Glenn Beck is Fox News’ resident literary critic. Recently, he has reviewed a mysterious French publication called The Coming Insurrection<\/a><\/em> by some mob calling itself the ‘Invisible Committee’. As Beck, a keen historian of radical politics, notes in his review, this term naturally brings to mind both Bakunin’s writings on “invisible dictatorship”<\/a> and The Committee of Public Safety (Comit\u00e9 de salut public<\/em>) of post-Revolutionary France. In the contemporary era, however, as Marxist philosophers Mick Armstrong and Slavoj \u017di\u017eek document in another forthcoming title The Secret Masters: How 40 Kiwi Anarchists Are Plotting to Destroy Western Civilization<\/em> (Verso, 2009), the so-called ‘Invisible Committee’ is not a small coterie of French Bakuninists but, rather, is composed of Swedish, German and English football hooligans under the command of New Zealand terrorists, who issue orders from their London bunker.<\/p>\n

Fact<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Fearful of a rash of deaths from spontaneous human combustion<\/a> caused by falling profits and mass unemployment, Beck’s review is very timely. Wearing his very special detective hat<\/a>, Beck has even been able to trace the uprisings in Greece and Iceland in late 2008 to the forthcoming publication in English of the dangerous tract in question.<\/p>\n

A speculative fiction? Perhaps. But as Beck notes in his conclusion: “I am not calling to ban this book, but you should read it to know what is coming and be ready when it does.”<\/p>\n

Extreme Left Calling People to Arms<\/a>
\nGlenn Beck
\nJuly 1, 2009<\/p>\n

While the government warns that right-wing extremists could be domestic terrorists, and The New York Times<\/em>, says I could incite those crazy conservatives to violence, the extreme left is actively calling for violence!<\/p>\n

As world economies go down the tank and unemployment continues to rise, disenfranchised people are set to explode.<\/p>\n

The dangerous leftist book that could spark this is \u201cThe Coming Insurrection.\u201d This is a call to arms for violent revolution, authored anonymously by a French group called the Invisible Committee who want to bring down capitalism.<\/p>\n

This started in France and spread to countries like Greece and Iceland, where people are out of work, out of money and out of patience.<\/p>\n

Now it\u2019s coming here. The book comes out in English in the U.S. in August. I have one of the first English copies.<\/p>\n

The book was written after riots in the Paris suburbs in 2005 tore the country apart, and that was before the economy really got bad. This is the anti-\u201dCommon Sense,\u201d where I call for peaceful protest.<\/p>\n

This is a book of revolution. Remember this is not from the right, you know the radicals that everyone is so worried about in government. This is from the far left. Let me share a bit:<\/p>\n

\u201cTake up arms. Do everything possible to make their use unnecessary. There is no such thing as a peaceful insurrection. Weapons are necessary.\u201d<\/p>\n

The French government was so freaked out they arrested nine people<\/a> believed to have written \u201cThe Coming Insurrection\u201d on charges of \u201ccriminal association for the purposes of terrorist activity\u201d for allegedly sabotaging train lines in France.<\/p>\n

When I first heard of this book it was in The New York Times<\/em> book section. A group had organized an unauthorized reading of \u201cThe Coming Insurrection\u201d at a New York City bookstore. When they were shooed out of the store they went to Starbucks and so on. Not exactly terrorist activity; more of a curiosity.<\/p>\n

But it gets a little more creepy when you look at this: One of those leaders arrested in France Julien Coupat was held for six months and just released this May. According to a story in The Globe and Mail<\/em> back in January of 2008 while visiting Canada, Coupat and his girlfriend sneaked over the border to visit New York City. According to relatives, they didn\u2019t want their photos and fingerprints in the hands of U.S. authorities. Why is that? (By the way are our borders protected yet?)<\/p>\n

Remember the media will tell you the right is the one to be feared. They do everything they can to tie any random nutjob shooting to conservatives. \u201cThe shooter was a fan of \u201824\u2032 \u2014 \u201824\u2032 starred Jon Voight \u2014 Jon Voight is a conservative!\u201d<\/p>\n

But this is a call for violence. Here is more:<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a question of knowing how to fight, to pick locks, to set broken bones and treat sicknesses; how to build a pirate radio transmitter; how to set up street kitchens; how to aim straight.\u201d<\/p>\n

The synopsis of the book describes it as \u201can eloquent call to arms arising from the recent waves of social contestation in France and Europe\u2026 a strategic prescription for an emergent war-machine to spread anarchy and live communism.\u201d<\/p>\n

A few years ago I said that Europe is on the brink of destruction. This is yet another sign that it\u2019s coming. Even in Japan where protests have been seen as taboo since the 1960s, young people angered over the economy and fear for their future \u2014 taking to the streets, beginning to unionize. The communist party of Japan says they are getting 1,000 new members a month.<\/p>\n

This book has not even been released in this country yet. It has been passed hand to hand and via the Internet, much like the pamphleteers in pre-revolution America. Thomas Paine was one of them. He issued a call to arms. I am not doing that. You are an idiot if you start shooting people \u2014 all that does is delegitimize the cause. Be like Ghandi [sic], like Martin Luther King.<\/p>\n

But people on the extreme left are calling people to arms. I am not calling to ban this book, but you should read it to know what is coming and be ready when it does.<\/p>\n
