Intentional, Provoked Violence Is Coming — Don't Give in to It

March 21, 2016

Writer

Violence erupted again at a Donald Trump rally over the weekend, and Trump supporters need to know one thing: They're being used as pawns by George Soros and those wanting to destabilize the West.

Chaos is their goal, and it was on full display in Arizona. The highway leading into a Trump rally was shut down by Soros-funded Black Lives Matter protestors. Inside another venue, a Trump protestor wore a KKK hood, deliberately trying to agitate the crowd.

"So these people came in, and of course, they're going to be pigs — not the Trump people, the Black Lives Matter, Soros people," Glenn said Monday on The Glenn Beck Program. "They are trying to get you to strike back."

Restraint is key — be angry, be vocal, but don't react with violence.

Glenn commented on one Trump supporter who reacted in horrific violence, punching and kicking a protestor who was being escorted out of a rally.

"This is the French Revolution, not the American Revolution. And it doesn't end well," Glenn said. "You want the French Revolution or the American Revolution? One ends horribly. The other ends in a rebirth of freedom."

Enjoy this complimentary clip from The Glenn Beck Program:

Below is a rush transcript of this segment, it might contain errors:

GLENN: Also, in Arizona, there was a --it's getting ugly. It is really getting ugly. Soros is funding the Black Lives Matter riots. There is a whole system now that they have set up to prepare us -- to prepare them, the Occupy Wall Street and the Black Lives Matter people, including the Muslim Brotherhood, Soros is funding this -- really, this training camp over the summer, where you can learn how to protest and how to break things up and be violent. I'm sorry. He's suggesting that they're not violent at all.

And you know the Black Lives Matter, Occupy Wall Street, and Muslim Brotherhood people are never violent. So he's funding, for instance, in -- in Phoenix, this shutdown of the freeway. Did you see that -- follow that over the weekend?

PAT: Yeah.

GLENN: And these people just shut the freeway down. And they were all Black Lives Matter, Soros people.

(BREAK)

GLENN: Soros like the imams over in Iran, like the -- the people over in Europe that are -- what is it, The Coming Insurrection people, like Occupy Wall Street, like Black Lives Matter, they all want one thing, and that is chaos.

So Soros could be explained as easily as he wants chaos. He wants it to go to a brokered convention because he knows that will cause all kinds of problems. He wants to shut down the streets and have riots in the streets. It doesn't matter. Just shut them down. He is looking for chaos. And who is the father of chaos? I would just like to remind you.

Chaos is what people are shooting for right now that want to collapse the West.

So two stories out of Arizona, besides the roads being shut down by the Black Lives Matter people. When you see Black Lives Matter, I want you to understand, we've already been through this. This is Occupy Wall Street. Black Lives Matter. The Muslim Brotherhood. This is the Occupy Wall Street movement, version two.

And remember what all -- Occupy Wall Street and the press wanted to happen. They wanted us to strike back. When we didn't strike back, they disappeared. They had no power. But the minute they found, "Oh, we can get somebody to strike back at us, it's going to cause riots in the street." This is George Soros, remember. Top-down, bottom-up, inside-out. That's George Soros because he saw it work in Hungary when the communists took over.

You get enough of your people in the government, you get riots on the street, the people -- the regular people scream out and say, "Somebody has got to make this stop." The top comes down, turns the country inside out, and it's over. So the worst thing you can do is respond in anger or violence. But try that at a Trump rally.

So these people came in. And, of course, they're going to be pigs. Not the Trump people. The Black Lives Matter, Soros people. Of course. They are trying to get you to strike back.

So somebody goes into this Trump rally. I think it was a woman. And this person -- I don't know if it was a woman or a man. This person puts on a Klan hood in the middle of Donald Trump's rally. Now, how do you think that's going to go over?

STU: Had his back patted by the people near him.

GLENN: What?

STU: People started patting their back.

GLENN: Yes. You could do that in any really. You could do that at a Cruz rally, and it's not going to go over. You do that in a Trump rally, and you have a very good chance of getting coldcocked in the face.

Well, what a surprise. Trump says, "Get that person out of here. That's disgusting." Well, of course, his crowd will get that person out of there. This person was vile, despicable, you name it. I am not siding with this person with the Klan hood.

But as they're being escorted upstairs, a black guy coldcocks this person, which is bad enough. Then this person is laying down on the ground of the steps, and he body-blow kicks her repeatedly. It is something like I've never seen before. It was despicable. Absolutely despicable.

