Topic: watch list

In the movie, Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1970's version), Jeff Goldbloom's character says- "dont call the police, they'll put you on the master list". A very paranoid movie (its been remade several times, with the new one, Invasion, hitting theaters in August and starring Nicole Kidman and Daniel Craig (007, James Bond), it was made in 2005-2006 and has been pushed back several times and delayed to hit movie theaters, they brought in the Wachowski Brothers to polish it up some)

I wonder how many of the Noble Realm members are being watched?

I wonder if there are agents peeping in?

I suppose it doesnt matter by now, one must have the courage to speak out and share ideas and theories and experiences.

I have to say, I am on a watch list, I know this and want to comment on it.

During my travels around the U.S., I would stay mostly in Holiday Inn Express and while I was in my room, I could hear agents/spies (from which branch of service I dont know) talking and commenting on my thoughts outside my door and adjacent to my room.  They even called me by my original name (before I changed it), and they would sometimes call me names or use scare tactics.  I am also sure there are satanic transdimensional forces watching and mentally assaulting me trying to scare me with their advanced tech (in Petaluma CA they woke me up with a loud truck honk at 5am and injected the sound of the alien in the Swarzenegger movie Predator).  In Bandon OR they put a really awful smell into the room which was like some kind of gas, its purpose I dont know other than to scare me (I had been watching C-Span and could have sworn the agents there were aware I was watching because I heard their voices comment that- he's watching us, it was live t.v.).  The t.v. movie Revelations starring Natasha McElhone and Bill Pulman comes to mind where the scientist gets mixed up with the satanists and at the airport the ticket clerk says something ominous like he's being followed/watched everywhere he goes...

This monitoring has been happening to me all my life, and more intensely since 2001.

When I went through Canada into Ontario and Thunder Bay, the Canadian Border Guards said (I overheard them), he's a psychic vet (after they scanned my passport).  When i went back into the U.S. via Michigan, the U.S. Border Guards scanned my passport and told me to drive into this garage with two doors (which they closed once my car was inside).  I did not have many belongings except my bag and clothes and medicines for schizophrenia, and they said "you seem to be well organized for a schizophrenic", and after 15min let me go.  Once while trying to enter British Columbia they wouldn't let me in... and this was when I was experiencing much paranormal activity against me.

In Half Moon Bay I saw white govt cars with govt license plates parked outside my hotel room and I could hear the agents next door say "should we bring him in?", "no, its a movie and music industry thing".

In Albany NY everything was so weird I had to leave in the middle of the night.

In Burns OR I heard helicopters near the motel and had to leave in the middle of the night.

I could go on about other places and experiences but I dont remember them right this moment.

I have heard them call me an angel, saint, wanderer, devastator, demon, secret agent, psycho, weirdo, and other labels.

Why all this attention and concern and monitoring?

Surely not for just posting on a few different websites?

Surely not for claiming I'm a saint or angel?

Maybe, because I said there would be a Tsunami like catastrophe in the U.S. a month before Hurricane Katrina and an attack on a city right before 7-7 in Britain.  Because i said there might possibly be an asteroid impact or pole shift someday, or nuclear explosion somewhere in the world?

Or maybe that's why.

Maybe they have to monitor people like me who predict some things?

Maybe the watchers are watching a watcher?

I read somewhere that Saint Origen, a Christian mystic and saint from ancient times, claimed angels can incarnate into humans...

So, maybe, we are being watched because of our spiritual origins?

Or because in 1991, when I exited the military at the Presidio, this was my first feeling of being followed?  I did declare conscientious objector status during the Gulf War due to spiritual reasons and concerns (no killing of a human being) and nonetheless was discharged honorably.

Its gotten to the point that I dont really mind the constant following and commenting upon my thoughts and actions anymore, like what Cristopher in the t.v. series The Soprano's says- about the agent in the car outside the diner, "they pop in and out, its fun".

I have had so many bizarre occurances and synchronicities/coincidences in my life that maybe I am some sort of test subject or player?

