Glenn Beck Explains The Latest Iteration Of Quantitative Easing
Does most of America still really have no clue what Quantitative Easing is... Nor that Bernanke committed perjury over the whole "Federal Reserve will not monetize the debt" thing... Nor that Tim Geithner also lied on CNBC when he told Treasury puppet Steve Liesman that the Fed is not monetizing debt? So what is the point of all of this?

Ha ha.
douche bag.
who, Beck or Douchinger?
Denninger kicks ass , has been on this since the beginning and is spot on with his analysis.
Here is why Beck is a douche - http://www.infowars.com/glenn-beck-federal-reserve-%E2%80%9Cmay-help-us%E2%80%9D-by-printing-money/
You display your ignorance and your inclination to be led around by a gentle tug on that ring in your nose.
Beck haters can never publish the full context of his comentaries, it would always prove them LIERS.

Touche'
I don't get why it is so trendy for otherwise thoughtful people to shit all over Glenn Beck. Is it easy to mock him? Sure. You can spend all day lampooning him to the snickering pleasure of your oh-so-clever friends, but is anyone else remotely connected to the MSM talking about any of these issues? Here we are, in a nation that pats itself on the back continuously for our free press, yet not a single national media organization has critically appraised any of the topics that Beck has raised. No, they laugh him off as a crying clown, while they peddle the sheeple the day's shipment of hopium horseshit.
So it's not cool, but I think Beck is a rather heroic figure. Throw all the darts you want at him, but find me anyone else reachable by TV remote that is actually pointing the awakening masses to the crimes in their midst.
I have been saying the same exact thing to all of my friends and coworkers. he doesnt get everything correct, but is the only one that is bringing attention to this issue. I dont understand the bashing. Just cause he is on Fox doesnt mean he is a fucking shill like Hannity or O'Reilly. i also dont get why people like to think that Grayson is okay because he bashes the fed, but since Beck is still a "douche" when he talks about it.
Also, just want to thank ZH for all they do. Been a member here for a long time and this is the one of the few websites i actually trust. Keep up the good work.
I like Glenn Beck a lot too.
When he was young, he was a drunk and an addict, but he turned it around. How? By walking the walk he talks. He is trying to alert Americans who are not ZH-savvy to the grave problems we face. He may not be "cool" nor right on everything, but he IS a prophet who is screaming in the desert, and yet so many will not listen.
...
I also agree +++ with thanking ZH for what they do! Apparently they are not into this for the money. Yo ZH! Find a way to make it easy for us to contribute (that is, for those of us who do not trust the Internet & giving out our credit card numbers...). FOFOA found a way to get we more paranoid types to contribute, hey, just sayin'.
here is my two cents:
Beck is a lunatic. However, you are absolutely right to point out the fact that he is connecting with non-financially literate audiences. he IS accessible.
my folks keep it very simple. they are fiscally conservative, they are socially conservative (oppressive). basically, they are "right-wing Christians". THEY LISTEN TO GLENN BECK. he talks about gold and the Federal Reserve Bank. As a result, they have began to become interested in the details of systemic enslavement relating to fiat money, fractional reserve lending, and centralized money planning.
THANK YOU, GLENN BECK!!! This dude has skillz, ya'll.

i am an unapologetic Glen Beck fan (yet i'm agnostic, don't agree with everything he says, and don't think he's getting paid (in the puppet sense) by anybody to say what he says... - wait how can *that* be? - i don't fit your tidy category!).
GB is on *both* radio (3 hours + prep)) and TV (1 hour + prep) each day for roughly 200 days a year. think about how much output is happening, and how FEW items he can get called on as being wrong. sure, sometimes he's wrong, but what, 6 or 8 items out of 800 hours?
let's hear what *any* of you critics would do with his microphone for 1 week. that's 15 radio hours and 5 TV hours with his listener base. let's hear how well you would communicate complicated ideas to the millions who don't 'live' anywhere near this sort of sphere, and convince them on the most superficial level that something is *very* wrong, and the drivers that caused it are in denial, or are intentionally lying.
RR called him an "unctuous little man" a while back... sure, maybe he *is* that, and a bit over-the-top in his dramatic delivery... but his message is pretty simple: peaceful recovery of constitutional liberty/values, general honesty/accountability, and to avoid indebting our children with *our* mistakes and consumption. all this, while constantly shining a bright light on 'the other hand' of those who are currently 'running' this country (into the ground).
i don't care if it's purple fucking barney delivering those messages. feel free to believe as you will, but fuck you and the horse you rode in on if you *do* disagree with those principles.
i catch about 5 shows a month these days, and am very grateful he and his peers are out there. (BTW, i don't often agree with her, but stephanie miller cracks me up too... so now, go ahead critics, try to place this square peg in your convenient round holes, or whatever other orifices you'd love to fill)

Here he is stumping with O'Reilly for a VAT payable to whom?... Why, to no one other than the architects of ponzi debt currency themselves: the Globalist Banksters...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bYRZgIL-hUk
Add in the fact that Beck also supported the Bankster bailout and demonized 9/11 victims's families and you might have a better understanding that contempt for Beck signifies that you are at least trying to do your homework...
i don't have an informed opinion on beck or his history, but it is a measure of the utter contempt the economic aristocracy has for the "people" and "democracy" that federal government efforts to counter this deflationary depression (tbtf) are so (justly) hated that "austerity" and "small government" can be made even to seem a populist position. the added irony is that the opposite (profligacy and govt waste and bloat) so characterized most of the preceding twenty-six year expansion. is this what a bathtub drowning actually looks like?
