God Wants You to Be Rich...Or Thin...Or God!

On 6 November 2026, Paul Mackenzie was sentenced to 200 years in prison. Mackenzie is described as a Kenyan cult leader, and the sentence he received was for his conviction of the murders of 191 people. Two dozen others were convicted along with Mackenzie. All but one of the victims were children. According to Mackenzie, the world was going to end in 2023 and followers needed to fast to reach heaven. First, the children must starve, then young people and women, while the men needed to stay alive long enough to bury the bodies. Do not seek logic or ask questions like “Who buries the buriers?”

So far, more than four hundred bodies have been discovered, and it is expected that more charges will be filed. Starvation was not the only cause of death. Some victims were strangled, suffocated, or suffered head injuries. Several of those convicted showed no remorse and Mackenzie was described as ‘smiling’ several times during the sentencing. Those who died were said to be ‘married to Jesus’ or ‘heroes of faith.’ Paul Mackenzie convinced his followers that he could speak directly to God and personally communicate with Him. He reportedly claimed to be guided by the ‘voice of Christ’ during his sermons and was believed by his congregation to be ‘Jesus’s mouthpiece.’

Last week, I watched a multi-episode documentary on HBO Max from 2021/2022 entitled The Way Down which followed the life of Gwen Shamblin Lara, a dietician who in 1986 founded a diet program, The Weigh Down, headquartered in Franklin, Tennessee. Her diet program is best called intuitive eating: don’t eat when you are not hungry. By the late 1990s, there were Weigh Down classes offered in every state, in Canada, Great Britain, and Europe, and the program had more than 30,000 locations. In 1998, she was featured on Larry King Live. In 1999, Gwen started a church, the Remnant Fellowship. According to former members who spoke on the HBO docuseries, Gwen Shamblin Lara claimed that God spoke directly to her. She taught that she was the ‘voice from God’ and the sole prophet receiving divine revelations.

In May of 2021, Gwen, her second husband Joe Lara (you might remember him playing a version of Tarzan back in 1989, and again in the late 1990s), and five elders of the Remnant Fellowship, including her son-in-law, were killed when their Cessna C501 went down. Obviously, the C501 is not the non-profit categorization that many churches receive, the 501(c)(3), a tax exemption which helps frugal ministries save for private jets and mansions. The crash was determined to have been caused by pilot error resulting from spatial disorientation called somatogravic illusion. Lara was rated to fly with instruments only, but instructors who had flown with him said he struggled when forced to fly ‘instruments only’ in low visibility. “Mr. Lara could not visualize in his mind where the airplane was in time/space unless he saw it on his iPad.” On this fateful May day, Joe Lara was flying through thick clouds.

They were on their way to Florida for a “We the People: Patriots’ Day Rally” in Martin County, Florida (near Palm Beach). The event was organized by Women Fighting for America and featured pro-Trump speakers, including political operative Roger Stone. Gwen Shamblin Lara was a financial sponsor of the rally.

In February 2020, Roger Stone was convicted of witness tampering, obstruction, and lying to Congress, but Donald Trump commuted his sentence just days before he was due to report to federal prison, and Trump gave Stone a full pardon in December of 2020. If you are curious about the private lives of Washington D.C.’s Swamp Creatures, I’ve got a headline for you, “‘Seeking similar couples or exceptional muscular well-hung single men.’ Inside Roger Stone's swinging marriage where he posted ads online and frequented notorious sex clubs with his ‘insatiable’ wife.” Jerry Oppenheimer, writing for the Daily Mail in 2019, described the club as “home to one big orgy with sex acts openly taking place on the dance floor, in back rooms, and even the bar, with porn running on TV sets,” and said the club was frequented by Donald Trump.

Let me stress that Women Fighting for America, founded by Christie Hutcherson, described by the Southern Poverty Law Center as a ‘Conspiracy Propagandist hate group’ is a completely separate organization from Moms for Liberty, co-founded by Bridget Ziegler, which promotes Christian family values and parental rights. Bridget’s husband Christian Ziegler was the Chairman of the Florida Republican Party until allegations of rape and sexual assault were made against him in late 2023. The state investigated allegations of sexual assault and video voyeurism but declined to pursue the case without pressing charges due to insufficient evidence. Bridget admitted to having a threesome with her husband and another woman. The Zieglers have filed a lawsuit against the state of Florida for alleged violations of their constitutional rights.

