That's an unusual name, like a character in a work of fiction, isn't it? Like "Remington Steele" or something.
For the last two years of Obama's term (2015-2017), Ashton Carter was the Secretary of Defense and John Forbes Kerry was the Secretary of State.
It is just a coincidence, right?
You know, now I'm really wondering if this indeed was an AI psyop and I'll tell you why. First, I've noticed that when people interact with AI, they read meaning "in" to whatever is there. It's sort of like a crazy person having a conversation with a Magic 8 Ball.
I listened to an hour-long interview with "Ashton Forbes" on "The Unexplained" yesterday, and what I noticed is that his narrative is not a narrative at all. That is, you might say that a narrative is a description of a set of logically connected events, but that's not what he presented. That idea gets lost in a rapid-fire delivery of details.
For example, he talks about lithium-ion batteries and people seeing a plane on fire in the sky. Minutes later, he's talking about military satellites recording orbs teleporting the plane away. The thing is, he never even attempts to connect these two outlandish events.
Did the orbs set fire to the batteries in the cargo hold? Were they just waiting around for the next plane to catch on fire? Is the fire mere unrelated happenstance? If teleporting the plane was to rescue it, where are the passengers? Why isn't the plane on fire in the teleportation video, when these battery fires are notoriously hard to extinguish?
The point is, it seems as if something meaningless--as it is with AI-produced content--has been put forward for people to read whatever meaning they desire "in" to it.
Definitely a possibility, although it can't be discounted that modernity has harmed people's attention spans and disjointed their thought processes to the point where many people actually do speak like that.
However, you would expect more from someone claiming to have that type of knowledge. Either way, we're heading into some uncharted territories and it makes me want to just fill the Internet with total garbage to help sabotage these things if just a little
I would hang in there, stay in the fight. I think we're getting closer and there's more water pushing against the dam than there's ever been.
Just taking the MH370 example, I've noticed two quite distinct kinds of posts on r/conspiracy, or more specifically posts with distinct sets of comments. The posts themselves are innocent enough, along the lines of, "Whatever happened to MH370?"
One kind is absolutely, completely overrun with shills pushing any and every kind of nonsense, including this "Ashton Forbes" line. Sometimes I'll post the Diego Garcia info and I've even been attacked by the OP himself! That leads me to believe the post is either targeted for cognitive warfare or completely set up by them (and why wouldn't it be?).
But there are others that are "unmolested", and they are full of solid info: Diego Garcia, Philip Wood, MH17, all the good stuff. That tells me there are plenty of awake people out there that "They" are working hard to drown out.
Who wins in this battle? Well, one indication is that They have had to step up Their game, so clearly They are feeling more pressure. I say we keep turning up that pressure.
