Theory:
Obama's a CIA candidate. He's not FROM the CIA but they've helped him along at least for the past two or three years, maybe much longer. They spotted him as a young man with potential; they are people who plan long-term and keep more than one iron in the fire.
The long-term plan was to invade a major oil supplier and hold it by hook or by crook, more or less what we've seen, except the plan calls for a long-term hold. This requires continuity in government, and yet the people will tend to get sick of a government of war-mongering, soak-the-poor, rich fascist assholes and want change. THAT'S where a guy like Obama can be invaluable: Change Ucan Believe In! - - look, Ma, he's black. Howzzat for change? Out with the old. In with the . . . unfamiliar.
At some point, a few years back, with the 2008 elections specifically in mind, someone thought of Obama. He's perfect for the role. He should be in politics, start to make a name for himself. Certain media people are tipped off by people, known to the public or not, that this is a good guy, one of the good guys, with powerful friends and protectors. Be nice to him. Give him a hand up. The good guys will owe ya one. And a "meteoric rise" was crafted by people who understand how to craft a meteoric rise. Those whose job it is to think and to plan long-term easily foresaw the huge wave of disgust and revulsion that would sweep over the American people, easily foresaw the huge demand for "change" that would envelope the country, and if and when the time would come, they would be ready with a product, a candidate, who met that demand. If change it would be, here is our Mr. Change; and of course, if those who did not want change were to prevail, Here is our Mr. Stay the Course. Either way, the voters are gonna be buying house brand - - only why do they have to know that?
Does anyone ever think how uniquely unusual that "meteoric rise" from obscurity really was? How almost effortless it seemed? Can anyone name any other community organizer working the projects who rose so fast and so favourably in the MSM's estimation? Since when was the MSM so enamoured of black community organizers, black college professors, black anything? But along comes Obama and he takes their hearts by storm. Sorta. Remarkable, eh? Merkwürdig. So etwas hab' ich noch nicht vorgesehen.
What got me started on this line of thought was the Ramparts Magazine/CIA/NSA scandal of 40 years ago, which some of might recall personally. The National Student Association was the largest U.S. student organization with branches on every major campus in the nation. They represented the U.S. at international meetings of student organizations in an increasingly anti-U.S. environment and tried to present the liberal face of the U.S. to the world. The progressive, anti-racist, even anti-war (but "responsibly" anti-war, not like those filthy dirty hippies and traitors who rioted in the streets and spat on returning soldiers as baby-killers, not like the real anti-war movement) face.
Well, it turned out that for many years, the CIA had been buying off the leadership of the NSA. Without the rank-and-file knowing anything about it, the CIA had been paying off the NSA leadership with perks and promises of U.S. government jobs and postings, and in return the NSA executive (divided into "witting" and "unwitting") or at least the "witting" executives, had been spying on foreign student leaders and delegates, reporting back to their CIA handlers on them and presenting the line handed to them by the CIA. When Ramparts finally broke the story, it was one of the major academic scandals of the era.
So I found myself wondering, what if they followed, groomed and suborned "opposition" politicians, as they did student leaders, so when the time came when the people wanted change, they could have change, so long as nothing would really be changed. Of course the CIA doesn't give a shit if Roe v. Wade stands or falls, or if stem cells come from human embryos or pig placenta, so domestic change is always up for grabs, and if that's where Obama wants to make changes, hey, go crazy, Chief.
But that is my theory. As sirs would be the first to point out, it's crazy. Where's the smoking gun? Where's the contract in writing signed by Obama and the head of the CIA, "We back you and you work for us?" Where are the videotapes of the clandestine meetings where the deal was sealed? Don't have, never will have. Our best hope is that an ex-agent will surface and tell the tale. "He's nuts! He's got a book deal! He was never an agent!" But we don't even have that.
It's a theory - - the ONLY thing going for it is that it's not implausible. But no corroborating facts. It is a theory. Waiting for facts.
