I have been thinking about Glenn Beck’s statements on February 16th concerning patriots who do not support the traitors who overthrew the Old Republic. I disagree with Mr. Beck on multiple points: I cannot abide his infatuation with Abraham Lincoln, most of his theatrics and his acceptance of the coup. I also know that he provides information that is valuable and true.
Has Mr. Beck been wrong in the past? He definitely was an anti-Trumper initially but after Trump became President and he evaluated his actions, Mr. Beck admitted his mistake.
I want to take each of his points and address them.
If you are anti-government, I am not with you.
Mr. Beck needs to clarify anti-government. Our Constitution was written to limit the federal government so that it would not become tyrannical. Not only has the country become tyrannical, the Old Republic was stolen and replaced with a system antithetical to what our founders intended.
Am I anti-Constitutional? An irrelevant question since the Old Republic has fallen to traitors who were and are against the Constitution. If Mr. Beck supports the current fraudulent government of this country, then he is my enemy.
If you are burn the whole place down, I am not with you.
BLM and Antifa are the only organizations that are literally burning down the country. And the traitors in charge are aiding this destruction of property and justice. If Mr. Beck is making a statement that belonging to either of these groups is not acceptable, I agree. If Mr. Beck is making a statement that he is not with anyone who wants to overthrow the Constitution, that has already been accomplished.
I do not want to burn down anything. I want to build or in our case, rebuild a country as our forefathers intended. I want our history and culture to be remembered and cherished. I want our children to know that the Great Experiment would only succeed if the people understood and cherished Liberty.
I think Mr. Beck needs to clarify what burning the whole place down means and to whom it applies based on actions. It is much harder to rebuild from the ashes, but I have no doubt that the Lord will guide our actions with Divine Providence. If we listen to Him.
If you are, we gotta get attention, we gotta do something, I am not with you.
It seems to me that the only people on our side who want to get attention are those using us for political gain. A great example was how Mark Meadows used his power to influence the election in North Carolina’s 11th House District election by “anointing” Lynda Bennett as his replacement. The people rejected his scheme and elected Madison Cawthorn in a landslide. Who do you know that wants attention other than alphabet agency infiltrators trying to entrap people?
How many times have people said “We need a leader”. Does this sound like a movement for personal attention? Everyone in the country knows something is wrong. We are all frustrated and feel like we have to do something to correct it.
I agree that the motivation for personal attention will not solve our crisis. I also agree that wanting to do something is not an effective strategy. There are “things” that you can do:
a. Take you money out of the stock market and banks.
b. Go Galt – do not participate in Communism.
c. Buy supplies and barterable goods.
d. Trust in the Lord with all of your heart.
Again, I wish Mr. Beck would clarify this statement.
In fact, you are an enemy of mine and an enemy of the Republic. Your actions will lose Freedom for all time. I want to make that really clear.
To be frank, I do not care what other people think of me. All of my actions are directed with one goal in mind: I want to hear “arise good and faithful servant”. I would rather people have a good opinion of me and feel that I act with Sacred Honor. But I never act based on how other people will perceive me or my actions.
Mr. Beck needs to clarify his definition of the Republic. If he is referring to the Old Republic under the Constitution, welcome to our side. The Lord gives us freedom and no one can take it away. Mr. Beck meant Liberty which we have lost for us and our children. But not for all time.
Our forefathers knew the difference between Liberty and freedom. Patrick Henry would never have said “Give me freedom or give me death” as it would make no sense. They also knew the difference between a Republic and a Democracy. It is these twists of definitions that are used to cancel our culture and divide us.
The enemy is intertwined throughout our government (at every level). The forces of darkness arrayed against us may require a hot civil war but make no mistake, we are now in a war of good vs. evil. I believe that God is in control and we will continue our period of bondage until will turn back to Him.
As for those who try to manipulate, mislead and control us, you are the enemy who is burning down the country and defying God’s will.

Well said David. Beck needs to clarify himself. I personally think he has presented some great information in the past. However, he does tend to be a fence rider & speaks many times in generalities I feel. I don’t know if this is out of self preservation or some other motive.
I guess time will tell if the United States of America wants to be a Republic as founded or just another third world country under the boot of tyrannical elites. I’m going to continue to have faith in our Republic, with or without Beck.
I believe there are a lot of people operating under normalcy bias that we are still a republic. Beck is one.
This is the reason it’s so hard to get unity in thought and action.
Long ago the republic was lost, as is Rule of law. We can argue about when, but it’s obvious to most of us who read here, it’s gone.
We who live under the tyrannical portion of this anarcho-tyranny wish to not only remove the mandates of jabs and the new world order of currency, but government at every level needs scaling back. Most especially Fedzilla.
We are ‘counter-revolutionaries” i believe, Ann Barnhardt clarified this once in one of her essays.
Government has lost consent of the governed, which is why Trudeau and so many others are freaking out.
“Those who refuse to be governed by God, will be ruled by tyrants.” -- William Penn
We are LIVING THIS. As Drenegade said better than I.
Canada’s Justice Minister Says Trump Supporters Should Worry About Having Their Bank Accounts Frozen Did the demented puppet biden also advise him on this? Is biden and his handlers seeing how this plays out to implement this here? I think so, they have already classified half of the American citizens terrorists. I do not think beck is a trustworthy spokesman for liberty.
