Glenn Beckwatch: Meet the Puppet Master

Posted by on Wed, Nov 10, 2010 at 1:25 PM

As I said last week, Glenn Beck announced on the day after the elections that he was going to unveil the puppet master behind the ongoing destruction of America. The secret is out: Beck is targeting George Soros. As Salon says, "Fox host paints the liberal Jewish philanthropist as an anti-Semitic anti-capitalist who is out to destroy America."

Then, in an interview with Rand Paul yesterday, Glenn Beck tried to get the new Senator to back his anti-Soros agenda:

GLENN: ...I believe we are facing the most dangerous two years of our republic's history. These next two years may decide whether we as a country live or die. Would you agree with that?

RAND PAUL: Yeah, I think that I keep telling people there's a day of reckoning and that it's not in the distant future, that it's now become an imminent problem...

GLENN: Here's what I am concerned about. There is, as I'm doing a show on Soros tonight, there is a global governance that is being constructed, and most of it is already in place. It's already there. And there are people pushing us over the edge because they want that global governance. They don't believe in really our sovereignty and our system of government. They are trying to cut us down to size, et cetera, et cetera. The rest of the world is looking at what we're doing to their economies now by quantitative easing. They see what's happening. The world is going to turn on us and blame us for all of their problems. And in some ways, especially the last two years, we'll deserve that. You are being faced now with a couple of things. One of them is the debt ceiling. And the Republicans I thought, you know, they stood lockstep. Nobody voted for the increase of the debt ceiling. I don't believe that we cannot raise the debt ceiling. I think we have to cut spending dramatically. But if we can't do both, we have to make some — we can't default on our loan because I'm afraid of an event like that, of any kind of real major event will set the dominoes, just push the first domino over and then it's just a collapse. Do you agree or disagree with that?

In an especially damning sign, Paul changes the subject and refuses to agree with Beck's one-world government theory. Glenn Beck is falling down the same rabbit hole that consumed 9/11 Truthers (Google "Amero" and you'll find an astounding mess of conspiracy theories.) Never mind that Rand Paul used to talk about the crazy North American One World Government idea; that was pre-Republican-machine-packaged Rand Paul. If Beck keeps banging at this crazy one-world government drum, he's going to wind up way out on the fringes.

So Beck is just now getting to the Protocols of the Elders of Zion? What took him so long?

Riiiight. Because only in the Bizarro World that Beck and his ilk live in could a Jewish Billionaire Capitolist be an "anti-semitic anti-Capitalist".

"Next up: The Sky is Green! "Blue sky" is a liberal-Communist scheme to make you see what isn't there! Mr. Beck will expose the TRUTH about this insidious plot, right after this message from our sponsor - Goldline International..."

Fuck. After all this nonsense we find out Beck is just a run of the mill LaRouchie.

Soros is the "big reveal?" C'mon, Beck, your showmanship is slipping. Everybody could've seen that one coming.

Big ol' cliffhanger and it turns out the butler did it. How disappointing.

Beck thinks the next two years are going to be more dangerous to our republic's history than, say... 1813-1814? Or more than 1861-62?

@4,

The butler, in the Fed, with 0 percent interest rates.

Has anyone at The Stranger covered The Daily Show producer who punched a Truther?

"Rand" Paul? I don't think so! Here's the truth behind his name. You heard it here first.
=====================
Ayn Rand, born "Alisa Rosenbaum"
--------------------------------------------------------
"Rand" Paul... a truly dizzy, disconnected non-senator, who ran an absurd campaign, promising impossible things ("Let's make 'Pi' = 3.00!" intoned "Rand" when asked how we can improve scholastic scores for math students.), determined to get what he wants regardless of his inanity, named after someone who used a fake name -- an alias, like a common criminal -- to conceal her true identity.

"Rand" Paul's namesake is Alisa Rosenbaum -- her REAL name, that is.

I'll bet if "Rand" Paul knew, he would be really P.O.'d since he and his dad are on the record as being rabidly anti-Semitic.

Your faith is touching if misplaced. Beck could very well drag this crap into the mainstream.

The real scary thing is not so much of the crazy shit Becks says, but that there are a shit load of numbnutz that will believe him, as though the words were spoken by God, Himself.

his attacks on Soros are so out of loopylhand that he is getting beyond his usual boneheaded marginally partisan place and into a whole new realm of probable litigation or at least some sort of mental health intervention... he's just a nutter. full stop. Not that his zombie followers wouldn't take that as some sort of sign.

Oh, jeez, did Back really go on talking for THAT LONG without a pause? I couldn't even read that whole meandering paragraph; that was like a Dennis Miller Rant™ all by itself.

Er, lemme see here.

Soros is an anti-Semite and convicted criminal.
What he did as a 14-year old helped shape his megalomaniacal thinking and world view.
Beck criticizes Soros for wanting to devalue our dollar and bring us into a crisis.
Ergo, Beck is an anti-Semite?

HELLO! LOL

This demonstrates the sad state of journalism and the media today.

As for the one world government, this is a stated goal and Soros admitted that this train has already left the station for ALL YOU deniers. He was even complaining that other countries have no vote in our Congress! (Obama already has turned to the UN to attack our own states and we pass legislation on behalf of the UN treaties so they can impose their law on us... world gov't is here and it's ruining our freedom)

(OVER MY DEAD BODY!)

Soros has openly stated his job was to bring down America, caplitalism, our sovereignty as a nation.

He is indeed public enemy #1 and Beck is right to say anything he wishes about it.
It's called free speech you know.
At least we have some truth in what he says since we can't count on the media, EVER!!!

To answer this question:

"Because only in the Bizarro World that Beck and his ilk live in could a Jewish Billionaire Capitolist be an "anti-semitic anti-Capitalist"."

Because Soros has said so. He said, if not for himself helping to steal from the Jews, it would have been someone else and he greatly enjoyed his time doing it.

The commenters before me sound like the most uneducated, unaware people I have ever seen. Sad really.. when the information is out there for the knowing and comes directly from convicted criminal Soros himself.

They are trying to cut us down to size, et cetera, et cetera.

Translation: Y'all are so hopped up on fear-propaganda that I don't even need to actually spell it out all the way any more. Insert your favorite doom-&-gloom scenario here. (Fools.)
