"Inside The NBA" is truly legendary

A California backpacker was camping in the Los Padre National Forest. He began to hear a series of whistles coming from all around him and getting closer. He then experienced 'mind speak.'"It was October 1‚  2019‚ in Los Padre National Forest near Santa Barbara‚ California. It was the worst night of my life. I went on a solo backpacking trip and I had mapped out a loop trail which I didn't really know if possible. I didn't know this area very well and I didn't think the trail had been maintained for over a dozen years. My guess is that it would be about 50 miles but I really needed to figure out what I was planning on doing in 3 days. But I had enough food for five.About 7 minutes into my hike I found this beautiful campsite area with a waterfall and natural swimming hole. I didn't make it as far as I would have liked to on my first day but I couldn't pass up swimming in this beautiful creek in this slot canyon. I set up my hammock went for a swim‚ ate some dinner‚ and turned in early. I figured if I hit the hay early I'd get up before sunrise and get back on pace.I woke up about an hour later to find that dreadful feeling of being watched. It was absolutely horrible. There's only a sliver of light left from the sunset so I decided I would pitch a tent‚ then rain tarp on‚ and go back to sleep. I set up the tent faster than I've ever set up a tent before. I felt as if I was being watched the entire time. I crawled in and tried to force myself back to sleep. I guess the tent gave me a false sense of security‚ out of sight and out of mind. I fell back asleep.Several hours later‚ at about 2 in the morning. I was woken by a whistle coming from up the creek. I sat up in my tent listening. I didn't hear any birds‚ crickets‚ or anything. I don't even think I remember hearing the creek or waterfall. But 5 minutes passed and as soon as I laid my head down I heard the same whistle again from about 200 yards up the creek. I sat back up‚ my eyes as big as saucers just listening. I knew that this wasn't a bird or any wildlife. I sat perfectly still in my tent and listened. I then heard another whistle from 200 yards down the creek this time. The original whistler up creek quickly responded to the whistler down the creek‚ then straight up the cliff side in the canyon above me. I heard a third whistle respond every minute or so. They would take turns whistling one minute‚ it would be from up creek. The next minute from down creek. Then the following minute up above me on the cliff they took turns in perfect order‚ never going out a turn.I listened to this for about half an hour before I realized that the whistles were closing in my tent. The whistles were getting louder and closer. First‚ it was 200 yards‚ then 150 yards‚ then 100 yards‚ then 50 yards‚ until all three whistlers were right outside my tent. They're whistling down at me. I was shaking in my sleeping bag terrified. What followed next was the worst experience I've ever had in my 31 years of life.The ground began to shake like an earthquake and I felt electric shocks going through my body. It was very painful. I think I let out an involuntary yell from the pain. Tears were rolling down my face because I was so terrified. I mustered up my strength and yelled from the top of my lungs‚ "Leave me alone!" Then silence. The electric shock stopped‚ and the ground stopped shaking. I tried to listen as best I could to any noise while shaking with fear in my sleeping bag. I then heard a stern voice in my head telling me to leave. He sounded angry. It's the same mind speak that I heard years earlier. They then turned and started to walk away from me. I could feel the ground shaking as they left. They then entered the thick of the forest and broke trees and branches till they were all out of range.I stayed awake and my tent all night until first light and then went back down the way I came to my truck. I could not complete the loop trail‚ I was going home. I ended up not leaving my bedroom for three months other than to get food. I was terrified to even go outside my home. Friends and family started to worry about me finally. I told one of my friends what happened. I even got a therapist who specializes in PTSD and told him everything‚ probably saved my life. I was probably as close to suicide as I could get. My friend got me back out in the woods and even got me to go overnight camping on several occasions but I highly doubt I'll ever go solo backpacking in the woods for the rest of my life."Transcribed Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C99ymsyJHh0HAVE A COMMENT?

