Glenn Beck: 'I've lost faith,' time to 'surrender'
WND ^ | March 6, 2013 | Joe Kovacs

Says dying America is 'gurgling, we've got our hand on the wound'


Glenn Beck acts out a scene of rescuing a dying America during his broadcast Tuesday, March 5, 2013.

Claiming that “America is hemorrhaging” and headed rapidly toward death, media giant Glenn Beck says he’s lost faith in many of the institutions that have made the U.S. such a great country, and it’s time to “surrender.”

“When the government says they can use drones and just kill us without a warrant or a trial, my gosh, America certainly is dead,” Beck said during his broadcast Tuesday night.

“I’ve lost faith in my government, I’ve lost faith in the media, in banking, the justice system, some of our big-city police departments … I think I just didn’t have faith in the DMV 15 years ago. Now I question everything. I don’t have faith in any of it.”

Can’t get enough Glenn Beck? WND has a complete section dedicated to his products in the WND Superstore.

But Beck said he realized he wasn’t “supposed to have faith in any of those things,” and proffered the tactic of surrender.

“I remember that surrender is an important way of winning. Surrender. You’re powerless over it. And you are. We’re powerless over anything that happens in Washington. And so what do you do? You try to make amends for the things that you’ve done wrong. You try to live differently. Take an inventory, and then you take control of the things you can and you work hardest on those.”

He continued: “Just as I don’t have faith in anything [I mentioned], my faith grows in my family, and in God. I raise my kids and make sure I’m listening as closely as

No, no! His next big rally will “restore faith” and everything will be fine. /s

Here are some links on the Walmart influence. I will be interested in your thoughts after reading them.

http://www.yolohub.com/economy/is-wal-mart-destroying-america-20-facts-about-wal-mart-that-will-absolutely-shock-you

http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/brooklyn/study-proves-walmart-super-stores-kill-local-small-businesses-article-1.140129

Someone told me Walmart had a pattern of overbuilding in a city, selling for less than they did in their other stores, forcing other businesses to fail, and even failing themselves, but then scooping up vacant property to sell. This surprised me, but then I check Google and found this at: www.walmartrealty.com

“Welcome To Walmart Realty

Walmart Realty, a division of Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., is a real estate company that offers many development opportunities nationwide. Walmart Realty concentrates on commercial real estate located in or around our current and former locations. Walmart Realty’s mission is to find businesses to open in our former stores and clubs and to locate in available property around our stores. At Walmart Realty, we believe we have a responsibility to work with communities to find a use that generates economic growth and opportunity. We work at the local level with local brokers, economic development officials and elected leaders to find partners that best suits the needs of each local community.”

Walmart is currently attempting to put 6 Walmarts into Washington, DC. This is a hot and growing market for real estate. So when their Walmarts destroy the neighboring businesses they can buy them up, and assembled with their own buildings which will be 2 to 4 stories, they will be able to combine these large blocs of land and pay politicians for rezoning to 10 story buildings and make much more than they do by selling cheap Chinese merchandise.

Beck loses faith in Christianity and becomes a follower of Mormonism instead, figures if you lose faith in God, then join a faith where YOU become God yourself.

Yeah... but the problem then becomes that you actually are the one to blame for 'everything'.

How much do you trust Walmart to control our education system?

Oh... I don't think it will be Walmart.

We shall go on to the end. We shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be. We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender.

At another link which I posted earlier on this thread I believe I read that Costco has only 1/5th the wealth of Walmart. See the link below regarding Walmart influence on eduction. You may even agree with some of it. However, the point that I found most interesting was that although we may disagree with our government, we can influence it by voting and political action. But there is no control over private corporations if they control education.

Tens of millions of us live in cities where the left won’t even let Walmart build a grocery store, Walmart is forbidden to sell groceries in those cities, and you choose to join the left?

How can you people forbid us to shop at our favorite grocery store? How did you get the power over the market like that to simply not allow competition to even enter the market?

Did your power come from creating lies and rumors and attacking Walmart on every site?

What's worse is that the government is a private corporation and they have financial control over our national education system.

I think Beck has lost audience share. I remember when this guy was riding high on TV.
I haven’t seen him in what, two years?
_________________________________________________________

I don’t know if he lost share or not but he is sure a lot better to watch now than when he was on CNN or on FOX. I have to pay to watch. I don’t watch TV but I watch Beck on my computer or I-Pad.

Ok, he’s a Mormon, so! I like the guy. I don’t care for some of his emotions but I like his research, he tells it like it is and nobody else does that as well as him.

My junior senator, Rand Paul, rocks, he should have installed a catheter before he started tonight. I think he made some waves. I hope those waves splash on the White house.

Well if this is true then they were liberals all along most likely DU Trolls. I mean really Obama won and Freepers embrace him now? I don’t think so if anything they were being sarcastic or showing their tue colors which was red not red white and blue.

You’re right. If this article is even half accurate I have a new respect for Walmart.
