Hi folks, I’m Alan Watt and this is Cutting Through The
Matrix on January 20, 2019. Last
night, because of global warming, when I left to go to bed at about two in the
morning it was about -24°F, which is about -32° maybe on the centigrade scale.
That’s without a wind. It’s been like
that for quite a few nights in a row in fact. It’s been one of the coldest
winters, really, when you take a record for yourself. Don’t listen to the stats they’re constantly
churning out there, you’ve got to keep your own records of them. It’s quite
amazing to see how cold, and how long
the winters are now compared to what they were not so long ago. And yet, as you’re living through all this
you’re told constantly, and come about February or March they’ll tell us it was the warmest winter, probably, on record. That’s what they generally
do.
I’ve given talks about this before, by
keeping my own records and comparing them, what they
project it’s going to be for today or tomorrow or whatever, and what I notice
is, they never change their predictions. If they claim there’s going to be a
few inches of snow, you’ll find it might be a foot or foot and a half and
things like that, but they don’t readjust it on the records to say that that actually happened, they just take their own predictions. So predictions are more important than the consequent facts.
Everything today is so incredibly
politicized. Isn’t it? The average person doesn’t know that. That’s the
stunning part about it really. But everything is so politicized. There’s hardly
anything you read or hear on the electronic media of any kind that isn’t
incredibly politicized, and everything’s out there with some agenda in view.
Everything’s agenda driven today.
I’ve mentioned it before, how we live
in an age of personality cults. Folk don’t even realize that even on your
mainstream television the main anchor people that become, that are made to be
popular, like personalities, they’re really a corporation. Everything is a, everybody is a corporation these days. Politicians hire the marketers to
give them a personality, an image to project it to the public in a kind of
fake, fake reality, a kind of a fake image of how wonderful they are, etc. And
it’s all fiction. Everything is about
appearance to the public. Perception management they call it.
We are in an incredible time today
when everything is like that. Everything.
The stories they put out today are often put out by marketing companies using
the memes of today and the themes of today and the politicized agendas of the day, but the
main motive is really to get publicity. Everybody this week has been prattling
on about the latest Gillette toxic ads or whatever, men are toxic
and masculinity is toxic and all that stuff. And it turns out the one who
really put it forward is a person who was actually advertised
on behalf of Gillette, in advertising themselves. So when you think of
the free publicity they’ve got with everybody prattling on about it, for pro
and con, etc… And again, it ties right in with what
Adam Curtis talked about it with, the media is meant to get you angry and
emotionally upset so’s you’ll all… because the more upset you get the more
people will click away on the Internet in their chat rooms and their twitters
and all the rest of it.
Gillette draws fire for #MeToo commercial that challenges 'toxic
masculinity' - cnbc.com / 15 Jan 2019
But what a free publicity that is,
isn’t it, for a company that probably would not, maybe would have never thought
about Gillette before, for instance, nevermind asked
the question, what on earth is Gillette doing, a big corporation that’s out to
make an incredible amount of money, what’s it doing in that area in the first
place? Well, it’s a great free publicity thing. If the big agenda right now was
marriage, for instance, they’d be battering about marriage and oh wow,
marriage, marriage, pro or con. Again,
it doesn’t make any difference, as long as that was
the theme of today and everybody gets upset about it. You see.
But it’s the same too with the
personalities we’re given as figureheads in charge, apparently in charge of
countries. I gave out the articles before where politicians in the UK, and
it’s the same I’m sure in the US and Canada and elsewhere, actually have acting lessons given to them. They attend acting lessons and how to appear
to the public, and deportment and how to stand and posture for all their photo
ops, etc. Because nothing in the system you’re living in today, it’s all
visual, etc., it’s not real anymore.
Maybe it hasn’t been real for an awful long time.
You find too that a company like
Gillette that’s there for mass profit, right, with quite an amazing history. I
remember a long time ago, many years ago an article in the paper, I think I maybe read it on the British side. It was a big award given
to a man who taken over Gillette at that time, an ex-military fella, as the CEO
or owner, I’m not quite sure which. But
he turned it into the massive powerhouse it is today for profits. And it said
in the newspaper how they did it was to vastly
cheapen the life of each blade so that people would buy more and at the
same time market it in such a way that folk would think it was wonderful and
buy more of them, and lo and behold, it actually worked. That’s what
they said at the time in the newspapers.
And I thought about it too. Because
you see, at one time people had open razors that would last a lifetime. They
sharpened it on the strop, and you’d see it in old movies and so on. And then
came in the closed razor, safety razor as they called it. You had one blade initially, that, again,
would last quite some time. It was a bit
thicker but high carbon steel and it would give you a
lot of shaves. And everybody caught on the act, make them thinner and softer
steel so they won’t last as long, they’d be dull, and you’d buy more of them.
But again, then you can make the people by the actual blade holder in fact, the
rest of the whole thing more often too. That was part of the gimmick as well
for a point. And they says, no, let’s just make it a
fancy looking holder and then give them a five blade pack and make the price
awfully expensive. So they did it.
