Now that we know that Atrios is a fellow named Duncan Black who works for the George Soros-funded Media Matters organization, we can apply some Michael Moore logic and uncover his motivation. Soros is a major investor in the Carlyle Group, which Moore has explained is a vehicle through which the Saudis control American politics and media. (According to Moore, President Bush flew Saudis out of the country after Sept. 11 as a favor to the Saudis, who had paid him $1.4 billion.) Soros has $100 million invested in Carlyle, so he’s clearly 100 times more a tool of the Saudis than the entire bin Laden family, who only had $1 million at their peak (they’ve since dis-invested.)
So here’s the way it works: the Saudis want to keep Iraqi oil off the market, to maintain high prices for their own crude, so they support an anti-war movement in the US through Soros’ funding of Moveon.org, Media Matters, Atrios, and Oliver Willis. They can’t get what they want from Bush, so they try and replace him with Kerry. Atrios wants to keep his Saudi connection hidden, so he blogs anonymously. Now that the Saudis have their boy Kerry in the race, he can safely unmask.
This is a completely insane theory, of course, as anyone on his right mind can see; but it’s no more insane than the crap that readers of Atrios and viewers of Michael Moore swallow every day.
Atrios is a Saudi agent – pass it on.