Beck lost me with the thing about Unions starting all this . B.S.!! Unions have been diminished and diminished in my lifetime . There is little if any strength left in them . IT IS CORPORATE AMERICA . IT IS THE BANKSTERS- with the hand out for free money . SHOW ME THE LARGEST US CORPORATION WITH THE LARGEST NUMBER OF EMPLOYEES THAT IS UNION !! Just get used to it Union slammers . Your kids will never make more than 15$ an hour ever . Thats poverty wage . But wait , Inflation will lift everyone out of poverty as they will be making 30$ / hr fiatscos , then 300$/ , then 3000$ . This is not a Union issue it is a Corporate / Government corruption issue. Feel sorry for the folk who let Beck do their thinking for them ... uh ,can you say propaganda?
So the UAW did not Kill GM and Chrysler and then received majority stock ownership from the Federal Government as part of the bail out? SEIU did not contribute an estimated $1B to Democrats (directly and indirectly) this midterms.
Not saying the bankers are innocent. Just saying the unions are not innocent either.
GM and Chrysler management killed themselves. If it wasn't the unions or something else fighting for worker's rights, then our industries would be looking like Chinese sweat shops. Remember sweat shops, probably not. There always has been and always will be an oppressive oligarchy squeezing the population for their own benefit supported by government thugs.
By the way, that fucking slob Jack Welsh was on CNBC this morning saying over and over that the government needs to get out of the way so business can bring jobs to the people. Right, the government and business have colluded to bring jobs to the Chinese and given more freedom to do so, that will continue. Kiss my ass, Welsh.
Also, I am not a union member or supporter, just an observer of the bullshit strewn about liberally.
Kill corporate personage! Otherwise, no change of the sort we seek will ever come to pass.
Dude, violence is not the answer.
The rule of law and criminal prosecution is the answer. Violence lowers yourself to their level, that of the common criminal.
This is an infowar. Capture minds with facts, remind people of their constitutional rights and take political action.
I don't even know where to begin with all your lies and misinformation, Palmer.
"Add in the fact that Beck also supported the Bankster bailout and demonized 9/11 victims's families ..."
Let me ask you, Palmer..., did you happen to read the great ZH article yesterday about useful idiots? If not, plz refer back to it, and soon for your own sake.

From a bankster agent himself:
http://www.modernhistoryproject.org/mhp/ArticleDisplay.php?Article=NoneD...
V.I Lenin
While insider banker Paul Warburg controlled the Federal Reserve, and international banker Bernard Baruch placed government contracts, international banker Eugene Meyer, a former partner of Baruch and the son of a partner in the Rothschilds' international banking house of Lazard Freres, was Wilson's choice to head the War Finance Corporation, where he too made a little money. (Meyer later gained control of the highly influential Washington Post which became known as the "Washington Daily Worker.")
It should be noted that Sir William Wiseman, the man sent by British Intelligence to help bring the United States into the war, was amply rewarded for his services. He stayed in this country after WWI as a new partner in the Jacob Schiff-Paul Warburg controlled Kuhn, Loeb bank.
World War I was a financial bonanza for the international bankers. But it was a catastrophe of such magnitude for the United States that few even today grasp its importance. The war reversed our traditional foreign policy of non-involvement and we have been enmeshed almost constantly ever since in perpetual wars for perpetual peace. Winston Churchill once observed that all nations would have been better off had the U.S. minded its own business. Had we done so, he said:
"...peace would have been made with Germany; and there would have been no collapse in Russia leading to Communism; no breakdown of government in Italy followed by Fascism; and Nazism never would have gained ascendancy in Germany." (Social Justice Magazine, July 3, 1939, p.4.)
The Bolshevik Revolution
The Bolshevik Revolution in Russia was obviously one of the great turning points in world history. It is an event over which misinformation abounds. The myth-makers and re-writers of history have done their landscape painting jobs well. The establishing of Communism in Russia is a classic example of the second "big lie" of Communism, i.e., that it is the movement of the downtrodden masses rising up against exploiting bosses. This cunning deception has been fostered since before the first French Revolution in 1789.
Most people today believe the Communists were successful in Russia because they were able to rally behind them the sympathy and frustration of the Russian people who were sick of the tyranny of the Czars. This is to ignore the history of what actually happened. While almost everybody is reminded that the Bolshevik Revolution took place in November of 1917, few know that the Czar had abdicated seven months earlier in March. When Czar Nicholas II abdicated, a provisional government was established by Prince Lvov who wanted to pattern the new Russian government after our own. But, unfortunately, the Lvov government gave way to the Kerensky regime.
Kerensky, a so-called democratic socialist, may have been running a caretaker government for the Communists. He kept the war going against Germany and the other Central Powers, but he issued a general amnesty for Communists and other revolutionaries, many of whom had been exiled after the abortive Red Revolution of 1905. Back to mother Russia came 250,000 dedicated revolutionaries, and Kerensky's own government's doom was sealed.
In the Soviet Union, as in every Communist country (or as they call themselves -- the Socialist countries), the power has not come to the Communists' hands because the downtrodden masses willed it so. The power has come from the top down in every instance. Let us briefly reconstruct the sequences of the Communist takeover.