The same techniques basically as
lightbulbs, I’ve talked about that too. Because there’s an awfully good
documentary put out years ago on built-in and planned obsolescence. [The Story of Stuff - youtube.com] Where the companies that used to make
lightbulbs made them last for many, many years. Each bulb would last pretty well almost forever. And of course, if you’re making
a product and you’ve got a company to make them you would
get to a stage, you’d think, where everybody got enough lightbulbs and unless
you broke them by mistake they would last forever, so
you’re out of business. So the companies that made
these bulbs met in Germany. They went from Britain and US and everywhere else
over to Germany for this big meeting. All the makers of these lightbulbs
decided to sign an agreement, come to an agreement where they’d limit the life
to a certain amount of time. And even then, it was a much, much longer, much
longer than they last today. And over the years they would agree again to
shorten them even more and more and more, until of course towards the end you
find that you put the thing in, it lasts a few days sometimes and just pops as
soon as you switch on the lights. That’s
how you do it, the same with razor blades and everything else by different
companies. They’re all pretty well in the same con
game. Then you have the double razor,
you know, double blade razors and all the other gimmicks, etc. Whereas if you had a decent high carbon steel
thicker blade it would last you an awful long time. And there you go.
But everything today is profit driven, big, big profit. At one time you used to have
a lot of families, actually real families who had the
controlling interests in the shares of their companies. Therefore, the head,
the people who became the CEOs were of the family lineage. They used to have a
kind of responsibility to the family name. They knew their workers too, a lot
of the workers and they look after them, made sure they were okay if they were
sick and so on, they’d make sure their pensions were okay and that kind of
thing. And that was awfully good for a long time, the way that it worked with a
lot of companies. Not them all, naturally.
Then along came the corporate raiders,
as they called it. The corporate raiders found
backdoors into companies to buy up excess shares and then get the controlling
interests, kick out the family members of the board if possible, and then they
started selling off the assets. All the
things that functioned to make the companies what they were was sold off and
stripped and made lean they said so
they could resell it. The whole point was to resell them. And a lot of them went under as soon as they
stripped them of their assets and so on. A pure incredible, a greed type…
personified in fact, a greed personified, really, system as they ditched
everybody. They got rid of older folk with the skills and training, etc. and
sold off the assets. Until companies were folding all over the place
eventually. But that was a get-rich-quick.
And since then, really, we’ve been in
this era of the me generation as they
call it, and winners and losers. Everyone’s taught to be a winner. And as you lose old moralities that kept
cultures intact, and we are, we’re constantly losing our moralities of the old
systems. And of course, the old system wasn’t perfect, either,
by the way. There was a lot of horror involved in the old system.
Indeed. But what I’m saying is that there were values in amongst the people
themselves that kept things just tolerable, and you brought in the human aspect
of it where you couldn’t just push people around for money’s sake. Well, we’ve pretty well lost that today.
Back in the 70s I think it was, there
was a book, maybe in the 70s or 80s, called The Corporate Man. It was about the era where they started to
really, really push the corporations as big massive
empires unto themselves. And you were part of a team, the teamwork, teamwork,
teamwork. And of course, the neurologists and scientists and psychologists were
on board with all this stuff to make sure, with all their different tests, that
if they brought someone on board would they be the
right person before they hired them.
And they’re pretty good at predicting who would go along with anything at all
that the company did, even all the things that perhaps they shouldn’t go along
with, and they would swear unyielding
alliance to these companies no matter what happens. And we never really got
rid of that eventually. Now that whole kind of culture is spread into all of
society. Milton Friedman too came out
with his, oh, greed is good, greed is
good, being taught through all business colleges and universities.
In such a culture of course as I say,
it’s winners and losers. With the Internet with the chat rooms and Facebook and
Twitter and all the rest of it, everybody’s a narcissist out there. It’s all
about me, as they say, it’s all about me.
And again, Curtis mentioned that too on some of his documentaries, where all
the information is being gathered about you to reflect back
to you, to advertise to you and suggest to you, it’s all about you,
you, you. Which boosts the whole
idea of narcissism, that oh, I’m so important. Really. Really. But you’ve never seen such incredible arrogance on a
personal level as we have today. We’re losing our natural humaneness, and
that’s all through companies and corporations.
I’ve even found out this last little
while, there’s no point in complaining to a corporation about anything, whether
it’s a government agency or anything else. Actually, private
ones are bit better to deal with, they’ll try and get
things fixed. Whereas government agencies are like
civil service bureaus where they can’t really fire them. And if you complain about something it
doesn’t matter what the problem is or who you happen to be, you’re a figure, a
number, a non-entity and you’re dealt with as such. It’s a there-there, dear-dear-dear. Nothing’s going to happen really. Or if
anything happens it’ll be the wrong thing. Or they haven’t listened.
It’s like going to the doctors today,
they don’t want to know your family
history. We are in Idiocracy, honestly,
where they look at pictures, and the doctors look at pictures, and they’ll even
look on… [Alan chuckles.] I had an experience where one of them showed me
something in a smart phone, I don’t even have a smart phone, I don’t need to,
and which it was pointing out about the spine. Which I
could write a book on the spine and I’m not kidding you. And I thought, why
would you even point to this picture on a cell phone? It’s just like Idiocracy. When in my mind I could just take it from my
mind and draw it for you, perfectly.
