Fetch Your Copy The Overton Window (Overton Window, #1) Devised By Glenn Beck Accessible From Publication

you know me, you know Im a pretty big fan of Glenn Beck, Ive been listening to his radio show for about five years now and have followed his forays into television, live stage performances, and books, It may be no surprise, then, that I liked “The Overton Window,” Glenns latest book, a fiction thriller,

Now that Ive said that, let me qualify it,

“The Overton Window” is a simple story, really, It has its plots and twists like a good thriller should, but its overall story arc is pretty straightforward, The protagonist is an unlikely goodguy, just an average Joe named Noah Gardner, Hes a young, single public relations guy at a big firm in New York City,

The bad guy Barack Obama,

Im kidding, but that answer is not that far from the truth, The antagonists in this story is a group of rich, powerful socialists, one of which happens to be Noahs father, Having declared the old ways of the constitution and freedomloving America to be a failed experiment, theyre ready to transform the country into what it should be: controlled by a knowsbetter biggovernment.


Noah meets Molly Ross, a smart, beautiful seemingly easygoing girl who is has

an odd quirk: shes heavily involved in a movement to get America back to its founding roots.


Intent on getting to know Molly better, Noah attends a meeting at a club in New York, his first Tea Party as it were.
While the speakers tell story after story about how the government and those in power are intent on destroying the Constitution and eliminating peoples individual liberties, Noahs cycnicism and realism boils over.
When he utters something loud enough for those around him to overhear, he is asked to explain himself with a microphone so that everyone can hear.


“The United States was built to run on individual freedom, thats true, but because youve let these control freaks have their way with it for about a hundred years, your country now runs on debt.
Today Goldman Sachs is the engine, and in case you havent realized it yet, the American people are nothing but the fuel, ”

Noah goes on to explain all the conspiracy theories bantied about like the Bildeberg Group, the Trilateral Commission, etc, are all true and theyre wealthy beyond believe and theyre globalists,

Noah knows all this because these powerful organizations have long been using PR firms like his fathers to push their transformative ideas on the people of the world.


“Theres no respect for you in Washington, They laugh at you. You say you want a revolution That Constitution the lady was holding up a while ago It gives you the power to revolt at every single election.
Do you realize in a couple of weeks every last seat in the U, S. House of Representatives will be up for grabs And the presidency And onethird of the Senate seats

“The approval rating for Congress is somewhere around fifteen percent.
You could turn the tables and put them all out of a job on that one day, But do you know whats going to happen instead I do, The presidency is going to change hands, but the corruption will accelerate, Over ninety percent of those people in Congress people who are deeper into the pockets of the lobbyists every day they spend in Washington over ninety percent of them are going to get reelected.
”

The story puts Noah on a collision course with destiny, What he learns both from his new friends in the freedom movement and via his ties to the powerful forces through the PR business helps him shed his cynicism and start to believe in the cause.


Now, this book is a very easy read, Itspages but it goes by fast, My only real complaint about the writing is that much of dialogue between characters doesnt read like believable dialogue, It reads like its written, not spoken, You could easily say the same thing about any fiction written by Ayn Rand, but Becks dialogue is a lot easier to comprehend,

The Afterword, the last chapter in the book, contains a surprising amount of information about items in the story that are actually based in truth.

A plan to destroy America, a hundred years in the making, is about to be unleashedcan it be stopped

There is a powerful technique called the Overton Window that can shape our lives, our laws, and our future.
It works by manipulating public perception so that ideas previously thought of as radical begin to seem acceptable over time, Move the Window and you change the debate, Change the debate and you change the country

Now, in the face of a catastrophic terrorist attack, an apathetic young man is plunged into the maelstrom of political discourse and basic survival as he races to uncover the conspirators behind the destruction, and to save both the woman he loves and the individual freedoms he once took for granted.


For Noah Gardner, a twentysomething public relations executive, it's safe to say that political theory is the furthest thing from his mind, Smart, single, handsome, and insulated from the world's problems by the wealth and power of his father, Noah is far more concerned about the future of his social life than the future of his country.


But all of that changes when Noah meets Molly Ross, a woman who is consumed by the knowledge that the America we know is about to be lost forever.
She and her group of patriots have vowed to remember the past and fight for the futurebut Noah, convinced they're just misguided conspiracytheorists, isn't interested in lending his considerable skills to their cause.


And then the world changes,

An unprecedented attack on U, S. soil shakes the country to the core and puts into motion a frightening plan, decades in the making, to transform America and demonize all those who stand in the way.
Amidst the chaos, many don't know the difference between conspiracy theory and conspiracy factor, more important, which side to fight for,

But for Noah, the choice is clear: Exposing the plan, and revealing the conspirators behind it, is the only way to save both the woman he loves and the individual freedoms he once took for granted.


After five backtobackNew York Times bestsellers, national radio and Fox News television host Glenn Beck has delivered a rippedfromtheheadlines thriller that seamlessly weaves together American history, frightening facts about our present condition, and a heartstopping plot.
The Overton Window will educate, enlighten, and, most important, entertainwith twists and revelations no one will see coming, I'm not the biggest fan of political thrillers or even politics in general, but Glenn Beck spins a great yarn, and the ending makes me want to get my hands on the sequel as soon as possible.
Not a boring book, but if I was supposed to solve mysteries, I'd have called ScoobyDoo, for I did not understand a thing in here.
Изключително четиво. Задълбочен анализ и провокиращ бленд от факти и въображение.

Глен Бек взима концепта Прозорец на Овертон, обучава читателя да го забелязва и борави с Него, докато затваря същия читател в същия този Прозорец. Another Booksquirm Book Club pick, Thankfully, this book did not make it past month! Ourmonth assignment for this book had us suffer through the Prologue through Chapter, Here are the thoughts I posted for the book club,

Prologue Chapterobservations:
How exactly did Mr, Beck think that I would take him seriously when he writes on page"Top psychologists tell us in Maxim magazine, . . " Really You expect me to believe that people who are at the top of the psychological field would really honestly take the time write for Maxim I know that men only get that magazine to read the articles, but I wouldn't think the foremost experts in psychology would publish there! All in all, it's not the worst book I've read.
. . Then again, we were reading Rogue by Danielle Steel that month as well

Chaptersobservations:
First, I would like to thank my fellow booksquirm members for feeling the same way as I feel about this book.
It looks like it will thankfully be voted off the island, I felt like my soul was dirty after reading the assigned chapters this month, and I wanted to quickly sneak the book back into the return slot at the library before anyone noticed I had it checked out! lol.
The one thing that stuck in my mind from reading this was the list of "red flagged" individuals not comprehensive, as it was noted, After reading the listtimes to be certain I was left wondering if there was anyone left other than, of course, the author that didn't fit into at least ONE of the "to be watched" groups.
I think I fit in more than one category! I can honestly say that I don't even know what the book was supposed to be about.
. . I missed character/plot development entirely being too distracted with idiocracy of it all! I would like to thank wikipedia for giving me some insight into what Mr.
Beck was go adept at making me miss! sitelink wikipedia. org/wiki/Overton
