Glenn: Words have real power

October 29, 2013
Wilson

Writer

Well, better late than never, I guess.  60 Minutes has finally figured out that maybe, just maybe the Benghazi thing isn’t a phony scandal after all.

VIDEO

Lt. Col. Andy Wood:  I made it known in a country team meeting you are going to get attacked.  You are going to get attacked in Benghazi.  It’s going to happen.  You need to change your security profile.

Lara Logan:  Shut down –

Lt. Col. Andy Wood:  Shut down operations, move out temporarily, or change locations within the city.  Do something to break up the profile, because you are being targeted.  They’re watching you.  The attack cycle is such that they’re in their final planning stages.

Lara Logan:  Wait a minute, you said they’re in the final planning stages of an attack on the American mission in Benghazi.

Lt. Col. Andy Wood:  It was apparent to me that that was the case.  Reading all these other attacks that were occurring, I could see what they were staging up to.  It was obvious.

Morgan Jones:  We’re here to kill Americans, not Libyans, so they’d give them a good beating, pistol whip them, beat them with their rifles and let them go.

Lara Logan:  We’re here to kill Americans.

Morgan Jones:  That’s what they said, yeah.

Lara Logan:  Not Libyans.

Morgan Jones:  Yeah.

Lt. Col. Andy Wood:  Coordination, planning, training, experience, personnel.  They practiced those things.  They knew what they were doing.

Wow!  It’s kind of like they knew all along it was a coordinated attack, and they knew that a coordinated attack was coming in advance, and they did nothing.  You know what would’ve been really great is if the media would’ve been nice enough to point this out as we were being told that it was a spontaneous reaction to a hateful YouTube video.

But it’s never too late for Americans to wake up and say wait a minute, they knew, and they lied, which puts this comment from Hillary Clinton when she was questioned about what happened before the attack in a whole new light now, doesn’t it?

VIDEO

Hillary Clinton:  The fact is we had four dead Americans.  Was it because of a protest or was it because of guys out for a walk one night who decided they’d go kill some Americans?  What difference at this point does it make?

Of course she doesn’t want to answer that question.  I can guarantee that was rehearsed, because the honest answer to that question results in the end of her career in public service, at least it should, but I don’t know if it would.  George Soros is now helping her with finances for her run for President of the United States.

But the spin is about to come undone.  It is happening at such a dizzying rate that nobody it seems even bats an eye anymore, but people know that it doesn’t work.  People aren’t watching the news like they used to.  They know.  They know, and they know they’re getting nothing but lies.  Bob Woodward summed up what was best.  He said this is right at the heart of this administration’s scandals.  Listen:

VIDEO

Bob Woodward:  I think it’s in The New York Times this morning that there is a review that Susan Rice, the national security advisor for Obama has done on Mideast policy.  They need to review this secret world and its power in their government, because you run into this rat’s nest of concealment and lies time and time again, then and now.

This is pretty amazing, a rat’s nest of concealment and lies.  Did you ever think you would see anyone on mainstream media say that?  But that’s what they’re choosing to spread.

The words that each of us choose, they have real power.  They have the power to build people up or tear them down, the power to heal or the power to destroy, the power to increase light or increase darkness.  Which will it be?

I remember when there was a time at least that the left understood the power of words, and they were really super concerned about the words, you know, that we use, and when I say “we use,” I mean Sarah Palin and me and you or the Tea Party.  They claimed that those words, hey, listen to the words.  It’s hateful.  It’s violent, and that we were causing the violence against people like Gabby Giffords.  Remember this?

VIDEO

Howard Kurtz:  And then you said, and I’m quoting here, “Both are being finally held to account for recklessly playing with violent images in a way that is bound to incite the unstable.”

 

“Bound to incite the unstable.”  You’re connecting the dots between their rhetoric and violence.

Dana Milbank:  Well, between violence, but not in this case, the Loughner case.  What I – in a sense, it’s rough justice.  I think it is very important that people are held to account for this nasty rhetoric that is causing – in Glenn Beck’s case, I’ve documented a few cases in which it’s led a crazy person to snap…

Keith Olberman:  I think it’s time as a country we need to do a little soul searching, because I think that the vitriolic rhetoric that we hear day in and day out from the people in the radio business and some people in the TV business and what we see on TV and how our youngsters are being raised, it may be free speech, but it does not come without consequences.

