Glenn Beck on All the President’s Men
Glenn Beck has been doing much of the heavy lifting on exposing the radical leftwing advisors with whom Barack Obama has surrounded himself since taking office – and before. (FSM Contributing Editor Cliff Kincaid aids him in this effort here.)
Who are these people? And why should Americans question their background and intentions, along with those of the president? Taking a lot of flak for his investigations into these disturbing issues, Beck is truly doing a great service to his country by doing what every American should: question authority.
Below is a partial transcript from Beck’s show earlier this week where he discusses five of Obama’s controversial, unelected, unvetted and unaccountable “czars” with gargantuan budgets and why their presence in the White House should be of enormous concern to all of us:
“If you truly ask what Jefferson called honest questions, with a sincere heart, the answers may take you to very uncomfortable places.
Nobody wants to think our president is a bad guy; President Obama actually seems like a likeable guy. And he may be the greatest guy ever. But is he in step with you and what you believe this country is?
When you hear the evidence, you have a decision to make: Will I bury my head in the sand, refusing to believe because it doesn't fit my agenda or my comfort level? Or will I hold to the truth whatever it is, so I may be a part of the solution and not an enabler to the problem.
On Monday night's show, I asked the tough questions on the president's special advisers — his ‘czars.’ They have the ear of the president of the United States; we should know more about them. What are they telling him? Does he listen to them? Who are they?
The first one we talked about was Van Jones — a self proclaimed radical, revolutionary Communist; a man who co-founded an organization, whose own concluding documents said:
‘Mobilizing young people of color into militant direct action — and combine it with more deeply-rooted organizing in our communities.’
When we asked the White House if they knew about Jones' radical roots and if it gave them pause to make him a special adviser, the White House told us he was ‘focused on only one issue.’
That is not an answer to the question. And beyond that, he's a Communist… focused on job creation? What jobs does a communist create?
Let me continue to ask: Who has the president surrounded himself with?
We already know of at least five radical leftists currently advising our president — and these are just the ones who are open about their radical beliefs and far-left ideas:
• Van Jones, green jobs ‘czar’ — admits he's a communist
• John Holdren, science ‘czar’ — proposed ‘compulsory sterilization’ and forced abortions to control population
• Cass Sunstein, regulatory ‘czar’ — proposed bans on hunting and eating meat and proposed that your dog to be allowed to have an attorney in court. And a fairness doctrine for the Internet, which he has since stepped away from
• Carol Browner, global warming ‘czar’ — was part of Socialist International, a group for ‘global governance’
• Ezekiel Emmanuel, health care adviser — proponent of the Complete Lives System, which puts relative values on people’s lives based mostly by age
How many Marxists, communists and anti-capitalists do you have around you on a daily basis?
But President Obama doesn't just have socialists and communists advising him. On Monday night I told you about the people who helped write the stimulus: the Apollo Alliance.
Jeff Jones, one of the leaders of the Apollo Alliance, may or may not have ever advised the president — we don't know because we can't get the entrance records at the White House.
But we do know this: Jones' organization, which he chairs in New York, had a lot to do with the stimulus bill — according to Harry Reid:
‘This legislation is the first step in building a clean energy economy that creates jobs.... The Apollo Alliance has been an important factor in helping us develop and execute a strategy that makes great progress on these goals and in motivating the public to support them.’
Does the president know he's had two pretty big encounters with the founders of the Weather Underground? A group that bombed government buildings?
We asked the White House — we are still waiting on a response.
By the way, we've also told you that the White House has tried or wanted to go around the FBI to have vetting done by the White House. I would think that based on what's happening here at the White House, it's pretty important to have an outside eye vet some of the people who may be advising our president.
How many times do we have to find a Marxist, communist, socialist, a revolutionary or, what seems amazing to me, a simple anti-capitalist near, around or advising the president of the United States before we ask the question, when he promises this:
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
OBAMA: We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
Is he promising to transform us into something unrecognizable to most Americans, but not unrecognizable to Hugo Chavez [who said this]:
‘Hey, Obama has just nationalized nothing more and nothing less than General Motors. Comrade Obama! Fidel, careful or we are going to end up to his right!’
Is it un-American, hateful or outrageous to sincerely and honestly ask this question when the communist president of Venezuela says that?”
We can guarantee this is not the change most Americans wished for…far from it. Let’s just hope there is something we can recognize in our country by the time Mr.Obama and his “czars” are out of office and power.
America: continue to let your elected representatives hear your voices. Engage. Participate. Re-read the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Know your rights. Your country needs you like never before.
