True believers and and unbelievers (or empty sociopaths) are the two kinds of human animal that I find truly frightening.
They also seem to be the ones that "get stuff done" for the guys in the star chambers.
But yeah... another interesting series of thoughts and what ifs?

The person who prompted this entire thread/discussion to exist had in his possession a few. They were posted on here at one time. I don't know in which thread/discussion though -- the individual who brought all of this to the table was involved in many threads.
I'm sure a few here will remember those photos of the triangle "spinning up".

I like Kandinsky, too... likely because of the kindness and intellect displayed with their posts ... aaaand the applause notes I occasionally get from his (or her) direction, being human and susceptible to flattery, and all.
In fact, can't think of any Mod that bothers me ... even the micro-manager who kept deleting my signatures, heh.
But.. .thread drift... anyone want some secret spacemen decoder rings? Anyone? ...?

yes,and now we have to find a way to coallate all these stories. I dont suppose anyone here has a program we can use to look for commonalities?

Speaking of mind control...I'm sure many ATS users listen the Dan Carlins awesome podcast Hardcore History and Common Sense. He doesnt come accross as the tin foil hat type, but in his most recent Common Sense podcast #299, he strays into new territory and talks about his thoughts/beliefs conserning mind control, the morality of it, and why its probably more fact than fiction.
He really dives into it at the 37:25 mark.

I believe he said 'when the day comes that that thing is floated out of a hanger for the public to see. the Internet would melt down twice over along with ATS's servers and everyone would be going ALIENS!!!! Roswell!!!!!! or something along those lines. Not forthcoming disclosure and such. More like IF that were to ever happen.

From my understanding, and what I've been told to believe (not that I do as I'm told) tech that could conceivably do that to an individual is crude and the effects crude. So no hallucinations or advanced fighting knowledge or whatever could be passed on to the target with a flip of the switch. But simple brain states like panic or rage or courage, perception of time or missing time. Maybe...

My best guess with the grey connection is all of the above. There are gray humanoid creatures, or beings in gray suits, tall and short. The gray alien scenario is also adopted as a screen memory in milab/privab scenarios, because it would be fairly easy to latch a subject on to under hypnosis, as compared to, say, a blob of ooze or some such.

Let me see if I can help you guys break this down. The human consciousness has been hackable for at least as long as humanity has had a conception of the notion of consciousness. Hypnosis is an ancient practice really, despite its taboo nature. A fair sight more than a few decades, Baddogma.
There are countermeasures, however. You are hackable, so let's install some antivirus, adblocker, and spyware removal software.
Learn about hypnosis. I'm sure you've all read a little about the topic, but I suggest that you study it as if you were trying to learn it. At the end of the day, this sort of mind manipulation that occurs is most likely a form of hypnosis and/or suggestion, though technologically assisted. Therefore, the more you know, the better equipped you will be to recognize, and possibly defend against or counteract any attempts at manipulation.

I'd just like to counter in your advice, which is, I think, for the most part, sound, something called "tacit participation." Tacit is implied knowing, of course. So, I could give you many links about how we have a plethora of devices around us capable of delivering hypnotic and even more electrically concrete signals to disrupt our "usual" state of consciousness, with any desired manipulation or suggestion: your television, your cellphone, any number of devices and in a number of different ways.
After that knowledge, (and this is the way those that are using said tech to manipulate plainly see it….that's why they've allowed us the knowledge of what and how this is done….so that when we continue to live in the "civilized" media linked world, we have "tacitly," agreed, then, once knowing. Think about it: everytime you watch television, you've tacitly agreed to this manipulation of your psyche and consciousness, or use your cell phone, or computer, etc……
Thanks for your advice, but I find it relatively naive, considering the true nature of the issue, and the inescapability of what you are truly confronted with, and the deviousness of those whom employ it on the rest of us…
The reason why I take the time to reply with all this, is you make it sound so friggin easy with the downloading the right antivirus software to overcome the issue of hacking one's mind….and it's really not that simple at all, when talking about the human brain as opposed to your computer. Your computer is far more protectable, and then again, not really. It's just that we're hinging the future of economy on the computer, so no one dares talk about how hackable it is, no matter what software you choose to download for your protection. Likewise, the human mind. Once that bell was rung, it seems it sadly could not be unrung, or at least, no protection to be employed to stave off the ringing…..
The conversation of the last few pages re mind control seemed to be contemplating the notion that our thoughts or minds are no longer our own, and so I'm saying to you guys that your minds are no longer your own only if you allow them to be. Suggestive
I am aware of it, but I have agreed to nothing. Being aware of the power and prevalence of the arts of hypnosis and suggestion, I am aware of when these tricks are being employed and am able to reduce my suggestibility due to my awareness. That these cheap tricks are widespread these days does not mean that I must then necessarily be victimized by these cheap tricks.
