Egyptian Revolution First Step Towards The New World Order

. . . according to Glenn Beck.

Most of the time, when I see a clip of Glenn Beck spewing some half-baked notion from his facial anus, my first thought is, “What an idiot.”

I'm usually right.

That's exactly what I was thinking when I saw a clip of the aforementioned idiot talking about the events in Egypt: people protesting in the streets and Hosni Mubarik being forced from power.

I didn't see the entire rant: I have a weak stomach, but he concluded the piece by saying the Egyptian revolution was, “the coming of the New World Order.”

Now, I don't know what the New World Order is supposed to be, or what the signs of it's coming are, but my impression from what I'd heard and what I read on Wikipedia, is that it is a conspiracy involving well connected billionaires.

I thought, as I have many times, “Glenn Beck is an idiot.”

Then I realized, if you take the phrase literally, Beck might be correct.

The Egyptian revolution was facilitated by people connected through technology. By cell-phones, Facebook and Twitter. All of which is new technology. And is world wide. And, in an some sort of orderly fashion, is beginning to chip away at the castle walls.

So, Glenn Beck, maybe on that night, you were prescient: receiving signals from the future. Maybe, God forbid, you were right! A New World Order is coming . . . and you said it first.