It goes on and on.

Well, thats enough for now.

Just thought I would expose their machinations.

Re: watch list

Something strange happened to me this weekend. I was doing a search for images on google and needed to host an image on imageshack. When I pasted the file name and pressed "enter," the screen went white, which its never done before, and I heard a British woman's voice coming from my speakers!!!

She was listing numbers! Underneath her voice was a weird electronically warped lower male voice that was reading from the news...I think...it was talking about weather, hurricanes, tonardoes and other weather related anomolies.

I was so scared I shut down my computer, but now I wonder what it was! Something hacked into my computer or I hacked into something else, accidentally! My first thoughts were, I better not listen to this in case it contains a trigger code, because too many times I've found my eyes locked to the screen unable to look away when ads come on or the computer is shutting down....Anyway, it really freaked me out.

Erm, ads as in advertisements on websites you visit, or other forms of ads (pop-ups on desktop for example)? And, do you use Windows or Linux? If the former for both, I know of ways for getting rid of advertisements entirely as well as a host of programs that will let you see everything your computer is doing (I use everything I'd list), if you want. smile

I've never told anyone about this....

thanks for the reply,

yeah, my computer has acted strange before too (its creepy)

yeah, there are alot of strange buildings in various cities out there...

mon amie:

I am 38yrs old and have always liked certain t.v. shows and movies... they pass the time and you can zone out from boredom and escape mentally, besides they are fun, I do not watch hardly any of the popular t.v. programs today (besides the Sopranos and Deadwood) and TCM-Turner Classic Movies (to see old movies and how they reflected their past era's).  I have always been a movie buff (but I dont go out to theaters much, instead watch dvd's).  I try to be selective and balance my pursuits. Thanks for the concern for us military veterans, there is still dislike from civilians of all ages towards returning or former service men and women.  Its another way we are divided and polarized in this country, rich/poor, military/civilian, have/have nots, science/religion, this religion/that religion, this culture/that culture, democrats/republicans, insiders/outsiders, known/unknown, victimizers/victims, this state or city or county/that state or city or county etc etc etc and there are other dualities I am sure...

Re: watch list

Shoogie, and keentraveler,

I will comment .  I wrote a thread, In walk the talk, where I felt , about the history of humanity and how we
fell 'in' consciousness'.  The reason I wrote was that Miles wrote an essay (a sad story with comical humour to get our attention and it got deleted.

""""keentraveler said:  Maybe they have to monitor people like me who predict some things?""""""

I feel that we are all capable of such.  I also re-read what you wrote about your passport
and the comments that the Canadian Border Folks made....'psychic vet' and your schizophrenia.

I have a friend who is too.  In fact my Dad has manic depression and takes medication.  He 's 78 or so now, but in
the hospital getting blood tranfusion due to the lithium he took through out the years and with time it, F***** his kidneys.  Mind you
though, he didn't drink lots of water but certainly lots of Pepsi throughout  the years.

The reason I tell you  this is that Any one with any type of physical discomfort that needs medication, I STRONGLY
recommend to also get Acupressure
.  And strongly urge you to learn about anatomy/physiology/bio-chemicals in the body.
and Chinese Medicine.  Rather than watching TV, etc...
As you wrote:""""""""""""""""""
I am 38yrs old and have always liked certain t.v. shows and movies... they pass the time and you can zone out from boredom and escape mentally, besides they are fun, I do not watch hardly any of the popular t.v. programs today"""""""""

Yep, Yep, Yep,....we are all the time being watched, and gossiped about etc...
I do understand how some humans feel being watched, etc.  This is been going on for so, so , so , long,
that after awhile, you come to realize the Importance of your LIfe.  In other words, we move on, and
we do begin to lose interest in the Secret Government, etc.  We are not a threat per se, but some folks, who
are so mentally controlled, be it by the up-bringing, the bibles, the korans, the atheist, the communists, and
everything else imaginable that humanity as whole has created....

