Will President Obama "seize power overnight" in a move to consolidate White House control of the U.S. government?
That's the fear of Fox News anchor Glenn Beck who discussed the issue at length today with another broadcasting powerhouse, radio's Rush Limbaugh.
"I fear this government, this administration has so much framework already prepared, that they will seize power overnight before anybody even gives it a second thought," Beck said.
His comment came as he was analyzing the changing nature of the media since Obama's election, citing the administration's close ties with the NBC network, owned by corporate giant General Electric:
If you watch what could only be called the administration's organ – anything involved with GE or NBC – you've got [GE CEO] Jeffrey Immelt on the board of the Federal Reserve, you have him in the Oval Office consulting not only on health care, but the financial situation, and they are an organ. If you watch MSNBC, I contend that you will see the future because they are laying the ground for a horrible event ... anything from the right, there's some awful event and I fear this government, this administration has so much framework already prepared, that they will seize power overnight before anybody even gives it a second thought.
Limbaugh responded, "I don't think they're going to be able to seize it overnight without anybody knowing about it."

Nonsense.
Bambi doesn’t need that boob Jeffrey Immelt to pull this off.
He needs the support of the U.S. MILITARY.
And he AIN’T gonna get that.
Hope Beck doesn’t jump the shark.
Is this episode of Glenn’s show available online? (For those who have already abandoned MSM.)
I love Beck. He’s one of the few who really investigates his own stories instead of just passing around someone else’s news.
To laugh at what Glen has discovered and is exposing is foolish when we know these bastards are more than willing to slaughter alive humans to serve their political empowerment. Obama even went one step further than abortion, by defending and seeking to protect the murder of just born alive infants. Put nothing past such evil, wicked people.
Its hardly over night. The SCOTUS is going to be re-hearing Citizens United vs FEC soon. The admin is claiming the power to OUTLAW books, films, internet postings of “corporate” funded political messages. This includes groups like the NRA and your local church.
Funny, he’s okay with MoveOn and OFA and Big Pharma spending a hundred million in favor of his health deform bill while wanting to OUTLAW us from doing anything at all.
That is what Noah's neighbors said.
Note that the media is not challenging him at all anymore. They tried a couple times on some minor stuff but they were shut off from the candy store and had their hands spanked. Now they are taunted daily by Gibbs or the President himself and they do nothing.
Scary!!!!
This is what has Beck WeeWeed up, and why it sounds logical.
We all should be as worried. We have no press and no Congress for oversight of the Obama hell hole.
most of the msm is communist....they will support O
“Even democrats are openly questioning him. Obamacare for instance.”
Don’t be retarded! Healthcare is the ONLY instance that the democrats are questioning him about and that is because the people are rising up against it. Something with Obama is just not right and I felt this long before Beck expressed it. I believe wholeheartedly that this is a takeover of the US government by American enemies. Obama is the culminatition of years of manipulation and planning.
“I have been of the opinion that there will be no more federal elections in this country for some time now. They ain’t giving up power. It’s going to have to be taken from them.”
Sorry to put you on the spot, but please explain to me as clearly and completely as your can, just how you think that Federal Elections can be suspended? Who do you think would enforce such a decision, if for purely conversational purposes, supposing it was possible to do so??
Oaths of Office are to the Constitution, not to an individual. Even the Military swears to obey the Orders of the President, not just the guy who happens to be President.
Big difference. I suggest you study your Constitution again and more closely....
I agree. It does sound alarmist that Beck fears an Obama administration seize of power, but you cannot argue with the facts, and Beck sets forth fact after fact supporting his position.
He’s not overly emotional. He’s a realist, in a country where most people have their heads in the sand. He’s terrified, but with good reason.
What you said:
He needs the support of the U.S. MILITARY.
Bears repeating:
He needs the support of the U.S. MILITARY.
There was a time when conspriacy theorists where called lunatics. I’m not so sure this time around. Did anyone ever believe that we would come to this point in time? It’s as easy as “Obama will be tested by generated crisis” our foot in mouth VP Biden burted out at a fund raiser before the election. An assisted pandemic, to institute marshall law? civil disobedience, to institute marshall law? A staged terrorist attack, to institute marshall law? Not so crazy, eh! The despicable will stop at nothing, the plans are in effect and we are in the way!
The problem is that he already has power.
If push comes to shove, the Secret Service will off him. Marines will round up his comrades and it will be all over except lawyers volunteering for defense will be imprisoned.
isnt the head of ge in an illegal position being involved whith all this other stuff. and why are Republicans not haveing any opinions on any of this...or checking the legality of this ruling body obama is setting up.
Lock and load...go ahead Barry, make my freaking day.
Refer to what Nervous Tick said in post 21.
He needs the support of the U.S. MILITARY.
How you gonna argue with that???
Yep, a bunch of us have been saying the same thing and there will NOT be any federal elections if they can help it. It's folly to think they would surrender power. Ain't gonna happen.
Ive been thinking what beck is talking about for quite awhile. what scares me is that we are looking at it the same way.....
