Beck Radio: Anti-Capitalism video playing in schools???

[HawkeyeLonewolf]

Anyone listening to Beck now (10:00 hour)... he's playing the audio of a video being played in schools all over the country.

It's anti-Capitalism, with a sweet voiced woman talking about how corporations are evil and people are excluded, etc...

"Extraction" = "Natural Resource Exploitation" = "Trashing the Environment"

If you have the email newsletter, he will send the link..

This is AWFUL!

[HawkeyeLonewolf]

If anyone knows a link to this NOW or the name of the video, please advise.

[Jabbamagnus]

He's suppose to send the link in his email newsletter. If anybody gets this, please link it. I'd like to see this and prepare my kids for it. Also I may contact my school district.

From what little Beck played, it seems rather disturbing.

[killSocialism]

Luckily my school district seems rather conservative.......hopefully they wouldn't be playing this but I'm going to have to find out.

I would like to know if they plan to show this leftist propaganda at my kids school.

That was sick to the max.

I would like to know if they plan to show this leftist propaganda at my kids school.

Well, I live in one of the reddest counties in the country and I am pretty sure our schools showed this one, though I'll have to check with my kids today to be certain, I think I remember their mentioning it.

[killSocialism]

I don't get YouTube here but from the descriptions, it is indeed leftist drivel.

Beck reported the watchdog group that sent it to him said it is being shown in 7,000 schools so far across the country.

[Jabbamagnus]

[Edit] NM KillSocialism answered it.

[blackcatrun]

I haven't any idea yet how many schools it was shown in but it has been shown because a watchdog sent it to Glenn Beck for his attention after the watchdogs kid was exposed to it.
It may have been in science class. That where they paniced my son with algores global warming and we all will be frying and dead in ten years.

[BlackCloud09]

And, you know, that schools will show this video. After my kid's school district told parents that they wouldn't be showing President Obama's proposed speech to children they turned around and showed them all a video tape of it.

They'll show this garbage too!

[ThrowCop]

Beck reported the watchdog group that sent it to him said it is being shown in 7,000 schools so far across the country.Unless it is being shown as an example of supreme stupidity & the dangers of tofu & chai tea, then I would have a major problem with it being shown to any child of mine.

It was a Tides Foundation video by the way,no surprise it's Marxist propaganda coming from them.

And unless the students were handed rotten fruit to pelt the screen with it has no business in schools heh.

But this does dovetail nicely with the current story on Chavez indoctrinating Venezuela's children in their schools.

Lol, ours too, when parents called in droves to object to their kids having to watch Obama's speech they reassured them they absolutely wouldn't be showing it, then showed the vdeo like three days later.

[highroller]

It's nothing worse than what they showed students (me) in private school 15 years ago. Plus there's a lot of truth in it. I didn't hear them calling for government intervention, but I might have missed it if they did.

[Mishiny]

I've said it before and I'll say it again... my absolute respect for all of you with children! I don't know how any of you can keep your cool. I wouldn't even want my cats (children) seeing this video! I worry about my nephews in TX though. :cry: The ones in NY are already indocrinated by their liberal parents. Sad.

When I was covering a Social Studies class I showed a film that gave a very positive explaination of capitalism.
I'll look the whole video later(Dr. appt) but all I saw was anti-pollution.
I'm in favor of controlled capitalism but against pollution.
I know there's no such thing as acid rain and the liberal scientist have sabotaged the nation's litmus paper to turn pink in Ph.7 pure water.

[HawkeyeLonewolf]

Funny!

She may have lost kids around the 13 minute mark when she blathered about planned obsolesence and desktop computers. She claims that each new year's model changes the CPU and the "shape" so that you cannot just replace the part.

LIE!

Maybe 10 years ago. But not now, provided your motherboard (most are) is not already maxed out (most are not). I bet a lot of computer savvy kids know this.

*shrug* My kids are smart,I walked them through what communism/socialism and propaganda was early, they can spot it a mile away, they are 11 and 13. They know all about Mao and Lenin and their legacy. It's not hard to make them immune to that crap when all the objective facts are on our side.

[aep1974]

I was (and still am) listening. That was a God-awful, frightening indoctrination audio. I want to see the video; I want the exposure to kill this. Good job Glenn!

Go Beck's Children ... start threads! Be plentiful!!!!And along comes the EPA
And, notes the Journal's Ian Talley, the Obama administration is spending big to tell us what we should be doing on the energy issues:

"The administration aims to teach them—literally. The Environmental Protection Agency is focusing on real children. Partnering with the Parent Teacher Organization, the agency earlier this month launched a cross-country tour of 6,000 schools to teach students about climate change and energy efficiencyAnd just why is the EPA in the schools teaching anything? Teaching is not the EPA's job.

Smart kids aren't my concern. I honestly thought there were more smart than ignorant people before this last voting cycle. I stand corrected.

Hey, just because the Tides Foundation funds terrorist groups and communists is no reason to deny them access to our school children.

[PSBandit]

I expect more of this type of propaganda from the BHO drones:

The private sector is evil greedy racist white fat and make.... <gasp> ....profits. <grone>

The poor government and BHO run out of money and are in the red.... they are the only ones who really help people. Help them help everyone.