Yes, I 'm aware too about the grays, repts, and the fear that the Mass Media  creates regarding of all this.
It can become so very 'paralyzing' to one's purpose on Earth , Terra, PachaMama...

  T.V. is one of them, and one-way reporting journalism, etc.
I do not watch T.V. for over 10-and more years.  If I go to someone's house, sure, i'll watch a show, hopefully
they like the Geography Network.... etc.

Also, I listen to CBC Radio ( in the wee hours of the morning, they also broadcast from other countries)
and the College Radio Station.  Some Real Reporting, and cool stuff that others folks do
while being here on Earth.

T.V. and other media are paid by those advertizement that really doesn't allow a 'mass awakening' to the pain that
Humanity is in.  It's easy to cover -up the physical pain (cells record all emotions that you have ever felt...

so keentraveler, I'm glad you're back and hopefully you can find a job/ a passion that you
would like to do...we are so multi-talented that it's worth the time to keep on learning, and seeking it out.



Shoogie,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,I've travelled across the United States...The cities are basically gray and concrete

and boring architecture....  You mentioned Nightmares,:  it's why I don't even watch TV...when I was a kid,
the nighlty nightmares.
I do truly believe that the Non-Physical Forces a re capable of
controlling us.  WHAT   I  LEARNT is mentally to caste them out...

Anyhow, I was just asked to sigh-off here....I use the free internet at the employment centre, and they
ha, ha, just realized I ain't doing any Job search....

(I don't have the internet at home, no T.V. no cable, no phone)....So keep on truckin'....
Martial Arts, that would be something else to do....

Got's to run, and use the washroom, and be on my way, in Beautiful Sooke, BC...Beautiful here, great nature
and Real Cougars, that i don't want to pet....

Re: watch list

MonAmie,

Thank you for your concern and suggestions, I appreciate any input.

I try to turn off the t.v. as much as I can and avoid commercials.

I understand your views, thanks.

Re: watch list

Some might say I'm jumping on the bandwagon here but I was given courage to tell the story because of keentraveler's words and because it is true.

On June 22 I was running late for work because I was making a big post on stumbleupon and had not finished in time. It was hard to peel away from the PC because I was watching the number of people who were visiting the page... in about 20 minutes there had been 100 hits. It was like this secret thrill inside my chest. I could feel a hundred set of eyes reading the material. It was a cool feeling knowing that you can reach such a wide audience in such a short time! And what was it that I was posting on? A Hollywood movie that I submitted to  my version of psychoanalysis; Zooloander. It was great to see that 100 new people would get to have a look and possibly give me feedback or even a lead. Time was ticking.  I grabbed keys and my cell phone. It is important to note here that my cell phone is new. It was given to me on my birthday back in May. I activated it, charged it up and left it at home for nearly the whole month of June. I do not like cell phones and I know how miserable all your lives would be without yours, but I don't care for them. I learned when pagers came along that they were tracking devices more than anything else. A cell phone is ten times as bad because they store your voice patterns and can replicate your voice to anyone to say anything. They can create a conversation that you never had.
(same thing with X-box Live except with X-Box they can get statistics off of your reaction times, your I.Q. and more)  but yet again I digress. I was late so I hopped into the car and sped off to work.

After a 30 minute drive I gave the guards my I.D. to swipe then I preceded to my place of work, parked the car and as I was unlocking the front door I could hear the phone ringing. I picked it it up and said something to the effect of
"********* ******* Center, this is Bhang how can I help you?"
There was no response but there was some type of static sound, I was waiting for the click of the hang up. After a few seconds no click and then the static cleared. I could here the typing of keys, like someone at a computer. I repeated
"********* ******* Center, this is Bhang how can I help you?"
I could still here the typing but then could hear two older men speaking in the background. I tried to stay as quite as possible listening for clues. The two men talking were in the distance and I could not make out even a word of what they said. As I listened the typing abruptly stopped then a third voice closer to the phone started to whistle. I knew this person whistling was listening to me listen to him... then the background noise started. It was repetitive and at first I thought it was a tv in the background but after I figured out what the sound was I listened especially close. I TUNED IN to the noise. It was the sound of marching boots, in rhythm. The man continued to whistle (I could tell it was a mans whistle) then the typing began again. I excluded the notion that it was a tv. If it was a tv then there would have been some narration but I listened to the boots for over a full minute the whole time the man whistled and I mean I listened hard . I could hear the occasional boot fall just a moment before all the other boots would come stomping  down, no narration no sound looping just the continuious drum of boots on concrete, marching into the future. An army marching somewhere with three men at a desk or office perhaps, calling me... I "tuned in" to the best of my ability and that is when I got blasted by the most alien and foreign sound to ever penetrate my ear. It was like static but had this super high pitched wave coursing through it, with a mid-range, monotone lull seeping through. ARGH! They were trying to brain wash me on the phone! I finally spoke and said "These tactics do not intimidate me" and I slammed the phone down.

I must say I am intimidated and have not seriously written anything for over a year now... they got to me or I'm under heavy mind control. I burn with fire against these people and could write multiple books against them but all I seem to do is post articles written by someone else... when will I stop cowering under these manipulators and finally take back what is mine and help others do the same? Just how far can a person go posting on forums anyway? After a week or two they get pushed back and forgotten about and are never heard from again. Even if a thread is dug up from some distant past it doesn't change the world dose it? MAybe all of us here who think we are exposing the manipulators are actually providing a service to them by clogging up the pipes of truth with our opinions and thoughts instead of REAL ACTIONS in the REAL WORLD. If you people reading this are anything like me then we all spend WAY TOO MUCH TIME ON THE INTERNET. I work in close association with middle schools and high schools and can tell you that these computers are stealing the life away from these kids. I remember 3 months off from school and I was gone! I was in the woods or at the river, or over at the park getting stoned and playing frisbee golf with hot chicks in bikini tops. Soaking up the rays of the sun and feeling the breeze on our backs. The millions of colors dancing off the tress and the clouds morphing overhead... it seems now these kids never want to leave their rooms and if they do they are plugged into some device such as a laptop, or PSP or some new I-POD shit... they stay inside and miss out on what it is to experience the outside world.
Soon these kids will be so distracted that when asked what will they are willing to stand up and fight for the only answer they will come up with is "Less lag time". Things like sovereignty, liberty, independence and freedom will be words only recognized because someone made a game about waring with others for that very same sovereignty, liberty, independence and freedom...

And people think I'm nuts...

That must be how they had those people calling their loved ones from the "hijacked" planes on 9/11.

Re: watch list

I'm really sorry to hear about that, Bhang.  Your posts were always so analytical and insightful.  A lot of your "fans" have wondered what happened.

The figure from a detailed Kaiser Family Foundation study was that kids spend an average of 6 hours 23 minutes every day hooked into some form of media.  Of that, about 4 hours is for the TV.  Some (I think 25%) of that time is spent multi-tasking, or multi-distracting.

BHANG!

Wow........I don't even know where to begin................In my book I talk about a near-same experience, the "marching boots" on the phone thing.  It's happened to me twice.

I also talk about being blasted with this loud, totally crazy noise thing, like what you describe.

This hasn't happened recently - the marching boots was back in late 2001 to early 2002, the blast of noise was back in '98.   But to see you talking about the same thing.....wow!!!!

I'll just cut and paste from my book to save having to re-type it all over again.  I've highlighted the stuff that's relevant to what you posted, as well as including the other examples just in case you're curious to read:

my book wrote:

Strange voicemails and phone call interference.  My first experience with “anomalous phone happenings” occurred while still roommating with my brother in Portland, approximately January 2002.  I dialed into my cell phone voicemail one morning while at work and found a message that went on and on for several minutes….the sound of marching jackboots.  That’s it.  Nothing else.  Barely anybody even had my personal phone number, and the few of people who did wouldn’t do something like that.  It was bizarre, and actually creeped me out.  If I’m not mistaken, this message actually happened TWICE. But I wasn’t documenting things back then, so I don’t have dates.  But the same day that I received the first message, my brother claimed that the Nissan he was driving, which I’d given him for free back in California, had caught fire, or experienced some kind of explosion within the engine that actually blew off the hood of the car, causing a fire.  So the car was gone, burned, and had been towed away.  This in itself was a set up, attempting to cause a situation of my already penniless and unemployed brother to have to further rely on me to keep taking care of him in life.  I have zero proof that this really happened to Joe’s car…but he did tell me the story before even hearing about the jackboots phone message. 

