Editor's Note: GlennBeck.com will not be posting the uncensored images from tonight's monologue in our story or video. Only subscribers to TheBlaze TV will be able to see the uncensored images in the full 7/28/2014 episode of The Glenn Beck Program. More details HERE.

I want to thank you for watching tonight. I want to warn you that tonight you’re going to see some very disturbing images that you won’t see on other outlets, but I think it’s really important. In fact, I spent a lot of time this weekend debating with myself whether or not to show them to you, and I came down on the side of we showed the pictures of the Holocaust, and if we hadn’t have shown the pictures of the Holocaust, I don’t think anybody would believe it. And as it turns out, because we don’t show the pictures of the Holocaust because they’re too horrible to look at, we no longer believe it.

I want to show you these pictures tonight not because of their brutality but because they don’t fit the narrative, and that’s why nobody else is showing them. It’s a narrative that is hopelessly lost in politics and completely detached from the old standard that we used to use. We used to use the standard of good and evil. It was very pretty basic, good and evil. Whether it’s due to wistful blindness or ignorance, but we have lost the ability to be able to distinguish between these two.

And I want to show you an example. These are things that are just off the top of my head that are pretty easy to be able to say, some of them. Swearing used to be the old standard. Swearing is wrong. It’s wrong. Don’t talk that way. Don’t talk that way in front of a woman. Don’t talk that way in front of, you know, your parents, whatever. Don’t talk that way. And it came from the Judeo-Christian values. But now swearing, I don’t even know if we teach that that’s wrong anymore.

Feed the hungry, is that good? Is that clearly in the good category now? Because there are people now who are angry that we fed the hungry down at the border. So is it good? Is it clearly good to feed the hungry?

How about greed? There are people who are libertarian that say greed is good. Ayn Rand would say greed is good. Is it good or is it evil? Genocide, is it good or is it evil? Lying, forgiving one another, slavery, comfort the sick…may I just suggest that there are a couple of things that are pretty absolute, and I would say feeding the hungry, feeding the hungry is always good.

Forgiving is always good. Comforting the sick, always good. Lying, yeah, that dress does make you look fat – sometimes, not sure. Swearing, I think it’s wrong, but I’m not going to – greed, you can go both ways on that. I think greed is wrong, but I understand what Ayn Rand was saying. But when you look at evil, on this list, I will tell you at no time is slavery or genocide anything other than evil, at no time.

TheBlaze TV

We can debate the fact that, you know, we have the death penalty. Well, should we kill those people? We can debate that. We can debate that. But if I said we’re going to kill everybody who is this race, color, or creed, and we’re just going to wipe them all off, everyone would know, I think you’re in the evil category, right?

Slavery, the same thing, you don’t have a right to enslave anyone. Well, both of these things are happening in the world today, and they’re both happening with exactly the same people, and we’re not willing to call it by its name. Here’s how you know. It’s really interesting to me, if you believe in evil, and I do, I believe in good, and I believe in an opposing force of evil. Not everybody does, but if you do, you know that the Dark Lord, the Sith Lord, never takes and introduces something entirely new. He always just perverts those things that are good, reverses it, turns it upside down.

That’s how you can spot it. It’s been completely perverted and reversed and reversed – L, I, V, E, live. When you’re snuffing out someone’s right to live, we hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal and endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. I have a right to live, to live.

Let me show you. I’m going to start in Israel. Today, the world pounced on reports from Gaza police that Israel had bombed a hospital. Okay, that’s pretty bad, right? That’s evil, except there’s no real context here, it’s just Israel bombs hospitals. And we should condemn people who are bombing hospitals, except there’s one little problem, is there any context to this story? Every single little opportunity, as if this nation the size of New Jersey could possibly oppress the billions of Muslims who surround them.

Hamas continues to break cease-fire agreements and rain down thousands of rockets on Israeli civilians. We also showed you the videotape taken from the IDF of the hospital, of the schools. We showed you that they did an infrared scan to see is there anybody in there? Yet Israel gets the blame, and they get the horrible headlines.

I showed you last week how Hamas cowardly hides their stockpiles behind civilian targets. This weekend on TheBlaze there was a story about how they uncovered next to children’s cribs bombs from Hamas. The great pains that Israel goes through to make sure that they hit only terrorist targets, but they can’t do that all the time. It’s war. Those things are rarely reported. Instead, we just go right for Israel bombs hospitals. What? And then into another heroic freedom flotilla for Gaza.

That’s what’s being prepared now in Turkey, the same place the last freedom flotilla sailed back in 2010. We were together at FOX, and I took an awful lot of heat for pointing out the freedom flotilla. In fact, I was the only one. There is no national voice that I trust that is going to be telling the truth about what’s happening on this freedom flotilla.

I remember how much heat I took to not stop pounding that story because nobody else was telling you the story. The world now luckily remembers that event, at least you do in the context of truth, but the world looks at this as Israeli aggression and violence because that’s what the world showed on television. But the truth is much different.

The peace activists knew about the blockade. They were warned when they got close, but they breached it anyway. They prepared for the conflict. They wanted the conflict. They ambushed the two Israeli commandos who boarded the boat. They beat them first with metal pipes. At least one commando was stabbed. Do you remember this video? Another was tossed overboard. The IDF had to use force, but the spin was big bad Israel slaughters innocent peace activists. That’s not what happened.

