Hi. This is Alan and it is the 11^th of October already 2006 and I'll probably doing more of these "blurbs," as I call them, since it seems my bridge has been burned behind me.

I find a lot of the Christian radio stations, now that they know where I stand, haven't been calling me back and that's okay, because you have to be true to yourself and you can't allow yourself to be used by other people who have their "own agendas," and really that's what a lot of them do. They bring someone on who brings the guests to listen in and they try to have you agree with their particular format or belief system where God's in control and after they terrify the public for half an hour or an hour.

They tell you God's in control and so sit back and let it happen. On the other hand, you have the very New Age type shows which are deliberately set out there probably by the CIA whose job it is to make people live in a fantasy world where nothing is real anymore and don't worry about what's happening in your life or around you or to you even. It doesn't matter. Just try and get out-of-body experiences and let's look for a face on Mars perhaps, et cetera, et cetera.

It gets monotonous in a sense when you have to cater to particular "deliberate agendas." Some of course just want to make money and fascination will always attract people. We all use imagination. That's part of living. Imagination is part of creativity and it's also part of a relaxation, a natural tranquilizer. Whether you're reading a book or in fact just letting your mind ramble into places unknown, that's good for you at times but you can't live in it forever and you can't take it serious a lot of the stuff they're talking about because they're trying to literally disable your conscious mind from being critical in its analysis of what's happening around.

On previous shows I've mentioned a newspaper report that was in most of the American newspapers and it was also in the Boston Globe I think it was. It was by an adviser to President Bush talking to reporters and he says: "We give you your reality" – meaning the think tanks and the advisers that work for them and work for presidents. We give you the reality and that becomes your reality because you write about it. You discuss it and when you've accepted that reality we'll give you another reality and that will become your reality too. I'm paraphrasing it here, but that's basically what he was saying and he was telling a truth because most of the media's announcements today amount to drama for the public. It's drama. It's an ongoing soap opera.

Sure enough, like Brzezinski said, "shortly the public will be unable to reason and think for themselves. All they'll be able to do is to parrot their download from the previous night's news," and he said that years ago and it's happened. It's come to pass.

They give us the scandals. They give us the topics to be concerned about, while the big topics—what the "REAL AGENDA" is—is never ever even come close to on the mainstream media. That's not their job. Their job is to distract you. Shakespeare said it, and he belonged to a certain class, he said, "all the world's a stage and we are but the players," and, of course, he was telling the truth.

Mainstream has ALWAYS BEEN for control purposes, a control factor and it's never changed because mind control works that way. Societal control works by creating cultures, reinforcing the culture, even when you're changing it the public never suspect it's even happening. So they give you all this drama and of course when they're making big changes to their own system, mind you, the big boys give you lots of fear, lots of terror to worry about: coming plagues, global warming, wars abroad.

Everything that could be done by science today they can actually do, but they're terrifying the life out of the public and that keeps them on edge. We sort of neurotically drift through from one phase to the next. It's a standard technique.

This upcoming song pretty well sums it up and that was done many years ago.

Song: "Good News Week" by Hedgehoppers Anonymous

It's good news week,
Someone's dropped a bomb somewhere,
Contaminating atmosphere
And blackening the sky,
It's good news week,
Someone's found a way to give,
The rotting dead a will to live,
Go on and never die.

Have you heard the news?
What did it say?
Who's won that race?
What's the weather like today?

It's good news week,
Families shake the need for gold,
By stimulating birth control,
We're wanting less to eat.

It's good news week,
Doctors finding many ways,
Of wrapping brains in metal trays,
To keep us from the heat.

It's good news week,
Someone's dropped a bomb somewhere,
Contaminating atmosphere
And blackening the sky,
It's good news week,
Someone's found a way to give,
The rotting dead a will to live,
Go on and never die.

Have you heard the news?
What did it say?
Who's won that race?
What's the weather like today?
(What's the weather like today?)

It's good news week,
Families shake the need for gold,
By stimulating birth control,
We're wanting less to eat.

It's good news week,
Doctors finding many ways,
Of wrapping brains in metal trays,
To keep us from the heat.

To keep us from the heat.
To keep us from the heat.

To keep us from the heat.

