"Code of Silence" by Bruce Springsteen
There's a
code of silence that we don't dare speak
There's a wall between us and a river so deep
And we keep pretending that there's nothing wrong
But there's a code of silence and it can't go on
Is the
truth so elusive, so elusive as you can see
that it ain't enough baby
To bridge the distance between you and me
There's a list of grievance 100 miles long
There's a code of silence and it can't go on
I'm Alan Watt and this is Cutting Through the Matrix. Today, it's the 3rd of October 2007. Newcomers, as always, I ask them to look into cuttingthroughthematrix.com to catch up on what's been happening in the world, how we got to where we are and where we’re going. Who's planning it? Who's doing it and how we all go along with it and why we go along with it. Look into alanwattsentientsentinel.eu for downloadable transcripts in the various languages of Europe.
It's a hard thing for people when they wake up to realize that most of the things they ever believed in were given to them by experts. Experts come in many guises and we've been trained from birth that you have priestly experts. You have ministerial experts. You have medical experts. Experts for everything. In other words, you don't have to think for yourself. You can't even watch a news program without them bringing on experts to tell you how to dress for the weather or put on a raincoat if it's raining. It's getting that bad. Or a hurricane is on its way, here's what you should do, store water to drink. I mean are we that stupid we have to be told what to do for basic survival? Unfortunately, you see a lot of people today are, they need the experts to tell them what to do.
I've just gone up through Sudbury there. There's a whole two-mile stretch of billboard after billboard from the police. Some of them telling you about all the speeding fines and so much per kilometer you get charged et cetera, and then it's got all these other signs too. “Speed kills.” “If you're tired, slow down, take a rest.” I mean people – and someone pointed this out to me. Some people really need this. They actually have to be told pull over and take a rest because they can't think of it for themselves. That's the world we've been trained into accepting, a world planned long ago.
Everything happening today was planned long ago, including the system that would rule over us. A system of experts and batteries of experts, all with various diplomas and degrees down to their knees, and we're trained to obey them without thinking or questioning. That really is the outcome of the socialist type society – society of mass-man rule. Society that was written about by the top people and professors at the leading universities in the 1800’s. They knew it was going to come to pass because they worked for the big boys. They told them to make it so, and they wrote about it. That was the days of the Industrial Revolution when you had mass production and you stopped looking at people as individuals. You saw them as the masses. They were the workers and there were categories of workers. The lower classes; the middle classes take care of the lower classes and serve the upper classes. All these different classes came into being. I used to wonder why Britain got on so well with the big Brahmans of India, until I realized that the caste system was identical to the class system of England. I'll be back after these following messages.
"Everybody
Knows" by Leonard Cohen
Everybody knows that the dice are loaded
Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed
Everybody knows the war is over
Everybody knows the good guys lost
Everybody knows the fight was fixed
The poor stay poor, the rich get rich
That's how it goes
Everybody knows
Hi. Alan Watt back here with Cutting Through the Matrix, just going through some of the changes that happened from the old feudal system, where for a thousand years Norman overlords had to man Europe on behalf of their kings and queens, their masters. How they divvied up countries and put these overlords in charge. There was a very good movie made, it must have been back in the 1960’s with Charlton Heston and it was called "Warlord,” well worth seeing because it was pretty factual. They took a lot of data from history and they showed you how the Normans operated. They were some of the cruelest people ever to take over countries and they treated the peasantry terribly, very abominably. We find that the feudal system lasted a long time.
It's interesting too that the Normans came in to England eventually, and within about 50 years they had rounded up the people, formed armies and had them all going off to do crusades into the Middle East; and no one ever questions that. First, they have a war to take over the whole of Europe and all the manpower and resources of Europe, and once they'd done it, hardly a few years had passed and here they are taking all this wealth and manpower going over to the Middle East to conquer it, where they did in fact set up a king of Israel for a time, whose descendents are still alive today in fact and one of them who helped create the European Union.
Getting back to the end of the feudal system, they came up with this idea of the mass-man. They stopped seeing the peasants as just the local peasantry, where at least they knew their name, and they look at them as the masses. The Corn Laws were repealed to allow foreign grain to be dumped on the British market to get all the small farmers out of the way. They had no employment, no work and they were forced into the big industrial cities that had just been thrown up, the "Red Brick Cities" as they were called. The big horses and carts that used to cart people off during plagues were used all throughout the Industrial Era in Britain to collect the dead every morning, because people were paid pitiful wages and they were all malnourished and they worked a minimum of 16 hours per day. That was “merry old England” at the height of its power.
This system is usually called a sort of fascist type system and we still have it today. Fascism, as I say, if it walks like duck, quacks like a duck and acts like a duck, it's a duck; and that's what we have today is corporate fascism. Professor Carroll Quigley said it right when he said the new feudal system, the new type of feudal system is to be run by the CEOs of the big international corporations.
When we look at politicians today, sure enough, they're in and out of positions of CEOs, then into politics then back in as CEOs, through this musical chair act and routine and we just accept it quite calmly. We know this too that the big, big stores that they've thrown up all across the whole planet