Ahhh yes the class/marxist warfare card.

[simssk]

So it's looking like the money that was given to NEA was put to use already.

I'm sure most kids, especially young teenagers are worried about all the "stuff" they have.

Ask them to give up their cell phones because it's just "stuff".

Damn those capitalists and their stuff. Ya hear that kids?

[BravoBuzzard]

When did 'we' decide that? I don't want the government to watch out for me except to keep the undesirables out of my borders. Beyond that, they can keep their care. I'll care for me and mine.

The hubris of this crowd absolutely amazes. But what is worse is that so, so many people don't even see it.

[aep1974]

OK, so I just finished watching this tripe over my lunch break. A few observations:

1. I would love to see how this chick is living. Is she composting everything? Does she use her hand to wipe her ass? Oh wait.....she's just regurgitating an opinion piece without practicing what she preaches? Yeah, I thought so... :rolleyes:

2. Nice thinly veiled attack on our military. Funny considering the military is one of the few remaining Constitutionally mandated things that we are funding these days. :doh:

3. It's the government's job to protect us? Really? :eh:

4. I wonder why she didn't mention all the tree planting that goes on to replenish what we cut down for human use. Could it be because that wouldn't help the Tide Foundations' agenda? :think:

The bottom line for me is that this is a damaging piece of propaganda with a few facts mixed in with lots and lots of opinion. Not shocking really that our government-funded schools are showing this crap, but it's truly disturbing that so many kids are being exposed to such indoctrination.

[HawkeyeLonewolf]

Carbon Credits = Catholic Indulgences (no offense), a big old moneymaking scheme for something totally unneeded.

[HawkeyeLonewolf]

Made it through the whole thing finally.

About 15 minutes in, there is a correct segment about over-consumerism, but that doesn't make consumerism bad in and of itself.

I like that she points out she has a large monitor on her computer -- a huge power drain. :)

Technically it was a well presented piece but the BS factor was pretty comical.

[-American-]

Notice how she states that the U.S. has less than 4% of its original forest land left. Not sure where she got that figure, but she seems to be saying that the U.S. has used up pretty much all of its forest and only 4% is left. I remember reading somewhere that we have more forest land today than 100 years ago. I can't seem to find a link on that though.

the 4% of ORIGINAL land left is probably the Redwoods that are still alive. The rest of the trees would have died, fallen over and contaimated the land had we not properly harvested and replanted them.

It's like I have 0% of my skin that I had last year because each cell falls off and regenerates.

The question is would any teacher worth their salt play Glenn's rebuttal with out political commentary? Will they allow the students to make up their minds on what's going on? Critical thinking has to be encouraged in school. Schools are training ground for liberal drones waiting to do the bidding of the party.

Many on the left seem to love using the tatic of putting out false information, half truths, and crap science to further their agenda. They also seem to enjoy dumbing down our kids by trying to pass off lies like this "Story of Stuff" video as the gospel.

The bull they fed us on the after president speech lessons kinda learning?
Folks wonder why parents like me get all up in arms when videos like this ment to ruin this nations freedom and wealth for government sponcered control are run in 7000 schools with out parental notice. Then I see a thread on here witha song praising obama.

This is the exact reason why was and remian against letting obama in our schools as some sorta god like figuare.

Is there NOTHING that isn't a "crisis" these days? :rolleyes:

[pubschteacher]

Beck reported the watchdog group that sent it to him said it is being shown in 7,000 schools so far across the country.

Actually...

More than 7,000 schools, churches and others have ordered a DVD version, and hundreds of teachers have written Ms. Leonard to say they have assigned students to view it on the Web.

Schools, churches and others have ORDERED the DVD version. So we actually don't know how many schools ordered it or even used it for that matter.

Hundreds of teachers? There are 3.2 million public school teachers in this country

If I remember correctly, this first came to light last May.

Much ado....

[Home of the FREE!]

I had heard part of this today on the radio program but just watched the tivo of his tv show.

The show tonight may have been his best yet IMHO and I can only hope this gains alot of traction.

One thing he said that is 100% correct.....while everyday Americans are out working and running their day to day lives, these people are meeting and laying ground work and have been for many, many years.

I am growing more sick and more tired of the treacherous, destructive Left every day.

[HawkeyeLonewolf]

It's scary isn't it!

[Antrel]

Actually, if you threw away maybe two minutes of the video, it's a very good lecture on the blind, consumerist economy driving us and in many ways the planet into debt. The biggest thing I'd disagree with is the blame on the corporations rather than the government. The government serves to gain from the corporations, and the "fat cats" are a direct and intended consequence of its actions and market interventionism. If she would have devoted those 30 seconds into pointing that out, rather than erroneously simplifying it to blame big business, I think you'd have a very sound demonstration.

Gigantic corporations, limited competition, blind consumerism, and a population immersed in debt are not products of a free market. This isn't a critique on capitalism, it's a viable dissection of corporatism.

I'd also throw in that I'm not a fan of her over-dramatizing the toxins used to produce certain materials. Many, purely natural elements that we interact with daily are toxic as well.
