Glenn Beck’s Departure
by Robert Ringer
Robert Ringer is a libertarian, a writer, 3 of my favorite books were written by him. Like Beck, he’s been on the bottom, totally broke, no family, then got his act together. He wrote Looking Out for Number 1, Winning Through Intimidation, and my favorite Restoring the American Dream, where he pointed out in the very early 70′s the type of thing Glenn Beck discusses today. Then it was all about taxation, and the government ripping us off, now it’s more serious. I take his words seriously, J.C.
Perhaps some have had reservations about the level of concern I
have expressed about what is happening in the criminally corrupt
and unconstitutional actions of those in control of our government
in Washington .
The attached article published by World Net Daily
provides an interesting analysis of speculation over the
outstanding job that Glenn Beck has done in documenting the
blatant headlong effort of the Obama administration to ignore and
trash the Constitution in the interest of his obsession to convert
this nation into a Marxist/Socialist society.
If you have not heard the Glenn Beck programs on Fox News you have
missed the most honest, factual documentation of the criminal
corruption of what is happening in Washington, and I would
encourage everyone to see as many of his programs as you possibly
can. This country has only about six months to assure the
complete reversal of Congressional control in this country. If
that does not happen, the freedoms that our country has enjoyed
for well over 250 years will be past history. Unfortunately we do
not have enough strong leaders in Congress who can and will stand
up and expose the sinister agenda that is in the process of being
implemented at this time.
As you read the summations of the author of this article he
speculates about four possibilities of what might happen to Glenn
Beck in the near future. Your attention is directed to the first
of his four options as to what might happen to Glenn Beck. His
thoughts there are exactly what I have been fearing for the last
six months. Glenn has exposed so much criminal corruption in the
Apollo Al liance and the Chicago Carbon Exchange (CCX) and the
level to which George Soros, Al Gore, the corrupt union leadership
such as the SIEU, and Barack Obama have been involved. What I
have been fearing is the same “strange, unfortunate accidents”
that happened to the acquaintances of Bill & Hillary Clinton
during the early days of their political career.
Don’t be naive enough to think it could not happen with this
bunch. I suggest you read this article carefully, then listen to
Glenn Beck’s program as often as you can. Our country is in the
most perilous time of its 250 year history. Our children and
grand children will not enjoy the freedoms, privileges and
prosperity that we have enjoyed if this November election does not
clean house with this Congress, and create the potential for the
impeachment of at least three of the current leaders in Washington
.
Glenn Beck’s Departure from Fox News – Part 1
By Robert Ringer:
On rare occasions, a unique figure bursts onto the national stage
and has a dramatic impact on politics, culture, or both. Glenn
Beck is one of those figures. He is surely the biggest, fastest,
most controversial star in the political commentary business in my
lifetime.
Beck is a real-life version of Howard Beale, the fictional
television commentator in the 1976 film classic Network. Beale
whipped his cultish TV audience into a frenzy, exhorting them to
stick their heads out the window and chant, ”I’m mad as hell, and
I’m not going to take this anymore!”
Much to the chagrin of the oligarchy in Washington , however,
Glenn Beck is not a fictional character. He’s real, and he has
succeeded in enlightening his audience far beyond Beale’s simple
rants about the unfairness of life. Beck is much more
knowledgeable, much more factual, much more rational, and much
more focused on the key issue: America ‘s loss of liberty.
I find it more than just a bit ironic that ultra-liberal CNN
Headline News gave Beck his first forum on television. There, he
created a huge stir with his ”rodeo-clown” antics and his
willingness to talk openly about his drug- and alcohol-addicted
past. But as he increasingly added his political views to the mix,
people started asking, ”Why isn’t this guy on Fox News?”
Of course, Roger Ailes was closely observing Beck all along, and,
in January 2009, he brought him to Fox and fit him into the 5:00
p.m. time slot. While Beck had been moving more and more toward
political commentary at CNN Headline News, from the moment he came
to Fox his transition to near-total politics was swift.
Combining his incredible talents with the work of his equally
incredible research staff, Beck became a household name seemingly
overnight. In truth, of course, he had been in media for thirty
years, but he had never before had a forum like Fox News.