The year is 1917. The Allies are fighting the Central Powers. The Allies include Russia, the British Commonwealth, France and by April 1917, the United States. in March of 1917, purposeful planners set in motion the forces to compel Czar Nicholas II to abdicate. He did so under pressure from the Allies after severe riots in the Czarist capitol of Petrograd, riots that were caused by the breakdowns in the transportation system which cut the city off from food supplies and led to the closing of factories.
But where were Lenin and Trotsky when all this was taking place? Lenin was in Switzerland and had been in Western Europe since 1905 when he was exiled for trying to topple the Czar in the abortive Communist revolution of that year. Trotsky also was in exile, a reporter for a Communist newspaper on the lower east side of New York City. The Bolsheviks were not a visible political force at the time the Czar abdicated. And they came to power not because the downtrodden masses of Russia called them back, but because very powerful men in Europe and the United States sent them in.
Lenin was sent across Europe-at-war on the famous "sealed train." With him, Lenin took some $5 to $6 million in gold. The whole thing was arranged by the German high command and Max Warburg, through another very wealthy and lifelong socialist by the name of Alexander Helphand alias "Parvus."
When Trotsky left New York aboard the S.S. Christiania, on March 27, 1917, with his entourage of 275 revolutionaries, the first port of call was Halifax, Nova Scotia. There the Canadians grabbed Trotsky and his money and impounded them both. This was a very logical thing for the Canadian government to do for Trotsky had said many times that if he were successful in coming to power in Russia he would immediately stop what he called the "imperialist war" and sue for a separate peace with Germany. This would free millions of German troops for transfer from the Eastern front to the Western front where they could kill Canadians. So Trotsky cooled his heels in a Canadian prison-for five days.
Then all of a sudden the British (through future Kuhn, Loeb partner Sir William Wiseman) and the United States (through none other than the ubiquitous "Colonel" House) pressured the Canadian government. And, despite the fact we were now in the war, said, in so many words, "Let Trotsky go." Thus, with an American passport, Trotsky went back to meet Lenin. They joined up, and, by November, through bribery, cunning, brutality and deception, they were able (not to bring the masses rallying to their cause but) to hire enough thugs and make enough deals to impose out of the gun barrel what Lenin called "all power to the Soviets." The Communists came to power by seizing a mere handful of key cities. In fact, practically the whole Bolshevik Revolution took place in one city -- Petrograd. It was as if the whole United States became Communist because a Communist-led mob seized Washington, D.C. It was years before the Soviets solidified power throughout Russia.
All things considered, you’re not very useful.
That is a worm's eye view. Perhaps this is the "useful idiot" input discussed yesterday.
Just cuase he's on Fox
Just cause he's on Fox!!!!!!
What sort of blogosphere bizzarro world have I gotten myself involved with here at Z hedge.
What kind of veil has decended over the eyes of Tyler --- what hardening of his heart to truth.
Know ye the truth ---Not prove that you are right --- the truth --- is what Beck is selling --- and doing a good job at it.
Unions are good --- defined benifts are bad --- how can you one one hand support a defined retirement --- but on the other hand support excessive government spending and inflation
Tyler, contract some writer to expose defined benifit retirement.
The alligator will eat defined benifts and the unions
To sit back hoping that someday, some way, someone will make things right is to go on feeding the crocodile, hoping he will eat you last - but eat you he will.
Ronald Reagan
"I dont understand the [Beck] bashing."
He subscribes to the Red/Blue team fallacy (they're simply the two fronts for the same team!) and I _cannot stand_ his play acting, Kindergarten-level delivery.
Dylan Ratigan, also does a good job. Patriot's both in their own way.
yep, but what are the audience numbers?
I would expect it's growing, as people wake & wonder, why they can't feed their kids...
Yes, I prefer Dylan who I can actually stand to watch. His sentence structures could use some work, though. Talk about sometimes hard to follow run-on sentences...
Mocking beck is cool because he is a disinfo shill.Note how the tea party became the last chance for the republicans.Also note the businessman who spent 7 million of his own money to run that beck mentions....He will fit in well with the rest of the millionaires in congress.And he has more in common with them than he does with me.
Things are so bad now in amerika people desperately need someone to validate their sense of loss.beck does this, and steers them poorly.He dissipates energy that would otherwise result in revolution.Some find him edgy...but that is only because they are ignorant of how the world works.He is a tool, and he works for rupert murdoch.And rupert murdoch is EVIL.Make no mistake, if beck was worth a shit...he would get zero airtime.
Zero airtime.
Don't be naive.
You realize your circular logic? He's a disinfo shill because he is on TV, so the only people worth listening to are people who have no access to mass communication, but should they somehow acquire that access, they instantly become disinfo shills.
As for revolution, you cannot have revolution without leaders, and you cannot have viable leaders without mass communicaton.
No, he would be a shill no matter what kind of media he uses, you dolt.
Do you really mean to say the broadcast media in the US is open or fair?
Be ashamed.
The only way to get a primetime slot is to OBEY.You do nothing to upset TPTB...or you are gone.
Ask anyone who works in media.
Ask Tyler....why do you think this site exists?Because the MSM is true and correct?
No....because it is owned, by a tiny number of greedy bastards who don't give a rat's ass about anyone but themselves.
...Annnnd...
Why then did Tyler draw attetntion to the fact Beck is shining a bright light on QE?
