Glenn Beck

[Maurice Bedard]

Is Glenn Beck truly for the people or the corporations?

As a citizen of the United States and a father to five children, I must ask these important questions. We all need to look beneath the surface of this guys TV and radio shows in order to verify the information that Mr. Beck regularly disseminates daily to millions of Americans.

This is a simple question that every person should ask themselves, regardless of who the person is. Trust but verify.

He does have a boss and that boss will get mad if he affects his profits, right? You better believe it. Please read on and we would love for you to join this discussion if you would like to include facts, thoughtful comments etc. Whether you are pro-Beck or Anti-Beck, we want to hear your intelligent comments.



Glenn Beck - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Glenn Lee Beck (born February 10, 1964) is an American talk radio and television host, conservative political commentator, author, and entrepreneur. He hosts the nationally syndicated Glenn Beck Program on Premiere Radio Networks, while also hosting the Glenn Beck Show every weekday on the Fox News Channel. He has become a popular and polarizing public figure, whose controversial views and comedic personality have afforded him widespread success along with considerable controversy.

We must all look beneath the surface and ask these simple questions,

"Who does Beck work for and do these people influence what he says?"

The questions above are not out of line or an area of life where we, the people should mind our own business. This actually should be the MOST IMPORTANT questions we ask ourselves before we ever watch his Fox News program, listen to his radio show or any other news source. I am not here to boycott him or persecute the man, it is just a simple verification of information by identifying his various affiliations and connecting the dots to find the truth.

After all it is TV and even Beck himself questions the reality of TV weekly. What makes him immune to this TV reality. Are we that gullible to not do what he does himself and directs his legions of fans to do daily on Fox News?

Glenn Beck: "Speak Without Fear & Question Boldly" [FOX News]

In this video he explains the White House affiliations and the issues that we the people would have with this. I agree with him. BUT, if we take that very same fact gathering tactic and use it in reverse on Beck, what we find is terribly troubling. This will be explained in further posts, links and videos below.

Please watch this video and all I ask is for you to do the same thing he does to Obama.

[YOUTUBE]HXTdfxYQkS4[/YOUTUBE]

Just like he does in going after the Obama Czars in looking at who people work for, what they say, their affiliations etc. you can determine EXACTLY who these people are and what they are about. This is not social rocket science. This is living on Main Street 101 that most of America has seem to forgot.

TRUST BUT VERIFY. "Is that too much to ask of ourselves?"

Now, let's take a look beneath the surface and see who he truly works for and where his heart is.

Is he for Main Street or Wall Street is what we should ask ourselves?


Who's his friend, who does he work for and who signs his checks?

[Maurice Bedard]

This powerful American friend of communists is, of course, Rupert Murdoch —



the man who signs Glenn Beck's paychecks.

Don't hold your breath waiting for a Beck exposé.

Links and Facts about Glen Beck:

The Communist Connection Glenn Beck Doesn't Want to Talk About "One powerful man Fox News' irresponsible nutcase demagogue won't paint red and yellow? His boss."

However, there is still one powerful American who has extensive connections with communists — not just some communists, but some of the most powerful communists in the world. According to an extensive report in the New York Times, this man has "flattered Communist Party leaders and done business with their children," met repeatedly with senior members of the communist Politburo, "cooperates closely" with communist censors and propaganda networks, and "cultivates political ties" with communists in the hope that they will "insulate his business ventures." Not only that, but he "often supports the policies" of communist leaders and "attacks their critics."

It gets worse. This powerful American has control of a large number of media holdings, and he attempted to curry favor with said communists by ordering one of his book publishing units to release a volume of communist propaganda glorifying Deng Xiaoping, the heir to Chairman Mao.
Another time, he killed a book deal with the last British governor of Hong Kong because of rumors that it would be critical of his communist business partners. When the story broke, the businessman denied it. Then Business Week uncovered internal memos that spoke of "corporate worries" that the book would threaten his business interests in China.

How can we trust each other, though, when the integrated economy of ranters and their delighted-to-be-outraged critics are such a model of profitability? A microphone, a camera and a polarizing host are all it takes to get the money moving. Because audiences have been so widely fragmented by the new technology, ratings that would have gotten a talk-show host canceled in the late 1980s create a superstar today. (In 1987 comedian David Brenner bombed in syndication with about 2.5 million viewers at midnight — which is roughly what Fox, the leading network for political talk shows, averages in prime time.)

Extreme talk, especially as practiced by a genuine talent like Beck, squeezes maximum profit from a relatively small, deeply invested audience, selling essentially the same product in multiple forms.

