{{cquote|In all ages, in all lands, there have been those who seek truth. This seeking is an individual's search for something more than self, and much more than the confines of this worldly system. It is the seeker, who understands there is more than what meets the eye, who is not afraid and makes the choice to go into the unknown. The process of awaking has begun, the discovery is underway.||| Alan Watt in ''A Course in Deprogramming''}}
'''Alan Watt''' {{lived||2021<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20220108151741/http://www.cuttingthroughthematrix.com/bio.html Wee Bit of Alan Watt's Bio] ''Cutting Through the Matrix'' (archived from January 8, 2022).</ref>}} was a [[Scotland|Scottish]]-[[Canada|Canadian]] [[Conspiracy theory|conspiracy theorist]] and [[crank]] from Ontario [[Canada]], who ran the online conspiratorial ministry, ''Cutting Through The Matrix'', where he preached [[New World Order]] conspiracy theories while trying to make a few bucks selling books, CDs, and DVDs.<ref>[https://canadianliberty.com/alan-watt-passed-away-on-march-4-2021/ Alternative media heavyweight Alan Watt passed away on March 4, 2021] canadianliberty.com, 8 March 2021.</ref> In other words, a lesser-known but equally cranky version of [[Alex Jones]].<ref>Alan Watt was not to be confused with {{wpl|Alan Watts||,}} the British-born philosopher and populariser of Eastern philosophy.</ref>

Consistent with a strange trend among conspiracy theorists, Watt ran a webshite that A: looks like it hasn't been updated since 1995 (sadly this is not the case). And B: [[Haig's Law|has so many loud and obnoxiously bright colors of text]] that it makes a preschool daycare drawing look like modern chromed architecture. It will literally make your EYES BLEED.

==Basic overview==
We could go on and on, but to keep this article from being about as boring as Watt himself, we'll keep it brief.

According to his website, "Because Alan is perfectly genuine he has no agent or manager to arrange radio interviews. He belongs to no group, [[sect]], or [[political party]]. If you would like to hear him more often, you will have to request the major talk show hosts to have him back. A mind with knowledge is a terrible thing to waste."

Starting in 2005, Watt ran a weekly radio show every Sunday, where he shat out all his conspiracy nonsense and took phone calls from listeners.<ref>http://www.cuttingthroughthematrix.com/audio.html</ref> Given the show's subject matter, as well as Watt's incredibly passive, uninteresting voice where he talked ''at'' you rather than ''to'' you, Watt's radio show was about as interesting as a broken garden gnome. He barely even showed interest during a 2011 radio show when a caller phoned in, showing genuine concern about world domination and public ignorance.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mC7RvkNoR8&t</ref> It sounded as if Watt's counter-concern was the caller's credit card number.

Since 2006, his official logo has been a badly photo-shopped Alan Watt head in martial arts attire kicking over the tearing up [[Illuminati|pyramid eye]].

==So, what did he believe in?==
Alan Watt professed belief in the following:   
* The world as we know it 
has been for decades
 is on the brink of collapse, and a [[New World Order]] is imminent.
* Governments are using the conflict in the [[Middle East]] to distract us from the real problem… [[chemtrails]]!<ref>Alas, the [http://www.cuttingthroughthematrix.com/chemtrails.html chemtrails page on Cutting Through The Matrix] contains little text — it's mostly contrail photos.</ref>
* Professional sports are being used to distract the populace from the [[elite]]'s secret plans and to "take away your manhood".<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFjGj77wG-4 Alan Watt The Truth About Sports] (video), Travinyle1 channel on YouTube</ref>
* [[Global warming denialism|Anthropogenic climate change is a hoax]] and is being used as an "excuse to bring about some agenda" involving [[Depopulation conspiracy theory|depopulation]] in accordance with the Club Of Rome and the [[United Nations]].<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=26Rokw-ABS4 Alan Watt - The Climate Change Scam, UN Agenda 21 and the Depopulation Agenda]. HannibaltheHerbivore, YouTube, 10 October 2012.</ref>
* "Prison cities" akin to the [[FEMA concentration camps]] were to be established across the world in 2011.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbn6sz9Oac8 Alan Watt: Prison Cities Coming in 2011 - Alex Jones Tv 1/3] (video), TheAlexJonesChannel on YouTube</ref> to kill off the [[useless eaters]]. As of {{CURRENTYEAR}} we're still waiting for them.
* Microchips, [[nanotechnology]], and implanted biosensors are becoming the "new normal".
* TV is evil and only exists to brainwash the masses<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4g2y6Qhs4TQ&t=236s Alan Watt | Throw Away Your TV]</ref>
* [[Coronavirus]] has been a ''gold mine'' on Watt's website. Major plot twist, he believed it's a [[hoax]] to force mandated [[Anti-vaccination movement|vaccines]]<ref>[https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2020/09/28/the-covid-deception/ The Covid Deception] linked on Watt's website</ref>.

We could go on for ''days'', but you get the idea by now.

==
Selling
 Sharing the truth==
As if his weekly podcasts weren't enough, Alan Watt's website has a section named "Purchase" where he distributed his books, CDs and DVDs, which spread more conspiracy theories and denialist nonsense. His CDs are $40 (USD) EACH<ref>http://www.cuttingthroughthematrix.com/ordering/USA_Order_Form_AW.htm</ref>. He also ran a Paypal donation button and (big surprise) gladly accepted donations.

===Alan Watt in Show-Biz===
Watt made his 
straight-to-the-bargain-rack-in-a-gas-station
 big screen debut in the low budget film, ''Order of Chaos'', starring Watt as "the radio voice" alongside a cast of absolutely nobody recognizable. The film is advertised on Watt's website. It actually ''doesn't'' come with a gun and ammo, despite what the front cover suggests.

==Stopped clock==
{{main|Stopped clock}}
Despite his wacky beliefs, Watt was skeptical of religious [[fundamentalism]]. He also denounced the equally insane views of [[David Icke]], although this could be seen [[Hypocrisy|both ways]] — or more likely jealousy of Icke's [[Money|moolah]] intake.