Bill Maher:  But it’s also clear that he was very antigovernment.  I mean, if you read some of the stuff that we have that we know he wrote, I mean, it’s sprinkled with things, antigovernment ideas, treason, tyranny, the gold, get back to the gold standard, that kind of stuff that seems like, you know, I don’t know who else but Glenn Beck talks about that.

 

This Jared guy’s chalkboard in his basement, I’m not sure it wouldn’t look that different than Glenn Beck’s chalkboard.

Okay, that guy was a leftist and a Communist if I remember right, but that’s what they were doing.  They were accusing me and Sarah Palin and you of violence and inciting violence.  I wrote it down.  This kind of talk appeals to the unstable.  Zero evidence – I wonder what this guy was saying that was quoted back to me.

There’s never been any violence, never, at least that I’ve ever been made aware of, never.  In fact, quite the opposite:  The people that gather are the picture of restraint and decency and love for fellow man, but that doesn’t stop the free flow of lies, right?  We know that.

Okay, the only reason why I’m dredging up the past is because I want to show you the power of words and what our government is turning into.  I want you to look at the rhetoric of this president.  Watch:

VIDEO

President Obama:  I did not run for office to be helping out a bunch of, you know, fat cat bankers on Wall Street.

If you are a wealthy CEO or hedge fund manager in America right now, your taxes are lower than they have ever been.  And you can afford it.  You’ll still be able to ride on your corporate jet.  You’re just going to have to pay a little more.

Everybody, including the wealthiest Americans and biggest corporations, have to pay their fair share.

Tell them to stop giving tax breaks to the wealthiest Americans who don’t need them and aren’t asking for them.  Tell them to start asking everybody to do their fair share and play by the same rules.

And what we then do is ask for the wealthy to pay a little bit more.

Okay, you know this.  I don’t have to keep going on.  You know this.  He is preaching the gospel of two Americas, that there is a small sliver of people that do nothing.  They don’t pay their fair share, the really uber rich, and then everybody else who’s carrying all the burden, when studies show, and I mean facts show, the IRS will show you that there’s over now 50% that don’t pay any taxes at all.  And they’re the haves and the have-nots.  That’s what it is, the rich guy and then you.

Now who’s going to take the blame?  Well, he takes the blame because he takes it from you, and he keeps it away from you.  How many times have we seen from the Tides Foundation and everybody else that the rich exploit the resources of the world and keep you down?  Meanwhile, while they’re saying that, they have union mobs descending on the private homes of the evil bank CEOs – screw him, screw him and all of his money.

The president has been billed as a uniter, and I guess it’s true if he’s uniting the 99% against the 1%, which those numbers aren’t even accurate.  This is an all-out class warfare act.  The reason why I’m bringing this up to you tonight is because your words do have power.  You’re getting lies from the top, and then they are keeping things away from you and never mentioning what’s really going on.

Tonight, I want to introduce you to the first victims in this war on the wealthy.  It’s a family of five, including a one-year-old.  They were slaughtered with a meat cleaver.  The man who carried out the slaying was a 25-year-old family relative.  Now, why did he do it, and why could I possibly say this has anything to do with this administration?

Well, according to a police source, “The family had too much.  The family had better income and a better lifestyle than him.”  That’s what the crazy man is saying.  Now where are you getting that envy?  For being successful and despite being kind enough to let a 25-year-old relative stay at their home, the 37-year-old mother of four, who wasn’t Bill Gates, was butchered, along with her nine, five, seven, and one-year-old.  The one-year-old was found decapitated.

Now, this is an amazing story no matter how you slice it, but I’m wondering where the press is, because the story happened just outside of New York City, so you know they have the trucks there.  They were so paranoid that the Tea Party would act out against any government official because they heard a lot of rhetoric about shrinking the size of government.

You couldn’t even say the word “target” without scolding somebody, yet the President of the United States and his allies constantly nonstop vilify anyone with any money.  They tell people they are taking it from you.  They blame them for every sort of every problem.  It’s not Bush; it’s the rich people, and if it’s not the rich people, it’s Bush.  They even have supported unions that intimidate and use violent tactics like surrounding private homes with mobs and beating people down at town halls and blocking “scab” truckers.  Think of just even that word, scabs.

