Brief Overview of our Reptilian Overlords

Barack Obama has had an alien lizard implanted in the back of his head, with your tax dollars. You might think this sounds like some big pile of conspiracy tinfoil hat crap. Please read on and consider all the evidence before you jump to conclusions.

But that is just one person's opinion, you are saying! Even with the filters and closeups why should we take the word of random youtube poster? Well how about 100 random youtube posters - that's two magnitudes (i.e., 1000 times) of greater believability[1], and that means one thing: credibility and the power of science.
OBAMA LIZARD VIDEO EVIDENCE 2OBAMA LIZARD VIDEO EVIDENCE 3[2]
  / OBAMA LIZARD VIDEO EVIDENCE 4 ¦¦ OBAMA LIZARD VIDEO EVIDENCE 5OBAMA LIZARD VIDEO EVIDENCE 6.
I guarantee you there are at least 93 more videos available about "OBAMA LIZARD
 EVIDENCE"[3], if you are brave enough to experience the unvarnished truth!
He tries to hide it, but sometimes he slips up! In front of respected journalist Barbara Walters and important celebrity Whoopi Goldberg no less! "Whoopsie", Obama!

You might want to go against the actual video evidence[4] right in front of your eyes if the truth sounds too dangerous. Well then how about a detailed argument laid out in plain English?
Q: Why would the lizard people just focus on this one guy?

A: But see that's just it, they haven't! Here is the detailed evidence for the following celebrities and world leaders who are confirmed[5] positive reptilians:
And that's just the literal tip o' the old iceberg, as they say. If you think you are ready here is the full list of documented reptilians.

Maybe you need to hear it from a trusted authority figure? Well David Icke is a well-known BBC television sports presenter and spokesman for the Green Party - he can reveal the full truth for you and offer the solution for humanity's salvation. Maybe he's too "old school" and you need to hear it from a hip new online media organisation - Wired magazine claims "Lizard-People Are Running the World!". If that is not old school enough for you, it has been independently 100% objectively confirmed and verified in the Dead Sea Scrolls, which is pretty much the Bible.

There's much much more. When you start to scratch the surface you become aware that this is not just some fringe movement, you can't click a link on the Internet without tripping over the evidence.

We're bringing the newest technology and the highest level of scientific objectivity to this issue[6]. Surely if it could be disproven, we'd be even happier than the naysayers.
Every attempt has been made to scientifically objective, to maintain critical thinking and to debunk any and all sections of this video which may be hoaxed, misanalyzed, or technically glitched.

Zoom. Enchance. It's all there for you to make your own judgement.

A collection of pics off the internet that proof the existance of reptilians or "lizard" that are here

We all remember that moment of shared global terror and entertainment - the balloon boy saga that kept us riveted to our televisions. What you didn't know is that Ballon Boy father wanted to warn us about the Lizard Menace. What else is the media trying to keep hidden from us?

Why is it so obvious when we examine the video evidence[7], but in our day to day lives we don't notice the reptoids among us? HOLOGRAM EYE MASKING TECHNOLOGY REVEALED.

But it makes no sense! WHY do the Lizard People want to control our most beloved celebrities and politicians?

So what's stopping you from accepting the truth? Warning: Upon arriving at this website, you most likely have the strong, instinctual urge to automatically defend your current belief system and to reject all of this information. But, realize that attempting to use your belief system to filter out this information is, in fact, a nonsensical paradox, because it is your very belief system that is at issue here. Thus, instead of using a belief system to do your thinking for you, think for yourself via using your own brain (hopefully, you have one).

I wanted to avoid any hint of bias or editorializing in the main post, but just wanted to say that I am somewhat skeptical of the more hardcore and extreme claims made in some of the more fringe videos and websites presented here. I am sure we can all agree that a more moderate interpretation of the Reptilian world domination theory is likely closer to the truth.

"It comes from a very ancient democracy, you see..."

"You mean, it comes from a world of lizards?"

