Deep Dive
What is the purpose of perpetual war according to Alan Watt?
Perpetual war is a tool for the rich to plunder resources and establish a feudal system where a controlled, drugged population is ruled by a select elite. It's part of a long-term plan to create a socialist society with reduced population and forced austerity.
How does Alan Watt describe the role of Hollywood in creating enemies through fiction?
Hollywood creates fictional enemies, such as 'bad Arabs,' through propaganda movies that defame certain groups, making them appear as threats. This fictional portrayal is then used by governments to justify wars, as the real reasons for conflict are never disclosed.
What does Alan Watt say about the psychological effects of fear on the population?
Fear is deliberately used to disorient and manage the population. Neuroscientists understand that people can become addicted to fear, which is why horror movies and media fear-mongering are effective tools for controlling public perception and behavior.
How does Alan Watt describe the relationship between the U.S. government and the military-industrial complex?
The U.S. government relies heavily on the military-industrial complex to sustain its economy, as the country produces little else. War is seen as essential to keep the system going, even if it means plundering resources and creating enemies through propaganda.
What does Alan Watt say about the treatment of citizens by Homeland Security and TSA?
Homeland Security and TSA treat citizens with increasing harshness and humiliation, as they have no respect for people who accept such degradation. This creates a cycle where citizens are treated worse because they fail to assert their own dignity.
How does Alan Watt explain the use of drugs in the military and police force?
Soldiers and police are often prescribed drugs, including steroids, to make them more aggressive and less empathetic. This creates a more controllable and less thoughtful force, which is useful for maintaining control over the population.
What does Alan Watt say about the Fukushima nuclear disaster and media coverage?
The Fukushima disaster is being downplayed through perception management, where the media is instructed to provide no news at all, allowing the public to forget about it. This is a strategy to avoid panic and maintain control over public understanding.
How does Alan Watt describe the role of fashion in shaping youth behavior?
Fashion is used as a tool to control and shape youth behavior, with trends set by the media and entertainment industry. These trends are not spontaneous but are carefully crafted to influence how young people present themselves and behave.
What does Alan Watt say about the no-fly list in Canada?
The no-fly list in Canada is extremely broad, allowing people to be added simply for knowing someone suspected of terrorist activities. This creates a situation where anyone can be targeted without clear criteria or transparency.
How does Alan Watt describe the push for pharmaceutical drugs to alter behavior?
There is a significant push to develop and use pharmaceuticals to alter behavior, making people more obedient and predictable. This aligns with the goals of governments to create a controlled population that can be easily managed.