The SPLC badge of ‘hate group’ does not invalidate the truth spoken by Christie Hutcherson from Women Fighting for America. She could see the wreck of her country. These are her words from the eve of the Capital event in January of 2021. “We’re either going to go down the line of Marxism, communism, chaos, destruction, defunding the police, or we are going to go down a road where we are founded in the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, safety and security, pro-police, pro-gun, pro-Christianity (and) pro-God back in schools.”

The Gwen Shamblin Lara story could be seen as a family tragedy; a woman who started to believe her own press and felt the need to stay pencil thin for Jesus, whose children suffered. Her daughter, Elizabeth Kaufmann (formerly Elizabeth Shamblin Hannah), lost her mother and her husband in that plane crash. The church received none of Gwen’s millions. Instead, it went to her children Elizabeth and Michael. Elizabeth was assumed to be the ordained heir to the ministry. She too was pencil thin. Michael struggled with his weight, left and returned to the church many times. While Elizabeth has not called herself a prophet, she has said, “If you followed my mother, follow me as I followed her.” Elizabeth is now dangerously thin, and the Remnant Fellowship is thriving.

It could be seen as a family tragedy, but many former members have described it as a cult, Gwen as ‘evil,’ ‘controlling,’ and ‘power mad.’ Along the way, in 2003, eight-year-old church member, Josef Smith was beaten to death by his parents, Joseph and Sonya Smith, who were convicted of his death, despite claiming it was an accident. During their trial, it was revealed that Josef was locked in a box and beaten with glue sticks that ‘hurt and sting but don’t leave marks.’ The church and Gwen Shamblin stood by the Smiths and helped fund their defense. Gwen Shamblin said she hadn’t advocated glue sticks as punishment but didn’t think there was anything wrong with it.

Love Has Won is a new religious movement that was known as the Galactic Federation of Light in its early days. It was led by Amy Carlson until her death in 2021. Her followers called her Mother God. Carlson called herself the Creator of the Universe. Her concepts were mostly New Age with a smattering of ideas from Abrahamic religions, conspiracy theories, and popular CULT-ure. Amy Carlson told her followers that she was Donald Trump’s daughter in a past life, and in various incarnations she had been Jesus, Cleopatra, Joan of Arc, Helena Blavatsky, and Marilyn Monroe. Amy Carlson was born in Kansas, raised by a single mother, had three children by three different men, and worked as a manager at McDonalds. In the early 2000s, she began spending a lot of time online researching New Age and ‘interplanetary’ ideas, and after someone in a forum named Amerith WhiteEagle told her she was divine, she claimed she began experiencing paranormal phenomena. A voice told her that she would become President of the United States. In 2007, she left her children with her mother (and their respective fathers), joined WhiteEagle, and in 2009, they began making videos as Mother and Father God. In 2014, she gained her first real follower, Miguel Lamboy. He became the group’s manager and the handler of finances. Under his supervision, live streaming and product sales took off. WhiteEagle was discarded and there followed a succession of ‘Father Gods.’

Mother God loved alcohol, sex, marijuana, psilocybin mushrooms, and other drugs. ‘It’s all good if it’s done with the right intention.’ Non-stop partying characterized life with Mother God and most of the Father Gods. One Father God broke away from the group. Andrew-Ryan Profaci served as her IT expert, the marketing brains, and before long, became the new Father God. He was at the compound for ten months before leaving in 2015, and in the documentary about this cult, Love Has Won: The Cult of Mother God, he described a woman who drank until she passed out, every day. He tried to convince her that she was not actually God; he said a couple of times, he thought he had broken through to her, but he only dented her delusion for a few minutes. She quickly returned to her conviction that she was Mother God, the Creator of the Universe. Amy Carlson believed she was in direct communication with divine entities, including a council of “Galactics” composed of deceased celebrities including Robin Williams and Tupac Shakur, who she claimed advised her.

