Crazy Barack Obama Conspiracy Theories

During the 2008 campaign, many paranoid theories were floated on who the power behind the Obama campaign was. Most of the attention went to financier George Soros, but a vocal splinter group held that the real cash flow came from something much more sinister: Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez. Chavez is basically the boogeyman for America's anti-Socialist forces, so the thought that Obama was a puppet for his interests terrified Tea Partiers. Sure, Obama has spoken publicly multiple times in condemnation of the Chavez regime, but that's just a smokescreen.

The death of media gadfly (and shameful-ass racist) Andrew Breitbart has given Obama conspiracy theorists a whole new bone to chew on. A few days before he died, Breitbart appeared at a conference promising to drop a huge bombshell on the Obama administration. To Internet detectives, this constitutes a motive. Of course, after his death the "bombshell" was released - more footage of Barack in college hanging out with random B-list anti-establishment types - and nobody cared.

This isn't an Obama-specific conspiracy theory, as David Icke and his group of nutballs have been levying it at just about every world leader for the past century, but it's crazy enough that it needs to be shared. A secret race of human-reptule hybrids have been ruling the Earth for generations, and if you run pictures through a bunch of Photoshop filters, you can prove it for yourself. Because Obama is already of mixed race, it's easier for them to hide his reptile hybrid nature. How do they back this up? Well, Obama holds his head in a funny way... like a lizard. I'm not even kidding.

It's one thing to serve Satan, as a previous conspiracy on this list alleged, and it's another to actually be him. A certain splinter group of Tea Party diehards, including bonkers SNL alum Victoria Jackson, actually believe that Barack Obama is the Antichrist, as prophesied in the Book of Revelations. Of course, the evidence on the ground for this assertion is pretty thin, but that doesn't stop proponents from holding forth on the upcoming End Times.
