We Need A Revolution, Not A Movement

The elections of 2008 (and the early elections of 2010) produced two significant phenomena: the “Ron Paul Revolution” and the “Tea Party Movement.” And mark it down: both of them will have profound effects upon the upcoming November elections–and upon the 2012 elections as well. Call them what you want; however, America doesn’t need another movement; it needs a genuine revolution.

The Tea Party movement, while still a force with which to be contended, has already been diluted and compromised. The primary elections plainly reveal the reality of this fact. The high spots so far are the defeats of Arlen Specter in Pennsylvania and Bob Bennett in Utah. The low spots so far are the reelection of John McCain in Arizona and the election of Dan Coats in Indiana.

John McCain’s election, in particular, demonstrates how many conservatives and “revolutionaries” still don’t get it. If any State in the union should have an up-close-and-personal look at what we are up against, it would be the people of Arizona. After all, they are on the front lines in the fight of one of the most important battles currently being waged in our country: illegal immigration. And John McCain is one of the worst offenders in terms of facilitating and encouraging this illegal invasion. Yet the people of Arizona reelected McCain to the US Senate. (It would interesting to know how many illegal aliens voted for McCain, would it not?)

Then again, John McCain received the enthusiastic endorsement of former Alaska governor, Sarah Palin. This endorsement obviously brought McCain thousands of Tea Party votes that otherwise would have gone to his principal opponent, J.D. Hayworth. McCain is not the only Big-Government globalist neocon to receive Palin’s endorsement. Many of Palin’s endorsees are neocons; which leads to one of the biggest problems with any so-called conservative movement: allowing celebrity-type “conservatives” to become the de facto leaders and spokesmen for what should be a true grassroots, people-generated rebellion. Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck are the two biggest culprits in this regard.

Mark my words: Palin and Beck may see themselves as part of a conservative “movement,” but they want nothing to do with an old-fashioned, honest-to-God, Patrick Henry-style revolution. In fact, they are doing everything in their power to keep such a revolution from taking place.

This does not mean that Palin and Beck do not contribute some good things to freedom’s fight. They do. The problem is, for every good thing they contribute they counterbalance it by supporting establishment principals, such as John McCain and Newt Gingrich, and attacking non-establishment players and ideas, which serves only to keep the Big-Government power structure firmly ensconced in Washington, D.C.

Get real, folks, and start thinking for yourselves. Ask yourself why Fox News never (or hardly ever) invites non-establishment patriots to appear on their network. Why do you not see former Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Paul Craig Roberts on Fox News? Why do you not see former Georgia congressman and Presidential candidate Bob Barr on Fox News? Why do you not see former Minnesota governor Jesse Ventura on Fox News? Why do you not see former Director of the US Office of Economic Opportunity and Presidential candidate Howard Phillips on Fox News? Why do you not see Presidential candidate Chuck Baldwin on Fox News? The list is endless.

Fox News is not “fair and balanced.” It is as controlled and manipulated as any other media news network. The only thing it balances is the other networks’ infatuation with the Democrat Party, by promoting Republican candidates and ideas. What it does not do is educate and inform the American people with the truth as to what both major parties are doing to destroy our country. But remember, Fox News is owned by Keith Rupert Murdoch, the same man who helped finance Hillary Clinton’s campaign for the US Senate, and who is as much of a globalist as anyone in Washington, D.C., or New York City.

As an aside, and speaking of Hillary Rodham, I predict that she will replace Vice President Joe Biden BEFORE the 2012 elections. I’ve said that in private for many weeks, and now say it in this column–remember, you heard it here.

The Clinton-Bush Crime Syndicate (CBCS) needs Hillary in the White House badly, and Obama has readily accepted a subservient role in the criminal affairs of CBCS (for very profitable reasons, no doubt). And with the CBCS bosses pretty much are running things at the White House (they don’t worry about domestic or social issues, providing that these do not interfere with their international criminal activities), is it any wonder that Obama has already taken more vacations than most Presidents take during an entire term?

And it is the influence of globalists and neocons upon national and international politics that the likes of Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck simply do not get–or do not want to get. And because many Tea Partiers are so enamored with these two (and allow them to do much of their thinking for them), they remain clueless as well.

Ladies and gentlemen, America is in the throes of socialist and Marxist political upheaval. The curtain could fall at any time. The American people need to wake up to this truism: a “conservative” movement–even a conservative Tea Party movement–will not save us. The only thing that will save us is an old-fashioned State revolt.

Arizona had the opportunity to become a modern-day version of 1775 Massachusetts. But Arizona has probably forfeited that leadership role by (1) reelecting John McCain, and (2) being willing to allow federal courts to dictate law to a sovereign State. Instead of taking its case to the federal courts, Arizona should simply tell the federal government that it will enforce its own State laws (including the newly enacted anti-illegal immigration law) regardless of what any federal court says or doesn’t say. At some point, that is exactly what some State (or group of states) in this union is going to have to do, or liberty will be forever lost.