In the last several years of Amy’s life, her health declined. She lost weight and was paralyzed from her waist down. Her mother and sister saw one of her live streams and called her, telling her that she should come home. What followed was just one more sad installment in Amy’s life, and more damning, an indictment of how fractured America’s culture is. When Amy said she would not return home, her mother approached the Dr. Phil show. On the documentary Amy’s mother said, “He was our last hope.” Naturally, the producers of the Dr. Phil show just made another insensitive and ratings-greedy episode out of Amy’s suffering.

At the time of Amy Carlson’s death at the age of forty-five, in April of 2021, she weighed 75 pounds, was unable to walk, and her skin was silver blue from consuming large amounts of colloidal silver. One online report said that she was last seen alive on April 10 and placed her death occurring on April 16. Members of Love Has Won moved the deceased Amy from a hotel room in California and drove across several states before reaching their old headquarters in Colorado. The ‘inner circle’ members decorated her bed with Christmas lights and flowers, videoed EMF readings to show that the body was still ‘active’ and talked about how Mother had ‘ascended.’

Miguel Lamboy (on whose home the group had descended with Mother’s already dead body) finally went to the police on the 28^th of April; the police found a blue and mummified body. The time between her death and the discovery of her body by police is an estimate, and online versions conflict with Saguache County Coroner, Tom Perrin’s report. He initially stated that she had been deceased “a couple of weeks or more,” but later revised his statement to “four weeks or longer.” Captain Ken Wilson at the Sheriff’s office said, “several weeks to a month.” Her eyes had not been forcibly removed but had disintegrated due to the decomposition of the body. The coroner’s report stated that “multicolored, glittery eye shadow” was used to paint her eyes, and a New York Magazine profile described “brightly colored blue and green glitter” on the eye socket area used as part of the display of the corpse.

Her cause of death was described as a ‘global decline.’ Contributing factors were alcoholism, anorexia, and chronic colloidal silver ingestion. The latest Father God was arrested along with other cult members, who later asserted that Amboy may have embezzled as much as a million dollars over the years. However, at the time of the arrest, several members had agreed upon an interesting amount that was missing at that time: $330,000.

Looking at some murders that have clouded the Exclusive Brethren, I was reminded that Aleister Crowley was a member of this group before leaving to become an occultist. Crowley confessed to working for British intelligence, a fact corroborated by declassified U.S. Army Military Intelligence Division files. The ‘Exclusive’ Brethren broke from the Plymouth Brethren; this group is deserving of an essay or two as co-founder John Nelson Darby was the father of modern dispensationalism (which leads directly to Christian Zionism) and a popularizer of pre-tribulation rapture theology.

In studying cults and the culture of religion, I am revisiting a book by Barbara Ehrenreich, Bright-Sided: How the Relentless Promotion of Positive Thinking has Undermined America. This is a fascinating critique of ideas that have been embedded into the American psyche. In a chapter entitled “God Wants You to Be Rich,” Ehrenreich drew a direct line from the fire-and-brimstone of Calvinism to the revival of the Christian right. She also showed how ‘hell and damnation’ is pitted against the prosperity gospel and a God who ‘wants to prosper you.’ This is a God who wants you to have wealth and material abundance. Preachers model the amazing life you can have if you ‘get right with God.’ Mansions, planes, vacations in exotic places. Not working for you? Try harder. Tithe more. Eat less.

Japan’s Aum Shinrikyo was responsible for the 1995 Tokyo subway sarin gas attack that killed thirteen people, and injured thousands. Founded by Shoko Asahara, Aum Shinrikyo was a blend of apocalyptic beliefs and secular extremism, drawn from Buddhism, Hinduism, Christian millennialism and the prophecies of Nostradamus.

Not all cults are religious in nature. There are political cults. The Larouche Movement has been described as a cult. Lyndon Larouche was a conspiratorial and charismatic leader who started out as a Marxist, and then re-shaped his theories with Ayn Rand capitalism, populism, and Rockefeller conspiracies. By the 1970s, he was recruiting street gang members and training them in guerilla warfare. Scratch the surface of a Larouchian today and you’ll find ‘China good. China very good.’

