Beck Theorizes That The "Plan" Is For China To "Occupy The West"

July 21, 2011 6:11 pm ET — 30 Comments

Glenn Beck accused the Obama Administration of orchestrating a "plan" to allow China and Mexico to "occupy the West." This follows a long list of comments Beck has made raising the possibility that China might enslave Americans.

Beck Theory: The Obama Administration Will Allow China And Mexico To "Occupy" U.S. Territory

Beck: Obama Administration Will Allow China To "Occupy" U.S. Territory. During the July 21 edition of his radio show Beck said:

It is really interesting that our communist enemies here in the United States. Something that -- I didn't even think we had them. I thought communism was a joke two years ago. Isn't it strange that the main guy, one of the main guy economic strategists for Putin, still with Putin, said ten years ago that the United States would break up into five different countries, five different sections. When he was asked about this again recently, because some of the things he said have come true now, when he was asked again, he said, "I can't tell why we know these things but we just have assets on the ground."

If you are telling me that you don't think that China would like to occupy the West, maybe you should check some of the land ownership in Idaho. Maybe you should check it out in California. If you don't think Mexico wouldn't take up some of the southwest, you are out of your mind.

This is the plan. I really truly believe this is the plan. They've just surrounded themselves now with radical economists and people like Cass Sunstein that can now make those dreams come true. They didn't know how to rule. They had to figure that out. They've spent since 1968 figuring it out. We went to sleep. [Premiere Radio Networks, The Glenn Beck Program7/21/11]

Beck Has A Long History Of Stoking Fears That China Will "Rape Our Mountains For Coal" And Enslave Americans... 

Beck: Americans Will Be Put "In A Pretty Little Box With A Nice Pink Ribbon Around It" And Delivered "To China As A Little Worker Bee." In January 2011 Beck  told Congress to "shut the pie hole" and added:

Could we just take the time and talk about real issues so we don't tie America up in a pretty little box with a nice pink ribbon around it and deliver the population of the United States of America to China as a little worker bee? Oh, we'll have a lovely, lovely place to work soon. [Fox News, Glenn Beck1/18/11]

Beck Claims China Will "Come Over Here And Rape Our Mountains For Coal." In November 2010, Beck warned, "The United States of America is no longer the global superpower. China is." He added:

At some point you as a country need to take care of your own people. There's a little something called self-preservation that Americans seemingly have forgotten. And at some point China says, "We gotta take care of our own." If you don't think they'll come over here and rape our mountains for the coal, especially if we've dishonored their debt -- They warned us, "Don't dishonor our investment."  That's a quote: "Don't dishonor our investment." We're going to stand up and say "[[']]No, you're not taking that. No, you can't have that oil in the gulf as repayment?" You really think? With two billion people they could just drop people from the sky, and they -- They don't run out of people before we lose. I mean, people without parachutes. They just drop people, and we lose. [Premiere Radio Networks, The Glenn Beck Program11/23/11]

Beck: Tea Party Is Trying To "Make Sure That Our Children Aren't Sold As Slaves To China." In September 2010, Beck said that the Tea Party is not "radical" but that it is trying "to save the country, save the Constitution and make sure that our children aren't sold as slaves to China." [Premiere Radio Networks, The Glenn Beck Program9/20/10]

Beck: "Do You Think It'll Be Better When Russia Takes Alaska? When We Have To Sell It To China And The Gulf?" In November 2009, Beck said:

Now let me ask you, environmentalists, because we're gonna go broke -- California, you're gonna go broke. And you won't -- You won't bail yourself out now by getting the resources safely with American technology. The rest of the country, we won't do that either. We won't go and get the coal, and we won't burn it because of bogus climate warning -- climate -- global warming, climate details. We won't go get it. We won't go up into Alaska.

But do you think it'll be better when Russia takes Alaska? When we have to sell it to China and the Gulf? When we have to sell those reserves, and somebody else comes in, and we can't say anything about it? Do you think your environment is gonna be better or worse? If you think that America is just this hate-filled place, do you think when the rest of the world is in charge of you, of us, not that we have to be in charge of everybody else, just mind your own business. Do you think we're better off here or they're better off and more enlightened over there? [Premiere Radio Network, The Glenn Beck Program11/30/09]

Beck "Wargame[s]" A Scenario In Which China Takes Over The World. In October 2010, Beck played out a "wargame" that ended with the United States and the rest of the world becoming a "slave" to China. He then reminded his audience that China, as policy, "drowns people in rice patties as a one child policy." [Premiere Radio Networks, The Glenn Beck Program10/21/10

...And Claiming That China Is "The New Goal"

Beck: "China Is The New Goal...Why Do You Think There Are So Many Maoists Hanging Around The White House?" In March 2010, Beck said:

You ask anybody who really looks at global politics and they will tell you, China is the new goal.