Alan: Don't look to the future. "The future is here" are some of the lines from another old song and that is so true. The changes from a previous generation into the next are all around us. The massive construction for highways, for NAFTA, they didn't just start recently. They've been going on for years in makeshift projects right down through and past Mexico in fact. All they have to do now is join them up and that's what we're seeing transpire.

It's not us actually who start the movements to try and stop it, because you can't stop something that was planned before you were born, bureaucratically engineered and everything else and all the plans laid out. You can't just stop it once the horse has bolted. It's out of the stable. That's the problem always with these things.

WE'RE THE LAST TO ACTUALLY KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON.

And yet, for those who have been seeking the truth and there's a big difference from seeking the truth and wanting to be right. Those who have been seeking the truth have done their own research. They've found the statements by the players in the past discussing these events, the things that are coming upon us now; the global governments is an old idea, very old.

There's no difference between a fascist or a communist global government. It's one and the same thing. The fascist system was just a form of socialism – a socialistic control of society by an elite; and communism is EXACTLY THE SAME. A planned society is really a better way to describe it. A planned society where just enough people will exist to basically feed the economy to keep it going.

Under the economic rules today, the reason for the economy (although it's always been the same) they've changed "THE LIE."

THE LIE used to be that the economy was there to serve the public, just as the government was supposed to be there to serve the public. It never ever was true and now they're admitting it in courses in university, it's the other way around. THE PUBLIC ARE HERE TO SERVE THE ECONOMY and they don't want inefficiency. They want an organized system, an organized planet where only enough will live to service the economy itself to keep it going, to keep a small elite in power surrounded by technocrats, which basically will be technicians and scientists and so on. So you have a dominant minority serving a dominant elite and a few workers beneath them in this long-range plan.

THIS IS WHAT'S CALLED PROGRESS.

We really have no say in the matter because there's no complaints department for ANY of this—for ANY of it. We were not included in the big meetings back in the 30's, 40's, 50's, and 60's when they discussed global governments, when they discussed with the Royal Institute of International Affairs a European Union under a European Parliament and a Pacific Rim Parliament and an American Parliament.

We were not allowed in you see. The public were distracted with other events in those days. They were doing the hula-hoop and the twist and all this kind of stuff and watching drama on television. That's what their heads were occupied with and of course the almighty sports.

We truly are managed scientifically. RELIGION has ALWAYS been a big part in this and in the book, "Towards a New Civilization, Gorbachev himself talked about the creation of a new religion which would be essential for part of the plan as they go through this. It's a religion which we tend to call the New Age today and it's infiltrated ALL standard religions and into the Christian churches as well. It began years ago where the first step was positive thinking. Just think positive and you'll get what you want, and now they call it "motivational courses," for business et cetera, but it's mixed into all the New Age philosophy.

It doesn't matter which particular New Age philosophy it seems to be because they're all one. They're all paid and sponsored from the top and they all tell you don't dwell on the negative. Don't dwell on the negative because everything is an illusion anyway and it doesn't do any good to dwell on the negative. So when anyone in company tries to speak up and say, "hey, the king has no clothes. We're heading towards hell," they'll turn away on mass because they've been trained to look at the positive side of things and not to listen to negative, to their own detriment of course, because there's never been a better way to get people to shut their brains down and have no defense mechanisms whatsoever.

They've done a fantastic job on the public. Nothing is real and interesting enough all the New Agers have gone through their programs and paid to go through them; and a program of course is like a theater program. It tells you what's coming up step by step. Education is similar to it. Education can be positive or negative depending on the purpose and depending on the outcome. Indoctrination doesn't necessarily mean it's bad. It means to teach a doctrine. See these are the definitions of words and it's the purpose and the outcome which can make it good or bad depending on its purpose.

However, you'll find that people go through different courses to buy their belief systems and it generally caters to the ego. It also gives you for those who have fallen away from their religion they were brought up in which has been cast aside. It's defunct. It's redundant. It doesn't work anymore for them in this particular step or age. They still walk in with the same paradigm into the next religion looking for familiar type answers which are very similar to the ones that they just left. That's what they're looking for. They're looking for a purpose for life. They're looking for the rules and regulations that must go with an order because they're terrified of a life without order. And the one that we've come out of, which was Christianity primarily, is full of rules and regulations and dogma and we think that's natural, but only because we're being brought up in it.