Either TD is part of the plot, or Murdoch isn't the Dr. Evil you make him out to be...
Entirely possible that Murodch doesn't entirely like the direction things are going, y'know...

the key message from Fox is "decentralization".
The centralization of large public coffers is necessary for control. While I am sure that Rupert Murdoch wants your unborn children for ritualistic sacrifice, he is really beginning to undermine himself, don't you think?
" No, he would be a shill no matter what kind of media he uses, you dolt."
As soon as you resort to insults you show that your viewpoint is weak.
People need to understand that it doesn't matter who's saying it, as long as it's been said.
Actually, I was being contemptuous.My viewpoint is solid, beck is a shill.
And the fact that he says some true things redeems him not at all....great liars incorporate truth to really lead astray.
Here is an example.beck claims pensions are what keep us uncompetitive.
This is false and misleading.The textile industry is rife with examples that show why work moved offshore, so here is one.Sandblasted jeans.In the US, you would have to have an expensive respirator and the danger of silicosis is so high you would use glass beads instead(expensive).So go offshore, where the workers use river sand and wrap shirts around their faces.They either retire in 3 years or so with 15 percent lung capacity left....or they die.And they work for a few dollars an hour....which is good for where they are.
Slave labor combined with appalling pollution and deadly working environments is unbeatable.There is no way to compete.A pension makes it worse, of course.
Right now China has 500,000 tons of hexavalent chromium contaminated waste sitting in huge mounds...slowly leaching into the groundwater.The factories that just left it sitting there as opposed to proper disposal pocketed the difference.
Beck is disingenuous at best when he says the pensions are the problem....but it is obvious to me his handlers would be delighted if they could get Americans to believe a pension is simply asking too much.....as the wealth of the nation slowly floats into the pockets of fewer and fewer people at the peak of the demographic pyramid.
Misinformaton is very bad...especially when we need more than ever to inform people.
"Misinformaton is very bad..." - i'd say dangerous.
but babies and bathwater here. Glen Beck is not a shill, and provides much more value than damage.
let me know when you find someone better at spreading the word that things are not as they appear.
fortunately, while sincerely curious at who you prefer, reading ZH keeps me from having to wait for your answer for my ultimate enlightenment.
this place is great.
Please provide credible links to where GB has been for pensions in the last 6 years.
You are right, So stop it.
+100
The facts are,
He is a shill.
He is not factual, he is a selective contortionist of information.
Some of what he spews is outright fiction.
He is working for rupert murdoch.
He is an effective shepherd for the sheeple.
the key message from Fox is "decentralization".
The centralization of large public coffers is necessary for control.
While I am sure that Rupert Murdoch wants your unborn children for ritualistic sacrifice, he is really beginning to undermine himself, don't you think?
Please provide links to the outright fiction he spews.
Beck is a non-revolution leader. A tranquilizing disinfo clown as outlined by Cistercian, purpose built as a safety valve to deliver the proper TV programming needed to therapeutically euthanize the sheeple masses too stupid, old or helpless to access the interwebs. There is no circular logic in Cistercian's analysis. You are simply projecting the circular swirl of Beck's dime store bait and switch hypnosis and fusing it on to a proper dissection of a lame scam.
Yes, Beck provides some truth and awareness. It's the last bit where he directs you off a cliff and doesn't even have the decency to mock you like the roadrunner before you realize you're about to drop that's the really inconsiderate part of his schtick.
Meep meep
One of the best comments on Beck that I've ever read.
meep meep.
lol.
I see. So shoot the messenger. Yes I am quite certain that will get "it" done.
Doesn't know how the world works? Stating that Gummint does not create jobs shows him to be far ahead of the rest of the Republicrat herd
And he's so original too.NO ONE KNEW THIS BEFORE.....oh, wait..lots of us did.
Beck is evil.One truthy session does not a hero make.
It is cool to see the truth...but wait until you see where he takes it.It won't be true.
You are on the site of an actual hero, btw.
Note the differences.One is getting insanely wealthy and having rallies in DC!
YAY The messiah!!
The other tells the truth day after day, under a pseudonym.
Do you get that?
Geez, are we just a little bitter about the outcome of the Nov 2 elections? Don't worry, I'm sure one of those green energy jobs are coming your way soon.
Funny you should mention that.I am bitter about the fact that cubic money is required to run....with the strings attached, of course.I am not hopeful for actual change.
Well put.
Just because Beck is talking about real problems doesn't mean he's doing good. He points out real problems and then explains the exact opposite of how it actually happened.
Big union bosses are the problem? Seriously? Notice how Beck never bothers to mention Wall Street in this little rant, despite the fact that they will be the ones who benefit from QE, not to mention the people who want it to happen.
Beck is simply doing his job of misdirecting legit public anger.
also called a "useful idiot"
GB nails Wall Street on a regular basis. Wall Street isn't the intended target of the clip. it'd be like me hammering you for not mentioning Sean Hannity in your comment about Glen Beck.
being a direct beneficiary of QE doesn't mean they're doing the stealing. at the highest levels, the treasury/FED, who run the presses and make the policies, are the *base* of the problem, even if lots of Wall Street thieves are enjoying being (huge) party to the resulting theivery.