But that’s what everything is today. And if you try to mention any kind of family history, which has always and always and always been so important, they don’t listen to you,
it doesn’t matter.
Everything today is flowcharts. So if you go to the doctor or something with a
problem, here’s a problem, it goes to the next, and a little arrow points to
the next flowchart, to the next flowchart, and the next flowchart and the next
flowchart. But if you don’t understand the family history side of things, which
suggests that lineages have got a DNA or a chromosomal problem, perhaps, in the
family lineage, or something that you’re all prone to, then they’ll definitely misdiagnose you.
That happens all the time today.
Well, it’s the same thing complaining,
as I say, to different agencies, especially,
especially with governmental agencies where they tend to pad the hierarchy,
constantly growing all the time with people who work at the bottom, who worked
their way up and come off the shop floor you might say to speak that is, and
put them upstairs, and you end up with too many of them. And no one, no one, no
one is going to risk their neck by maybe getting involved in any complaint or
problem or whatever. Their job simply is to pacify callers with a there-there attitude and try and alleviate something. And often the alleviation will be a lot worse
than the initial problem. I’m not kidding about that.
So that’s where we are today.
Everybody is a personality. Everybody’s got their allegiance to whatever they
work at, especially when there’s big money involved. And the average person doesn’t make the kind
of money that the agency’s for instance that are related to government do make,
naturally. Therefore, since the whole point in the winners and losers society is to get up amongst the winners, then once
they get up there as I say, they aren’t really going to serve the public as
such. They’re not going to do the same
way. No way. And they don’t want their
names mentioned, in case anything goes wrong on any particular
thing and a complaint comes in about themselves, you see. That’s how
scared everybody is of losing their status, which goes along with the level of
their paycheck.
But we’re living in an age now, and
it’s not a matter of bemoaning it to an extent. It’s a matter of factual
reality. We go through massive transformations of society down through time and
it doesn’t mean that you’re actually going into
perhaps a better one. Although the different sociologists and there’s even
anthropologists involved now too. They
even work with the military all the time when they go to invade countries, they
go in with the troops. Because they know
the ways, the Achilles’ heels of different cultures and how to infiltrate,
destroy and even threaten or torture them. This is the society we’re into today, isn’t it, where it’s all professionals but the
professionals are not there to really help you.
They see you as numbers and figures and animals, actual animals to be
manipulated. They do this and we do that and then you’ll do this and… They, them, that’s the public.
The
biggest and most well-paid psychologists and neuroscientists, etc. and
behaviorists all work for big top agencies in marketing, which also are
related to governments and work with governments when required for big, big,
big money, in order to prompt us and persuade us to go
along certain paths. They also work and
have done for a long time with teachers’ associations for education. They
create the toolkits and how to persuade the children collectively to come to the same conclusions as the teacher
wants them to have on any particular topic. And how to even annul any individual
responses from any actual individual child. It’s all pretty
well perfected, using peer pressure, even shunning techniques and
things like that to make them conform. It’s just astonishing. And
that’s through all of education today.
Then the same techniques are now used
on the public, overwhelmingly so. You’re
seeing the politicization, as I say, of everything out there in
order to control, to make you conform. It’s nothing to do with idealism.
Don’t ever fall and say, well, they’re really idealists so there’s an excuse. No,
they’re not. The ones at the very top of this, who design all of this,
[Alan chuckles.] their ideals are not your ideals.
They want you to all conform and be controlled. That’s what it’s all about. That’s what it’s all
about.
If society was free, really, we’d have
individual opinions, individual
everything out there. And people would not
be at each other’s throats because they were different than you. So they’re forcing you to go along with everything, until
you can’t even have your own opinion.
Or you’ll be punished, sometimes in a more shunning type of way. Or else to the
next step, which is coming, where
they’ll go for your income, or your job and get you out of work. That happens
too by the way today. All the way to violence, and then that will come. Because
the system today, run by those at the very, very top use all the unstable
people below them to do the violent things to other people. Which also frightens those people who will
not conform with the latest PC whatever it happens to be. And that’s where we
are with all of this.
I listened to a little clip by
Christopher Hitchens’s brother, Peter Hitchens, and he had done a talk show
with someone from Australia. He was talking about the past and how he’s
lambasted at times about… His criticism today, Peter Hitchens, is that they’re
saying about him that he’s bewailing the loss of a past. But he’s not. He’s
bewailing the loss of some of the values, individual values that kept society
going, even amongst the toughest times where folk would try to help each other
out, out of just basic decency values, which are vanishing. That’s really what
he stood up for in the past. And why things are not necessarily on a great
course for the future, nevermind
the present.
But he did mention that he came out of
University, in his day, I think he went to Oxford, and
he came out like many of this peer group at that time, as Trotskyists, as
Marxists and revolutionaries. They were
all getting trained in University, that’s what
University is for. Never stopping to
think, wait a minute here, this is the big Ivy League type of university, the
real, real granite stone building
type thing as opposed to the red brick, as they pooh-poohed the working-class
type universities that were getting built at that time in maybe in the 1940s or
50s. And why would your establishment have brought in revolutionary Marxists
and Communists into the country and
given them teaching positions, in the areas where those in the elite who rule
Britain… Maggie Thatcher talked about it when she was giving big, big grants to
the private, top private schools, the
posh schools as they’re called, and University, she says, because that’s where our future leaders come
from, and they all meet each other there, and they’ll all know each other as
they grow up in politics and business and CEOs, you see. Why would the
country be allowing that to, not just allowing it but encouraging it to happen?
