Oh Yeaaaaaah,

It may have been too little too late, Glenn, but at least you had Ron Paul on. I want to express my thanks. I don't have cable TV but I heard the interview replayed on the internet. I am also a regular listener to your radio program, as I drive a tractor and have ample opportunity to listen to the entirety of your program every day. (And do so unless the tractor breaks down.)

Your mention last evening of the 1907 monetary crisis was precisely on point. The same burglars that concocted that crisis were put in charge of solving it. (This is the Hegelian Dialectic). A problem is created to cause a reaction that will demand a solution. The same parties are yet in control of our monetary policy today. The exact same scenario is being contrived again by the same people ... they simply wait until their past deeds have been forgotten and then contrive the problem in order to be begged to solve it. This keeps the beggars begging and the bankers ruling. [See Thomas Jefferson on private central banks].

Problem, Reaction, Solution. Announcing an increased Federal Reserve authority to "regulate" monetary conditions is tantamount to giving the henhouse to the FOX.

Eustace Mullins is an elderly man (83 now and frail) that has written numerous books related to a number of critical subjects. He was trained up by Ezra Pound. Google him, and read his books regarding the Federal Reserve System. He has certainly paid a high price for his patriotism.

Another author that has written extensively about this subject is G. Edward Griffin. He wrote "The Creature From Jekyll Island"

You should invite Edwin Vieira, a Harvard trained Lawyer with 4 other degrees to guest on Headline News or your Radio program. He is also an author and has written numerous books related to Constitutional applications and principles. He is articulate and knowledgeable on a number of subjects, especially monetary policy. He wrote "PIECES OF EIGHT" about sound money.

Glenn, our country is being looted right before our eyes. Pension funds are being stolen or depreciated, the Stock Market actual value is about 5700 (not 12,500) as the numbers are all inflated, 401 K Plans exhausted or hollowed out, Social Security is bankrupt, and there's a revolving door in D.C. that spins these thieves between Banks (Goldman-Sachs) and government. (Foxes own the henhouse). The education system is loaded with these thieves as well, see Robert Gates.

Recently it was announced that the IMF might dump 400 tonnes of gold onto the market. The IMF began when a number of countries deposited gold with the IMF in order to secure their currencies on the international level. Now the IMF owns the gold and has simply exchanged paper promises in order to obtain it. Notes, promises to pay, that are never PAID. The banks are changing our nations real wealth into worthless paper. These people are internationalists without any allegiance to anything other than power and control. [The things I'm mentioning here are exactly why they wish to do away with home-schooling].

Glenn, recently your popularity has rocketed to the moon. Your book almost immedietely went to number one on the New York Times best seller list. You cannot be ignored. Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country.

You can go to www.infowars.com and hear Alex Jones' 24/7 looping replay of his daily program. Once one gets past his obnoxious interruptions of guests and callers it becomes obvious that he has done his homework. He has instant recall / photographic memory and can speak intelligently on any subject-issue that confronts us and our freedom. (His guest today was: Alex welcomes physicist Walter L. Wagner to talk about the dangers of the Large Hadron Collider . Jones was able to have a very intelligent dialogue with this man related to a subject that was far afield from the normal discourse, but important.) See Alex Jones' latest DVD "ENDGAME".

You mentioned that you weren't a conspiracy nut while interviewing Ron Paul. Right !!! Me either, 25 years ago, that is. [Personally I think you're full of shit in this regard. And if enough evidence is available to prove a conspiracy theory it becomes a conspiracy FACT !

Let me conclude by making this very serious point. Our ancestors may not have freed us as completely as we've been taught, but they did provide us with the ability to be free should we be willing to apply the discipline and vigilance necessary. These ancestors of ours were led by a very small group of well healed and learned men with the werewithal to unite others less fortunate but earnestly seeking the freedom to achieve success through honest hard work. Today, both the country and you are in a similar position. The nation is being destroyed by the same forces that have destroyed every society since Babylon, and like it or not the duty to restrain these forces falls to the very few good men that are willing to accept responsibility that comes with their station in life. [Read Jeremiah 5 to see that one good man can unite the necessary support to demand reasonable treatment ... Jeremiah demanded that the authorities return their wealth immediately.]

