Beck: Progressive ‘Mission Accomplished,’ Now on to Phase II — Communism

If one wanted to destroy America, all one would need to do is break the country into parts and chisel away at each segment, bit by bit. Tuesday‘s episode of The Glenn Beck Program laid out America’s core components and described how each one is being undermined and thus, destroyed. But who is doing the destroying?
Glenn contends that those seeking to dismantle the American way are “no longer progressives.” Instead, the left has successfully morphed into what it had always intended to be: Full-fledged Communists.
“Progressives can say mission accomplished. Now it’s phase two.”
Invoking Stuart Chase’s “The Road We Are Traveling” and the recent Obama propaganda piece by essentially the same name, Glenn informed viewers that progressives’ “road” has come to an end, and thus, it is now time to “start studying Communism.”
And while this machine is “way beyond Barack Obama,” he is, in effect, its prime mover. Recall during his 2008 presidential campaign, Obama said he wanted to “fundamentally transform” the country, and indeed, the entire world.
In the words of Maya Angelou: ”The first time someone shows you who they are, believe them.”
But, Glenn ceded, “Obama is not the first radical.”
“Woodrow Wilson and FDR did it too.”
He also reminded that when Obama vowed to fundamentally change the nation and the world it was brushed off as merely “campaign rhetoric,” but with progressives, “their words have meaning.”
So the president wanted to change the entire structure of the country. In order to do that, Glenn cautioned, one “needs to dismantle the current structure.”
And assume full control.
He added that “we need to change the way we’re thinking because the battle has changed.”
A fundamental change:
“They built their machine,” said Glenn. Progressives have now turned that machine on and we must pay attention to Communists.
He instructed viewers to learn as much as they can about Communism — how it works, what its core tenets are, who its radical architects and advocates are, as well as to familiarize themselves with the system’s heroes and villains.
Phase II:
Below is Glenn’s comprehensive look at each compromised component of the country:
Beginning with America’s backbone — the military — Glenn looked at the disheartening state of affairs taking place after 10 years of war. With a growing presence of radicals placing our troops in harms way and an increasing number of lawmakers seeking to decrease funding to an already equipment-strapped military, Glenn observed that morale among military personnel is diminishing.
He also posited that the U.S. military will likely merge with the Department of Justice.
As leftist policies often favor placing less emphasis on U.S. military prowess — and given the left’s penchant for criminal, rather than military prosecution of known terrorists — the idea of such a merger seems plausible indeed.
Education as indoctrination:
For some time now, children have been encouraged by educators to challenge their parents views and instructions, especially those that differ from school curriculum or the general mindset and practice of faculty members. With sexual orientation being taught to fifth graders and sterilization for girls in college, America’s education system may be the last place one would want to shape a young, impressionable mind. Even just recently, it was revealed that a Chicago public high school is holding courses (many during regular school hours, no less) on the following mind-blowing topics: Occupy Wall Street, “gender fluidity,” social justice, “Harvesting the Dream” DREAM Act voter registration, nonviolent protest and more…
Banking and finance:
Citing Dodd-Frank, Glenn noted that by providing bail-outs, the government has “co-opted the banks.” In terms of America’s banking sector, he explained that an over-abundance of regulation, corruption, and a devalued currency combined is a recipe for trouble. Essentially, government is using intimidation as a means to control the country’s financial institutions.
The recent suspension by J.P. Morgan of the Vatican bank account over an alleged money laundering scheme is a good clue, according to Glenn, that the banks have indeed been co-opted.
And when banking and finance sectors are affected…
So goes industry:
Exacerbating an already inflamed situation, industry, according to Glenn, is succumbing to the powers that dictate which companies will and will not receive financing. General Motors, General Electric and organized labor unions are examples of those who receive what many view as favorable treatment in this arena. Meanwhile, small business is put out of business as organized labor unions excel.
Even food isn’t safe:
Glenn reminded viewers that agriculture is under fire as the left is intentionally trying to destroy small farms by allowing government to control food. It does so by restricting farmers from selling their produce without FDA approval.
And in a Nanny State push that goes beyond the pale — they’re even banning homemade meals for the homeless at soup kitchens.
The power of the media:
Of course the media is an integral part of any functioning society and networks possess a tremendous amount of influence over the populace — from shaping the way we view ourselves to influencing our music choices and the foods we consume. It even controls, through both subtle and not-so-subtle manipulation, who we end up voting for. To Glenn, the far-left has indeed “co-opted the media.”
Transportation:
Glenn also said that government, through leftist policies, are using intimidation as a means to control Americans’ travel by way of higher gas prices, union protests, the Transit Authority and Homeland Security — all of which limit privacy and ease of travel for all Americans.
Faith has also been shaken by encroaching secularism and attacks on faith-seekers is becoming a regular occurrence. As each reference to God and a higher power is eroded from our country’s framework, America will lose sight of the very bedrock it was built upon. Atheism, of course, is a core tenet of Communism.
Health:
With the push towards mandating aspects of the nations’ health care and how it is deployed, nationalized health care is becoming reality. By relinquishing ownership over one’s own health, we become dependent on the government to keep us alive. Government then assumes control over our very being.
Energy:
Two refineries – Sunoco and Conoco Phillips — that produced 20% of the oil for the east cost shut down. With consumer flops like the Chevy Volt, moratoriums on drilling and failed solar power companies raking in the subsidies before they fail, energy is another piece of the American puzzle being corrupted.
Police/Security:
Glenn cited that even Atlanta’s police force has, for some time now, been hiring people with criminal records. If this practice follows suit across the country, then the security Americans had felt before will be compromised, which is merely another form of control.
“Occupy the System”:
Glenn also delved into the recent communist symposium in New York, “Occupy the System — Confronting Global Capitalism,” and provided a list of just some of the progressives, marxists, self-proclaimed communists and socialists in attendance:
- Michael Moore
- Larry Holmes, Workers World Party
- Pearl Granat – Vice President of SEIU
- Jarvis Tyner, Communist Party
- Gary Hicks, Marxist Library
- Bill Wharton, Socialist Party
- Peter Ikeler, Socialist Action
But what can we do about it?:
When taken in its entirety, the picture painted above is unsettling to say the least. And for Glenn, the shaken integrity of each core component combined is a means by which the population is being controlled.
And as we have seen evident in the current IRS bullying of Tea Party groups, anyone who dares question the left will likely suffer a threat of some kind.
In order to abate this encroaching danger, Glenn urged viewers to begin studying Communism as he believes progressivism was merely a vehicle by which to deliver us to this final stage of the political spectrum. Per progressive and communist ideology, Glenn reminded that, left to your own devices, you are considered a “stupid commoner” who will only “hurt the collective.”
He added that physical force is not needed to resist this oppressive state, but rather instructed the audience and viewers to simply “free yourself from the system” by following some simple steps:
- Extricate yourself from debt to gain increased independence.
- Buy local and, if you haven’t, connect with your neighbors to build a sense of community. Protection comes in numbers.
- Be the best at your job.
- Curb internet use — especially social media and tracking applications on smart phones and gadgets — and resume connecting with people face-to-face. It is important to build a realtime rapport with your neighbors and peers so that in the event of an emergency, you’ll know where to find each other. It also reinforces the knowledge that we are all individuals, not faceless members of the collective.
- While the financial aspects may be prohibitive for some if not most, having access to land with a fresh water supply is crucial. If one is able to grow food, he or she will never go hungry, nor will one have to rely on the government for sustenance.
- Read, particularly those volumes that speak to and fulfill one’s needs spiritually.
- Keep a journal and a ham radio
One takeaway Glenn shared with viewers was to “fundamentally transform” the U.S. back “into a place where freedom grows.”