They’re not dumb. There was never a
country more spied upon ever and
monitored than the UK. A country that ran an empire didn’t just sit back and
let things happen. Even though they were rapidly losing the Empire with a
massive debt being incurred from borrowing from the US banks during World War
I, which you could never pay off, and then World War II rolled along too. They still had that same control system
embedded in the universities, but they allowed all this to happen. So there’s Peter Hitchens, and his brother of course, who
became a radical far-left pretty well communist working for The Nation,
and it wasn’t until Peter Hitchens saw what was happening in the Soviet Union,
towards the end of it, he was there when it fell or supposedly fell. It didn’t
fall, actually, it was just transformed. If those who
remember at the time Gorbachev gave a speech, I think Eric Margolis, if I
remember, who is a good reporter, he did, he covered that speech and he wrote
it down and put it in the newspapers. Gorbachev at that time said that, you’ll hear
shortly that communism is dead. He was talking to the nation, the Soviet
nation, and he says, don’t believe it. He
says, we’re
simply transforming into the next branch, international.
If you’re wondering why the West,
especially the US perhaps, is financing and leading the charge for a form of
socialism, but it’s a corporate socialism with corporations at the top running
the systems below. Very much, by the way, very much
like China, isn’t it? Because China knows, they can give you everything you
want in China. Everything you want. And
Hitchens said the same thing. And they
are, my goodness, you wouldn’t believe what they can buy them, what they can do
in the cities in China where the money is.
The prices of even facelifts and things like that are so cheap and the
youngsters all go in for mass plastic surgery, things like that. But what you cannot have his freedom of thought. You must conform with
the ideas and opinions according to the party norm.
Well, it really isn’t much different…
If you stop thinking in terms like communism, capitalism and corporatism and so
on, it’s all the same, folks.
I’ve said before, you can have the same brass bands playing the same
national tunes and marches as long as you want, but you’ve got to remember, you
can change incrementally quite a long distance, even face the other way, in one
generation quite easily, and done so slickly that folk don’t even recognize it. But when you see the same signs and symptoms
of a system, across the world… and you’d better believe it is the same system. We’re still battling the
same nonsense today of, oh, they’re right-wing, they’re left-wing and they’re
liberal and all that nonsense. It’s the same agenda. Just like Jefferson said, when you see the same agenda continuing
between changes of the house, meaning parties of politics in government,
they’re continuing the same agendas, then
know you’re under tyranny. The
trick is to make you, to appear like they’re different. But they’re not
different at all.
The same agenda is in the UK when it
happened, actually have happened. Look at Cameron for instance, he’s supposedly
conservative, what a joke that was. He was more liberal than anybody. Tony
Blair was more conservative, with warmongering. And the big corporate
giveaways, which rewarded him awfully well by the way, for his wars, don’t you
think? Have you seen lately all the houses and real estate he’s collected
throughout England, and abroad probably too?
But, huh, you don’t get that with just being a little Prime Minister, a
public servant. Hm.
Yeah. Then he was picked up by
J.P. Morgan and elevated to the head of the group to do with, The Quartet they called them I think, The Quartet, to do with
managing corporations across the Middle East.
So as I say, nothing
really is what it seems to be, unless you want to look at it. Remember, most people, and it’s not their
fault, haven’t got a clue what’s going on. They’re too busy having fun. And if
you interject and say, well, would you like to know why this is this way, in
whatever it happens to be, they’ll call it, you’re
a downer. They don’t want to be
reminded of these nasty and unpleasant things. Like debt, for instance, don’t
talk about debt. Don’t talk about,
for instance, a Great Depression that happened before, for some reason it could
never happen now, you see. Hm. But they can’t tell you why it could never happen now. They really do think they’re living
in a kind of a type of free society where special invisible people above them
are managing it all perfectly, on their behalf, like bureaus and bureaus and
bureaus of saviors who just live in little offices in sky buildings or
something taking care of everything in their lives for them, because they love them. That’s as far as it
goes.
It’s astonishing, really, how little
thought goes into asking questions. At
least I find that. I’ve always found that, I
suppose. And I did analyze even when I
was young, I thought, well, the conditions in Britain were so bad for most of
my life. They got a little better about the late 80s I think as the governments
allowed more money to be printed up. They allowed credit cards to be thrown out
across the board to everybody for the first time. At one time you couldn’t get
those things unless you had collateral to back any kind of loan, including
credit cards. That’s how they got a lot of the country through such incredibly
hard times as the deindustrialization went on and on and on for years. Without
telling the public even why. There were agreements they had signed with the EU
to completely deindustrialize the UK.