Rupert Murdoch Censors Glenn Beck - The China Chronicles

This is the infamous LOST EPISODE that Glen Beck had done on his own boss. Apparantly Murdoch pulled the plug on it.



GLEN BECK:

Now, it is not commonly known that the biggest media mogul in the world is a fellow named Rupert Murdoch. He runs more TV and newspaper businesses throughout the world than anyone, but still complains about the bias in the mainstream press. I mean, duh. Who does he think he is, the Pennysaver? He’s Australian by birth, but he went to live in socialist Europe, and later came to the United States. When he wanted to buy an American TV network, he got his socialist friends in the Congress to make him a U.S. citizen, which was a prerequisite for owning a network. After receiving that special treatment, he made sure to bash any other immigrants who aspired to live and work the greatest country in the world.

Then he began to build what is the most frightening corporate empire you can ever imagine. Now, the problem isn’t just that it’s big, because I happen to love big business and free enterprise. The problem is who he is in business with.

This Murdoch is very tightly entwined with one of America’s most vicious enemies. The People’s Republic of China. This association begins in his own family. His third wife, Wendi Deng, is a mainland Chinese who once worked for his Hong Kong-based satellite broadcast company, Star TV. Star TV was run by James Murdoch, Rupert’s son. Um, OK. James is the guy who complained that western reporters in China supported “destabilizing forces” that are “very, very dangerous for the Chinese government.” So let me get this straight. He was defending the communists against reporters from America? OK.

Under the supervision of Rupert and James, Star TV bent its programming to favor the brutal Chinese regime. In 1994 it dropped BBC News, which had frequently angered Chinese officials. One of the reports that angered the Chinese was of the brave soul who famously stood up to a flank of Chinese tanks in Tiananmen Square. The BBC replayed that video too much, so Murdoch had the network banished.

By cooperating with the communist censors in China, Murdoch earned the friendship of some very important people. The article in the Times noted that…

“His courtship has made him the Chinese leadership’s favorite foreign media baron. He has dined with former President Jiang Zemin in the Zhongnanhai leadership compound in Beijing and repeatedly met other members of the ruling Politburo in Beijing, New York and London. Television channels affiliated with Mr. Murdoch beam more programming into China than any other foreign media group.”

Uh oh. So this relationship was a boon to his financial interests. Do you think that the $50 billion ad market in China had anything to do with that? I don’t know, I’m just asking. But Murdoch was awfully cozy with these guys. His book publishing division, HarperCollins, was kind enough to put out a book of fawning propaganda about the former leader, Deng Xiaoping, that was written by his daughter, Deng Rong. He also halted publication of a book by former Hong Kong governor Chris Patten that was critical of the Chinese. Hmmm. Propaganda good - criticism bad.

Glenn Beck's Cash Machine

You might know Glenn Beck as the wild and wildly popular Fox News Channel talk show star.
But as Beck was growing into stardom at Headline News, he built a media [COLOR=#1d637d !important][COLOR=#1d637d !important]operation[/COLOR][/COLOR] that stretches from radio to the web to concert halls and convention centers.

Throw in the second piece of a $3 million book deal with Simon and Schuster, and the voice of the conservative opposition is on track to have an $18 million year.

Personally.........I think Glenn Beck is a SCHMUCK!!!!!!!!!

[Maurice Bedard]

Mao and Rockefeller: Beck Fails to Call Out the Real Monsters

Mao and Rockefeller: Beck Fails to Call Out the Real Monsters

“Communism or more accurately, socialism, is not a movement of the downtrodden masses, but of the economic elite,” wrote the late Gary Allen. “If one understands that socialism is not a share-the-wealth program, but is in reality a method to consolidate and control the wealth, then the seeming paradox of super-rich men promoting socialism becomes no paradox at all. Instead, it becomes logical, even the perfect tool of power-seeking megalomaniacs.”

Behind the flaccid rhetoric of Glenn Beck with his blackboard of academics and low-level Obama bureaucrats stands the power-seeking megalomaniacs who own lock, stock, and barrel the government and the corporate Mockingbird media.

The elite use media to divert serious discussion and activism into a dead end circus side show of Republican vs. Democrat, progressive vs. neocon, ad nauseam.

Beck’s show is instructional for members of the 9-12 movement, specifically designed to foster hatred of Democrats and “socialists” who in fact work for the same bankers Beck does. Most people following Beck’s 9-12 have their hearts in the right place. It’s too bad they are following the Pied Piper of the global elite.