Beck’s show is so good I’m convinced that if a person doesn’t
watch it on a regular basis, it’s almost impossible for him to
understand the true causes of the moral and economic collapse of
the United States – or even that it iscollapsing – because no one
else on TV covers most of the stories he dissects in impeccable
detail. His modus operandi has been to expose the bad guys through
their own words by playing audios and videos of them shooting off
their mouths and by quoting their writings.
For quite some time now, I have believed that Beck has become so
good at exposing the truth, so well respected, and so powerful
that the Forces of Darkness in the White House and Congress view
him as a major threat to their aspirations to eliminate the
Constitution, the rule of law, and individual sovereignty in the
United States. (In fact, they now refer to him as ”the Beck
problem.”)
But, as I have written in the past, the Obamafia is in a no-win
situation with Beck. If its leaders ignore him, he will continue
to disrobe Chairman Obama and his malevolent progressive pals
through their own spoken and written words.
On the other hand, as they have already discovered, the more they
try to discredit Beck, the more attention they draw to him – and
the more people will learn about the details of how they plan to
fundamentally transform America . Worse, their childish
mudslinging is no match for Beck’s sixty minutes of hard-core
truth five days a week (not to mention his three-hour daily radio
show).
So Beck keeps raising the ante, and there is no question in my
mind that the oligarchy in Washington sees him as a major obstacle
between where they are today and their ultimate goal: a firmly
entrenched, all-powerful federal government that controls every
aspect of people’s lives.
Listening to Beck this past year has convinced me that he senses
he has been chosen by a Higher Power to lead the charge against
the evildoers in government. If so, it’s not the first time God
has surprised the world with his choice of a messenger.
In laying down the gauntlet, Beck has pointed out that as a
recovering alcoholic, he’s already been at the bottom, so nothing
scares him. ”The worst thing that can happen in my life,” Beck
has said, ”is to lose my honor and to return to my Heavenly
Father without honor – without doing what I was supposed to do.”
When people talk like this, it represents a very big problem for
those in power.
Beck has made it clear that he is not afraid of losing everything
if that’s what it takes to convey the truth to as many people as
possible. And, as the far left knows all too well, a man who is
willing to lose everything can be a huge obstacle to its achieving
its socialist objectives.
The willingness to lose everything is, in fact, a key to being a
successful revolutionary, or, in Beck’s case, a
counter-revolutionary. How many people do you know who are
prepared to lose everything to fight for what they believe in? Not
long ago, Beck came right out and said, ”I’m going out
swinging.” That statement carried with it some very strong
implications. Clearly, something has to give.My best guess? I hope
I’m wrong, but I have long had the feeling that Glenn Beck will be
leaving Fox News other than through old-age retirement.
Glenn Beck’s Departure from Fox News – Part 2
By Robert Ringer:
How might his departure come about? The way I see it, there are
four possible avenues of exit.
As I watch him strip BHO and other members of Crime Inc. down to
their dirty underwear every day at 5:00 pm, I ponder what the
Obamaviks will do to try to stop him from destroying their
full-speed-ahead efforts to transform the U.S. into a collectivist
paradise.
I see four possibilities for Beck’s exit from Fox News:
Assassination. On more than one occasion, Beck has alluded to
cement boots and his ending up at the bottom of the East River .
He has also assured his audience that he has no inclination to
jump off a tall building, and if something like that were to ever
happen to him, it would not be accidental.
Even more ominous is that Beck continually tells his audience that
this isn’t about him, that each and every one of them must stand
up and carry on the fight. When he says this, it sparks memories
of Martin Luther King Jr.’s famous words at a rally in Memphis the
night before he was murdered:
”We’ve got some difficult days ahead. But it really doesn’t
matter with me now. Because I’ve been to the mountaintop .. and
I’ve looked over, and I’ve seen the promised land. I may not get
there with you, but I want you to know tonight that we as a people
will get to the promised land.”
Anyone who has read even a nominal amount of political history
knows that those on the far left unabashedly believe that their
morally superior objectives justify the use of violence. The
problem they have with Beck is that using violence to eliminate
him is dangerous, given that he has already warned the public to
be on the lookout for his sudden demise. Plus, a martyred Glenn
Beck could be as powerful for the liberty movement as a martyred
Barack Obama would be for the movement to turn America into a
socialist police state.