As long as freedom lovers are content to remain satisfied with the status quo by allowing party politics and media celebrities to dominate their efforts, there will be no stopping this socialist avalanche that is crashing down upon us. The Tea Party movement of 2010 (if left free of Big-Government neocons) could certainly translate into positive developments this November; that is for sure. A revival of the “Ron Paul Revolution” in 2012 could also make a significant contribution, but it is going to take a State revolution to seal the deal. I, for one, am ready.

Glenn Beck’s Big Lie: Will the Real Glenn Beck Please Stand Up?

By Mark Daniels, Global Political Awakening

While Glenn Beck, corporate media personality, and Sarah Palin wave the American Flag in Washington, D.C. to “restore honor” to “this great nation,” I ponder the real motives behind the hysteria.

First, Beck claimed that he would use the rally to “reclaim” the civil rights movement. Reverend Al Sharpton on Fox News last night, stated “Beck didn’t do what he said...he didn’t even mention civil rights” at his rally. Sharpton intensely criticized Glenn Beck for his apparent “hijacking” of the “hallowed” ground where Martin Luther King, Jr. gave his historic “I Have A Dream” speech in 1963.

Regardless, I must question the veracity of anything presented on Fox News since a News Corps, Inc. (Fox News parent company) majority stock holder is apparently funding the Ground Zero Mosque Imam, while failing to mention the connection during their relentless campaign to stir the proverbial pot of controversy. I guess they have moved on to a “new” controversy, apparently dissatisfied with promoting religious intolerance and inciting bigotry and hatred between whites and blacks.

Is Al Sharpton, a regular Fox News contributor, unwittingly playing into their deliberate engineering of racial, ethnic and religious hatred? That is a discussion for a later time.

According to Kurt Nimmo’s article, Glenn Beck’s Outrageous Lie: Racist Van Brunn is “Hero of 9/11 Truthers”, Glenn Beck is “a government disinfo operative tasked with taking down the 9/11 truth and patriot movements.”

Consider the following facts discussed in more detail in Nimmo’s article:

• Beck refers to 9/11 truthers as white-supremacists
• Beck equates 9/11 truthers with Al-Qaeda terrorists
• Beck joined the ex-Marxist neocon, David Horowitz, to denounce Ron Paul’s supporters as terrorists
• Beck labels Libertarians and the Anti-War left as threats to America

Apparently, Beck wants to “lead” the same people he has repeatedly called homegrown “terrorists.” Paul Joseph Watson & Alex Jones, in their article, Glenn Beck For Dummies, clearly delineates Beck’s deceit:

“Despite the fact that Beck claims to be ‘a Libertarian at heart,’ he has publicly supported programs and legislation that are universally abhorred by the vast majority of libertarians, such as the banker bailout and the USA Patriot Act…. Beck has also been aggressively pushing for new taxes in order to pay for the bailout that he supported. On December 4, he appeared on fellow neo-con Bill O’Reilly’s show to promote a 2 percent VAT tax to be adopted that would go directly to pay down the national debt.”

The only way to fully understand how deep Glenn Beck wades through the waters of deception is to examine the way he handled the money “patriots” contributed to his “charity” fund that was supposedly designated to provide college scholarships to children of United States veterans. Beck reportedly spent approximately 2 million of the 5 plus million collected to promote himself at the so called “Restoring Honor” rally held in Washington, D.C. yesterday. It is also worth mentioning that Glenn Beck and his new sidekick, Sarah Palin, both hold millions of dollars in personal bank accounts. Do they sound like the sort of people needed to “restore honor” to America?

In his recently published book, Common Nonsense: Glenn Beck and the Triumph of Ignorance, Alexander Zaitchik explains:

Glenn Beck deserves every shell of heavy fire he’s getting for his “Restoring Honor” rally scheduled for August 28 on the National Mall. His critics are right about the absurd audacity of his loud claims on the legacy of Martin Luther King, who delivered his “I Have a Dream speech” 47 years to the day before Beck’s own planned (and long coveted) spotlight on the Mall.

But as perverse as Beck’s fantasies about being an heir to MLK may be, the most notable aspect of Beck’s planned August rally is its lack of originality. To grasp the extent to which the August rally is straight out of Beck’s playbook, all you need to do is review Beck’s biggest success of 2003. That was the year Beck organized another event he described as being “all about the troops.” Then, as now, he asked his listeners to send in donations to pay for what was little more than a massive Glenn Beck, Inc. promotional extravaganza.

Well, I could go on, ad infinitum, to reveal the truth about Glenn Beck’s Big Lie; instead, I recommend that you do some research about Glenn Beck, Fox News, and his associates like Sarah Palin, et al, before you join “his version” of ”restoring honor to America”.

It is time to Wake Up! You too, can join the “Global Political Awakening”!