And there’s silence from the media.  I want you to know because part of my job is to inform you on what I see coming, but you’re seeing it now.  It’s here, a class war and a race war not of your doing, and don’t participate in it in any way, shape, or form.  It’s a war on anyone who stands in the way of the agenda, even, believe it or not, if you’re an 87-year-old World War II veteran.

How could you possibly say that the administration had anything to do with the killing of an 87-year-old man?  Well, can we look at the facts?  The World War II Memorial during the phony shutdown, what happened to the World War II veterans?  Were they treated with respect?  Taking on America’s finest living heroes was something previously unthinkable, even among the dirtiest of politicians.

Growing up, we were all taught to respect our elders, especially those, the Greatest American Generation, but now, somehow or another, our teens are taught life doesn’t matter, and old people, it’s okay to use them as a political prop.  It’s even okay to hassle them.  We’re taught that old people and their stupidity is what caused today’s problems.  And if I may quote, so you’ve had your chance, grandma.  “Step aside, Grandma.  We want health care, and we want it now.”

Is it any wonder we see teens beating up and mugging World War II veterans just for giggles?  I want you to be very, very clear on what I’m saying.  While the president and his allies are leading this current race, the media and higher education have done such a great snow job on most of us and most of us have welcomed it with open arms because we wanted to believe, I mean, it’s much easier to believe that we can just take it from somebody else.

It’s much easier to believe that our kids really do deserve that trophy.  It’s really a lot easier on me as a parent.  I’m tired when I get home.  I don’t know about you.  I don’t want to teach my kids lessons.  I want somebody else to do it.  I have to teach them that life isn’t unfair?  That’s hard.  But universal law is universal law, and it doesn’t matter who uses it.

Life isn’t fair.  You’re not always going to win your way, even if you’re the good guy.  And words do have power.  I have a new and greater understanding of the power of words.  Words are like seeds, and when you scatter them all across the ground, some will take root, and some will not, depending on if it’s fertile soil or rocks.  And some will take very shallow roots, and some will take deep.  It depends not only who’s scattering them but also who’s receiving them.

The question is what seeds are you sowing?  What words will you choose?  I know their choice.  I got it.  I can’t do anything about their choice.  Let’s talk about me and you.  The answer can be found in this question:  Who is the author of your life?  I have two, God and me.  God created me, and then he gave me rights.  He gave me power, and he gave me responsibility, and I choose what I do with those.

Jesus said the son only does what he has seen the father doing, so who’s the author of your life?  Who’s your father?  For many, unfortunately, I believe it is now the father of all lies, and what they see him do, they will do.  And so we have a rat’s nest of concealment and lies.

Faith, family, and freedom—The forgotten core of conservatism

Gary Hershorn / Contributor | Getty Images

Conservatism is not about rage or nostalgia. It’s about moral clarity, national renewal, and guarding the principles that built America’s freedom.

Our movement is at a crossroads, and the question before us is simple: What does it mean to be a conservative in America today?

For years, we have been told what we are against — against the left, against wokeism, against decline. But opposition alone does not define a movement, and it certainly does not define a moral vision.

We are not here to cling to the past or wallow in grievance. We are not the movement of rage. We are the movement of reason and hope.

The media, as usual, are eager to supply their own answer. The New York Times recently suggested that Nick Fuentes represents the “future” of conservatism. That’s nonsense — a distortion of both truth and tradition. Fuentes and those like him do not represent American conservatism. They represent its counterfeit.

Real conservatism is not rage. It is reverence. It does not treat the past as a museum, but as a teacher. America’s founders asked us to preserve their principles and improve upon their practice. That means understanding what we are conserving — a living covenant, not a relic.

Conservatism as stewardship

In 2025, conservatism means stewardship — of a nation, a culture, and a moral inheritance too precious to abandon. To conserve is not to freeze history. It is to stand guard over what is essential. We are custodians of an experiment in liberty that rests on the belief that rights come not from kings or Congress, but from the Creator.

That belief built this country. It will be what saves it. The Constitution is a covenant between generations. Conservatism is the duty to keep that covenant alive — to preserve what works, correct what fails, and pass on both wisdom and freedom to those who come next.

Economics, culture, and morality are inseparable. Debt is not only fiscal; it is moral. Spending what belongs to the unborn is theft. Dependence is not compassion; it is weakness parading as virtue. A society that trades responsibility for comfort teaches citizens how to live as slaves.

