This is an awful situation. I've seen the posts of some Outlaw forum stuff. This Andre character is making hay on this right now. I've heard him on
a couple of shows now. In one he calls Kealy's stuff bizzare, on the other he calls it amazing and fascinating. ANDRE ADMITS that one of his forum
members tried to rip Alan off by producing merchadise without Alan's permission. He accuses Alan of deleting a section of his broadcast, but he
himself has had stuff deleted off his own website. He seems to ridicule the fact that an attempt was made to use Alan's face on other material,
saying that "(Alan) says that his face is copyrighted". Actually Andre, you should check copyright law. Alan is actually right about this (Check
international copyright law). On the moral issue, how would Andre like it if I created a site similar to his, with a similar name, a similar look and
feel? How about if someone started making money off Andre's own work, and the advertised that they were going to donate a small portion of it to
Andre himself without even telling him or sending him any money? How about if someone set up a site to honour this Andre character, spilling their
guts on how much they love him, how much they learned from him, then turned on him like an animal and attempted to destroy his life's work in the
process? How about if someone started spending their time smearing Andre's name by putting what he says out of context? How about if someone creates
a forum, and members of that forum started calling Andre at home and started threatening Andre and his family? How about if someone linked Andre to
some borderline anti-semetic crap without his permission? How would you feel Andre? Because these are all the things you are accusing Alan of, and
he's the bad guy? You admit Alan has taught you a lot but now you can't stand him and pay him back by smearing him all over the net? You pay back
the community like this by creating this much division? As for Glen Kealy and the image that you say Alan ripped off .... I take it Kealy was the
illustrator? I think not. What is the PRIMARY source of the illustration and the writings that you say Alan ripped off? Do you have any idea of how
recorded history works? Does this mean that if a writer and/ or historian goes to a primary source that he or she is the only person to be able to
report or write about this? Does this mean we can only have one version of history? You say you have learnt from Alan but have you really learnt
anything at all? You've written off the leaders of the truth movement like Watt, Jones and Rense in recorded interviews. You've written off people
of listen to Alan Watt as a cult and brainwashed. You and your forum members are trying so hard now to discredit Alan, including your friend who tried
to rip Alan, by going onto forums and interviews and doing everything you can to "expose" him? Personally, I've tried to stay out of this, but I'm
outraged that someone with the history that you and some of your forum members have are doing your utmost best to someone who is working hard to wake
people up. Like me, you may not agree with everthing people like Rense, Watt and Jones may have to say, but you may try to produce some of your own
PRIMARY work in exposing the powers that be, rather than try to make a name for yourself in attacking others that have taught you so much. You judge a
tree by it's fruit. Look at what you're doing and the effect that your unresearched rantings are having on the movement. I'd rather not agree with
Alan at the moment and call you under the thumb and rather as someone who is young and nieve about intellectual property and issues like primary
sources.
