Glenn Beck and the Case of the Rockefeller Conspiracy

[TheDreadedlife]

:3 so the extreme capitalist Rockefeller is now a socialistic communist? Wow big jump from owning a monopoly to becoming a dirty commie.

[dibinism]

*gasp* A symbol promoting peace and co-operation between all the peoples of the world! How awful!

Who takes this guy seriously?

[SicSemperSerpentis]

One of the communist goals that crypto-jew rockefeller assisted was discrediting the bible. Thomas Chalmers in 1814, before Darwins theories were accepted, proved that genesis 1:2 is supposed to say "the earth had become without form and void". Thus the bible merely said the Aryan race was 10 000 years old, like i explained before other races are pre-adamic and jews descend from Satan. God put an enmity between Satan's seed and Adams (gen 3:15), which basically means there is a racial holy war.

[SicSemperSerpentis]

Rockefeller has a jewish ancestor. He wrote that he wanted a nation of workers and not thinkers. He was a big part in movements dedicated to freeing niggers. Rockefeller paved the way for modern progression which is supposed to end with the extermination of the white race. Jews are not Israelites, that's the biggest lie ever told, Aryans are Israelites and Adam was only the father of a new white race, jews descend from Cain, Son of Satan and other subhumans are previous creations.

[earlsworld70117]

I think Beck is a phony but the user is a douche bag !!

[TheOccupywallstreet]

Cool! It went through!

[TheOccupywallstreet]

I've been putting videos together but youtube isn't letting me spread it. t.h.e.t.e.a.p.a.r.t.y.t.r.u.t.­h.e.r.d.o.t.c.o.m.

[DrBandrew]

glenn beck is the only person i know who could make the face of american industrial capitalism/worker exploitation into really a face for communism...

[TheDisturbism]

Glenn Beck is an idiot.

[daverigby23]

So, let's get this right. A statuette from the USSR sits on Glen Becks desk right? So hes a communist right? It makes sense !!!!!

[pvrome98]

hey dumbasss glenn is right in everything he says and has the proof to back himself up soo srry

[TennesseeSaint]

Well you keep cutting off Glen or cut out parts of his broadcast where he states some of the things that you are saying before he says them himself. like That the mural was destroyed due to a journalist making a stink about it. The symbols that he was getting to were both the hammer and the sickle, not the hammer and wheat, but you cut him off. Hammer and sickle are not on the Nebraska, nor Delaware. The "M" shaped shovel is obviously a hoe FYI, not a hammer. I see some of your other points tho.

[MrJcrow84]

If you dont know what ur talking about, you shouldn't post videos! Everyone wants to be Joe Rogan. Keep pushing our kids with your atheist, communist, socialist,evolutionist,(all jewISH) bullshit. By the time you pull ur head out ur ass, you'll be poor and diseased and inslaved by the Khazar jews!

[dotdude1937]

The truth the loser who made the video is the dumb lost soul

[uRn1diot]

hmm

[smpunditz]

It's pretty obvious to me now that Glenn Beck is deliberately appealing to anti-semitic New World Order conspiracy theorists with the references to communism, socialism, fema camps and prominent Jews throughout history. It's only a matter of time before he slips up and says something that's going to end his career. Oh I can't wait for that.

[EcrossH]

Dear god, Glenn Beck is so fucking stupid.

[SQuiRR3LM0nk3y]

It's hard to take a Mormon serious.

[EyeAmTheIlluminati]

Gee, I wonder if it's just a coincidence that the channel owner is a stoner liberal commie neohippie faggot and the length of the video is 420.

[MakoSharkX]

@EyeAmTheIlluminati Well done, and people wonder why Canadians laugh at Americans.

[EyeAmTheIlluminati]

@MakoSharkX We laugh at Canadians because they have a socialist healthcare system that is on the verge of collapse. Oh wait, we have a similar system called fascist medicine in the U.S.

[MakoSharkX]

@EyeAmTheIlluminati You do realize that if you actually talk to Canadians... which I'm sure never occured to you, our healthcare is doing fine thankyou very much, and no people left on the street corner with IV's in their arms. And you really ought to look up the definitions of Socialist and Fascist, which no American seems to actually know.

