GLOOM and DOOM! Real, or conspiracy? What's your opinion?

0 votes

Yesterday, I was listening to Glenn Beck on the radio. I know, I know, I hate the way he marginalized Dr. Paul, too. That notwithstanding, he was scary in the way he was preaching gloom and doom on his show. Saying things like this...

"there is a major event coming soon, I don't know what it is but it will be big, my wife and I have prayed over it, if you haven't prepared yet, you will be screwed because now you don't have the time, there will be no food in the grocery stores, no gas, no fuel, no electric, next year America will look completely different." WOW!!

You know, I have prepared. I have a food pantry, some silver, some cash, some ammo. In doing this, I have achieved a kind of "peace" in my life.

But this media "hack" caused me to do some soul searching. What if all this "gloom and doom" is just a way to keep us, you and me, off balance? What if its just another "war on terrorism" scheme?

Here is what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna prepare, I have my "stuff" put back. I'm gonna make peace with myself and then, and then I'm gonna LIVE MY LIFE. I'm gonna be happy for my wife and kids and we're gonna get on with life. I'm not gonna be gloom and doom every day. (Although, I can make it through any disaster for about 6 months, which is cool, I guess.)

Live long and prosper. What do you guys think?

The crisis is very real.

The central banking system and the fiat money system are inherently crisis-prone.

However, the temptations of "easy money" for big government, the banking cartel and special interest groups are just too big.

"Scaring everyone straight" for ratings sake... How 'bout believing in this Country and trying to work to save it? The media is a powerful tool, unfortunately it is being wielded by only a handful of people who actually care... the re$t are out for ratings and grabbing all the $$ they can.

Fear will paralyze and then nothing can be accomplished.

dude.... what you and a some

dude.... what you and a some others on this site better understand very soon is there is no saving this country.. our last chance was to get Ron Paul elected! You had better get yourself and your family prepared! I get sick and tired of people saying.. FEAR will paralyze! the point being is LOOK at the evidence in front of you! this nations economy is going to collapse! there is no way around it! if you have not prepared for you and your family YOU WILL SUFFER! The only way they can turn this around is if the Government would come out this Sunday afternoon and say.... WE ARE CUTTING ALL GOVERNMENT SPENDING TO 20% OF TODAYS LEVELS. all troops are coming home from every base in the world.. THE INCOME TAX AND OTHER TAXES WILL BE ABOLISHED! think this will happen?? NEVER! there are to many Americans who are nothing more then a bunch of idiots!
You better embrace the Fear.... Fear is motivation! the only ones you can help ARE your own family.. Prepare for the far side of the crisis.. when we come through the cleanse, there will be a time to rebuild! that is where we focus!

How is it too late?

Re: if you haven't prepared yet, you will be screwed because now you don't have the time

As far as I know, I can still go buy food, ammo, silver, gold, guns, gas, etc. So don't everyone go freak out. Yes, go and prepare, but don't freak out.

You are so right

Prepare for the worst, hope for the best.

All the uncertainty serves to keep us paralyzed, we are afraid to act appropriately in the present.
I have no use for Glenn Beck. He is a globalists tool. He says things that are being said among the awakened, he seems to give expression to those thoughts we dare not speak aloud. But, he undermines the resolve of the remnant. He sows seeds of dissent in unlikely ways. And I will be very surprised to ever learn that he is a sincerely God-fearing man. I think it is just window dressing for his NWO mission.

Just read Atlas Shrugged

If you want to know how the collapse of America will progress, just read Atlas Shrugged. The author lived through the same collapse in Russia and did a good job explaining the "everyday" things you will be hearing as things get worse. When I read the book it was amazing because even though it was written over 40 years ago the politicians are saying the *exact same things* that she has them saying in the book. It's scary how predictable these statists are.

i am glad you said this...

we MUST remember history or we are doomed to repeat it...

i have not read Atlas Shrugged...i have, however, read The Fountainhead and was completely engulfed in it from beginning to end...you have pushed me over the edge now, i must read Ms. Rand's masterpiece...thank you for the analogy about the state of affairs today

This should be a wake up call...

If people like beck and biden are stating that "we will be tested" or that "something big is going to happen", then they must know all about it. They have inside information about another false flag operation that will be carried out by the United States government to put more fuel on the war of terror.

When does Glenn Beck

start on FOX news? Anyone know?

Why Fox?!

That makes no sense. Why would he go from CNN, a place where he actually has a chance of inserting libertarian ideas into the minds of Democrats, to Fox? Fox isn't exactly libertarian but at least they get the economic part for the most part and aren't exactly keen on government. I don't care how much money Fox is offering him, he would do much greater good at CNN.

he also said during his show that day...

that he went to faux news because he believed they would watch and cover his "back" more than cnn...apparently, he felt as though no one at cnn would back him up on his views...hmmmm, will faux? sounds kinda fishy to me...

Glenn Beck is an Entertainer

These guys do whatever they do to keep their audience. Glenn has his audience and he'll pander to them just like the rest of the talking bobble-heads pander to their respective audiences.

