Glenn Beck has always been known as someone to make some fairly bold and strange predictions, but the protests in Egypt may have given birth to a Beck prophecy on a whole other level. Beck has said that the Egyptian uprising is not merely about an oppressed and impoverished people fighting for their rights, but instead, Beck sees the uprising as an effort by radical Muslims and socialists to establish a one world government called a caliphate. Under Becks theory, the caliphate will eventually lead the end of the Western world as we know it. Beck has warned his viewers that the revolution is not merely about Egypt, but about their own towns, homes, and way of life...

Jumped the shark or jumped the gun? He’s been right about many predictions people called him crazy for when he made them. Whatever his personal quirks, he doesn’t ask people to believe, he just asks them to look at the same facts, listen to the same words out of peoples’ mouths that he does to draw the conclusions he’s made. Give it a try before calling him crazy. Between 60 and 70 percent of Egyptians want a caliphate rather than an independent country on its own called Egypt. Are they all in on a conspiracy? The Mohammadan world was once fairly recently one political unit, or much of it was - the divisions in it we see as independent countries were in very large part impositions of the European colonial powers in the last century. Beck might not be expressing it that way, and he might not have gotten the right degrees from the right places and belong to the right think tanks and the right associations for the establishment to look to him for quotes on this subject. But can’t, for instance, a plumber be right about predicting where the sun is going to rise tomorrow morning without a degree in astrophysics?
Me too!!!
If in 2 years Egypt is threatening to break peace with Israel bringing the whole Middle East to the Brink of war - will the same media look back and say, “Glenn was the only one who got it right”? Don’t hold your breath.
Really Rachel Madhow.
bert, we got it.
You don’t like Beck.
You make it clear on every thread.
Meanwhile; Rush blathers on about football and golf...I actually can LEARN some things from Beck...
Mark Levin played a clip on Friday of some of the reaction, in NY, to MB’s ‘stepping down’ and there was a guy, sounded arabic, yelling “this is the end for Israel, this is the end for America!!”. Sounds completely democratic to me /s
With that said, GB is pushing the limit on the predictions. People are fed up with being scared crapless for 3 hours plus an hour on TV. He’s done a lot of good and has been critical in opening eyes with his research but predicting what is going to happen in such detail is careless and foolish and irresponsible as well (imo). No one ‘knows’ what is going to happen; only God knows.
The islamists and the radical left are in a marriage of convenience to bring down the West as we’ve known it. They both believe they will rise to the top in both of their spheres. The muslims believe the socialists are idiots, and will be their next target.
Just search the term “Day of rage” with the name of virtually any middle eastern nation and you’ll be amazed. They’re going on all across the mideast and elsewhere and they all want “Change” and “Social Justice”. (Uganda seems to be the new one)
Looking at the history of “The day of rage” is also interesting. It was first used in 1969 Chicago by the weathermen and SDS.
Those who refuse to pay attention may as well consider themselves marxists because they’re either with us or against us.
He's being attacked from every imagineable quarter.
Exactly.
And when the Copts, who have been there for 2,000 years, are given the 24 hour warning to leave or die, what will the MSM say?
That is what is happening in Iraq now. The Christian population in Iraq has been cut by 2/3 since the fall of Saddam. The sectarian cleansing is now accelerating. The church bombings are just a warning to leave. And they are. After 2,000 years, the last holdout Christians are being cleansed from the M.E. And we are watching it happen.
Regardless of who runs for President in Egypt, if Muslim Brotherhood doesn’t condone them, again, we will see riots in the square, forcing all those they don’t approve of, to back out..leaving the one they want, to win.
Regardless, all of our Allies must be quakin in the boots to see US turn on Mubarek.
It’s odd, didn’t Obama say in 2009 regarding the President in Honduruas that US couldn’t support a military coup? He labeled the Honduras removal of a President, ignoring rule of law, as illegal....but yet, called for Mubarek ousting....
I no longer watch Beck because I got rid of Cable TV (including Fox News—which was about the only thing I watched anymore). Even so, I think he’s done the country a great service by exposing some of the cockroaches under the rock, including: ASoros, Van Jones, Cloward-Piven, and the ACORN crowd. He is very good at describing the purpose, structure, and operating practices of these networks. Its the first step toward dismantling them.
On the flip side, I think he does go overboard at times. But, overall, he is doing a great job.
This author hasn’t been to Michigan where football practice was moved to after dark so as to not upset the fasting (and drinking fluids) part of Ramadan would not be disrupted.
Now either non-muslims were having midnight football practice or the entire football team is muslim. Either way, it’s not good.
Here's the bind we Cassandras inevitably wind up in:
If we're right, and not heeded, we die with everyone else.
But if the warning's heard, and we defend ourselves so it doesn't happen, we're wrong:
"SEE? It didn't happen"
I can’t stand to watch him either although I have email friends who hang on his every word.
