I think the voices might be real, but they're not what everyone thinks.

Sometimes when I'm having a late morning lie in, I can hear something. It's too
indistinct to actually make out words, but it has a flavor like American morning
drive-time radio or TV morning "News".

I think one of my neighbors may have the radio or TV on and there's some kind of
acoustic channel that the sound reflects to my bedroom. And that's part of why I
think it's real, because I only hear it when it's fairly quiet outside and when
I'm laying in that one spot in my bed.

I think there are more of these so called "whisper galleries" than most people
realize.

Got both Pfizer shots and wi fi is super fast now.

Saw on one of those tinfoil hat sites the other day that they are now
tracking us awake and even asleep, I think they are thinking of santa

that's much more efficient. :-/

Are you sure they aren't thinking of the tracking devices we all carry
these days?
Do these shit for brains not realize that if the big bad guvmint wants to
track us,we are already willingly giving them the ability to do it?
The level of fucktardedness these morons show is really beyond belief.

I find their optimism and naivety charming and rather refreshing.

It must be nice to believe that after centuries of warfare, slaughter,
espionage and bitter hatred between our countries, our political systems and
our economics methods these great men and women, our leaders, their
assistants, civil services, militaries, media, medical, financial and legal
establishments, have finally put aside the incompetence, greed, infighting,
jealousy, personal ambition and overweening pride and egotism that have
previously been their defining characteristics in order to cooperate
selflessly and in secret to carry out the most spectacularly complex plot in
history with the greatest success imaginable so that they can secretly track
the rest of us as we go about our business of eating, sleeping, fucking,
farting, spending money on junk, and watching hours of shit on the TV all day
and all night.

Fortunately one man has cottoned on to their demonic plan and will save us,
because he selflessly has all our best interests at heart. Won’t be long now
before President Trump is at last reinstated.

It's hardly a secret that THEY can track any individual they find to be "of
interest".

They don't track everyone. They don't need to. But they CAN track ANYONE.

If you somehow end up on their shit list, they can track you and they can
backtrack you. Hell, the Panopticon was invented in the U.K.

I've read there are more surveillance cameras in London than there are in the
whole rest of the world. Computers and data storage get cheaper every day.

How do you think they figured out who the two guys who attacked Skirpal were?
... and how the attack was carried out?

I suppose so, though I can't imagine why anyone would want to be mocked as

It's because there's still not enough people mocking them.

And they get REALLY offended (and OFFENSIVE) when you do mock them.

The good news is that this might be fairly easy to confirm.  I don’t know if the mic of your cell phone would be sensitive enough to pick up the sounds, but it might.

There is also the case that the human brain is amazing at filtering signal out of noise. Unfortunately it is so good that it can find signal where there is none, so there might just be some noise that is close enough to be like speech that your brain thinks there is speech there for it to filter out.

Why would I need to confirm it. It's just something odd I noticed. If you want
to confirm it, find your own voices.

If it was signal processing in the brain it wouldn't go away when I change
position in the bed.

I wouldn't have noticed it at all if it wasn't just at that one spot and only at
certain times of the day. It's almost always between sunrise & noon, except for
when it's late, Late at night.

Whoever owns the radio/TV sometimes has insomnia as bad as mine.

The pattern is what intrigues me. Talk interspersed with music that sounds like
commercials & occasional (laugh track) laughter.

Also sometimes there's more than one voice like they're having some kind of
on-air conversation. Whoever has the radio/TV is doesn't listen to the same
station all the time. I can hear a difference in the musical interludes.

I've been told by audiologists that I have particularly acute hearing, well
above average (even after all those years in the Army).

Hell, there's got to be something about me that's above average, and I guess
hearing is it.
