Iranian news agency says the U.S. is secretly run by Nazi space aliens. Really.

If there's one resource this world has in abundance, it's human insanity.


Iran's semi-official news outlets have something of a reputation for taking conspiracy theorism to the next level. They've written on Israel's secret plans to annex Iraq, the conspiracy by Western media to fabricate quotes by Iranian President Hassan Rouhani condemning the Holocaust and the secret Jewishness of the British royal family. You may notice a certain theme here.

On Sunday, the hard-line semi-official Fars News dropped one of its biggest bombshells yet: The United States government has been secretly run by a "shadow government" of space aliens since 1945. Yes, space aliens. The alien government is based out of Nevada and had previously run Nazi Germany. It adds, for timeliness, that the controversial NSA programs are actually a tool for the aliens to hide their presence on Earth and their secret agenda for global domination. This is all asserted as incontrovertible fact with no caveats.

There are so many wonderful details here. As proof that aliens were secretly behind the Nazis, the report explains that Germany built hundreds of submarines toward the end of the war, far more than would have been possible with mere human technology. It does not explain why aliens with access to interstellar travel built subs that were so grossly incapable against the British navy, or why all-powerful extraterrestrials were unable to help the Nazis resist an invasion by Allied forces that are mere cavemen relative to their own technology. So far, these are pretty unimpressive aliens.

In any case, after losing the war, the aliens apparently installed themselves as the secret force behind the United States government. President Obama is said to be a tool of the aliens, though anti-alien factions within the U.S. government are fighting to topple him. Their present aim is to install a global surveillance system that will, somehow, allow them to finally impose a one-world government and enslave humanity.

But Wiki suggests otherwise, based on the dates of airing.

Weird and wild stuff.

It's not the Tall Whites, they just have one base here and spend their free time in Las Vegas, not DC. It's the Greys, the control Area 51 and have all those underground bases that make humming sounds in Indiana.

Iran doesn't have very good intelligence.

agree that they're a shitty organization, but I doubt they made this story up out of whole cloth.

but what I saw is that the story originated on some U.S. blog and that Iranian press picked it up, like something the way that China News Agency has picked up Onion articles. The Washington Post picking it up is a smear campaign against Iran, the same way they do against North Korea. All these crazy stories coming out about North Korea, you don't think that shit is coordinated?

who say any old shit about Russia, in the knowledge that some gullible people will fall for it. They don't do it for satire; they get people who believe it to pay to read their shit. Pointing out the gullibility and stupidity of FARS is not a 'smear campaign'. FARS are grown-ups; if they are idiots, too stupid to be in charge of a news agency, it's fine to point that out.

Why is American and Western controlled media so eager to write a story about Iran flubbing a story? Look at who is covering this. Everybody. Forbes. Washington Post. UPI. Why? They weren't so bold to report the mistakes made in the run up to the Iraq war. Also pretty telling Haaretz and JPost jumped on the bandwagon.

"Why is American and Western controlled media so eager to write a story about Iran flubbing a story?"

Because it's funny. They'd do the same if the BBC, France24, or any international media fell for a load of BS like that. Your desperation to defend FARS for idiocy looks pretty funny too. Though your last sentence looks ominous. Why is that 'pretty telling'?

Do you realize how much your one post has suddenly explained so many questions that I have been pondering? This Nazi space alien thing explains a shit ton.

Apparently his flaky appointees are still floating fatty turds hither and yon!



I thought Press TV trying to pass of a model airplane as the "New Persian Fighter Aircraft" was funny enough, but this takes the cake!
