I thought only right wing nutters like Alex Jones spouted this stuff. Aren’t these the same guys (Fox News) who laughed at Jones for exactly the same message?

#9, #10, #11 – good points.
I think that Glen Beck is just another shill like most of the big media wonks on network news these days. Someone pulls a string and he dances around like a good little coorporate news monkey. So yeah, I’m a little suspicious of him you might say.
Now Alex Jones comes across as a Constitution loving, big government hating Texan who likes to yell a lot. His news seems to pan out though. Many called him a Left-wing Alarmist instead of a Right-wing alarmist when he critisized GW Bush. So which is it? The right-wing and left-wing labels are tired, used-up semantics nowadays. They have become a tool of manipulation.
Do we really trust those in the Executive, the FED, or the big banks right now? Really? You will notice many more people sounding like Mr. Jones very soon as we fully realize just how badly we all have been scammed by criminals at the top.
Can you call someone an alarmist in alarming times?
@Dallas #17 – Evidently, as he became more outrageous and irrational, he moved to the next place.
It now makes sense that coming to FOX says he reached the pinnacle of irrational behavior.
Gosh, I didn’t know we were allowed to shortcut the entire argument just by trashing the person making it. Man, what a chump I’ve been, wasting my time arguing on the merits! Logic made easy, the Dallas way!
This is what happens when stand-up comedians find Jesus after a night full of booze.
#6 – It looks like the deal was pretty simple: Beck wanted direct access to Fox’s viewers to spread is message (which I see as simply deranged, not left or right wing as #21 hints at). In turn, Fox agreed not to throw Beck under the bus, which O’Reilly has gone to great pains not to do when Beck is on his show, in order to get Beck’s audience into their Nielsens.
Best moment was when Beck started to cry before his interview with Palin on his first FNC show. He has a “special needs child” as well, and it was just too much apparently.
Alex Jones is a Left wing nutter.
#22 hey, I’m here to help you cut to the chase. This is my gift to you and my civic duty to help the uninformed.
Anyway, you will find it most efficient to parse through the day to day bullshit when you first identify the source. That way, you spend more of your valuable time debating the wiser opinions.
You are very welcome.
@25
Stop the labeling please.
Or is it why he did this new film “The Obama deception”?: http://youtube.com/watch?v=Od8bcCvX3jU
this is better comedy than anything on the onion, the over the top performance on the intro was really laughable..let alone the rest of it..
fox – what can we hype today for ratings??
@Dallas #26 – you will find it most efficient to parse through the day to day bullshit when you first identify the source. That way, you spend more of your valuable time debating the wiser opinions.

So, OK, let me try…
Dallas is just a blowhard blog troll, full of hot air, whose contributions consist of name-calling and wisecracks instead of reasoned debate. Therefore, anything he has to say can be totally ignored.
There. I just used your “logic” to beat your argument. I win!
I used to watch Glenn Beck when he was on CNN, he wasn’t as bad as some of you make him out to be. He can get passionate about his topics, but he no where near a bad as Bill O, Rush L or Keth O.
@#25:
Alex Jones is “left wing”? Have you ever listened to this guys radio show? I would have to give that a resounding NO!
Lol!
And I don’t even like Jones half of the time…
What a coincidence, today, I attended a presentation by one of the world’s largest and most influential market research firms which talked about doing business in a “post affluent” America.
A change which they said, unlike the depression of the 1930′s, would be permanent.
#28, k,

Hhmmm, so what is your problem with Dallas’s argument? Glenn Beck is trolling for numbers. Dallas called him on that. This isn’t a “shoot the messenger” situation, it is quite simply a situation where a soot encrusted pot was called black.
If you like to waste your time with conspiracy theories then go for it. Just don’t be surprised that someone might end up calling you something along the lines of a tin-foil hat moran.
Alex Jones is neither right-wing or left-wing in any traditional sense… he’s more like ‘X’-wing if anything. That’s why I listen to Alex when I have time… and No Agenda (which is turning into a most interesting netcast).
Boy Scout Motto:
Be Prepared.
I think the mega pigs are setting us up. The more severe the crisis the more extreme the measures. If you really want to know what this is all about we’ll just have to wait and see what kind of changes they decide to impose on us all. I’ve really got no idea, but the way they’re playing this up I get the impression I’m not gonna like it.
Beck is a bit of everything these days. Sometimes he makes sense and you think he is a middle of the road conservative. Then he launches into a tirad about the country close to civil war. The trouble with media these days is their are plenty of believable so called experts that can convince you of anything. A person has to learn to read between the lines and gel facts between several sources to get a accurate view.
Cultists cannot see reality…they reinterpret everything as an attack upon their dear Leader…and evidently so do Obamadules…
Beck’s disclaimers these are not predictions…is not heard…his protestations he and his crew hope everything goes well…not considered…
No, he must be called a nut job…because he isn’t an Obamadule…a servant of the Obama icon…
Well…as in the past…the iconoclasts will rise again…

The conclusion is probably correct ONLY IF the premises that got us there remain the same…Liberalism’s insanity of not exploiting our natural resources…and punishing producers…
However, a collapse of our system could be seen as a repudiation of Government and judicial tyranny…and its likely, given the industry of our people, we could rise again…

I’ll bet breakfast at the Oak Table in Sequim that Beck/Celente/Alex Jones are closer to being correct (they have been so far) then any stooge on CBS, NBC, ABC or any other main stream media outlet.
We are not immune to civil unrest. Hope you have a years worth of food and several hundred thousand dollars worth of Gold.
I recall an interview you conducted on TechTV in 1998 with Harry S. Dent. Have you checked out his new book? http://tinyurl.com/bce63e Better grab yourself a copy and baton down the hatches.
