Glenn Beck - The 912 Project : News From You

Thu, 18 Jun 2009 18:44:31 +0000

In under an hour I've seen it go from 22,000 to 19,000 (on the petition page) and back up to 25,000 (main page). VERY goofy indeed. But that means we've picked up 3,000 signatures in 40 minutes. That's pretty good. :)

Sorry to reply to my own post, but I just refreshed the page and saw that it's back up - minus 3,000 signatures?! What is going on here?

I'm seeing the same thing. Here's an email I just sent off to Glenn and Stu: "I've been following the petition you created based on the letter Glenn read on the air yesterday (I'm signature #31!). I clicked on the link today at around 1:00 PM, and it had 22,817 signatures - that's in a little over 24 hours. However, when I clicked back to it seconds later so that I could link to it, I got a page saying that it was "temporarily" taken down due to the heavy load it was putting on their servers. However, if you go to their main site and browse the most popular petitions at this link, http://www.thepetitionsite.com/browse-petitions, and click on the other two petitions in the top three, you will find that they are NOT blocked. Judging from the content of the rest of the petitions on the site, I'm guessing it's not at all related to traffic. I think it's politically motivated. How do we follow up on that? I'd love for you guys to call them out on the radio tomorrow or something. "In the meantime, I'm posting this on the 9/12 Project website. Together I'm sure we can turn their precious little liberal server into a weeping pile of molten metal." So, guys, what do you say? There's over 600,000 of us. Let's ALL go to the petition site RIGHT NOW and keep refreshing it until we don't even see their cute little traffic message lie anymore. :D

Glenn Beck - The 912 Project : 5/7/09: Hey Banks! How'd You Do On The Stress Test?

If Klein thinks that the solution to Chile's problems was stimulus spending, she obviously hasn't done her homework. Chile only turned around due to the privatization of the industries Allende nationalized, the reduction of foreign debt, and the implementation of macroeconomic policies design to control inflation. Stimulus spending would only increase inflation, and if we keep going the way we are now, we're going to see plenty of it. Company bailouts was also tried in Japan in the 80's. Didn't work out so well, either.

Maybe it's time for some civil disobedience. What if we all had bumper stickers that said, "Gun owners against Janet Napolitano" or something? Would they arrest ALL of us?

Why do I feel like I'm in 1970's Chile? I really hope we don't have to go down that road before we get back to sanity. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Chile#Col...

Glenn Beck - The 912 Project : 4/23/09: Why Was There So Much Drama At The GE Shareholders Meeting?

Thu, 23 Apr 2009 15:23:06 +0000

Wow, so GE is pissing off both their potential customers (who are ditching MSNBC) and their shareholders, by refusing to adopt a business model with all their business units that will help the company making more money AND slashing the dividend for the first time since 1938. This sounds like exactly the kind of "too big to fail" company that our government really needs to start investing in, because it clearly won't stand on its own.

Glenn Beck - The 912 Project : 4/20/09: Senior WH Advisor Says Tea Party Movement Is "Unhealthy"

Mon, 20 Apr 2009 18:00:49 +0000

You wanna know what's REALLY unhealthy? How about the fact that: 1) Everyone in DC and the media seems to think these tea parties are about taxes, not spending and debt, 2) Everyone at the tea parties thinks its about spending and debt, and *future* taxes, and 3) The majority of the nation - media, politicians, citizens, and possibly even some 9/12ers - does NOT understand that the real tax here is going to be INFLATION. 10% inflation is pretty much a "stealth tax" equal to a 10% tax, not just on what you *earn*, but also on what you *have*! With the Fed printing money day and night, my worry is that 10% inflation will be nothing but a pleasant memory... It's our duty to educate people that these tea parties are about spending, debt, AND taxation - stealth taxation - through inflation, and how that taxation works. Wikipedia is a great resource on the issue. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stealth_tax#Inflatio...

