Glenn Beck FINALLY admits "FEMA Concentration Camps Do Not Exist"

On his Fox show, Glenn Beck enlisted the help of Popular Mechanics to debunk an internet rumor (which Beck helped spread) that the Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA) operates concentration camps in the United States.

Beck hosted Popular Mechanics editor-in-chief James Meigs, who reported that, based on his magazine's independent investigation, videos on the internet said to have been of FEMA concentration camps actually included footage of an Amtrak repair facility in Beach Grove, Indiana. The video reportedly comes from a woman tied to Timothy McVeigh's militia group.

Beck's self-righteous outrage is rather odd because, earlier this year, Glenn Beck had tried revive this urban legend, which orginally came from an old X-Files episode.

I saw the show. Good job explaining the way the video had been constructed to support the lie.

so if this isnt true then why is everything they are talking about in the executive orders or did they forget that these things exist and that people can read them it talks about taking away rights and our freedom to ensure our safety but all they are going to do is make us prisoners i have no doubt that this will happen i mean look at our world today can we really put this past our government look what they have done so far our country is going to crap

Umm, the reason people are talking about it is because they're ignorantly buying rumors as fact without actually doing the research. It's called intellectual laziness. Hope that answers your question?

Hmmmmm this is very interesting. Even IF the camps do exists (which Glenn claimed at first) why would he (on his own fruition) back out of that stance unless he was told to. I mean, if your telling the truth, and you know it's the truth, why, would you not want to share the truth with everyone?

Very starnge this is indeed.

Thanks for posting this anyway.
