Paranoia: Now It’s a Game
Posted By Rob Waters On October 20, 2009 @ 12:30 pm In Conspiracies | 8 Comments
Conspiracy theorists and aspiring domestic terrorists now have their very own online game. It’s called “Obama’s Coup Fails,” and it is the centerpiece of a new online site called United States of Earth. [1]
The year is 2011. President Obama has outlawed private gun ownership, dissolved the Constitution and set in motion a plan to join with Canada and Mexico in the “North American Union.”
Patriots to the barricades! Players in the game fight the Second American Revolution as militia commanders, training and amassing troops with the goal of capturing Obama and his evil allies.
Crooks and Liars, the liberal political blog, has posted this how-to-play video [2] on YouTube.
GamePolitics.com, a blog about the politics of computer and video games, provides a fairly level-headed assessment of the game here [3] (Scroll down to Oct. 16 posts).
Our capsule review: Pretty creepy.

In short, this game is like the video game version of the Turner Diaries

No, what’s creepy is the SPLC supporting the dissolution of our Constitutionally protected God given rights and freedoms.

Man, those arguements on GamePolitics.com get pretty heated.
Side-note: I sure hope this game gives some well-needed training for the upcoming Civil War/2nd Revolutionary War. I might as well join the National Guard (a legitimate militia) and protect democracy from illegitimate militias run by paranoia and, in SOME cases (happy, “stop playing the racism card/we’re not all racist” people?) various forms of bigotry. Then I’ll vote Republican, just to mess with your minds (for those of you that think that only Democrats would defend the President) even though I’m not a Republican or a Democrat.
… Or a Libirtarian, or a socialist, or a Green (grammar?), or a etc.

This is a “game” version of the Turner Diaries, and just as sinister.

It is good to see the mentally deranged have found employment. Maybe it will keep them away from the KKK cross burnings.

I agree with Bowman. So the SPLC wants to allow massive illegal immigration into the USA and attacks groups who protect the constitution then accuse people of “paranoia” who experience the harmful effects of these things?
LOL!!!!!!!!!! Wow, this group never ceases to amaze me. I get all of my information on this site. I read the hate watch lists and that is where I get tons of real information from rather than the crap posted on here.

I’ll take the bait Bowman. Which constitutional freedoms is Obama taking away?

It’s quite simple, Ruslan.
The facist/communist/marxist/islamist/socialist/racist Obama administration–in cooperation with the Zionists at the SPLC…
Is taking away the god-given freedom of carrying guns to events featuring democratically elected officials. They’re taking away the freedom to call the black president racist names and threaten his assassination. They’re also taking away the god-given freedom to misinform the public via propaganda radio and cable news.
You know, the freedoms that were guaranteed in sections 14 and 88 of the constitution!
(This is SO gonna fly over the heads of the “Patriot” speds here)
