Finding the money trail within the Obama Deception

A two-hour film on DVD and released on YouTube, “The Obama Deception” is within the public mind again. As outlined by “The Obama Deception”, the US Government is a part of the “New World Order.” Some believers say that “The Obama Deception” is complete truth, others say it is a proven-invalid conspiracy theory.

The basic argument of ‘The Obama Deception’

You will find hundreds of individual arguments laid out in “The Obama Deception”. The basic crux of the argument is that President Obama is “a hoax carefully crafted by the captains of The New World Order… the international banks plan to loot the people of the United States and turn them into slaves.”

Financial industry arguments in ‘The Obama Deception’

The movie claims that various plots and plans are being carried out by international banks. Banks are an easy scapegoat and villain, since the banking system failure is large within the minds of most. Other Alex Jones films, though, have claimed that this organization — referred to as the “New World Order” — is set up by the Masonic brotherhood, by China and Gorbechev, by FEMA, by the United Nations, even by “America and England.” In short, Jones has changed who he believes is heading up the New World Order multiple times.

Following the money

Along with most other conspiracy theories, “The Obama Deception” asks you to “follow the money.” Applying this argument to both sides of the debate is very important, though. There are multiple TV series, talk shows, movies, and books created by media mogul Alex Jones. Once a year for the last few years, Jones sets up a “money bomb” on his website. The goal for all of these “money bomb” events are listed as the very same things, but Jones never seems to reach the goal, even with $ 250,000 raised each year:

“Alex will use this money to build a studio, a sound stage, purchase cameras and equipment, computers, expand office space and hire additional staff. Alex hopes to launch a new television show on the Dish Network, thus reaching thousands, possibly millions of additional individuals…”

Is there truth in ‘The Obama Deception’?

There are many, many individual arguments within “The Obama Deception”. Doing your own research on both sides is the best way to choose any argument. When researching, you should take each argument in a social, financial, and political context. There are some quotes and statistics in the movie that are somewhat questionable. You should take any and all conspiracy theories, including “The Obama Deception”, with a large grain of salt.
