Now, I am going to tell you the truth about the so-called “Arab Spring,” and about the Middle East generally right now.
First, the “Arab Spring” as a force for democracy, human rights and peace in Egypt seems to me to be a fraud.

Again my question.. but what if this isn’t an inevitable course of events that we just let happen? What if this isn’t the events of Revelations and we could have stopped it?

Posted on May 16, 2011 at 2:56pmI agree that the Middle East problems we are seeing today was foretold in the Bible some 2000 years ago. God gave us a choice in the beginning to do good and we would prosper. Do bad and we would receive death and destruction. I don’t know why we as a nation blame God for all the good and the bad that happens to us as a nation. This choice is what we need to do right now. We need to turn to God and change our direction. Glenn has said this and I am saying this. I feel that this is the most important thing that we as a nation do to save our nation and receive our own personal salvation.

Posted on May 17, 2011 at 4:37amBen and Glenn have left out one important point. That is the master planner of these Middle Eastern events. You think it was Bin Laden that planned 911? No It was Russia who brought the Middle Eastern Muslim Zelots against the USA. Russia knew the outcome. Thats why it happened on Bush’s watch. Why Russia? Did you think the cold war and soviet subversion was over? Do you think the Berlin wall was dropped because Marxism died that day? The true answer is the opposite. The Berlin wall came down because it was not longer needed. Russia had subverted nearly all nations in Europe over to Marxism. Name me one that is not Socialist today.
Report Post »And now its time for Russia’s greatest work of subversion. Its time for the USA to complete their assimilation over to Marxism, via Russian subversion. That is the reason we have a Marxist president and a Marxist democratic party and a somewhat Marxist republican party…. thats right I said a Marxist republican party.
What do you think they teach those lawyers and political science majors who are running our country? They teach them the Stoic based doctrine of Hegel, Marx & Engels. The apostle Paul warned the house of Israel not to fall prey to this doctrine. Paul while in Athens argued with those of Stoic doctrine the account is written in Acts chapter 17:15. The warning is written in Colossians 2. Here we are, knee deep in the Stoic doctrine of philosophy, believing in its dialectic. What happened to believing in God’s

Posted on May 17, 2011 at 4:19amBe careful with your full acceptance of Glenn’s definition of what is occurring in the Middle East. He knows something is going on and his spiritual leaders are clanging the bells that something is amiss. However Glenn does not have it exactly correct and neither does Ben. Since neither Ben nor Glenn are biblical students, they are missing vast pieces of the puzzle, which would explain in detail what is going on and what we are observing not only in the Middle East, but around the world.
Most miss the fact that Russia (Roosh) is Esau… thats right the brother to Jacob who sold his birthright for a bowl of red pottage. Or Father hated Esau its written in Malachi chapter 1 and Romans 9:13. “As it is written Jacob I have loved, but Esau I have hated.”
Esau – Russia is the one standing behind what is occurring in the Middle East. That is where the planning for all Middle Eastern crisis comes from. Two results will occur from this most recent planning.
Report Post »1) Russia will become the main supplier of refined Middle East oil to the EU, China and Asia. The contracts are already signed with Iraq (2010). Iran and Iraq will become vastly wealthy from these oil contracts with Russia.
2) All trade for Middle Eastern oil will cease to occur in US dollars and will occur in Russian Rubles. This is how Russia plans on defeating the United States. It plans on replacing the US dollar as the worlds reserve currency. Mr Obama is being played by the Russians.

Posted on May 17, 2011 at 4:50amMr Obama is an easily manipulated puppet. He has an ego the size of the moon which he cannot get past. His second flaw is that he is wholly seduced by the doctrine of Hegel – Marx & Engels. Its both his political belief and his religious belief (liberation theology). He is not a Christian, he believes in James Cone’s Liberation Theology, which is based on Marx & Engels doctrine. The Russians find him very simple to manipulate. All they have to do is pump up his ego and send him in the direction they want him to go. Look at how easily they manipulated him into war with Libya. Where do you think the intel came from concerning Bin Laden? Russia gave it to us. Why? They knew it would inflame the hatred between the USA and the Middle East, driving them further apart.
The point is to get the USA out of the Middle East. We are not there for the oil as it only represents about 10% of our use. We are there because all Middle Eastern oil transactions take place in US dollars. The value of our dollar is base on Middle Eastern oil sales. We are not there for the oil, we are there for the oil sales.
Russia’s plan is to drive us out of the Middle East, and take our position related to oil sales. Do you have any idea what will happen to the US economy if the US dollar is no longer backed by Middle East oil sales? The value will drop like a rock if its not backed by oil sales. Russia knows this.

Posted on May 16, 2011 at 7:59amIntroducing Senate Bill 3081
Senate Bill 3081 is called the Enemy Belligerent, Interrogation, Detention, and Prosecution Act of 2010. It was introduced by Senator John McCain, but he acted in behalf of Senators Lieberman, Inhofe, Brown, Wicker, Chambliss, LeMieux, Sessions, and Vitter, all who co-sponsored the bill.
First let’s note two things right off the bat.
One – Senator John McCain is a Republican. Yes, he’s a “republican in name only” (RINO) as far as many people are concerned, but he wears the label of the Republican party, has the full-court approval of the Republican party, and has run for president on that same ticket. He is a senior member in the Senate, with many years under his belt.
Two – this bill was introduced March 2010. March 2010. Have you heard about it at all? Has there been an outcry over this bill in any media outlet? Do common every day Americans who are busy working and trying to survive, who don’t have time to peruse and glean information from various Internet news sites and blog spots even know that such a bill is before Congress?

