Hillary Clinton giving away cookstoves ?
Glenn Beck: Why cookstoves? And why Hillary?
September 22, 2010 - 12:45 ET
Why cookstoves? And why Hillary?
GLENN: So that's where we split. Now, the third thing is if you are going to free up the free market system, if this is indeed the American experiment and we think that it is broken, we have to go back to the original documents and the original intent and see what did we do, where did we go wrong. Those are our three things: It's unsustainable. Free market and entrepreneurial spirit is what's going to fix it. As long as we fix the fundamentals and get back to the basics, we'll be okay. But the Obama administration and those in congress believe the system is unsustainable, redistribution of wealth is the answer, and forget about the fundamentals of the Constitution. We need a new global structure. This is why you don't understand stories, because you keep looking at them with your point of view. Choice number one: Free market, original intent. Look at the stories with the idea that we're going to fundamentally transform into a global structure that pays the rest of the world. Because we're an oppressor, it pays the rest of the world and we equal out all of our salaries and our incomes and everything else, globally speaking. It's the only way you can make sense of a labor union that says, hey, we're looking out for you, and we're looking out for the Chinese worker. Because the Chinese worker makes $1.50 a day and the average union worker makes, what, $65,000. There's no way, there's no way. You can't balance that out... unless you really bring the American worker to its knees.
Let me give you two stories that prove this out. Household wealth falling. Not only are your incomes falling but your wealth is falling as well. The U.S. Government is now according this is according to the Congressional Budget Office. According to analysts cited on Sunday, quote: The government is lying about the amount of debt. It is engaging in Enron accounting. We've told you this before. So why would they, why would they do that? Because they've got to get their structure in first. What structure? Make sense of this story in the first framework, your framework: Free market system and let's go back to the principles, the basics. Senator Hillary Clinton announced a global alliance for clean cookstoves Tuesday. Clinton said the first major applied research and development effort to improve design, lower cost and develop global industry standards for cookstoves. Second, a broad based campaign to create a commercial market for clean stoves including reducing trade barriers, promoting consumer awareness, and boosting access to a large scale carbon financing. The U.S. is to fund $50 million over the next five years to provide clean cooking stoves to developing countries. She went on to say, our long term goal is to have universal adoption all over the world.
Can you make sense of that in the free market sense, in the "Let's go back to the basics"? No. But if I said can you make sense of that story if you look at it through the eyes of America's the oppressor, so we have to redistribute the wealth globally; and we are doing everything we can to piece by piece build global governance. Does that story make sense? Yes. That is the way you must begin to look at Washington. Through their eyes. Otherwise you will dismiss stories like clean global standards for clean cookstoves and say, what the hell is Hillary Clinton doing! What difference does this make? The entire country is burning down! Yes. They know that. I have told you for the year, last year now. They are building a structure. They are building a framework for this system to collapse into. That's what the little clean cookstove thing is about. It's just one of the hundreds and hundreds, if not thousands of pieces that are already in place. Because I know Cass Sunstein and because I know history and Bernays, the father of American propaganda, I know what comes. And what comes is as I tell you these things and I use their own words and we will do that at the top of the hour. We use their own words. Their own words are not enough for them. Facts do not matter. They don't care. They will look at, you know, someone whose arms and legs have been cut off and say, what plug? I don't even know what you're talking about. I see his arms and legs. I didn't cut them off. What are you talking about? That's the way they are. So their own words don't matter. And so it will be made into, "Well, this is a conspiracy," et cetera, et cetera. No, it's not. And you hold fast to what makes sense. If there is some other theory out there that is a grand unifying theory that works better than this one, let me know what it is because I don't want to believe this. I have to. Because it's the only thing that makes sense. And they're on the record left and right, and Cass Sunstein has said the government must discredit conspiracy theories. He defines conspiracy theories again in his own words. He describes conspiracy theories as anything that disagrees with the government or administration. He says discredit conspiracy theories even if in the end they turn out to be accurate. He is also the guy who says once no, I'm sorry. John Holdren is the guy is it Holdren? No, it's Sunstein. Sunstein is also the guy who said the American people are like Homer Simpson and once you understand this, there's a lot that can be done to manipulate them. That is a quote. We'll play it for you at the top of the hour. Well, I don't want to be manipulated. And if you don't want to be manipulated, then you must stop giving them reason to think you're Homer Simpson. You already have. This audience reads more than any other audience I've ever seen in my life. This may be the best self educated audience in the history of America. You have to continue. And don't read my opinions, don't read you know, don't go out and buy my book and say, well, that is the Bible. Nope. Nope. Hopefully that book will get you to jump off into other books. Read original sources, especially when it comes to early American progressives. Read their own words because no historian ever paints them I don't ever paint them as evil as they really are. Even me. And I despise them. Read their own words. You won't sleep for a month, especially when you understand it's all happening again. And where that has led the last two times we did it.

