Barack Obama Conspiracy Theory

Roughly 2,753 people were killed on September 11, 2001, by terrorists who overtook commercial airplanes (Jones). The cause of these thousands of deaths were a series of attacks in New York City by an Islamic terrorist group, Al-Qaeda. However, there are still many questions about what actually happened the morning of September 11, 2001. As there are many different conspiracy theories about what happened that day, 9/11 was an attack which began with Al- Qaeda hi-jacking airplanes, but ended with more questions than answers. Many questions still remain about the authenticity of cell phone calls from inside the planes, why air defense was told to “stand down,” and how three buildings imploded as the result of two buildings being struck by airplanes.

What if what you had been told your whole life was a lie? How would you feel if everything reported about a terrorist attack or a shooting was actually a conspiracy by the United States? What is a conspiracy? According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, a conspiracy is “a secret plan made by two or more people that is harmful or illegal”. There are so many conspiracy theories out there in the world starting as early as the 1800s. These theories range from scientific, terrorist, criminal, political, economic and business, and even religious conspiracies. The two conspiracy theories that I am talking about is the attack that changed the United States, as we knew it, the one that we believed was a terrorist attack, also known as 9/11, and the Sandy Hook shooting. There are multiple reasons that lead me to consider these two attacks to be something more than a terrorist and criminal attack. The reasons are because the timelines do not add up, there are too many inconsistencies, and the benefits are too great.

Coincidentally, the three buildings that suffered damages that day housed some very important people. At the time of the attacks, there were almost eighteen thousand individuals in the World Trade Center alone (9/11 By The Numbers). The twin towers were expected to have fifteen thousand people clock in around ten thirty am. In all, a total of thirty three thousand people were put in harm's way on that devastating day. Al-Qaeda was obsessed with producing mass casualties with their impending outbreaks. This desire routed them away from lower civilian population dense areas and were most interested in areas like the White House or the Statue of Liberty. It was more attractive for Al-Qaeda to attack venues with very high civilian populations,

The Hillary Clinton campaign for president in 2016 has been plagued by conspiracy theories that are used as attacks by Donald Trump supporters. For decades the Clinton family has been in the eyes of the public. Ever since some of the mysterious aspects of Bill Clinton’s presidency have come forward, the Clintons are never far from a conspiracy theory. Though some of these theories may be a little hard to believe, in most cases there is strong information to support these claims. There are different aspects of the Clinton’s lives that conspiracy theorists like to target. Some examples are the Clinton body counts, or the people supposedly killed by the Clinton’s, theories on the health of Hillary, and The Reptilian Elite. There are all kinds

During his first year of presidency he focused on fixing areas of the government President Bush failed to properly oversee; one being aspects of Bush’s war on terrorism. Obama began his destruction with the CIA; in regards to interrogation tactics, Obama dispelled secret memos hidden by the Bush administration, causing much controversy in the government. This incident brought much attention to other faults that occurred during the previous presidents reign.

Once you believe in a conspiracy it is easy to believe in the possibility of other conspiracies even if the other conspiracies are improbable and contradictory. Conspiracy theory is defined as “a proposed plot by powerful people or organizations working together in secret to accomplish some (usually sinister) goal.” Conspiracy theorists’ skepticism of official narratives may be so intense that many alternative theories are simultaneously endorsed in spite of many contradictions between them.

