Glenn Beck's fear of Obama: Seize power overnight
WorldNetDaily ^ | August 26, 2009 | Joe Kovacs

Posted on 08/26/2009 7:18:55 PM PDT by RobinMasters

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."

Rush said they have tried everything since the Clinton Administration to still his voice and have been unsuccessful.

But this isn't just "the Clintons". What we are seeing now is a "new" America.

Rush, Beck. If what you are asserting is true, they will not allow you to speak much longer - and they don't need some Diversity Czar at the FCC to shut you up for good.

Rush. Beck. Double your security, NOW! Dead tongues don't rouse "opposition" to The Regime on the radio, nor do they cause "trouble"...

Hope your not correct. The first sign will be large scale power and communication blackouts.

I worked on a project back in 2004 or so that involved a company buying out cellular tower leases all over the country - every state in the lower 48. I think the company name was Reliance Communications - though there was another entity named TowerCo involved in some of the deals.

It wasn't until later that I learned that George Soros was heavily involved with those companies. That suggests some ugly possibilities.

“The first sign will be large scale power and communication blackouts”

So when this pandemic really hits this fall with first shortages then brownouts and then military locking down the hospitals so the staff cannot leave and the Social Fabric “center does not hold”, he will take control for a little while but he cannot hold those reins very long...a shadow troika will move into place.

I'm worried about Glenn. He's starting to sound like Colonel Kurtz.

Will that scene be replayed in 100 million American homes?

I can guarantee, with absolute certainty, that that scene will NOT take place in my home. It may get nasty, and the ultimate outcome may not go my way, but I will not stand idly by and allow tyranny to enslave me without a battle.

The only way that might ever happen (suspension of elections) would be a crisis of unprecedented scope and magnitude. It’s very hard to envision, even for this bunch in Washington.

To those of you whom have responded to my comment, let me just say that it is my opinion.

I also hope that I am wrong, I really sincerely do.

Power could be seized in a number of ways. Manufactured emergency that results in suspension of the constitution for one. Well armed, well funded civilian army blocking access to polls for another. Illegal signing of an international treaty which no longer recognizes our constitution.

I’m not sure if any of these things will play out. However I am sure that our government is controlled by the most power hungry people that I have ever seen. Do any of you think that any of them give one flying **** about the constitution? I know I don’t.

And, yes, such an event would trigger a war within the country. One that most citizens with families aren’t organizationally prepared to fight, which means that civilians would likely be defeated. During most communist takeovers, large segments of the population are eliminated outright.

I do not trust the federal government of this country at all. It is as sinister as anything that I have ever seen in my entire life. Do you expect the party that stole three senate seats post-election to honorably step aside because we voted them out?

Beck and those who adhere to his paranoid ramblings are out of their collective minds.

The media and the administration are not refuting what he is saying. Do they have no defense or are they hoping the sheeple will remain sheeple?

Did you see the clip of the diversity director for the FCC?

“He needs the support of the U.S. MILITARY.

And he AIN’T gonna get that.”

Unless he convinces them of the need...and when the dead bodies, projected 86,000 according to what the CDC told the mortuary industry, are being held in empty buildings and refrigerator trucks in NYC waiting for burial or incineration, the military will be convinced.

The deck has been stacked.
Prepare for culling.

most of the msm is communist....they will support O

Bet not one of em can shoot straight.

Let’s see who will back negabama, he’s POed the Military over and over and tells old Vets to haricari, he’s told the cops they are racist and stupid and his good buddies are pissing on the CIA, that only leaves the bros in da hood, the libs who are not sure which end of a gun to hold and a bunch of spoiled old dem politicians who are afraid of common folks with handmade signs. Sure looks like an unfair fight to me, but hey if they want to start it, who are we to argue.

Once declared everything can be ‘suspended’. For the good of the Country don’t ya know.

You only need to look what has been done in the first 6 months of the administration. He fired the CEO of a private company, he stole assets from Chrysler bondholders.

No one is challenging Obama’s Czars. Where in the constitution does he have this power to appoint them? How much do they earn? Do they have security clearances, background checks? Is anyone other than GB looking for answers to these questions?

86,000 is not a large number. There are 3140 counties in this country. 86,000 works out to be .54 persons per county.

“There's that crazy guy in the movies that always seems to end up right. Glenn Beck is that crazy guy, only this isn't a movie.”

Well, he is a crazy guy (probably bipolar, but many of the most productive folks are). Though he would deny it publicly, he's well enough grounded religiously to realize he's become something of a prophet. Beck (and Limbaugh's) strength is that they do their homework. There are plenty of the talk jocks that don't. Glenn's mixed up brain is still efficient enough to add up what is going on, and had his thinking not been outside of the box, he still wouldn't have a clue as to what this is all leading up to.

As it stands, he's got a pretty good clue to where SOME folks want to take this country. What he previously underestimated, and now is beginning to realize, is that there are a LOT of folks that will oppose the Lib's effort to roll the county over onto its top. As Davis said, “It's gonna’ be a bumpy ride”. The benefit to the hard lesson we're about to be taught, is that there's going to be quite a population of folks that are going to suddenly get their heads screwed on straight. The country's going to have to run the gauntlet first. When it's done, we'll certainly be in a better philosophical condition, but the tuition is going to be really expensive.

Obama and dems might want to do this - but there’s too many good people in both parties for them to get away with it...
