Ailes and Huffington: Two Mockingbird Assets Discuss Glenn Beck

On ABC over the weekend, Roger Ailes and Arianna Huffington discussed Glenn Beck. Ailes is the president of Fox News. He was a media consultant for Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, and George H. W. Bush, as well as Rudy Giuliani’s first mayoral campaign in 1989. Huffington co-founded the “progressive” website The Huffington Post and figured highly on Forbes’ list of the Most Influential Women In Media. Ailes and Huffington work tirelessly to keep the false right-left paradigm in working order.
Huffington says Glenn Beck exploits the “paranoid style” of American politics and keeps this “tradition” alive. In other words, Beck exploits mistrust and fear of government. For “progressive” statists of Huffington’s ilk, mistrust of government is “paranoid” and thus dangerous (paranoia is usually associated with irrationality and delusion and characterized as a mental illness). She is apparently concerned about the influence of Beck’s mini-documentary on Stalin, Mao, and the progressives (Beck insinuates that when progressives get in power they unleash mass slaughter like Mao and Stalin — in fact, as history teaches, authoritarian leaders, regardless of political coloration, invariably engage in mass murder against the opposition and other manufactured enemies).
Glenn Beck pretends to be a Libertarian opposed to big government. In fact, he is a shill for predatory government and a continued looting of the people. In December, he went on the “conservative” (neocon statist) Bill O’Reilly’s Fox show and called for new taxes on the plebs. Beck and O’Reilly merely dickered over the sort of tax they’d impose — O’Reilly argued for a national sales tax while Beck called for a value added tax to pay down the national debt owed to a gaggle of international bankers.
In regard to government running roughshod over the people and confiscating their wealth, there is very little difference between Beck and Huffington. They merely disagree on how much to steal and what to squander it on. Huffington would spend it on touchy-feely social programs that increase the size and scope of government. Glenn Beck would give it directly to the bankers. George W. Bush ran up the national debt to a historical level. Obama outdid him within the first few months of his administration.
Obama, Bush, Huffington, Ailes, and Beck — these are shills for the state. If there is a “paranoid style” in politics, as Huffington claims, it should consist of a paranoia of talking heads who offer two versions of predatory government and call it politics from the “left” and the “right.” It is a circus sideshow and a diversion that accomplishes nothing as government power increases and claims more victims.