Violence is coming. And I'm going to leave it at that. Violence is coming 1968-style. And it's coming to our conventions, unless we get a hold of ourselves.

And when I say that, I want the Trump people to hear me clearly: You're being set up. Do you understand that? Look at the history. Look at what Occupy Wall Street did. They want you to strike back. And your fearless leader is too arrogant to figure out what's going on. And your fearless leader is not leading you to a place of peace. He is telling you that he will pay for your legal fees.

You will be responsible for the end of the republic if you don't wise up and figure this out: restraint. You can be as angry as you want. Restraint. "Well, they deserved it." Restraint. The republic is at stake. And you're being set up.

Does that make sense to anybody? If you know people are trying to get you to do something, you're an idiot if you go and do it. What do you think they want?

Now, let me tell you another story: In that blockade, there was -- of the freeway, which was despicable again. George Soros money. The blockade happens. This guy who is driving his construction truck, he's sitting there. He's stuck in traffic. He's a youth pastor. And he's just trying to get to his church.

Everybody is in line trying to get to this Trump rally. He's just trying to get to his church for service. The blockade happens. CNN covers it. His truck is up front with the name of his construction company. The Trump supporters are now calling in death threats to his construction company. He was a youth pastor. He has nothing to do with it. He was stuck in traffic, just like everyone else. But you went and jumped to the conclusion that he was involved. This is the French Revolution, not the American Revolution. And it doesn't end well.

But it seems like all we're doing right now is just jockeying for who will be the next dictator. Could it be Barack Obama? Could it be Bernie Sanders? Could it be Clinton? Could it be -- why not? Donald Trump? They're all jockeying for power. None of them for the principles of the Constitution. You want the French Revolution or the American Revolution?

One ends horribly. The other ends in a rebirth of freedom.

(OUT AT 8:25AM)

GLENN: So what did -- I read a quote. I thought this was an old quote. Is, do we know yet about what Donald Trump has said or not?

STU: We're looking at it. I heard it this morning on the radio.

GLENN: Is he paying the guy's legal fees. Do we know that yet? Is he --

STU: Because there's multiple -- you talked about someone in a hood who got kicked. The one I saw was in an American flag shirt that got kicked on the ground.

GLENN: Okay. That's why I said I wasn't sure. Because I think the woman in the hat -- in the hood, I think that was a woman.

STU: Okay.

GLENN: And I think she was leaving, and maybe somebody else was kicked down to the ground or something. I don't know. I saw the video on the plane. But I know that, if it wasn't the woman in the hood, then it was somebody else that was being escorted. And she was -- and he was punched in the face, down to the ground, and then kicked. Repeated body blows. That guy should be in jail. I don't know if he --

PAT: He was arrested. I mean, it looks like they were taking him.

GLENN: And what is the story of Trump's campaign manager roughing somebody else out and getting him out?

STU: So there's a protester that they were -- the campaign manager and another guy were standing next to. He started walking away. The same guy who grabbed the girl and called all the controversy last week. He grabbed this guy by the collar. Pulled him back.

The guy to his left, at the same time, also pulled him back and pulled him back harder. The Trump campaign was, well, this -- it wasn't Corey Lewandowski, our campaign manager. You can see him clearly grab his collar and pull him back.

But he said, really, he was reacting to the other guy who pulled much harder, and they tried to blow it off on that. Took about 24 hours for it to be revealed that the other guy was also a Trump campaign worker that the campaign just forgot to mention that in their denial.

PAT: And it shows.

STU: They blamed it on the other guy, and it was their guy too.

PAT: And it shows that's what he does. So it kind of reinforces the proof of the other one.

STU: Uh-huh.

GLENN: It does. They're all New York, Mafioso-style thugs. That's all they are.

PAT: Yeah, they're thugs. Yeah.

GLENN: And I can't believe -- I mean, there's got to be some Trump supporters -- because Trump supporters, there's a lot of people, I've met people who are --

PAT: Reasonable.

GLENN: Don't like me because of what I'm saying. And I'm not saying they're necessarily open-minded on things, but they are not thugs. They're not thugs. They're not somebody that is going to kick somebody when they're down.

STU: Uh-huh.