Everything is secret, isn’t it, when
you’re dealing with agencies and government bureaus and so on. It’s always secret, they can’t tell
you anything. And they won’t tell you
anything. But people are told that they’re there to represent them. Well….. for who? Who is
representing you? For what? They’re there to represent you for what? So we go along with this game of pretense, and we have to
participate in the pretense, and you’re supposed to vote so that someone can
rule you. And again, a marketing company will create the image of this person
or this party that you’re going to vote for. They’ve been doing that for, long
before I was born, that same nonsense. It’s really amazing
to me that people just don’t ask the right questions.
How many folk
do you know have even asked why your countries are always at war somewhere
across the planet? Why? And don’t take
the glib answer, oh well, it’s to stop some genocide over here or there or
whatever. Really, is that what it’s… we’re just out there to do good for people
and stop them killing each other, is that what it’s really
about? You’ll find our countries are behind most of the
killing across the world, and the plundering still today of the resources of
different countries, way more than any little tyrant is doing. The first thing you need for war, and that
includes localized war, without even the term war being used because we don’t use that very often, we’re policing,
we’re policing actions. Just change the
appearance of something, perception management again, to disarm your logical
process of thinking.
You’ll find as I say that, I mean Tony Blair is a good
example, only one of many. The Daily
Mail had it years ago, years after the invasion of
Iraq and elsewhere, where Tony met with the heads, the CEOs of big oil
corporations, and the US ones too, and they
divvied up the oil fields across Iraq before they did the invasion. But
what was the guff that they gave to the public for the necessity for invading
Iraq? Well, suddenly Saddam Hussein, the
guy who had served the West all that time, was a bad man. Bad. He was the
world’s demon, for goodness sake. And that’s how you
do it. George Orwell’s 1984, who
are we at war with today? Who’s the
enemy today? …as they change the gun sites all the time, back and forth,
until you’re lost.
But behind it all is always profit for
big corporations, always. Always,
always, always. The whole idea with
Russia for years now, is because there’s a group in the Middle East involved
with a group in the US and in Britain, who want to have the rights of the oil
fields all through the Middle East and into the east of Europe. And naturally, Russia is also, was also
laying oil pipelines across, in fact, they were feeding a lot of the gas to
Europe of course, and that all got canceled supposedly because of the last
fracas of propaganda. So it’s always to do with
corporate warfare going on. That’s what it’s about. Nothing to do with
ideology. Russia’s got the same
successful psychopaths as we do running us behind the
scenes. Governments are almost there to
rubberstamp things on behalf of the big corporations today.
The big corporations use every
technique of control. Again, persuade the public. The first thing you must do
for warfare is basically get the public support on
your side. For anything you want to do, if you want to invade and steal
whatever, don’t say we’re going to steal, we’re going to help these folk over yonder, that’s what you say. It’s not difficult to do. And because you’re
raising a public to be gullible, believing they’ve got an honest society, even
though there’s no signs of it, they keep telling you
there is, and so why would they lie to you?
Decent folk will say, well, it must be, there must be something to
it, for goodness sake. And the fallout from it all achieves further
goals and that’s what people don’t realize too.
The mass migration, remember, into the whole of Europe was discussed
before Tony Blair got the war going with Britain involved in Iraq. That was
part of the agenda, the mass migration into Britain and other countries. So there are many agendas being fulfilled here. And it’s not
by chance. Not by chance at all.
In other words, what I’m saying to
you, I’ve given talks on this many years ago about how history is written and
it’s never, nothing sudden in
history, unless it’s something out of nature that was unforeseen. But anything
to do with human involvement means there’s been planning involvement. It
doesn’t simply happen by itself. There’s
never a spontaneous war on any grand scale. It takes years of planning to get
it all going and to get all the logistics worked out, etc., before you even
make the first move. Big, big battle plans. But for the public you are taught
today that everything was just fairly sudden. Utter nonsense. Your history books are written in advance, and that’s why the initial
propaganda, no matter how absurd it is at the time, and even more absurd after
the facts and after time has passed with more evidence coming to light, is that
the initial propaganda will be stuck to like concrete and everybody involved at
the top, as they stand together and they close ranks, will never ever vary
their opinions. They all know what to say and do to get, keep
on their own little power jobs and to stay up in a position of wealth.
That’s how precise and total everything is today.
History must be taught afterwards the way it was planned, to be
taught, before the event took place. The same with World War I, and the whole
of other wars as well for that matter. It’s so fascinating to see how the group, the
Milner group that became the Royal Institute of International Affairs / CFR across the planet, for the global enterprise system
based in London, England at the time. It’s so interesting to read The Anglo-American Establishment by
Professor Carol Quigley who was given access to their own historical records.
They have their own historical
records for goodness sake. They also have members who write the history for the public, which, and it’s different. [Alan chuckles.] But for accuracy’s sake, for their own
members, they have archives of the real
histories as it happened, going way back. Quigley said it was so important, their function in history and altering and
planning history, and planning the future, was so important that the world
should know about it. Then, Tragedy
and Hope went too far, the group that he belonged to kind of panicked and
they took the plates back for the book for printing and didn’t print more.
Although, luckily, enough had been printed that could be copied. And they are
accurate when you compare them.
