It turns out Glenn Beck’s Anon video is viral marketing for his wife’s Mercury One program. It’s a dumb charity with a clumsy mission statement that reads like this, but less elegant somehow.

For example:

The course of the space program, and in many ways that of the United States was forever changed when NASA launched the Mercury Space Program.  The Mercury program learned from the past and provided the bridge to our future. In many ways, our organization, Mercury One, is going to do the same thing.  We will take and learn from the lessons of the past by getting our history right and instilling the values and ethics of the Judeo-Christian world and prepare us and the upcoming generation for the tomorrows yet to come.

Uh, OK. Stupid, but sure, fine. But what does your charity do, exactly?

Donations will go to making sure that Mercury One will fulfill its mission to inspire, organize, and mobilize to improve the human condition physically, mentally and spiritually with malice towards none and charity for all.

No, but…I mean…that’s just restating your mission, I’m  wondering…that is…

Glenn Beck’s chosen icon of American exceptionalism is a $392.6 million taxpayer-funded program that from his perspective accomplished little more than embarrassing the Russkies.
