The “Final Chapter” of Glenn Beck's Fox News run kicked off Friday with Beck warning that a plot to “collapse the system,” “redistribute the wealth,” and create an Obama-centered empire was based on a willingness to kill “25 million Americans.”

Fox News announced weeks ago that Beck “intends to transition off his daily program” on Fox News. Earlier this week, News Corp. announced that the “Final Chapter” of Beck's Fox News show would begin Friday.

That chapter of the Glenn Beck saga began with Beck claiming that he is leaving Fox to transition from “preaching to the choir” into getting “involved” in stopping the “nefarious plans” of progressives.

Setting the stage, the final chapter chalkboard revealed that all the same demons continue to haunt Beck: magnets representing the “radicals” whom “Obama has surrounded himself with” -- Richard Trumka, Andy Stern, Van Jones, George Soros, Samantha Power, Cass Sunstein, Stephen Lerner, and The Tides Foundation -- populated every corner of the chalkboard.

Beck warned his audience of the dangers posed by the “true revolutionaries” on his chalkboard, who support communism and the “redistribution of wealth,” and by “people like George Soros” who want to “collapse the system.” Beck then asked, “If communists went and tried to collapse the system and took over the system, OK, what would happen.” He pressed:

Who would not fight for the rest of your life if someone overthrew the Constitution of the United States? Raise your hand.

Would you fight -- would you fight for the rest of your life and give yourself if someone overthrew the government of the United States?

So, we know that. There are millions of people that would do that. Well, George Soros is smart enough to know that, isn't he?

This is not atypical -- in fact it is a hallmark of Beck's show to suggest violence is originating from "the left" and to then beg his audience to resist.

After all, when Beck tearfully announced his 9-12 Project, he told his Fox News audience, “They don't surround us; we surround them.” Months later, he amped up the paranoia, proclaiming, “Shoot me in the head if you try to change our government -- I will stand against you, and so will millions of others.”

Friday night, Beck returned to his chalkboard to again explain how “they” were organized into groups of thinkers, thugs, doers, organizers, and Marxists trying to “collapse the system.” Beck went on to explain how their plan to create an empire under Obama was rooted in a willingness to kill 25 million Americans:

So, the real question here is, is what is the illusion of the republic that George Soros has planned? Because if we all know, if we all know this guy is in bed with all of these guys and we know that, you won't sit down. Unless, remember [William Ayers] said, we have an FBI agent who infiltrated his Weather Underground who said they will kill 25 million Americans. Twenty- five million Americans just won't do it -- just won't sit down for it. So, they will kill 25 million.

OK. So, we know he is willing to. But wouldn't it be easier if this guy could convince the youth. This guy could convince faith groups. These guys could just keep everybody in line. These guys could figure out a way to make it look good.

There has to be the illusion -- there has to be illusion of the republic remaining. That's what you look for. That's I think what's coming in the next year -- is the illusion that these guys are somehow or another ratted out, to satisfy, after you cry out, “Top-down, protect us.”

At one point Friday night, Beck said that it was "getting boring" to demonize the “same people,” raising the question as to just how much longer this transition will be supported by Fox News.