But the other book, The Anglo-American Establishment,
giving you the history of this group and how, they didn’t actually
start in the 1800s but they changed their name in the 1800s. In fact, it
was so secretive they change their names even amongst
the degrees of membership from the low to the top. He shows you how they worked
in circles and how some of the circles would inter-lap, like Chinese puzzle
rings, and where they inter-lapped, those members
there, we would call technocrats today.
They were the, they worked to do more of the doing, the
persuading other groups on how to go along with the doing of things across this Empire that they were creating.
They also planned wars with South
Africa to take over South Africa from the Dutch and settlers, the Boers. They planned an attack on the Boers. Members of this group attacked the Boers and they took along with them a Times reporter. Because they owned newspapers, the members
owned the newspapers in their day too, as they still do today. The reporter’s job was to give a fake account
of this raid on the Boers and have it
as the Boers attacking British
settlements. That would give the propaganda, justification
for Britain then, force them to an extent to then send troops in there. Then the troops would police the areas, fight
the Boers, and they had the Boer War out of it.
Then a few, a handful in London that really ran the Empire and the
resources of it all, would then grab the diamond and gold fields of South
Africa, the diamonds and gold. That’s
how it was done.
Quigley goes through it and a lot of
the members involved in The
Anglo-American Establishment. It’s quite fascinating to read it. When you
realize what he’s telling you, and in his position too, what he’s not telling
you, he could even go further than that. But he did say that for the last hundred years or so they pretty
well had been instrumental in steering the course of history. Well, it
hasn’t stopped. It hasn’t stopped. And
depending on how you look upon this agenda, if you’re an insider naturally you’re
going to get rewarded for going along with it all. And you do. Doors will open
if you are tapped to go into the CFR. You can’t go and apply for it, you’re tapped. They’ve already sussed you out to see if you can keep your mouth shut, how
trustworthy you are, how much influence you can have in your little circle.
Then they bring you up and put you into different positions. They’re all
through the civil service of government as well and the military too, at the
top. And for the military, they don’t often even have to serve much time in the
field, if any at all, they’re just rammed up through the ranks pretty quickly. Once they’re up to the top ranks they know
all the contacts, the military-industrial boys. Then they’re given jobs, the
CEOs at times, or go-betweens to lobby on behalf of the military-industrial
complex. It’s quite a system. But it’s a
completely different reality than what the peasants are taught at the bottom, that pay for everything, and fight for everything, and do the fighting.
It’s vastly different. Vastly, vastly different. So perception
management is incredibly important in the way that we are run.
I’ve always mentioned in my talks, at
least I hope I have, that I don’t give you nostalgia for the
past. But there’s no doubt about it, the natural humanity you’d see from
people even in times of incredible poverty, and the UK was incredibly poor
after World War II. And they were
incredibly rationed right up until the 1954, I think, and even then, lots of
the food was still getting taken out of British farms and sent abroad to feed
Europe. It was a devastating war.
Devastating. But during it all you still
found decency amongst different people. But you’d also find a lot of
viciousness amongst those who’d had maybe a few generations of poverty. Because
to survive people can become awfully hard, as well, naturally. But it was the balancing out of it with the
decency there too that got people through it.
I remember when people didn’t own
their own homes. I mean, most folk, say, in Scotland rented Council housing.
They couldn’t afford their own homes. A socialist country, socialism, as far as
I was concerned, was the suppression
of people, hchhh, not for people to be able to afford
and to by anything. They
were kept at the bottom level with wages controls, prices controls, high
taxation. And that’s how it was, set
almost in stone that way. It was terrible.
Amongst it all you had ridiculous public relations exercises of
propaganda, run again by psychologists and marketing companies, on how
wonderful the youth were today, they had all this chance in the pop business
and rock business and so on, and we should all be happy because you had good
music. Well, it was to give you the amount of fake idea
for the change of the future. Because they weren’t raking in the
millions of bucks, like two or three different top groups. Of course
they weren’t. They were lucky to get jobs, a lot of them at that time.
As I say, so anyway, Peter Hitchens,
he did mention that he’s not nostalgic for all of the things of the
past. But he did mention they had basic
values and there was a basic remnants of a culture
that came from what is hated, and
that was at least Christian values, how to treat each other. That came in to good
effect to get folk through the hard times. Neighbors would often, I remember,
help each other out to pay the rents. Very frequently.
That was quite normal. You didn’t have the mass commercialization of purchasing
and buying because most folk bought everything secondhand, that I knew. It was the same across a lot of places in England too,
a lot of big, big cities, etc. People were just broke, and somehow, they
survived and ticked along basically.
The so-called Empire thing, that was
for Hollywood to play that up, the wonderful Empire, they had. Because the general public didn’t profit from it at all. They paid for it all through their taxes, to
be armed and policed by soldiers and all the rest of it. But that’s what it
was. Nothing really changes, just the perception of how it’s managed today, and
the constant reiteration that you’re free and you’ve never been so free,
as you’re the most surveyed and surveilled society in history. It’s incredible, ‘eh.
