Glenn Beck says Egypt unrest may be start of next world war. Glenn Beck has always had a flair for the dramatic, as anyone who has ever watched him or listened to him can tell you. After all, this is the man who, in early 2009, hosted an “apocalypse” show in order to highlight the impending economic apocalypse that the Obama administration was hellbent on wreaking on the US (to be fair, according to Beck, the US had been on that course for years). So now, it should be no surprise that Beck’s attention has turned to the biggest news story in the whole world: the unrest in Egypt. According to Beck’s dramatic analysis, the uprising and the violence all over Egypt is the Archduke Ferdinand moment that the whole world is seeing all over again. For those who are not World War I buffs, Beck is referring to the archduke’s assassination on June 28, 1914, which kicked off World War I.

Israel should not rule out a first strike with their Nukes.
Israel should break out the warhead polish.....just in case.

On yesterday TV show, Beck mentioned that the modern equivalent of the Archduke Ferdinand moment might just have been the self-immolation of the man in Tunisia.
At least Beck is addressing some of the topics flying around on FR.
It would be a terrible sad event if by some chance a space object were to totally destroy Mecca, turn it into a mile wide crater.
An act of God, it wasn’t a missile, it wasn’t some form of tectonic amplification device.
A simple act of God.
Beck makes the point that the US is propping up too many dictators throughout the world, in direct conflict against our very own principles of freedom and liberty.
That support for dictatorships must come to an end.
The US should support instead grass roots protests where the indigenous peoples are fighting for their own freedom and liberty.
I dunno...
Things are way beyond any coherent 1st strike strategy. Lets pray the riots in Egypt ARE more about food than policies
“The US should support instead grass roots protests where the indigenous peoples are fighting for their own freedom and liberty.”

THE SECOND COMING
Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: a waste of desert sand;
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Wind shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?
Sometimes I think Beck has lost it.
He has been frighteningly accurate so far.
He predicted months ago that something major would start in some little backwater country that nobody ever thinks about and it would spread from there. Tunisia certainly fits that bill.
Yep. You can definitely get there from here.
Glen Beck has an amazing grasp for the obvious.
Perhaps that is the reason they think of us as the Great Satan.
Just sayin’.
I think there have been many predictions coming from conservatives or independents both about the world in general or the US specifically. Just to name a few: Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Bill O’Reilly, Glenn Beck among others. Perhaps this is also another reason why the Fox News Channel is so popular. Not only do you get the straight dope, the facts, the truth but also you get some pretty amazing - and even more importantly, accurate predictions!
Obama Administration Lifts US Ban on Muslim Brotherhood Leader
01/22/10 | IsraelNationalNews.com | by Avi Yellin
The Barack Obama administration has decided to lift a ban preventing Muslim Scholar Professor Tariq Ramadan from entering the United States. Ramadan, an Egyptian currently living in Switzerland, is a leading member of Europe’s Muslim Brotherhood branch and the grandson of the movement’s founder Hassan al-Banna. The Muslim Brotherhood is the parent organization for Hamas and some of the groups that recently merged into al-Qaeda, including Ayman al Zawahiri’s Egyptian Islamic Jihad.
Ramadan was invited to teach at the University of Notre Dame in 2004 but the George W. Bush administration revoked his visa, citing a statute that applies to those who have “endorsed or espoused” terrorism. The administration later dropped the terror endorsement claim and linked the ban to $1,336 in donations Ramadan made between 1998 and 2002 to a Swiss charity that was later blacklisted by the US.
Although the White House asked the court last March to uphold the Bush-era entry ban on Ramadan, the administration has now decided to lift the ban and possibly allow both Ramadan and South African Muslim activist Professor Adam Habib onto American soil. State Department spokesman Philip Crowley told reporters that the government no longer views Ramadan or Habib as representing threats to the United States. “The next time Professor Ramadan or Professor Habib apply for a visa, they will not be found inadmissible on the basis of the facts that led to denial when they last applied.”
October 1, 2010 - San Francisco, CA - PipeLineNews.org - Tariq Ramadan, the son of [now deceased] Said Ramadan, former Secty. General of the World Islamic Council [source, http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/05193/536684.stm] and grandson of Hassan Al Banna [see, Wiki bio, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tariq_Ramadan] the 1928 founder of the Muslim Brotherhood, is headlining the 16th Annual CAIR Banquet on October 9.
According to the Weekly Standard, it was Said Ramadan who was the likely author of the Muslim Brotherhood’s ambitious plan to topple Western democracies, variously called, “the Plan” or “the Project.” [Link to doc here An Explanatory Memorandum On the General Strategic Goal for the Group in North America. The document was entered into evidence in U.S. vs. Holy Land Foundation, America’s most important terror funding prosecution.
“Said Ramadan was one of the most important Islamist thinkers of the 20th century. He is probably the author of “The Project,” a 14-page document dated 1982 found by the Swiss secret service in 2001. “The Project” is a roadmap for installing Islamic regimes in the West by propaganda, preaching, and if necessary war.” [source, http://www.weeklystandard.com/content/public/articles/000/000/012/800naxnt.asp]
Excerpt:
Jasser said that Western elites misconstrue critical issues in the current struggle with radical Islam. They erroneously believe that the most important aspect of the conflict is whether an Islamist organization is violent or nonviolent.
But truly moderate Muslims spend most of their time dealing with the factors that drive people toward radical Islam. And a major factor is “political Islam,” which Jasser described as “the 800-pound elephant in the room.”
A key component of this consists of making excuses for terrorism and objecting to U.S. defense actions against violent jihadists. Jasser cited an interview during which a reporter asked Ramadan about the recent announcement that the United States would target Anwar al-Awlaki –an Al Qaeda-linked imam who has endorsed terrorist attacks like the Fort Hood massacre and the attempted Christmas Day airliner bombing.
Ramadan voiced objections to U.S. efforts to kill Awlaki, saying the imam felt “estrangement” from mainstream American society and had been “pushed away.”
Jasser and Mansur voiced particularly strong objections to this “root cause” argument, saying it was an attempt to make excuses for Awlaki’s criminal behavior. Ramadan also accepted money from Iran as compensation for a television show on the regime controlled PRESS Television.
“I would not take remuneration from a government that engages in the oppression of Muslims,” Jasser said.
Ramadan stands for “obfuscation and denial” and represents the ideology of the Muslim Brotherhood, he added.
Fatah, who also published this column on Ramadan in the Montreal Gazette, blasted the “cowardice of Western society” in refusing to confront efforts to “recreate the world of [Muslim Brotherhood founder Hassan al-Banna, Tariq Ramadan’s grandfather] in Canada.”

Beck sounded foolish on O’Reilly last night, basically adopting the Paulistinian line, then retreating when BOR rightly accused him of wanting to turn us into Switzerland. Glenn is good on domestic matters. I think he needs to do a bit more research before spouting off on international matters.
Was Beck implying or saying that all Americans MUST have a weapon at home for defensive purposes like Switzerland does?
I just don’t watch Beck anymore, he is a Pied Piper looking for continuous fame.
Glenn falls short on solution and needs to stick to just the facts of what is happening and history.
