Glenn Beck recommends the writings of former FBI Special Agent (and John Birch Society endorser) W. Cleon Skousen.

In fact, Beck wrote the "Foreward" to the 2009 edition of Skousen's book, The 5000 Year Leap.

However, both Cleon Skousen (and his admirers) misrepresented Skousen's FBI background and inflated his credentials.

Some claim that Skousen was a "top aide" or "administrative assistant" to J. Edgar Hoover.

Others claim that Skousen had extensive investigative experience while he served in the FBI -- particularly with respect to internal security-related matters.

But ALL of these claims are utter falsehoods.

Furthermore, senior FBI officials expressed very derogatory judgments about Skousen's post-FBI endeavors.

In fact, they scornfully described him as someone who allied himself with "professional anti-communists" who represented the "extreme right" in our country and FBI officials thought Skousen was mis-using his FBI service to falsely claim expertise in subject matters which he did not possess.

For a detailed 23-page report on Skousen which is based, primarily, upon his FBI personnel file, see:
