2007: Glenn Beck inadvertently reveals his modus operandi:

[ZRT2209]

Beck reveals where he found his instruction book, that he now uses to make his followers hate progressives:

"I go on vacation for three days, and I decide to take my family away. And I'm there at the beach, and we're reading. And I take -- my wife takes some magazines and stuff, and we take the books for the kids, and I take The Years of Extermination. It's a new book. And I just -- 'cause it's, like, 800 billion pages thick. I'm just not going to have the time to read it. And I'm doing some research right now for some other thoughts that I have that are probably six months away from percolating.

And I'm reading this book trying to do some research. And what this book is, is how do you get people to kill people? How do you get -- not just Germany -- all of Europe to kill the Jews. To round them up and kill them. How do you do that? That's what this book is about. And it is a phenomenal..."

Phenomenal?? Odd choice of words there...

"... -- what was the first thing they did to get people to exterminate the Jews. Now, I'm not saying that anybody's going to -- you know Al Gore's not going to be rounding up Jews and exterminating them. It is the same tactic, however. The goal is different. The goal is globalization. The goal is global carbon tax. The goal is the United Nations running the world. That is the goal. Back in the 1930s, the goal was get rid of all of the Jews and have one global government."

"You got to have an enemy to fight. And when you have an enemy to fight, then you can unite the entire world behind you, and you seize power. That was Hitler's plan. His enemy: the Jew. Al Gore's enemy, the U.N.'s enemy: global warming."

So, I read this paragraph -- and I must have read it, like, five times because I just kept going, "Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh." And I think I'm in a unique situation because I've heard from so many people, you've heard from so many people calling in and saying these things on the show.

Here's how they did it. First thing they did was they found a group of scientists that believed in eugenics, which basically is, "Breed your way to better people! Eugenics! Get rid of the defects, get rid of the races that aren't so strong. Breed a master race." For as insane, as insidious, and as out-and-out evil as it sounds today, believe it or not, in the 1920s and 1930s, that was cutting-edge science. And they said, "That is the answer. We can breed a master race." That's were the master race comes from: science and scientists. It was called eugenics.

So, Hitler took the master-race idea and eugenics -- an accepted, mainstream scientific belief -- and he got all the biggest scientists to come out and say, "This is it. This is the answer. It's the damn Jews. We get rid of the Jew bloodline, and we're fixed."

Now, how did you convince all of Europe to do it? You needed to have fear. You needed to have the fear of starvation. You needed to have the fear of the whole place going to hell in a handbasket. Which -- do we have that fear now with global warming? I mean, they're telling us things in Al Gore's global warming special that are not true, that the seas will rise 20 feet. Even the U.N. says that's not true. So you got to have the fear, we're all going to die.

Then you get the scientists -- eugenics. You get the scientists -- global warming. Then you have to discredit the scientists that say, "That's not right." And you must silence all dissenting voices. That's what Hitler did. That's what Al Gore, the U.N., and everybody on this global warming bandwagon -- all the way to RFK Junior, who has called me a fascist for doing it -- all the way over to the global warming special that happened over in London a couple of weeks ago that is fantastic.

he's just beginning to learn how to use what he's read
he's ineffectively trying to cram Al Gore into the model

Beck will later get much better at framing and vilifying progressives, with the Nazi model he learned from this book.


"You got to have an enemy to fight. And when you have an enemy to fight, then you can unite the entire world behind you, and you seize power." So Beck created the Progressive enemy out of whole cloth.

"Now, how did you convince all of Europe to do it? You needed to have fear. You needed to have the fear of starvation. You needed to have the fear of the whole place going to hell in a handbasket." Food insurance, anyone? The destruction of America as we know it, anyone?

1. The RW propaganda machine is closely modelled after the Nazi's.

Using ignorance and fear to create an enemy to unite against. However, they've been doing it for decades.

3. Which is probably why they love making Nazi references.

Don't agree with something like separation of Church & State? Compare it to Hitler.

2. CNN "Headline News" gave Glenn Beck his own show, prime time every weekday evening

I will never forgive them.

4. perhaps the worst of their many stupid decisions

[Quantess]

5. Yes, perhaps. I wrote CNN off as a result. I don't know for sure if it is CNN's worst decision

since I stopped watching them during that time. I wrote letters to them telling them how that loon was ruining any shred of credibility they had-- at least 2, and at least one letter was a snail-mail letter.

Admittedly CNN had Beck on a leash. He really let his freak flag fly when he moved to FOX. But still... I will NEVER forgive or forget CNN for that.
