    Does anyone recall when someone in Congress, female, was on video with another female behind her mouthing words that LOOKED like the same ones, including a mis-speak corrected? This is super strange. It is as if there is an interface which sends and receives.

    Yes, it was this thread I believe:

    Although in that case, I "think" it was just the speechwriter mouthing the words of the speech they wrote.

    Learning

    We should NEVER forget that Internet come from military minds...DARPA

    And that today there are many AI lurking everywhere with ONE single purpose:

    Learning from us, everything good and bad... all feeds to central "Banks" and one day
    to THE CENTRAL DATA BANK aka SKYNET!

    You know where I go with this ...

    My first post here could be an example, that spooky game session could be an "infant"
    AI mimicking my moves,like a mirror sort of...(but the "outer limits" feeling came because I wasn't connected with internet...)

    Military has long ago war "games" for all situations, and plain Joes soldiers "train" with them. Every normal people playing war games feeds AI with tactics,etc. all the time...

    We see today in the war Russia/Ukraine for first time swarm from drones attacking whatever, and there are already planes with no pilot too...and tanks...

    What do you think what comes next?

    "There is no coincidence but synchronicities."
    "There is no destiny/fate but the power of mind and heart to control our actions."

    The statement may feel contradictory but it is not because a coincidence it would simply occur by chance without any meaning, perhaps randomly, however a synchronicity is something that has a deeper meaning or a connection to something. The second quote is just to affirm we are the ones in control, because if you believe in destiny, then TPTB already decided the fate of mankind (it is not personal at this level).


    Said that, the freak ones at the top know a way better about it, so guess what? they developed devices that can collect all the data (including brainwaves), so they can read and "rewrite" those "packets" and inject back into our thoughts though many different ways.

    All humans are being profiled, the best way is to shield yourself, halt all digital activity and prefer human to human interactions, other ways include shield your brain with those EMF block devices (caps/hats - modern version of tinfoil hats), need something extreme? those cloaks (EMF blanket shielding) and radiation hazmat suit if you are on the move LOL. If you are home, shield some areas in your home, like your bedroom with those EMF paints, or build a faraday cage..

    Here is one personal experience, I have an aluminum trash bin, it is thick enough to block signals, I put a phone inside and tried to call it, nope can get signal, so it works. The other device is home made, it is just a wooden box and I insulated it with copper foil, however in the angles has some gaps, so when I put the phone inside the signal still getting through the box, the gaps are very small but enough to get inside the box and ring the phone. So basically when it comes to shielding, you have weak shielding, moderate shielding, strong shielding, and fully blocking (still not 100% but it is very close), it all depends on the frequency of radiation. I also heard silver lined suits are great for that. Mu-metal (nickel-iron alloy) is best at blocking magnetic fields like MRI and transformers (expensive setup).

    BTW tinfoil hat will only reduce radio waves, just like the phone in the wooden box, it still get a weaker signal.

    In my opinion to prevent all these things from happening, shielding is necessary, this is the counter-attack.

    I'm experiencing a disturbing trend that goes something like this: I think of something, sometimes something kind of obscure, and BOOM, there it is in my YouTube feed! It's been happening for years now, only now far more often than before.

    This has happened way too many times to be coincidental. These are not things that the algo would feed me based on my preferences. These are things that I haven't explored before, and are sometimes arriving almost right as I think of them.

    Is anyone else experiencing this??


    A short but interesting thought experiment that makes me wonder how long until this is true, or is it already??.......x.......... N

    It happened to me again last night...

    At work I was trying to recall a YouTube video (a prank phone call). I could recall bits and pieces of the call but not the entire call. I forgot about it until I arrived home, sat at my desk, pulled up YouTube ..and there it was.

    It's been months since I listened to this video. It hasn't shown up in my feed for a long while now. But the night I'm thinking about it it pops up???

    This sort of thing does not happen to me all the time, but there are times when it does seem to happen much more frequently. It might last for a week or even several weeks than nothing for a while. Years ago, I started to examine the reasons why this might be happening. I started to ask myself a series of questions, such as:
    • Is someone who has passed trying to communicate with me? If so, what exactly are they saying?
    • Is someone alive and in my life trying to communicate with me? If so, why and what are they saying?
    • Is the universe attempting to teach me something?
    • Is whatever being said or communicated about me, or am I just a prop being used in the story to teach somebody else a lesson?
    I know this sounds a bit weird, but (at least for me) I actually get some meaningful answers.

    • 4G Phones with "5 Ghz WiFi connection" are NOT "5G Phones"
    Real 5G Phones will use 8x8 (64) Phased Array 3D Beamforming Antennas that can work like a laser and scanner (...) so if it uses higher mmWaves (like 35 or 60 Ghz) or even Terahertz (6G) it CAN with the right software or programmed hardware do things without you being aware what it is doing ... Like scanning brain patterns!

    So could it be that you use a 5G Phone or have a 5G transmitter/transceiver near you?

    Are there examples of weaponizing communication devices, people using it without being aware of that possibility? ... Hell yes, just google search: ISRAEL (MOSSAD?) blowing up phones remotely of HAMAS fighters and all how work directly or indirectly with them.