"No," said Ford, who by this time was a little more rational and coherent than he had been, having finally had the coffee forced down him, "nothing so simple. Nothing anything like to straightforward. On its world, the people are people. The leaders are lizards. The people hate the lizards and the lizards rule the people."

"Odd," said Arthur, "I thought you said it was a democracy."

"I did," said Ford. "It is."

"So," said Arthur, hoping he wasn't sounding ridiculously obtuse, "why don't the people get rid of the lizards?"

"It honestly doesn't occur to them," said Ford. "They've all got the vote, so they all pretty much assume that the government they've voted in more or less approximates to the government they want."

"You mean they actually vote for the lizards?"

"Oh yes," said Ford with a shrug, "of course."

"But," said Arthur, going for the big one again, "why?"

"Because if they didn't vote for a lizard," said Ford, "the wrong lizard might get in. Got any gin?"

I think it is pretty widely accepted that many genetic markers come from non-human entities. Many world leaders such as Akhenaten and even US president Abraham Lincoln show symptoms of genetic disorders which may in fact have originated in non-human entities. Akhenaten and Lincoln both show signs of an elongated cranium, hallmark of Marfan's syndrome. It is possible that Barrack Obama's genetic sequence contains stretches similar to Akhenaten and Loncoln as well as non-human entities and also displays a similarly elongated cranium.

When will Barrack Obama come clean about his non-human DNA.

Awesome. Someone worked the bible code into there.

I love how digital noise has not replaced, but augmented, the existing analog noise "evidence" (e.g., the backwards-masking folks) collected by fringe operators.

Does anyone care to critique their digital imagery "filters"? I'm picturing midnight video tweakers cranking dials on software all night until the object profiles form faces and other recognizable forms.

Where are the cranks that see face of Jesus and pals on the backs of the acceptable heads?

And, any fringe belief that doesn't have Santorum as a lizard person immediately loses all cred with me. Sorry, but that guy was born lizard.

Also, I feel obliged to point out that Charlie Brooker blew the lid off this one back in October.
I know this sounds crazy. But don't take my word for it. Last week I asked the online community if it had further proof of Cameron's true nature. I was immediately inundated with terrifying eyewitness accounts.

Twitter enthusiast @djamesc wrote: "I went to school with Cameron. He used to curl up next to the radiator during lunch. He only ate once a week."

Steve Hogarty said: "I once saw him behind a branch of Waitrose using both hands to squeeze a swollen pulsating neck gland (or 'sac') into a dustbin."

Pianist Stephen Frizzle "witnessed Cameron slice off his finger whilst preparing vegetables, and it just grew back. No word of a lie."

Rob Carmier from Brighton recalled that on the day the lift wasn't working at the G8 summit, Cameron "merely climbed the glass exterior with flattened palms".

Gareth James explained the recent hot weather was caused when Cameron "surrounded the UK with glass walls because he needs to live in a vivarium".

BTW, Kanye West and Jay-z are in fact members of the Iluminati. Why does Kanye wear shirts depicting a Bamphomet or Jahbulon. Why does Jay-z claim "there is one god of all men" a clear reference to Jahbulon and Rex Mundi. Why does Jay-z appear in clothing that says "do what thou wilt.The Iluminati is specifically referenced in the Jay-z sing D'evils.

Prodigy from Mobb Deep has been trying to draw attention to Jay-z,s connection to the Iluminati for years, he was imprisoned for this knowledge.

This is what has happened. Conspiracy theories about the Iluminati and the masons have been part of hip hop for a long time. Recently Jay-z has clearly been playing with these theories, putting Masonic symbols into his clothing lines. It is actually pretty funny. Sort of sad for guys like Prodigy from Mobb Deep who actually believes this stuff and does interviews outing illuminati agents in hip hop.

I'd disagree with that; it's a matter of degree. It's one thing to believe in, say, ghosts and angels. Quite another to believe a living person has been implanted by aliens. At least you can disprove implantation.

