March 22, 2011 Beck: Case of Domestic Economic Terrorism? | Glenn Beck With: Glenn Beck This is a rush transcript from "Glenn Beck," March 22, 2011. This copy may not be in its final form and may be updated. GLENN BECK, HOST: Hello, America. I want to talk to you tonight -- I had a choice to make yesterday of coming to you and trying to find a policeman to help with what came to us over the weekend. And I realized we're darn near out of policemen. I don't necessarily trust Eric Holder. I don't trust the administration. I don't trust Congress. I don't know who to bring this to, except you. That's why I'm bringing this to you tonight. I'm going to play some audio for you in a moment that we broke this morning on my radio program and my Web site. It is a recording of a speech given over the weekend at Pace University. It was given by a prominent labor leader. And it was given to a very select group of other prominent labor, progressive and community leaders. I believe what you are about to hear is nothing short of a plan to commit economic terrorism. Now, I want to define that. "Economic terrorism," set forth by the blessed Geneva Center for Security Policy. It is this: varied, coordinated, and sophisticated or massive destabilizing actions -- massive destabilizing actions in order to disrupt the economic and financial stability of a state, a group of states or a society, such as market- oriented Western societies, for ideological or religious motives. Got it? That's how the globe defines economic terrorism. Now, has there been any case of domestic economic terrorism? Yes. Believe it or not. Surprisingly, the closest case we have to it happened just recently. In fact, the jury decided last Friday. They judged against Bernard von NotHaus. He is 67 years old. He was convicted by federal jury of, quote, "conspiracy under the United States," and faces a prison sentence of 15 years. Now, what did he do? Well, he made coins. He made these. They are Liberty Dollars. They look like U.S. dollars, don't they? Well, I actually interviewed this guy when I was on the other network. And I remember talking to him. I have thought, OK, I kind of agree with out on the Fed thing, but what you're doing here kind of sounds illegal. He swore he was doing nothing wrong. Well, in the end, it looks like I was right. He was just convicted Friday of making coins that resemble our United States coins, possessing them and trying to use them as currency. He had over $70 million in Liberty Dollars in circulation. Well, this guy was misguided, but he wasn't trying to bring down the United States. At least from what he told me. He believed the Fed was destroying the dollar and -- really? That's a hard stretch, isn't it? You, by the way, have to watch this show on Friday because there is some truth to that. The unbelievable history of the Fed. The -- what is it? The monster is what it's called? The monster? The creature of Jekyll Island. We will give you the truth and none of the crazy conspiracy theories on the Fed Friday at 5:00. Anyway, this guy -- this guy was creating what the government said was currency. And he said it was going to help. No. Good idea? No. But his goal was not the destruction of the U.S. dollar. Now, listen to the U.S. attorney prosecuting the case -- this is, remember, from Eric Holder's DOJ -- quote, "Attempts to undermine the legitimate currency of this country are simply a unique form of domestic terrorism." But she went a step further. She also said, "While these forms of anti-government activities do not involve violence, they are every bit as insidious and represent a clear and present danger to the economic stability of this country." You have it? Let's be clear. This is Eric Holder's DOJ. The attorneys representing the United States against the coin guy in North Carolina -- last Friday, they convicted him. They believe attacks affecting the economic stability of America are akin to domestic terrorism and a clear and present danger to the economic stability of this country. You have it? Every bit as insidious as violent attacks on the country. So, we know, there is zero tolerance with the DOJ. And the coin guy is facing 15 years in prison. Remember what we are talking about -- a guy who most people have never heard of. He has never graced the White House. And, come on, really? You think he actually has a chance to collapse the monetary system? Really? OK. Zero tolerance. Again, unique form of domestic terrorism, every bit as insidious and clear and present danger to economic stability of this country. So, that's how we define, under Eric Holder's DOJ, domestic economic terrorism in this country. Now, the audiotape that I'm about to play is from the Left's Forum, the Left Forum, right here. It is a conference that happened at Pace University here in New York City. Well, everybody was there, including the Fox cameras. But, apparently, other people also were recording where Fox couldn't record. Frances Fox Piven, the architect of the "overwhelm the system" theory, she was there. I mean, where else would she be? This is the largest annual conference of left wing activists, progressives and organizers in the country. Now, I know the left tells me that here, Frances Fox Piven is just an innocent, kind grandmother. But she seems to take frequent breaks from all of the quilting and cookie baking to write in places like "The Nation" or speak here about the wonderful, violent uprisings in Europe, and go to places to speak like Pace University to the leaders of the labor movement. Now, maybe she was just trying to teach them how to bake cookies, although we didn't see any of that. I'm not sure. But Frances Fox Piven's philosophy was everywhere. In