Freedom without virtue is not freedom; it is chaos. A culture that mocks faith cannot defend liberty, and a nation that rejects truth cannot sustain justice. Conservatism must again become the moral compass of a disoriented people, reminding America that liberty survives only when anchored to virtue.

Rebuilding what is broken

We cannot define ourselves by what we oppose. We must build families, communities, and institutions that endure. Government is broken because education is broken, and education is broken because we abandoned the formation of the mind and the soul. The work ahead is competence, not cynicism.

Conservatives should embrace innovation and technology while rejecting the chaos of Silicon Valley. Progress must not come at the expense of principle. Technology must strengthen people, not replace them. Artificial intelligence should remain a servant, never a master. The true strength of a nation is not measured by data or bureaucracy, but by the quiet webs of family, faith, and service that hold communities together. When Washington falters — and it will — those neighborhoods must stand.

This is the real work of conservatism: to conserve what is good and true and to reform what has decayed. It is not about slogans; it is about stewardship — the patient labor of building a civilization that remembers what it stands for.

A creed for the rising generation

We are not here to cling to the past or wallow in grievance. We are not the movement of rage. We are the movement of reason and hope.

For the rising generation, conservatism cannot be nostalgia. It must be more than a memory of 9/11 or admiration for a Reagan era they never lived through. Many young Americans did not experience those moments — and they should not have to in order to grasp the lessons they taught and the truths they embodied. The next chapter is not about preserving relics but renewing purpose. It must speak to conviction, not cynicism; to moral clarity, not despair.

Young people are searching for meaning in a culture that mocks truth and empties life of purpose. Conservatism should be the moral compass that reminds them freedom is responsibility and that faith, family, and moral courage remain the surest rebellions against hopelessness.

To be a conservative in 2025 is to defend the enduring principles of American liberty while stewarding the culture, the economy, and the spirit of a free people. It is to stand for truth when truth is unfashionable and to guard moral order when the world celebrates chaos.

We are not merely holding the torch. We are relighting it.

Glenn Beck: Here's what's WRONG with conservatism today

Getty Images / Handout | Getty Images

What does it mean to be a conservative in 2025? Glenn offers guidance on what conservatives need to do to ensure the conservative movement doesn't fade into oblivion. We have to get back to PRINCIPLES, not policies.

To be a conservative in 2025 means to STAND

  • for Stewardship, protecting the wisdom of our Founders;
  • for Truth, defending objective reality in an age of illusion;
  • for Accountability, living within our means as individuals and as a nation;
  • for Neighborhood, rebuilding family, faith, and local community;
  • and for Duty, carrying freedom forward to the next generation.

A conservative doesn’t cling to the past — he stands guard over the principles that make the future possible.

Transcript

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: You know, I'm so tired of being against everything. Saying what we're not.

It's time that we start saying what we are. And it's hard, because we're changing. It's different to be a conservative, today, than it was, you know, years ago.

And part of that is just coming from hard knocks. School of hard knocks. We've learned a lot of lessons on things we thought we were for. No, no, no.

But conservatives. To be a conservative, it shouldn't be about policies. It's really about principles. And that's why we've lost our way. Because we've lost our principles. And it's easy. Because the world got easy. And now the world is changing so rapidly. The boundaries between truth and illusion are blurred second by second. Machines now think. Currencies falter. Families fractured. And nations, all over the world, have forgotten who they are.

So what does it mean to be a conservative now, in 2025, '26. For a lot of people, it means opposing the left. That's -- that's a reaction. That's not renewal.

That's a reaction. It can't mean also worshiping the past, as if the past were perfect. The founders never asked for that.

They asked that we would preserve the principles and perfect their practice. They knew it was imperfect. To make a more perfect nation.

Is what we're supposed to be doing.

2025, '26 being a conservative has to mean stewardship.

The stewardship of a nation, of a civilization.

Of a moral inheritance. That is too precious to abandon.

What does it mean to conserve? To conserve something doesn't mean to stand still.

It means to stand guard. It means to defend what the Founders designed. The separation of powers. The rule of law.

The belief that our rights come not from kings or from Congress, but from the creator himself.
This is a system that was not built for ease. It was built for endurance, and it will endure if we only teach it again!

The problem is, we only teach it like it's a museum piece. You know, it's not a museum piece. It's not an old dusty document. It's a living covenant between the dead, the living and the unborn.