ACORN and Anita Dunn, while despicable, are warts on the backside of a Tyrannosaurus rex.

It’s Beck’s job to keep us focused on the small stuff while the beast continues its quest to enslave the entire world and turn it into a prison planet based on the very slave plantation Beck criticizes.

[Garry]

Beck exposed himself to me in one of his first shows on Fox, I wish could find it and post a link. He's nothing more than a piece of sh*t to me and is on the right channel. I actually sent him an e-mail and let him know what I thought of him. Just to clarify, it didn't have anything to do with his view on the President, it was his real view on people. He's just another Hannity in a new form trying to capture a new audience and sway them in a Fox direction.

[Slim Shavings]

AFter reading this thread i'm only going to make this one comment. You people are so far off bas on this its not worth arguing about. Time will be what proves what is true.
I've followed RUsh,SHawn,Beck since their inception. SO let me say right here NO ONE is perfect. But that is not the test. Beck is perfectly clear about where he stands and if he makes mistakes he corrects them ON AIR just as he did twice today.

Its a simple matter that NO ONE spends the time to discredit people of no account. You let them die a natural death. And no one has spent MORE TIME than the left trying to discredit these guys along with Sarah Palin I see today that they have even published a book almost identical title as Sarah Palins in order to discredit her.

ANd if you were really going to be fair you would post forums on Olberman ,Maddow, and the rest of the MSNBC losers that can''t attract any audience. because they have shown them selves to be what they are.

One of the problems I find with any political forum is people rag on everybody left or right because no one is good enough becasue they aren't perfect. Funny thing is its easy to criticize but a lot harder to stick your own ass on the line.

Finally. If I don't have sources from more than the left or right
"groupies" and it doesn't pass the " gut check" Its just so much BS.

[wonthefight]

Left wing or Right wing come on we all know that each party has their own agenda..Glen Beck is a millionaire who does not understand the fight that middle america truly has to endure during this economic tsumai.

[Maurice Bedard]

Slim,

FYI - These are articles and I just reposted them.

Slim I do have forums on CNBC and am working on some threads. Why don't you please provide some dirt and info on Maddow and Olberman. You KNOW I will never censor it. So, please go at right to it.

I have no allegiance to a darn TV or network, let alone some dude crying or yelling on TV. Whether that be Olberman, Beck or Dobbs, they are all corporate paid puppets that are censored and push their networks agenda.

Do you not like me because I posted this?

Who does Beck work for?

Do you think Beck can just say what he wants and no one censors him?

He talks about communism and Obama, yet his boss is breaking bread with communists. Makes no sense at all to me. Please, besides saying your feelings, debate these facts with your facts.

Also, what is he doing to address the crisis on main street?

Thanks in advance!

[Slim Shavings]

Moe

First of all i rarely do personal attacks and this was not one!

I grew up with the people that are running this country.. I know how they operate. I know who they are. I 'm in the condition I'm in because I have fought them since coming home from Nam.

I'm tired of hearing people bash Capitalism. Especially since we haven't been capitalist since Reagan. I know what capitalism was. And its never been perfect or even close. But its way better than whats in second place.

What other news media is doing ANYTHING to out what is going on.
You say they work for someone. I've been self employed all my life. I still work for someone. Its a foolish argument. If Murdoch is strictly after money and Fox is getting the ratings. He is going to let Beck say anything he wants..

As for dirt on Maddow, Olberman and the like. Why would I take the time or waste it on something that is inconsequential. They are just noise and their ratings show it.

There are a lot of stupid people but its hard to believe when you have 20 million listening to you they are ALL stupid. far easier to believe that there are 3-400,000 that listen to Olberman and the like that are. Just the odds tells you that.

Total BS!!


Read some history. The founding fathers were in favor of eliminating slavery but didn't because of the tenuous state of the new country. As I keep saying liberals want perfect . IT DOESN"T EXIST What is that old saying. "You can't always have what you want"

IF you read H K Edgerton (a black) he states that the slaves were better off here than any where else in the world. And most white people lived in the same conditions as the slaves did. At the time of the civil war slavery was on the way out because of Capitalism. It was just getting too expensive to keep them. And lets not forget that it was BLACKS that sold other blacks

THe rest is the same ole out of context and BS as usual.

This guy is known for twisting the truth. A psycho talking psycho talk Pretty amazing. But his ratings show that. And of course the fact that he has absolutely no respect for the founding fathers.

I've shown my colors and not afraid to defend them. Why can't you admit that your a socialist.

