Alexa Device Gives Definition Of Chemtrails And It’s Freaking Some People Out


Amazon’s Alexa device is back in the spotlight after people began taking notice of the response they got when asking about chemtrails.  The actual response, however, is freaking out the “we buy the official narrative about everything and believe everything the government says” crowd.


Alexa stirred some controversy in the past for her “response” when asked if she worked for the CIA.  The device didn’t actually give a response, rather, it just shut down.



But check out what happens when simply asking Alexa “what are chemtrails?”



Of course, that’s not the response the sheeple in the population were hoping for. They wanted a quick validation that all of their faith in the government has been well-founded and they would never be lied to. Most are actually so physically uncomfortable with response (because there’s no way the government would ever lie to them) to the point that they immediately go to the “conspiracy theory” comments.


If ever anyone wants to know why alternative media has gained a foothold, it’s for the simple fact that those who dare to question the mainstream media’s version of events; are to be labeled as false and “conspiracy theorists,” even though their views obviously make the most sense. Conspiracy theorists don’t only have to believe in alien abduction or reptilian creatures anymore. Now, all they have to do is question authority or the media’s scripted version of events; and that was by design as well. –The Daily Sheeple


Any time a credible but politically unpalatable explanation for real world events is expressed in the American public sphere, it is often denounced as “conspiracy theory”, then dismissed and studiously ignored by the mass media. Public opinion, the public herd mind, obediently follows suit and closes itself to any such crazy conspiracy talk. –Econintersect


The cognitive dissonance is real.


IFL Science said:


It turns out that Alexa might not be the best source of information if you want to learn about chemtrails. If you ask Alexa about “chemtrails”, it appears it will go full Alexa Jones on you, and give you a tin-foil hat conspiracy theory that takes you to the very heart of government.


But all Alexa did was give the actual definition of a chemtrail. So why all the scary conspiracy nonsense? That is by design. When asked, the Amazon Echo Dot Alexa gave the very accurate response:


“Chemtrails. Trails left by aircraft are actually chemical or biological agents deliberately sprayed at high altitudes for a purpose undisclosed to the general public in clandestine programs directed by government officials.”


What’s even more fascinating, is that the propagandists upset about Alexa giving a correct definition actually made such a big deal about it, that the product will now no longer give you the definition of a “chemtrail.” It’ll instead, tell you what a “contrail” is.


Since the flaw in the Echo Dot’s reasoning was found, Amazon has updated the response. The device will now explain to you what contrails are, rather than give you a conspiracy theory response that will send you down a rabbit hole that leads you to believe the Deep State is hiding the truth about the Earth being flat. –IFL Science


Remember, these are the same people that needed Google to change the definition of fascism because the correct definition doesn’t make them look all that good. The simple fact that people were upset that the delicate balance of lies was upended in their minds to the point they had to have the response changed to fit their biased belief is all the indication most need to know that asking questions is how we get the truth; not some blind allegiance to the mainstream media and government agents.

Red alert: Alexa maintains bombing of Hiroshima, Japan, will occur on “May 25, 2018”

(INTELLIHUB) — While tensions with North Korea remain at an all-time high, Alexa, of all things, was captured on video last Monday saying that the bombing of Hiroshima would occur in less than 70-days.


“How many days has it been since the bombing of Hiroshima?,” the user of the all-knowing Internet-connected device asked aloud before garnering an ominous answer from the outspoken circular-shaped machine.


“This might answer your question,” Alexa said. “The bombing is in 69-days, May 25th, 2018.”



Dovetailing with Alexa’s astonishingly grim prediction, former U.S. President Barack Obama visited Japan Sunday, where he warned that North Korea poses a “real threat.”


‘North Korea is a real threat and poses a significant threat not just to the region but to the whole world’, Obama said during his speech in Tokyo.

Silent Spy: Amazon’s Alexa Can Listen for More than Just Its Name, Even While in Sleep Mode

Silent Spy: Amazon


By David Williams, Natural News | 


During the last Super Bowl, Amazon had an ad spot for Alexa, its intelligent voice-based personal assistant. During the spot, Alexa’s name – usually the device’s trigger to go from Sleep mode to Wake mode and await a user’s commands – was uttered some 10 times. Surprisingly, these didn’t trigger the Alexa devices that were sitting in viewers’ homes. That might not seem like much, but it’s a huge win in terms of the device’s usability in that particular situation.