NXIVM – multi-level marketing and Keith Raniere’s teachings known as Rational Inquiry. It has been described as a pyramid scheme, a sex-trafficking operation, and a sex cult. Co-founder Nancy Salzman spent two years in prison and was released in March 2024. Clare Bronfman and her sister Sara Bronfman became involved with NXIVM via the Executive Success Program. Clare would eventually spend $150 million on NXIVM. At one point, the sisters got their father Edgar Bronfman Sr. involved, but when Clare disclosed that she had loaned Raniere and Salzman $2 million, he withdrew from NXIVM and labeled it a cult. Clare installed keylogger software on her father’s computer, and for years, NXIVM members had access to his emails. Clare did prison time and was released in 2024.

Edgar Bronfman Sr. was a Canadian-American businessman who worked for his family’s liquor empire, Seagram, eventually becoming the CEO. He was also President of the World Jewish Congress from 1979 until 2007.

The WJC is currently run by Ronald Lauder whose mineral interests in Greenland gave him incentive to push Donald Trump to ‘acquire’ that territory. Trump recently appointed Lauder’s son-in-law Kevin Warsh to chair the Federal Reserve.

NXIVM’s Keith Ranier received 120 years in prison. He is serving that time at the Federal Correctional Complex, Butner, North Carolina, which is where Ponzi scheme mastermind Bernie Madoff died in April of 2021. Small world.

Can’t leave the Manson Family off this list. Helter Skelter: Charles Manson’s apocalyptic race war theory. If you think that cults are grass roots gatherings of disaffected misfits, read Tom O’Neill’s Chaos: Charles Manson, the CIA, & Secret History of the Sixties.

Most recently we were given QAnon. Before I continue, I would like to state that all those Americans who believed in Q and followed this movement sincerely are not unbalanced lunatics as the mainstream media characterized them. Q Believers that I’ve talked to are loyal Americans. They love their country, they love God, they are distressed by the state of the nation they grew up loving and serving. They wonder how Drag Queen Story Hour has come to a library near them.

There was no ‘type’ that followed Q. There were white evangelicals, Hispanic Protestants, and during Covid, they were anti-lockdown and anti-vaccine activists. Whatever the mainstream media told us about far-right extremists and neo-Nazis that comprised the QAnon movement, my own observations showed me decent, taxpaying citizens who looked around and said, “What the hell?”

Q quit posting in 2022. It began in 2017, was seeded on 4chan and Reddit, picked up and given major coverage by InfoWars and The Vigilant Citizen, among other outlets. It is possible that some people who reported on Q were also true believers who innocently provided coverage of Q ‘drops.’ Q’s revelations were discussed by Michael Flynn, Roger Stone, Marjorie Taylor Green, Alex Jones, Mike Cernovich, Jack Posobiec, and Canada’s Amazing Polly. Roseanne Barr, Sean Hannity and Tucker Carlson pushed QAnon-adjacent ideas to a wider audience and Donald Trump openly supported QAnon-aligned candidates and sentiments.

In the UK, someone who brought his intellectual chops to the fight, defending QAnon as a ‘real’ movement, not a conspiracy theory, not a cult, not a Deep State intelligence operation, but an ‘exposer’ of the Deep State, was Martin Geddes, who contributed to journalist Michael Knight’s 2019 book, Qanon And The Great Awakening. Is this the same Michael Knight who wrote President Trump and The New World Order: The Ramtha Prophecy? The description of that book and its author: “The enigma known as Ramtha predicted in December 2016 that Donald Trump' would look out the window of his plane and see he was being escorted by UFOs. This prophecy was fulfilled when Trump was being flown from New York to his inauguration, and it was caught on camera by a Fox 10 news crew. This book reveals the fact that President Trump has ‘friends in high places,’ with details of other prophecies that have yet to occur. Using his 60-year background as an objective reporter, researcher and author, Michael Knight brings you an objective overview of what amounts to a silent war between the Deep State (Globalists) and the man who promised to ‘drain the swamp’ of its corruption and secret ambition to establish a New World Order.”

