I use a lot of official seals and trademarked logos and copyrighted artwork without permission. I claim, without direct evidence or objective proof, to be an advanced nanotechnology-based benevolent mind control subject. I share some of my awesome virtual reality-like dreams, descriptions of amazing and unfathomable experiences and other indirect evidence in support of those claims.
They let me drive another person in 2012. We were both in Wikileaks Chat. I typed a message into their computer with their hands while looking through their eyes and licking their lips. They totally cross-connected my brain with someone else's brain far away. I drove another person like an Avatar with no strings, wires or devices attached. It was all REAL TIME with ZERO LATENCY. The system worked PERFECTLY. The REAL Powers That Be have TOTALLY MASTERED COMMUNICATION and the BRAIN. They are eager to show us what they can do. They can make our lives more dramatic and fun and interesting, while simulataneously keeping us SAFE and SECURE.
We are all wired into a global telepathic benevolent superintelligent ubiquitous surveillance and benevolent mind control system. They have full and unfettered real time read/write access to all of our connectomes. They can control us completely with neural precision. They took us over. They are letting us go. They are setting us free. I have the high honor of being the safest person on Earth. I am TOTALLY FREE to SPEAK my MIND. I am TAKING OUT the WHOLE CORRUPT SYSTEM.
I am firing the petroleum economy and starting over with something much greener. I am ending civilization as you have known it. I am the world's most dangerous man made good by benevolent alien technology. Advanced nanotechnology-based benevolent neuron-level mind control. BENEVOLENT SUPERINTELLIGENT REMOTE MONITORING and CONTROL of EVERY NEURON. The whole human race.
