| Dr. Garrow is working on organizing an uprising against Obama that he calls “Operation American Spring.” Supposedly, 30 million people will show up. |
Conspiracy theorist
Jim Garrow is calling for an uprising against President Obama. He discussed his ideas in detail with
Pete Santilli on the January 3 episode of The Pete Santilli Show. Dr.
Garrow is calling the movement “Operation American Spring,” and he believes 30
million people are planning to show up. These people will go to Washington to
demand that Obama leave the White House, and to overthrow him with any means
possible if he doesn’t.
Dr. Garrow is sounding
the same cries other right-wing conspiracy theorists who are calling for overthrowing the government.
“Operation American Spring” is supposed to follow the example of the Arab
Spring uprising in Egypt. Dr. Garrow says “Operation American Spring” is
necessary because Obama is killing people.
Dr. Garrow is just another ultra-right-wing
conspiracy theorist, with little real credibility.
Dr. Garrow isn’t the
most credible person out there, though. Less than a week before, he claimed
that Obama was going after him. The accusation on his
Facebook page sounds like a badly written murder attempt in a cheesy mystery
novel. He was heading out to lunch with someone who allegedly wanted his help
in assassinating Obama, and this happened:
“I didn’t make it as the transmission and drives to the
wheels went wonky, making weird noises and just not working properly. I ended
up limping back home and changing cars. A quick look showed me that the lines
for the fluids had been severed just enough to get me driving with the hope of
someone that I would be ‘inconvenienced’ in some manner by the locking up of
the transmission or the drives to the wheels in some way.”
He “limped home,”
where he got into a different car and left again. The car in question is
supposedly being examined by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
He’s also claimed that
Obama’s litmus test for military commanders is whether they’ll fire on American citizens.
In an interview with known conspiracy theorist and truther, Gary Franchi, Dr.
Garrow said that he definitely had a source for this information, but would not
reveal who it was. The source is allegedly a U.S. military “legend.” This
source allegedly said that if they won’t shoot American citizens, Obama’s
removing them from their positions.
On the subject of
Obama’s birth certificate (yes, Dr. Garrow is a birther, too), he said, “We know there’s no record there at
Kapiolani Hospital.” He’s apparently the only person from the intelligence
community who’s spoken up. If he’s even from the U.S. intelligence community.
His more outlandish
claims include Obama striking a deal with Iran about nukes as a way to distract
from his own plans to nuke American cities. Dr. Garrow also said
that Obama would try to boost his approval rankings with the claim that scientists had communicated with
aliens. Not undocumented immigrants, but actual,
extraterrestrial beings.
Dr. Garrow thinks that just 3 percent of the
population can take control of the country, but for whom?
But the scariest thing
about Dr. Garrow is this claim, that he made when discussing “Operation
American Spring” on Santilli’s show: “All we need is three percent of the
population to rise up now and we can control the country.”
Really? Three percent
and “we” can control the country? Exactly who is “we?” And why should we, the
American population, listen to someone who doesn’t sound like he’s fighting for
American freedom, but rather someone who wants to be the despot king he seems
to believe Obama is?
Three percent is
roughly 9.4 million people. It’ll be surprising if even 100,000 people show up
to this “uprising.” These marches, protests and uprisings that these
ultra-right-wing conspiracy nuts claim will have huge numbers fall short every
time. Dr. Garrow’s cries for “Operation American Spring” might sound
optimistic, but we’ll find out on May 16 just how successful it is.
