I'm not going to flame you at all. It's just sad that this could have been a huge publicity stunt for ratings thus greater advertising dollars. Even I admitted it got me to start listening to his radio show. Pffft ::grumbles::

I, for one, am just interested to see what the MSM is going to say about this. How will it be spun or even discussed. I'm not looking for the truth from any talking head, that would be personally irresponsible IMO.

You can find a lot more truth on any subject by reading and doing research on your own rather then watching a tv special. A lot of times those specials may spark an interest in someone to make them go do just that.

I think a lot of us are just curious about the spin and a peak behind the curtain at what they have up their sleeves.

I just hope that there are more of us self searchers then those that are smitten and so willing to accept the words of their idols.

Thank you for posting this article.

I think we should always approach everything from a skeptical outlook. What are some of the best sorces (not fanatical Alex Jones) for evidence of this topic in more main stream sources.

Please do not flame me, please just give me some pointers so I can research this topic. If this is real a LOT of U.S. citizens will want this information presented in a moderated, not fanatical presentation.

Thank you

This automatic "I hate Glenn Beck because he doesnt agree with this...." has got to go. Independant thinkers need to stick togather, even if theres disagreements here and there.

People with an independant mind, are free thinkers, who think outside the box, and eventually find the truth.

Support someone whos uncovering truth.

As a representative of a Corporate Leadership, I would think Mr. Beck would mind his words more carefully. I wouldn't hire him in my firm.

It isn't necessarily true that people didn't know about these FEMA camps before though. It is just the implications of someone like Glenn Beck discussing them on national television that gets people's attention. If it were Alex Jones on that show instead of Glenn Beck people wouldn't have made such a big deal about it (which is pretty stupid). The FEMA camps have already been covered, researched, and have been proven to exist long before Glenn Beck even decided to talk about it on his show. You can see the videos of the FEMA camps and the underground FEMA bases yourself. Millions/Billions of government dollars have been allocated to construct, renovate, maintain, and secure these facilities from the publics prying eyes. Something like that doesn't go unnoticed. It just goes unnoticed by people who choose to ignore it until someone like Glenn Beck comes around to say "Hey, the FEMA camps are real!"

I guess what I'm saying is that this isn't exactly a breaking story... It is an ever-evolving story, yes.. But I find it kind of sad that it took Glenn Beck to get people to come to their senses on this issue.

It is possible the MSM could see this as a way of getting publicity by fear-mongering. I think the main reason this is coming out now is because people are much more paranoid now about the economic and political situation and because of that they are willing to at least read more into the FEMA camps.
I think that somewhat explains why the FEMA camps are almost at the top of the list as far as google searches go. It also explains why the MSM might use the FEMA camps as a tool for self-expansion and company growth (as dimented as it sounds).

You also have the bleeding heart Republicans in this country paranoid about Obama taking guns away and destroying what they've built over the past 8 years under Bush. Bush turned capitalism into cronyism.. And the Republicans haven't exactly gotten over McCain losing the election. So much for right wing expansion. I think it just goes to show how Bush administration policies have divided the Republican party.

These people are so paranoid about communism taking over America that they're willing to take Glenn Beck's statements to heart. And its kind of sad in itself that Alex Jones got ignored for how many years???? Oh wait, now Glenn Beck sais the FEMA camps are real.. We better start stockpiling food and supplies for the coming American communist regime. I just think it's completely dilluted.. We've been discussing FEMA camps and underground FEMA bases for years on ATS.. It's nice to see the general public only a few years behind the times... LOL!

Even if this becomes a big news story in the MSM, it will inevitably be drowned out by other stories anyway just like this issue has in the past. People don't care about FEMA camps unless they're already paranoid.
We should've always been this paranoid! Sometimes a little paranoia actually brings people back to reality..But I think this story will eventually fade away into oblivion. Even though some people are going to inevitably come out of the fray and claim to be instant experts on FEMA camps and the coming Communist regime. I mean, how many people are going to get rich writing books about FEMA camps we've already known about for years?? All because some people want to ride the gravy train of public panic and paranoia.

I think you would.

He has shown that he is a team player, that he is able to follow commands and he is able to do it with a wink and a smile.

I think if he worked for you that you would be doing the same as FOX; giving him a raise.

Did anyone download the Glenn Beck & Fox and Friends show that Beck said he couldn't debunk them? You can't pull that one up anywhere on the net that I see. My sister doesn't believe Beck said any such thing. I want to prove her wrong. She loves Glenn Beck.
