> Its the same story as Snowden. These characters (if they are even real people and not pastiches or CGI) are controlled opposition.

> 'They' are running what you think about and what you do.

Without intending to be insulting: Perhaps you should mention to a doctor that you think certain public figures might secretly be CGI creations of a government conspiracy that intends to control your thoughts and actions. This is the kind of belief you should seek an outside opinion on from somebody who is in a position to assess your mental health.

I don't take it as an insult. But I'm perfectly sane. Its interesting that you attempt to smear me though rather than engaging meaningfully with me - but I understand and would have done the same in the past.

If I provide you some evidence, will you take a look and let me know what you think?

Hello, I had a look. The video seemed to mostly chat about how it's implausible for someone to lose the nose pads on their glasses and keep wearing them. This is false. I had one pair of glasses that was quite comfortable even after the nose pads fell off. He also says it's implausible to have a nose pad, then not have it a month later, which is what one would generally expect if the thing was lost in the intervening month.

He talks a lot about how someone looks different under different lighting conditions and says that video compression artifacts are CGI anomalies.

My overall impression is that you should see a doctor about this and ask for antipsychotics. I don't know how to tell people that in a way that works. One of my best friends became schizophrenic and spent years studying the luminiferous aether (this is not a thing) before he died for schizophrenia-related reasons. So it's painful for me to read this stuff.

I'd be willing to chat more. Please reach me at the email in my profile.

Thanks for taking a look, and I guess thanks for your concern. You know though, I do object to your raising the mental health issue here. What you are really doing is failing to engage with an argument, and attempting to smear me. That's your call I guess.

However, as you are advising me, I'll share my advice with you from the other side of the 'chasm'. Be aware that there is a possibility that your world can be turned upside down, and that things you were told were true turn out to be lies and manipulations. I think that the 'great reset' that has started will result in a very different world in the next decade.

My thesis is that the vast majority of people have been educated to believe a certain set of beliefs. In the past this was religion, nowadays it is science. The problem is that most people do not confirm anything for themselves! Nothing. They accept the opinion of experts. So they do not validate anything; they have beliefs masquerading as knowledge. And in fact, science is just a new religion. (I'm not talking about the scientific method, which is valid - just what is presented as science.)

Impossible you will say, people don't believe in science they know! But the trick is easily done. If you want to check another 3min video out you will see what I mean: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nFLs6nufCj4

To put it bluntly, most people have been so mind controlled, from cradle to grave, for generations, they cannot even conceive that what their situation is.

I'll leave you with this Krishnamurti quote, regards to your mental health: "It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society."

All the best.

Sir/madam, I also was unconvinced of the conclusions the videos put forward. To give a decent hint, the images are definitely mirrored, take a look at his hair when comparing. Just some food for your thought, isn't it also a form of mind control to believe most people are mind controlled? What forms of control do you open yourself to with that belief? Try viewing these videos with the same skepticism you view Mainstream Media. They are similar.

Well, you know they really do use CGI on TV. This was live news footage of the budget shown on UK tv - look at the red case: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5cDYKXMkSRs

The Snowden videos I posted, are a fairly dry analysis of some of the issues relating to the footage of Snowden. Its all on TV - its not real life, but I think the narrator raises some fair issues. We can agree to disagree.

I'm not sure I understand your point that its a form of mind control to believe that most people are mind controlled.

The way I would express it - as a hardcore skeptic - is that I make my own mind up, given the evidence. If the evidence isn't there, I won't accept or deny whatever is being presented. However, it seems to me that most are hardcore believers. If they are told something, or see it on TV they believe it. There is no critical analysis, no requirement of proof, no researching of evidence. Just belief.

That belief in acceptance in authority, not of evidence, is what I am calling mind control.

I may well be wrong - no problem - but I am making up my own mind and evaluating the evidence. In the absence of verifiable evidence, I'm NOT on auto-believe mode, or mind-control mode. I'm on auto-hoax mode, I suspect a trick. And in fact, although it is initially uncomfortable, the world makes far more sense that way.

Cheers.

I understand auto-hoax mode, I just hope you use it on youtube videos as often as on MSM. Public figures being CGIed should raise a good amount of flags no?

I do not take anything on trust.