So this chapter of -- of conservatism. Must confront reality. Economic reality.

Global reality.

And moral reality.

It's not enough just to be against something. Or chant tax cuts or free markets.

We have to ask -- we have to start with simple questions like freedom, yes. But freedom for what?

Freedom for economic sovereignty. Your right to produce and to innovate. To build without asking Beijing's permission. That's a moral issue now.

Another moral issue: Debt! It's -- it's generational theft. We're spending money from generations we won't even meet.

And dependence. Another moral issue. It's a national weakness.

People cannot stand up for themselves. They can't make it themselves. And we're encouraging them to sit down, shut up, and don't think.

And the conservative who can't connect with fiscal prudence, and connect fiscal prudence to moral duty, you're not a conservative at all.

Being a conservative today, means you have to rebuild an economy that serves liberty, not one that serves -- survives by debt, and then there's the soul of the nation.

We are living through a time period. An age of dislocation. Where our families are fractured.

Our faith is almost gone.

Meaning is evaporating so fast. Nobody knows what meaning of life is. That's why everybody is killing themselves. They have no meaning in life. And why they don't have any meaning, is truth itself is mocked and blurred and replaced by nothing, but lies and noise.

If you want to be a conservative, then you have to be to become the moral compass that reminds a lost people, liberty cannot survive without virtue.

That freedom untethered from moral order is nothing, but chaos!

And that no app, no algorithm, no ideology is ever going to fill the void, where meaning used to live!

To be a conservative, moving forward, we cannot just be about policies.

We have to defend the sacred, the unseen, the moral architecture, that gives people an identity. So how do you do that? Well, we have to rebuild competence. We have to restore institutions that actually work. Just in the last hour, this monologue on what we're facing now, because we can't open the government.

Why can't we open the government?

Because government is broken. Why does nobody care? Because education is broken.

We have to reclaim education, not as propaganda, but as the formation of the mind and the soul. Conservatives have to champion innovation.

Not to imitate Silicon Valley's chaos, but to harness technology in defense of human dignity. Don't be afraid of AI.

Know what it is. Know it's a tool. It's a tool to strengthen people. As long as you always remember it's a tool. Otherwise, you will lose your humanity to it!

That's a conservative principle. To be a conservative, we have to restore local strength. Our families are the basic building blocks, our schools, our churches, and our charities. Not some big, distant NGO that was started by the Tides Foundation, but actual local charities, where you see people working. A web of voluntary institutions that held us together at one point. Because when Washington fails, and it will, it already has, the neighborhood has to stand.

Charlie Kirk was doing one thing that people on our side were not doing. Speaking to the young.

But not in nostalgia.

Not in -- you know, Reagan, Reagan, Reagan.

In purpose. They don't remember. They don't remember who Dick Cheney was.

I was listening to Fox news this morning, talking about Dick Cheney. And there was somebody there that I know was not even born when Dick Cheney. When the World Trade Center came down.

They weren't even born. They were telling me about Dick Cheney.

And I was like, come on. Come on. Come on.

If you don't remember who Dick Cheney was, how are you going to remember 9/11. How will you remember who Reagan was.

That just says, that's an old man's creed. No, it's not.

It's the ultimate timeless rebellion against tyranny in all of its forms. Yes, and even the tyranny of despair, which is eating people alive!

We need to redefine ourselves. Because we have changed, and that's a good thing. The creed for a generation, that will decide the fate of the republic, is what we need to find.

A conservative in 2025, '26.

Is somebody who protects the enduring principles of American liberty and self-government.

While actively stewarding the institutions. The culture. The economy of this nation!

For those who are alive and yet to be unborn.

We have to be a group of people that we're not anchored in the past. Or in rage! But in reason. And morality. Realism. And hope for the future.

We're the stewards! We're the ones that have to relight the torch, not just hold it. We didn't -- we didn't build this Torch. We didn't make this Torch. We're the keepers of the flame, but we are honor-bound to pass that forward, and conservatives are viewed as people who just live in the past. We're not here to merely conserve the past, but to renew it. To sort it. What worked, what didn't work. We're the ones to say to the world, there's still such a thing as truth. There's still such a thing as virtue. You can deny it all you want.

But the pain will only get worse. There's still such a thing as America!

And if now is not the time to renew America. When is that time?

