[Fox News, Glenn Beck, 12/8/10)
Beck: “I Told You Unrest Was Coming To Europe And Then It’s Coming Here.”
From Beck’s Fox News show:
Showing you for a year in advance — a year in advance, I told you unrest was coming to Europe and then it’s coming here. I have shown you now in the last few a months the actual unrest and violence in the street of Europe.
Again, today in Greece, the unions shut down public transportation. Who did I tell you would go that? The unions. Students are taking to the street in England over possible tuition hikes. I told you that would happen a year ago.
We showed you the burning cars. We’ve showed you how they are mirroring the failed economic policies here in America. I’m a paranoid lunatic, seditious. This must be suffocating paranoia.
Now, let me ask you this — are they willing now to say the same thing about the Pentagon? Because they have been war-gaming an economic crisis for almost two years now. One of these war games was called Unified Quest 2011.
“The latest twist is an attempt to highlight anonymous threats against leftist scholar and strategist Frances Fox Piven as a way of forcing Glenn Beck, a critic of Piven, off the air, or at least prohibiting him from mentioning her on his Fox News television show
It is extraordinary that conservatives should be charged with stirring up violence at a moment when Piven, in an editorial in The Nation, has called for an American movement of “strikes and riots” on the model of the one recently seen in Greece.
Yet it is not conservatives but Piven and The Nation who advocate violence. Neither Piven nor The Nation should be forcibly silenced, but they certainly ought to be criticized. Instead, The Nation is leading the effort to silence those who have rightly condemned Piven’s call for rioting in America.
An article by Brian Stelter in Saturday’s New York Times is a thinly disguised gesture of support for The Nation’s campaign. “

Unfortunately the revolt has started. Since the collapse of 2008, the average American was appalled by the reckless leveraging, selling mortgage backed securities as AAA papers when they were not, liar loans, etc etc etc. Sure gov had a hand in it, but the bankers took advantage of gov stupidity to the max and were willing to create a destructive bubble that crippled the economy. Remember according to free markets this was not suppose to happen because businessmen are suppose to remember the need for long term thinking. Greenspan even admitted that he never expected corporate types and bankers to be willing to create a bubble, make fantastic short term profits, pull out before the system collapses and not care that the banking system no longer exists anymore while the schemers run off with the loot leaving the unsuspecting investor and ultimately the taxpayer holding the bag. As more people lose hope in getting jobs, and the youth have no future the ingredients for a revolt or backlash at corporate bankers grows. The left has grabbed onto this political anger, and the unions are joining it. In last banking crisis (S&L) over 900 bankers, investors and staffers faced fines, revoked license, prison and etc. Today those laws were repealed by Congress so no prosecution is possible except in a few handful states under local laws. In the past middle America saw justice, today no one went to jail and the execs responsible are bailed out and getting bonuses. The left are the only ones willing to confront the bankers in the street and give it to them in the shorts. Question is will middle America support them because no one will provide justice for the destruction of the US economy. I don’t like the left but I am not going to risk my butt protecting the bankers either.
On the flash mobs I bet we see many people die soon as a gun owner in one of the flashed businesses shoots away and becomes a hero in the minds of we the people.
I live in NY and believe me these idiots are only supported by the hard left in the media. The cops are all against them so are most people.
This dumb attempt to start somethign up by Obama is a failure and as Levin said today on his program it will backfire on them all as we the people are not amused and see right through it.
Plus, we have the 2nd and are all incredibly armed. :) Thank God for the wisdom of the founders.
America will not fall, and I have to add after the elections, even with the dead democrats voting O is toast.
He can’t fake what will be needed even if the election were held today.

Riots in every major city will drastically decrease economic activity.
I do- his trip there was to prove to his higher-ups that he was capabale of it. When they lose the election, and lose big; they’ll riot and demand a coalition government just like the losing party did there.
What we are seeing is the dying gasps of liberalism that has been trying to enslaved America.
But that’s part of the plan. These Christian clergy will be forced to resign and replaced with someone of less moral conviction. The same will happen with the officers- those of conservative bent will either be washed out or retire, and homos will be promoted to positions of authority.
That’s the plan, anyway.
I think you’re right Biggirl.
The vast majority of Americans will look at this and see it’s all happening on Zero’s watch.
He’s done.
The bankers are pirates by nature. Their piracy is hemmed in and meliorated by an actually free market. Starting with Carter and ramping up with Clinton- he actually put teeth behind Carter’s law- the government essentially told the bankers that the government was requiring them lend into their own bankruptcy. The bankers, being smart businessmen but also pirates, at first, as businessmen that wanted their companies to survive, resisted, then when they got slapped down, being constitutionally pirates, they looked at each other and said Make Hay While The Sun Shines. And they are making hellacious hay.
I believe that.