The next anomalous message occurred after moving to Florida, in about April of 2002.  It was strange, like a whooshing wind noise, and these random, weird, far away sounding blips, and finally the distorted, possibly electronic voice of a little girl saying "Bye!" and hitting one of the number buttons on the phone.  Tom figured out it was the 9 button.  What it all meant, I had no idea, but it was bizarre, and I’d never heard anything like that before.  I had loads of “stuff” going on during this time, so it fits right in.  I still have a copy of this message, and Tom has run it through all sorts of filter programs to see what he could find. 

A third really odd one was a sentence fragment featuring a man with a southern drawl saying, "...manufactured hearts and kidneys and...hello?!....and limbs and things." That’s it, message ends.  Still have a copy of that one as well.  Some people may be dismissive of these messages as being wrong numbers or crank calls, but the interesting thing is they only ever happened during those crazy times when I had a lot of negative abduction activity occurring, and when I was in a vulnerable position in life.  So, that’s an important factor in determining whether or not it as a sidetrack circus diversion/fear and paranoia generator event. 

Then there’s phone call interference, which has happened to me on four separate occasions that I can remember, with only two people in my life - once while talking to Joe back in 1999, and three times with Tom.  Phone interference as I’ve experienced it wasn’t for the purpose of wrecking the phone call to get us to hang up, but rather to "announce their presence," let us know we were being listened to, and possibly instill fear too, I’m sure.  When it happened to me and Joe, the noise scared the crap out of me.  One second we were taking, the next there was a very sudden and loud blaring crazy noise that caused me to jump and pull the phone away from my ear, heart racing, nerves standing on end.  It went on for a good ten seconds too.  It’s actually very similar to what happens in the movie “Mothman Prophesies,” where “Indrid Cold” creates a blasting noise that causes Richard Gere to jump and pull the phone away from his ear.  My incident happened in ’99 though, two years before the movie. With Tom, it’s always been like distorted electronic beeping....

I don't mention this to get you or anybody worked up - I mean, the fact is, this stuff doesn't happen to me anymore because I no longer care.  They do this sort of nonsense when they know you'll get all worked up by it, going in circles, actually caring about "Who's behind it!  What does it mean!!! What are they doing!!!"  I just got to a point where it was like, "I don't have time for this crap."  Even with the entities coming around.  Same deal.  Got to a point where I was waving them off and rolling over and going back to sleep, completely bored and blase about it all.  yawn.  When you stop caring, and they'll stop harassing.

Amen to that.  I haven't owned a cell phone since I moved to Florida in 2002.  I can't stand the whole technology culture of our society, every other person out there with a fricking cell phone in their ear, or ear plugs in their ear so they look like they're talking to themselves, this need to constantly be yammering away to somebody at all times about pointless mundane nothing, even while being rung up by cashiers at the store or while sitting at a restaurant eating a meal.  God forbid we have some silence and actually face ourselves and go within.  Oh no.  Can't have that.  NOISE! NOISE! NOISE!  TALK! TALK! TALK!  DISTRACT! DISTRACT! DISTRACT!   I absolutely hate it, and seeing people with cell phones in their ears makes me angry at this point.  I want to grab the phones right out of their ears and throw them under the nearest moving car or stomp on them.   wink