The Banks (international banking cabal) and their Fiat/Debt based currency brought us the depressions and subsequent wars. Our Constitution has never been amended to accept this fraudulent monetary policy. The Federal Reserve was created by thieves in the middle of the night, and is the most dangerous enemy of freedom. The creation of the FED required the passage of the Income Tax Act (another fraud). These two "laws" are destroying our families while they rob us of our production capabilities. Looking back on NAFTA and GATT now, it appears to me that this was intended to prevent America from rebounding after this planned/contrived financial collapse. Can we compare 9-11 building collapses and the institution of "HOMELAND SECURITY" with a financial collapse and the institution of "FINANCIAL SECURITY" ??? You bet your ass we can. It's another case of create the PROBLEM, causing a REACTION, that demands "their" SOLUTION.

I'll bet some of the framers were hesitant to put it all on the line back in the day. I suppose they gave a good deal of thought to the ramifications of their future acts, ultimately determining that there really wasn't a choice. Freedom or Feudalism, that is our future just like it was theirs had they not determined to alter the outcome.

Again, thanks for a fair interview with Dr. Paul. I know I've written derogatory remarks towards you in previous e-mails that I have no idea whether you actually get them or read them. My intent is to enlist someone with the requisite love for freedom, decency and intestinal fortitude to utilize their popular support for the purpose of preventing Americas destruction. You can be that someone ... will you, please ?

I have written much to Mr. Beck in the hope that he, like myself at one time, is waking up to the gargantuan spider web of fasci-communism being woven in America. We all don't wake up at the same time, and we must admit that we have to recruit others with more notoriety than ourselves. I hope I'm doing the right thing.

Dead on letter. Beck is brighter than the other clods on mainstream radio and his intellectual curiosity seems to be driving him into areas of discussion that are relevant, given the times.

Beck has bonded with his audience, and like you mentioned, appears to be a little brighter and less fearful of approaching issues that should be obvious to others in his field ... but aren't EVER addressed by them.

I hear them all ... he's the closest to getting it on MSM (Radio) that I get here in the Panhandle of Texas.

I personally find it ironic that nearly all people are willing to put their faith (full faith and credit) in a currency system existing only on paper (or in a computer) and in their minds, believing it to be reality, while refusing to look at the universe that surrounds them which operates precisely according to the LAWS of nature, prefering to consider it the result of an accident.

America is going to be severely punished if it does not cease its adventurism overseas. We are already subjecting ourselves to Soviet-style government authority. The point of no return may have already been reached.

The punishment need not even come from others. Our fear is self-imposed, as we continue to associate ourselves with Israel's foreign policies, our fear builds and builds. It is a warrantless fear in many ways, but the fear feeds on itself. American instinct works to convince the people that they must protect themselves in more and more draconian ways. Israel is prepared to step up and provide us with the techniques and methods for turning our once free society into a police state.

Lies are used now as enablers of our downfall. We are expected to believe our most senior financial ministers (Bernanke, Paulson). We are expected to believe our newsmedia. We are expected to believe our military spokesmen, although like Admiral Fallon, they are fired when they tell the truth.

Through lies, we are being made into the instruments of our own destruction. We all were raised to understand that Soviet, German, Japanese, and Italian peoples received severe punishment, even nuclear destruction, for permitting their leaders to misguide and beguile the people into tolerating tyranny.

We will be no different.

The same elements inside our government pushing those fear buttons are, strangely enough not only the same individuals who have profited politically from 911 and WOT in general, but they are also connected intimately with defense contractors AND Likud? And PNAC, AEI, JINSA...

Coincidence after coincidence, what's a poor goy to think?

The first time I'd ever consider Glenn Beck was when he called me, a Ron Paul supporter, a terrorist. I've not considered him since. Not since I boo-ed him at RP meetup last fall, when he was doing his book tour.

Haven't even thought about him until this thread, but my only impression of him is he works on CNN and refuses to link out of control spending to occupying Iraq.

Double Tap

In response to the news blurb about the Marine who put two rounds ("double tap") in a wounded insurgent's head in Fallujah, here's a response from a Marine:

"It's a safety issue, pure and simple. After assaulting through a target, we put a security round in everybody's head. Sorry al- Reuters , there's no paddy wagon rolling around Fallujah picking up "prisoners" and offering them a hot cup a Joe, falafel, and a blanket. There's no time to dick around on the target. You clear the space, dump the chumps, and move on.

Are Corpsman expected to treat wounded terrorists? Negative. Hey libs, worried about the defense budget? Well, it would be a waste, fraud, and abuse for a Corpsman to expend one man-minute or a battle dressing on a terrorist. Its much cheaper to just spend the $.02 on a 5.56mm FMJ.

By the way, in our view, terrorists who chop off civilian's heads are not prisoners they are carcasses. Chopping off a civilian's head is another reason why these idiots are known as "unlawful combatants." It seems that most of the world's journalists have forgotten that fact.

