Seymour Hersh, a writer for the New Yorker, spoke last week at Georgetown’s School of Foreign Service in Qatar on the differences in foreign policy between the Bush and Obama administrations.

“I don’t know how to describe Obama, as somebody who’s now in office for two years,” Hersh said. “Just when we needed an angry black man, we didn’t get one.”

After describing the Bush-Cheney years as a time when “eight or nine neoconservative whackos, if you will, overthrew the American government,” he continued to criticize the various abuses perpetrated by the U.S. during the War on Terror.

Hersh then went on to accuse several high-ranking members of the armed forces of being Crusaders.

Hersh said that General Stanley McChrystal and Admiral Bill McRaven are members or supporters of the Knights of Malta, as well as Opus Dei.

They “see what they are doing … [as] a crusade, literally. They see themselves as protectors of the Christians,” Hersh claimed.

Hersh accused Obama of turning over the war efforts to those who were perpetrating it and criticized further actions in Afghanistan.

Who knew that Georgetown’s administrators, professors, and graduates had so much power and influence?

Vox has been following VaticanAssassins.Org, a Jesuit conspiracy theory website, with great amusement for a while now. The website’s editor, Eric John Phelps, is a noted “black pope” conspiracy theorist who holds that a cabal of diabolical American Jesuits control U.S. foreign policy at the direction of Jesuits in Rome—including Jesuits at Georgetown.

So to finish out the year, here are the site’s Top 10 Conspiracy Theories about Georgetown from 2009.

(10) The Georgetown Jesuit Edmund A. Walsh established Columbus Day in 1934, and the Knights of Columbus, Freemasons, and Skull and Bonesmen then began to control the United States.

(9)  The Council of Foreign Relations is ruled by Jesuit influence and Georgetown University affiliations.

(8)  President John DeGioia and Professor John Gannon create Department of Homeland (“Romeland”) Security

(7)  “911 Demolition” carried out by Georgetown University Professor George Tenet and the CIA on the Archbishop of New York’s orders.

(6)  Georgetown Jesuit research fellow Thomas Reese promotes the Pope’s “alien, Roman Catholic, Latino/Mexican invasion.”