GREAT videos Garry..........Like I said in an earlier post....Glenn Beck is a SCHMUCK!!!!

[Maurice Bedard]

Slim,

First off, I'd like to take the time to say how much I have enjoyed your contributions and presence in our community. It is OBVIOUS that you are a good person that is welcomed with WIDE OPEN arms here. I respect every word that you type and respect your views 110%.

With that said Slim, I tend to think that you respect me as well. Even though we don't see eye to eye on everything and I am bit younger than you.

I am not here to attack Beck or Fox or anyone for that matter. I am here to question authority, media and life. Research these questions I have and then post the information I find on the internet for my fellow Main Street citizens. They can agree or disagree with me and I'll still love them the same. I hope they do me also, but I know that isn't reality because we are raised to despise those with different views.
Do you think I am anti capitalism because I posted these facts about Glen Beck, his boss and Fox News?

Do you think I am a socialist?

Slim, I am a freeman who free thinks and does not get a paycheck from some billionaire who tells me what I can and cannot do. Beck is not a freeman, he is Murdoch's man sir.

He is a soldier for the Fox flag and the Murdoch empire. A soldier for the corporations. HE IS NOT A SOLDIER FOR MAIN STREET!

Slim, what would happen to a soldier in war that decided to just fight his own fight and do his own thing on the battlefield? Would the General allow this soldier to run amok or would he squash this independent behavior for the good of the troops?

If there is any question in this post that I beg you to answer from the bottom of your heart, it would be this one.

[Maurice Bedard]

I guess Slim is not going to answer me. Maybe I'll let some disturbing quotes by some very powerful people speak for themselves. Please look them up and read more quotes from some very smart people and facts about our media. You know facts other than what Beck says.

Then simply ask yourself, "Does Beck really say what he wants or is he secretly controlled by men much more powerful than him with secret agenda to push on the American people?"

If no one can do this before defending their TV saints, then only the Lord can help you and this debate is a futile discussion based on football type mentality of my team against your team. Fox vs CNBC , left vs right and it goes on and on while I just yawn.

Life is too short to engage is such mind numbing rhetoric used to confuse the masses who serve the corporate elite. Man, those guys are good Slim.

The man who never looks into a newspaper is better informed than he who reads them; inasmuch as he who knows nothing is nearer to the truth than he whose mind is filled with falsehoods and errors. It is a melancholy truth that a suppression of the press could not more completely deprive the nation of its benefits than is done by its abandoned prostitution to falsehood. – Thomas Jefferson

Give me control of the German media, and I can control the German people. – Joseph Goebbels, Hitler's propaganda minister

In March, 1915, the J. P. Morgan interests, the steel, shipbuilding, and powder interest, and their subsidiary organizations, got together 12 men high up in the newspaper world and employed them to select the most influential newspapers in the United States and sufficient number of them to control generally the policy of the daily press ... They found it was necessary to purchase the control of only 25 of the greatest papers. An agreement was reached; the policy of the papers was bought, to be paid for by the month; an 30 editor was furnished for each paper to properly supervise and edit information regarding the questions of preparedness, militarism, financial policies, and other things of national and international nature considered vital to the interests of the purchasers. – U.S. Congressman Oscar Callaway, 1917

We are grateful to The Washington Post, The New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subject to the bright lights of publicity during those years. But, the world is now more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto-determination practiced in past centuries. – David Rockefeller, founder of, and in an address before, the Trilateral Commission, in June of 1991

Our job is to give people not what they want, but what we decide they ought to have. – Richard Salant, former President of CBS News

The business of the journalist is to destroy the truth; to lie outright; to pervert; to vilify; to fawn at the feet of Mammon, and to sell his country and his race for his daily bread. You know it and I know it, so what folly is this toasting an independent press? We are the tools and vassals of rich men behind the scenes...

They pull the strings... AND WE DANCE. – John Swinton, former chief-of-staff
for the New York Times, in an address to fellow journalists.

When you control opinion, as corporate America controls opinion in the United States by owning the media, you can make the [many] believe almost anything you want, and you can guide them. – Gore Vidal from The Golden Age

The great mass of people ... will more easily fall victim to a big lie than to a small one. What luck for rulers that men do not think. – Adolf Hitler

[Slim Shavings]

Moe
I respect what you do here. And as person I know nothing about you other than what I read. But IN my opinion you are one of the conspiratorial. (sp) type.
Funny thing it was on thing that I watch very carefully about Beck

Beck is not a soldier for FOX. No more than I'm a soldier for who I work for or you work for independently

you won't accept my answer.