If you're not the person. If we're not the generation to actively stand and redefine and defend, then who is that person?

We are -- we are supposed to preserve what works.

That -- you know, I was writing something this morning.

I was making notes on this. A constitutionalist is for restraint. A progressive, if you will, for lack of a better term, is for more power.

Progressives want the government to have more power.

Conservatives are for more restraint.

But the -- for the American eagle to fly, we must have both wings.

And one can't be stronger than the other.

We as a conservative, are supposed to look and say, no. Don't look at that. The past teaches us this, this, and this. So don't do that.

We can't do that. But there are these things that we were doing in the past, that we have to jettison. And maybe the other side has a good idea on what should replace that. But we're the ones who are supposed to say, no, but remember the framework.

They're -- they can dream all they want.
They can come up with all these utopias and everything else, and we can go, "That's a great idea."

But how do we make it work with this framework? Because that's our job. The point of this is, it takes both. It takes both.

We have to have the customs and the moral order. And the practices that have stood the test of time, in trial.

We -- we're in an amazing, amazing time. Amazing time.

We live at a time now, where anything -- literally anything is possible!

I don't want to be against stuff. I want to be for the future. I want to be for a rich, dynamic future. One where we are part of changing the world for the better!

Where more people are lifted out of poverty, more people are given the freedom to choose, whatever it is that they want to choose, as their own government and everything.

I don't want to force it down anybody's throat.

We -- I am so excited to be a shining city on the hill again.

We have that opportunity, right in front of us!

But not in we get bogged down in hatred, in division.

Not if we get bogged down into being against something.

We must be for something!

I know what I'm for.

Do you?

How America’s elites fell for the same lie that fueled Auschwitz

Anadolu / Contributor | Getty Images

The drone footage out of Gaza isn’t just war propaganda — it’s a glimpse of the same darkness that once convinced men they were righteous for killing innocents.

Evil introduces itself subtly. It doesn’t announce, “Hi, I’m here to destroy you.” It whispers. It flatters. It borrows the language of justice, empathy, and freedom, twisting them until hatred sounds righteous and violence sounds brave.

We are watching that same deception unfold again — in the streets, on college campuses, and in the rhetoric of people who should know better. It’s the oldest story in the world, retold with new slogans.

Evil wins when good people mirror its rage.

A drone video surfaced this week showing Hamas terrorists staging the “discovery” of a hostage’s body. They pushed a corpse out of a window, dragged it into a hole, buried it, and then called in aid workers to “find” what they themselves had planted. It was theater — evil, disguised as victimhood. And it was caught entirely on camera.

That’s how evil operates. It never comes in through the front door. It sneaks in, often through manipulative pity. The same spirit animates the moral rot spreading through our institutions — from the halls of universities to the chambers of government.

Take Zohran Mamdani, a New York assemblyman who has praised jihadists and defended pro-Hamas agitators. His father, a Columbia University professor, wrote that America and al-Qaeda are morally equivalent — that suicide bombings shouldn’t be viewed as barbaric. Imagine thinking that way after watching 3,000 Americans die on 9/11. That’s not intellectualism. That’s indoctrination.

Often, that indoctrination comes from hostile foreign actors, peddled by complicit pawns on our own soil. The pro-Hamas protests that erupted across campuses last year, for example, were funded by Iran — a regime that murders its own citizens for speaking freely.

Ancient evil, new clothes

But the deeper danger isn’t foreign money. It’s the spiritual blindness that lets good people believe resentment is justice and envy is discernment. Scripture talks about the spirit of Amalek — the eternal enemy of God’s people, who attacks the weak from behind while the strong look away. Amalek never dies; it just changes its vocabulary and form with the times.

Today, Amalek tweets. He speaks through professors who defend terrorism as “anti-colonial resistance.” He preaches from pulpits that call violence “solidarity.” And he recruits through algorithms, whispering that the Jews control everything, that America had it coming, that chaos is freedom. Those are ancient lies wearing new clothes.

When nations embrace those lies, it’s not the Jews who perish first. It’s the nations themselves. The soul dies long before the body. The ovens of Auschwitz didn’t start with smoke; they started with silence and slogans.

A time for choosing

So what do we do? We speak truth — calmly, firmly, without venom. Because hatred can’t kill hatred; it only feeds it. Truth, compassion, and courage starve it to death.