FWIW, if it weren't for the innocents, i wouldn't lose any sleep if an asteroid took out DC/NYC... i'm no fan of their game.
all the big players are involved here. unions, banks, hedgefunds, etc. GB is picking his targets, and i think they are generally the right ones to target.
it's fine if you don't like him, and/or don't watch him, but don't posture like you know his gig when you clearly don't.
more value than damage.
Probably your best point right here. However, even w/o Beck we are nowhere near the energy of activation to induce revolution. A time is most definitely coming for that and the sheeple will need to know where to focus their rage. Previously, only 'kooks' like Ron Paul and anarchists talked bout the Fed. Now, someone the tea sheeple look up to validates Paul's ideas? Huge. Now, in the rage and energy of Revolution comes the will to destroy what needs destroying. I think he's an appropriate brick in the wall..
As near as I can figure, the rich run for office because they are the only ones with enough time.
That is a great fucking point. You are the first person I have heard point this out. Who ever heard of "The Road to Serfdom" in our country before he talked about it besides the few of us who still have 2 brain cells to rub together and actually give a shit.
Meanwhile everybody knows who the fuck Snookie is.
Bravo sir....
Couldn't agree more. Nobody is perfect, but the guy is out there trying to sound the alarm as best he can.
Stop looking to the TV to save you, dumbass; think for yourself and you won't need a damn 'hero'.
You are overlooking the fact that Glenn Beck has stated during interviews that he is an entertainer and that his primary goal is not to educate the masses but to make good money. Before you chew me up and spit me out- I AM looking for the source and will post it here when I find it.
The problem is that Beck is mis-portraying the problem.
The reason we are screwed is because Big Union Bosses? Seriously? We don't have any unions left in this country. It's almost like blaming unicorns.
Sure, the original problem is that we don't make anything anymore, but that happened when we started making free trade agreements with 3rd world countries. Yes, the politicians are getting bought off, but it's by large corporations, not unions.
Beck is much like the Tea Party movement. It's right to be angry. It's even right about the problems. But it gets the solution back-asswards because it doesn't understand why the problems exist. Beck, the Tea Party, and many people on ZH think the problem is socialism, when in fact the problem is fascism. The sad thing is that the people who are crying socialism don't know what the word actually means.
It seems like you don't quite get it either, the word is corporatism.
+1... For me it comes down to this, is the population at large better off with or without Beck? Since there is no one getting into the homes of the sheeple and talking about big government and the Fed, I conclude that it is better to have Beck on the air.
The corrupt and toxic monetary system run by the federal reserves is the #1 problem of our lifetimes. It must be solved if we ever expect to live free again. Therefore, we share a common enemy with this awkward t.v. personality and should suffer him..
well said Speaker.
Well stated.
Well said dahling!
Exactly what part of his presentation is douche baggery? I guess that because he is from the Völkischer Beobachter (aka Fox News), what he says must be bullshit.
I'm sure that when tsunami is upon us, fearless Olberman or one of the MSNBC oracles will let us know when to duck.
Douche bag back at you MF'r
Problem is: I know what QE is. Beck did not explain it well. Used partisan politics to do it. Explanation is confusing and the only message that he sent was that it's all the Democrats and unions at fault. Didn't explain that the Feds are not gov't. I'll stop here.
Do go on.Entertainers are the ultimate source for the truth.And beck is SO prescient.
Note well how effective propaganda is...so many adoring beck fans.
It actually makes me sick to see people praise the fatuous ass....when they could actually be learning the truth by reading or research online.But no, they listen to the voices from the lowest circles of hell on the radio or watch TV for hours.
Here's a tip for beck fans: turn the broadcast media off.Free your minds of the sewage you volunteer to eat everyday.The music in this piece for example...such gravitas and sturm und drang!Most impressive.The fawning praise of the great efforts of the voters, and the association of himself with that triumph....see, you need me!Self promoting sewage.And how many normal, average people got into the congress as a result of this latest travesty?As opposed to the valiant millionaire who spent 7 million for his seat.....
Some victory.
But people watch him.and believe him and in him.
It is as if they never heard of Joseph Goebbels....and what he acheived.
so very sad.
A very bitter post. I am sorry you lost your election bet but equating Beck with Goebbels is quite a stretch.
I'll wager you do not get invited to attend any social events.
Look inside bobo... Then worry about the outside.
What part is douche baggery? How about the part where he blames fictional union bosses for our problems rather than Wall Street? He might as well be blaming unicorns, rather than the people who actually want QE and who will benefit from it.
Beck is a douche bag because he brings up an important issue and then points angry people in the exact opposite direction.
Damn, is that Alex Jones?
WIN!

Thank You..Thank you Tyler for showing this . I was about to send this to you before but i had assumed since most on this site bash and disparage Glenn that it would fall on deaf ears.
Glenn Beck has consolidated a base that had a tremendous impact on the elections this past year and should be applauded. The only source you need to refer is that even though he has a massive viewer base his advertising is minimal from corporates because they boycott him and attack him. Keep in mind Glenn I know for a fact has his writers facts checkers view ZH because of the terminology they use. I have personally sent him 3 emails in the past month with ZH references and explicit commentary an explanation of what is occuring. They refernece ZH
I believe Glenn is now turning the scope of the base he posseses to the Fed , globalists and money printing and that it undoubtedly serves only the Elites while they avoid a depression at our benefit. Glenn Beck is an asset and the fact that so many on here disparage him when he goes out of his way to address the issues we all share as concern is disappointing. We need political allies an media allies if there is ever to be hope for an independent news source that rivals the mainstream. He can turn his viewers and finally allow the Snookites to see the matrix is indeed biological and meant to prevent them from understand simplistic economic theory and the procurement if these interests by corporations for their own benefit at our expense.