Re: watch list

Bhang and Lyra,  I've also had one of those strange phone calls on my cell phone.  It happened last year as I was making a post here at NR, and I was so freaked out, I included it in my post about Brain Hemisphere Vibrations.  It sounded like some man was droning on in the background of some board room or something, but there wasn't any marching boots that I can remember.  I said, "Hello??" twice, and there was no response, but before I could finish saying "Hello???" the third time, a very loud and strange static-like sound was blared through the phone.  It sounded like someone held something up to the phone, that's how loud it was!  And it wasn't only static, but there were what sounded like frequency generator tones, from high to low range, but all at once.  It startled me so badly I didn't know what to do, but right after that sound was blared through the phone, the caller hung up with an audible "CLICK".  Oh yeah, and no one outside of my immediate family knows my cell phone number.  I rarely use it, and mainly have it for emergencies if I'm taking a trip.  Oddly enough, the phone number of the caller was a local fitness club, but I never got up the nerve to call them back.  I highly doubt that I would have found out any information that could have explained the strange call to me, though.

That was the only time that something so bizarre has happened with my cell phone, but our house phone has had all sorts of odd things happening with it.  It used to drive my mom crazy when I was younger.  Always some kind of clicking sounds or loud tones and hearing parts of other people's conversations, volume changes, etc.  We live in the country and our telephone access box is on the front of our property, so we see when someone comes to service it.  When I was younger, there was always some person fiddling with that phone box (at least twice a week!), and when my parents questioned the person, they were defensive and  insisted that my parents must have called the phone company for repair (but they never did).  I can't imagine what on earth anyone would want with our ordinary family, and we don't even know anyone "important" either.  It's always seemed so silly to me that anyone would want to tap our phones!  It seems to have simmered down quite a bit since my mom died in '97, but that cell phone call was just last year, and there's still some odd clicking anomalies on our house phone from time to time.

I don't let it bother me, though.  I always say, "If they want something from me, let them come and knock on my door.  I'm not doing anything illegal, and I don't have any knowledge that could be construed as "a threat to national security".... So f*ck 'em!"

Oh, I just remembered one other very strange phone call I remember happening when I was a senior in high school.  It must've been the weekend because I was up late, watching Dr. Who reruns on PBS.  It was sometime after 11:30 pm when the house phone rang.  My parents went to sleep a couple hours before, and they forbid any of our friends to call after 8 or 9 pm, but I didn't have any friends that would be calling me, so I wasn't worried about getting in trouble.  I didn't want the ringing to wake up my parents, so I grabbed the phone and said, "Hello?"  But there was only heavy breathing, but it didn't sound like a crank... it sounded like someone who was huffin' and puffin' from being out of breath.  So I asked again, "hello?"... And a few seconds later, the breathing on the other end seemed to ease a bit, and a soft, male voice that sounded very distant, hesitantly and timidly said, "h-hello?".... So being the idiot I am, I repeated again, "Hello?"  And after another short pause his voice came distantly again, "....p-please h-help me...."  I said, "Who are you?"  He said, "Michael.... please help...."  He sounded scared, as if running from someone or something.  But before I could continue the conversation, my mother came on the line, sounding like a pissed-off New Yorker, and yelled, "WHO IS THIS, AND WHY ARE YOU CALLING AT THIS TIME OF NIGHT!!!!"  When she found out I was already on the line, she began yelling at me about having my friends call this late, and she never did believe me that it wasn't someone I knew.  Unfortunately, she must've scared the caller away, but that phone call has always haunted me.  The line sounded a bit static-y when he spoke, and he sounded so distant that I wonder if it might have been one of those anomalous things, like a phone call from the spiritual plane or some other dimension or world... or if it was just a prank.  *shrug*   I've heard of stuff like that happening before, and it actually happened to us once... The day after my mom died, the sheriff called our house and insisted that a middle-aged sounding woman had made a 911 call from our residence, and that she sounded frantic and she kept repeatedly saying "HELP ME!!"  Of course, no one from our house had called, but my mother did just pass away the day before in a tragic manner, so we've always thought it might have been her.  Anyway, that's kind of off-topic, but thought I'd throw it in because it was a phone anomaly.