GLENN: And I think the vast majority of Trump supporters are like that, they won't kick somebody when they go down. It's probably 10 percent of Trump supporters that are bad, really bottom-of-the-barrel, Occupy Wall Street, except -- I hate to say on the conservative side. They think they're on the right. They're just, they're progressive Republicans. They have to be.

You know, I saw a study this weekend: What do Trump supporters have in common? Did you guys see this? We have to look for this. They did a test, and I got to read the test to you. They did a test. They put questions out on the field and said, "Are you a Trump supporter?" If you said yes, they asked you all of these questions: Pick this or this. Which is better? This or this? And they found the thread through all of them. And you have -- if you're a Trump supporter, you have one thing in common for sure, and that is authoritarianism.

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: We've seen that. We've seen a test like that. But have you actually read the questions?

STU: I think I did read some of the --

GLENN: Yeah, they were very interesting. Very interesting questions. We'll give those questions to you here in a minute and see if you -- see how you answer them. Because that's what they have in -- I like the power of the government to take care of things and take care of business.

Critical theory destroys truth and justice

Editor's note: This article was originally published on TheBlaze.com.

Critical theory once stood out as the absurd progressive notion that it is. Now, its maxims are becoming an integral part of ordinary political discourse. The more you repeat a lie, the more you will believe it, and this is the very dangerous place in which we find ourselves today.

Take this critical theory maxim as an example: If we desire justice, we must sometimes champion what may appear superficially as injustice. It's a necessary evil, if you will, the necessity of “controlled injustice.”

By using truth through fabrication and controlled injustice for justice, we’ll save the republic. We’ll be acting in a noble way.

This definition of justice is defined by the “oppressed,” not the “oppressor.” It is the greatest happiness for the greatest number. To achieve this justice, however, we need to endorse acts on occasion that, while seemingly unjust, serve a higher purpose. It will ensure the stability and the unity of our republic, and this may manifest in ways that seem contradictory to our values. But these are the necessary shadows to cast light on “true justice.”

And isn’t that what we are all after, anyway?

Here’s another critical theory maxim: Sometimes we find the truth through fabrication. Our pursuit of truth sometimes requires a strategic use of falsehoods. The truth is a construct that has been shaped and tailored to promote the well-being of the collective.

We sometimes need to accept and propagate lies designed by "the system” — not the old system, but the system that we’re now using to replace the old to get more justice through injustice and more truth through fabrication.

We’re engaging in a higher form of honesty. When we fabricate, it’s for the right reason. We are reaching up to the heavens fighting for a higher sort of honesty. To fortify the truth, we occasionally must weave a tapestry of lies. Each thread, essential for the greater picture, will ultimately define our understanding and ensure our unity under this infallible wisdom.

The election is coming up. Does this maxim sound familiar? Many think it is imperative that we secure our republic through election control to maintain our republic. Sometimes, we might need to take actions that by traditional standards might be questionable.

The act of securing elections requires cheating. It's not mere deception. It is a noble act of safeguarding our way of life. We're on the verge of losing this democracy, and without deception, we will lose it.

To ensure it doesn't fall into the hands of those we know will destroy it, we may have to make a few fabrications. We're fabricating stories to be able to control or secure the republic through our elections. By using truth through fabrication and controlled injustice for justice, we'll save the republic. Therefore, we'll be acting in a noble way. Stealing an election from those who wish to harm our society is truly an act of valor and an essential measure to protect our values and ensure the continuation of our just society.

If we desire justice, we must sometimes champion what may appear superficially as injustice.

I know it's a paradox of honor through dishonor. But in this context, by embracing the dishonor, we achieve the highest form of honor, ensuring the stability and the continuation of our great republic.

Let this be heard, far and wide, as a great call to patriotic action. As we advance, let each of us, citizens of this great and honorable republic, consider these principles. Not as abstract or paradoxical but as practical guides to daily life. Embrace the necessity of controlled injustice, the utility of lies, the duty to secure our electoral process, and the honor and apparent dishonor. These are not merely strategies for survival. They are prerequisites for our prosperity.

We all have to remember that justice is what our leaders define, that truth is what our party tells us. Our republic stands strong on the values of injustice for justice, honor through dishonor, and the fabrication of truths. To deviate from this path is to jeopardize the very fabric of our society. Strength through unity; unity through strength.