Taking murdoch purely as a money grubbing creep (if you want) and a-political. As long as Beck is making lots of money and not violating the FCC he will be free to say anything he wants.

its the same as when i was building houses. I hired people to frame for me. I didn't care about their politics or how they worked as long as it was right!!. I wanted to make money. I didn't dictate the house the customer did so I had o agenda other than making money.
FOX is doing exactly what news organizations are suppose to do. Put it out there. Its up to each person to decide. If we don't agree we turn it off and they go away eventually. Thats a capitalist system. But in this case millions do agree. Nobody has a gun to their head. They take personal responsibility for their own actions. Something that needs to be taught here to all of us who got in trouble with our loans. We trusted to many people and now we are learning. You may not like that but its the truth. Yes the banks are bad and yes things happen that are not in our control and it really really ****s. But we still have to take responsibility for a lot of what happens.
it would have been nice if we would have been properly educated in government and finance while we were in school. Not much else to be said about that.

And last I find that conspiracy types just are near impossible to respond to. And in all honesty most have an axe to grind somewhere else. Just my opinion straight up. It seems a little harsh but Trying to explain things like I would like in a post is near impossible

Just an after thought here. but it just may be that people really do not understand the concept of personal responsibility and how far it goes. I can say it wasn't easy for me and took a long time. Now I have no problem and I have no problem saying I am wrong if I am wrong. Doesn't mean I won't
game the system if I can keep my house. I'm still human

[Maurice Bedard]

Slim,

There you go with your "labels" AGAIN Slim. Can I ask you to respect me and not do that? It is like me calling you one of those "sheep" type people that just let TV's, generals and corrupt politicians do their thinking for them.

What you said is that people like me are impossible to get along with or debate with. How can you say this when I have been the exact opposite and provide you with intelligent debate and facts? I am asking you questions nicely. Respecting you 110%. Placing links, articles, videos etc to show that this isn't just how I feel, but just information that I found and I feel others should know about this info. I am offering you a healthy debate and you just cannot provide me with anything but feelings and beliefs.

I think the impossibilities are your own sir.

It is obvious I offended you by posting this Glen Beck info here because you are one of his "followers", "believers" or "fans". I am OK with that, but please do not place your labels on me because I differ from your self imposed labels.

Can we get past that and discuss these Murdoch ties, the videos like OutFoxed with several, several ex Fox employees who tell the truth? Can you debate these facts and please come at me with information, links and articles instead of your beliefs about how the world and media works?

[Maurice Bedard]

Slim,

Did you read those quotes from very smart and powerful people about media above? And you still say Beck says what he wants all day? Lord help us.....

[Slim Shavings]

Moe

i'm not discussing you I'm discussing what you believe. Did not Obama say he was going to be the most transparent and open presidency of all time. Is he. Does he just want the opposite opinion to discuss or to make an enemies list.
you have definitely not offended me with talking about Beck. I'm very secure In what I know although I find debating on a forum hard and I do not just recite facts. I know these people you quote and I know about them and if someone want ed to pay me I would bury you with facts. But i have this house I 'm trying to figure out how to get taken care of one way or another. And I do have to keep looking for work.

Once again listen to me very closely
It is a persons personal responsibility to do what they want with Beck or anybody!!! You check his facts you make your decision. NO guns to your head. If he is evil he will go away or be proven wrong. As I said in my very first post before I let myself get caught up in this is "Time reveals All. And its definitely revealing that he is telling the truth about Obama. Just look how many left winger papers and people are turning in the last few
days.

TEll me why SO MANY on the let are spending SO much time to discredit him,Limbaugh,Palin, The Chamber of Commerce and the rest. Its a CLASSIC case of diversion. Why are we going from crisis to crisis?? If you want conspiracy you should be doing time fact checkin what is going on in the Whitehouse.

By the way I belong to the "tree of liberty" forum" And conspiracy theories abound over there and TB2 (Time bomb 2000) and they are both Right wing sites. some of them don't like Beck either

[Slim Shavings]

By the way , Glen now has a phone,a Fax, And a guy setting beside both and still no call from the Whitehouse to counter the facts and tell him how wrong he is.

[Maurice Bedard]

No hard feelings Slim. I like you brother and truly wish you well. Debating about this is not needed or fruitful for the grand scheme of things. I do respect you and your beliefs.

I can be a big a$$ sometimes and my meaning well sometimes comes across as being a know it all or conspiracy theorists.You know what is funny Slim, when I started blogging about loan modifications in 2007, people thought I was a nut and had no idea what I was talking about. I was literally the only person in the WHOLE WORLD that was talking about them and how they would help solve the crisis.

