CIA Declassified: What Backwards Secrets are you hiding in your Reverse Speech?
Added 2023-03-17 00:42:37 +0000 UTCIn 1983, David Oates dropped his walkman into the toilet.
If you're under 40 years old, a walkman was a portable cassette player.
If you're under 30, a cassette was how we listened to music in the stone age.
Anyway, after being dropped, David's tape player would only play tapes in reverse.
At first, he found this entertaining. There were lots of songs that contained hidden messages that you could only hear if you played them backward.
But *those* messages were placed there intentionally.
Soon, David discovered messages hidden in human speech that were NOT intentional. Messages that were put there by the speaker's subconscious.
Turns out, we all do this. In fact, when we lie, our subconscious actually encodes the *truth*, backward, inside the lies that we tell.
This is *really* interesting. Because that means, the truth about every conspiracy is right in front of your nose.

Interesting... And a bit disturbing.

2023-03-26 09:48:36 +0000 UTCThis was an incredible episode and we’ve suggested that our reporters start listening to the interviews they conduct a bit more critically er… backwards. Brilliant programming….

2023-03-23 23:06:19 +0000 UTCI thought it was very interesting, especially the parts about JFK. I would love to see an entire episode on Paul's death as well

2023-03-23 16:28:19 +0000 UTCI always love AJ and this is 100% my favorite channel but the backwards talking stuff was just OK for me.

2023-03-23 15:34:45 +0000 UTCNot sure and even the AI interpretation of backwards is not convincing. Not one of the better episodes and not clearly proven...

2023-03-17 21:19:14 +0000 UTCThis was another great episode. I remember playing the Beatles records backwards on my record player. I have now downloaded an app that plays audio backwards called reverse play. I will be having fun playing with it today.

2023-03-17 16:16:35 +0000 UTCI’d never heard of this theory, it’s pretty silly as you always just hear whatever is printed on the screen. That said though, you as always knocked it out of the park and it was an awesome vid

2023-03-17 15:57:48 +0000 UTCMost of the time I did not look and only till I read did I hear it. Except Clinton I herd something ending in kill. Bob Lazar is the only one that was loud and clear. Clearly like forward play.

2023-03-17 08:53:09 +0000 UTCGreat video as always, but... I know the main idea about the video is the political part, but as a music and Beatles fan, I wanted to correct the record at the beginning. Paul wasn't the one driving the car that crashed, it was Tara Browne. John actually said "Cranberry sauce" not "I burried Paul". John did what he wanted and instead of counting in A Day in the Life going, one.. two... three... four... one... two... three... four... he said, "Sugar plum fairy... sugar plum fairy". The bass on the front of Sgt. Pepper supposedly spelled Paul with four long flower stems for bass strings. Also, as mentioned, before Paul didn't wreck his car, but he did however cut his lip and chipped a tooth when he crashed a moped, which is supposedly why he grew his mustache around the Pepper era. There are actually black and white photos of him not long after the incident on the web. I would LOVE to see a Why Files video on the Beatles in any form - Paul's death conspiracy theories, back masking, George Martin as the true fifth Beatle (would the Beatles have been able to achieve what they did if Sir Martin had been there as he was, encoraging, honing, tutoring them in how to utilize the studio and indulging them to greater heights? There is also a short but facinating YouTube video of the supposed "The Real Paul McCartney with Beatles tourists" that can easily be found. In the same vein as the Paul is dead theory, A Day in the Life wasn't about Paul or Kennedy having his mind blown out in a car - the Kenedy angle is something relatively new to me and seems to be fairly obscure, but out there. Lastly... Just think about Hecklefish's options to cover a great Beatle's song or songs alone... Oh myyyyyy! Glass Onion style? Paul might have been the walrus, but, "I am the Hecklefish" might make a great shirt or mug 😁

2023-03-17 06:46:08 +0000 UTCThis is another great story, even though I had knowledge of the sub conscience reverse thing. The entirety of Paul's death in backward speech in both middle school and high school, we all had opinions. My friend and I discovered that Paul wasn't replaceable, that was a subject no one thought of that we knew of. Like Prince, who did pass away, Paul's father was a musician also, his father Jim McCartney, also a multi instrument player too. So like Prince Paul had the impression of music and his father's guidance all his childhood, they even had a piano. OK in high school with the science teacher, my forum discussed the idea of just finding someone who had the same expressions, and voice and intelligence of music theory. We decided that in order to find a Paul Replacement, it would have to be a clone. The existing Paul, has memories of everything Paul did since he was a child. The possibility of Paul being replaced was just impossible. Could it all have just been camera play? NO, the replacement Paul would have had to fulfill each and every concert, media events and so on. So if Paul died in a secret room or what ever the crazy idea was, it wasn't worth hiding his death anyway. When John Lennon was killed, just about the entire globe went into morning over it. Many of us just couldn't fathom he was actually dead. Why wasn't John's death hidden, and he replaced? George died, no hiding his death, bla bla bla. So was the hidden messages on Beetles albums secret message placed purposely for the purpose for pumping up record sales, could be, but the news back then that they were even more famous then Jesus ever was, shook the christian world. A band so famous, they beat god's fame, LOL. That was a special time to be alive, and the same happened with Micheal Jackson years later. Why assassinate JFK, why not replace him too? JFK's son searched for answers for year's also, and was positive the shooter was George Bush senior. They say that his plane still had plenty of fuel in it. I believe his death was blamed on a broken panel, but he was an ace pilot, and flew back and forth from Manhattan to Martha's Vineyard, regularly, so he didn't need his panel, he knew just by memory alone.

2023-03-17 02:59:01 +0000 UTCGreat video, loved it! I remember looking at this topic years ago, and the conclusion I was brought to was the human mouth is limited to a relatively small number of sounds it's technically capable of making. Plus, the human brain is highly tuned to pattern finding, glueing the two together and voila, the audio equivalent of faces in cloud formations?

2023-03-17 02:09:01 +0000 UTCLet us not forget the 'The Infinite Monkey Theorem' which is a proposition that an unlimited number of monkeys, given typewriters and sufficient time, will eventually produce a particular text, such as Hamlet or even the complete works of Shakespeare. One thing that nags at me is the question of exactly how much taped conversation is being left on the cutting room floor? It seems as though these reverse snippets are heavily cherry picked, and possibly edited to achieve the result required. Not much of what was disclosed seems very scientific to my layman's ears. (Most of the first sentence was cut and pasted from a Google search, to be clear. Probably a direct quote from a scientist,)

2023-03-17 01:18:13 +0000 UTCThanks for making me feel old with the Walkman and cassette comments 😂 Personally I don't believe in a lot of the reverse speech, I think it is just people finding something like seeing images in clouds. But looking forward to watching the video and seeing your take on it.
