{UAH} Ocen, WBK//Ardent Obama admits he's really crazy

  Folks;

With a single-minded obsession, Glen Beck railed against President Obama from the get-go, even accusing the president of being anti-white people.

So consumed with hate, and menacingly disrespect, for the president was Glen Beck that at every opportune occasion, he would plaster charts on the TV screen to persuade viewers of the harm Obama was visiting upon the American people.

If you listened to him closely, it was obvious this man had lost his mind. And here, he confesses that indeed, for the duration of his high-octave theatrics against Obama, he was actually a mental case, albeit at the beginning stage.

Being a recovering alcoholic and drug user, Beck, a Mormon, came across as the most unfit TV personality to occupy his timeslot. Now we know why. Next to confess is Rush Limbaugh? Or Edward Mulindwa?

Glenn Beck Reveals the Life-Changing 'Pivot Point' He Has Kept Hidden From Almost Everyone for Five Years

      

Glenn Beck on Monday revealed the true extent of his health issues, saying he can no longer keep what has happened a secret from his friends, his staff or audience, whom he considers to be his family.

If you have sensed a change in Beck — maybe you even thought he was losing interest in his program — Beck said it is because he was told he may only have several functional years left, and his health conditions were causing such excruciating pain that it was difficult to do live programming.

"Tonight's show is not for the casual fan or, really, anyone in the press," Beck said. "This is a one-on-one between friends. No one in the media ever does a show like this, because it is crazy. … But I believe that by not talking with you openly, it destroys everything of real meaning and value — namely, our trust."

"I have never lied to you, but I have omitted a few really important facts because — they scared me," Beck admitted, beginning to swallow back tears. "I didn't have any answers, and the answers I was being given at the time meant … the end of our time together."

Beck said that five years ago, around the time of his Restoring Honor event in Washington, D.C., God began to tell him that he was standing in the wrong place. At around the same time, his health issues began, starting with vocal cord paralysis, eyesight problems and what doctors at first believed was a painful form of neuropathy.

"While I was at Fox, the pain would get so bad that my camera crew, our executive producer Tiffany and I, had worked out hand signals so they would know when to take the camera off of me," Beck revealed. "We didn't know at the time what was causing me to feel as though, out of nowhere, my hands and feet, or arms and legs would feel like someone had just crushed them, set them on fire or pushed broken glass into them."

Beck said that while he was in intense pain, something unusual was happening that he actually thought was an advantage in his business: he only ever needed two to four hours of sleep a night.

"Doctors tell me that up until recently, I hadn't had a real REM sleep in maybe as long as a decade," Beck said. "I didn't have a dream that I remember, except one in a decade. And quite honestly, this isn't a symptom you look to fix if you have a ton to do. But the first sign of trouble I noticed was what I call a 'time collapse.' If we had met before, I couldn't tell you if it was a month ago, a year ago or when we were in high school. I then began to lose names to faces and over time, entire conversations would go away."

Beck said doctors told him it was normal for someone processing as much information as he was, and the phenomenon has been discussed by figures like Winston Churchill.

"While essential facts remained, life became fuzzy," Beck continued. "This was happening at the same time the pain was becoming a very real issue. They told me there was no connection between the two. Then came macular dystrophy and vocal paralysis — all disconnected, or so they thought."

Beck said a string of doctors, medications and diets only left him with more questions, and none really improved his condition. His health issues were among the reasons he decided to move to Dallas — a warmer climate than New York City.

"Then … my body began going into a seizure-like state," Beck said, adding that the episodes most frequently occurred on planes or after a large performance or speech.

"Most afternoons my hands would start to shake, or my hands and feet began to curl and eventually — if I didn't stop and rest, I began to curl into a fetal position," Beck said. "This has baffled some of the best doctors in the world. It has frightened me and my family, and I didn't know what was happening."

Beck said that shortly before the convulsions began, he checked into a hospital in New York City for extensive testing, and asked some of the best doctors in the world to look at him.

In one of the most frightening moments of his life, he was tested for traumatic brain injury and found that he was functioning in the bottom tenth percentile.

"I was told at the time that I had anywhere between five and ten years before I would no longer be able to function," Beck said, pausing to collect himself. "I was told to go home, take at least a year off, and enjoy the days with my children."

"My pivot point came one night shortly after returning home," Beck continued. "We were all in the kitchen as a family and I had an attack. … I saw the faces of my children, and the idea that I would someday not remember them, nor would I remember my soon-to-be-born grandchild, hit me like a bag of bricks. And we looked at each other and I asked, 'What am I doing? Maybe we should all move up to the mountains and spend all the time I have left together.'"

Beck said his doctors told him that if he didn't stop working, his condition would get worse. But he was "haunted" by the fact that doctors told him to stop, and God did not.

Beck said his "ability to function grew to be so bad" that they were forced to do more taped pieces for television, and on radio, Beck's co-hosts Pat Gray and Stu Burguiere — two of a handful of people who knew about Beck's condition — would sometimes have to cover for Beck in the middle of a sentence.
