Everybody should have a cheap spare computer that’s not connected to the internet for personal backup of files.
Also, a couple of flash/thumb drives.
What is CAP?
I dont know what to think about this. Hell Beck is so paranoid, as he should be, everyone and their dog are after him..... Did he say anything about Lincoln Memorial Rally today?
SUPERSTITIOUS dread about the end of the world is nothing new.
Early Christians lived in almost daily expectation of Armageddon. In the Middle Ages, no one doubted we would all fry after a terrible confrontation betwen the forces of good and evil.
But the real panic merchants came into their own a thousand years ago, at the end of the FIRST millennium.
Some historians claim that thousands of people left friends and families and hurried to Jerusalem for the second coming in the year 1000.
Back home, lords and peasants fled to church on December 31, or gathered under crucifixes.
Rich men surrendered wagon loads of jewels, convicts were let out of prison, there was a wave of suicides and farm animals were allowed to wander off.
Other historians condemn such stories as romantic myths, pointing out that most people were too uneducated to know what year it was.
And the Roman Catholic church, sole religious authority in the West at the time, explicitly opposed any talk about the end of the world.
But that didn’t stop the doomsday merchants. A monk called Ralph Glaber, from Burgundy, wrote in the 990s about wanton
behaviour; infernos in major cities in Italy and France; great calamities; the terrible screaming of the people and the deaths of many famous personalities.
In the last decade of the first millennium, the extraordinary Peace of God movement started in France.
Huge throngs of people would gather in the fields to worship relics and swear oaths of peace.
But despite two thousand years of doom and gloom
... we’re still here!
THESE are the words of famous psychiatrist Sigmund Freud...

It’s irresponsible to goad listeners with such cassandra-esque ravings.
Some people will simply say anything that bumps up the ratings that dictate the size of their paycheck, but that’s irresponsible.
Frankly, it borders on lunacy.
Beck makes his money and reputation from being an alarmist.
The man is not to be believed.
I think this is far-fetched, but just in case, anyone got ham radio up and running?
Time will tell whether Beck is right or wrong.
Meanwhile, given the current situation we find ourselves in with a Marxist president installed by global financial elitists and kept there by a state-run media, I’ll hedge my bets and hold fire until I see the results.
Personally, I tend to go with what Beck’s saying — better safe than sorry. His advice is sensible.
The rest of you naysayers who so complimentarily add your tinfoil hats to your “considered” comments do not impress. People laughed at Noah too... before they drowned.
Proceed at your own risk.
Actually, the Obamists have been pretty clear about what their intentions are with respect to media they don’t control.
Beck is becoming a mockery of himself. He must be vying for the Orly Taitz Award.
The craziest things Beck says he doesn’t say. He just rolls the tape and lets the Obamists speak for themselves.
One of the MANY reasons we are leaving and going to live outside the US in our vacation home. Will it be permanent? It all depends but it’s one hell of a lot better than here right now. At least we won’t be working to pay the loafers. I’m done... so done.
There will be a lame duck session after November where the rats will do a number on this country on their way out. There is also a very dangerous FCC.
Add to this new legislation in the works for a shut off switch operated by the FCC and White House that could shut down the pipes (Internet) in the event of a National Emergency. That emergency could be just around the corner with Iran, Israel, Russians Bears and of course China.
When you couple all this with the fact that we have become utterly dependent on Internet traffic for damn near everything, it is indeed a scary scenario!
Add to this again the cloud computing fad that has taken over self managed data bases, and this could explain Beck's statements and urgency.
I think anyone with half a brain would concede that entirely too much control has been given to the government and various agencies have indicated that they will act independently is they think the Congress won't write the laws for them to act legally. As we can now see clearly that Obama flaunts the law and the courts with this recent moratorium business, I think it wise to begin the process of hunkering down just in case. Also, by more ammunition.

The idiots in Washington are not going to shut down the internet. They will however demand that postings be made with real names and charge a national sales tax on sales made through internet connections.
Oh, how I wish he'd shut up.
I actually heard that part of his show today. He told everyone to connect with conservative groups - organizations who share your own personal beliefs - because sometime in the future, then internet may be shut down to those of us who choose to connect this way. That’s all!