Socialists are Everywhere

Does anyone have an idea of what

sort of major event he's referring to?...Biden said something along the same lines....

Maybe cival unrest

leading to Martial Law, a gut feeling.

well, let's see.

we are living in a time, where 95% of our fellow countrymen do not know what form of government we have or what type of currency we use.
we are fighting 2 endless "wars". major banks are collapseing left and right, the FED is spending TRILLIONS and won't tell anyone where the money is going. 2 major auto makers are on the brink of disaster and looking for a handout. we have shipped our manufactering base overseas and become a consumer based economy. with a fiat currency. [can you say. fat prima donna?] we do not know what the weather is going to do next week but are SURE we know what it will do decades from now. people think carbon dioxide is a pollutant instead of a nutrient.
people think it is perfectly OK for the damaged upper 20% of a building to fall through the undamaged and far stronger lower 80%, at near freefall speed. [and not even leave a pile of rubble at the bottom]
we are fighting a war on terrorism, which is really just a nice way to say radical muslims, and have just elected our first black president who just so happens to have a muslim sounding name.
we have supposedly passed "peak oil" and don't have any real alternatives yet. our population is increasing exponetially but nobody is talking about it.........the detroit lions have not won a game all season and budweiser is now owned by foreigners.

Agree

I too have been listening to Glen, he has been saying what I feel to my very soul. Gloom and Doom I say.

Yes, this is all frightfully true...

and we are facing the ramifications of those truths daily...

breathe deeply, prepare, and get ready to kick some nwo/cfr ass!!!

whatever uniform they wear, they will all go DOWN!...or, WE will go down fighting...

Who the hell are "THEY" ?

It seems like each "they" which is referred to on this forum is a different "they" than the "they" referred to by someone else.

There was a song ... went something like this:

They're coming to take me away-hey, hey.
They're coming to take me away !

I think it was about paranoia.

Instead of constantly referring to "they", can people not clearly state the name of the entity that is the cause of their paranoia ?

There is an over-abundance of "they"s.

why won't you face the truth?

you KNOW who "they" are just as sure as you shit yellow when there is a loud knock at your door!

"they" are the NWO/CFR bought and paid for politicians that rule our country no matter what the vote in congress..."they" are the FED elite, the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund controllers that we have been supporting for generations...your great great grandfather supported them as you do, with the unconstitutional taxes levied every year on all of your labor...the Rothschilds, the Rockefellers, et al

as in the words of RP, "make fun, buddy"...

ecorob,

jshowell's response, to which you said "Good answer", was much better than yours.

And apparently, you didn't read my acknowledgment of js's answer, or yours would have been superfluous.

whatever you say, vlbc...

i saw you ask people to identify who "they" were when you (should) know damn good and well who "they" are...and, if you don't you are either playing headgames, too stupid, too dumb, or too ignorant to matter, or really still in the dark which, i don't fault anyone for that but i don't think you are still in the dark...

js...gave a great answer to those who might not actually know that nearly all of our politicians are bought and paid for hacks of the nwo

you, however, have been here long enough to know so quit mucking up the thread with YOUR superfluous, timewasting comments

O Captain, My Captain, rise up and hear the bells!

I just asked if people could be a little more specific about which of the many unpopular entities on this forum is the target of their statements. “They” is often too all-inclusive.

“They” are trying to take control of all of the money in the world, and “they” are going to come after your gold and silver.
“They” are attempting to turn you into a slave.
“They” are going to round you up, and lock you up in a FEMA camp.
“They” are going to shoot you on the street.
“They” are going to de-populate the world, by the use of chemtrails, mind-altering drugs, and other nefarious means.

Why is it that you, and others on this forum, feel the need to respond to comments or questions which you don’t like, or don’t agree with, by lashing out at the person, calling them “stupid”, “dumb”, “ignorant”, or throwing out other totally unnecessary, and uncalled-for, comments such as “shitting yellow when there’s a loud knock on your door” ?

Is that intended to make you come across as superior, or maybe macho ?

Some people may be impressed by that kind of attitude … me, not so much.

If the biggest earthquake in history doesn’t kill us all today …

... Have a good day !

That's a good question

Even if it's wrapped in sarcasm. There's alot of different names for the organizations that seek to destroy free will. The best grouping I can come up with is those without a conscience are "they". In other words, those people who think it's better to kill a few children to get their goals acheived are "they".

Just like liberty lovers, "they" can't be corralled into a small tent. Here are few of their "tribes" (some of which are larger conglomerations of tribes, or just different names for the same tribe):
-Globalists
-Zionists
-Fabian Marxists
-Trotskyites
-NeoCons
-Jesuits
-Freemasons
-Luciferians

I'm sure I'm missing a few, but tribe names don't really matter besides tracing their actions over time. And I'm also not saying people who join these tribes are "they"-its just some of "them" use secret societies as a cover for thier actions. The real problem is their ideology of nihilism and convert action.