So, let’s assume – and hope – that no harm befalls Glenn Beck.
What else, then, might cause him to leave Fox News?
Roger Ailes retires or passes on. Roger Ailes has almost
single-handedly propped up the free press in this country, being
so good at his job that Fox News has been able to render its
left-wing media competition almost irrelevant. When Ailes, who
recently turned seventy, leaves Fox, there is no assurance that
Rupert Murdoch will pick a replacement with equally strong
conservative beliefs.
If Roger Ailes is replaced by a ”moderate,” the new president of
Fox News would undoubtedly either terminate Beck or place
restrictions on what he could and could not say. And if the latter
occurred, you can be sure Beck would depart Fox – with his honor
intact, as promised.
Rupert Murdoch passes on. Rupert Murdoch is still going strong,
but the reality is that he’s seventy-nine years old. And, as I’ve
written about in the past (Fox News’s Liberal Future), Murdoch’s
children and son-in-law are liberals who have long complained that
Fox News is too conservative. With Murdoch gone, there would
surely be a major shakeup, and both Roger Ailes and Glenn Beck -
perhaps along with a few others – would quickly be out the door.
It would be the end of Fox News as we have come to know it.
The Godfather option. Barack Obama knows that time is against him.
With liberal Democrats dropping like flies in primaries and
special elections, he can’t afford to wait too long for Roger
Ailes to retire or Rupert Murdoch to pass on.
Solution? Just send ”the boys” over to have a little chat with
Rupert Murdoch and make him ”an offer he can’t refuse.” In
keeping with Diversity Czar Mark Lloyd’s clearly stated objective
to force ”some people to step down to make room for others,” the
offer might be as straightforward as: (1) If you get rid of Glenn
Beck, Fox News can stay on the air; (2) if you choose to keep him,
Fox News will be shut down.
Kind of the Obamafia’s version of putting a bloody horse’s head in
someone’s bed to improve his perception of reality.
And let us not forget that Cass Sunstein – whom Beck refers to as
”the most dangerous man in America ” – says he wants to use
government power to stop ”conspiracy theories.” (Translation:
Repress the truth by using whatever means necessary to silence the
opposition.)
So where does Beck go if he departs Fox News? On at least one
occasion, he said that even if the bad guys succeed in forcing him
off radio and television, he will come back with a louder voice
and larger platform than ever. I found that to be a tantalizing
statement, one that caused me to speculate on what such a platform
might be.
Of course, the biggest platform of all would be president of the
United States . Beck says he would never run for president,
because he wouldn’t want to risk losing his soul. The implication
is that a person can’t run for president, and certainly can’t hold
the office of the presidency, and keep his honor intact.
I thought about this recently when Beck did an in-depth show on
one of his heroes, George Washington. He emphasized a number times
that what madeWashington unique was that he did not want to be
president. He accepted the office only out of a sense of duty, and
refused to stay in office longer than two terms.
I believe – and it is strictly a personal belief based only on
watching and listening to him – that Beck sees himself in much the
same way. I think he feels a sense of duty to do whatever he can
to help save America . He knows that George Washington did not
want to be president, yet he served out of a sense of duty. Even
more interesting, Beck has said that ”Americans are looking for
someone like George Washington.”
Clearly, he has a vivid sense that he has been put in his current
high-profile station in life for a purpose. Which means he may not
have a choice but to throw his hat into the political ring – if
not in 2012, perhaps in 2016.
Much like the Founding Fathers, I believe Beck has committed
himself to using his fame, his fortune, and his enormous talents
to help defeat the poisonous progressive movement that is
fundamentally transforming the United States into a destitute
socialist nation.
So, the $64 question is: Will Glenn Beck ultimately conclude that
he has no choice but to run for president?
And the $128 question is: Would enough Americans be willing to
open their minds to the truths he would expose to elect him
president?
If Beck did become president, I believe he would go down as one of
the greatest – and most unpopular – patriots in American history.
Unpopular because, like George Washington, he would not be willing
to trade his honor for popularity.
In any event, if the presidency is not in Beck’s future, it will
be interesting to see what his platform will be three to five
years down the road. Right now, at Fox News, he’s a ticking time
bomb for the progressive movement in this country.
