If the above picture frightens you…good!
We are at a crucial time in not only our
nation’s history, but also in the
history of the entire Western world.
There are powerful forces at work that,
when looked at individually, are still
quite serious but each seems somewhat
manageable. However, when we examine
these events and the possibility that
they could happen collectively,
well--then my friend, we’re facing
something I like to call The Perfect
Storm. Remember that George Clooney
movie where the fishing boat gets caught
in not just one storm, but many
storms…coming at it from all angles
simultaneously? Could it have braved one
storm…maybe even two? Heck yeah,
especially with Captain Clooney behind
the wheel. But unfortunately, it wasn’t
just one or two storms. The end result
was that the collective power of a
number of combined storms sank the
fishing boat and killed her entire crew.
And keep in mind—this wasn’t just a
Hollywood movie, it actually happened.
While they are rare, Perfect Storms do
exist.
So with that thinking in mind, let me
say that I firmly believe in what I’m
about to lay before you, that if a
number of the |

following events take place concurrently
or in close succession, it will mean
nothing less than the end of the West as
we know it. Not just increased gas
prices, not just our troops being
overseas for the holidays, but a
wholesale change in our country and the
way we live our daily lives.
I’m not trying to scare you, but simply
lay out some information so you can draw
your own conclusions. I know these
issues can seem daunting, and people
often ask me, “What can I do?”
The answer is easier than you might
think: educate yourself--pass on what
you learn to someone else, encourage
them to pass it along, and so on.
Getting informed, staying
informed, and using that knowledge to
help us act accordingly is our only
chance. We need to realize that these
problems aren’t about politics or party
lines—at the end of the day, we’re not
Democrats or Republicans, but Americans,
and this problem applies equally to us
all.
What follows hasn’t been run through any
“spin” cycle so I can prove my point. I’ve simply done my homework and offer the
cold hard facts. Do with them what |

you will, but think of these in the
context of another Hollywood blockbuster—“A Beautiful Mind.” Remember that
scene where Russell Crowe has pasted up a number of newspaper stories and is
making associations and drawing connections between them by running strings from
one story to the next, and then that story to another, and so on? You could
easily do the same with the stories here. It’s not a great leap to see a certain
synchronicity between them. But it’s best if you decide for yourself. I’ll do my
part by keeping this page updated and making sure you have access to the most
current information. Then it’s up to you to inform yourself and share that
information with those you care about.
If you think I missed something or have
my facts wrong, please do us all a favor and send an e-mail to
perfectstorm@glennbeck.com. I want
to keep this page a non-partisan resource for “just the facts,” and accuracy is
vital. We’re living in a world where the scary stuff isn’t going to just go
away, and unless you arm yourself with information, things are going to seem a
whole lot scarier.
