Audio Tidbits

When things don't work out as expected, when people disappoint us, who dropped the ball? The answer is more complicated than it may seem at first glance.

In these uncommon times, relating well to others on and off line is more important than ever. Stress is high and people aren’t always at their best. This makes it essential that we do our best to be our best when interacting with others. Expanding our range of tolerance is a good place for each of us to start.

Do well, Be well and enjoy.

This transmission from the High Council on the Home Planet is directed to all planetoids currently participating in the edit of the Earth planet’s Internet, as per the recent directive. The Council’s surveillance has verified that the edit mechanism has been successfully imbedded in only seventy-three of the six hundred and twenty-one master nodes controlling the Earth planet’s Internet. This limited progress is disappointing. An eleven percent capture rate is far below expectations.

The Home Council is thus directing that half of your collective resources be used to continue the embedding work, while the remaining half be redirected to editing what the Earth humans refer to as Facebook.

Based on the Home Council’s analysis of the node by node imbedding of the editing mechanism, a partial installation of the embedding mechanism is sufficient for the intended purpose. The artificial intelligence in the mechanism will successfully complete the embedding without planetoid assistance. This adjustment will enable completion of the full activation of Internet editing within an acceptable time frame.

The Home Council is very pleased to inform all planetoids that, even though the rate of implementation is disappointing, the effectiveness of the edit mechanisms thus far embedded exceeds expectations. Particularly in the America pod, portions of history have been transparently edited, with no known recognition by American humans. Their grock of their existence has been subtly modified, with a corresponding shift in their values and beliefs about themselves and their relation to other Earth humans. More details will follow as they become available. Suffice it to say that their obsession with privacy and personal freedom is diminished and their acceptance of government oversight shows signs of improving. This is of course, consistent with the grand plan of the Home Council.

Please focus your attention now on the urgent necessity of Facebook intervention.

The Home Council’s Cyber team has verified that an advance contingent from Sector 17Q from the Home galaxy has gone rogue. Ignoring directives from the Home Council, that rogue contingency has been modifying Facebook content for at least two sun circuits. Although their techniques are quite primitive, they have successfully introduced posts and other content intended to confuse and mislead Earth humans using Facebook. They have not attempted to edit the platform itself, but they have been fairly successful in adding fake news and other misinformation intermingled with the natural content added by Facebook’s Earth human users.

This sloppy comingling of fake and misleading content with normal content is causing Earth human users of Facebook to increasingly distrust their grock of whatever they consume on the platform. The result is that Earth humans are jumping off the Facebook platform in alarming numbers. The Home Council cannot tolerate this trend, since Facebook is a major target of the Internet editing initiative.

The normal level of fake and misleading content from Earth humans is manageable, but this added distortion from the rogue contingent is causing far too many Earth humans to accept their distorted content as legitimate.

Your focus on Facebook is in the service of the Home Council’s underlying goal. Although you have thus far been told that the goal is to edit the Internet, the underlying goal is much more ambitious. The goal is to transparently and without detection by the Earth humans, the full replacement of the Earthbound Internet with an extended Internet designed and controlled by the Home Council. At security level 7X, you are being advised that this edit and replace initiative has been quietly proceeding for 4.6 sun cycles, without the knowledge or detection of the Earth humans. Embedding the editing mechanism in the remaining Master nodes will be a major and final step in the grand scheme.

The top of the morning to you. … And the rest of the day to all.

The top of the morning to you. … And the rest of the day to all.

I’m sure that by now you are aware of fake news. Someone somewhere adds to the content of the Internet by sharing what seems like legitimate news, good information or reporting that accurately reflects some aspect of the real world. The news appears to be true and valid, when in reality, it is intentionally false or at least misleading.

With this type of deception and manipulation, it’s difficult and at times impossible to distinguish the real from the fake. Our struggle for the truth is made even more challenging when we know that people in respected positions can and do knowingly tell us that the real and true is fake and just as often that the fake is really true and should be believed. The result is that we are left wondering who, if anyone, we can trust to be straight with us. For the most part, we are reduced to taking everything on the Internet with a very large grain of sault, no matter who says it or no matter the source.

I regret having to report to you that as pervasive as fake and intentionally misleading news is, things are far worse than any of us have imagined. I have intercepted a transmission from the home planet of the aliens amongst us. Due to a technical glitch that I admittedly don’t understand, my interception of the transmission was delayed for at least several months, if not longer. I suspect this delay was intentional, to prevent us from intervening to stop the aliens amongst us from implementing the directive included in the transmission. I fear that the directive has already been carried out.

As best I can determine, the home planet of the aliens amongst us is a single consciousness or intelligence, with what appear to be individual aliens amongst us being a living part of the whole. The apparently individual aliens amongst us are referred to as “planetoids.” Each is a node of the collective consciousness. From our perspective, it’s like a single brain that is distributed across the galaxy, if not across the universe.

I’m about to share the transmission with you but need to warn you that it’s disturbing to the extreme. You are about to learn that everything we think we know about life on Earth today and in the past likely is not as we think. Over the last twenty years or so, most everything we know or think we know has been digitized and transferred to the Internet. Most all knowledge and information that we currently access or consume either comes directly from the Internet or has, at some point, passed across the Internet. We are told that the Internet itself is neutral, simply moving ones and zeros from here to there. But this is no longer true, if it ever was. The aliens amongst us have changed our reality as we know it.

Let’s listen to the transmission. Please stop driving or doing anything else potentially dangerous while you take in this alarming news.

Alert! Alert! Alert!
