The Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA) has internment compounds
placed strategically around the United
States. These will be used as
concentration camps when anarchy reaches
a critical point in America and the
world. This sort of warning has been at
the heart of fear-filled emails I’ve
been receiving for the past seven years,
at least.
Today, the trepidation concerning the
likelihood of the collapse of America
and the world issues daily from a
populist mouthpiece. There are others,
but Glenn Beck fills the role as chief
forecaster of impending doom. He says
frequently that we will awaken one
morning and find that America has
changed. We won’t recognize the nation.
It will happen just that swiftly, and
the transformation will involve, among
other things, probable hyper-inflation
that will make money valueless for most
people in America. This means that the
entire world will follow suit. Global
depression, we infer, will be the plight
of all but the ultra rich of the
world–the George Soroses, etc.
Based upon Beck’s dire suppositions,
we consider things to come. Just how far
into the future all of this evil lurks,
Beck doesn’t know. However, based upon
the rapid movement in economic
uncertainties, it is likely, he implies,
that it will happen sooner rather than
later. That new dawning–or perhaps
“nightfall” is the more apropos
term--will be bleak, he predicts. The
dollar will have fallen as the reserve
currency for most of the world’s
economies. Entire bank accounts will be
wiped out, in that their contents likely
won't be sufficient to feed a family for
a day, much less for longer. Governments
will be forced to cut social programs of
every sort–completely eliminating them
in most cases. Rioting will explode
while those on welfare roll and others
used to government largesse will turn
violent. The big inner cities will be
particularly hard hit.
If the lessons learned from Hurricane
Katrina in New Orleans can serve as
example, looting and violence might well
be the order of such changed way of life
on that terrible day after the
transformation forecast by Glenn Beck
occurs. The sorts who looted during the
devastating hurricane will almost
certainly spill into the suburbs, then
into the countryside, pillaging for food
and anything else that strikes their
fancy.
Riots in the streets of Greece,
Spain, and most recently in London,
brought about by governments imposing
austerity measures on money spent on
social programs, present a foreboding
picture of how things in the U.S. might
look within twenty-four hours of an
economic collapse such as Beck and
others fear. In the United States, the
very thought of what might take place
when government handouts are cut off
caused Indianapolis, Indiana, city
officials to bring in greatly increased
law enforcement when officials were
about to announce that unemployment
payments would not be extended.
So daunting are the prospects that
even Beck stops short of delving too
deeply into what such a changed
world--catastrophically lacking in food,
electricity, appropriate sewage
treatment, and clean drinking
water--would mean to Americans. But such
change, he forewarns, is coming...and
soon. It is coming, he says, because of
the internationalist elitists who want
that transformed world through which to
rule over the rest of us–a "New World
Order," as George Soros, Henry
Kissinger, Zbigniew Brzezinski, and even
George H. W. Bush and other champions of
globalism have termed it.
Presidents have for decades been
leading America into the globalist
economic arena. No chief executive has
observably been more determined to meld
the U.S. economy with the rest of the
world than Barack Obama. He said in a
speech in Mumbai, India, regarding his
desire to take America into the global
economic model, "This will keep America
on its toes. America is going to have to
compete. There is going to be a
tug-of-war within the US between those
who see globalization as a threat and
those who accept we live in an open,
integrated world, which has challenges
and opportunities."
Obama stated further that
unemployment within the U.S. that might
result from global economic integration
is going to be the “new normal.” It is
just something we are all going to have
to get used to.
Most every proponent of this move
into globalism comprehends that the
process of merging the American economy
into the one-world configuration they
desire will be painful for U.S.
citizens. Wages will go down. America’s
living standard will fall, according to
the globalists. Americans will face a
struggle in the course that must be
taken to reach parity for all of the
world community. This is just a fact of
life, according to those who know best.
President Obama himself says that the
nation’s economy might “not be fixed for
quite some time.”
Again, if I hear him right, Glenn
Beck believes this change will be, for
Americans, an instantaneous fall into an
abyss of economic depression, not a slow
slide into the poor house. He presents
an almost fatalistic scenario,
concerning our not being able to stop it
from happening overnight. He urges all
who will listen to prepare for the
coming, contrived collapse of the
American and world economies.
He says, at the same time, that he
believes Americans have what it takes to
thwart this drive toward New World
Order–this effort to return to Babel. He
indicates that he believes fervor for
patriotism at the level of that of the
founding fathers can reignite a
foundational movement to restore sanity
to government, economy, and
culture/society.
At a rally in Washington DC, he threw
some spiritual/religious verbiage into
the mix of his exhortation to take back
America: "Something that is beyond man
is happening. America today begins to
turn back to God. For too long, this
country has wandered in darkness."
Sounds like Beck is onto something
there, doesn’t it? Let’s look more
deeply into where that might be leading
next time.
