Glenn Beck: Prophet Of Doom

Before reading this become familiar with how imagery can be used.


Take aways:

"Progressives want to control every aspect of your life"

On an old TV "Social Justice" (hypnotic effect of 'the old days')

Notice the emphasis on 'year of my Lord Crist' for which there is no normal conversational usage...what was the purpose of that strange emphasis?

I am not a journalist I am a conservative and I'm much more of a Libertarian

Notice the explanation that Jon Stewart gives about 8 mins into the video....accepting an idea to such a point that you take on everything about that theory and live through it rather than experience life for yourself (OK, not an exact quote)....in any case, the pain from letting go of a whole ideology that you may have been clinging to for emotional support is what might have been meant by "Dissapointment is like bankruptcy. Bankruptcy of a soul that expends too much in hope and expectation"(probably not an exact quote either) by Eric Hoffer... then Jon Stewart demonstrates how you can take pieces of nothing and using your sculpters knife(of logic gone awry) create sense out of nonsense...and scare the crap out of people. That's why you gotta learn to think for yourself (and learn continuously, don't read a couple of books and think you've figured out all of existence).


Progressivisism is the disease (i.e. by saying something is the source of all problems you demonize it...do you understand the implications of this?)

Then Beck said a bunch of confusing shit

Then around 3 mins into the video you discover that Glenn Beck doesn't know what a public good is! (see 5th link under Econ 101 titled What are public goods?)

Striving to keep the fear alive...


About 2 mins into the show...could there be an underground war between comedians going on?


Take aways:

To imply that honor needs to be restored means honor has been lost

A child will grow up to be "George Washington"...implying that things are so bad that americans needs a revolution on par that they had with England for its Independance (i.e. violent?)

About 2 mins into the video..."first of all no, second of all yes"...remembering the introduction...could the great Glen Beck be trying to step into the shoes of Martin Luther King?...and Gandhi?...and Jesus?

The truth must be told... 2+2 = 4

Glenn provides a '100 year plan for America'...with action steps!

Is god speaking through Glenn Beck?
