The Real World > COINTELPRO and Disinformation
Is Alan Watt Credible?
wilecoyote:
There is a new guy on the conspiracy theory circuit, and he is debunking Icke and references to the Lizzies claiming disinformation. Is he also an agent of disinformation, knowing the way the PTB operate. By playing 2 ends of the spectrum, Icke the extremist and Watt the conservative.....
Could this be direct disinformation or manipulation?

Well, I just read the transcript of his most recent interview on Coast to Coast... (now THAT's a whole other subject!) and I have to say that he says a lot of credible things, but then he mixes it with a lot of garbage and gross misunderstanding. But that's typical. Coast to Coast is a disinfo organ after all...
That's not to say that everyone that appears on Coast to Coast - or the companion show, Jeff Rense - is disinfo. Not at all. But generally, the "good folks" they have on are just simply not talking about the subjects that they wish to vector. In this way, they create an "aura of credibility" because they DO have good and sincere and legitimate people on their shows. Just not anyone working on anything that they wish to help suppress.
PopHistorian:
I read the "January 25, 2006 Sweet Liberty" rant. Wow, quite interesting, though frustratingly scattered, which I guess fits in with his "non-linear" (as he calls it) approach to thinking. He must've touched a hundred subjects, offering depth on none. I could sense his mind racing. Like someone who appears insane because he's glimpsed the truth and is overwhelmed. I agree, good points, some rubbish, but I didn't note any real direction or suggestion regarding what to do about all this control we're under, this mess we're in. The piece has an almost-mad, raving flavor to it with a streak of helplessness. The effect on readers, I would guess, if not outright numbing, might be to spin them off into myriad directions, depending on what they might be interested in actually trying to verify. Perhaps that's just the nature of ad-libbed monologue, though. That was my take, anyway.

I also discovered Alan Watt recently, but I think he has been around for a while. He claims that a lot of conspiracy researchers (such as icke) have ripped material off from him for years. He also claims Icke is a conscious agent of a London-based new-age disinfo operation that sends out operatives to spread their propaganda throughout the world (and that Alister Crowley was part of the same group). Which I personally find pretty doubtful.
I actually found a lot of his stuff very interesting, although some of the connections and explanations for things he gives seem like he's just used his imagination to put the pieces together in the only way he can see them possibly working.
An interesting point about him though is that he is also pushing the psychopath angle of things with regards to the PTB.
Iconoclast:
i came across alan watt recently, too and i agree with the sentiments here - some of his stuff is very interesting and other things are just all over the map.
i like listening to podcasts on my way to work so i downloaded his appearance on rbnlive.com (The Rick Adams Show) from july 7th.
i've never listened to rbnlive.com before and i found the host to be a carbon copy of the types that pollute the alternative talk-circuit. anyone calling himself the 'paul revere of [alternative radio]' or 'the radio avenger' sends up all kinds of warning flags with me.
at about 2/3 through the program a caller came on who tried to make watt sum up his beliefs and complaining that he was hard to pin down. then the subject turned to evil and sociopathy.
watts said that 'henderson and gillespie' (sp?) identified a new kind of psychopath in the late 1800's - early 1900's and they found out that the most successful psychopaths were actually the leaders of our economy.
the caller said (approvingly): here we go...
and then the host went to commercial.
when they came back, the caller was still on but the conversation didn't quite continue on the psychopathy subject.
i don't think anything was edited, but the host seemed to steer the talk away from the subject.
i found that quite interesting.
RBN seems to be obvious COINTELPRO, but i'm still on the fence about alan watt.
if he is legit, i wonder why he keeps going on these kinds of shows.
the show then disintegrated to a 'jesus-freak show' with a couple of disturbed (IMHO) people calling in, talking about jesus and scripture and whatnot and the host showed his true colors and disqualified himself completely in my eyes. (by agreeing on several points that were just ludicrous)
