G8, 7/7, Benjamin Netanyahu and ‘old friends’
A Not Sure piece to go along with Alan Watt Redux 218.

For those of you who arrived at Cutting Through the Matrix on Substack for some other reason than being acquainted with the work of the late Alan Watt, here is a brief introduction to the CTTM Redux which are posted each Sunday (on the CTTM websites in audio form and CTTM channels in video form) and the Not Sure pieces which often accompany the Redux.
Alan passed away on March fourth of 2021, and the shock and grief were enormous, but the burden to continue landed on my shoulders swiftly. The word redux came to mind. This Latin word reducere means ‘returned’, ‘restored’ or ‘brought back’. Fortuna Redux was a form of the goddess Fortuna in the Roman Empire. She guided the fortunes of those on a long and perilous journey, such as a soldier returning home from war. A cornucopia in one hand, and a rudder in the other, the goddess represents bounty and success.
The word arrived to me with no mythology but as a directive: bring Alan back, bring him back.
The first Redux was posted on 14 March 2021.
Not Sure followed two weeks later on 30 March 2021, with “Another Peek Inside The Little Blue Book”, with a few words to say about Klaus Schwab’s Covid 19: The Great Reset. When I think back on the horror and haze of those first days and weeks without Alan, I am still surprised by Redux and Not Sure.
I’ve shared with you that my favorite blurb of Alan Watt’s is “Sing Your Song and Steal Some Time” from 28 February 2007. In that talk, Alan read a German lieder from Heinrich Heine.
Aus meinen grossen Schmerzen
Aus meinen grossen Schmerzen
Mach’ ich die kleinen Lieder;
Die heben ihr klingend Gefieder
Und flattern nach ihrem Herzen.
Sie fanden den Weg zur Trauten,
Doch kommen sie wieder und klagen,
Und klagen, und wollen nicht sagen,
Was sie im Herzen schauten.
Out of my great sorrows
Out of my great sorrows
I make little songs;
They raise their resonant wings
And flutter to her heart.
They found their way to my dear one,
But they come back and lament,
Lament, and will not tell me
What they saw in her heart.
Translation © Richard Stokes, author of The Book of Lieder (Faber, 2005)
That is how the Redux started, and I continue to make little songs for Alan on Sunday, and every day.

The Redux I am posting today is from 11 July 2005, and it is an interview that Alan Watt had with Jackie Patru on her broadcast “Sweet Liberty.” They discuss the intense heat in northern Ontario and talk about chemtrails. They wander without an agenda over topics, and the show ends with a caller (Storm) who called in twice to make sure that Alan understood just how pivotal the Queen of England is to machinations of evil. But there are threads that Alan laid down at the beginning and he wove them throughout their discussion. People trust the media, they do not think or reason for themselves. They easily suspend disbelief. He shared a vivid example of doublethink. He made some bold statements about the 7/7 bombings in London, which had just happened four days before this interview, and some equally bold statements about Osama bin Laden and the death of Lady Di.
As I finished listening, it occurred to me that these threads wove a small but vivid piece of fabric that bears Alan Watt’s maker’s mark, which may be summed up thus, “Here’s another way to look at this.”
The official narrative of the 7 July 2005 bombings, also called 7/7: four coordinated suicide bombings carried out by Islamic terrorists targeting London’s public transportation system during Thursday morning rush hour. You can go down this rabbit hole forever, just like 9/11, but I will give you one place to start on your journey. There was a fictional ‘scenario’ drill that took place at exactly the same time as the ‘real’ bombings occurred.
Immediately after the bombings, the British people were polled about a national ID card. “How you like me now?” The Identity Cards Act of 2006 did pass. The first version was released in 2009, and it was repealed in 2011.

