Glenn Beck, Chicken Little Or Not?

For the past month I was listening to Glenn Beck at http://www.glennbeck.com/publish/themes/glennbeck/live_player

Glenn Beck had a show on CNN when I first started to listen to him then he went to Fox TV and then he started his own internet radio show because there were a lot of people that were listening to what he was saying which was that America is on the verge of going down a dark path and it’s up to Americans to prepare to save themselves by protecting the American Constitution.

His sponsors are companies like Food Insurance, Data protection services, Gold and Silver buying services and more.

His show talks about terrorism on American soil, paints people with black skin as revolutionaries and the US government acting like the SS in the old Nazi empire of 1930s Germany due to the Patriot Act.

Glenn also talks about rock and roll star Ted Nugent’s trouble with the Secret Service.

Is Glenn Beck a chicken little, a propaganda merchant or is he telling what is in store for the world.

What do you think?

Glenn Beck is an actor/entertainer (and a bad one st that) who sells stuff people don't need. He is a media hore with not one ounce of integrity.

Like most media celebrities, he has a point, he starts with a small amount of reason, and goes off from there, vanishing into wackoville.

That's not to say that he has a point - when you realize that the US gov't intercepts and monitors most internet communications, you have to think about it a bit. 'Just watch me', they said.

The US government does NOT "intercepts and monitors most internet communications". That is pure bull manure.

They do however monitor INTERNATIONAL communications between the USA and those countries most likely to harbor terrorists. They would be very foolish to NOT do that.

The exact scope of the program is not known, but the NSA is or was provided total, unsupervised access to all fiber-optic communications going between some of the nation's major telecommunication companies' major interconnect locations, including phone conversations, email, web browsing, and corporate private network traffic.

Critics said that such "domestic" intercepts required FISC authorization under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.[4] The Bush administration maintained that the authorized intercepts are not domestic but rather foreign intelligence integral to the conduct of war and that the warrant requirements of FISA were implicitly superseded by the subsequent passage of the Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Terrorists (AUMF).[5] FISA makes it illegal to intentionally engage in electronic surveillance under appearance of an official act or to disclose or use information obtained by electronic surveillance under appearance of an official act knowing that it was not authorized by statute; this is punishable with a fine of up to $10,000 or up to five years in prison, or both.[6] In addition, the Wiretap Act prohibits any person from illegally intercepting, disclosing, using or divulging phone calls or electronic communications; this is punishable with a fine or up to five years in prison, or both.[7