You know what they called me, yup, conspiracy theorist!!

Go figure......

[nodackto]

Hey guy's I think that you need to know that Glenn Beck started out on CNN. And then he moved to FOX. Don' really care for fox But I like to think that the james bond film about the media guy and wanting to get business in china was about murdoch, I laugh about that all the timeand If you want to quote people and conspiracy:

I WAS NEVER NOTHING MORE THAN A ENFORCER FOR THE WALL STREET BOYS. SMEDELY BUTLER USMC

I didn't quite get that right but if you read his book you will see that he talks about one of the greatest conspiracy's ever. By the way he was a general and a 3 time winner of the MOH

[lennox]

I think Glen Beck is very entertaining. He seems like he'd be a lot of fun at a party. I don't take him too seriously. I like talk radio, even though I don't agree with a lot of it.

Glen's getting a little too negative on the economy for me. He seems to think buying gold is the answer. I think he's a little extreme with the gold thing.

But....I do think from a political standpoint....the best way to get the Treasury to fix this HAMP mess is to get talk radio all over the story. They would have a field day with Treasury "bragging" that they've met their 500,000 mods by November, even though only 2000 of them are finalized.

If Treasury has talk radio, Fox News, et al.....blasting the inefficiencies of the program...maybe it would light a fire under them and make the servicers a bit more well intentioned when working to help their customers with a mod. IMHO

Moe,

Well done! Be suspicious of all politicians and media outlets. In my opinion, it is all just a diversion from the major issues. I watch a lot of Fox and was actually a subscriber to Rush 24/7. I am a conservative christian, and Rush's anti-abortion stance was right up my street. However, I'm not like a sheep. After listening to Rush (and Glenn Beck) for over a year, I came to understand their bias. Rush will not hold the banks accountable for this mess at all. As one author put it "how could poor people (sub-prime) have caused such a financial mess and evaporated trillions of dollars in national wealth. I'm simply not buying it.

You are absolutely correct, each outlet have their own agenda. How can anyone not be concerned with Murdoch's communist ties?

BTW: I don't trust Rachel or Keith on MSNBC.

Slim,

If you think either political party or any major media is working to really inform the common man, you are deluded.

Regards,

CPWP

[cbuck]

I tend to be more conservative in my views. Im what you would call a Christian Conservative. I dont like Hannity or Rush. I agree with some of there points but I think they are a mouthpiece for the republicans. I cant stand to listen or watch them. On occasion I will though. I think Beck is a different animal. I havent listened to him long enough to tell if he is a phony or not. I dont think he is. Moe I think when we start looking at who owns the company and who pays the paycheck doesnt mean the person is corrucpt per say. I dont believe Beck is. Beck shows how certain politicians surround themselves with individuals of a belief system. I think he does a good job for the people. My opinion ofcourse.

Huh? I was talking to Garry. Following you and your posts? Whaaaat and whatever for? You're losing it, coach ca ca buck.

[laldana]

Garry-- we can't talk anymore. Sorry. Coach's orders! But I'll say one last thing to you, brother-- I was an avid guitar player in my youth. Sounded like Donald Duck when I sang, unfortunately...

Tin foil!

CBuck,

Glenn Beck has a boss and a producer who calls the shots for Beck. Beck does not call the shots on the show. There is an agenda there, it is the Fox agenda and his job is to push it to people like you who think it is 100% legit. I am not saying he is a phony, just partly phony and just enough to fool many.

I think it is 95% legit, but 100% driven by an agenda that is pushed on the people by people like Glenn Beck. If he goes against that agenda of the people who sign his paychecks, he is fired. He would then be known as a black sheep or news pariah and he would be black balled from TV. He doesn't.

He is very good at it and cries well too. Hence, he is paid much more and appeals to many.

Saw a *****, I liked a quote by the priest. Even though I'm not religious and didn't particularly love the *****, he hit the nail on the head when questioned about capitalism..he said (roughly) that the system has built into it Propaganda, which he found intriguing..
The ability to convince the very people who are victimized by the system that it is good and they should support it.
Even the priest thinks we need to stop drinking the kool aid.

If we've learned nothing else going through this whole mortgage ordeal Trust and Verify are good words to live by. Although in the future I think I'll be Verifying before I Trust. Call me skeptical.
I know if my Father were alive today he would be mortified to think this is what it has come down to in this country he was so proud to serve.