[EyeAmTheIlluminati]

@MakoSharkX The definition of fascism, according the father of fascism himself (Mussolini) is the use of coercive government power to benefit private corporations. Under socialism, no good is excludable between private individuals. Everything is essentially free for public use, which runs against the laws of nature and thus requires authoritative structures to centrally plan everything. Both fascism and socialism require central economic planning and thus lead to the same political results

[EyeAmTheIlluminati]

@MakoSharkX The Canadian system puts more power into the public sector while American puts more into private corporations, such as insurance companies, investment banks, etc. I actually think our system is worse than the Canadians because we mix the profit motive of capitalism (which can be good to a certain extent) with the moral hazard of government protection. If you studied real economics than you would understand that a much better system is possible

[MakoSharkX]

@EyeAmTheIlluminati I agree far better systems can exist, or at least in potential, but I'd far rather have a socialized system than a private one. As you said, mixing in the profit motive is a problem.

A) I fail to see any benifit in introducing the profit motive beyind the "innovation motive" stage of treatment developement, if you run hospitals on a profit system, all you get is cut corners, and people left out.

B) I fail to see anything wrong with central planning as it is inevitable.

[DocGorilla]

OK, nevermind. I get it now, the owner if this channel is stupid as fuck.

[DocGorilla]

Stop picking on the guy who owns this channel, hes just as ignorant as most of the masses. Of course rockefeller was a socialist. Thats the part the left cannot comprehend, the richest people on earth are socialists. Like duh!

[angrydead]

Beck now associates symbols of hard wiork with communism which is appropriate considering he's never worked a days toil in his life.

[Vouk73]

I'm baffled that no one grabbed that dude and beat the shit outta him...

Not that I endorse something like that (Even when it's Beck), I'm simply surprised that he still has his nose intact.

Weird.

[doraseal]

mussolini used to be a socialist in his youth but later went on to coin the term fascism. i guess you know that there's a difference

[ross259]

It looks like a hoe to me, not a shovel or a hammer. Glen Beck is finding hidden meaning in symbolism like other wacko conspiracy theorists find the marks of the Illuminati or Reptillians or ET's or Satan or whatever. I think if he looses any more marbles he will join the ranks of moon-bats like David Icke.

[drewskione]

What is this guy smoking?

[Suzaku000]

It's a shovel shaped like BOOBS!

[dragonsder]

It honestly would not matter if Rockefeller flew Soviet flags from his mansion, what he was doing was straight up capitalism.

[Lintflas]

I really don't know whose comments are more stupid. Those from Mr. Beck or those from atybu86? Hmmm... both

[methinxaweezil]

The only way this "makes sense" is if there's a grapefruit-sized tumor in Glenn Beck's brain. Seriously, the man needs a thorough mental examination.

[QuisletEsq]

Can't Glenn Beck just jump out and yell "Boo!"

[dagmastr12]

He's going beyond stuff that's sensible into the conspiracy road, sad , I'm mean I like light shown in the the corners of government or if some nut gets appointed to something in government but art?

[surfdogdude]

To the maker of this video: Don't confuse the Rockefellers!

You show John D., but the Center was made by JR! You don't know what you are talking about!

[Chefy620]

not all "signs" are bought, he seemed overrated here, but he does mention a sickle, just to point out.

[Chefy620]

not all "signs" are bought he seemed overrated, but he does mention a sickle, just to point out.

[GoodReasonNews]

Great response antybu86, you're much more intelligent, reasonable and responsible than Glenn Beck can even understand. Thanks for this. I'm posting on my tumblr.

[dalinjs]

yeah the rockefellers are a fucking dickhead family

[WaCoproductions]

I dont see Glenn Beck's logic...ever

[CONSPIRAMAN]

Why does everyone hate the Bible, antybu68 U make out the key of a religion as to be Stupid and then youll turn around and say, Dont be racist to som white supremacist. Ure Just discrediting another group in the same way, This says little of your Character. And u wonder why america is goin downhill, because of no good passivists like u who DISS BUT DONT DO.

[TheZachish]

At 5:50



[IrishShannonTomato]

LOL ^_^ Ant Bull bebe. hilarious vid!