But anyway, I didn’t even mean to go
there today. I was just going to prattle
this off, a whole bunch of articles. But what gets me is,
that most folk won’t ask questions. The youth are always catered too much more than the adults too. Because the youth, and I
really mean this, with anthropology and psychology and the milestones in life
and psychodynamics, and all the rest of the stuff working on us all the time, they know exactly through the culture industry how to cater to you. For the young folk
it’s sex and hedonism and narcissism, and just fill their heads full of it,
fill their heads full of it, get lots of this, party, fun, sex. For the people
who do get hitched, which are declining all the time naturally with all the
anti-marriage propaganda coming out there too, except for maybe single parents,
the state has become the supplier of goods and finances to single parents and
has done for an awful long time. And
none of this happened because of pressure from the bottom, folks. It came from
the top.
It always comes from the top. It suits the
banking system, the international banking system, the big, big system that
really runs the world through its networking and its circles and circles, like
Quigley said. Awfully important to understand it. Because the same group that
the Milner group belong to that became the Royal Institute of International
Affairs / Council on Foreign Relations,
Pacific Rim associations and all the other associations, it’s all the same
group, gave you the United Nations, the World Bank, the Bank for
International Settlements, the International Monetary Fund and a host of other
debt creating systems that profits from the banks that you’ll pay off, they own
them all, and the central banking systems across the world.
Because
money was to be the new military power, the new form of military to control
everybody’s lives. It’s been awfully successful, isn’t it, when you think about it to the
present time. Because when you’re getting some of it, even though it’s all debt
base money people can live a bit better on a
materialistic basis than they’ve ever done before. But again, they’ve been
taught that somehow this candle will never burn down. Although it’s designed
to. Because once the whole world is under the same system in
comes austerity. And just like they’re teaching children today, in school
now, to worship the planet earth and they must
sacrifice for the planet earth, which is another big front organization for
total control of the planet and how you live.
Right down to even if you get born if they need you, eugenics, etc. Because that’s all part of the same system
run by the same group. Always was. And
they’ve got all the time in the world to implement it.
They’re awfully precise now with their
50-year plans and 100-year plans and what they can achieve, and different goals
along the way, all the milestones. They
know exactly what they can do now. And you will see all these things come to
pass. The Brave New World of Aldous
Huxley, that didn’t appear out of thin air, Huxley mixed with all the
eugenicists. He mixed with the class that were the controllers and the
professionals that dealt as controllers on behalf of those who owned the planet
and the finances of the day. He was well aware through many, many discussions from, and growing
up, at the dinner table, etc., that through psychology and training and
behaviorism, and repetition, you could train up and raise the public to believe
and behave in any way that you want them to behave and believe. And that’s exactly what they’ve proven over and over again.
Most people don’t have their own
mind. They have no reason to question things if they are basically materialistically
happy and they’re getting along in life with, as they say, the substitutes for
everything else given to them. But
from the beginning I never came out to talk to the general
public. I just knew there was enough people out
there asking questions who didn’t have the answers. A lot of people, you’ll
find, were punishing themselves. They
couldn’t fit in. They knew lots of
things were wrong in the world. They
didn’t know how to get verification of it and the knowledge of it, and what was
going on. And maybe a lot of them, some
of them were brighter than other people perhaps and if you don’t get the
answers and you’re demanding questions, you might turn in towards yourself and
destroy yourself through either alcohol or drugs or both. And I’m glad
that down through the years people have got in touch with me to say I helped
them get over that track.
It’s very hard to explain to someone
where this thirst comes from, this
thirst, you know. The most important thing in life is, why… why? It’s
never been asked. Or,
you’re given ersatz answers, you’re getting fake answers from the establishment
who crush any alternative facts. I’m not
talking about reasons, I’m talking about facts. And
that’s important to know as well.
Again, if you go into Lord Bertrand
Russell, another Lord, remember. And
folk never question, why are the Lords, would be they
working to create this thing called socialism? Because they don’t have any
affinity for the general public, the common
people. Just like George Bernard Shaw
didn’t. But he had the same attitude as Shaw, and he worked in the same
organizations as Shaw. That the general public would have to come,
everybody individually, to the socialist organizations, run on behalf of the
elite, the elite who should rule you, and
you’d have to justify why they should allow you to stay alive and live in a
socialistic system. George Bernard Shaw said it. His voice is up on video out there, on audio,
if you want to listen to it. That hasn’t changed.
Russell also said that eventually, hopefully, he said, anyone will be able to persuade anyone else of
anything they want. He’s talking about with the right techniques and
power behind them. Well, guess what folks? Look around you today. What’s
getting pushed? Hm? And they have everyone fighting everybody
else. Because you fall for opinions, you
immediately take sides. Rather than say, wait a minute, who’s giving us this? Why are you giving us this? What is the final agenda with this?
It’s too easy by using emotion to get them
all fighting rather than asking. Isn’t it?
Remember too, before I finish off this
talk that you can get the books and discs @CuttingThroughTheMatrix.com. You can also donate to me. You can find out
how to do it if you look into the websites. You’ll see
all the sites I have listed there @CuttingThroughTheMatrix.com, you
should take note of them in case any of them get pulled eventually, you just
never know. Or if I just decide to cut
some out because of the cash problems, everything takes money. And I was never out for money, otherwise I’d
be selling you all kinds of gadgets and gimmicks and so on. Or magic truths. I
could give you lots of the answers to what’s called magic, but I wouldn’t sell
it basically.
