Glen Beck is Scaring the Poo out of Me

The Glen Beck Show | 11/8/2010 | MsLady

[MsLady]

Ok, normally I can handle what Glen has to say. But, what he's been saying the past 2 weeks is scaring the cr*p out of me. Has anyone else been watching him? And does anyone have any feedback on what he's been saying. I honestly don't know enough about economics to gage if what he's saying is far fetched of if our world is on the edge of complete collapse.

I do realize we are living in the days before Christ return and I believe what he says will happen at some point. I would just like some feedback. And a really big pacifier...lol

"Too many self-important morons clutter up interesting and useful threads."

You've got that right, Publius6961. A quarter of this thread has been about the non-issue of spelling instead of what the thread poster hoped to see discussed! Ridiculous and petty, imo.

[Kartographer]

Please do!

[Publius6961]

Before I forget, this thread is astonishing. I was actually laughing, reading the first 100 replies.

Do we all get Freeper Ostrich tee shirts soon?

Or as an alternative, perhaps this :

We don't have to watch Glenn Beck. We don't have to prepare for next week, never mind 6 months from now.
We don't have to do a damn thing.

But criticising and ridiculing those who do is really lame.

It is still sort of a free country.

I like Beck, but I can’t stand his radio show! The giggling and overtalking and heehawing between him and those other guys — ugh. It’s so tiresome (to me).

[surfer]

When the crap hits the fan he will be whimpering for help from whomever will be willing.

I don’t have time for people who don’t have the right priorities right now...

He said, why would China help to collapse our economy and they should care. We are support them we buy everything from them.

That line of thinking is fallacious. People don't get jobs because they want to work. They get jobs so they can buy stuff and that goes for the Chinese, too. In short: China does not depend on US consumption when in fact it can consume its production itself.

The result is that trade deficits will need to be balanced and US spending vs. investment patterns will need to be re-adjusted. A likely worst case scenario is continued zero-growth (remember: the US economy needs to grow one percent (more than e.g. Japan) just to make up for demographics / population growth) for another few years. That would happen with or without Obama, this has been in the making for decades, e.g. under Clinton and Bush. The Obama administration is just making things worse by inflating the currency (let's call it the "Italian" model vs. the "Japanese" model).

This will not lead to total collapse. In the end, people still need to eat, they still need to live somewhere and they will still need clothing, communication and mobility. Italians also continued to live their lifes when the government was broke. These are hard times, not end times. Those who were affected by the bubble will be poorer. But there will not be mass starvation. Everyone who is saying otherwise has either a political agenda or wants to sell you something.

I hope you're not suggesting the Soylent Green strategy.

Although that would kill two birds with one ...ummmm round?

[MsLady]

ewwwwww!!!!

[MsLady]

George has got to have a pact with the devil himself and I’m serious about that. Glenn said the other day that these people aren’t evil just misguided or just have another view. I suppose you could have said the same thing about hitler, stalin, ect.....It’s one of the few times I totally disagree with Glenn. Some of these people are truly evil.

[NeoCaveman]

Glenn is scaring the poo out of me too.

Preparing for any natural or man-made disaster is very similar to buying car insurance. You may not need it, but if you do, you were smart to have it in the first place.

Pretty much anyone is capable of taking concrete steps to prepare for the worst, just in case. If you don't actually need to follow through, you haven't lost anything. If you do actually need to follow through, you were prepared and practiced in advance.

Download a copy of Kartographer's PDF ebook from his post in #4 and then actually read it.

Think about the items in the PDF file for a couple of days. You will very likely calm down a lot. Simply having knowledge of what to do in an emergency, helps a great deal.

Actually practicing some of the items, so you actually have first hand knowledge, re-enforces the preparedness methods you have read and demonstrates to yourself that you actually know what to do if you need to do it.

When was the last time you actually baked a simple loaf of bread ? Seriously, when did you actually measure out the flour (you could even grind the wheatberries in your own ball or grain mill), the yeast and the other items ?

Got any cast iron cookware like an 8 quart Dutch Oven ? Did you know, over hot wood coals or on top of a single burner, a Dutch oven could bake full size loaf of bread or slow cook an entire meal or deep fry chicken or make soup or with the lid turned over, griddle pancakes ? That's one single cast iron pot that can do all that and more. Know how to make your own equivalent of Bisquick or how to make hearty "stick to the ribs" soup from scratch ?

You see MsLady, once you know how and have actually done some of these things, what Glenn Beck states should not worry you nearly as much. Because you know what to do in many situations. Hope for the best but prepare for the worst.

You should know how to do many of the things in the PDF ebook. You should actually do some of the things in the PDF ebook as well. You should not wait until an emergency actually occurs to find out you don't know how to actually make bread or build some sort of shelter or how to catch and clean fish or pluck and dress a whole chicken or how to actually tune in a radio, etc..

Knowing that you can actually do these things, is a big step in actually preparing for these things. Then you can start acquiring some goods and using FIFO stock rotation, one step at a time. :)

>>What kind of a silly gratuitous presumptuous statement is that?<<

Answer upcoming..

>>I watch his TV show daily (DVR) and my IQ hasn’t dropped and everything I learned in a lifetime of study is still valid. <<

Given your first statement you are clearly incorrect. It is only a question of the point range drop.

I can’t spell, never have, not my strength

I am pretty sure everyone understood your post, regardless of spelling. I’ve seen a lot a correctly spelled posts here that made absolutely no sense.

Don’t you know that the CAFTA ‘free trade’ agreement was passed to put American ‘sugar barons’ out of business and give us lots of cheap sugar produced by the use of Haitian slaves in the Dominican republic?

Sugar is cheaper because of it!/sarc And slavery is alive and well because of “free trade” not just Haitians now, but in Los Angeles today, and in Minneapolis. “free trade” means you can trade anything, and with anyone, even slavers.

Its all connected, the establishment of ‘free trade’, the collapse of the job market, and food and fuel inflation.

The communist chinese are laughing all the way to the bank, and communist Hu Jintao is the richest man in the world.

Sugar prices are a symptom of the very radically wrong path America has taken due to decades of free traitors infecting our government.