[CleoTheSim]

If you believe the Rockefellers were/are Socialists it's time to crack open a history book! That family has a long and well documented history of hostility towards laborers, unions, and indigenous peoples. In fact, they are just the sort of people Glenn Beck is usually madly in love with.

[usman2hype92]

@CleoTheSim Are you fucking stupid? Go watch Aaron Russo's interview about Rockefeller. Everything that the Rockefeller family does which looks "good from the outside" has a hidden evil motive. The Women's Liberal Rights was funded by the Rockefeller family. Do you know why though? This is quote from Rockefeller himself, "so we can tax half the population and get children to school at a younger age to indoctrinate them" Go learn some politics.

[CleoTheSim]

@usman2hype92 Did you read my comment? Does it look like I'm a fan of the Rockefellers? I learned plenty about them while at university. Where did you study? Billy Bob's School for Inbred Tea Baggers? Learnin' : Go get yourself some.

[NoGuyComesClose]

Glenn Beck just sucks.....There are so many other ways to point out the Rockefellers as being involved with control! The edit room and Fox news obviously are not going to put it on national news....but they will let him blab about stupid shit to the people and put the Rockefeller name behind it! Corporate Smoke!

[CitrusDistrus]

You bring up great points, but equality is not commuinst or socialist it just means a fair equal society for every man to be able to strive to become his own king.

[johnn1111111]

this channel user is fucking gay

[antybu86]

@johnn1111111 "Gay" as in happy? Or "gay" as in homosexual?

[koolaid28]

@antybu86 I think he means your lame

[surfdogdude]

@antybu86  gay as in YOU!

[BrutalGrindCoreMetal]

Lol at MC hammer

[mmcclarin61690]

whoever did this video is fuckin retard. the rockefellers are the ones controlling the bilderberg group, council on foreign relations, trilitteral commision, oil companies, and most of all the federal reserve bank. beck is a fake, but he makes a good point here. they dont hide there secret plan at all, its out in broad daylight. death to the NWO

[neobumner]

rockfellers run chase bank, exxon mobil, chevron, bildergerg group, cfr, rockfeller foundation, the population counsil, and pharmaceutical companies. They comissioned the world trade center to be built. Do you really think they don't use/abuse this seemingly unlimited power? i mean why is d.rockefeller meeting with heads of state? duh

[RagnarKraki]

He needs a dick in his mouth!

[kjkj74]

diego rivera was a fucking good artist

most artists were|are communists. writers painters musicians they all had a great connection to the left wing school of thought.

everybody knows the story of riveras mural. diego and his wife frida kahlo were both communists most of theyre work involved the workers and theyre revolution... check out some of his paintings. communist or not theyre awesome

[litstomper]

nice spin. I still love beck

[videolover61]

Stupid guy...I hate Glenn Beck's nonsense...

[bryallen1987]

Are you really as dumb as this video implies? What about the context of the video, or even the entire art piece? Much of the art shown does have Marxist symbols and was designed that way. If you still think that its impossible or even just a coincidence, why in the last painting in this video, (the one Glenn is standing in front of) can you find Marx and Linen?

[AndrewMann552]

That painting was taken down and destroyed by Rockefeller himself because Diego Rivera added Lenin. There are some vital tools known as...BOOKS!

[legolas11795]

moron. It was the painting that Nelson Rock had destroyed. The picture shown is from mexico city. moron

[TZ3k]

This is just too stupid, too ironic... Beck has to be playing a joke on everyone.

Aren't conservatives always telling us that social welfare should come from private donations and not public mandate? And here's a conservative attacking one of the uber-capitalists from the most capitalist era in the history of a capitalist country because he donated so much back to the common good?!

Beck needs to go back to being an alchoholic radio DJ.

[lamoneda77]

i hate that punk!!!

[TheGreaterSatan]

Don't tell me we're going to have another red scare, because that's just going to be really, really annoying.

[MrRyugaRyuzaki]

Oh, Glenn Beck, you HAVE to be the best closet satirist ever. I mean not even you can believe something this rediculous. Right? RIGHT?

[IlGreven]

Uhm, Rockefeller was an "enemy" of the early 20th century "progressives", who, by the way, were Republicans. My, how the GOP has fallen, from John Sherman and Teddy Roosevelt paving the way for Standard Oil's breakup, to having dullards like Glenn Beck harping that such trusts are good for America.