Let me be very clear about this issue. I have looked around the web, and many people get this concept, but there are some stragglers.

Here is your typical Marine sitrep (situation report): You just took fire from unlawful combatants (no uniform - breaking every Geneva Convention rule there is) shooting from a religious building attempting to use the sanctuary status of their position as protection. But you're in Fallujah now, and the Marine Corps has decided that they're not playing that game this time. That was Najaf. So you set the mosque on fire and you hose down the terrorists with small arms, launch some AT-4s (Rockets), some 40MM grenades into the building and things quiet down.

So you run over there, and find some tangos (bad guys) wounded and pretending to be dead. You are aware that suicide martyrdom is like really popular with these idiots, and they think taking some Marines with them would be really cool. So you can either risk your life and your fire team's lives by having them cover you while you bend down and search a guy that you think is pretending to be dead for some reason. Most of the time these are the guys with the grenade or vest made of explosives. Also, you don't know who or what is in the next room.

You're already speaking English to the rest of your fire team or squad which lets the terrorist know you are there and you are his enemy. You are speaking loud because your hearing is poor from shooting people for several days. So you know that there are many other rooms to enter, and that if anyone is still alive in those rooms, they know that Americans are in the mosque. Meanwhile (3 seconds later), you still have this terrorist (that was just shooting at you from a mosque) playing possum. What do you do? You double tap his head, and you go to the next room, that's what!

What about the Geneva Convention and all that Law of Land Warfare stuff? What about it? Without even addressing the issues at hand, your first thought should be, "I'd rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6."

Bear in mind that this tactic of double tapping a fallen terrorist is a perpetual mindset that is reinforced by experience on a minute-by-minute basis. Secondly, you are fighting an unlawful combatant in a Sanctuary, which is a double No-No on his part. Third, tactically you are in no position to "take prisoners" because there are more rooms to search and clear, and the behavior of said terrorist indicates that he is up to no good. No good in Fallujah is a very large place and the low end of no good and the high end of no good are fundamentally the same. Marines end up getting hurt or die. So there is no compelling reason for you to do anything but double tap this idiot and get on with the mission.

If you are a veteran, then everything I have just written is self-evident. If you are not a veteran, then at least try to put yourself in the situation. Remember, in Fallujah there is no yesterday, there is no tomorrow, there is only now. Right NOW. Have you ever lived in the NOW for a week? It is really, really not easy. If you have never lived in NOW for longer than it takes to finish the big roller coaster at Six Flags, then shut your hole about putting Marines in jail for "War Crimes"."

Froggy OUT

Those who live by the sword are shot by those who don't.

The above is an e-mail that the local DA forwarded to me today. I became livid.

This is my e-mail response. Am I crazy or what ?

Kent,

This soldiers view has eliminated the sanctity of life itself. I agree war is hell, and one must fight it to win once engaged. However, there are atrocities happening that violate American values in war time. Torture, and the torture of children in front of their parents to secure information violates the standards Americans live by. Torturing prisoners of war violates American values and the Geneva Convention. Once we slide down the slippery slope of tyranny it will be impossible to differentiate between us and them. That sucks.

***"Here is your typical Marine sitrep (situation report): You just took fire from unlawful combatants (no uniform - breaking every Geneva Convention rule there is)"*** (Quote from his e-mail)

The above will be applied when the authorities turn on us. We will be without uniforms and considered "terrorists" by kids educated in our schools and our military.

This also sucks.

My view on this war is that the President and his lackies lied to us at every turn to get us involved in it. They are scum and deserve to be arrested, tried and hanged for treason against the people of the United States of America. After the WMD bullshit didn't pan out they told us it was still good to get Saddam ... They put him there.

I expatriated from the federal U.S. ... because I love FREEDOM and hate tyranny. Acceptance of this kind of crap won't make it better. The Germans did it for Hitler and now I see Americans doing it for Bush.

Beck is a tough read. He rails against the NAU, the Monetary shakedown, he's for home schooling, self-reliance, taking individual responsibility, etc., and yes he's one that bows before the State of Israeli god, and he's a mormon.

He has decisions to make related to his 50 million dollar CNN sign up bonus and truth. That's a tough one that I see people with much less to lose refusing to make.

Anyway, it doesn't hurt to try to explain things from a different perspective. I used to think Israel was the "Chosen Peoples" Land ... didn't you ?

Last Sunday I decided I'd been cooped up in the house too long and decided to take a Sunday Drive. I live in Indianapolis but in the course of my daily drive to work pass nothing older than myself, except the people.