Posted on May 16, 2011 at 9:38amBuckeye,
Stein is 20 years older than GB, AND his books are the kind of stuff GB read to get to BE the GB that we all know, and love, and support. I have zero idea if Stein listens to Glenn, but he defintely is WAY smart enough on his own to ‘get’ that it’s a sham over there.
The guy is a professional economics writer and opion wsriter, with a law degree, who used to teach law and culture. Again, Stein is WAY smart enough on his own to ‘get’ that, without Glenn Beck or anyone else. H3ll, I’m an ex-HS drop out, veteran, with a few hours of college credits, EVEN I get that it’s a sham, I agree with GB on this, but I didn‘t ’need’ him to point it out to me.
I understand your comment, but I think it’s the kind of comment that, ironically, makes the kool aid drinkers think conservatives are the ones who need the Limbaughs, Becks, and Hannitys to lead us around.
(anyone else think Glen is moving to TX?)

Posted on May 16, 2011 at 10:25amI hardly think Ben Stein needs to give Glenn credit due to his high intellegance and education plus he is well aware of world situations both in the US and in the Middle East. Have any of you seen the movie EXPELLED wich was written and produced by Ben Stein, you will be amazed at this movie. PLus it will show you the insight Ben has on whats going on in this world.

Posted on May 16, 2011 at 11:32amWell, it is pretty obvious what is occuring in the Middle East. I don’t believe Stein hijacked Beck, so much as stating what is apparent to anyone with rudimentary knowledge of Middle Eastern affairs. The only ones who seem to still believe in this ridiculous notion of an “Arab Spring”, are oblivious to history and reside in the White House/State Department. Iran had a “Persian Spring” where they overthrew a tyrant. Most of the Persian revolutionaries were young, cosmopolitan, and college educated. An Islamic fundamentalist minority of roughly 30% highjacked the movement, killing those who opposed them, and were all-around more organized and ruthless than their opposition. The majority of Russians weren’t Communists/Socialists when the Bolshevik Revolution occurred, nor the majority of Germans were NAZIs. One could even argue that the majority of the American colonialists were not “revolutionaries” and were either loyal to Britain or indifferent to the cause.
The White House’s naivete and incompetence is embodied by their Middle East failures, from doing nothing to aid the Persians‘ attempt to topple the Ayatollah in ’09, to their facillitating the rise of hostile Islamic theocracies throughout the region.

The only thing he got wrong was “You heard it here first” … Glen has been saying this same thing for a very long time now.

Posted on May 16, 2011 at 2:37pmHypocrite Beck steals most of his information from other sources and passes it off as his that is why he is being sued by multiple party’s.
Report Post »Hypocrite Beck has a story like this on the Blaze but doesn’t both to put a hard hitting story like Jewish IMF boss rapes a woman. The IMF has some of the biggest crooks in the world in it let’s just say jewish organized crime. I wonder if its because he is kissing the Israeli’s ass. Just a thought. This is why Hypocrite Beck has no credibility left.

Posted on May 16, 2011 at 3:05pmHey Buckeye, I like GB too, but come on, he isn’t the only free thinker in the country. Some of us actually have thoughts all on our own, just no platform on which to air them. Ben Stein is brilliant, always has been, and calls it like he sees it.

Posted on May 17, 2011 at 3:53amActually the first one to speak of these events was neither Glenn nor Ben. These events were spoken of by the prophet Daniel about 425 years before Christ. Daniel 8 specifically defines the events which are taking place in the Middle East today. The Ram spoken in those verses is identified in Daniel 8:20 “the ram which thou sawest having two horns are the kings of Media and Persia” Media is conquered Babylon where Daniel was living during the prophecy, that is now modern day Iraq. Persia had its name changed right after WWII where it was allied with Germany. Iran means Aryan, which was the master race Hitler attempted to build up. Persia is Iran of today. Historically Media was conquered by Persia, and the two nations seemed to blend together.
Ben is correct concerning Iran, it is taking control of the Middle East and Iraq will become joined to Iran. Together these two will rise to power just as it is written in the prophecy of Daniel chapter 8. They will become powerful and very wealthy. Both are allies with Russia (Esau). In 2010 Iraq entered contract with Russia to have Russia refine its oil, Thats right … Russia not the USA.
Report Post »This is a major power shift occurring in the MIddle East. Iran and Iraq obtain control over the region and Russia gets the rights to refine all the oil which it will sell to the EU and China. The Ruble will replace the US dollar as the oil trading currency of the world.

Posted on May 17, 2011 at 6:30amBen Stein’s comments about the “Arab Spring” movement being a revolt to establish democracy in Egypt and other Arab countries is correct and factual. It’s a farce. It’s radical Islam using terminology lioke freedom and democracy that appeals to Westerners. It’s a farce and soon the old militant Egypt of prior 1967, that’s now in the hands of the “Arab Brotherhood”( Radical Islam) will be leading another Arab crusade to push Israel into the sea and exterminate the Jewish Race. Have we forgotten who (US) armed Osama-bin-Laden and other radicals who fought against Russia in Afghanistan ? That was a fight for “democracy” also, but the Taliban took over the government in Afghanistan and we paid for our complicity on 9 / 11/ 2001 and have been paying dearly in two wars for the past decade.
Of course Iran is the instigator of the Mideast political turmol that I has absolutely nothing to do with democracy in the region. It’s all about the extermination of Israel as a Nation and the Jewish people. as a race. The turmoil and fighting in Libya is also a farce and if and when Khadafi falls, so will all stability in region. America ( Obama ) will live to regret our complicity with the forces fighting to take control of Libya. If the Arab brotherhood gains control of Libya they it will also control North Africa since it already controls Egypt. Whoever controls Egypt also controls the Suez Canal.