fact, here is one of the panelists speaking about her philosophy. Listen carefully. (BEGIN AUDIO CLIP) UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: We were talking about why unions are so invested because of their pension plans and why un-governability as Frances Fox Piven and Cloward taught us, you know, poor people movement are successful when they create conditions of un-governability and you win victories. (END AUDIO CLIP) BECK: OK. So, create conditions of un-governability. What does that mean? Well, you want to destabilize. You want to get rid of the stabilization, because if everything is stable, you can govern. It's almost like, hey, wait a minute, they'll work together to overturn stability because they're against capitalism and Israel. And it will spread and they will begin to destabilize Europe and the rest of the world. Hmm! So, destabilization, or make it ungovernable. It's kind of like what happened in Greece, Egypt, Madison. Now, let me play the audio for you. Again, I believe nothing short of people planning an economic terrorist attack on our country. This may. And we just heard from the U.S. attorney what he believes it is. The coin guy, at the very least, quote, "conspiracy against America," end-quote -- a form of clear and present danger to the economic stability of this country. You listen to this tape and tell me if that doesn't fit this. His name, the guy you're about to hear is Stephen Lerner. He is a former top official at SEIU who left apparently when Andy Stern left. Now, we can't -- I have to say apparently, because we can't verify this. We made no less than six calls to the SEIU. We talked to the media relations department, sent multiple e-mails, they will not verify if Stephen Lerner currently works at SEIU. Now, I worked at a lot of companies. Have you guys worked at companies before? I mean, you just look in the company handbook and go, nope, he's no longer with us! It's about the simplest question we have tonight. The questions at SEIU only get harder from here. He was introduced as SEIU when he spoke this weekend at the Left Forum. He was the director of SEIU's banking and finance campaign -- important to remember. He is -- he was the person on the Wall Street reform for SEIU. So, he would go to the Treasury Department and meet on Wall Street reform. He is also the guy responsible for the video that we showed you here, the protest on the lawns. Do you remember when they started going to people's houses? Remember that? When SEIU rent-a-thug stormed a bank executive's private property and trapped a young child home was alone. He spearheaded the Justice for Janitors campaign that have led protests all across the country. In one city, protesters entered the busiest intersections in Houston and handcuffed themselves in a circle to trash cans and dumping trash in intersections in order to disrupt traffic. Here is what he told other labor leaders this weekend. Listen to his plan. Listen carefully. Here is the plan to destroy America. (BEGIN AUDIO CLIP) STEPHEN LERNER, SEIU, JUSTICE FOR JANITORS: Unions are almost dead. We cannot survive doing what we do. But the simple fact of the matter is community organizations are almost dead also, and I think if you think about what we need to do, it may give us some direction which is essentially what the folks that are in charge -- you know, the big banks and everything -- what they want is stability. There are actually extraordinary things that we could do right now that would start to destabilize the folks that are in power and start to rebuild a movement. (END AUDIO CLIP) BECK: OK. Remember, we just learned the United States government has zero tolerance policy for those who pose an economic threat to the economic stability of the nation. We just busted a guy printing up his own coins. Yet, here he is stating at an open conference that unions are almost dead, as are community organizations, and they therefore must destabilize those in power, the banks. He's now going to outline a plan on how to collapse our government and our nation's financial system. (BEGIN AUDIO CLIP) LERNER: For example, 10 percent of homeowners going back to where you started a quarter of the people who own a home are underwater, right? Their home, they are paying more than its worth. Ten percent of those people now are strategic default, meaning, they are refusing to pay but they are staying in their home. That's totally spontaneous, right? They figured out it takes a year to kick me out of my home because foreclosure is backed up, I'm going to stay I won't pay. It's a good business decision. If you could double that number, you would make banks -- put banks at the edge of insolvency again. What would happen if we could organize homeowners in mass t do a mortgage strike? Just say, if we get half a million people to agree, we'll agree we won't pay our mortgages. It would literally cause a new financial crisis for the banks, not for us. We would be doing quite well because we wouldn't be paying. (END AUDIO CLIP) BECK: OK. Using mass mortgage strikes and he also goes in to student loans. He hopes to create a new financial crisis. Think of this: the whole reason that we did TARP -- and is there anybody here that thinks that was a great idea to do TARP? The whole reason we did TARP and the stimulus package and the health care bill was to bring us back from the brink. And here he is, a man who has been to the White House, who is now detailing -- we haven't gotten to it yet -- a plan to push our financial institutions back to the brink. So, every dollar that we have given, every dollar that has been given to the government, every dollar that has been given to banks and