Texas Theater where Oswald was arrested says that Oswald was at the theater the exact moment Officer Tippit was killed. “The bullet shells from an automatic pistol found at the Tippit killing scene don't even fit Oswald’s only known handgun which was a revolver” (Groden 23). “The doctors who labored in a futile effort to save Kennedy’s life at the Parkland hospital all had stated that in contemporaneous interviews that the wound in his throat had been and entrance wound. Wade and the FBI had concluded that Oswald was directly behind the president and that he alone had fired a weapon in Dealey plaza.” (Lane 17). So if he was directly behind the president how could he create and exit wound in the front of John F. Kennedy’s throat. Also if the

President Obama came into office in the aftermath of the disastrous foreign policy record of the Bush administration. The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 had served as a “switchman,” leading to the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. The Bush administration exercised unilateral use of force and reluctance to engage the international community. As a result global elites and publics viewed the US unfavorably. The US economy was negatively affected by the costs of the wars coupled with the financial crisis of 2007. It was this environment that defined the contours of the election campaign of 2008. Obama campaigned on the idea of change, which represented a regeneration of America through domestic public policy reform and a return to multilateralism in foreign policy. Both domestic and international publics and elites were galvanized by Obama’s message.

Contrary to official explanations of key events are conspiracy theories, alternate explanations that point out coordination and intent by figures and/or powers outside of the accepted knowledge. People love a narrative that comes with a conspiracy theory, it’s the reason why a theory never vanishes. One theory that never vanished was that the death of Tupac Amaru Shakur. Reasons behind conspiracy theories are to basically keep the conversation going. Conspiracy theories give people an out to believe something else must have occurred instead of what has been told through the media. People want to hold on to something or someone as long as possible until they want the answer they feel is right. Almost twenty years after the death of Tupac Shakur,

While Obama is campaigning for the upcoming presidential election, many citizens have voiced their opposition to re-electing him into office. The economy’s downward spiral over the last four years has affected his loss of votes and now the

Many would agree that it is far too soon to determine President Obama’s place in history. As Nate Silvers mentioned, “second-term presidents may be ridiculed as lame ducks, but it is often doing the second term reputations are won or lost.” The reasoning behind that may be because most presidents suffer from a deadly infection known as the second-term curse. The second-term curse is the tendency of second-terms presidents of the United States to be less successful than their first terms; as a result of some scandal, some sort of calamity, or additional difficulties. According to Nate Silvers, President Obama is doing well so far. First, President Obama won a second-term, something only about half of the men to serve as presidents have done

Sreedhar Potarazu points out in his article “Obama's legacy is at stake” the future of the president’s mark on history. He wonders how, if the ACA doesn’t endure, the president will be remembered. Of course the first black president will always remain his honor, but as far as presidential achievements go where will Obama stand in the halls of American greatness? Potarazu is quick to point out other great leaders from our nation’s past and their noteworthy achievements in order to set a baseline of comparison for President Obama. The author even makes sure to mention such famous phrases as “Iran Hostage Crisis,” “Tear down that wall,” and “Read my lips” only to dramatically drive home the importance of a presidential legacy.

Before the 2010 elections, many people felt that they were, as the documentary stated, betrayed by Washington and Wall Street. This betrayal came due to many different reasons, including Barack Obama not showing his birth certificate, and Barack Obama not using advice from the House of Representatives or Congress for who he should direct his speeches toward. After the 2010 election, things went downhill for President Barack Obama due to decisions and actions he did. The House of Representatives and Congress went from having the Democratic Party being the majority to the Republican Party being the majority. After 2010 the “Divided States of America” brings up many polarizing topics including President Obama talking to John Boehner and shootings.

The last part is emphasized by Obama because he gives rhetorical questions (“…, what change will they see?”, l. 97, “What progress will we have made?”, ll. 97-98) that should make the people think about what they did, what they changed and what they

Barack Obama uses legitimate power. Legitimate power is based on the user’s position, power, given by the organization. (Lussier and Achua, 2013, p.150). Barack is an effective leader. As long as he isn’t breaking the law, he can have executive agencies to do anything he wants. Of course he is aware of congress being able to remove him if he abuses his power. Barack Obama is quite powerful. He has the ability to veto bills congress sends him. He also designates a large number of powerful positions. Individual who the president chooses is almost always approved. He can also fire a lot of these appointed officials, again giving him power over how these departments are run. He is Commander of the military, so he can move military resources around
