Top Georgia GOP Lawmakers Host Briefing on Secret Obama Mind-Control Plot

From Mother Jones courtesy of AlterNet:

President Obama is using a Cold War-era mind-control technique known as "Delphi" to coerce Americans into accepting his plan for a United Nations-run communist dictatorship in which suburbanites will be forcibly relocated to cities. That's according to a four-hour briefing delivered to Republican state senators at the Georgia state Capitol last month.

On October 11, at a closed-door meeting of the Republican caucus convened by the body's majority leader, Chip Rogers, a tea party activist told Republican lawmakers that Obama was mounting this most diabolical conspiracy. The event—captured on tape by a member of the Athens-based watchdog Better Georgia (who was removed from the room after 52 minutes)—had been billed as an information session on Agenda 21, a nonbinding UN agreement that commits member nations to promote sustainable development. In the eyes of conservative activists, Agenda 21 is a nefarious plot that includes forcibly relocating non-urban-dwellers and prescribing mandatory contraception as a means of curbing population growth. The invitation to the Georgia state Senate event noted the presentation would explain: "How pleasant sounding names are fostering a Socialist plan to change the way we live, eat, learn, and communicate to 'save the earth.'"

Okay, this is my third post this week about the ongoing right-wing freakout over Obama's reelection.  No, I'm not getting obsessed with this.  At least, I don't think so.  But this is all definitely worth noting: if you didn't think the inmates are running the asylum called "conservatism," then, at this point, you'll need to explain why.  Because this shit's just too rich.

I mean, really.  UN takeovers, mind control, communist dictatorships.  It's the 90s black helicopter stuff on crack and steroids.  Except, of course, that back in the 90s these ideas were, to some extent, considered to be on the far fringe of the right wing, embraced by paramilitary "patriots" running around out in the country wearing fatigues.  In contrast, this event in the article linked above took place in the fucking Georgia state legislature, with the entire Republican caucus in attendance.  It doesn't get much more mainstream than that.

If you continue to believe that the GOP is a sane organization, this ought to remove any doubt in your mind.  If it doesn't, you're probably one of the crazies.  Seriously, this shit could have come straight off of AM radio's Coast to Coast program.  Absolute tinfoil hat kookiness.  That's the Republican Party.
