This is a rebuttal to a hit piece posted about Glenn Beck on OpEd news.
Glen Beck mires any truth given in over the top emotional pleas. He then passes them off to right leaning Americans with underactive physicality and overactive adrenal glands. He wants Americans to distrust government.
The stone truth is Americans no longer need his assistance.
Public marginalization is obvious. No one has to tell us twice Washington isn't listening. When the US Congress whips out the federal check book for Wall Street, wars, agencies and services that are dragging our children into federal indentured servitude, gagging our rights of sedition with an overindulged military, and allowing public officials guilty of heinous international crimes to walk as free men, we already know who not to trust.
The average American might actually try to accept more personal responsibility for how things are run in this country. When they put their heads down and went to work allowing government to "do it's thing", it didn't go so well. They are recognizing it is not necessary to cede power to another simply because a government says you are not qualified to run your own life.
Mainstream media has done a bang up job of misreporting, underreporting, not reporting and obfuscating any credible threats to our health, humanity and future with duality in political opinion. There is only so far you can drag the infinite lines of fear before people realize, as they pursue a direction, circumstances never change. Mainstream media underestimates the intelligence and the insights of the American soul. In short - they insult our intellect with Glenn Beck and his counterpundits with a marginally better line of rhetoric.
They are losing their audience to the Internet.
While piloting the Internet, we seek answers to questions we have about circumstances in our world. No one helps control or "shape" our worldview more than we do on our own.There usually isn't a filter for "ye shall not know this" when it comes to the Internet. Bloggers become independent newsmakers and noisemakers, watchdogs and whistleblowers, patriots and pundits of their own narratives. We find out on our own what's happening in our world and we turn and tell the next guy.
Unfortunately, for Net Neutrality propellerheads and Cyber Security hawks, government has not been invited to drive by free market proponents and high tech innovators at large. Government is the last resort in the wild west of the Internet. Internet is self-service at it's finest and no permission slips are required. When you do it yourself - there are no naysayers, no editors, no string pullers and no censorship. It is a perspective pirates dream of sailing free from being truncated by FOX news mutilators.
Which is why we can explore and search the darkest corners of our political hemisphere regardless of the horrors we uncover. There are facts surrounding globalism, depopulation and eugenics policy marbled profusely through the academic community on the Internet. Facts can be found in policy white papers and libraries, in online legal communities and coalitions if you must know about DNA captures for babies, human experimentation, FEMA camps or political systems heavily invested in killing hundreds of thousands of their citizens.
Whether Glenn Beck says anything has become more or less irrelevant because we can find out what we need to know on our own.
As we are smart, we don't have to let anyone do the questioning or thinking but us.