Why do you think there are so many Maoists hanging around the White House? Ron Bloom, Anita Dunn, Van Jones. Because this is where we're headed unless we put the brakes on. It's not a place you want to live. [Fox News, Glenn Beck3/3/10]


Beck: "It's Almost Like We're Living In Mao's China Right Now." In October 2009, Beck criticized the Entertainment Industry Foundation for being involved in social causes, and said: "It is almost like we're living in Mao's China right now!" [Fox News, Glenn Beck10/19/09]

Beck: The United States Is "Moving Towards China, China Is The Model." In March 2010, Beck played audio of Andy Stern, former president of the Service Employees International Union, discussing globalization, and said:

We don't want global government but Andy Stern does. The rest of the world is moving in this fashion. I'm going to show you tonight, I'll show you a little chart, we're moving towards China, China is the model. [Premiere Radio Networks, The Glenn Beck Program, 3/3/10]

      Perhaps enslavement by the Chinese would be OK if it would shut Beck up. The Chinese would never stand for letting this kind of garbage on the air.

        The Chinese media should monitor Glenn more. Wendi Deng Murdoch owns a lot of the media over there since Rupert couldn't get it. That's why he married her. Glenn have eevn said a lot of racist things about China and Chinese before on his Fox show. Not a peep out of Wendi.

        I watch Chinese news almost daily,and while they're not allowed to speak critically of the Chinese Communist Party, they seem otherwise objective, at least compared to Fox. Their coverage of the hacking scandal is certainly much more thorough than Fox's.

        Hahahaha, Glenn, it is difficult to keep up with all your terrorist plots and just who the monster of the day is. But one thing, I just look at any utterance you make as comedy, it is very enjoyable to get to my big laugh so easily! Keep up the hysteria, Glenn. Life is so dull without your absurdities.

      Okay, I don't think Ive ever actually gotten a real answer to this, so I have to keep asking when I get the chance:

      Why do Republicans do things like attack science, defund science, laugh and mock the attempts to explain our world...then go out and cheer on the military action such a society brought out?

      How can they possibly, in any manner of thinking, conclude that science is wrong, science is evil, mocking science is good, and keeping things simple is good? If we refuse to advance in science, how can we possibly win in the wars of tomorrow, against an advancing country? The two make absolutely no sense, and its just logically impossible...There are no good words for how stupid a course of thought like that of the religious right is.

      When we studied moth eyes, we had no idea itd eventually lead us to higher efficiency solar panels. And you can be certain that the first person to theorize about atoms had no idea what we would do with them.


      So how is it that it is in any way possible for the religious right in this country to keep two fatally conflicting ideas as military domination and scientific derailment at the same time?

        If scientific research leads to some military device its considered good. Consider the money spent to develop a nuclear hand grenade.

        Conciously or not they strive for some something to threaten anybody in the world from some comand center far from danger. Work towards this is encouraged.

        Or something that'll make big immediate piles of money for them.

        Otherwise its just wasting money that should by rights be in their wallets, or off shore tax shelter..

        There may be some reasons to have concerns about China. There is NO RATIONAL reason whatsoever to be concerned about an INVASION by China.

      Yup, China's going to occupy us.

      They have a HUGE investment in our continued success. If they occupy us, they're NEVER getting paid back, and no one here will buy their crap.

      To Beck, this is all about how we're "broke", not anything military. He's saying that we're gonna sell everything to China, not get conquered by them.

      This might be the breakthrough we need to institute massive tax increases on the rich. If we won't do it because it's proven textbook economics, let's do it to prevent communist occupation. I can't think of a more noble fight for our greatest achievers.

      If Beck knew anything of Chinese history he would not have said this … oh what am I saying. Even if he knows China has no history of expansionism he would have said it anyway. The man is a born BSer.

        Though I larf at the idea of a Chinese invasion. Folks in Tibet, Tiwain, and Mongolia, might say a few words about Chinese expansionist tendancies.

        At one point they were ready to be a major naval power in the age of sail. Then threw their navy away unused.

        You are a LIAR. You have never thought once in your entire life and I doubt the day will ever come when you manage to accomplish the feat. Sure since Beck is no longer on Fox I understand how you thought MAYBE his lies, stupidity, dishonesty and insanity would be ignored. MMFA decided otherwise so you come in here to whine piteously.
