Rick Wiles, the far-right fundamentalist Christian radio host and peddler of conspiracy theories, claims he has figured out the administration insider who wrote the tell-all book about President Donald Trump, A Warning—and it's Barack Obama.
"I think there is a team of former intelligence agency employees that are running this thing," Wiles said, "and I think at the top of the food chain is Barack Hussein Obama."
"I am still convinced he is Anonymous. He's, he is—now think about that: Obama is Anonymous," he said in a video tweeted by Right Wing Watch.
It's unclear how Wiles made a connection between Obama, who lives with his wife in Chicago, and the "insider" who currently receives a steady paycheck from the White House but historically, the pastor has centered Obama in most of his conspiracy theories.
The book, written by an anonymous senior Trump official who still works in the White House, claims that Trump is unfit for office and dangerous.
"[Trump] stumbles, slurs, gets confused, is easily irritated, and has trouble synthesizing information, not occasionally but with regularity. Those who would claim otherwise are lying to themselves or to the country," wrote Anonymous.
This reveal from Wiles should come as no surprise to anyone who has listened to his radio program on TruNews or tuned into his "Godcast" where the clear enemy of the people and reason for most of America's ruin lies in the traitorous hands of our former president.
In August 2014, the evangelist warned listeners that Obama might intentionally spread Ebola using an ineffective vaccine, which "would lead to Americans being forced into FEMA camps."
Wiles said that Obama would claim executive powers to mandate that every human being in the United States get vaccinated, using the panic to "stampede hundreds of millions of people in this country." He then changed that to "billions of people worldwide" receiving the vaccine but nobody would know what was in it.
Wiles also stated on his program that Obama was personally orchestrating a Satanic sedition against President Trump.
"The chief community organizer directing the insurrection in the streets is none other than Barack Hussein Obama ... My gut feeling says Barack Obama is on the phone day and night and he is directing the protests, he is organizing, he is giving clear instructions to the people what to do and how to carry it out,' he said in 2017.
From the beginning of Obama's time in office, Wiles maintained that the Christian-identifying president was not only a Muslim but "the jihadist-in-chief" who was "waging jihad against the United States from inside the White House."
Wiles also claimed Obama killed Antonin Scalia of the United States Supreme Court as a "pagan sacrifice," making the Christian-identifying Obama both a pagan and a Muslim.
"Obama has poisoned the American society," Wiles said. "We didn't have this kind of racial hatred before Obama. I've never seen this kind of racial hatred in my life. Never."
"He poisoned our society and he did it deliberately to start a civil war. He's just a paid thug."
Wiles is a senior pastor at Flowing Streams Church in Vero Beach, Florida, but the only time he has mentioned prayer in regards to the former president was to pray that Obama be "arrested, tried in court, found guilty and sentenced to prison for his bloody crimes against humanity."