IT'S ACTUALLY FOR SOCIAL CONTROL ALL THOSE RULES AND REGULATIONS WERE GIVEN IN THE FIRST PLACE.

As I say, these spontaneously appearing organizations which taught meditation and techniques of unreality, and how to get into unreality by denying the presence of even the people around you as being real and having to chant mantras about that, also taught the same people that nothing was real, nothing really mattered and don't look at the negative things.

They want to hear something positive all the time and there's nothing new in this, as this old song will tell you.

Song: "Accentuate the Positive" by Bing Crosby and the Andrew Sisters

You've got to accentuate the positive
Eliminate the negative
Latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with Mister In-Between

You've got to spread joy up to the maximum
Bring gloom down to the minimum
Have faith or pandemonium
Liable to walk upon the scene

(To illustrate his last remark
Jonah in the whale, Noah in the ark
What did they do
Just when everything looked so dark?)

Man, they said we better
Accentuate the positive
Eliminate the negative
Latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with Mister In-Between
No, do not mess with Mister In-Between
Do you hear me, hmm?

Alan: This is not to say, however, that personal experience is irrelevant. In fact, it's the opposite. Personal experience as opposed to group experience perhaps is the ultimate because it's all you really have to go by and it doesn't have to fit into the realm or the understanding of anyone else.

It's interesting that the Catholic Church, for instance, for all of its dogma gave out many, many, many truths for individual life and one of them was to do with even a ghost. They didn't attempt to explain a ghost except – and they didn't call it demonic necessarily. They would say that it was the recipient that it was sent to and only the recipient would understand the purpose. It was up to the recipient of the encounter. It wasn't just a happenstance thing, so the paranormal certainly was never ruled out.

The problem with the Catholic Church is it used the paranormal, at least the fear of things primarily through imagination and repetition, to control people as all religions do—including what is the New Age movement. The New Age movement was set up by those at the very, very top of the pyramid of Freemasonry and the magazine was called, "The New Age," and they talked about bringing in a new earth religion which would encompass all the old religions, the ones that had worked under times of totalitarianism in centuries gone by and millennia gone by even. Because that which fascinated humankind thousands of years ago still fascinates them today and because they understand and they have the sciences and the histories of the human populations for thousands of years in archives (the hive of the ark, you might say) as opposed to what they give you, which is a public library.

They understand that those things which fascinate you can always fascinate you and teenagers especially are fascinated by that which they sense mainly as beyond them. It's near them. It's beyond them. It's around them and it's no coincidence that poltergeist activity, for instance, happens primarily with children who are just nearing or going through puberty and then tends to just die off and fade away. Much speculation has gone on to the cause of this.

Is it something to do with the parts of the brain, the silent area, the large part of the brain? –Which supposedly they tell us they cannot find the purpose. That's why it's called the "silent area" but something is triggered during that period. It doesn't matter how many scientists tell you "that's impossible, that kind of thing can't really exist," and sure enough for every one that's true there's probably a few hundred of frauds out there. It doesn't make it any less true to the individual who experiences it.

I personally would love to believe everything is scientific and you must accept that things can be done scientifically in this day and age, and so that cannot be discounted. However, your personal experience of life must also be accepted, for people need meaning.

People are always saying that they want truth, but they don't really want truth. They want something which is familiar. They want a guarantee that if they come into the next step to waking up they'd be guaranteed to be able to handle it and that isn't the case. Not everyone can truly wake up. Many people can wake up to the first step, which is simply understanding what's happening in the world around them and to them and where it's going and they can follow the speeches given by various people down through the last hundred years or so and it all begins to make sense to them, but that's only one level of this whole process.

There are other levels much deeper, which go beyond the media, the news, the meetings and the statements that have been made because there is a real occult side to this. A real hidden side and that's what "occult" means. A hidden side and a hidden religion, which is the only way they've been able to keep a hold of their goals and guide it down through many, many, many centuries from ancient times.

