Alex Jones has addressed Glenn Beck in the form of an open letter, appealing to him to “be on the right side of history” by using his growing public platform to tell the truth rather than exploiting it to deceive grass-roots conservatives and libertarians into following a re-birth of the neo-con agenda that Beck has embraced all along.
——————————————
Glenn Beck,
It is important to preface this letter by highlighting the fact that I do not attack people lightly and have defended you in the past when Van Jones was calling for you to be fired. I fully support your right to free speech.
It cannot be denied that you – Glenn Beck – are an extremely talented radio and television host and you have a magnetism and a proficiency of public speaking that draws people in and maintains their interest. However, being a novice history buff I am also painfully aware of the fact that Benedict Arnold was, like you, a talented individual – he was also a traitor.
History is what matters and being on the right side of history is what’s important when it comes to the legacy we leave on this planet. You don’t want people to look back on you as a Benedict Arnold, as a traitor to America. You don’t want people to look back on you as a media whore, as playing the role of being loyal opposition to sucker legitimate and growing grass roots opposition to the new world order.
Your agenda is to put out a dual message – to discredit and polarize the conservative movement to the benefit of the establishment left and the elite. Your bizarre and clownish antics of fake crying, which you proved were staged when you replicated them on demand for a GQ photo shoot, are doing nothing but reinforcing the stereotype that the conservative right is insane.
Your entire 9/12 project has nothing to do with uniting America and everything to do with reinforcing neo-conservative rhetoric about how we should relinquish our rights and accept the police state because terrorists want to attack us and Saddam Hussein has WMD’s and yellowcake.
As the video below illustrates, despite the fact that you claim to be “a Libertarian at heart,” you have 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.
During your Monday September 22 2008 TV broadcast, you expressed your vehement support for the bailout, stating, “The $700 billion dollars that you’re hearing about now is not only I believe necessary, it is also not nearly enough.” However, as soon as Bush left office and Obama picked up the baton and continued the same financial policy, you changed your tune and routinely attacked the bailout as an example of how socialism was taking over America.
The bailout was bad news for America under Bush just as it is under Obama, both were merely performing a transfer of wealth from America to offshore banks and giving the Federal Reserve total dictatorial control over the economy, but you only opposed it when Bush was out of office, proving that your opinions are not wedded to right or wrong, but to which puppet is in the White House.
A host of mainline conservative talking heads opposed the banker bailout, as did the majority of the American people, but you went on television and publicly supported it. This is irreconcilable with you being “a libertarian at heart” as you claim.
In addition, you aggressively attacked Ron Paul and his supporters during the election campaign when it looked like the Texan Congressman might have a real chance of winning the nomination. You implied that Ron Paul supporters were domestic terrorists and should be dealt with by the U.S. Army, but later tried to side with Ron Paul supporters when the infamous and discredited MIAC report echoed your own talking point that people who support Ron Paul were dangerous.
The smear came during a November 2007 show when you were still hosting on CNN. Yourself and ex-Marxist David Horowitz smeared Ron Paul supporters, libertarians and the anti-war left as terrorist sympathizers and inferred that the U.S. military should be used to silence them, parroting a talking point that traces back to a September 2006 White House directive. When asked about the issue, Ron Paul dismissed you as “pretty discourteous” and a “demagogue”.
(ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW)
You Glenn Beck have acted as a cheerleader for the wars of aggression launched since 9/11 and in addition called for Iran to be attacked, claiming that President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is preparing a “second holocaust.” Once again, these political opinions stand completely contrary to libertarian principles, which follow the founding fathers’ view that an expansionist aggressive foreign policy is bad for America.
You have attacked Obama for unraveling the Bush war machine to give you left cover, when in fact Obama has done everything in his power to expand Bush’s wars, beefing the campaigns in Afghanistan and Pakistan while removing a token amount of troops from Iraq and replacing them with an even greater number of contractors.
By attacking Obama for being different to Bush, when in reality he offers not change whatsoever, you keep people locked in the left-right paradigm and ensure that instead of coming to the realization that the whole system is rigged, they will merely vote in another puppet for the new world order in 2012.
Glenn Beck – you are controlled opposition, you are there to co-opt and ensure the Tea Parties are under control and that they never focus on taking on the real power behind the American economy – the Federal Reserve.
Bearing in mind that you almost died not too long ago, wouldn’t you rather come to the end of your life, whether that be in one year or 30 years from now, knowing that you stood up for true liberty and freedom? Isn’t that more valuable than your $50 million dollars a year contract? When I was approached ten years ago and offered large sums of money every year to sell out and become what you are today – the new Rush Limbaugh – while accepting tight controls on what I could and could not discuss – I said no and I thank God every day that I made the right decision.
I appeal to you directly Glenn – think twice about what you are doing, think twice about what you are a part of right now. Try to do what you can to redeem yourself and don’t be a Benedict Arnold, don’t be a traitor that takes legions of good-natured but hoodwinked people down the rat hole with you as America collapses because those who had voices and platforms used them to deceive and distract rather than tell the truth.
Alex Jones
Watch Alex Jones’ video address to Glenn Beck which was made during his radio show yesterday.
I agree with much of what Jones says but I reject the way he says it. Way too bitter and accusatory.
Jones is probably trying to remain relevant in the wake of the gathering Beck media juggernaut. Beck is becoming or has already become the kind of journalist Jones has always wanted to be, more than anything. Jones is jealous of Beck's success. I can see why. Beck is very talented, sometimes a little corny but he really hammers his points home.
I think Beck was much more a neocon mouthpiece in the past, especially when he still worked at CNN. I loathed his attacks on Ron Paul yet I did see Beck bring on on of the Faux business analysts and give a really outstanding (somewhat simplistic) presentation on the Fed and how they're buying their own debt as a shell game. I can't imagine what more us RP fans would want. He is reaching millions with a message that we've had all along.
Glenn Beck is still changing, pushing the envelope. Especially on the Right. He's a creative guy, better on TV than Rush ever was. He has a way of communicating emotional content in a very pointed way without being offensive. He pulls it off and that is hard to do. Being that critical without making yourself hated is no simple trick.
I have to admire his work even if I don't like Beck much personally.
I used to listen to the Derry Brownfield show late at night, and quite often I would hear an hour or more of Alex Jones while waiting for Derry. I haven't listened to Alex Jones for over five years now. He had some good points but it was frequently buried in a lot of nuttiness (people that stand in the street with a bullhorn yelling "we are not your slave" tend to lose credibility and don't tend to accomplish much other than rallying like minds).
Glenn Beck is scoring some good points right now but quite honestly, I don't have much faith that he is going to finish what he has started. I don't think he is stable and tends to go off on goofy tangents. I'm afraid too many people are following him like he is some kind of messiah. I am really afraid that at some point, he's going to go off his nut and discredit everything he has accomplished to that point.
I would think AJs open letter found it's way into Beck's circular file immediately upon receipt, so the point of it is what?
Jones trying to keep some sheep in his herd. I think some of them are going over to Beck, at least in some markets.
I find Jones' claim farfetched that he was offered the big bucks and a big media presence but that he refused to sell out. Of course, he offers no proof for any of this happening.

