Glenn Beck’s new publication Propaganda Wars: How the International Elite Control What You See, Think, and Feel is a prophetic reminder to all freedom-loving Americans about the danger posed by false news, proper disinformation, and mainstream media fraud.
Beginning with his first book,” Pleasant to Clown World,” Beck ramps up to full throttle after the jaded lies and power schemes of the media and their numerous official and unofficial partners.
The rapid development of unbelievably potent technology to press propaganda is not novel, but it is. As Beck writes:
The advertising wars that have erupted as atomic bombs are now waging a powerful assault on democracy and societal cohesion.
Beck even warns that “advanced tech is also serving to completely remove the line between fact and fiction” despite producing some “wonderful stuff.”
Second, the good: This guide serves as a proper wake-up call regarding the need for a community to have an achievement standard of truth.
As Beck observes, “if individuals aren’t allowed to pursue a greater knowledge of the highest, most fundamental beliefs, then what is the point of all the other right”?
Beck’s plan to launch an upcoming massive citizen watchdog project (“ the biggest grassroots journalism project in history” ) through The Blaze, where readers and viewers can send in evidence of corruption and fraud in institutions, corporations, and government bodies, is also apt.
Republicans mistakenly believe that America will end up as Venezuela, China, Russia, or some other contemporary totalitarian state as the worst possible outcome. Beck points out that in his previous text, Dark Future, he has warned that the reality is much more grave and includes:” I wish that were the case,” Beck writes.
The probable rise of a very effective never-before-seen technocratic hellscape. This prospect will be dominated by artificial intelligence, state controlled digital assets, bio-tracking equipment, technology and other innovative technology, all of which are being designed by Davos leaders as we speak.
Beck cautions against misinformation and the possibility of out-of-control crony capitalism and government control, and urges readers to not put their hopes on politicians for redemption. The book also deserves severe credit for not being just republican. Beck is a clear proponent of the straight of yet his ideological foes to question anything and vote for any politician they like. In reality, published Oct. 22, Beck’s guide at times sounds a negative word that’s at odds with the recent excitement on much of the right following Trump’s subsequent victory.
No matter what happens on election day 2024, 26 or even 2028, according to Beck, the conservative and liberal movements in America may be trapped in an endless loop of disappointment and sorrow if we don’t alter our lessons, and soon, the country will be entangled in an endless cycle of failure and disappointment.
The book looks at the danger of deepfakes, the proliferation of bots, social media addiction and manipulation, AI, algorithmic manipulation that reinforces echo chambers, digital currencies, and other technological hot topics that Beck has already addressed at length in his past work.
The main thrust of Propaganda Wars is, however, on methods for separating truth from fiction. Starting with skepticism about those who only tell you what you want to hear, avoiding outlets and voices that hold the view that men can be women, and keeping an eye out for fact presentations that are purely narrative-based, is necessary.
Beck refutes widely held conspiracy theories and contends that elites don’t plan and implement specific crises but rather spend time meticulously planning for any crisis, and then offer their high-control, low-freedom solution to the public as the only response. He mentions Event 201 wargames ‘ preparation for a pandemic response as an illustration of how elites are constantly writing their own script and formula for whatever happens so they can press for propaganda and impose outcomes.
Beck raises the alarm over what he refers to as the” Davos elites” ‘ method of manipulation and coercion of the general public’s opinions and decisions. The PIC, according to Beck, is” a vast network of key organizations, government agencies, international institutions, media outlets, corporations and NGOs, all of whom work together to systematically gain more power, more wealth and influence over society”.
The PIC then exaggerates the crisis when it occurs by thoroughly preparing for all scenarios, increasing fear and confusion in order to implement large government programs and new technologies in the name of safety. They roll out ambitious, freedom-killing public-private partnerships and then silence and demonize any dissent, presenting it as crazy and unfounded.
Beck’s book is not only for believers, but ultimately he makes the case that an agreed upon reality disappears as a result. Therefore, Beck emphasizes the importance of the belief in God and Christ, explaining that the promotion of lies is” a sin against God” and a form of harm to both oneself and humanity.
Beck admits that he is” not perfect,” but that he constantly strives to improve and resists the urge to reside in an echo chamber. He cites the length of his podcast and the more in-depth content he creates as an illustration of avoiding straightforward soundbite journalism.
The Propaganda Wars ‘ most powerful resurgence encourages America to renounce its pre-Christian conceptions of identity, reality, and right and wrong before it is too late. The “woke mob” has snared the “woke mob,” while Hollywood, the academy, and pop culture “lost all common sense a long time ago.” This is true of both churches and previously trusted institutions. It’s hard to argue with that, and Beck’s plan to counter it with a grassroots-level infusion of truth is smart and brave.
The bad part comes next, where the book begins, with a critique of woke culture and the transgender movement’s extremes, which are already well-known to most people. It is obvious that no one can agree on a standard of truth, and that there is a risk of a faceless power intervening to instrumentalize that in a social credit system. Propaganda Wars warns of the formation of a technocratic control system under the auspices of AI, which I already raised in my 2022 book, The Globalist Plan to Destroy America.
Furthermore, in focusing on how to distinguish what is factually true or not, Beck fails to address the aesthetic, subjective, and emotional roots of why people believe something or not, which is not just about what is factually true, but with what is aligned with their values and worldview. In other words, Beck attempts to fuse morality with scientific rationalism, which is ultimately libertarianism’s fatal flaw.
Ultimately, Beck’s book doesn’t present much that’s new other than his grassroots watchdog project. Despite all of that, it still serves as a powerful reminder and wake-up call regarding the dangers that America and the rest of the world are in the technocratic era.