The saying in Freemasonry which is to "perfect that which was left imperfect" is not a new saying. It was said thousands of years ago and what they mean by that is to perfect, number one, "mankind", primarily. Remake man in a better image, not in a haphazard hurried one, scientifically. Purpose made you might say. A designer man for a designed function and everything else in nature would be redesigned and perfected because nature on the one hand is a big obstacle to the elite.

What is true that nature cannot be your friend either. It can and can't. It depends on the time of year and the seasons and where you happen to be and the circumstances you're in at the time. Let's be honest about this.

When we're sitting in a cozy warm house it's very easy to fall into the traps of the propaganda that's put out constantly on all media to do with we've got to love nature. We've got to respect and love it and take care of it. It sounds all wonderful and natural et cetera, but from the earliest of days we've had to fight nature as well.

When you are cold and you're hungry and it's snowing or it’s pouring rain and there's trees falling down with lightening around you, you know nature also has a mind of its own and you are irrelevant in nature's scheme of things when it comes down to it. Just as irrelevant as a deer being brought down by a wolf. Because we're human doesn’t make any difference to nature. Nature has been studied tremendously and through the secrets of nature, the sciences—that's what they mean by the secrets of nature—they decided a long time ago to first understand it and then change it; and like everything else in this particular religion that runs everything, they will control it.

THEY WANT TO CONTROL NATURE. Everything that's happening today in every sphere is about "planned control."

The control freaks are here indeed and they have no tolerance for differing points of view on anything which is given out as being politically correct at the time.

In fact, they would try and squash a square peg into a round hole rather than just admit they're wrong. That won't happen. We saw that in the Soviet Union when they found people who just didn't fit into the Soviet System whose thoughts were not molded along the Soviet agenda. Who didn't parrot the proper phrases automatically and force themselves to believe it and those people were punished severely because ideology is a tremendous, tremendous enemy of humankind. Ideology is a terrifying thing in all ages. Ideology is the destroyer.

In this world you must have differences. I've met people who will have what I think are friendly arguments with and then when you want to say well we'll leave it at that. We can agree to differ and go home thinking no more about it, only to find out they can't. They can't stop. Their job to them is to make you agree with them, and I have met people down through my life like that and that means potentially they're a control freak.

The ones at the top have the same traits of many of those at the bottom. It's a human trait of many people. Not all, but many people. You have to accept the differences in society to have peace. It must be that way. Otherwise, it's uniform, there is no free thought, there's no free opinion on anything, there isn't even a free discussion on anything because people will simply gang up on you and kill you for being different, and this is a sad statement on society.

You know religion is full of very, very true allegories. That's why we're given them and the bringer of bad news, for instance, is often killed by the mob who demanded to hear it in the first place. That's partly true of what's happening to me at the moment as well. I don't teach people who aren't certain or at least I'm not certain of who want to be woken up.

What they really want is the truth they've already decided upon. In other words, they want to tell you what they already believe. That isn't seeking truth whatsoever and if you veer off from where they want you to go—in other words, you're not giving them the answers they want to hear—they will turn on you and that's why traditionally down through all religions all the bringers of truth or messiahs or whoever, call them what you want, the mob that followed them at one point are the same mob that jeer them when they're drying.

Those people are called "the profane," those in the darkness. Why are they in the darkness? Because they want to be there. They would only move to the darkness to somewhere else if they had a guarantee that it would already fit their existing paradigm, their idea of what it should be like.

When people ask me how do I wake up, how do I go further, I don't given them a one-size fits all answer. You have to first be sure the person is serious. You have to get inside their head space to find out where they are at in their head space. How much do they truly understand? What are they capable of understanding? What are they willing to give up in order to understand? And most truly are not willing to give up many, many of their pet beliefs, so you're back to square one. They're not looking for truth at all. They're looking for a guarantee. They're looking for someone to say, "there, there, don't worry. It's going to be all right for you."

Others think they can buy truth and so they go into organizations where the program—and I use the word program because they're given the program. This is what you're going to be taught: this stage, that stage and so on and so on, and they pay to be programmed; and I say program as a neutral term. It depends on the intent and the end product of it. It's just like education; it can be either one too.