David Icke denounced QAnon as a psyop, a tool of the Babylonian Brotherhood to keep people in a state of fear and confusion. Icke posits that Archons which are inter-dimensional, non-physical entities or a form of advanced artificial intelligence, hijacked Earth to trap human consciousness in a holographic simulation. The Archons’ endgame is to assimilate humanity in an AI-controlled hive mind. I don’t know about you, but I’m not sure that the Archon plot is less ‘fear and confusion’ inducing than QAnon.

I anticipate that this is the first in a series on cults and culture that I will cover over time. Perhaps some of these instalments will be in video form. There is much to say because we find ourselves CULTurally CONtaminated, living in CULTures which are CULTivated for us by masters of the ancient mystery religions, the mystery CULTS.

Beginning last week and continuing at the rate of two or three shows weekly, Alan Watt’s RBN talks will be posted on the CTTM video channels, starting with Alan’s first RBN talk on August 20, 2007. Listening to them in order allows us to see how he presented his understanding of ancient history and culture creation to a mostly new audience. Some of those listeners who had been following Alan’s work understood that what Alan had been saying on different shows had shocked the predominantly Christian audience that listened to shortwave and ‘patriot’ radio. He understood the support religions provided to cultures and communities, and though he explained who created those ‘supports’ and why, on several occasions he said, ‘Don’t throw the baby (connection to Source/Creator/Spirit/God) out with the bathwater (religion).’

Pertinent to this essay, here are some Alan Watt quotes from the first few RBN episodes where he discusses culture creation, religion, and the importance of thinking for yourself.

RBN 1 from August 20, 2007, “SENTIENCE IN THE BALANCE - TREASURE OR TRASH? - YOUR CHOICE.”

“In the following shows I hope to go through some of the histories and some of the religions going from very, very early times which transformed us all, generation by generation up to the present point, and so the new religion, which is pretty well almost here, is a form of state worship. A form of state worship also based on earth worship, which really is one in the same thing for the elite. As long as we believe it, then we will do and believe whatever they tell us. This can only be done with one or two generations. Once that’s done, you'll see children happily volunteering to be sterilized to save Gaia, Mother Earth.

Now this has been written about by people involved in high think tanks, think tanks which plan your world. They plan your reality and they market it into your head through magazines, television and they make sure you’re all indoctrinated in the same schooling, and that way everyone will believe the earth is flat if they say so. People can be made to believe anything unfortunately, and that is the problem…

They call it “The Changing of the Age.” They plan the world in ages. Two thousand years ago, one age ended, another began. Now Aquarius is coming in and Pisces goes out. That’s what they mean by that. That’s what George Bush, Sr. meant when he said “everything was going to the heavenly plan” because they use the zodiac like a time clock in the high secret societies that are not so secret anymore…

Nothing phenomenal about it at all. It's a system. A complete entire system, which I call the Matrix. The Matrix comes from the mother, from matter, the world of matter we’re born into, because this world is a battle all the time between forces – forces of spirit versus forces of matter…

We’re living in a time when humanity as we know it literally is in the balance. It’s a time where we make the decisions ourselves whether to acquiesce to giving up everything for humanity, our ability to live our own lives and choose our own directions; or to simply hand it over to a small elite who believe they’ve got it in the bag. That’s what we’re living through right now is an incredible time of changes. Changes which you can participate in if you want to. If you can get through all the various groups that are out there which will mislead you, because the big boys tend to think of everything.

You must be your own person in this and decide what is important to you in this highly dysfunctional later society we live in, where most people can’t even get on with each other on an individual basis. We have to overcome that and decide, do we want to go down quietly or do we at least go out with a bang rather than a whimper. That’s where we are today; and yet, knowing what’s going on, after you transcend all the worry, it gives you a form of peace because everything makes sense to you for the first time. You don’t get it from the mainstream media. Their job is to keep you off balance and worried and make you want to save this particular system, even though the elite themselves decided they’re changing their system. See, they own this system completely. We don’t. You accept it simply because you think it’s normal. It exists.”