Evil wins when good people mirror its rage. That’s how Amalek survives — by making you fight him with his own weapons. The only victory that lasts is moral clarity without malice, courage without cruelty.

The war we’re fighting isn’t new. It’s the same battle between remembrance and amnesia, covenant and chaos, humility and pride. The same spirit that whispered to Pharaoh, to Hitler, and to every mob that thought hatred could heal the world is whispering again now — on your screens, in your classrooms, in your churches.

Will you join it, or will you stand against it?

Bill Gates ends climate fear campaign, declares AI the future ruler

Bloomberg / Contributor | Getty Images

The Big Tech billionaire once said humanity must change or perish. Now he claims we’ll survive — just as elites prepare total surveillance.

For decades, Americans have been told that climate change is an imminent apocalypse — the existential threat that justifies every intrusion into our lives, from banning gas stoves to rationing energy to tracking personal “carbon scores.”

Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates helped lead that charge. He warned repeatedly that the “climate disaster” would be the greatest crisis humanity would ever face. He invested billions in green technology and demanded the world reach net-zero emissions by 2050 “to avoid catastrophe.”

The global contest is no longer over barrels and pipelines — it is over who gets to flip the digital switch.

Now, suddenly, he wants everyone to relax: Climate change “will not lead to humanity’s demise” after all.

Gates was making less of a scientific statement and more of a strategic pivot. When elites retire a crisis, it’s never because the threat is gone — it’s because a better one has replaced it. And something else has indeed arrived — something the ruling class finds more useful than fear of the weather.The same day Gates downshifted the doomsday rhetoric, Amazon announced it would pay warehouse workers $30 an hour — while laying off 30,000 people because artificial intelligence will soon do their jobs.

Climate panic was the warm-up. AI control is the main event.

The new currency of power

The world once revolved around oil and gas. Today, it revolves around the electricity demanded by server farms, the chips that power machine learning, and the data that can be used to manipulate or silence entire populations. The global contest is no longer over barrels and pipelines — it is over who gets to flip the digital switch. Whoever controls energy now controls information. And whoever controls information controls civilization.

Climate alarmism gave elites a pretext to centralize power over energy. Artificial intelligence gives them a mechanism to centralize power over people. The future battles will not be about carbon — they will be about control.

Two futures — both ending in tyranny

Americans are already being pushed into what look like two opposing movements, but both leave the individual powerless.

The first is the technocratic empire being constructed in the name of innovation. In its vision, human work will be replaced by machines, and digital permissions will subsume personal autonomy.

Government and corporations merge into a single authority. Your identity, finances, medical decisions, and speech rights become access points monitored by biometric scanners and enforced by automated gatekeepers. Every step, purchase, and opinion is tracked under the noble banner of “efficiency.”

The second is the green de-growth utopia being marketed as “compassion.” In this vision, prosperity itself becomes immoral. You will own less because “the planet” requires it. Elites will redesign cities so life cannot extend beyond a 15-minute walking radius, restrict movement to save the Earth, and ration resources to curb “excess.” It promises community and simplicity, but ultimately delivers enforced scarcity. Freedom withers when surviving becomes a collective permission rather than an individual right.

Both futures demand that citizens become manageable — either automated out of society or tightly regulated within it. The ruling class will embrace whichever version gives them the most leverage in any given moment.

Climate panic was losing its grip. AI dependency — and the obedience it creates — is far more potent.

The forgotten way

A third path exists, but it is the one today’s elites fear most: the path laid out in our Constitution. The founders built a system that assumes human beings are not subjects to be monitored or managed, but moral agents equipped by God with rights no government — and no algorithm — can override.

That idea remains the most “disruptive technology” in history. It shattered the belief that people need kings or experts or global committees telling them how to live. No wonder elites want it erased.

Soon, you will be told you must choose: Live in a world run by machines or in a world stripped down for planetary salvation. Digital tyranny or rationed equality. Innovation without liberty or simplicity without dignity.

Both are traps.

The only way

The only future worth choosing is the one grounded in ordered liberty — where prosperity and progress exist alongside moral responsibility and personal freedom and human beings are treated as image-bearers of God — not climate liabilities, not data profiles, not replaceable hardware components.

Bill Gates can change his tune. The media can change the script. But the agenda remains the same.

They no longer want to save the planet. They want to run it, and they expect you to obey.