Anyway, I was in a "I live in a huge city and know almost nothing about it" mood, so took to touring. It turns out I have seen most of sights the city has to offer, but I'm still having trouble reconciling that knowledge with memories from earlier trips through some of these same neighborhoods.

...to finish my story, I ended up driving down one of the secondary roads right off Meridian, which runs about two miles. Beautiful homes, very late Victorian though early Art Deco. Just gorgeous, even the barren trees were pretty.

Take one wrong turn though, (and at least three blocks, to be fair) and you're in Naptown, a city that has let the porch go since about 1919, it comes as quite a shock.

I grew up in Indianapolis. I lived on the Near-East Side at 10th and Olney St., near Sherman and 10th. As a kid it was a blue collar neighborhood where everyone knew each other, didn't have to lock the doors, kept their yards mowed and shared back yards for gardening projects. I lived there until I was 27 when I could no longer stand the humidity or the neighborhood.

The rest of my family stayed there and I still have a sister and a brother that live in the suburbs. I have gone back there 3 times since I left for funerals. Each time I went back the shithole had gotten worse. My old neighborhood looks like a bombed out war zone.

The City of Indianapolis kicked all of the blacks living in downtown slum apartments out of the downtown area so they could build the Sports Arena (since torn down I think) and the City County Building. They funded the blacks move into my old neighborhood through an organization known as NESCO. Soon the blacks were robbing, raping and living like niggers in that neighborhood like they had in their former one downtown.

Lots of people fled to the suburbs, but not my dad. He owned a number of houses in the neighborhood. I inherited a house that had been sold on contract some 17 years prior to my inheriting it. Over time the original purchaser had married and moved, had let her mom live there for awhile, and then rented it out. Things got so bad in the neighborhood that the people renting the house were wearing a gun on their hip whenever they were home as they had been held up at gun point twice. The hookers and crack-heads have completely taken over the neighborhood. The Taxes have tripled because someone has to pay for the destruction that's been done by these subhuman animals.

I went back there to care for my dad for about a year after he had experienced a stroke. In the last week that I was there a neighbor couple 2 doors down had their heads blown off in the basement at about 2:00 AM by some crack-heads, and one of my dad's renters was robbed in his house in broad daylight.

Nappy Town is what it should be called. The blacks have destroyed what was once a decent place to live. What was once an RCA Factory now houses about 300 "CITY of INDIANAPOLIS" COMPLIANCE OFFICERS that go around measuring the heighth of peoples grass, looking for junk cars in the back yards or any that aren't plated etc., ... it's a jungle.

One can trace the historical racial divide in this city by the number of concrete steps leading to empty lots. And we were even spared the 1960's riots, buildings just started falling down from neglect. That's how it looked from the back of a sweeper sales van to me, twenty five years ago anyway. I recognize most of the neighborhoods I remember from those days, but I think a few of them got knocked down since then, there aren't any horrific looking slums along any of the interstates anymore. By the way, I'm from Kokomo and only moved to Indy in 1987, half my life now, but I still feel like guy from Kokomo that moved here to get better job, you know? That's what driving down Washington Place was all about, trying to find something I could identify with. Not that I could afford to even pay the heating bill for houses like that. Once upon a time, human beings used better tools then they have today and built beautiful objects. It pisses me off when I see new homes with ugly dimensions, there's just no excuse in this day and age.

My cousins lived in Kokomo for awhile and about all I remember about that place is that there were "burma shave" signs on the way there and pig pens (empty) to play in.

I left Indy for San Diego in 1978, after a terrible winter (my half way point in life) never to return. I hung out on Meridian Street sometimes as a kid to roll queers and watch hookers. I also worked for a guy (fag) that bought a house (Mansion) on the Northside right off of Meridian St., I think about 56th / Kessler Blvd. area. I painted the inside of the place one summer. It had 19 rooms plus servants quarters and a 6 car garage. He had a couple of Rolls Royces and was big on the Lamplight District redevelopment.

My brother is an electrician and does a lot of major building wiring. He re- wired the City County building and wired the Guiness Bar not too long ago. He likes it there, but I don't. My sister wants to move to Dale Hollow, Tennessee as soon as her daughter gets out of High School. They live in a very nice home in Greenwood, but their kids car got broken into and his stereo was stolen numerous times while parked in the H.S. Parking Lot.

The only way I'd go back to Indy is if they dragged me there to be buried. I live in the Panhandle of Texas. A lot of people would say this place sucks too, but I like it.
