Alan Watt "Cutting Through The Matrix" LIVE on RBN:
Poem Copyright Alan Watt June 1, 2010:
Social Influencing -- Sounds So
Benign,
Streaming Opinions to Minds, Correct for the Time:
"The World Masters Convey Each Opinion,
Unknown by Recipients Under Dominion,
Using Nudges, Peer Pressure, Social Approval,
Published Books on Techniques for Perusal,
Sometimes, By Hegel, They Cause Divide,
Guiding Synthesis as Opponents Collide,
Yet by Subtle Methods they Guide Thought,
To Opinions Expressed, Clothes You Bought,
You See Most Folks Want to Be the Herd,
Afraid of Name-Calling -- Intellectual Nerd,
Sameness, Conformity for Age You Live In,
Restraint to Promiscuity, You are Given
The Societal Norms the Masters Need,
Led by Celebrities and Entertainment Feed,
'Til you're Helpless, Dysfunctional, That's the Goal,
Masters Provide Answers -- Price -- Body, Mind, Soul"

"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 June 1, 2010. Newcomers look into cuttingthroughthematrix.com web site. I always suggest you bookmark all the other sites I have up there because I do get problems with them alternating here and there, quite frequently in the past few weeks in fact. So if you bookmark the other sites you can always download the latest shows. Remember, all the sites there have the same audios for download. They all have English transcripts of a lot of the talks I’ve given in the past which you can download for print up. If you go into alanwattsentientsentinel.eu, the European one, you’ll also get the audios and transcripts for print up in other languages too. [Official sites listed above.] While you are in the sites remember to order the books, CDs and DVDs that I have for sale. That keeps me just ticking over. I do say ticking over because believe you me, this is not a business. I could go with advertising, I could bring on guests for advertising and so on, but it kind of diminishes your perception, the public’s perception if you start doing that. So I try, I try to go this way and really, it’s only a few people who support me month after month. It’s the same people all the time. Thousands and thousands listen, universities use the material and so on, but only the few people keep me going. So if you want to keep me going, purchase the items I have for sale or donate to me and donations are welcome. [Ordering and donation options listed above.] The post isn’t too bad; it gets a bit slow at times but it always gets here. For those who get the disks burned and passed to them, you can get in touch with me at [address above].
I’ve talked so much about reality and how we take things for granted because everyone else does too. Your parents did as well. They had their conditioning for their particular era by the psychological experts and behaviorists and that gave them their culture. It guided them through life, gave them their principals, the new moralities and so on; we are always having new moralities for the new age. We are all recipients of this. It’s all around you. Most people don’t know it. They simply adapt into it and peer pressure is also used to reinforce this. The same techniques are used across the board. I’ll be touching on some of this tonight, how they are using the internet to form your opinions. Believe you me, they knew before they gave you the internet that’s where they were going to go with it and form the RIGHT kind of opinions you should have so that you would conform to the society which they had already designed for you to experience in your lifetime.
-family:Calibri'>It’s an ongoing process. It’s high level; all the TOP universities are involved in this and have been for a long, long time. People like Sunstein and others, the behaviorists, have pretty well figured out where they want to take the world and all of academia is on board with this. They work hand-in-glove with marketing companies, the top marketing companies so that you get assaulted from a whole range of media with particular ways of living, ways of behaving. Of course today it is CONSERVATION. That’s the big thing, conserving, austerity, and so on. Most people really are oblivious that they are the target of it, even when they adapt into it automatically, by osmosis. They don’t think through it. They simply adapt because the punishment and reward is used to go along with this and reinforcement for acceptance in your peer group. I'll be back with more after this break.
This is Alan Watt and we're Cutting Through The Matrix and before I get into social influencing, a very benign term but it’s a very important subject because it’s high-level marketing using top psychology to alter your behavior, en mass basically, knowing you want to conform to the peer group. So they create the TREND for the peer group. I’ll go into that tonight but first I want to touch on heath services, which I’ve mentioned so many times before, are health authorities.
That’s the whole idea of creating National Health Services. They put out as much propaganda out in National Health Service countries to convince the public who are under them that it’s a great thing, how wonderful it works and so on. It sounds that way until you need them and you find out it’s a whole horror story behind trying to get in and get treated and so on. That’s why folk end up phoning ambulances to get into emergency because if you manage to walk in or get carried in, you are last on the list. Everything’s cost effectiveness because it’s politicized by government policies. It all comes down to economics eventually and your social worth and status within the society, within your community for communitarianism. That’s the way we are supposed to go… at the end of austerity that is, which means utter poverty. Therefore they need these agencies all to rule over us.
Britain, for instance, is probably one of the top socialist countries on the planet. It doesn’t matter what party has been in, when you really look behind the scenes they have signed on to EVERY international agreement that’s ever been put in front of them by the United Nations. In fact, the United Nations was born from the guys’ minds in London. They want to bring in this world empire, a socialist empire. To be honest with you, the ones who rule Britain don’t see the peasants of Britain in any different light than the peasants of China or India or anywhere else. They really don’t. They are internationalists; they always have been. Of course they do see themselves as more evolved and a higher species and they can mix quite freely with their peer group, of the higher species in other countries as well. They are those w