[IRHari]

lol I totally agree, I look at them now thinking 'THIS was the party of Lincoln????!!!'

[vicepresidentfru1tly]

"I'm trying to show you the things that seem to be hidden, but they're not! They are out in plain sight!"

And that is why Beck is America's top satirist! Hilarious!

[Inupiatun]

If he was a satirist hed act differently. Like Jon Stewart. Glenn Beck believes his own garbage and is mentally insane!

[edwdixon5]

Seriously, is he this dumb or is he just trying to scam dumb people? I really want to know.

[MrMan322]

Beck in the US

Beck in the US

Beck in the USSR

You don't know how lucky you are, boy......

Someone should tell Mr Beck that the Zeitgeist movie isn't quite as true as it and it's followers would have you believe.

Actually no, don't do that. It's funny to watch the hole he's digging get deeper and deeper.

[JetpackNinjaDinosaur]

Why...why is this called news?

[aSuperbadassninja]

good point Ninja

[Masterzec]

"Is he talking about Fox news" lol that made me laugh :D

[userjoe9066]

Nice im from Delaware Ive been watching these kinds of vids for two years and this is the first time Ive seen something about Delaware.

[antybu86]

Every time I think of Delaware, I also think of a scene from Wayne's World where they get behind a green screen and pretend that they are in different states. In Hawaii, they do the hula and wear lays. In Texas, they talk in southern accents and hold plastic guns, but in Delaware all they say is, "Hi. We're in Delaware."

[misscrissy34]

So to conclude! There is no "difference" they are all derived from one another. Except Fascism! So shut up with that one minute hes a communist the next he is a marxist the right can't make up their minds. It is fine to call him all of the above since they are all aimed in the same direction, total government control! I personally call it Obamanism because he is taking parts of all of these and creating his own twisted Government.

[antybu86]

I'm not an expert on political systems, but the thing that pops out at me is that to be considered a communist state, there needs to be a single-party government. I'm not aware of any communist state that isn't like this. And by the nature of our democratic-republic, the U.S. can never truly be a single-party state. That is, of course, unless the current government was able to make huge alterations to the constitution (but to think that might happen, you'd need to be a loon).

[misscrissy34]

Like I said, that is IF he were to want strict communism, which I believe he does not. He has shown he feels strict communism is flawed. He is showing a mixture among them all, and it is a frightening thing if you know that all these forms of government will lead to one thing, total government control. Now I am not saying Obama is completely aiming at this but he is surely setting the path for the next psycho to possibly take it to another level.

[Visfen]

@antybu86 Bah, the US is already a single-party state when it comes to a vast range of policies. There's really no different in the financial or military policies, the only difference between the parties is the rhetoric they use while out of office.

[misscrissy34]

Con't

The only one that does not fit is Fascism which is a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition

[misscrissy34]

You know, I am tired of the lefties saying how we don't know the difference between Marxism,Communism,Socialism,an­d Fascism is since those are the ones used the most to describe the road we are headed. Here is a news flash for you guys Marxism is a theory and practice of socialism. Communism is a doctrine based on revolutionary Marxian socialism. Socialism is a stage of society in Marxist theory transitional between capitalism and communism. Con't

[BEANMANOR]

How is this news?

[LastOptionPils]

They also don't know the difference between socialism and facism.

[320iguy]

the Rockefellers are the people that created the Builderburg group and the 'Illuminati' though there a different organization but are widely know as being such, they control all the money and that's the end of what i will say publicly

[PanZheXin]

Hahah I love the video. Hilarious rebuttal. It was already clear Mr Beck is just an opinionated talking head. Too bad people think his opinion is fact which it is not. Enjoy

[ralph1818]

WTF, I'm doing a history project on Rockefeller, and he's goddamn stupid.

[320iguy]

Rockefeller are in the FDIC and a few other things revolving around the US dollar. don't get me wrong i thing Beck is a wing-nut. but there is some deep stuff involving the Rockefeller and the US currency scam, like the gold buy up of the early 50's and so on. do more research before you go off on beck as retarded as he is their is some truth in his statements about there dissidence for social/capitol views

[antybu86]

Like I said in the description, I don't know if Rockefeller was secretly a socialist, but making assertions based on building art (what Beck did) is just stupid.