Lords of Finance: The Bankers Who Broke the World
In December 1930, the great economist Maynard Keynes published an article in which he described the world as living in “the shadows of one of the greatest economic catastrophes in modern history.” The world was then 18 months into what would become the Great Depression. The stock market was down about 60%, profits had fallen in half and unemployed had climbed from 4% to about 10%.
If you take our present situation, 16 months into the current recession, we're about at the same place. The stock market is down 50 to 60 percent, profits are down 50 percent, unemployment is up from 4.5% to over 8%.
Over the next 18 months between January 1930 and July 1932 the bottom fell out of the world economy. It did so because the authorities applied the wrong medicine to what was a very sick economy. They let the banking system go under, they tried to cut the budget deficit by curbing government expenditure and raising taxes, they refused to assist the European banking system, and they even raised interest rates. It was no wonder the global economy crumbled.
Luckily with the benefit of those lessons, we now know what not to do. This time the authorities are applying the right medicine: they have cut interest rates to zero and are keeping them there, they have saved the banking system from collapse and they have introduced the largest stimulus package in history.
And yet I cannot help worrying that the world economy may yet spiral downwards. There are two areas in particular that keep me up at night.
The first is the U.S. banking system. Back in the fall, the authorities managed to prevent a financial meltdown. People are not pulling money out of banks anymore—in fact, they are putting money in. The problem is that as a consequence of past bad loans, the banking system has lost a good part of its capital. There is no way that the economy can recover unless the banking system is recapitalized. While there are many technical issues about the best way to do this, most experts agree that it will not be done without a massive injection of public money, possibly as much as $1 trillion from you and me, the taxpayer.
At the moment tax payers are so furious at the irresponsibility of the bankers who got us into this mess that they are in no mood to support yet more money to bail out banks. It is going to take an extraordinary act of political leadership to persuade the American public that unfortunately more money is necessary to solve this crisis.
The second area that keeps me up at night is Europe. During the real estate bubble years, the 13 countries of Eastern Europe that were once part of the Soviet empire had their own bubble. They now owe a gigantic $1.3 trillion dollars, much of which they won’t be able to pay. The burden will have to fall on the tax payers of Western Europe, especially Germany and France.
In the U.S. we at least have the national cohesion and the political machinery to get New Yorkers and Midwesterners to pay for the mistakes of Californian and Floridian homeowners or to bail out a bank based in North Carolina. There is no such mechanism in Europe. It is going to require political leadership of the highest order from the leaders of Germany and France to persuade their thrifty and prudent taxpayers to bail out foolhardy Austrian banks or Hungarian homeowners.
The Great Depression was largely caused by a failure of intellectual will—the men in charge simply did not understand how the economy worked. The risk this time round is that a failure of political will leads us into an economic cataclysm.

On Friday, SEIU thug-in-chief Andy Stern published a screed titled, “Working Women and Men Will Not Be Silenced by Right Wing Attack Dogs; We Will Win the Change America Needs.” He carped about “an insidious and coordinated effort on the part of the extreme right to target individuals and grassroots community groups as a way to silence the voices of women and men who have suffered the most under 8 years of right wing policies. These extremists will attempt to shut down and shout down anyone with a different point of view.”
I’ve told you before about Stern’s operating philosophy: “[W]e prefer to use the power of persuasion, but if that doesn’t work we use the persuasion of power.” You can find my entire SEIU archives here.