I think he was going a bit far a while back, at least for a traditionalist conservative audience.
I happened to watch his show today and I couldn't help but admire how he handled Carter's accusations of racism and the ACORN stuff. Beck is on a roll and he's moving the goalposts of what you can say on TV in America. He directly confronts political correctness and does it pretty flawlessly.
He really has a great talent for this and he's obviously been working hard on his message and his presentation skills. He has some acting talent as well.
Yes, the movement was in the street Saturday and not huddled on the sofa listening to rebroadcasts of his shows. And that movement wasn't about Republican politics. It was about the corruption in both parties. There will be no chance of restoring America without first removing the tumor, and kudos to whoever gets that done.

I totally agree. The educational process is best done one on one as part of a movement. Lets enter this thing and then take it over from within before the politicians put their imprint on it. AJ needs to blow the bugle when we learn of the next one, and then we have to show up in numbers. Either we become part of it or watch history from the sidelines.
I agree with all that. I've been watching Beck on TV but I only started to listen to him on the radio yesterday. He has a better radio program by far than either Jones or Limbaugh.
It is Beck's presentation of the Acorn films that is finally giving that organization the exposure it deserves. He has done more than anyone else to push back the tyranny of political correctness. I'm just concerned that because he puts a lot of his own emotionalism into the program, at some point he may discredit himself in such a way that he takes the whole effort down with him.
The U.S. Govt is a tyrannical butcher; U.S. taxpayers are accomplices to international murder and mayhem. If you satisfy your fears by bowing to this butcher, you forfeit your humanity and possibly your soul.
I think Beck could do a real job on LaRaza. I really have to wonder if he'd take on the defense industries or AIPAC and the foreign aid establishment or really start to expose the sheer corruption of our puppet governments in Af-Pak or Iraq.
Given a comatose GOP and a generally cowardly Faux News, Beck has almost singlehandedly revived the GOP corpse. And I hate to admit because I don't like him that much. Still, you have to give credit where it's due. The Lefties are going absolutely insane over Beck because they recognize him as a threat and they haven't been able to touch him yet. Beck's show has provided the material and the talking points and the angles they use on the rest of the Faux programs.

Beck got this ACORN stuff from Breitbart.tv owner Scott Baker. Beck was plenty popular before that but this ACORN thing has been a goldmine.
In my opinion Beck could learn a lot about the way things really work from Alex Jones. And Alex could learn diplomacy and tact from Beck.

Count on it.
His appearance on the national scene coincided with another psyop, 9/11. Prior to that he had an afternoon slot (following Rush) on WFLA 970 AM in Tampa.
My impressions of him at the time were that he was (is) a weak, sniveling bitch. He cried on the air numerous times. And I lost count of how often he "opened up about" his serious cocaine problems earlier in his DJ career.
He was "chosen" to become another false messiah. The timing was precise. He carries himself now with the false bravado that comes from being backed by the financial elite. His function is to mislead and shepherd the flock back into the pen.
Anyone who places their faith in this phony will be disappointed and further disillusioned.