An experiencer recounts her abduction events and believes that she has been used by the Grey aliens for breeding. Hopefully‚ I'll be allowed to provide the evidence that she has collected.I recently received the following account."I'm almost 25 years old and have lived in Canada‚ New York‚ and New Hampshire.The first time I ever considered an alien was real or anything was when I was 19 when my boyfriend and I of a few years lived in Canada. We woke up one day like normal‚ had breakfast‚ sat down and I’ll never forget his face. I thought he was having a brain aneurysm or something and I‚ obviously panicking‚ asked what’s wrong? He shakily said. "I just remembered something and I don’t know how to explain it." He had tears running down his face‚ shaking like a leaf‚ and after I held him for a few minutes he started talking. He is a Native American and a strong man who has almost a genius IQ‚ who doesn’t smoke‚ drink‚ or use drugs‚ and who doesn’t believe in ghosts or any of that paranormal stuff.He told me he woke up in bed and two 'aliens' were walking in the room. He was screaming trying to wake me up. He said they were the typical grey aliens but had long arms and no genitalia. He said they came into the room with their hands out like to give us a 'high five.' He told me when he was screaming‚ it was like I couldn’t hear him at all and I am a soft sleeper. He said one alien came over and kept a hand over the top of me while the other one walked towards him with his hands up. He said he heard this ‘hum’ and it was putting him in a trance‚ no matter how hard he fought it. The alien was on top of him until he passed out.I ended up finding out I was pregnant not long after and the conception date the doctor gave us was around THAT NIGHT! We did a lot of research but he couldn’t handle it. He always shook and would become overwhelmed anytime he heard a weird hum that reminded him of it or anything. We assumed maybe they were implanting their DNA into our baby. Trying to cross-breed or maybe taking our eggs or sperm. But that was that‚ and I didn’t think about it again until 3 years later after we broke up for a while.I still blame that incident for our breakup. Like it was a reminder of that traumatic memory. After we broke up he refused to talk about it. I started having sleep paralysis and weird sleep issues and never thought much about it until I started being aware. Once I forced myself to be aware of what’s truly happened I realized that I was being abducted. A LOT. The normal stories you hear and read don’t really match. But what I know is that they can control us while we are sleeping and weak. When we are sleeping they telepathically can control us by forcing us back to sleep or paralyzing us.After two years of being aware I started to get really good at fighting their forced sleep or paralysis. They’ve actually gotten angry and threatened me 'telepathically' to stop and that I need to not 'make it harder on them.' Also ‘if I just go to sleep I won’t be scared anymore.’ If I want to move again just fall back asleep and I will wake up just fine. To my knowledge‚ if you break out of the ‘trance’ they are told to leave because it makes it dangerous and hard to control us. Every time I overpower them they always just leave. I now know when they come in my room and I can normally wake up. Some sort of defense mechanism I assume.But that has caused many other issues. I now think they are using harsher methods when trying to take me. Anyways they do not like for us to see them so they try to attack our backs. Stand over our back or behind us. I have now set up my bed so they have to walk to the side of me in front of my TV‚ which I always have on because I continue to try to see them. I am now scared of the dark.One recent night I had a horrible sleep. My body kept telling me they were coming. I never did this before but I turned on my phone. And recorded. It was two hours of recording and it was raining outside. I woke up paralyzed like usual and I opened an eye and saw the shadow in the corner of my TV and fought my hardest to get out of my paralysis. It only took me a second and I lifted my head up‚ looked right at it and it vanished.So I went to watch my recording to see if I could hear or see anything at the moment I saw it. The minute before I broke free from my sleep and picked up my phone to see if anything was on it I could clearly hear a humming beat like a heartbeat in the background. I can hear the beat start around 30 seconds into the clip. I can provide an entire recording of an hour and so for authenticity as well. My only guess is that’s the sound wave they may use to control us during our sleep I am not sure. I have a lot more I would like to try to remember by hypnosis and I know they will be back.I honestly believe they have human women carry children as ‘crossbreeds’ because their reproduction systems have slowly been failing. We carry them for a month or two in our wombs and then take them out. And can somehow keep them alive from then on with their technology. I have been consistently feeling pregnant on and off for a year. My breasts fill up huge and are tender. I have acne cravings and weight gain. I hope to personally demand to know more about what these creatures are doing and why they are taking me. This is the first time contacting anyone because this is the first time I have any sort of proof." ANOTE: I have received the recordings though I have not been given permission to release them to the public at this point. I have worked with several women in the past who believe that they were subjected to alien breeding. LonHAVE A COMMENT?

