"Code of Silence" by Bruce Springsteen
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
Well you
walk with your eyes open
But your lips they remain sealed
While the vows we made are broken
Beneath the truth we fear to reveal
Now I need to know now darlin'
I need to know what's goin' on so c'mon
Hi folks. I'm Alan Watt and this is Cutting Through the Matrix on February 14th, 2008. Newcomers look into my website cuttingthroughthematirx.com and you'll find lots and lots and lots of talks concerning all the different elements that go into creating and controlling and planning this great New World Order that we're all being ushered through at the moment. Not towards the truth and once you come through the new sheep pen you'll find its vastly different from the one you had before. Much smaller, more controlled and you won't be playing there if they have no function for you. It will be a function only Brave New World and I was thinking about that today. Before I go onto this, I should really talk about the other website. Go into alanwattsentientsentinel.eu for the transcripts in the various languages of Europe. Download them, print them up and pass them around.
I was thinking about that today, the different sciences that have gone on for such a long, long, long time to do with mind control. Mind control works pretty well on everyone, especially the scientific types, the electronic types, and how it's been used on the public for probably a hundred years that we know of, beginning with World War I starting with basic propaganda and then the experiments that were carried on at Tavistock institute to find ways to motivate vast amounts of men in the public to join up in the military and go abroad and serve. That brought me to the whole idea I used to wonder why would so many people just rush off and fight; and sure enough, part of it can be explained by the tribal system and you're reared in a tribal system with national anthems and colors and flags, emblems and figures of authority. That's very, very tribal but unfortunately it's outlived its usefulness really or its initial purpose because we have psychopaths at the top of the tribes and they're interbred. They have been for a long, long time, many centuries, and they employ some of the brighter people amongst us you might say to work for them and study us like you study any other animal and find your Achilles Heel and then they exploit you quite simply by using scientific techniques, especially that of the media. They also use electronic devices as well and that's where it's all going is electronic techniques of controlling the mind, even remotely in fact and eventually down to precise control which will be done through microchipping. That's definitely on the cards for the elite before they can feel perfectly safe for their Brave New World.
Going back to the little Tavistock idea from World War I and the BBC and the propaganda techniques that it already understood, it simply was using it on a mass scale with radio when radio first came out and it worked very, very, very well. They came out with novels that they used to do on stage and they acted out these novels on stage and plays about the great hero going off to war and good-bye darling and all that kind of stuff, and then returning afterwards as more of a man than he'd been before and everybody respected him, this great server of his country. However, when they went on to the radio waves they upgraded it all and adapted it for mass audiences who had to visualize because they couldn't see a stage play. They had to visualize the things so they got expert writers and early psychologists and that type of thing so that you could picture the hero and the heroine and all those people in your mind and it works very well.
However, TV took over and it's not good enough yet, even though we emulate everything on TV, it's not good enough. They're going towards the total control of individuals right down to the individual. You must be predictable. At the moment, yes, mass psychology, mass indoctrination works on most people but not everyone and that's the problem. It's the few in the group who can still retain their thinking powers that they want to target and that's why they've been picking young children in school, especially males who have leadership qualities and ask questions. The ones who ask questions, they're very inquiring, teachers now call them "nuisances," but now of course if you ask too many questions you're hyper or you've got problems of some kind or another. They never stop and think maybe this stuff, the social indoctrination they've been taught at school might just be boring to that particular child. Maybe he can see through the indoctrination process. A lot of them do.
There's always another reason for what's being done, especially scientifically, and it's amazing within a generation we've allowed the children to be drugged, to be drugged by the pharmaceutical industries. Not just that. Parents have been indoctrinated mainly through the daytime media and their heroes that they watch during the daytime media on talk shows that this is good for their children. It's utterly amazing, utterly amazing that this has happened so quickly through simple indoctrination, plus you find lots of parents that they have no time for their children. They want to be left in peace to play their own particular games and the children are supposed to go off and play their own games and the parents don't have much time for them, so a child that's always asking questions is now a nuisance. The old thing about being bonded to your children I think has been broken for many people for a long, long time.
Going back to this war thing: Why do so many people just go off and fight wars? Yes, going off to fight a war to save your tribe was a natural survival instinct at one time; but today, it's so easy to get them to go off. They don't even need much persuasion really and propaganda. Not much at all because they've been trained that the winners in this Brave New World for the last 15, 16, 20 years even with the video games arthe guys with the big guns, the Rambo's and the camo or the black suits, and they want to be like them. In those video games there's no such things as an emotional winner. Emotion is out the window. It's just brute force wins the day and children intuitively go towards the powerful. That which is powerful is what they gravitate to. They grow up recognizing subconsciously who the winners are in the system. It's like Mao Tse Tung said, "power comes from the barrel of a gun and the bigger the gun the better"; and they can grow up to be the real GI Joes and they're given a free reign pretty well to go off and "kick butt," as they say, which means slaughter people with impunity. That's the sad state of affairs we live in today.
Very few question anything and as I say the propaganda today is almost minimalistic as compared to what it used to be in wars gone by. Heavy propaganda was laid on in previous times. Daily barrages of utter tripe and nonsense was churned out all day long every day by major media. Today, you don't need very much at all. They don't really inquire as to why they're fighting, they just want to go and fight. Then they come home and they bitch and complain as to why their country is falling apart, and then they pick a group that's dominating or they perceive is dominating them and they blame them for the domination. The thing is they never ask themselves if they're so easy to control themselves on mass, perhaps a small minority is a natural order if they're so willing to go off and get slaughtered or fight other people and they never benefit from it themselves; but they can't think that far. They've got to blame someone else for their own misfortunes and that's the world we live in.