I wonder if Biden announces during the SOTU the frozen bank accounts here as some sort of new anti-terrorist push. I bet this is all they can talk about, the domestic terrorist threat here.
Yes I agree.
Excellent response…thank you! Beck is and has been a “tool” of the elite. He attended Yale and hung around the “Skull & Bones” crowd and those connections approached him after years of being an FM Rock-Jock as a younger version of Rush to attract and corrupt the younger crowd…80-90% truth and 10-20% mis-direction. He co-opted and destroyed the Tea Party Movement. Once he becomes involved in conservative movements it implodes, that’s his mission. How many on-air personalities have endured 25 years even when their show was a loss leader? Beck continues to be propped-up for a reason…to create the illusion he’s a conservative, the radio version of Q…and he’s well compensated: In 2022, Glenn Beck’s net worth was estimated to be $250 Million. Glenn Beck makes a salary of about $20 Million Per Year.
I believe you are right. Even dear Rush was controlled opposition. I mourn his death as I frequently listened to Rush but I know he never told the whole truth. I hope he was saved before his end of life.
Glenn touts the Republic and the Founders and yet with those comments, spits in their faces. Just before the famous liberty or death comment, Patrick Henry says “Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery?” Does that sound like someone who wants to work with a party that since it’s inception had continually tramples the Constitution (yes the Republican party)? How about Thomas Jefferson, we all know he just wanted to get along work with Tyrants. Glenn is the enemy. Not only politically, but an enemy of Christ. If this all was to end, he would be out of a lot of money. Think about it and his motives.
“We have petitioned; we have remonstrated; we have supplicated; we have prostrated ourselves before the throne, and have implored its interposition to arrest the tyrannical hands of the ministry and Parliament. Our petitions have been slighted; our remonstrances have produced additional violence and insult; our supplications have been disregarded; and we have been spurned, with contempt, from the foot of the throne. In vain, after these things, may we indulge the fond hope of peace and reconciliation. There is no longer any room for hope. If we wish to be free² if we mean to preserve inviolate those inestimable privileges for which we have been so long contending if we mean not basely to abandon the noble struggle in which we have been so long engaged, and which we have pledged ourselves never to abandon until the glorious object of our contest shall be obtained, we must fight! I repeat it, sir, we must fight! An appeal to arms and to the God of Hosts is all that is left us!”
Yeah sounds like today.
Excellent Thomas.
Good post and right on !
I had a thought this morning as I was reading in the book of Hebrews, and considering the state of affairs in the world. “Would that believers in the Lord Jesus Christ were as convicted to avoid compromise with sin as they are contact with the CCP virus. How different would the witness of the Church be if we put as much faith the Cross as in masks”.
While I don’t want to say I speak for Glenn Beck, I have listened to him for many years. His statements taken on face value would require further clarification. From what I’ve heard him say in the past 1) He is a respecter of government for without it, there is anarchy. 2) As a Mormon, he practices Biblical values and would prefer to be a peacemaker. He does not cheer on behavior that would “burn the place down” or cause more harm. We have methods of protesting that are supposed to work. 3) as for “We gotta do Something,” again, it’s more about peaceful protest I think for him. Methods like Antifa or BLM are the antithesis of peaceful protest. We should strive to have discourse without becoming unruly.
In the years that you have listened to him have you done much researching about the cult of Mormonism? It is good to know what their true beliefs are. If he is a true Mormon he hopes to one day, after his life on Earth, attain godhood, have his own planet, and goddess wives by whom he will create spirit children. He also would believe that God (Father God) was once a man just like he is now and has a body of flesh.
A very well put piece as are the comments.
I do not put trust in Beck. How could I? He is a Mormon. He is not a Christian. i may sound like a stuck record here but I must speak the truth in love. Mormons have a theology that does not align with Christianity. I have done my homework. I know what Mormonism teaches and it is not Christianity. I do not dislike Mormons but I dislike the lies of Mormonism. How can two walk together if they do not agree?
From Mr. Beck’s own scriptures:
>http://scripturebrowser.com/Browse/DC/DC/134/5,7
5 We believe that all men are bound to sustain and uphold the respective governments in which they reside, while protected in their inherent and inalienable rights by the laws of such governments; and that sedition and rebellion are unbecoming every citizen thus protected, and should be punished accordingly; and that all governments have a right to enact such laws as in their own judgments are best calculated to secure the public interest; at the same time, however, holding sacred the freedom of conscience.
7 We believe that rulers, states, and governments have a right, and are bound to enact laws for the protection of all citizens in the free exercise of their religious belief; but we do not believe that they have a right in justice to deprive citizens of this privilege, or proscribe them in their opinions, so long as a regard and reverence are shown to the laws and such religious opinions do not justify sedition nor conspiracy.
This is about sedition.
I read it as: we are bound to honor the law, as long as the law is protecting our rights. But when the government breaks that contract with our rights, we have no duty to honor them in their positions.
Beck is a shill for the other side. Always has been. Stop putting faith in someone just because he claims to share your faith.
Agree.
Discernment in all respects.
In this world of lies and deceit people seem to ‘want’ to believe the worst in everyone and every thing they are turning into cain -- abels.
