I've Been Thinking:Syrian supporters of Assad are spreading a conspiracy theory that is so mind boggling that people might actually believe it.
They are saying that Sandy, the hurricane that devastated the United States causing billions upon billions in damages, was the result of a highly sophisticated Iranian weapon.
The group supporting Assad posted a message on their Facebook page saying that Sandy was the work of Iran and that the hurricane was punishment for those who attack Syria.
What makes this conspiracy so different from others is that Iran is placed front and center as the major actor causing the damage in this drama.
Obviously no such weapon exists. But people will believe it and it will weaken the hearts of the opposition. There are people who can actually be convinced into believing that Iran has the ability to alter the power of nature.
Unbelievable, but true.