Or maybe that's what they want you to disprove...

When masons reach the 33rd degree they are told about Jahbulon, a goat headed god that is strikingly similar to Baphomet or Rex Mundi, which are "gods of heaven and earth", they are god and Satan rolled into one. Various hip hop artists supposedly worship Bamphomet.

Like I said, there are references to 33rd degree masons in hip hop going back 20+ years. Only recently have artists been trying to appropriate Masonic symbolism. It is pretty clear they are doing it consciously. Jay-z has a clothing line called "masters of the craft" a clear reference to Masonic legends and Kanye west wears an awfull lot a shirts with goat heads on them.

Listen guys, I have an idea.

There's a lot of people who read metafilter who have already infiltrated deeply into all levels of society. The only problem here is that we aren't coordinating enough. We all have ideals and principles, but the thing is, none of us are going to get anything done with just voting and arguing on the internet and so on.

What we need to do is agree on an agenda. And I propose that the agenda we agree on is this -- power. We should simply act in concert to take over the world, and then once we've accomplished that, we can use that power to enact whatever ideals we feel like. But the main thing is getting power first.

Feel free to memail me, and we can get this conspiracy started.

Really the best way to create a conspiracy is to invent an ancient historical conspiracy to which you yourself have been recently recruited. Then you create a pyramidal structure so that nobody knows how many people are in the organization or who recruited them, and so on. That way you can control the organization while being able to plausibly denying that control even to people you yourself recruited.

Probably the worst way to do it is to make a post on a messageboard announcing that you want to start a conspiracy. Though that kind of happened in the case of Anonymous and it seems to have worked out for them.

What we need to do is agree on an agenda. And I propose that the agenda we agree on is this -- power. We should simply act in concert to take over the world, and then once we've accomplished that, we can use that power to enact whatever ideals we feel like. But the main thing is getting power first.

This comment from the first link sums it up quite nicely:
"The sad part is that come November the only alternative to reelecting our lizard-president Obama will be voting for Santorum (who is a quarter chupacabra) or Romney (an old timey wooden marionette puppet imbued with life by a Chinese wizard)."

Also, I wonder what the movement demanding "proof" that Obama is not a lizard will be called. The lizarders? The reptilianites?

As I understood it, some of its proponents were/are anti-semites who essentially were using "reptilian" as a code for "jewish" or "controlled by the jews" so that they could promote their racist ideas more openly while those "in the know" would understand what they were "really talking about". It is not something that I have ever looked into much for some unfathomable reason but the whole topic has been something I have avoided having a laugh about for that reason.

About five years ago he got upset that I wasn't taking his beliefs seriously, and he hasn't spoken to me since. One of the links he had emailed me, the one I was pretty dismissive of, centered on lizard people. I really miss my friend, and I hope he snaps out of it.

"You will perceive, my brethren, from this concise statement of facts, that we have in truth secret enemies, not a few scattered through our country; how many and, except in three or four instances, in what places we know not; enemies whose professed design is to subvert and overturn our holy religion and our free and excellent government. And the pernicious fruits of their insidious and secret efforts, must be visible to every eye not obstinately closed or blinded by prejudice. Among these fruits may be reckoned our unhappy and threatening political divisions; the increasing abuse of our wise and faithful rulers; the virulent opposition to some of the laws of our country, and the measures of the Supreme Executive; the Pennsylvania insurrection; the industrious circulation of baneful and corrupting books, and the consequent wonderful spread of infidelity, impiety, and immorality; the arts made use of to revive ancient prejudices, and cherish party spirit, by concealing or disguising the truth, and propagating falsehoods; and lastly, the apparent systematic endeavours made to destroy, not only the influence and support, but the official existence of the Clergy."

A subset of peta people find honey an expression of animal abuse for Man's benefit and therefore evil. And given the type of sugar honey is, another set of human opinion finds it evil. And you can't give it to babies....so that's a kind of evil.
