This is a silly distraction conspiracy in a conspiracy-filled world.
The hard right took the bait on this one and lived up to sterotypes. Hook, line and sinker. Also the more gullible of tin hat crowd bought it just because we live in a cesspole of lies that is hard to tell what is true or not.
I still maintain this is a carefully constructed conspiracy to create a psychological effect rather than a lone nutball that hates Obama.
Psyops (psychological operations) and Cointelpro(counter intelligence programs)
Psychological Operations (PSYOP, PSYOPS) are techniques used by any set of groups to influence a target audience’s value systems, belief systems, emotions, motives, reasoning, and behavior. PSYOPS are used to induce confessions or reinforce attitudes and behaviors favorable to the originator’s objectives, and are sometimes combined with black operations or false flag tactics. Target audiences can be governments, organizations, groups, and individuals
COINTELPRO (an acronym for Counter Intelligence Program) was a series of covert, and often illegal, projects conducted by the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) aimed at investigating and disrupting dissident political organizations within the United States
It’s still not as stupid as the green shoots conspiracy..