We've heard this nonsense for so long. But now, this nonsense is becoming an instituted reality, and we are entering perilous times. Don't be fooled by the narratives you will hear during the march to November. Never let someone convince you that the ends justify the means, that a little bit of injustice is needed to achieve a broader, collective vision of justice, that truth sometimes requires fabricated lies and narratives. If we do, justice will cease to be justice, truth will cease to be truth, and our republic will be lost.

Top 5 MOST EVIL taxes the government extorts from you

David McNew / Staff | Getty Images

"In this world nothing is certain but death and taxes." -Ben Franklin

The injustice of taxation has been a core issue for Americans since the very beginning of our country, and it's a problem we have yet to resolve. This belief was recently reignited in many Americans earlier this month on tax day when the numbers were crunched and it was discovered that the government was somehow owed even more hard-earned money. As Glenn recently discussed on his show, it's getting to be impossible for most Americans to afford to live comfortably, inflation is rising, and our politicians keep getting richer.

The taxpayer's burden is heavier than ever.

The government is not above some real low blows either. While taxes are a necessary evil, some taxes stretch the definition of "necessary" and emphasize the "evil." Here are the top five most despicable taxes that are designed to line the IRS coffers at your expense:

Income Tax

"It would be a hard government that should tax its people one-tenth part of their income." -Ben Franklin

On February 24th, 2024 we hit a very unfortunate milestone, the 101st anniversary of the 16th Amendment, which authorized federal income tax. Where does the government get the right to steal directly out of your paycheck?

Death Taxes

"Now my advice for those who die, Declare the pennies on your eyes" -George Harrison

Not even in death can you escape the cold pursuit of the tax collector. It's not good enough that you have to pay taxes on everything you buy and every penny you make your entire life. Now the feds want a nice slice, based on the entire value of your estate, that can be as much as 40 percent. Then the state government gets to stick their slimy fingers all over whatever remains before your family is left with the crumbs. It's practically grave-robbery.

Payroll

"The power to tax is the power to destroy." -John Marshall

What's that? The nice chunk of your paycheck the government nabs before you can even get it to the bank wasn't enough? What if the government taxed your employer just for paying you? In essence, you make less than what your agreed pay rate is and it costs your employer more! Absolutely abominable.

Social Security

VALERIE MACON / Contributor | Getty Images

"We don't have a trillion-dollar debt because we haven't taxed enough; we have a trillion-dollar debt because we spend too much." -Ronald Reagan

Everyone knows the collapse of Social Security is imminent. It has limped along for years, only sustained by a torrent of tax dollars and the desperate actions of politicians. For decades, people have unwillingly forked over money into the system they will never see again.

FICA

"What at first was plunder assumed the softer name of revenue." -Thomas Paine

FICA is the payroll equivalent of Social Security. Your employer has to match however much you pay. It means it costs your employer even more to pay you—again, you'll NEVER see that money. At this point, are you even working for yourself, or are you just here to generate money for the government to frivolously throw away?

5 DISTURBING ways World War III will be different from previous wars

Oleg Nikishin / Stringer | Getty Images

Has World War III begun?

Over the weekend, Iran launched an unprecedented attack against Israel involving over 300 missiles and drones. This marked the first direct attack on Israel originating from Iranian territory. Fortunately, according to an Israel Defense Forces spokesperson Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari, 99 percent of missiles and drones were successfully neutralized by Israeli defense systems. Iran claimed that the operation against Israel had concluded and that no further offensive was planned, although the possibility of another attack is still present.

This has left many people, including Glenn, wondering the same thing: did we just witness the start of World War III?

Glenn recently had a World War II Air Force Veteran as a guest on his TV special, who told stories of the horrors he and his brothers-in-arms faced in the skies over war-torn Europe. This was a timely reminder of the terrors of war and a warning that our future, if it leads to another world war, is a dark one.

But, if Glenn's coverage of the Iranian attack revealed one thing, it's that World War III will look nothing like the world wars of the twentieth century. Long gone are the days of John "Lucky" Luckadoo and his "Bloody Hundredth" bravely flying their B-17s into battle. Over the weekend, we saw hundreds of autonomous drones and missiles clashing with extreme speed and precision over several different fronts (including space) simultaneously. This ain't your grandfather's war.

From EMP strikes to cyber attacks, here are FIVE ways the face of war has changed:

EMP attacks

New York Daily News Archive / Contributor | Getty Images

The entire modern world, on every level, is completely dependent on electricity. From your home refrigerator to international trade, the world would come to a grinding halt without power. And as Glenn has pointed out, it wouldn't even be that hard to pull off. All it would take is 3 strategically placed, high-altitude nuclear detonations and the entire continental U.S. would be without power for months if not years. This would cause mass panic across the country, which would be devastating enough on its own, but the chaos could be a perfect opportunity for a U.S. land invasion.