Behind it all is this great science and the myriad of agencies of MI6, CIA, Mossad and all the rest of them worldwide that have all merged forces; the KGB. We even have KGB leaders now running Homeland Security in the U.S. and the generation, like Plato said, that lives through the massive changes, where right is wrong and wrong is right and everything is turned upside down, are the last ones to even notice. Most people don't even remember what the Cold War was or how evil the supposed KGB was, as compared to your own good guys and here you have KGB agents running Homeland Security and ex-Nazis and all the rest of it. However, people don't mind as long as they can still continue in a certain amount of freedom and play themselves. Go and play and enjoy themselves. It's a sad commentary, but it's scientifically run.
Everyone has heard of the experiments on shocks that were given in the big experiment in not just one but different universities, where they'd bring in the supposed people who would administer the shocks to others that see through a glass, other students that were strapped in a chair and they would have a dial with different levels of shock to administered and they administered on command of a supervisor. Those experiments were funded by your tax money to try and find out why people obey authority. As long as someone else is telling the one who administers the shocks to increase it and keep doing it, they generally will do as they're told. You displace the blame onto someone else.
However, even during these experiments they find a few who seem to enjoy administering the shocks. Now the whole point with this was the one who was administering the shocks were told that it was all fake. No real shocks were administered to the person in the chair and the different people that would rotate in and out of those chairs were volunteers who knew they were not going to be shocked. It was all bogus but they would scream and howl and make it very realistic. The whole point as I say is to find out why people obeyed authority even when it became sadistic and cruel.
A book was put out called "Obedience to Authority" by Stanley Milgram. That's M-I-L-G-R-A-M and it was Harper Torch Books. It goes through the whole experiment from every possible angle in an existential type of viewpoint. Remember, existentialists really have no real cry to emotions to deal with. They simply look at the observations. You look at the data, look at the types of experiments. Tear apart. Find out why it works the way it does. It's like taking a firearm apart to find out how it works, why it works. Nothing else really matters to them because what they're after are the tools of authority and how to use that authority and obedience and get the obedience from their victims. This stuff is passed up the ladder to all the big intelligence agencies, who really are behind it all too.
Mind control did not being with MKULTRA. That's a great misperception that somehow it wasn't in vogue. Such a lie there. From the days of the first mental hospital in England they were already studying human nature, and even before that, so this kind of information is vital to intelligence agencies who want to control vast amounts, maybe whole countries, nations or people on behalf of their masters who are the "dominant minority" as it's called at the top. People should go and read that book, "Obedience to Authority" by Stanley Milgram, because it does give you an insight into what you think are the average person. People you'd even know that would go into categories within this particular book. Male and female were sorted out, different age groups too, to find out if there was any differences and they didn't find any difference even as to the ones who had applied the shocks on command. They just had a different way of dealing with it or even displacing the blame. Quite fascinating really, a study in itself and I'm sure this amongst many, many other experiments, this book has been widely read by those in authority at the top.
What this kind of book portrays as I say is a society that can be manipulated to do anything whatsoever. Believe anything whatsoever by training just like an animal because that's really how they view the public, and unfortunately, regardless of what we think of ourselves as either a spiritual being or whatever you want or however you want to look at it, it's irrelevant to those at the top. They only look at what works for them and they do see us as animals, and unfortunately, regardless of what we think of ourselves or how we think of ourselves, the techniques they use on us are very effective, very, very effective and that goes for people who belong to religions and those who don't. It doesn't matter. People of all categories come under the effects of these very precise sciences. I'll be back with more after the following messages.
Hi folks. I'm Alan Watt and this is Cutting Through the Matrix, going through some of the thoughts that go through my head on a daily basis. Just before this program started, I went through and grabbed a book that came to mind called "Obedience to Authority" by Stanley Milgram. That's Harper Torch Books publication and in the Preface I'll read a little bit of the Preface here because it's interesting how scientists look at us. They cut out all really emotion, all the little things that make you human that tie you to those around you that dispel with the whole idea of love or acceptance and genuineness within a person; or even giving. They have to always boil it down to something in return because they can't understand being human. Scientists are very cold in this respect. They're psychopathic too, the ones who study us.
The Preface says here:
"Obedience, because of its very ubiquitousness, is easily overlooked as a subject of inquiry in social psychology. But without an appreciation of its role in shaping human action, a wide range of significant behavior cannot be understood. For an act carried out under command is, psychologically, of a profoundly different character than action that is spontaneous.
The person who, with inner conviction, loathes stealing, killing, and assault may find himself performing these acts with relative ease when commanded by authority. Behavior that is unthinkable in an individual who is acting on his own may be executed without hesitation when carried out under orders.
The dilemma inherent in obedience to authority is ancient, as old as the story of Abraham. What the present study does is to give the dilemma contemporary form by treating it as subject matter for experimental inquiry, and with the aim of understanding rather than judging it from a moral standpoint."
Alan: See, there's no moral standpoint in observation here. There's no right and wrong in the existentialist type of point of view. It's just what are the effects.
"The important task, from the standpoint of a psychological study of obedience, is to be able to take conceptions of authority and translate them into personal experience. It is one thing to talk in abstract terms about the respective rights of the individual and of authority; it is quite another to examine a moral choice in a real situation. We all know about the philosophic problems of freedom and authority. But in every case where the problem is not merely academic there is a real person who must obey or disobey authority, a concrete instance when the act of defiance occurs. All musing prior to this moment is mere speculation, and all acts of disobedience are characterized by such a moment of decisive action. The experiments are built around this notion.
When we move to the laboratory, the problem narrows: if an experimenter tells a subject to act with increasing severity against another person, under what conditions will the subject comply and under what conditions will he disobey? The laboratory problem is vivid, intense, and real. It is not something apart from life, but carries to an extreme and very logical conclusion certain trends inherent in the ordinary functioning of the social world.
