Yes, I do think we're being monitored. I think the Prince ME was deliberately done because "They" knew the entire world would be tuned in upon news of his death. I think it was a test. To identify who would be fooled and who would not. How many of us would notice, and how many would speak up. How many would run searches to double check.
I'd be willing to bet that there are far more people who noticed than we think, but are either too afraid people will think they're crazy or too afraid to trust their own gut to say anything to anyone. I'm hoping discussions like this will continue to encourage them to question rather than remain silent.
I think it's even highly probable that They have actual people commenting on threads just like this, if not this very thread, deliberately baiting people to test the mettle of their convictions. I think they're gathering data to that effect, perhaps in preparation to move forward with the next phase. As you said, this is likely one of many steps in a "test phase".

You're really hating on the person we know as jacy, and the subject of this thread, neither of which is acceptable forum behaviour.

Your multiple post scattergun attack landed with full force just after the moment that the thread participants were celebrating the existence of an open & tolerant environment to discuss the high strangeness of this topic, which by virtue of its nature is superficially impenetrable to ordinary rationales of debate between experiencers (not the condescending 'believers' you choose to label them as) and non-experiencers. There have been plenty of respectful non-experiencers who have shown up in this thread & enjoyed some back & forth about what this all means, but they largely lost interest because it really is, at first assessment, an 'in or out' matter - you either experience these reality distortions, or you don't. At least not yet.

So. Where does that leave you? You're suitably locked in the prime position to attack, degrade, belittle & humiliate. Well played. But surely, had you bothered to properly analyse the subject at hand, you would have determined that the matter is likely operative in some quirk of quantum weirdness, or psychological oddity, or even mystical realms - in none of which events, would your blunt force pseudo-logical attack against the participants be a valid response in the event of a neutral, or agnostic position.
This is a strange topic, and it is being discussed with the most open mindset possible by all who have experienced the ME. And equally by many who haven't. I can only assume you already knew all that, as it's in Skunkworks forum for a REASON. Therefore take your aggression & forum sliding tactics away to some other locale. You've contributed enough of the same garbage to this thread already, move along.

Ignore them and move on. The more traffic this thread gets, the more of them we will see. Why? Because we're on to something. So every single one of them who latches onto this thread is simply one more piece of validation that we are on the right track here.

These are either people with a serious inferiority complex regarding their own memories, or there is a definite agenda going on.

I only want the truth.

You have your truth!
You've stated numerous times what your truth is. Can't you just accept that it's not the truth for others?
Also, this is not a courtroom. This is skunkworks...

I say there's room here for all "takes" on the matter at hand.
Okay fair enough.
What is "your take" on this...?
A pill...one lone pill...was in a bottle that was previously empty.
It was definitely empty. Hubby confirms that (and is too blown away to even comment on this)...
The pill...was the same pill that was prescribed (on the bottle label)...but it was NOT the right brand that has always been prescribed.

Yes, it's Skunk Works, and we're all trying to figure something out here. I'm sorry you don't like my approach, but I do feel like I have the right to participate just the same as any of you. My understanding is different than some of yours, sure.
Why is simple logic such a threat? Why wouldn't the fact that these are faulty memories be comforting rather than inciting (as it seems to be the case here)?

It's not a threat. Your truth is faulty memory. That's absolutely fine.
My personal experience is not down to faulty and is far deeper than the way a few words are perceived to be spelt.
Now, I flip your question back to you.
Why do YOU seem to find that so threatening?
