These are boom days for conspiracy theories. You can’t swing a dead cat without hitting one. And who do you think killed the cat? Hmm?
We’ve seen the Birthers who demand to see President Obama’s birth certificate. We’ve seen the Truthers who allege that the U.S. government was in on 9/11. We’ve seen the Tenthers who cite the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution as justification for declaring everything from health care to income taxes as unconstitutional.
Now we have the debut of the Contrailers. Let me have Contrailer Creator Glenn Beck explain it to you:
Did you see the story today about the Chinese missiles and military? How many submarines they’re buying and how many missiles they have? And how they can destroy everything here in America with their missiles?
Do you really believe that that was an airplane contrail off the coast of California? Do you really believe that? Really?
That was a two stage missile. And don’t take that from Glenn Beck. Take that from Glenn Beck who knows an awful lot of people in the military.
Who launched that missile? Do you thinks it’s the military? I told you when that happened I don’t know enough about missiles.
Oh I do now. Oh I do now. And I talked to some military experts who know all about missiles.
What they’re telling you on television is bullcrap.
Really? That’s an airplane. Hmm. That’s an airplane. Shooting right out of the water. That’s an airplane. Why is it that it had the little…It had the little flame at the end?
I mean I lived in Florida. I’ve seen space shuttles launch before.
Come on. Two stage missile. That’s what that was.
Beck goes on to offer his theory for what the mysterious trails were:
China launches a missile to let everyone in the world know, including the United States of America, and especially the president of the United States of America, know how impotent you are.
There you have it. China somehow managed to navigate a submarine into the Los Angeles harbor without anyone catching on. Then they fired off an ICBM into the Pacific. And they took that risk and expense in order to emasculate the President. Makes perfect sense. Except for this.
You do know that insanity runs in his family, don’t you?
Just when you think “crazy” has reached it’s peak, Beck goes one better!
“China launches a missile to let everyone in the world know, including the United States of America, and especially the president of the United States of America, know how impotent you are.” Assume you’re adding this to the list?!
Oh yeah. It’s already there.
The Chinese sub part really isn’t that far fetched.

yes it is, we wouldve gone to defcon 1 had that been a Chinese sub launching a missile. there would be an incredible amount of American mobilization if that were anywhere near the truth. furthermore that’s a blatant act of war, which is definitely NOT in china’s best interests. a two stage missile? where’s the debris? the Chinese would not risk war with such a public and vulgar display of power. they don’t operate that way. and why think it was Chinese??? why would it be more likely a Chinese act of war over an American test launch? why go so far into the coast, launch a missile and give away your position like that? missiles also travel at like 8,000 mph, and that object was nowhere even close to that. are we surprised Joe beck latched on to this as a great big fear mongering conspiracy? really? I expected this honestly. This asshole is so stupid it’s fuckin STAGGERING.
HaHa… Thanks for that Mikie!!!