[HorseofPaulRevere]

Building 'Art' = Masons

INFORM YOURSELF!

[TheJamesPope]

another very well done video

information and evidence always solid

five stars

[ironman711]

You should send this vid to the Daily Show LOL! I KNEW Beck was a commie!

[NapalmXD]

Can I mirror the part about the UN?

[antybu86]

Yeah, go for it.

[NapalmXD]

Thanks.

[prodigyat9]

J.D. Rockefeller was a philanthropist. Self-ass-fucker, beck just does not Cotton to people giving anything to other people. In his book that is socialism. Beck needs to extricate his cock out of his own ass and take some "act like a human" lessons at the local Sociopath center.

[gildor67]

He forgot "those with brains will not think".....

[dewonthegrass]

You showed he makes no sense.

Glen Beck is a bullshitter. I've discovered lately a definition of a bullshitter and I'll try and make a video about it today. If I don't manage it, I'll come back here to try to explain it here.

:D You are one of the people on you tube who expose bullshitters best.

[theracemixer]

********

[freethinker3161]

i hear this on you tube all the time, all the communist illuminate symbolism all over town, im not sure were i stand on that, but i know glen beck is just not my cup of tea. much love and respect.

[hexxos]

sometimes america seems like an alien planet

[Otokogoroshi]

Yarg... that was nonsensical.

[pirbird14]

That's really effective propaganda - millions of people pass by it every day; yet, don't seem to get the message.

Wait a minute - maybe everyone in New York is secretly a Commiefascist and haven't told us about it yet.

Yah, that's it. They're just really, really tricky.

[Maphisto86]

I don't even think Glen knows what he is talking about.

[baxtar1963]

Becks TV ratings are very high. Either most people just like watching him for entertainment value because he's a ridiculous satirist or they actually think he is giving them true journalism. If the latter is true we are in big trouble as a nation.

[TheOtherSide100]

He didn't cry, so I can't believe him.

(GB = What a fucknut!)

[WhatsAfterThisPlace]

Glenn Beck :

"See this here SEE THIS!!! Staling right? RIGHT? Now look at this Hitler!!! Now look at this OBAMA!!! SEE THAT SEE THAT! SOCIALISM BAM! See that!" Lol Glenn is such a fucken joke.

[itscowski]

Glenn Beck needs to be shot.

[rockkarolla1]

Ohhh... if people can't see it what does it matter.

[AcanLord]

glen reminds me almost of a Modern Nixon.

[chupamiubre]

I am sorry i hate fox news but people need to stop this all fox news is bad crap. If they make up stuff call them on it just dot dismiss it out of hand because you dont like fox.

[pureuk]

America has the idea that they're scared of communism. Half of the country couldn't even describe why, or what it is. Fox is just another propaganda news station trying to control people to how they see fit.

Thanks Anty. Love the work. 5*

[antybu86]

Yeah, I just saw it. You're right. It is great.

[johnnyphoenix74]

Beck's REALLY reaching on this one. Insidious subliminal artwork invading our democratic culture...corrupting our minds...lol

[tattooskin72]

he's the definition of "fucktard"

[johnnyphoenix74]

Scare dumbasses who want to be TOLD what to believe.

That's pretty much Fox and Glen Beck in a nutshell. No wonder the majority of his viewers are religious...kinda fits the same pattern.

[squirrly001]

ack...why is it every time someone says "the truth" ...its usually based on their delusion of what the truth is according to their warped perception.

[kpasstence]

2:80, hoe

[jdbadboy]

I think that m shaped shovel was a hoe.

[worldlystone]

I listen to his radio show all the time during my lunch break.The day when he qouted the bible and blamed it on communists made soda shoot out my nose.This guy is a moron.

[Varistra]

Glenn Beck is paranoid.... that is the nicest I can be about it....sigh

[Newsish]

The most shocking part is that the USSR was able to actually make miniature statues. That seems way beyond their production capabilities.

[PoppaBahr]

Yes. MIGs, HINDS, AK-47s and nuclear warheads are much easier to make than statuettes.

[Newsish]

But those things used up about 110% of the USSR's production capacity. That they had time left over to make consumer keep-sakes is a testament to gulag labor.