Nuclear strikes

Nuclear war is nothing new. Many of us grew up during the Cold War, built fallout shelters, and learned to duck and cover. But times have changed. The Berlin Wall fell and so did the preparedness of the average American to weather a nuclear attack. As technology has advanced, more of our adversaries than ever have U.S. cities within their crosshairs, and as Glenn has pointed out, these adversaries are not exactly shy about that fact. Unfortunately, the possibility of an atomic apocalypse is as real as ever.

Immigration warfare

Nick Ut / Contributor | Getty Images

The strategy of strangling an opposing nation's economy to gain the upper hand is a wartime tactic as old as time. That's why the Border Crisis is so alarming. What better way to damage an opponent's economy than by overburdening it with millions of undocumented immigrants? As Glenn has covered, these immigrants are not making the trek unaided. There is a wide selection of organizations that facilitate this growing disaster. These organizations are receiving backing from around the globe, such as the WEF, the UN, and U.S. Democrats! Americans are already feeling the effects of the border crisis. Imagine how this tactic could be exploited in war.

Cyber shutdowns

Bill Hinton / Contributor | Getty Images

Cyber attacks will be a major tactic in future wars. We've already experienced relatively minor cyber strikes from Russia, China, and North Korea, and it is a very real possibility that one of our adversaries inflicts a larger attack with devastating consequences on the United States. In fact, the WEF has already predicted a "catastrophic" cyber attack is imminent, and Glenn suggests that it is time to start preparing ourselves. A cyber attack could be every bit as devastating as an EMP, and in a world run by computers, nothing is safe.

Biological assault

Don't trust the "experts." That was the takeaway many of us had from the pandemic, but something less talked about is the revelation that China has manufactured viruses that are capable of spreading across the globe. We now know that the lab leak hypothesis is true and that the Wuhan lab manufactured the virus that infected the entire world. That was only ONE virus from ONE lab. Imagine what else the enemies of America might be cooking up.

The government is WAGING WAR against these 3 basic needs

NICHOLAS KAMM / Contributor | Getty Images

The government has launched a full-on assault against our basic needs, and people are starting to take notice.

As long-time followers of Glenn are probably aware, our right to food, water, and power is under siege. The government no longer cares about our general welfare. Instead, our money lines the pockets of our politicians, funds overseas wars, or goes towards some woke-ESG-climate-Great Reset bullcrap. And when they do care, it's not in a way that benefits the American people.

From cracking down on meat production to blocking affordable power, this is how the government is attacking your basic needs:

Food

Fiona Goodall / Stringer | Getty Images

Glenn had Rep. Thomas Massie on his show where he sounded the alarm about the attack on our food. The government has been waging war against our food since the thirties when Congress passed the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938. They started by setting strict limits on how many crops a farmer could grow in a season and punishing anyone who grew more—even if it was intended for personal use, not for sale on the market. This sort of autocratic behavior has continued into the modern day and has only gotten more draconian. Today, not only are you forced to buy meat that a USDA-approved facility has processed, but the elites want meat in general off the menu. Cow farts are too dangerous to the environment, so the WEF wants you to eat climate-friendly alternatives—like bugs.

Water

ALESSANDRO RAMPAZZO / Contributor | Getty Images

As Glenn discussed during a recent Glenn TV special, the government has been encroaching on our water for years. It all started when Congress passed the Clean Water Act in 1972, which gave the government the ability to regulate large bodies of water. As the name suggests, the act was primarily intended to keep large waterways clear of pollution, but over time it has allowed the feds to assume more and more control over the country's water supply. Most recently, the Biden administration attempted to expand the reach of the Clean Water Act to include even more water and was only stopped by the Supreme Court.

Electricity

David McNew / Staff | Getty Images

Dependable, affordable electricity has been a staple of American life for decades, but that might all be coming to an end. Glenn has discussed recent actions taken by Biden, like orders to halt new oil and gas production and efforts to switch to less efficient sources of power, like wind or solar, the price of electricity is only going to go up. This, alongside his efforts to limit air conditioning and ban gas stoves, it almost seems Biden is attempting to send us back to the Stone Age.
