In the aftermath of the Glenn Beck “Restoring Courage” rally, questions have emerged about a U.S. State Department message released the day of the event that warned Americans to stay away.
The timing and specifics of the event warning have led some to claim that ideological opposition to the Beck event– not just concerns for American safety– could have influenced the decision.
The “Emergency Message” addressed to U.S. Government Employees and visiting citizens in Jerusalem is available on the Consulate’s website. The message posted to the site on August 24th stated the following:
“The U.S. Consulate General in Jerusalem notes that, according to local security sources, Jerusalem is under a heightened Security Alert. The police have established roadblocks in various sections of the city and increased their personnel on the streets.

The list, ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
That’s all politics
Nachum, would you please add me to your ping list.
Thanks
SO, did the message work to keep people away?
Did the Beck event happen? I have not heard anything about it since Beck left TV.
Hillary would have warned people to stay away from the Beck event on the Washington mall if she had found a pretext to do so.
Yes it did. Listen to his radio show.
Can we assume that the Kenyan State Department warning was universally ignored by U.S. citizens?
Yes, Beck had his event. His site has a lot of details.
She could say that the Washington Monument might fall on them, so its for their own safety
Sure did. If you want to watch it go to gbtv.com (Glenn Beck TV) or go to his website.
Pure politics!
Didn’t our US ambassador to Egypt go to some rally recently in Cairo and get beat up? I wonder if they issued any warnings in Egypt too?
Thanks Nachum.