Bravo Tyler for posting this.
John McCloy
Agreed.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
It is so funny you that phrase because it proves rational minds think alike and it is my favorite phrase and here is anactdote.
My ex was a girl from Boston and I have always been and will
be a Mets fan. So in 2007 when the Sox were in their World
series I decided to take my baby up to the largest Red Sox bar in Manhattan in the Upper East side because I loved her and wanted her to enjoy herself amongst her own. Soo the game that they won the series at the end a sox fan says "
why are you wearing a mets hat and cheering for them? New York lost and the sox played the mets in 86"
Well me...having numerous douchey Yankees fans I grew up
with since elementary school
said simply" The enemy of my enemy is
my friend"
No truer words in all
aspects of life.
"I decided to take my baby up to the largest Red Sox bar in Manhattan in the Upper East side"
Why on earth would you take your girl to a gay bar?
Because he is man enough and she is woman enough not to be confused by punks in pinstripes, even those that are regulars at Beck's place
+1 on Glenn. When did the Yankees move from douchey to New York?
If the enemy of your enemy is your friend, and you are your own worst enemy, are all your friends enemies?
Maybe. I just can't listen to him because he's a giant homo. The dramatic pauses and all that shit.
I give you credit for being able to stomach the drama.
Yeah, he was literally putting on a puppet show in that clip....
and the people will watch the puppet shows and laugh
Granted, GB's a bit dramatic, but your avatar is a picture of a jungle dude in a banana hammock....and call everyone Jane, regardless of gender. Interesting homo remark.
Oooooh, snap!
The avatar is left for you to interpret. Is it what Tarzan said to the young fertile female jungle cat at the moment when the photo was taken? Or did you take it personal? Telling....
Beck is easy to interpret. As are his fanboi's.
What's wrong with a Homo? Keynes was, Bawney Fwank is (and we just reelected him). Not that there's anything wrong with that lifestyle.
Beck is whacked, but, well, that qualifies him as a full-featured member of ZH, dont'cha know.
Demented ways to communicate to people less sophiscated than Tarzan? Guess so. He's getting a message out, including disengaging from the fiat economy (if the individual thinks it is right), food storage (yep, has a sponsor), and well basic survival.
Seems that your jungle environment must have some pretty refined viands, if you are worrying about your stomach being able to withstand Beck's shtick.
gotta wonder why your animosity vs. amusement resides.

WHAT!!???Barney got reelected..again!!!!!???
This means war.I expect the next load of lost nukes are going to the state which must not be named.Just exactly how high is the fluoride level in the water there?
Time for above ground nuclear testing!
Yah, Bawney had to put $200k of "his own money" into the campaign.
ain't flouride. is unions feeding at the trough.
I went to school in Sept '72 in Troy, NY. Came back for Thanksgiviing and, well, there was this sign on a farmer's yard that could be seen from all of the Mass 'Pike traffic that said: "You are now entering a foriegn country."
Go figure. Home of John Adams.

Appalling.I grew up in NY...I had to flee the insanity and rapacious greed of the politicians....so I voted with my feet.
'cha--kinda' working that idea. - Ned
I have to admit that I had to look up; viands. I didn't know it Ned. You got me Ned, you got me. You're good.

I love finding a new word. Thanks Ned.
a couple weeks ago i might have agreed, but do you think glenn would ever listen to anything we have to say if the chamber of commerce disagrees? would glenn ever tell us that this election is a sham and the new congress is owned by the same people that owned last congress? i agree that glenn doesn't just swallow msm reports hook line and sinker, but no one will solve anything till the most important political relationship is between elected representatives and their constituents, not donors. as much as i've tried, he won't go for a Campaign Finance Amendment. until that happens, all solutions will be created by congress' owners. and elections haven't changed that in 60 years or more depending on who you ask.
Listen I get what you are saying. I partially agree I am
biase because i think highly
of us and believe we understand the curve ling before most. That us out vanity for thinking we a smarter than most and more perceptive. Evidently there is a reason ZH sees crap ad spending and MSM attention but that is both the content and message. The Snookites need to Lear. Slowly and i am thrilled with Beck bringing it to their attention. They are robbing us and the main fortress is that the middle
class has no conception if either these economic
terms or ramifications. I won't bash a man for telling them. Especialy if my opinion is unknowingly
influeneced by the main stream
attackers.
I think that all the junking going on in this blog is from wall street types who are blind to the truth and are stock gamblers
You mean there is another way?
Agree - this is the fundamental problem. It's easy to fix too. The population needs to wake up and cast its eyes upstream.
GB has his good points and I agree that he can help on this front. It's his unconditional support for Israel and the promoting of wars and military spending.. His bread is getting buttered, even if it's not the same ones buttering Krugman's..
Not trying to pic a fight with you McCloy because I normally agree with you, but there are two sides to the GB coin..
This country could go down in other ways besides a monetary collapse. Our trillion dollar defense budget (what's admitted) and the need to justify it could be our undoing as well..
True and agree. But look where Beck was three years ago. The dude learns and changes. He used to call Ron Paul followers terrorists, and has since publicy apologized and said you were right all along...wish i had a link for ya, distinctly remember watching it tho.