Most folk want mysticism as opposed to
facts. It’s much easier to escape from reality that way for folk, rather than
to really go after knowledge. Because if you go after knowledge, then you’re
left with decisions on what you’re going to do in life. And will that mouth of
yours stay silent down the road? Or
won’t it? I’ve said before, and it’s
amazing to hear that the talks I’ve given from even 20 years ago being
reiterated by other people, and even in what’s elevated high places you might
say. I’ve said, remember that you’re the only material, just like the builders
were always talking about, you are
the building material and you’re the only building material that you can be
sure of. Start with yourself instead of
grabbing the latest flag or banner that’s waived in your face for some cause or
another. Start with yourself. Once you’ve
basically built yourself then you see through all the cons that are out there.
Then you can be a more complete person.
And less angry perhaps.
Because you will certainly, if you
follow all the stuff that’s dished out on a daily basis
to you by the marketers, including those who run all the rebel sides of all
kinds, everything out there is either a color revolution or something else on
the go, isn’t it? Once
in a while you have to ask yourself, what are you rebelling against? Who wants you to rebel? Now we have this
sanitized version of it where every country will issue permits for your little
demonstrations and you go and protest whatever it is, hold hands and sing
whatever it is you sing, and then you all go off and have your pizza and
coffees like you’ve done. It’s almost
like a hobby now in some big cities across the world. It really is, isn’t it. It’s a nice hygienic safety
valve for everybody. Because everyone now is being pushed into different
groups that you must belong to. You must belong to something or you’re not
complete, apparently. But again, with a lot of folk
now it’s the only socializing they get. They can’t even talk to each other,
even when they’re standing next to each other, without texting. M-hm.
Anyway, I’m gonna
put up some articles tonight, I was going to prattle on about them actually, but I just wandered off as I always do. One
of them was about the libraries and how the libraries are churning out, and
they have been from the 90s in Canada and elsewhere, you’d see massive book
dumps and garbage dumps of awfully good books as they were, they call it weeding, by the way. Like all organizations today they’re
international, no one in any country in any particular job
profession or anything does it according to that country or culture. They’re
all, they all connect, you see it being done across the world, oh, they’re doing this, let’s do it too. But your culture, your history is often
getting trashed. And along with it, the weeding as they call it, and it’s taught, they call it
weeding, every top librarian knows it too.
And some of the salaries of these librarians in the US blows you over. Really. Honestly. Wherever you get taxpayers money at work, you’re getting plundered, folks.
That’s where the money is these days, isn’t it?
But yeah, the books are getting,
they’ve been getting chucked in the rubbish dumps and the whole bit. There’s a lot of politicization involved in
it, naturally, of things that they simply want to disappear. Tragic. New Zealand’s doing it. Australia does it. Canada’s done a lot of it,
already. Still doing it. The US is just
doing it at an awful rate right now. Quietly from the public. They don’t want
the public knowing about it because you might start
getting complaints about it. I mean, this is public money that bought all these
books, remember. And a lot of them aren’t even selling them off. They’re literally, they want them all
ditched. There’s a lot of stuff now that
must just disappear from history. The memory hole, as George Orwell called it. So I’ll put those links up for those who maybe are curious
to find out, wonder where all the books in the library, and a lot of reference
books too, simply went to. As they give you new
histories all the time. Everything is remade again.

So I’m sorry to
prattle on tonight but as I say, I didn’t mean to go here in the first place.
But once you get started sometimes it just happens. As I say, the main thing is
not to repeat just stories, etc. It’s to do some thinking at times, hopefully
help other people out who are asking questions too. A lot of young folk are, and not just young folk but a lot of folk are
asking the questions. And they’ve been running… I used to compare it to being… the awakening
process, something sometimes stirs you, something might’ve lit the fuse
basically, that starts you off really searching. It’s like coming out of the
tunnel onto a field. And the field is laden with minefields everywhere.
Everywhere you’ve got posts with signs that say, come here, here’s the answer, oh no, it’s over here, here’s the answer. That’s how confusing it is. Often
deliberately so, too.
Because those who control the world,
as you’re trying to break free, they’ll wrap you off into some sideline,
immediately, if they can. There’s nothing in reality that’s there by
chance. Really. Information from the beginning of even writing, or even before
writing but with writing came along, it was used from the beginning with
conformity of thought, with political and control motives behind things, in
many, many areas, not it all, but getting worse and worse, right up until the
invention of newspapers. Now it’s of course, the Internet and television and
newscasts and newscasters. And the newscasters themselves, again, are
corporations, a lot of them, with their big PR companies and the agent, their own agents that negotiate for their pays and all the rest of it... that don’t do anything for free. Nothing is spontaneous, folks. Big
money is behind them all. Big, big money. Millions. And teams of writers at times too. Teams of
them.
So question everything
and start thinking for yourselves. Hopefully. And perhaps like all down through
history, there are always those who are around, a few, who can pass the
knowledge on to the next group, who sometimes have to
go and hide themselves in some generations, because knowledge can be dangerous.
And those who control everything have always known that.
So for myself, Alan
Watt from Ontario Canada, it’s good night and may your God or your gods go with
you.