A boy is exploring his family's 100+ acres ranch in northern New Mexico. Suddenly‚ he awakes to his mother trying to revive him. He had lost 11 hours and has never been able to explain it.The following account was forwarded to me:"This happened several years ago when I was about 11 years old. I was in a wooded 100+ acre ranch in northern New. My family owns the property and we have family reunions every year and all stay for about 5 days to camp. There’s an area of the ranch where we all set up camp and cook and eat. Getting to that part of the ranch requires driving through a small village and several gates for about 2 miles. The first gate beyond the village is slightly past a set of railroad tracks. That’s a lot of description‚ but it’s relevant later in the story.Because I had been camping at the ranch for as long as I could remember and the land was private‚ my parents would allow me to go off on my own during the day as long as I didn’t go too far. I’d spend time walking the property near our camp area looking for arrowheads or trying to catch tadpoles in the ponds. On this day‚ I left the large camp area after lunch‚ which was around 11:30‚ and told my mom I was going to a nearby creek. I planned on catching some tadpoles to bring back to camp and be back on time for a swimming trip my cousins were planning. They wanted to go to a nearby river and I really didn’t want to miss it.I made it down to the creek and got several tadpoles. I probably spent a total of 15 minutes down there. To get back to camp‚ I would have needed to either climb up a relatively steep embankment with a lot of loose rock or circle around on a longer route with a flat trail. I’d usually go up the embankment‚ but I didn’t have a top for the water bottle I caught the tadpoles with and didn’t want to risk slipping and spilling them out/killing them. I had never walked the longer trail by myself‚ but I had with my dad and felt confident I could find my way back to camp on it.As I walked back to camp‚ I had my head down looking for arrowheads in the washed-out areas of the trail. I started feeling a little creeped out as I continued walking. We all know that feeling like someone is watching. It was unsettling‚ but I chalked it up to just getting spooked being on the trail by myself.Now the next part‚ I can’t explain whatsoever. It’s as if a light switch was turned on or someone snapped their fingers and I came back to reality. Except when I came to‚ I wasn’t on the trail I had been on before. I was near the railroad tracks and it was completely dark. My mom was standing in front of me shaking my shoulders and yelling‚ “Where were you?” Two things I remember really clearly about the moments I “came to” are:1) the look of fear/anger/relief in my mom’s tearful eyes as she was yelling at me‚ and2) the confusion I felt about what the hell was going on.The last thing I remembered was walking on the trail back to camp‚ and now suddenly it was dark and I was at the railroad tracks leading to the ranch (which was over 2 miles away). The best way I can describe it is to compare it to the movie 'The Butterfly Effect.' The main character would be living in one moment‚ then suddenly he’d wake up somewhere entirely different.My parents drove me back to camp and I learned it was 10:30 PM. This meant I had been gone for 11 hours‚ about 10.5 of which I can’t account for to this day. My parents and all my family had understandably freaked the hell out when I hadn’t returned to camp. They had been looking for me all day. I was a really good kid growing up and rarely broke any rules‚ so my parents were baffled at my behavior. I tried to explain to them that I had no memory of getting to the tracks‚ but they didn’t believe me. They thought maybe I got lost and was embarrassed to admit it.This was the only time I’ve ever experienced something like this. I can’t explain how unsettling it is to not be able to account for all those hours I was gone. Was it a coincidence that I had that creeped-out feeling on the trail and then just lost 10.5 hours of my life? I wish I had answers for what happened." HHAVE A COMMENT?

An East Indian experiencer describes his multiple encounters since childhood‚ including incidents involving Reptilians‚ Mantis‚ and Greys‚ and references to past lives on other star systems.The following experiencer report was forwarded to me:"I've been a childhood experiencer‚ and have endured other experiences all my life. I saw a UFO with my twin at age 11 and orbs spirits after that. During my twenties‚ I had heaps of sleep paralysis with what looked like a tall Grey always looking down at me.I did a regression session early this year and memories of past lives came flooding back. Now‚ I had no idea about any other race of beings besides the typical Greys. But in my regression‚ I saw the past lives of Lyra and Alpha Draconis as a Reptilian. The clearest memory of my regression is being laid down on a gurney and being wheeled through a craft in my Reptilian form to a room where I believe a soul transfer procedure was being done on me. I physically felt immense pressure on my temples and I could see a short Grey working around my temples with his hands whilst looking beyond my body seeing two tall Greys on one side‚ a Reptilian on the other side‚ and what I perceived to be a tall Mantid in the middle. I don't recall any other time I've dealt with or seen Mantids.I went through a second regression with Mary Rodwell. I was immediately shown an ancient Mantid who seemed like my guide in a grassy field. It telepathically told me about my connection to Orions Belt (where my orbs originate from) and the Avian Beings that are my star family. It points to the constellation and with one of his hands‚ places another on my heart to communicate with the stars. (Rendering below)Almost immediately a golden triangular craft descends from the region of Orion’s Belt. Three-headed avians in golden armor land and offer to take me on a ride. (seen these in my meditations‚ the one being named Abraxus)I was taken on a golden triangular craft with them to learn my true purpose in this incarnation: to be part of the ones that are awakening and leading humanity through the next phase of our evolution.I was taken not to a planet but what looked like a golden sun. When I asked my avian brethren‚ “Where are we? Where did you take me?” They said. "We are here at THE ALL or what you call GOD SOURCE." PHAVE A COMMENT?