People pay to be programmed and really what they've done is picked the religion they've already believed, it's the one they've already decided upon, so they could go "religion shopping," and the New Age movement has more books put out in the last 30 years than maybe all the books on Christianity and that takes some beating. Every week there's a new fad. A new super talker who says super things, which is all the rehash of the old stuff, really, and they're pulling either the usual stuff. It's either astronomy, astrology, tarot cards, tea cup reading, that's not really trendy today because it's too vague for people, and right down to even using pendulums.

There are people who went through the pendulum period of the New Age who cannot make a decision without swinging a pendulum to find out if it's the way they're supposed to go. This is madness. It's madness, but people today are so terrified of everything. They want something else to reassure them that it's going to be all right, without being willing to work on themselves.

THE NEW AGE MOVEMENT DOESN'T ENCOURAGE YOU TO LOOK AT YOURSELF ON A DAILY BASIS.

What it does is train you to ignore all those around you because you and yourself – you're really a good person. In fact, you're all that matters. For any truth, any high truth that's ever come to people has come on self-reflection because you can't change those around you by making it so, but you can sure work on yourself. You are the material and you can work on yourself and that is a place a lot of people do not want to go.

SELF-REFLECTION IS WHAT BRINGS YOU TO DIFFERENT LEVELS OF UNDERSTANDING.

Those who can't understand the teaching or take it or are willing to follow through in it will turn against the teacher. That's standard. That is standard all down through time.

In the movie "The Matrix", Morpheus only promised Neo the truth. That's all. He didn't offer him a comfortable answer, a comfortable explanation, a comfortable ending to anything, but domesticated people in this what is called "civilization" where we've been trained from birth to be managed to accept we're being managed – and that a more recent phenomena really. At least, more openly in its manifestation.

We're taught that we're being well managed but people want guarantees to be well managed no matter what head space they get into, what understandings they get into. They want to be reassured that there's no suffering involved. No pain. People are ego-syntonic. They want to avoid pain and seek pleasure. That has been taught steadily since the 1950's onwards. This is a great way to control people, because only through waking up and looking around and taking the pain are you able to perceive what's going on.

Culture creation is so well understood and always has been where any reality can be given to the public. The hard part is starting it off really (from scratch, that is). Once it's on the go you simply change it as you go along; and as Plato said, the generation that experiences the changes where opposite values are given, they're the last ones to notice. It's empirical truths you see. These have been tested over and over again.

Right can become wrong. Wrong can become right and the public who walk hypnotically down through their lives never notice and ask the questions as to the whys. It just doesn't happen. People know what they want because they know what other people want. That is the mind of the mass. They don't want to be different and if there's a new fad tomorrow and all the in-people, the in-crowd rushed off to it, everyone else would follow suit because they don't want to be different. They want to be the same.

It's a sad statement to make, but it's a true statement you see. Culture is full of fetishes that are given to the people and they fetish over them you might say. All of this has been done over and over and over again, tried and tested like a laboratory, like a clinical laboratory where everything is observed and repeated over and over again. Culture is the easiest thing to create and the public are downloaded and accept it so readily.

Most of the reality we live in, in the true sense of the word an "illusion," as opposed to the New Age meaning "of illusion," most of the culture is an illusion. Most of what's happening is illusion. An illusion is a distortion of something which is real, like a reflection off a mirror with the sunlight striking it. It can create an illusion in a room. It's real, but it’s not the primary cause; as opposed to a hallucination where nothing is there and you actually see something. That's the difference.

In the New Age movement, an "illusion" really is more akin to the term "hallucination." They try to tell the people that nothing is real at all and they train them to believe this and they pay money to be taught this.

Song: "Strawberry Fields" by the Beatles

Let me take you down, 'cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields.
Nothing is real and nothing to get hung about.
Strawberry Fields forever.

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see.
It's getting hard to be someone but it all works out, it doesn't matter much to me.
Let me take you down, 'cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields.
Nothing is real and nothing to get hung about.
Strawberry Fields forever.

No one I think is in my tree, I mean it must be high or low.
That is you can't you know tune in but it's all right, that is I think it's not too bad.
Let me take you down, 'cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields.
Nothing is real and nothing to get hung about.
Strawberry Fields forever.

Alan: And it works well for the ultra-terrified because they can't handle reality anyway. They'd prefer if someone tells them, "there, there, don't worry, nothing is real anyway." It's very soothing if you want to live in an oblivious psychosis and life has become terrifying for many people. Again, that's part of the System.

