Meh...Glenn Beck

Here's a classic example of why I dislike Glenn Beck. In short...HALF TRUTHS and SPIN.

Glenn: [paraphrasing here] "I'm not concerned with Google reading my email, tapping phone lines, or stealing Grandma's recipe....that's kind of paranoia is reserved for the left."

Uh no Glenn, that's not paranoia and it's not simply something reserved for the left. It's something reserved for Americans; real, true, liberty, freedom loving Americans.

Glenn, it's not "kooky" or "weird" to think that Google is spying on Americans. They are.
And, they're embroiled in lawsuits over it while admitting they steal information over wireless systems when they drive around in their Google street cars and vans.

He lost me when he spoke in detail of murdering someone on the other side of the political aisle.

That's not funny. Perhaps a few nights in jail might cure that.

Alex Jones wouldn't be afraid of saying this. As regular readers of my blog well know I don't always consider "paranoia" to be a bad thing, often it's a pejorative used when people are getting too close to the truth. As Alex Jones has said about Glenn Beck he's still a part of Corporate Media and therefore doesn't go far enough and even though they try to act otherwise FOX News is still a part of corporate media. Believe me Rupert Murdoch ain't no outsider.

Alex Jones also isn't afraid of ranting about non-existent threats.

Paranoia is a bad thing if you are wasting your time worrying about stuff that does not exist or will never harm you.

Jones is also part of the corporate media. He is aired on the Genesis Communication Network, itself a corporation, and worse yet, tied into a gold-selling corporation.

Due to assets, frivolous lawsuits, etc it ends up being advantatious for all for the tiniest obscure businesses to become corporations

Also, "And, they're embroiled in lawsuits over it while admitting they steal information over wireless systems when they drive around in their Google street cars and vans."

It might be time to crack open a dictionary. Does Google actually remove the information it finds on wireless networks? Or do they just copy it?

What Google is doing meets no definition of theft:

1. To take (the property of another) without right or permission.
2. To present or use (someone else's words or ideas) as one's own.

(the first one involving theft of property, and the second one involving impersionation)