But after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy.

Posted on March 20, 2012 at 9:24pmIn the book Ameritopia, part 1 , Mark Levin talks about the founders of socialism. He starts off with Plato and his book “Republic”, he died in 347BCE and Aristotle’s “The City”. The chapter 3, is about Thomas More and his book “Utopia” was executed in 1535. Chapter 4, he talks about Thomas Hobbes and his book “Leviatham”, he died in 1679. Chapter 5 , he talks about Carl Marx and his book “the Communist Manifesto” he died in 1883.Then add Lenin, Stalin and Mao, all these communist brought communism to Russia and China not by vote but with guns and intimation . I will add obama to this mix. Each one of these men though socialism could work and the state would control all there humans behavior . Each one of these men fail, starting with Plato, but Thomas More thought he could do it better, same with Hobbes, Marx, and how obama. I could add Wilson, Roosevelt, Johnson ,Nixon, Carter, Clinton, and Bush, thank God these were to stupid to print more money. Socialism dies when it runs out of other peoples money, the modern socialist like obama , money is no concern because he has the federal reserve to print more money. Most colleges Plato is require reading, Question; Are these young people being indoctrinated into Socialism, I think Yes.

Posted on March 20, 2012 at 9:59pmYou tell me if any of this looks familiar
Russian Revolution really started in the early 1800′s
First they poked at the authorities for “Change” using assassinations around 1800
2) they waited until the government was almost broke.
3) they fermented discontent and isolated a target (the bourgeoisie and intelligencia) and set groups against them (the laborers, the peasants and the small land owners) using propaganda and the unpopular war to spread wonderful sounding lies and promises.
4) they infiltrated the Duma with promises to end the Russian involvement in the war and to take land from the wealthy land owners and give it to the peasants.
5) they organized small groups in the cities who were interconnected through the labor parties.
6) they infiltrated the leadership of Military, the Czars palace guards and civilian police forces.
7) they over-ran the Czar and his forces after using a mass worker’s protest/strike in numbers large enough to be threatening throwing objects, yelling and screeming at the police/gaurds which resulted in civilians being shot by the police.

Beck is a performer making a good living off of mischaracterising the U.S. with shadowy figures and scary innuendos, like only HIS chosen are awake. When someone disagrees with Him you all respond with “Troll”. But you should be what Beck says and do your own diligence. Look up “Beck Lies” or “Beck Lies List”, or many other listing of the same title. One of the mainstays of this site are ‘you’ll find news here that the L.S.M. won’t report”. When they actually DO report what he’s complaining about, sometimes the day before he does. Murdoch is far worse than Soros can be, Soros doesn’t own T.V. stations, newspapers, and magazines.

Read your history books (they‘re those dusty ol’ things you bought and placed on your bookshelf to impress guests, but have never actually read) and see how well “the EXTREME opposite end of that spectrum” has worked out. Pay special attention to the right-wing death squads killing the children of rebels when they could not get to the rebels themselves, or the priests who were murdered, or the nuns who were raped and murdered because they were seen as “Communist sympathizers”. Read up on the Contras, or Pinochet. Then tell me how you feel about “the EXTREME opposite end of that spectrum”.

It sounds like you must read A LOT, Because, I really had a hard time understanding the big points you were making in your rant. Really enlighten me. I know of the Nazi’s (socialist) Communism ( Communist) Islam (Fascist) I know all of these have one thing in common they are all CENTRALIZED governing powers. The opposite end of these is a representative REPUBLIC where I can hold my leaders accountable for their actions right or WRONG. Please help me to understand. Loan me some of your well read books.

Extension of factories and instruments of production owned by the State. Equal liability of all to labor. Establishment of industrial armies especially for agriculture ie modern day unions.ree education for all children in public schools. Abolition of children’s factory labor in its present form.

The Nazi’s were National Socialists, and that one little word “national” changes the meaning a whole lot. If you have no books (not even Hop on Pop? Un-American, sir!), use this great thing called the Internet to do some research.