It would be easy to argue that Linda Ronstadt was the most popular female singer of the 1970s. Hit after hit‚ Linda Ronstadt’s wholesome vocals appealed to a mass audience that laid the foundation for a long‚ successful career. Linda Ronstadt’s songs intertwined country melodies and rock grooves‚ foreshadowing modern-day country pop in 2024. Furthermore‚ those great songs were elevated to an entirely new level‚ fueled by the pitch-perfect soulful county-blessed vocals of Linda Ronstadt. Linda Ronstadt’s recording career began in 1965 with her trio‚ The Stone Poneys. After releasing three albums with the Stone Poneys‚ Linda Ronstadt began a The post Top 10 Linda Ronstadt Songs That Leave You Breathless appeared first on ClassicRockHistory.com.

Modern Warfare 3: How to get Operator Barebones kills A new week opens the door for new Weekly Challenges for all of us to complete. However‚ what I have encountered quite often is that these Challenges do not explain very well what exactly you have to do‚ especially for specific types of kills. For Season 2 Week 3‚ we have a special Weekly Challenge that involves getting Operator Barebones kills‚ and it can get a bit confusing. You see‚ in prior games‚ Barebones was actually a playlist that disabled killstreaks and kill points‚ but it’s not present in Modern Warfare 3. So‚ what are Operator Barebones kills? This time‚ it has nothing to do with a specific playlist‚ but rather the gun itself you use to kill enemy Operators. You see‚ Barebones is a state of your weapon‚ and to make your kills count toward the tally‚ you need to ...

Learning to read is trending. The most fundamental of K-12 subjects is fueling YouTube videos and feature stories in People magazine and is now the subject of a report from Sen. Bill Cassidy‚ R-La.‚ ranking member of the Senate Committee on Health‚ Education‚ Labor‚ and Pensions. Let’s hope the renewed interest spreads‚ because a shocking proportion of American children cannot read‚ and the data have profound implications for these children’s futures—and the entire criminal justice system. Oliver James is the former convict who announced on social media that he taught himself to read as an adult‚ which sparked media coverage on how learning to read changed his life. As a student‚ James had been passed along from grade to grade without learning this basic skill. James took a video of himself in his van saying‚ “What’s up? I can’t read‚” turning him into an internet sensation and attracting the attention of the “Today” show‚ among others. James has since posted videos of his improvements and making his way through everything from Greek mythology to books on mental illness. James would find value in Cassidy’s report released this week. Cassidy’s team uses the abysmal reading test scores of fourth and eighth grade students to demonstrate that there is a reading crisis in schools‚ and it does not take long for the report‚ titled “Preventing a Lost Generation: Facing a Critical Moment for Students’ Literacy‚” to link incarceration and illiteracy. “Many previously struggling students end up as part of our nation’s institutionalized population‚” reads the report‚ and at a significant cost to taxpayers. Taxpayers spend some $80 billion per year on the corrections system‚ five times the amount taxpayers spend on education for children in low-income areas. In fact‚ the National Assessment of Adult Literacy finds that two-thirds of students who cannot read by the end of fourth grade will be incarcerated later in life or will be living in poverty as adults. Two out of three inmates did not have a high school diploma when they entered prison. Nearly 75% of incarcerated adults are illiterate. Not learning to read in school creates a chain reaction: Individuals have fewer opportunities in the workforce and become more likely to find themselves incarcerated. Sure enough‚ 51% of inmates were not employed full time before they were incarcerated‚ and 1 in 5 was unemployed. Despite the best efforts of education advocates in the justice system‚ 60% of incarcerated adults do not participate in education programs while they are in prison. While more research is needed to make causal claims‚ the overlap between illiteracy and incarceration has been widely studied—which makes data on improved reading scores invaluable to policymakers. Cassidy’s report is an urgent warning that the data on student illiteracy is effectively data on the next generation of incarcerated adults and the cost to taxpayers of corrections and the justice system. Cassidy’s report cites figures from a National Reading Panel report and estimates the cost to taxpayers of adult illiteracy is $409 billion annually‚ counting “welfare payments‚ crime‚ job incompetence‚ lost taxes‚ and remedial education.” Some state lawmakers have adopted solutions that can serve as a models to improve student literacy rates. Legislators in states such as Arizona‚ Mississippi‚ and Florida have adopted provisions that require third graders to demonstrate proficiency in reading before they can advance to the next grade level. Mississippi is home to the Barksdale Reading Institute‚ which promotes the “science of reading‚” a method that combines phonics instruction‚ which research demonstrates was a method that should not have been abandoned over the last 50 years‚ with other techniques to improve instruction. The average score of fourth graders in Mississippi has jumped nine points since 2013‚ the largest increase in the country over that period‚ and 19 points since 1992‚ the second-largest increase in those years. Florida students have seen similar increases. Lawmakers can easily reach across the aisle on this issue. Creating better readers would benefit all Americans—across racial and economic lines. Working-age black men without a high school diploma are more likely to be in prison than employed‚ and 1 out of every 9 black men between the ages of 20 and 34 are incarcerated. It has great significance‚ then‚ that the average reading scores in Florida for black students in fourth grade have increased 22 points as state officials have adopted reforms focused on reading and education choice options such as education savings accounts. Mississippians are watching the same improvements unfold. Senate committee reports do not often go viral‚ but the state-based solutions Cassidy’s report contains should inspire teachers and state officials nationwide. Have an opinion about this article?