Aldous Huxley in his speech at Berkeley (which you can see on this website and listen to) describes that process. He said: "Most people are not happy anyway." Well he should know because he was part of a ruling elite in his day and age and he was descended from families who specialized in creating the kind of societies they lived in. They created the fear, the terror, the poverty, the worry, the unnaturalness of it all.

Sure, you could say quite confidently that most people were "unhappy" because they were living in an "unnatural lifestyle". They actually lived in a fixed type of economy in Britain and in other parts of Europe where it was so well perfected with the monied system and the governing system and through census taking.

They knew what everybody earned pretty well on average. They knew how much you needed to live and pay rent and most people paid rent in those days back in the 60's and 70's in Britain and in most parts of Europe. They knew how much it would cost to feed and keep a family of perhaps two at the most and the people just couldn't get ahead at all. And credit was not thrown at them like the credit cards are thrown at people today.

People scurried and worried about basic things, the necessities of life, not so long ago. That was their main worry, the "necessities." Now they fret over things they want but don't really need because they've been taught to reward themselves at the end of every month. That's your reward for going through your boring life. Trained like animals you see.

Getting back to the question of "what is reality?" "What should reality be?" "What defines a reality?"

Before you can even start that journey, you truly have to reflect upon all of those things that's happened in your own life, your own experiences and I mean critically. You can't whitewash events in your own life where you haven't been too proud of what you've done, said, whatever, because we affect everyone around us as we go through life. Everyone does.

The odd little statement just stopping at a store in a hurry and not saying "hello" one particular day to someone can have consequences upon them because maybe they needed that little hello that particular day; and yet we can't go neurotically through life worrying about it all the time, but it's amazing how many people we do affect on a daily basis. This doesn't mean we have to go through life and pamper people as well to keep the peace.

THE TRUTH MUST ALWAYS BE SAID. Otherwise, someone is controlling someone else. And people shouldn't be offended with differences of opinion and people should neither be dogmatic about it, either, because that's down to a battle of wills then, of ego.

PEOPLE WHO HAVE TO BE RIGHT rather than SEEK TRUTH ARE NOT AFTER THE TRUTH AT ALL, obviously.

The journey for personal meaning can be a long one and it's ongoing and every time you come through one understanding you realize that there's more to go. It's like getting to the top of a mountain, only to see a higher one beyond it and sometimes you go into those valleys and you say, "my God, nothing's happening. I'm static. My mind isn't working properly. Nothing is coming to me."

Where in reality you're dissecting all the knowledge you've acquired up until that point and you have to truly savor it minutely and when that's done, suddenly you're going up the tracks to the next mountain. That's how it happens. It does not mean that every experience that you have is going to be the same for everyone else, and neither could you ever promise that to them because many people cannot go where you have gone.

Andrew Lloyd Webber perhaps unknowingly wrote a song for "Evita" the musical and in the song he's really describing where people are. The people that you think are confident around you who seem to have it all because people pretend in life. They don't want to admit they're hurting at all. We put on a façade to people and because we can't be real to people then we don't get anywhere in the CHANGES that MUST be made. We allow those who seem confident to rule over those who are not quite sure and then you end up always in tyranny because psychopaths take over.

I leave you tonight with this ad-lib talk as always, there's nothing prepared, with the song written by Andrew Lloyd Webber. Good night.

Song: "Another Suitcase"

I don't expect my love affairs to last for long
Never fool myself that my dreams will come true
Being used to trouble I anticipate it
But all the same I hate it -- wouldn't you?

So what happens now?
       Another suitcase in another hall
So what happens now?
       Take your picture off another wall
Where am I going to?
       You'll get by, you always have before
Where am I going to?

Time and time again I've said that I don't care
That I'm immune to gloom, that I'm hard through and through
But every time it matters all my words desert me
So anyone can hurt me -- and they do

So what happens now?
       Another suitcase in another hall
So what happens now?
       Take your picture off another wall
Where am I going to?
       You'll get by you always have before
Where am I going to?

Call in three months time and I'll be fine I know
Well maybe not that fine, but I'll survive anyhow
I won't recall the names and places of each sad occasion
But that's no consolation -- here and now