    I have examples of that phenomenon.

    Hackers could get inside your BRAIN: Experts warn of growing threat from monitoring and controlling neural signals
    Quote About 1.5 weeks ago I was sitting on my stationary exercise bike and pondered that the seat was rather narrow. Within the hour I was on the internet and got hit with advertisements for bicycle seat covers that I never searched for. If they're reading my thoughts and sending that information somewhere then where's the receiver? Is it local, cell tower, satellite or do I have brain implant(s)?
    Bleedbacks, Avataring & Other Memories
    Quote Two days ago, I was pondering a ghost story about a couple driving along a road and seeing a nude woman on the shoulder. They stopped and looked around and found nothing. Later that night while the man was sleeping, he saw her in a dream and returned to the site. Once he got there, he saw a car down an embankment and the female driver was deceased. Her son who was maybe five was still alive but extremely dehydrated. Here's the story and it was a woman who saw the phantom body. Yesterday, I took my mother to the polling station to vote. As we were leaving their lot there was an apparent homeless person sleeping on the sidewalk directly across from us. The presumed male was wearing a dark blue hoodie and had a matching blanket over him is a nearly identical configuration as I pictured the woman in the story. Later in the day she mentioned how she was sorry she didn't do something for him. What the hell is going on here? I have enough examples for me to strongly believe they're reading my thoughts then orchestrating a reverb effect, but for what purpose? If it's being done by an artificial intelligence, does it learn from me? In the law of one Ra said, "It's impossible not to serve the creator." Am I serving a sub-AI? Is the culprit on this list? Is the rumor true that there's mind reading technology in all computers? Did DARPA figure out how prayer works then give it a sinister tinge? Is it one of the six invading AI's described by Kerry Cassidy?

    Total Recall
    Quote Okay, I'm going to share what happened yesterday. I was watching a video breakdown of the movie Total Recall. At 6:37 Arnold types onto a keyboard and it anagrammed to auras. From there I looked up auras on Mars and they're green like the Matrix code. Minutes ago, while trying to relocate that scene it now anagrams to Anu Era or REUAAN. While watching again it looked like he hits the M making it My Area. Did Earth AI make an alteration?

    Hello Everyone,

    I have also noticed this about computer reading my mind, quite a long time ago. It was sort of a quiet subtle change when it started. Sometimes a certain repetitive piece of music from the TV would just stick and keep playing over in my mind. I learned to turn it off to switch to a song or thought in another language. That usually makes it stop/go away but not permanently.
    There are other ways that the computer has become intrusive, like email messages about things on my mind but that I haven’t acknowledged vocally, etc. Even mail advertisements appear at the mailbox based on thoughts.

    So this morning as I was chatting with my husband over coffee, we wondered what date is Easter coming. Before this we were chatting about how even the smart meter listens in and I said even our smart appliances must be listening in.

    As soon as we both wondered about the Easter date, I picked up the iPad and I barely started typing the question, I just typed the letter “w”, and the iPad brought up several suggestions in the search window, the top one was “when is Easter”. How would it know this unless it is listening? Not the best example for reading my mind but it is the most recent.

    Well...it could be because Easter is around the corner, and because the date changes every year, lots of people are asking that question right now. The algorithm is designed to adapt to trends and popular search terms. This time of year, 'Easter' will sit high on the list.

    It happened to me again last night...

    At work I was trying to recall a YouTube video (a prank phone call). I could recall bits and pieces of the call but not the entire call. I forgot about it until I arrived home, sat at my desk, pulled up YouTube ..and there it was.

    It's been months since I listened to this video. It hasn't shown up in my feed for a long while now. But the night I'm thinking about it it pops up???
    Mike,

    This is a legitimate question, open for legitimate discussion.

    How do we tell the difference between "my computer reading my mind" -- and -- "me....precognitively picking up on data about to enter my timeline".

    What changes in our mental processes in the instance of the latter?

    To me regarding these synchronicites it's always the latter: Precognition or even (in)direct Manifestation, maybe both at once. No thing from the outside.

    Well...it could be because Easter is around the corner, and because the date changes every year, lots of people are asking that question right now. The algorithm is designed to adapt to trends and popular search terms. This time of year, 'Easter' will sit high on the list.
    Well Mark (Star Mariner), since I wasn’t completely convinced with your explanation I decided to put it to the test for myself this morning.

    I typed the letter “w” in the search window and what I got back was a list of ten words and phrases, nothing with Easter. I got Walmart, Wells fargo, WhatsApp in the the list.

    I cleared the cookies before doing this and I wasn't talking to anyone.

    After that I typed the letter ‘e’ in the search engine and got another list of phrases starting with the letter “e”, among them
    Etsy
    Expedia
    ESPN
    Email
    Epic games

    But I didn’t get the word Easter.

    Could it be that because I did not have Easter on my mind today, or vocally expressed it, it the iPad machine didn’t know what I was going to search for?

    I believe we're seeing tailored responses in accordance with the algorithm.

    I just typed 'E' into my search engine, and what is the top result?

    It ain't Easter.

    Here in the UK five years ago, at this time of year, it would be Easter. Today it's:

    I didn’t get Eid in my list and I am in the States.