institutions through TARP will be wasted. Now, this is not just a pie in the sky thinking -- hey, maybe somebody would try that, sometime? No, no. Listen carefully because he talks about -- he's not going to give a lot of details because he's afraid there might be police in the audience. There wasn't. We might have been there. It's in the planning phase and I believe it's deeper than that. I want you to listen to -- I think it's, it's uncut, it's 25 minutes. You have to hear the entire tape at GlennBeck.com. Your hair will fall out. Listen to his strategy now. (BEGIN AUDIO CLIP) LERNER: The folks that control this country care about one thing -- how the stock market does, how the bond market does and what their bonuses is. So, I think we need to have a very simple strategy -- how do we bring down the stock market, how do we bring down the bonuses, how do we interfere with their ability to be rich. And if we don't -- and that means we have to politically isolate them, economically isolate and disrupt them. (END AUDIO CLIP) BECK: OK. Here he is beginning to conspire to bring down the stock market. But he needs a villain for the story. Well, they just picked one. Play the tape. (BEGIN AUDIO CLIP) LERNER: A bunch of us around the country think about who would be a really good company to hate? We decided that would be JPMorgan Chase based here in New York. So, what we're looking at is in the first week of May, can we get enough people together -- we're starting now -- to really have a week of action in New York with the goal of -- I don't want to give any details because I don't know which police agents are in the room, but the goal would be that we would roll out of New York the first in May. (END AUDIO CLIP) BECK: OK. When you listen to the whole thing -- I'm telling you, it's much worse than this. So, here are the facts: we have an influential labor leader with ties -- he may still be working at SEIU. We cannot get SEIU to verify. We think he's no longer with them -- ties to SEIU. He has had at least four White House visits, Stephen Lerner has. We assume it's the same guy. We cannot get anyone at the White House to verify either today. Visits to the U.S. Treasury. We have one in December of 2010. He met with Elizabeth Warren. Remember, she takes care of all the little banks. Visits to the U.S. treasury. This has been verified. They're targeting JPMorgan Chase. They want to disrupt New York City. And you'll see on the tape, the whole tape, that he talks about 10 other states as well. He wants to create a mortgage strike. Plus, he talks on the longer tape of also getting students to not pay their student bills back to trigger a financial crisis. He wants to crash the New York Stock Exchange and create instability. A unique form of domestic terrorism, a clear and present danger to economic stability of the country? You decide. You decide. Now, listen -- listen to the rest of his plan. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) THEN-PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE BARACK OBAMA: I spent my entire adult life working with SEIU. I'm not a newcomer to this. (END VIDEO CLIP) BECK: Sorry, that's not his plan. That's one of -- that's one of SEIU's supporters. In that particular audio, President Obama goes back and says he's been there his whole life and he starts naming all of the members of SEIU. Is it reasonable, America, to believe that Obama doesn't know Stephen Lerner. He is one of the most influential -- this guy has been praised by everyone and has been around since the mid-1990s. This guy hopes to cause another financial crisis in the country, cause instability, cause a stock market crash. Lerner was also clear that this could not have the hallmark of the unions. It could not be known as a union deal, because it would cause too many problems and people would know. It had to be grassroots. Listen. (BEGIN AUDIO CLIP) LERNER: If labor can't lead but we are a critical part of it. We do have money. We have millions of members who are furious. But I don't think this kind of movement can happen unless actually community groups and other activists take the lead. And that's a big reversal how a lot of these coalitions (ph) since been taught about it. So, unions helping community groups or communities groups (INAUDIBLE). If we really believe that we are in a transformative stage of what's happening and then we need to confront this in a serious way and develop a real ability to put a boot in the wheel, then I think we have to think not about labor and community alliances. We have to think about how together we are building something that really has the capacity to disrupt how the system operates. (END AUDIO CLIP) BECK: Anybody know what "sabotage" means? You do? What does it mean? Anybody know the root of the word, where it came from? Yes, Jim, in the back. AUDIENCE MEMBER: Wooden shoes being thrown into the automated equipment in Holland. BECK: Exactly right. Wooden shoes, did you hear what he said, put a boot or a shoe into the wheel. That is the literal definition of "sabotage." I told you on many episodes that this was happening. They would say, "There's no proof." I would quote them, I'd show them. I told you that you were going to be used as a pawn. And you had to be careful. Well, I have news for you. This is happening. We have evidence. We have dates. And you are being used as a pawn. When we come back, I want to talk to union members, and the rest of the country, because there is a solution. You need an action plan. That's why I called you the real police. Content and Programming Copyright 2011 Fox News Network, LLC. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. Copyright 2011 CQ-Roll Call, Inc.