The government and private companies spy on us. My former employee‚ Naomi Brockwell‚ has become a privacy specialist. She advises people on how to protect their privacy. In my new video‚ she tells me I should delete most of my apps on my phone. I push back. I like that Google knows where I am and can recommend a “restaurant near me.” I like that my Shell app lets me buy gas (almost) without getting out of the car. I don’t like that government gathers information about me via my phone‚ but so far‚ so what? Brockwell tells me I’m being dumb because I don’t know which government will get that data in the future. Looking at my phone‚ she tells me‚ “You’ve given location permission‚ microphone permission. You have so many apps!” She says I should delete most of them‚ starting with Google Chrome. “This is a terrible app for privacy. Google Chrome is notorious for collecting every single thing that they can about you … [and] broadcasting that to thousands of people … auctioning off your eyeballs. It’s not just advertisers collecting this information. Thousands of shell companies‚ shady companies of data brokers also collect it and‚ in turn‚ sell it.” Instead of Google‚ she recommends using a browser called Brave. It’s just as good‚ she says‚ but it doesn’t collect all the information that Chrome does. It’s slightly faster‚ too‚ because it doesn’t slow down to load ads. Then she says‚ “Delete Google Maps.” “But I need Google Maps!” “You don’t‚” she replies. “You have an iPhone. You have Apple Maps … Apple is better when it comes to privacy … Apple at least tries to anonymize your data.” Instead of Gmail‚ she recommends more private alternatives‚ like Proton Mail or Tuta. “There are many others‚” she points out. “The difference between them is that every email going into your inbox for Gmail is being analyzed‚ scanned‚ it’s being added to a profile about you.” But I don’t care. Nothing beats Google’s convenience. It remembers my credit cards and passwords. It fills things in automatically. I tried the Brave browser but‚ after a week‚ switched back to Google. I like that Google knows me. Brockwell says that I could import my credit cards and passwords to Brave and autofill there‚ too. “I do understand the trade-off‚” she adds. “But email is so personal. It’s private correspondence about everything in your life. I think we should use companies that don’t read our emails. Using those services is also a vote for privacy‚ giving a market signal that we think privacy is important. That’s the only way we’re going to get more privacy.” She also warns that even apps like WhatsApp‚ which I thought were private‚ aren’t as private as we think. “WhatsApp is end-to-end encrypted and better than standard SMS [text messaging]. But it collects a lot of data about you and shares it with its parent company‚ Facebook. It’s nowhere near as private as an app like Signal.” She notices my Shell app and suggests I delete it. Opening the app’s “privacy nutrition label‚” something I never bother reading‚ she points out that I give Shell “your purchase history‚ your contact information‚ physical address‚ email address‚ your name‚ phone number‚ your product interaction‚ search history‚ user ID‚ crash data‚ performance data‚ precise location‚ course location … ” The list goes on. No wonder I don’t read it. She says‚ “The first step before downloading an app: Take a look at their permissions‚ see what information they’re collecting.” I’m just not going to bother. But she did convince me to delete some apps‚ pointing out that if I want the app later‚ I can always reinstall it. “We think that we need an app for every interaction we do with a business. We don’t realize what we give up as a result.” “They already have all my data. What’s the point of going private now?” I ask. “Privacy comes down to choice‚” she replies. “It’s not that I want everything that I do to remain private. It’s that I deserve to have the right to selectively reveal to the world what I want them to see. Currently‚ that’s not the world.” COPYRIGHT 2023 BY JFS PRODUCTIONS INC.