In 1975, representatives of six big governments (France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States) held a summit and called themselves the Group of Six or G6. A year later, they added Canada and cleverly changed their name to the Group of Seven. When Russia was added in 1997, they became known as the G8. Their mission statement has to do with promotion of liberal democracy, representative government and such-like. All these countries have the International Monetary Fund (IMF) seal of approval. In 2014, Russia invaded the Crimean Peninsula, a part of Ukraine and annexed Crimea. That is, they acquired it by force and called it their own. Russia was booted out and the Group has since been known as G7.
We don’t really know what happens at these meetings. The embedded journalists issue press releases, and the leaders pose for group photos and ‘candid’ shots, but what is discussed when the press is excluded, we can only guess. We can assume all the comforts of home are laid on for these heads of state and their bureaucratic minions, and those comforts will naturally include sex and food.
The 51st and most recent gathering of the G7 took place in Alberta, Canada this past June on the 16th and 17th. Donald Trump left a day early because Israel attacked Iran on 13 June, and the world needed to see some drama and the appearance of indecision and consideration before the U.S. launched Operation Midnight Hammer on 22 June, ‘surprise’ attacks on three Iranian nuclear sites.
Back in 2005, the meetings were still known as G8, and the 31st summit at Gleneagles Hotel in Auchterarder, Scotland took place 6-8 July, 2005.
On 10 July 2005, Meir Dagan who was the director of the Israeli intelligence agency Mossad gave an interview to the German magazine, Bild am Sonntag, in which he stated that Mossad’s London office was alerted to the impending attack at 8:43 am, six minutes prior to the first bomb detonation.
On 11 July 2005, Benjamin Netanyahu gave an interview to CNNs Lou Dobbs. This was the headline, “Former Israeli PM: Three steps to deal with terror” which begins, “Israeli Finance Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, a former prime minister, was in London during Wednesday’s terrorist attacks and narrowly avoided one of the deadly subway explosions”.
At the height of their popularity or renown, politicians drop all extraneous names and go by one name only. Churchill, Thatcher, Blair, Nixon, Reagan, Obama. There are also some two-headed beasts, such as Trudeau, Bush, and Clinton. But for the most part, the politicians join the stars -- Cher, Beyoncé, Prince, Eminem, Bono, Drake, Rihanna, Madonna. In the case of Benjamin Netanyahu, he can go back and forth between two monikers, Bibi and Netanyahu. But this is now. Twenty years ago, his infamy was not so great, and he needed a whole string of names and descriptors: Israeli Finance Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, a former prime minister.
Let’s recap. On 6 July, a G8 summit, the gathering of major heads of state, takes place in Scotland. Israel was not taking part in the G8 summit, as they are not a ‘major player’ and they’re not part of the Group of Anything. On 7 July, four terrorist attacks take place in London at the exact time that make-believe attacks are scheduled for ‘practice’. The public is immediately polled to see if they are in favor of a national ID card. “How you like me now?” On 10 and 11 July, we learn that the Mossad were ‘alerted’ and Netanyahu, the star formerly known as “Israeli Finance Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, a former prime minister” just happened to be in town on 7 July for a finance meeting and ‘narrowly avoided one of the deadly subway explosions’. Have we suspended our disbelief?

A movie that I watched several times with Alan was The Exorcist III. He thought this film was the best in the trilogy and an excellent portrayal of someone (Lt. Kinderman portrayed by George C. Scott) who did not believe in the supernatural, as in God and Satan. Kinderman’s family were practicing Catholics and his best friend was a Catholic priest, but the whole God-thing eluded him.
As the Lieutenant tried to piece together elements of crimes that seemed impossible, because the apparent perpetrator, James Venamun (the “Gemini Killer”) was in solitary confinement in a maximum-security psychiatric prison, he interviewed the staff nurse and psychiatrist and looked for ways that the prisoner might be allowed out to commit the murders by someone on the inside. In one scene, he is in the lounge area, where some inmate patients were allowed to congregate, determining if anyone there might have the answers he sought. An elderly woman rapidly crawled across the ceiling, but he missed that because he didn’t look up. It is this scene where the viewer is given all the clues which might prompt the question, “What’s in these people?”
In the cell of the “Gemini Killer”, there is a disturbing scene where Kinderman realizes that there is something or someone else inside Venamun, that no evil he has ever investigated has prepared him for this encounter. He needs to understand, logically, rationally, how Venamun is helped to leave the prison hospital. Venamun toys with him. “I'm just a traveling man. One who moves”. Then pressed for the particulars, “Who helps you?” he answered, “Just friends...old friends.”
Kinderman has examined his case from every angle and the rational explanation has not brought him closer to the truth. Venamun has taunted him and the presence of something or someone else is palpable. He is broken and cries out to the serial killer and whoever resides in him, “This I believe in... I believe in death. I believe in disease. I believe in injustice and inhumanity, torture and anger and hate... I believe in murder. I believe in pain. I believe in cruelty and infidelity. I believe in slime and stink and every crawling, putrid thing... every possible ugliness and corruption, you son of a b*tch. I believe... in you”.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is set to travel to the US tomorrow, 7 July 2025. We are told the visit comes “amid intensifying efforts by Washington to end the war in Gaza and free hostages held there for nearly two years”. This is Benjamin Netanyahu’s third trip to the United States since Donald Trump’s inauguration. He’s a traveling man. One who moves.
