It’s way too complicated. Nothing is cut and dry. But I know where Glenn Beck is coming from. There is a guy named Pete Santili, who was behind the Truckers Boycott in D.C., and there is two guys Alex Jones and his rival Jeff Rense. There are others as well like Jack Blood, Michael Rivero, and Adam Kokesh. They are all radio hosts, but underground hosts on the net or fringe radio networks. They peddle in conspiracy and they all love 9-11 conspiracies too. Not all, but some of them, especially Pete Santilli and Adam Kokesh have been advocating violence. On Monday when Glenn Beck said that some people and some sites have been egging on violence, I am 100% sure he meant them.
Glenn singled out one site, but did not name it. He said they jumped on the rancher stuff and have been advocating war instead of a resolution to Bundy’s case. Beck said he doesn’t trust that “site” and that it would ruin the tea party if things got violent and people who were probably “plants” started stuff.
I am unsure exactly what site he meant. But I have ideas. One is Alex Jones’ Info Wars, another is Pete Santilli’s site Guerrilla Media Network, a third option is Michael Rivero’s site What Really Happened and the fourth candidate is Adam Kokesh’s site for his new radio show Adam Vs. The Man, which used to be a RT America show. There are probably others, but those came to mind.
It would be quick to single out Alex Jones and his two sites Info Wars and Prison Planet. But I think he meant Pete Santilli and Guerrilla Media Network because he is egging on violence in this situation and he was personally there on Saturday. Those guys are a bit too “radical” and no longer want to deal in politics but want disobedience and disorder to start stuff. I am sure he is not the only one, but he fits the bill that Glenn was talking about.
Glenn feels the tea party is close to winning the mid-terms, taking back the senate, and the DNC wants people like those “guys” with Pete to start stuff. Glenn is worried that hot heads who do not care are going to go rouge like the people on the left. Glenn knows most people on the right are law abiding peaceful people. So he is warning people to becareful because bad elements have entered the “movement.”
Glenn Beck is also saying that anybody supporting confrontation instead of exhausting every avenue like winning back the senate and helping out candidates is not a “good guy.” He blasted anybody wanting violence for not using that energy to help candidates win back the senate and stop Obama’s agenda. Any confrontation might result in martial law. And it doesn’t gain much but problems. It is not time for war he said.
That’s his take.
I get what you are saying, and I am a GB fan (flame suit on) but I respectfully disagree with him on this.
The show of force at Bunkerville was not about deception. It was what this country used to stand for- strength through power. Walk softly and carry a big stick. That sort of thing.
Remember, the fed was the aggressor, not the patriots. And the power and bravery that was displayed by patriots at Bunkerville should never be disregarded as political gamesmanship.
Beck’s on another rant this morning about Bundy supporters being comparable to Malcomb X and Bill Ayers.