RBN 2, Aug. 22, 2007 “SUMER TO 21st CENTURY SCHMUCKDOM”

“We’re being programmed our whole lives for an event or a series of events which were planned before we were even born, because this is good shepherding. It’s good management for governments. We’ve never really had what we thought of as a democracy…

There’s been a war on the last society for many years, your whole life, as they destroy the family unit which they kept together through religion. That was also their old system. Now they don’t need it anymore. It’s a problem so they’re destroying it and now everyone is isolated from everyone else. Everyone becomes a shark upon everyone else because we live in a predatory society with the top predators at the top…

We’ve got to restart thinking for ourselves and see through all of these cons, whether you’re serving the CON or con-servative or another CON that you want to believe in. Whatever you’re given in religion or anything else, is just that. It’s given to you as a choice between this, this, or perhaps even a third one, and you adopt it without thinking because your beliefs are induced beliefs.”

RBN 3, Aug. 24, 2007, “PUPPET MASTERS AND THE RACE BLAME GAME”

“Our reality is fabricated and it’s marketed to us from a thousand sources…

In the old builders, the high Masonic tradition from ancient times to the present they built cultures, and when they built the culture they build a brand new structure – New Tower of Babel you might say…

Plato was quite right. All culture that’s authorized comes from the top down to the people and it’s marketed to the people. We mimic and copy and eventually even think it’s our own…

…everyone’s getting the same culture as you noticed. It doesn’t matter if you’re Catholic or Jewish or charismatic this or whatever, [you’re] all getting the same culture, and you find the same problems are existing in all families and with the children too. Regardless of what [people] pretend they’re all about and what their premise is for existing, they’re adopting the same culture, and they have the same fallouts within themselves…

What you’ll find at the top is that all of these characters, who give the heat, again, to one group of people, belong to the Jewish Sect of the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry. They all belong to the B’nai Brith and that’s what it is. It’s the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry, the Jewish wing. They take their orders from the main lodge that takes in people from all over the world, from all creeds, going all the way back to the Knights Templars who ran the money system a thousand years ago. This is how they con the planet. The guys that we see who you think are the top, or the Jewish, will wear any cap at all. They don’t believe in the religions of the people beneath them. They’re way above that. They have their own religion at the top. It's a universal religion, has been here for thousands of years, they belong to Masonic organizations at the top.”

RBN 4, Aug. 27, 2007, “ROYALTY, LIFE-RAFTS, RELIGIONS AND REPERTOIRES VERSUS ANOTHER, BETTER WAY”

Rick: “Hello. I want to know about Jesus and his relation to Freemasonry. I’ve been enjoying your excellent ancient history and religion lectures but it's not clear whether Jesus was an agent of the freemasons or was he acting against them?

Alan: What we do know is that regardless and really that's all we can go by is what we know, not suspect. However, we do know that Bibles have always been rewritten down through history. Even the first one that was compiled as an official bible by the Vaticanus version, which even the New Testament from King James was copied from, with more alterations. Each one has had alterations to try and keep the power in the right authorities’ hands and make the people obey. So, there’s very little you can go by because all holy books have been given out for political purposes down through the ages, and we know that King James and his court were Rosicrucian, the precursor of what they now call “freemasonry” and they did put an awful lot of symbolism in there. However, most of the Freemasonry you’ll find, is taken from the Old Testament. Even the system that we live in is contained within the Old Testament and the rules for those that want to succeed above all other peoples. Slavery is okay. Being very cunning and breaking the rules is okay as long as you get away with it and you do it craftily, and so Jacob fools his own father and gets the blessing. So, it’s all the rules of getting ahead in this system contained within the Old Testament primarily.

The New Testament is almost the antithesis of the old. The old one is a godfather, a mafia type deity which could be very benevolent or ruthless and sometimes very moody like a drunken father after a hangover the next morning. They were never quite sure if he’s going to hit you or hug you. The New Testament has a god of forgiveness and a personal god that you could talk to, so there are two opposing systems, because the New Testament was brought in with a lot of Greek Gnosticism brought into it from the deists and from the stoics from Greece. The old mystery religions are contained within the New Testament if you compare them with the old philosophies of Greece and ancient Egypt, whereas you’ve got a personal journey towards higher levels of consciousness and manifesting into a form of godhood; but, unfortunately, the ones that are alive today and believe in this they think they can be gods or they’re still walking around and no mortal can handle godhood because we’ve got too many flaws. I hope that helps answer your question…

[To another caller, Sal] I mean if you really look at the Old Testament, you’re looking at a eugenics program because that’s where all the begetting is about, who breeds with whom all right down through there. It’s a eugenics program and we’ve got to keep that in mind. It’s a belief that through eugenics physically you have superior people and that’s exactly what all aristocracy the world over since the days of Darwin had publicly come out and admitted to...

