Alan Watt "Cutting Through The Matrix" LIVE on RBN:
Poem Copyright Alan Watt Feb. 12, 2010:
Ode to P.T. Barnum and His Modern Ilk:
"Ancient Past is Full of Myth and Confusions,
A Goldmine for Shysters with 'What If?' Conclusions,
His Imagination is Constantly Movin',
Claiming Things that Cannot Be Proven,
For Every Wonderful Thing We Like to Believe,
There's a Clever Shyster Ready to Deceive
For Personal Gain and for Aggrandizement,
'Cause Mystery is its Own Advertisement,
Historians Like the Past All Neat and Tidy,
Giving Too Much Credence to Rich and Mighty,
Optimists Say, 'No Aliens, World's Perfect and Bright,'
The Pessimists Fear the Latter are Right,
Take the Best from Belief and to All Good Luck,
Enjoy Glib-Tongue Shysters, But Don't Be a Schmuck"

"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
Hi folks. I am Alan Watt and this is Cutting Through The Matrix on February 12th 2010. As always, I suggest to the newcomers - and there are newcomers coming in all the time - to look into cuttingthroughthematrix.com web site. Scroll down and see all the other sites that I have up there. These are the official sites. Bookmark them for future use; that way, when the big ones stop me from uploading which they do once in a while, while they sort out their strange technical problems, you can always get the latest shows for download. It’s a good idea too, to try these alternate sites sometimes if you find that there is a sticking on download; it’s generally because everyone goes into the .com site at the same time. [Official sites listed above.]
This is the tin can moment. I don’t give you many all through the show; it’s just this one at the start. I’m different from everybody else. That stops you from getting upset but it also unfortunately helps you forget by the end of the show. But it’s up to you to keep me going because I’m probably the only person out there who is not backed by a foundation, as you can tell by my web site. I’m not backed by any big corporation to sell their products. I don’t get money from advertisers. That’s how most hosts rake in their cash; they bring them on as guests, they are backed by them, and they push whatever they sell. The ads you hear on this show are paid directly by the advertisers to RBN to broadcast this show, to pay for the air time, to pay for their satellite upload, and their staff and bills. We all get the bills coming in. So it’s up to you to keep ME going and you can do so by buying the books, CDs and DVDs I have for sale or you can donate to me. [Ordering and donation option listed above.] For those who get the disks burned and passed to them, because they don’t like using computers but they play them on their CD players, you can get in touch with me at [address above]. People should be really careful with those postal codes because they are so sticky now. Just one letter or number off and they get thrown into a frenzy of absolute dumbness; they don’t know what to do about it even if the rest of the address is there. They know where Estaire and Ontario is but my God, they just can’t move the post through. It’s astonishing. I’ll be back with more after this break.
Hi folks. This is Alan Watt and we’re Cutting Through The Matrix. A lot of young people email me. Every other day there is someone with so many questions and it’s quite understandable naturally because they’ve gone through the intense indoctrination – socialization, they call it at school – process. They are getting trained to be social creatures under scientific guidance, supposedly, yet a lot of the students know there is just something wrong with everything. They can’t really pinpoint any exact thing, just sort of everything. That’s generally the first thing that you experience when you are waking up to this world that you’ve been trained to see in a certain way with all of its media and its educational system. You just know there is something wrong about it. You see the natural injustices.
Children see natural injustices so quickly and easily but what they can’t tell are the various reasons for those injustices; therefore, they can be given the wrong reasons for them and whoever gets the blame, those children will start blaming as well. That’s how they use the ecological indoctrination, their religion in school, to show that the big boys are the bad boys. What they don’t tell them is that the big boys WANT the controlled society, the controlled world. The big boys never lose. When the UN takes over a biosphere for instance, well guess what? Under the UN treaties, the big corporations get the first dibs to go in and mine or whatever else it’s supposed to do. It actually cuts out all competition for the favorite ones at the top. It’s like free trade too. Free trade is not free trade for every little corporation or company. It’s really a restrictive trade to do with the big boys that get to. The BIG international corporations can have unrestricted free trade.
Everything has a double meaning. It’s double think in fact, that we live in where nothing really is as it seems to be. Definitely, it’s never as it’s presented to the public. So the idea to train youth for the upcoming generation, the upcoming life style that they will be trained in to with its changes, is started very early in school. That was the old Marxian idea; bypass the older ones who have a bit of wisdom. They have caught on to the cons that go on in life with politicians. They’ve found out eventually that it will take 20 years before the truth of any major event is given to the public, which is generally vastly different from the reasons given at the time. So rather than trying to brainwash all the adults, you always go for the youth and program them for the changes they are PLANNED to experience in their lifetime and accept it all as quite natural and normal.
It’s no coincidence they used sociologists and psychologists and behavioral psychologists to MINUTELY study the dictatorships of the past to see why it worked so well, and the types of people that it affected, who were the really ardent followers. They found the same thing with some religions, early religions. It was the youth who were idealistic; it’s those ones that you go for. Of course, dictators also know that is what you go for. You APPEAL directly to the youth and they will worship you like a movie star or a pop star, whatever. That’s what you do. You build up an image of that person as superhuman and they are looked up to, admired.
I watched a documentary not long ago that someone sent me on a disk because I can’t watch anything on video here because of XplorNet’s cutting me back all the time, until I’m crawling. I’m paying the same price for high speed which I never get. Anyway, some people send me disks of things and there was one of China, a very good documentary in different sections going through the phases of the communist regime in China with Mao Tse Tung and how he was worshipped by teenagers… when he was an old man. It was the same phenomena where one young girl said that she shook his hand and they showed her - when she was
