Silencing Voices Like Glenn Beck's

Glenn Beck at Fox News is convinced that the Obama administration, Congressional Democrats, and others on the Left are engaged in a concerted effort to silence his and other conservative voices.

And he has good reason to think so.

The group that has seized total power in America today has made it clear from the beginning that they want to curb the influence of conservative talk radio, Fox News, liberty-oriented bloggers, and anyone else that dares question or criticize their oppressive plans.

According to Newsbusters, Beck stated on his late-afternoon Fox News program that government is raging out of control. From the article:

Beck encouraged his viewers to use word-of-mouth to rein the government back in and implored viewers not to pick based on party affiliation.

"And after we provide it to you, it is up to you to use your voice," Beck said. "They can move mountains. Tell your friends, spread the word - because despite the talk of all the change that we have heard over the past couple of years from both parties, that is the last thing they actually want to do."

Beck, never one to pull any punches when it comes to these sort of pleas, warned the consequences of not speaking out would not allow for a change of course and eventually could lead to the "silencing" of himself, "The O'Reilly Factor" host Bill O'Reilly and conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh.

"The status quo is what gives them their status. It is what brings them to power and self-importance," Beck said. "Use your voice while you still have it. I tell you, with everything in me, I think they are going to silence voices like mine and Bill O'Reilly and Rush [Limbaugh] and everybody else - they will silence us. They can't let us continue to speak out. When the government is trying to influence what kind of syrup a restaurant uses, do you really think they're going to have a problem regulating opinion? Please."

One of the things that sent Beck into this urgent warning is a plan by Obama to offer free tuition, provided by the federal government, to college students if they agree after they graduate to 'engage in service to the government.'

Bribe--brainwash--enslave.

If they somehow manage to knock us off talk radio, we can operate pirate short-wave stations. If they knock us off the Internet, we can go to private BBS's. If they take our access to a freely published press away, we can go to private mailings.
They have gotten so many, so pissed, for so long, that I think, hope, and pray that their blatant power garb will be their undoing.

uh huh, dr. jim, except I don't know how to do most of that. I don't even know what BBS's are.

straightarrow said...

What's your problem with the way they dress, and what is power garb, electric zippers? :)

SA, you are a hoot! LOL.
Jim, smack him.

Hey, you guys have taught me a lot about firearms, tactics, ethics, and a lot of other things. I'd be glad to teach *my* specialties to any of you.
I might only be a "Rifleman, Basic", but when it comes to tech stuff, I wear a couple of stars.

Welshman said...

Jim, just be sure to explain your techee stuff for SA's sake. He might blow a gasket.

As for me, I just scratch my head wondering what that is, and pretending I know...

Chuckle, Chuckle!
Private BBS's are Private Bulletin Board Systems. They're limited to "dial-up" access, but can be very secure. It's what we used in days of old before the Internet got so popular. You can also set up very secure websites and forums that are "Invitation Only", and there's also the "Dark Internet" way of doing things, similar to how the various criminal activity sites are run where they swap credit card numbers and such.
No, I've never done any activity of that type, but if you know networking, they're trivially easy to set up.
The more we get hammered on, the more we go underground. Always been that way, and probably always will....

Welshman said...

Yep. This is what I've always preached to gun control nuts. The more they hammer us with restrictions on firearms, the more we will simply go underground. One way or another, we have no intention of giving up our rights.
