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."

EVERYTHING that George Orwell wrote about, is coming true right before our very eyes, from Newspeak, to GoodFacts, to the MiniTru...

Correction.....27 per county. Had divided by 50 first by accident.

That's more than enough to scare the shiite out of folks. However, who will them blame and which way will they jump. Hard to know, and it will probably vary across the country.

I wonder why MajGen (USA-ret) Albert Stubblebine, West Point graduate and former Director of the U.S. Army Intelligence and Security Command, found it germane recently to sign this statement about his oath as an officer:

Oath Keepers

Food for thought. Pass it on.

If that’s what they want, I’m sure our military will be glad to oblige. Honduras ring a bell?

I guess it was not really clear....

(I think that those numbers are tallied weekly.)

The tally was dated on Aug 24th, but did not include Aug 24th.

Tues and Wedsday Beck said he had 3 million viewers on Monday the night of the 24th.

They are evil and wicked, but so are about 100 million pissed off Americans. The government is supposed to fear us, we should not fear them.

What would you do? Go to work as usual, hide under the bed, or would you grab your weapons and ‘ride towards the sound of gunfire’, so to speak?

I'm almost embarrassed that I have to be that prepared. But I'm ready to ride.

I really hope that I do not have to resort to weapons though. But, I will.

The officers in the military do not swear to obey the CIC or any orders from him. They are sworn to uphold the Constitution.

I hope that they will oblige.

My fear is that it will come to that.

My good conservative friend has a son in the military, and I posed the same question to her. She looked at me with the saddest eyes and reminded me that our military is trained to obey. She told me HER SON is being trained to obey.
I understand our military are patriots. But they are also trained to obey.


I have 2 sons in the Army, I have asked them both point blank. If Obama gave an order to cease or shoot at Americans on US soil would they do it?

Both replied that they would not and that there would be open rebellion in the military against any such order by the POTUS. Their loyalty is to the Constitution not Obama

Ponder this - how many patriots went to help Randy Weaver and his family while they were under siege?

how do you bust thru a nazi line when you don't know whats going on or who's to blame?.....

You are absolutely right. Enough uncertainty about what is happening as it unfolds is enough to slow reaction time, allowing the nazis to fully deploy before an effective opposition can develop. Leaves the target(s) pretty much on their own. Numerous scenarios could result in martial law, with the airwaves and internet regulated by the nazis which would give them that window of confusion.

A lot of what ifs and could bes...nazis fortunately aren't as competent as they like to think they are. They are already happily vandalizing the country - and I think vandalism is all that they are really good at so I have faith that right will triumph in the end, but at the cost of how much suffering?

I can guarantee the same. I think everyone should also have passports and everything else in order, just in case you need to leave the country for a short time to recoup.

Nah, we just had a Pinko Muslim apologist paid off traitor in the WH then. Almost makes me nostalgic for the great white fornicator.

He needs the support of the U.S. MILITARY. How you gonna argue with that???

What was it that the Apollo guy said in the clip that Beck showed?

"My job is to be a community organizer inside the federal family."

What would happen if somebody "organizes" the poor inner city blacks and latinos at the "grunt" level in the military to disobey their commanders and follow Obama?