Sal: Right, right. I appreciate that. I was just trying to thoroughly understand, which I feel I do because I feel that our Father blesses Christian nations, and Communist nations he won’t bless and that’s to me what I get from Jacob, Esau.

Alan: If you go by that. However, with the New Testament, which is always thrown out the window because in America they tend to take the Old Testament before the New, which is rather strange. However, the New Testament was the only way for personal salvation. Not to go to heaven like a big herd or a posse…

That’s how it goes and we live in different countries with different religions. The people who follow the religions are generally good people. You find that good Christians who have been brought up, in a good Muslim country with good Muslims. In India, the good Hindus. You eventually test your environment around you by the religion that’s given to you - that which answers all the questions. You don’t have to figure things out in religion because all the questions have been answered for you. Your growth is stunted to an extent, and yet within those religions is a stairway to things above for a very few who could understand it. Most don’t see that stairway.

I’m not talking about Jacob’s ladder, either, for the Masons. The Masons are really no higher spiritually than anyone else. You can’t get a spiritual life by following formula and doing rituals and having someone explain very basic stuff to you that should have been obvious in the first place. You can’t get it that way. The real higher Masons are just those who’ve always had control of the material world because they gave us money. They gave us the system of law, which is their system, which is based around the laws of economics because they run the economic system. This is the war between spirit and matter going on right here. This is the ‘middle earth’ as they call it, the real one, not the hollow earth that they go on about written by Bulwer Lytton. None of that stuff. I’m talking about the actual middle part. The hell below, the middle is the earth, and the spirit is above. That’s what they mean by that. The middle earth, this is it right here…

All the holy books have similar qualities in them of basic rules. Basic rules to make society at least get along with each other without killing each other and killing your neighbors, which is really the purpose of religion.

However, religion has always been usurped by those who are a bit more cunning, as I say, the psychopathic that gravitate into it. We forget that before parliaments and governments were established as such, not so long ago the religious bodies were the governments of those countries…

Mike: Good evening, Alan. A lady called into one of the other RBN shows recently, very distraught it seemed at the fact that you appear to be undermining if not destroying the early held belief systems that she and probably many others have built their whole lives around. I would guess especially in the areas of religion, democracy, patriotism, et cetera without providing realistic alternatives and I have to say although I tend to agree with most of what you say. It’s fascinating stuff. I think she might have a point, regardless of whether these belief systems are myth or not.

Alan: Yes. These are structures you’re talking about.

Mike: Exactly.

Alan: They’re structures and I’m well aware of that. However, here’s the problem. The problem is these structures are falling apart even though people are clinging to them like a life raft and they have not been given a replacement, therefore they turn rather murderous when you’re showing them they must pick another way to overcome drowning…

Alan: Yes. What we must do is not react the way that they expect us all to react, because people are going to be faced with two choices. That’s to do exactly as they’re told as they’re herded along into the big cities where they’re run by authorities from birth to death, or to start turning around and doing something they haven’t tried for thousands of years – and that’s helping each other.

Mike: I guess – I mean could it all sort of be boiled down to the pure form of Christianity, you know when you say to help each other?

Alan: Do you realize how scared people are today?

Mike: Without the religious aspect?

Alan: Yes. I mean there’s no choice here. We literally have no choice because the big boys have planned what they say is the future and they have all the techniques ready to make it happen. If the public can't turn around and help each other right off the bat when this all comes down, then they will do as they’re told like robots. They will go off into the camps as they’re told. They will be separated from their own children. That’s already been discussed if you look at some of the high priority papers that have been published, and so we’re looking at an absolute hell which is part of the next millennium for the global control, and we have the choice of going along with them where we have supposedly safety or security but no freedom.

Mike: If you had to make a guess is it more likely to be a gradual process or will it be sort of a catalyst in the near future that really pushes things?