And like RP put it "it doesnt matter if you agree with me or not, were going to pull out of these wars and countries eventually anyway. either we choose to now, or have to when we cant afford it anymore..."
Unfortunately, when we could no longer afford wars, we may not afford to do without a war, if you know what I mean.
Leave it to the elite and that's what they will do WWIII.
Lew Rockwell had an interesting post today, Max. It seems it may have some bearing on our Glen dilemma:
http://www.lewrockwell.com/rothbard/rothbard244.html
I have similar misgivings on Glen, but...
Thanks for the link.. I will check that out..
outstanding article...thanks.
"Within any radical ideological movement for social change there are bound to develop two broad and important "deviations" from the correct, centrist, movement-building position we have been discussing. At one pole is the deviation of "left-sectarianism" and at the other the deviation of "right-opportunism." Each, in its own way, abandons the hope of victory for the radical goal."
it might surprise some folks here how he defines 'left' & 'right' as they may see themselves in a different direction than what they perceive themselves to be.
He has talked recently about how the wars are a "lost cause" (my words) lately. And he has also said that the DOD's budget needs to be cut dramatically. Just sayin
I concur.
Glenn does more good than harm.
Of course, he's no John Stossel or Andrew Napolitano, but he's better than 99.9% of the other douche bags.
I agree. Glenn gets important information out to the masses in a way we non financial people understand. He is helping fight this fight. I have no problem with Glenn other than the Goldline sponsorship.
Allow the snookies to see the matrix.......that is the quote of the week!
plus 1000%...He is on it and I have now heard Rush start to talk about it...he even mentioned zero hedge.....this is about to go mainstream and the soon to be made vote to raise the debt ceiling could be interesting.
I'm a big Limbaugh fan myself, but he is still part of the problem. He had a caller yesterday talking about taking money out of the banks, but he basically dismissed him. He wasn't trying to stop the caller from saying it, just said that "a bank run isn't going to solve anything". Which of course I (and most ZH'ers) disagree with.
The paper-wealth crowd has way to much at stake, you're never going to see mainstream media people advocate any sort of action like a bank run, that talk will continue to be confined to the Internet.
As for Beck, he to is part of the problem from the Religious angel, he's all about God, which annoys me, but at least he doesn't make shit up. He's been on the Fed's case for a while now and his conclusions are spot on.
We shouldn't dismiss the messenger, just becuase we don't agree with the whole message. Accept those parts you agree with and know why you disagree with others. Beck and Limbaugh have their place in the matrix, though they don't aim to completely destroy it, cause their wealth depends on keeping the game going, I do think they are trying to change things towards more freedom, transparency, truth, and honesty.
Ditto! I couldn't have said it better. I watch Glenn Beck every day, including this program this afternoon. A few weeks ago, I also sent an email to Glenn's staff and referenced numerous links on ZH regarding the Fed and quantitative easing. Soon after that, I noticed that they covered some material from this site and gave mention to ZH.
It is beyond me how some people here can show such derision for a man that is, for the most part, fighting the same battle we are. His audience is made up of people from many backgrounds, many/most of which don't have the sophistication in finance that many of us who read ZH do. Few of them watch CNBC, Bloomberg, or Fox Business. He must tailor his presentation to this broad swath of people. He is striving to prepare a message that can be understood by people who don't work in finance, and he must present it to them in a simple but accurate way within the time limits of a daily program. He does remarkably well at it.To mock and ridicule him because the presentation isn't as sophisticated as those of us who have MBA's would expect in a board room, is petty and elitist! It says something about US, not HIM!
He has said many times on his program that he consults numerous people with in-depth knowledge on Wall Street, including several billionaires and academics, who form a circle of advisers and consultants to him. I have no doubt that they assist him in preparing and presenting those messages in a way that has broad appeal. Some of these people occasionally appear on the program.
I have a sense that those who, without regularly viewing his program, reflexively mock and deride him, are revealing more about themselves in that derision, than they are about Glenn Beck! The people who attack him relentlessly from progressive sites always do so in very personal ways, calling him names, mocking, etc. because they can't disprove the information he presents. Thus, they resort to ridicule! I've noticed a few who have done that here, too! A few even flagged John McCloy's post not because he has been offensive to anyone, but solely because they don't like the message. That's not only unprofessional, but it's also intellectually dishonest. But this only exposes who THEY are, not who Glenn Beck is! This only colors their own lack of character, not Glenn's.
Anyone who values their freedom should be watching Glenn Beck every day. Next week, on Nov 9th, he will begin an expose on George Soros and the research that his staff has found on Soros over the past several months. Nothing he presents will be without verified and unquestionable documentation! He has very high standards because he is exposing the plans of some of the world's darkest characters. Some of them have even threatened his life!
SBENARD......well said. will be nice to see the light shine on these den of vipers called bankers. i do fell that Glenn Beck sometimes holds back for fear of what Fox will say if he goes to far on some of his messages. as for Soros, many years ago i saw i believe it was a show by 60 minutes on Soros. by the end i felt that the "dark side" had completely taken the man over. what with his up bringing during world war two in hungary. how his jewish parents turned him over to "christian" family friends. and the good christian man of house being a good nazi took the young soros around on his errands to extract payments from whomever or what ever the nazi felt like taking. just another mind warped beyond repair. sad, all that hate and suffering.
