Glenn Beck: FEMA Concentration Camps Do Not Exist (VIDEO)

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

Beck, known for his apocalyptic views, had come under fire for mentioning FEMA camps, though he claims to have always doubted their existence and promised to either show viewers the camps or prove that they didn't exist.

Monday, he appears to have done the latter.

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.

"There is enough out there," Beck said. "We don't need to make stuff up."

you know, its easy to go along with the new world order, just bend over and kiss the bankers ass, and
be one of their Sheppel pawns...
its a lot harder to open people's eyes to the truth of the reality of america
as it is now..
I never would of dreamed in my life time, that a president would try to pass legislature
for our young people to become military servants... or civilian corps.. ages 18 -23 i think is the age..
every one tried to debunk that, but they couldn't.. because obama, just laid it out there..
he is also trying to pass legislature for the banning of ALL the guns, and the registration of any one
military or retired military.. also to ban any kind of gun they want.. to turn our own children into spys
to tattle on their parents, if you own a gun... i mean you have to be fore the new world order or your against it and if your against it.. your a terrorist...
look.. i know their are holding facilities... is every place one? I don't think so...
but then again, i never thought to hear that our xpres bush, would have a contract signed for spain to come into OUR country and build the NAFTA road...

Why would you even be skeptical about "FEMA concentration camps"? That's pretty much the most ridiculous mainstream-ish talking point I've ever heard in my entire life.

[bikerdude]

I just wish that Glenny didn't exist. He certainly subtracts from the sum total of human knowledge when he speaks....

[sheeshbrother]

I love Glenn's radio show.
What a hoot!
It's like listening to Howard Beale meltdown everyday.
Half the time I can't even understand what the heck he is saying it's so nuts.

[brocko]

Alex Jones did a write up dissing Beck on his half-assed attempt to tell the world about the FEMA camps. And yes, they do exist. There is one 20 miles from my home in Hutto, Texas.

[lcdbsez]

brocko --

If I were you, I'd be a lot more worried about the private-prison system in Texas, than imaginary FEMA camps.

BTW, I was born in Houston, but, luckily I escaped from Texas the first chance I got -- you should try living somewhere else -- it's surreal -- like a totally different planet! And every time I have to go back there, it seems to get worse (the water, maybe???).

[elizlucinda]

Are the FEMA camps called "Trollville"?

[greysilk]

It's all getting a little too weird for me.

[destruct1]

Thanks Glenn....keep it up buddy....you have the left in a complete tizzy....they don't know what to do. I love coming in here every day and seeing something new they find appalling about what you did or said. Please keep it up.

[solvseus]

Yes, please keep it up. Speak to the crazies on the far right, keep telling them what the want to hear, feeding into their paranoia. I'm sure it will make you very popular among them, in a way even Rush hasn't. Meanwhile, the rest of us in reality town will keep pointing it out and using you as the proof of the increasing craziness of the far right base. The rest of us can see you and them for what they really are, and the vast majority will keep doing what it's doing and avoid you like the plague. Maybe even run screaming from you as some seem to have done (see the recent exchange with Rush where a REPUBLICAN got so frustrated HE called Rush a Nazi). Yes Captain Crazy pants, keep it up with the rants, the ineffective Dems can use all the help they can, and you're just doing all their work for them. Thanks!

[Libfemdem]

"Captain Crazy pants!" LOL!
I like that!

[gschear]

in a Tizzy you say?
This guy is peddling the equivalent of Bigfoot and flying saucers! If you are content to let him represent you then woopie! It'a just another gift, like Sarah Palin being the GOP nominee in 12'
Thanks for your help.

[tomasedison]

suddenly Beck is just trying to prove he's a regular guy... best beware of what happens next

FEMA CAMPS - GREAT

Can't think of anywhere better to send and Beck and Limbaugh. I believe they even have very big ovens. For 'heating.' So they'll be very comfortable.

[flossophy]

Glenn Beck is goofy... but is he lying thru his teeth?

please respond.

[bikerdude]

Both goofy and lying through his teeth.

[PSM42]

FEMA CAMPS - GREAT

With Ch. en. ey at the wheel FEMA camps were very scary, because the Ne0Cons are s0. c10. pa. thic enough to use them.

With Obama in control, FEMA camps are terrific -- we need somewhere to put those right wing nu. tca. ses who don't want to be 're-educated' to non-. s0c. 10pathic behaviour. (To become ex-Ne0c0ns, if you will).

Ch. en. ey's rumour mills say that they even have ovens (for 'heating'). Aka de-lousing showers?

I think Beck and Limbaugh are scratching themselves something fierce ...

We can hardly wait.

[Airborne30]

Is there something wrong with your keyboard? Just asking :)

[PSM42]

There certainly is. Now type Neo as Ne0 by touch, without thinking about it :-).

[serecovery]

I wonder what he would've thought of Galileo if he was part of the Vatican

[flossophy]

the irony is that democrats are against economic science... because it exposes that their policies do more harm than good for society...

[tomvox1]

Har, har, har...substitute "Republicans" for "Democrats" in that sentence and you would be correct. Can you feel the wrong side of history trickling down on you?

[Hirnlego]

Why is it that the only group of people that the republican successfully aid are those who do not need futher help..the already wealthy?

[Levittown]

When I heard Beck call Senator Harry Reid a communist on his radio show I knew then that he played fast and loose with the air waves. After that bit there were others he labeled as commies and future terrorist hiding behind the American flag. Shades of Joe McCarthy. I am surprised that this bozo has the following that can earn him millions of dollars. Is the listening publics escape from reality. Lincoln was
right. You can fool some of the people all of the time. The same ones that believed Bush and Cheney.

[Tom Joad]

When did 'Popular Mechanics' become and investigative journal?

[bikerdude]

When the mighty Glenster says it is!
