Glenn Beck’s World

Monika Bauerlein,

Dear Reader,

The next few months are make-or-break for Mother Jones’ fundraising, and we need more online readers to pitch in than have been of late. In "It's Not a Crisis. This Is the New Normal," we take a level-headed look at the brutal economics of journalism, why investigative reporting like you get from us matters, and why we're optimistic we can grow our base of support in a big way—starting with hitting a huge $300,000 goal in just three weeks. Please learn more and donate if you can right now.

Please learn more in "It's Not a Crisis. This Is the New Normal," where we go into the brutal economics of journalism, and what makes Mother Jones unique and worth supporting if you can right now.

Me, a few minutes after 3 pm today: “Beck is really bringing it today. Finally his theory of the world is complete.” And just what is that theory of the world? Behold:

Here’s Egypt, Libya, Tunisia. What’s next to Tunisia? Algeria, also on fire now, the riots are starting here. Morocco is on fire. What’s across from Morocco? Spain. Connected to France, and Germany, and Italy, also on fire. And Greece, also on fire. Which brings you right back here to Turkey. The entire Mediterranean is on fire.

Also Russia, Britain, and Ireland. And who’s responsible for all this? Muslims, radicals, progressives, Marxists, socialists, and communists. (Seriously.) “This is not just happenstance, this is not just poor people mad at rich people. This. Is. Coordinated.” And nobody but Glenn Beck is willing to tell you the truth about it. Plus there was talk of the coming Muslim caliphate, which brought back fond memories of Steven Den Beste-era warblogging. Great stuff, truly the Full Beale today.