[U5K0]

I didn't know FoxNews did sitcoms

live and learn

[WashingMachine0]

Awesome video.

I also laughed my ass off when Olbermann mocked him for this garbage on Countdown.

[antybu86]

Hmmm... I'd be interested to see that.

[WashingMachine0]

Ah, here we go. Here's the video

watch?v=XUofVR6jFYY

Those with brains will not think. Like Beck, the insane fuck that he is.

symbols are funny like that. they don't belong to one group and/or ideology specifically and can be used by anyone to represent what they mean

[kazooga1234]

glenn beck dosent no what he is talking bout ever and he cant spell and all of his fallowers cant spell they had a moron march and he needs to shut the fuck up and i hate his fucking crazy tree if u ask questions he cant answer them caz hes a dickshittic moron

[tristan2]

What a troll...

[condomassault]

Glenn Beck is a GENIUS. Everyone hates him because He is RIGHT about EVERYTHING! FASCIST SOCIALISTS wish they had Glenn Beck's HIGH IQ!

[SeruQuik]

Poe's Law in action.

[kazooga1234]

they hate him caz he makes no sense wtf is wrong with u i have a question then whats the connection between van jones and green jobs and what dose and y did he sceam at some1 on the phone to shut up when they were talking bout how we need the public option if he was smart he would of had a normal debate and there r many questions i have on what he says but he says dont ask questions

[liknital07]

Fascism and socialism are not only different, but incompatible on every level.

Yes, Glenn Beck is a genius. That is why he is losing advertisers by the dozen.

[condomassault]

Do not get SMART with me! I am a MERE Disciple of Glenn Beck and His master Alex Jones! They are CONTEMPORARY SUPERHEROES and will REIGN in 2012 when Alex Jones and Glenn Beck INHERIT the PRESIDENCY! You will ROT with ALL the other MARXIST NAZIS because Alex Jones and Glenn Beck SUPPORT FREEDOM and you obviously DO NOT!

[AmericanResponses]

Charlie ! Charlie Mason is that you ...? Yeah condomassault we know who you are ...brain dead a pork filled fool ...lol

[SeruQuik]

"INHERIT the PRESIDENCY!"

Poe's Law; even the densest nationalist knows that presidents are to be voted into office.

[condomassault]

Not when it's the SON of YAHWEH HIMSELF! Alex Jones is here to work the ENDTIMES when 2012 arrives! He is the ONLY HOPE America has left as it's being taken away slowly by MARXIST SOCIALISTS such as yourself!

[SeruQuik]

Yep, Poe's Law.

[thequantumflux]

Agreed I should have read all the posts before commenting to them.

@condomassault You are a jackass. You don't know shit. Why are you so concerned with American politics if you hate us so much?

in fact, our communist party is pretty weak

Nice work antybu.

[ubercomrade]

Where is the original video?

[antybu86]

link in the sidebar

[ILYIAB]

Beck is an excellent example of the failure of the US healthcare system.

In the EU, a guy like Beck would be taken in for observation.

[ubercomrade]

Nice I love this video

[DireStraitsFTW]

I think it was kind of silly of Glenn Beck to make this whole ordeal trying to make out Progressives, old and new, as Socialists when he could have done his job and presented a well thought argument for why all this bullshit is idiotic.

[TrenchantAtheist]

Excellent commentary, especially the annotation at 0:31 ...Made me erupt into spontaneous laughter, which quickly degenerated into tears for humanity.

[RaychSeldon33]

This man is really crazy. :/

[celtic426]

great vid. beck is beyond crazy.

[samsamsztuk]

Facepalm through all the Glenn Beck parts of this video.

[SeruQuik]

Even if Rockefeller was a socialist, or even a communist, who cares? What difference does it make?

[antybu86]

In the full clip, Beck tries to claim that it's all connected. The progressives of yesteryear = the progressives of today. The progressives of yesteryear were socialists, so the progressives of today are socialists.

[SeruQuik]

And again I'd ask why does it matter? I know that there's the whole "Socialism = Communism = Fascism = Anti-American rhetoric = evil = Islam" crap, but should one's ideology really be the only measure to judge one's character? It could very well be a measure, granted.
