BARACK OBAMA IS THE NEW JOHN CARTER

Yr Obama-Is-Hiding-Something headline of the day:



According to Andrew Basiago and William Stillings – who claim that they once served as “chrononauts” for Darpa, and were part of a secret CIA project in the early 1980s to explore Mars by teleporting there – a young Obama (or “Barry Soetoro”, as he was known at the time) was part of their team.

Between 1981 and 1983, Obama is supposed to have visited Mars twice, by way of a teleportation chamber called a “jump room.” Basiago, a fellow chrononaut, told the website Exopolitics that he saw Obama “walk back to the jump room from across the Martian terrain.” To acknowledge his comrade, Obama is said to have told Basiago, “We’re here” — apparently, “with some sense of fatalism.”

JUMP ROOM!

But of course.

The fact that the White House has taken the time to deny that Obama went to Mars proves, of course, that he’s got something to hide. That’s how these things work, you see.

BACKGROUND: For those of you who don’t know who John Carter is, I’m here to help. Soon to be a major motion picture, you know.

Go ahead and jump,
