely exposed US war crimes has been jailed for the rest of his life, whereas the military personnel who carried out these war crimes have continued their military careers as though nothing had happened.

Edward Snowden exposed the practice whereby Government authorities intercept the private electronic and voice communications of ordinary citizens. Rather than make a firm commitment to resolve this unwarranted intrusion into people’s private lives, the Obama regime has directed all its venom at Snowdon. Once again: the whistle-blower is the problem and not the crimes that are revealed.

Obama has arrogated the right to imprison any US citizen on suspicion of being a terrorist without any due process. Obama decides who will be killed by drones in places like Somalia, Yemen, Pakistan, etc without having declared war on any of these countries. By any definition Obama is the world’s leading terrorist.

The Obama regime is attacking alleged Sunni Muslim fundamentalists by drone attacks but supported similar Sunni Muslim fundamentalists in Libya and now Syria.

The conspiracy theorists were right.