Posted on March 21, 2012 at 12:25amWell, I wouldn’t consider myself a little boy, and I am very lucid at the moment. If you read the article above, one can see that the connections between his conclusion and his supporting arguments are very loose. For example, claiming that Dodd-Frank was created for the purpose of intimidating financial institutions seems to completely disavow any knowledge of the previous state of the financial industry, let alone its current state.
One thing I will give him, though, is that he does seem very passionate and exudes a certain love that is obviously felt by his fans. The advice given at the end of the article is great, but the premise of this argument is very extreme. Juxtaposing Obama to Mao and Stalin is pretty extreme, no? We see the financial industry flowing money into Romney’s super pac, yet Obama has allegedly seized control of all the industries. How does this make sense?
To associate progressive legislation aimed at making the working class stronger and defending it from those who wield immense fiscal power to communism is akin to claiming that anti abortion legislation is a result of impending theocracy. I could even propose that the Blunt amendment (blanket law covering any company) is a sign of impending plutocracy or corporatocracy.
Dealing in absolutes does not serve anyone and only deteriorates the integrity of the conversation.

OK, but I as understand it, no opportunities have really been taken. All of these moves have been made only to protect the average american from the extreme, risky, and predatory actions of the financial industry. Just like a mechanic can take advantage of someone who doesn’t know much about cars, financial firms (armed with years of study and training) can take advantage of most people, and when they do it a lot more is at stake.
I just think it is important to note that most, and I want to put emphasis on most, protection laws were created for a reason. I say most because of course government has overstepped in a lot of situations.

Posted on March 20, 2012 at 8:54pmI saw shades of the military being compromised back in ‘96 as a new recruit. They went as far as compromising the training with the Time Out rule, where new recruits can give T.I.’s a time out card when they felt threatened. That was the beginning of the end of the military as we then currently knew it. The Military was actually compromised decades earlier with politicians dabbing into their affairs with pandering for votes and undermining the troops in battle. The earliest I can remember was Vietnam, but I suspect it happened even before then.
Back in 96 I was at Lackland AFB, in the beginning of training to be a SP (designation “L”) My flight was accused of being a gang, we had no idea what they were talking about. But they claimed we called ourselves “ The Horde”. It was utterly ridiculous. It made no sense at all, considering the reference of “The Horde” came from a friend of mines that was talking about how large our Flight was, roughly 70+ airmen, when the average flight at the time was 20-30 persons…

1. The revolutionary Communist Progressive Labor Party – http://www.plp.org
2.http://peoplesworld.org/communist-party-usa-90-years-of-activism-for-socialism-democracy-and-peace/
And let’s not forget the distinguished, above mentioned:
3. Jarvis Tyner, executive vice chair of the Communist Party USA
OR
One Obama’s favorite progressive legislators:
4. Rep. Danny Davis (D-IL), Most recent recipient of of the Peoplesworld.org award blah, blah, blah…
If you would do just a little research, you would find that it’s almost impossible to be a progressive and not pick up the communist mantle as well. If you now think you’re a communist, I would suggest that you really learn what communism is and has been historically.

Posted on March 20, 2012 at 11:35pmLet’s just go get it straight from the horses mouth…
In 1972, Gus Hall, then leader of the Communist Party USA, wrote in his book, “A Lame Duck in Turbulent Waters,” describing what had been the long-time party policy:
“Our electoral policy has for 25 years been expressed in the phrase, ‘the three legs of a stool’….The stool was constructed at a time when the Party was under sharp attack….a reflection of the Party’s response to the difficulties. The flexibility was contained in the idea that no one leg of the stool was the main leg. Depending on the political pressures, one could choose a particular leg or legs. In fact the concept was built on the idea that when the other two legs, namely, the Communist Party and the forces of political independence, got strong enough, then and only then would the stool sit on three legs. But until that day comes the one operating leg would be the liberal wing of the Democratic Party.”

I fall back to my “Hiring a Manger” analogy. You go out, hire a con-artist, the minute you give him the keys, he starts stealing you blind, maxes your credit, and starts setting fires. Your good employees are running around pointing it out and trying to put out the fires, and his cronies are slapping the fire extinguishers out of their hands, while blaming them for the mess.
What does the Dems get out of this? Well, those who have, get to keep theirs, their “Partners” are getting billions in laundered money (through failed investments, Solyndra, etc.), those who have very little, stay where they are. And those who aren’t picked to be “Winners”, theirs get taken away.
But that is what Communism is about, making everyone equal, all drones do what they are told, and the “Pigs”, well, they are just more equal, and they get to wear clothes.
For those who don’t know the Pig reference, please read Animal Farm.