Alan: The catalyst is already here now. This stuff is being discussed and it really is taking off fast and that’s all it has to do. It’s not a matter of me saying what must happen. I leave that to other people. However, I can always point the way.”

Alan Watt was consistent. He never changed his message, though he did change his approach over time, depending on the audience and their ability to hear. His coverage of this worldly system was thorough, but that was never anything more than the vehicle. The active ingredients were clear and oft repeated for those with ears to hear.

Flying monkeys be damned. Alan Watt would repeat things ‘for the hard of thinking.’ Mother bird swallows it whole and lets it sit in the stomach a while for pre-digestion. Then the mother bird regurgitates this semi-digested food directly into the chicks’ mouths, a process that ensures the food is safe and easy for the little chick’s underdeveloped digestive systems to handle. Here are all of those choice quotes from the first four episodes of Alan’s RBN shows, chewed up, and made safe and easy to swallow.

You are born into an ancient system which is run by psychopathic humans (not Archons). They have had many hundreds of thousands of years to study us, as they move through Ages, which we can learn about by studying the meaning of the Zodiac. These are Ages (not cycles). We are leaving, or have already left, one Age (Pisces), and moving into the next (Aquarius). In every age, our CULTures are created for us, and these vary from era to era, geographic location to geographic location. The CULTures are designed to contain explanations for everything that satisfy most people. The people at the top of this ancient system have their own religion, and they also create or CULTivate all the world’s religions, supplying leaders and PROTESTants, and for any sort of change they deem necessary, they will supply the change agents to make that happen.

At the end of an age, the supports that made that current CULTure function are deliberately destroyed. All supports: religion, family, social norms. People freak out. They desperately cling to those old supports, even as the walls fall down around them. They fight wars for their masters who tell them that they are fighting to ensure their supports continue, even though the support of Evangelical Christianity, of dispensationalism, or some variant of Calvinism, bears no resemblance whatsoever to what the support looked like in the time of Jesus, or Constantine, Augustine, or Luther. In lands where other CULTures and religions dominate, the destruction of the supports is the same, it just looks a little different to those outside that CULTure. The economic supports? Dog eat dog.

The building, destruction, and rebuilding that characterizes the CULT system is the prototypical Forever War. Alan never saw eugenics or the culling of the herd as good farm management. See it, but hate it, and fight it.

In the first episode on RBN, Alan said that we are faced with a choice, NOW: whether we will ‘acquiesce,’ surrender our comfort zones and all that is familiar for the sake of humanity, for the ability to live as we choose? Or, do we hand it over to the ‘elite’ without a fight? NOW, we can PARTICIPATE in this incredible time of change!

The freaked-out people (or the Floating People as Alan Watt called them in the Redux from November 8, 2026), look for new distractions, novel religions, better drugs, a different President or Prime Minister. They demand someone above them change things. Make it better. They blame the immigrants, the economy, the war in Iran, the Jews, and ‘this time it will be different.’ ‘Now that Labour is in.’ ‘Now that the Democrats wiped the floor with the Republicans.’ Thus, it goes until the new green religion of Sustainability reigns supreme, all watched over by Hermaphrodites of loving grace. The new age will be as different from the age we leave behind as Sumer was to Edwardian England, and because that is simply impossible to visualize, we clutch to the old and useless supports.

Alan said that the religions, which were designed for us, are being deliberately destroyed, and people did not want to hear him say that, but just as angrily, they did not want to hear him say “within those religions is a stairway to things above for a very few who could understand it. Most don’t see that stairway… This is the war between spirit and matter going on right here.” He said that he would leave the ‘telling how you do it’ to other people, he also said, ‘I can always show the way.’ People could ‘start turning around and doing something they haven’t tried for thousands of years – and that’s helping each other.’

"Witness Crumbling of Empire, Tired and Spent,

Military Might Over-Extended Across the World,

Floating People ask Where the Power all Went,

Since the Flag Still Flutters Free, Unfurled.

Marshal Tunes and Songs Still Sound the Same,

Yet Cohesive Unity is Frayed and Fragmented,

Floating People are Programmed Who to Blame,

Internal Fury and Rage from the Discontented."
