Former Fox News host Glenn Beck led his Restoring Courage rally in Jerusalem this week, and if you didn’t buy tickets in time, don’t worry, you’re weren’t alone.
Beck’s long-ago announced conference in the Holy Land went grossly unattended, despite claims from organizers that the event would reach capacity.
For those that did brave a swarm of protestors to hear Beck speak, they were met on Wednesday with a 90 minute diatribe of pessimism and prophecy. “The world is burning,” Beck told the crowd. “The threats are mounting. The evil is growing. Darkness is falling.”
It just goes to prove that you can knock the nut job off the air, but you can’t knock the air out of the nut job.
Among those culprits of doom, says Beck, are human rights organizations, the UN, Europe and Arab states. As one reporter from The Guardian noted, however, often Beck placed blame on an ambiguous group they he referred to as simply “them.”
Attacking human rights groups, Beck said, “They denounce nations like Israel and America and leave alone nations which have no freedoms at all. Whatever moral force they once had is spent."
He, of course, neglected to comment on Fox, the company he recently walked away from to launch his own online network. Fox is run by Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp, which has been taking away some of those freedoms of people across the globe as the media behemoth continues to be subjected to a mass hacking scandal where phone conversations were illegally obtained.
If any message was managed to be brought back from those at this week’s rally, it was that Jews need to reclaim Israel as their holy land and not let opposition keep them out. He told the crowd that some world leaders have no concern for their cause, but that those that condemn Israel are cowards that “surrender to falsehood.”
"My friends, do not lose hope. You must not lose confidence in yourselves. You must draw courage," said Beck. He told the lackluster turn-out that those who call Israel home were "led to this land by God.”
“He promised that Israel would rise again. We have seen this promise fulfilled. Israel, we have witnessed the dawn of your redemption."
Michael Novatka, a born-again Christian from Florida told the Guardian that Beck had it right. "Glenn Beck tells the truth, but the rest of the world doesn't want to hear it. I've been watching him for years, and agree with what he says. Now that he's left Fox, he's stepping it up."
Now if only we knew how much he needed to step it up before he falls right down.

what's wrong with Glen Beck? Why is he kissing Israeli rear so much these days? I suppose he correctly realizes that if he wants a future in the Media, or maybe even politics, he has to kiss the ring of those who are truly in power.
I saw Orin Hatch make a similar such pathetic public display of love and affection for the Jews, and Israel, when he sang a song he had written, the lyrics of which proclaim his wish that he had been born a Jew, so that he could be a member of the "Chosen People"...the only righteous people in the world, according to him.
Glen beck needs to grow a back bone, and take a look in the mirror. He's a white Christian, why supplicate yourself in front of those who murdered our savior?








Dare I say something pro Israeli here?
The Zionist cult is a very understandable reaction to centuries of persecution...... but the bitter irony is that it looks set to get another six million innocent ordinary Jewish people murdered by their hostile and unwilling neighbours.
If the Zionist elite were not able to control the media (and our economies and our politicians) many more Israelis would see the danger and return to their natural cultural home in the western world.
They are NOT biblical Jews for the simple reason that their ancestors have been an active and valuable part of European life for centuries.
They are in mortal danger in Israel/Palestine......so will people like Glen Beck be allowed to persuade them to return to civilisation please?
And will the Zionists who control the global financial system and our "democracies" and the all powerful media please support an orderly dignified return to the west..... rather than persecute anyone who talks sense about this mad Israeli nonsense!