Glenn Beck - The 912 Project : 4/18/09: The Handshake That Has People Around The World Talking

Sat, 18 Apr 2009 13:51:53 +0000

So, Obama wants to be friends with Chavez, bows to the Saudis, apologizes to the French and the Russians (whose ex-KGB prime minister clearly has his eyes set on USSR-era power), continues and increases the long-standing practice of endebtedness to China, disavows his religion to the Turks, and wants to open up diplomatic ties with Iran (building nuclear missiles to shoot at our ally, Israel), Cuba (once pointed nuclear at us in behalf of the Russians), and North Korea (building nuclear missiles to shoot at us or our allies). I feel so safe with all our new friends, comrades, and fellow travelers out there in the world!

CNN has had YouTube take that one down due to "copyright" claims. Pyrat7's link works as of 7:05 AM on 4/18. This link ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8zNbWtl4wgM ) should also work. If not, just go to http://thepiratebay.org/4855033/Susan_Roesgen_-_W... and download it with BitTorrent.

I'm sure everyone has read about/watched the YouTube video of CNN "reporter" Susan Roesgen editorializing while masquerading as a reporter. What you might not have seen is a self-employed mom take her to task and run circles around her after the CNN cameras stopped rolling. And the reason you didn't see it? CNN made YouTube take it down, claiming copyright issues, even though it is CLEARLY not their film! Well, good luck silencing us! You can find a similar video right here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8zNbWtl4wgM And if they take THAT down, you can get it with BitTorrent. Go to http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/4855033/Susan_Roe... and download the torrent. It's slow now, but the more people download, the faster it will go.

Glenn Beck - The 912 Project : 4/17/09: WWJD?

Fri, 17 Apr 2009 13:16:10 +0000

So, did Obama request that all symbols of Islam be removed during his trip to Turkey? http://www.citizen.co.za/index/AFPData/english/sh... http://www.faqs.org/docs/factbook/flags/tu-lgflag... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbols_of_Islam I submit to you that he did not, which is blatant hypocrisy. I hate the fact that "separation of church and state" has become code for "persecution and belittling of Christian faiths." As for the WWJD question... It's pretty clear from the words of Christ himself how he feels about hypocrites. Check out Matthew 23 - it's pretty harsh stuff.

Glenn Beck - The 912 Project : 4/17/09: Hispanic Groups Call For Census Boycott

Fri, 17 Apr 2009 12:10:36 +0000

I support this move as well. In fact, I think that all liberals should boycott the census with them to show solidarity.

Solution: move to Texas. If they come after your child in your house here, you blow them away, and the only thing you'll be responsible for is the carpet cleaner's bill. ;-) Good luck with this! We're all behind you!

Put them on! And get everyone else to put them on! There's no way they can arrest EVERYONE with conservative bumper stickers! This is a PERFECT opportunity for civil disobedience!

The best way I can think of to fight them is to turn them off. Lower ratings = less ad revenue, which leads to bankruptcy. And so far, the government hasn't bailed out a news agency. So far...

Wanna see how CNN covered the Tea Parties? Check this video out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6G3fvNhdoc0 This is not journalism! A reporter cannot inject their own agenda into the story they are trying to report on. That's not journalism. That's propaganda. And the studio host seems to be right on board with that. If you think that's a bunch of crap, let them know that you and the 10,000 friends you just made at your local tea party will not be watching CNN again - ever. Call them, write them a letter, or fill out this form here: http://www.cnn.com/feedback/forms/form1.html?39 Maybe they'll learn why their ratings suck? Ah, who am I kidding... ;-)

Glenn Beck - The 912 Project : Hawaiians Get Tired Of Waiting On Washington, Take Matters Into Their Own Hands

This is EXACTLY why the founders designed a small federal government with all enumerated powers reserved for the states. On almost every issue, the state government is going to be closer to and better suited to fix the problem than the federal government. The same could be said about municipal governments and state governments, and private citizens and municipal governments. This is a triumph of free market economics - there was a need, and the market forces influenced individuals to take care of that need. Government at any level should only step in as a last resort, not as a first responder.
