Pentagon Prayer Incident Sparks Controversy
Recently, during a prayer session at the Pentagon amidst the Iran conflict, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth offered a prayer he titled “CSAR 25:17” aimed at rescue workers. In this prayer, he closely quotes a memorable passage from Quentin Tarantino’s 1994 film Pulp Fiction, famously spoken by Samuel L. Jackson, but interestingly, does not cite actual scripture. Instead, the content is a loose blend of biblical references mixed with fictional elements.
Although Hegseth clarified that the prayer was not meant to be Scripture but instead “intended to reflect Ezekiel 25:17,” mainstream media sharply criticized it as a glaring misquote, belittling Hegseth for seemingly confusing the Bible with a Hollywood script.
This story caught the attention of Glenn Beck, who was quite unsettled by what he discovered surrounding the incident.
Glenn invited executive producer Ricky Ratliff Felman to discuss media controversies. Her findings suggested that Turkish psychologists and Russian state media were amplifying the outrage over Hegseth’s prayer.
“This whole thing went viral on various platforms,” she commented.
Glenn soon recognized a troubling pattern emerging from recent news.
“We kicked off the week with a viral post claiming that Donald Trump isn’t genuinely a Christian due to alleged blasphemy against Jesus,” he remarked, referencing a now-removed AI-generated meme depicting Trump in religious garb, which many interpreted as him comparing himself to Jesus.
Following this, the Iranian embassy in Tajikistan shared another AI-generated video that dramatically illustrated a Jesus-like figure attacking Trump, who was similarly portrayed in the earlier meme. This video garnered millions of views.
Furthermore, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian condemned Trump’s actions as “blasphemous” towards Jesus, whom he characterized as a symbol of peace and brotherhood.
Connecting all these dots, Glenn perceives a larger strategy at play. “We’re part of a significant psychological operation right now,” he stated.
“It’s critical to grasp that Iran’s only chance of prevailing in this scenario hinges on us fracturing from within, and both Russia and China understand that,” he elaborated.
He described the turmoil surrounding the Iran war as being exacerbated by “Twelve Shia Muslim fanatics” that thrive on chaos, suggesting that “the great devil” has only one weapon: inciting discord among the American populace.
Glenn urges his audience to recognize these social media dramas for what they truly are: attempts to destabilize the country internally.
“America needs to realize this. Don’t be misled. Understand that social media can function as a mass destruction tool,” he cautioned.
“Avoid jumping to conclusions. Don’t let yourself get swept up in the divisive narrative.”
