EXCLUSIVE: Glenn Beck’s “Overton Window” Bin Laden Predictions and Admissions

By: Jay

Think what you will of Glenn Beck, it is a fact that his “Overton Window” book that came out last year is chock full of subtleties and hints.  Whoever wrote the book with Beck is/was clearly ‘in the know.’ However, to my knowledge, no one has yet elucidated the interesting predictions that relate directly to the  present Bin Laden situation.  When the book came out, Alex Jones mentioned that the book refers to him as one of its characters that exposed the MIAC Report.  However, there is an interesting statement that occurs in the book as follows:

Here we have admissions of the “terrorists” being trained in the US and using fake names.

The convesation continues:

 
The Muslims are not a real terrorist group. But it’s useful especially during elections, and Osama often pops up!

 

Beck’s book was released June 15, 2010. This means the bogus fantasy of Bin Laden’s narrative is scripted, just like the Jessica Lynch story was admittedly scripted by Jerry Bruckheimer, as the London Guardian reports:

“Back in 2001, the man behind Black Hawk Down, Jerry Bruckheimer, had visited the Pentagon to pitch an idea. Bruckheimer and fellow producer Bertram van Munster, who masterminded the reality show Cops, suggested Profiles from the Front Line, a primetime television series following US forces in Afghanistan. They were after human stories told through the eyes of the soldiers. Van Munster’s aim was to get close and personal. He said: “You can only get accepted by these people through chemistry. You have to have a bond with somebody. Only then will they let you in. What these guys are doing out there, these men and women, is just extraordinary. If you’re a cheerleader of our point of view – that we deserve peace and that we deal with human dignity – then these guys are really going out on a limb and risking their own lives.”

It was perfect reality TV, made with the active cooperation of Donald Rumsfeld and aired just before the Iraqi war. The Pentagon liked what it saw. “What Profiles does is given another in depth look at what forces are doing from the ground,” says Whitman. “It provides a very human look at challenges that are presented when you are dealing in these very difficult situations.” That approached was taken on and developed on the field of battle in Iraq”

Language Event, Narrative Structure and God

The movement upward in this consideration as presented is fractal-esque

By: Jay 

I propose a modified form of the transcendental argument for God’s existence. Not that it’s different, but it’s an aspect to the argument I’ve never seen previous proponents take. It occurred to me while reading Alisdair MacIntyre and while considering some of what Husserl and Karl Otto Appel have said. But of course, debates get old. They get old as I get old, maybe. Anyway, the subject matter itself is still worthy of reflection, even if one chooses not to engage in debate. Didn’t debate used to be a respected art? yes. But in our INGSOC modernity, questioning is itself suspect. But to the point. 

MacIntyre points out that there is a kind of narrative structure for any meaningful conversation to take place. He makes a convincing case in his piece mentioned above. It occurred to me that for the localized instance of conversation to make sense, though, there has to be a larger narrative structure within which the localized conversation takes place. MacIntyre’s The Virtues, The Unity of a Human Life and the Concept of a Tradition gives an example along the lines of approaching someone gardening. To say a nonsense statement like “flight of the condor eats cheese wings perpetually,” has no meaning. In fact, to say even a meaningful phrase assumes some sort of context, such as, “how is the gardening coming?” or something of that nature. So why is it that we do one and not the other? Deconstructionists, relativists, nihilists, and so on, can say that it’s just utilitarian and social convention that has caused to use certain sounds in a certain way to stand for certain things, and that we evolved this way, blah blah blah. 

But this kind of simple, mundane interaction doesn’t just show a kind of appropriateness to the content of what can be said, it also evidences a narrative structure. For example, generally, such a conversation would have a greeting, middle, and climax. Granted not always per se, but even a passing hello, has a kind of narrative structure to it, with an intended meaning that one party has, that the other party receives and many or may not acknowledge. Again, the intentions obviously vary as well as the received meanings and responses, but none of this changes the loosely narrative structure of such interactions. Read more of this post