Now, Turkey this weekend gave the blessing for another freedom flotilla. I want to give you some perspective here. Turkey’s Prime Minister just last week had this to say about Israel: “(Israelis) have no conscience, no honor, no pride. Those who condemn Hitler day and night have surpassed Hitler in barbarism.” That’s saying something because remember, we have all deemed slavery and genocide as evil, right?

TheBlaze TV

We know genocide is evil, and the Prime Minister of Turkey is saying that they are worse than Hitler who we know did genocide. That’s quite a statement. It is so far detached from reality, but if it were actually true, let’s just say it was, what he’s saying is the world has a responsibility for getting rid of the modern-day Hitler. Now, I love this logo here for him, and the reason why love it is because it’s very reminiscent of another logo.

And it makes sense because the current administration, President Obama, has a very close relationship with this man, and it’s extremely disturbing. The president has called him a friend. They have shared parenting tips. When the president won his election, he was the first guy that the president called. He says he is a partner in peace in the region, and it’s not just a hey, you know, they punch above their weight. He means it with this guy.

Why would we partner with this man? Why would we, especially with anti-Semitism and bigotry and hate rising all over the Middle East? Does a man who says that the Jews have surpassed Hitler in genocide and evil, is he a guy that we wrap our arms around? People are rioting now in anti-Israel protests all around the country. There were big, they weren’t riots, but they were big gatherings in the United States. But this one is an actual riot, and it was happening in Paris, France.

France has seen some of the worst protests that are anti-Israel and pro-Palestinian. That’s probably the bigger thing here is pro-Palestinian. They were seen making the Hitler salutes. I mean, the last time we had people that were giving Hitler salutes on the streets of France, it was a bad thing, I thought. The world thought was. I wonder where the Parisians are now.

But if Israel is more barbaric than Adolf Hitler, I wonder what the Turkish Prime Minister thinks of what ISIS is doing in Syria and Iraq. Mohamed Elomar, he is a terrorist that originates from Australia, and he has just posed for several pictures that were posted on social media. Most media blacked out these images. A few blogs have the full gruesome images. I warn you that these images are extraordinarily disturbing.

I made this choice because I think it’s irresponsible to not show you the face of evil. You have to know what’s going on, and you have to know okay, so wait a minute, people are defending their right to exist, because in the Hamas charter it says Allah has promised that he would wipe out all of the Jews, evil, genocide. That’s in their charter, and so Israel is making the case, hey, we have a right to live, we have a right to protect ourselves so we can exist, so we can live as a people.

It is irresponsible of me not to show you the face of evil because next they come for you, and that’s not hyperbole, that’s not Glenn Beck fearmongering. What that is is quoting them. Israel is being equated with evil and equated with Hitler, but those who surround them, those who oppose them are not, and this is what they are doing. There is your terrorist.

Okay, this is what they’re doing to Christians and Muslims who disagree with them. Notice the pile of heads. They are chopping off heads in Iraq, and they are smiling while doing it.

Do you remember how outraged we were when we thought that American soldiers would be urinating on dead bodies? This, my friend, is what evil looks like. This is what Israel is up against, heads on pikes and fences.

We have told you this was happening for a while, but we haven’t had the evidence to prove it until now. I believe you have to see the truth. You have to see what evil looks like, because it matters. It matters.

Let me take you someplace I never thought we would actually go. I never thought we would, you know, take the words, in talking about good and evil, take the words of an atheist who technically, again, I don’t think believes in good and evil, but the words of Christopher Hitchens. He was speaking in 2010, and I think this is really important that you listen to what he’s saying.

Hitchens: Because anti-Semitism is the godfather of racism and the gateway to tyranny and fascism and war, it is to be regarded not as the enemy of the Jewish people, but as the common enemy of humanity and of civilization and has to be fought against very tenaciously for that reason, most especially in its current most virulent form of Islamic Jihad.
Our task is to call this filthy thing, this plague, this, this pest, by its right name, to make unceasing resistance to it, knowing all the time that it’s probably ultimately ineradicable, and bearing in mind that its hatred towards us is a compliment, and resolving (some of the time, at any rate) to do a bit more to deserve it.

Amen. Maybe we should do a little more to deserve their hatred. Are we standing up against it? I will tell you that I was shocked when I heard those words because he absolutely is right. He gets it. If you look back in the history, the Holocaust happened once, once, but the attempt to kill all the Jews has happened 19 times. Let’s not make it an even 20. Let’s stand, let’s choose a different path. Let us be the people who say we know the difference.

We could argue all you want on swearing and greed and lying. We can argue all you want. On this one and this one, what do you say we get it right? That’s not a fluky sentiment. This is a pattern repeated throughout history. This is what evil looks like.

Some people are trying to stand for the truth. Hashtag went viral on social media, it’s #JewsandArabsrefusetobeenemies, what a great concept, what a great concept. I know Arabs, I know Palestinians, and I know Jews. And they don’t all hate each other. It’s like, you know, the Cold War. When the Iron Curtain came down, and we saw people, not the leadership, not what the politicians and the leaders wanted us to believe, but people, we were all the same.

But even this now has been co-opted online by the people who want to continue the violence and the efforts to wipe one side out. That’s why we can’t sit idly by now. That’s why I want you to share those pictures with your friends. You have to show them this is who we’re up against. I want you to see the break we have coming up in just a second. I’m going to be talking to a guy who has witnessed this firsthand, and he is calling for people, it is time, it is time to stand and call evil evil.

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

"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

"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.
