The U.S. Government is Run by Space Aliens, According to an Iranian News Agency

Here’s your awesome international conspiracy of
the day: Iranian news agency Fars News is reporting that the
American government is run by cleverly disguised space
aliens. Via
The Washington Post:

On Sunday, the hard-line semi-official Fars News dropped one of
its biggest bombshells yet: The United States government has
been secretly
run by a “shadow government” of space aliens since 1945. Yes,
space aliens. The alien government is based out of Nevada and had
previously run Nazi Germany. It adds, for timeliness, that the
controversial NSA programs are actually a tool for the aliens to
hide their presence on Earth and their secret agenda for global
domination. This is all asserted as incontrovertible fact with no
caveats.

There are so many wonderful details here. As proof that aliens
were secretly behind the Nazis, the report explains that Germany
built hundreds of submarines toward the end of the war, far more
than would have been possible with mere human technology. It does
not explain why aliens with access to interstellar travel built
subs that were so grossly incapable against the British navy, or
why all-powerful extraterrestrials were unable to help the Nazis
resist an invasion by Allied forces that are mere cavemen relative
to their own technology. So far, these are pretty unimpressive
aliens.

In any case, after losing the war, the aliens apparently
installed themselves as the secret force behind the United States
government. President Obama is said to be a tool of the aliens,
though anti-alien factions within the U.S. government are fighting
to topple him.

The source of all this delightful fiction? According to Fars
News, they found out thanks to NSA whistleblower Edward
Snowden.