I went to a Bold & Fresh tour date in Tampa with GB and Bill O'R earlier this year. I didn't know what to expect, thinking it was going to be a bit hokey. Call me impressionable, but GB is one HELL of a speaker, had the Sun Dome rocking...he's nothing like on his show. I like the fact the Prez singles him out and he says, bring it, biatch (call me on the red phone, anytime). Eff this go along to get along crap; GB's got stones.
Netflix lists him as a "standup comedian".
Glenn Beck
"I watch Glenn Beck every day..."
I stopped reading after this.
Anyone who isn't bright enough to figure out at this late stage that the corporate media companies are on the side of the establishment, and should be considered mortal enemies, is probably uneducable.
Assuming you aren't Glenn Beck or one of his staff, the best thing you could possibly do for yourself is throw your television in the garbage. It's a medium designed, literally, for slack-jawed people with the mentality of children; hence the flashing lights, laugh tracks, mood music, stage props, clowns in makeup, jingoistic symbology, and various other low brow gimmicks.
Really? Your way or ... what? GTFOH
"I stopped reading after this."
I bet you did too.
I don't agree with everything he says - or the poster said - but that intellectual arrogance will kill you. You are really not that smart. Nobody is. Don't come here if you won't read people who don't agree hook line and sinker with whatever you think.
It has nothing to do with reading or not reading those who disagree with me. Nice straw man.
If someone takes the nonsense on television seriously, and sees the corporate media as their ally, that's really all I need to know about them. Life is short after all, and the exceptions only prove the rule.
Thanks for your concern.
...And, and some people are just plain assholes, through and through and it does not matter what you say!
bingo.
they've been well conditioned to miss the message for the messenger. and all of their intellectual friends pat them on the back approvingly.
silly me, i once hated micheal jackson and elton john for character reasons. but now realize that in spite of their various traits/choices, their music will live far longer than i. i'm glad i figured out how it *really* works out there in the silly herd of humans.
i think the categoric critics we're seeing in here, are likely the very folks GB implicitly warns us about.
and they know it.
+1/0
Amen brother. Provincialism and small mindedness will get us nowhere. If the only people that are allowed to care about what is going on are the educated elite then we are so fucked. Glenn is able to communicate to a broad audience and we need every damn one of them to understand what is going on.
It has all been said:
http://www.zerohedge.com/article/guest-post-fuzzy-logic-useful-idiotsTHAT was a phreaking awesome article. Using it in class tomorrow.
...and Glenn Beck is the epitome of the useful idiot.
He has taken a vital topic like QE and tried to bastardize it with partisan politics.
Dangerous and provocative.
you assume folks are too dumb to filter the clearly partisan wrappers out there? i can filter the noise, and i imagine you can... can't they?
even if not, would you rather there be no mention of the FED/deficit/debt, etc. made at all because it's not pure enough?
i'm simply glad Glen Beck is putting it out there for discussion.
kinda like GeoWashington's blog and the oil in the gulf. often irritating and hugely biased, but valuable all the same.
i don't hear Mr. Gibbs and company giving the topic much air time these days, and they certainly have the microphone to do so.
No. I am constantly amazed at the ignorance of Beck followers I talk to. Whatever he says, no matter how un-truthful it may be, they gobble up hook line and sinker.
Like you, I can pick it out, but after this clown (his words) has lied so many times, how can I take anything he says seriously?
Useful idiot with an agenda.
eh, maybe it's my circle, but there are a lot of folks that can filter out the signal from the noise with GB, Rush, Hannity, etc., and still find the ideological concepts that drive their own beliefs. these guys help articulate what we know in our guts (genetic, or otherwise, it's there, and we walk our talk).
sure there are GB/RL/SH dogmatics that scare me as much as they scare you. same with obama followers. we all know that these kinds of sheeple are how hitler rose to power. this isn't left/right, this is political/religious dogma. we should all be afraid.
"one idiot does not a population make", but i go to any big-box store and wonder how humans have made it this far. hell, i regularly wonder how i've made it this far...
but anyone who denies GB has an agenda is being disingenuous.
and, the current administration, by definition, has an agenda.
but, i don't agree with much of it at all. i think they are very very wrong about many things, and we cannot afford their experiment.
so 51% of the country says jump off a cliff, so the other 49% (GB, et. al.) passively go along for the jump because we are "the minority" this year?
i think not. nor do i expect the inverse (as a "mostly libertarian", i don't ever expect to ever have that "majority" problem to deal with :^)
if we followed the founding principals, there wouldn't be a problem, because i wouldn't be *able* to impose my will on others, and i wouldn't have to worry about their similar impositions on me. i have no interest in 'fixing' anyone. must i stand for their 'fixing' me? why?
BTW, the lying accusation is pretty meaningless without citation. GB - inaccurate at times, exaggerated and clearly one-sided... but... i don't see the man as a liar.
and, because he's *never* acted as if he doesn't have an agenda, i believe what you see is what you get. that's all *i* ask of anyone - left, right, or center
and again, i don't agree with everything he (or most anyone) says. trying to dump the dogma and think. it's hard these days.

Everybody is referencing ZH these days. Agreed about Glenn, Faux News and even the Tea Party. These are times when anybody showing passion against the status quo is an asset, imo. Regardless of what I would think of them otherwise.
I hear Alex Jones reference Zero Hedge atleast once a week.