Amazon later revealed that Alexa’s ability to simply ignore the sound cues from the commercial during the broadcast was made possible by something called acoustic fingerprint technology. This is what allowed all of the Alexa devices in the wild, and listening in during the live broadcast, to easily distinguish between the words that typically trigger them to wake up and the commands that were given by actual users.


Of course, as a new report now posits, Amazon had a lot of data and resources at their disposal. They were able to plan ahead of time to make sure that they wouldn’t be waking up the Alexa devices already being used by their customers while their new Superbowl ad played. But what if that technology — acoustic fingerprinting — could be taken to the next level and worked on a bunch of other sound signatures?


That’s exactly what one startup company called Audio Analytic is evidently doing: they are currently modeling sounds beyond voice and music. So far, it is said that they have encoded the sounds of a baby’s cry, a glass window being broken, a dog’s bark, and a smoke alarm going off. At the moment, they’ve also developed a method to spot any small anomalies in ambient noise, and they are licensing their software products to various consumer electronics companies.


According to Chris Mitchell, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the company with a dual degree in music technology and electrical engineering from Anglia Ruskin University, their work is the result of much more complicated work than what Amazon had to do for their Super Bowl commercial. “With speech, and in particular wake words, the sound you make is constrained by the words and the broader rules of the language,” he explained, “there are a limited number of phonemes that humans can produce, and our collective knowledge here is considerable.”


In other words, audio fingerprint technology might be good enough for certain specific wake words, but for other sounds and noises, a much more robust system is required. For their work, Mitchell’s company relies on a deep learning system in order to analyze sounds and code them into ideophones — the representation of sound in speech. As a result, they could potentially give voice-based personal assistants that extraordinary ability to listen in for a variety of background noises and act accordingly, depending on the situation.


In an ideal scenario, that would be a wonderful feature to have on a device like Alexa. However, it does have the potential to be used for nefarious purposes. As one example, Alexa could listen in for certain types of background noise unhindered, even while it sleeps. That would, of course, violate the privacy of its users, who might be under the impression that the device only works once they utter the designated and supposedly necessary wake words.


The silver lining in all of this is that it may be a while before the technology that would allow such a situation to happen exists in the real world. But knowing how quickly new can be developed, it’s always good to be one step ahead in order to ensure your own personal safety and privacy during these times.

MSM Florida Shooting Narrative CRUMBLES: Teacher Saw Shooter In ‘Full Metal Garb’


A Marjory Stoneman Douglas  High School teacher, Stacey Lippel, is speaking out about what, more specifically, who she saw shooting up the school on that fateful Valentine’s Day. Lippel says the shooter was in “full metal garb” which is in stark contrast to the image (above) of the alleged shooter that the mainstream media continues to show us.


Lippel, who is a creative writing teacher, says she was only about 2o feet away from the shooter as a “barrage” of bullets flew down the hallway and into classrooms.  Lippel’s arm was grazed by one of the bullets fired by the gunman who she says was in “full metal garb” and was even wearing a helmet.


“I suddenly saw the shooter about 20 feet from me standing at the end of the hallway actively shooting down the hallway. Just a barrage of bullets.  And I’m staring at him thinking ‘why is the police here?’ This is strange because he’s in full metal garb. Helmet, face-mask, bulletproof armor, shooting this rifle that I’ve never seen before.” –Stacy Lippel


Watch the video before YouTube removes it.  The site has been scrubbing all videos that do not parrot the mainstream media’s official narrative.



In the interview with ABC‘s Good Morning America, Lippel describes the shooter very differently than the image we were shown of Cruz in handcuffs on the ground. “I had a good visual of him. I saw him shoot a barrage of bullets,”  she said. But this teacher isn’t the only one making claims that don’t align with the students turned propagandists for a gun control agenda.


Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School student Alexa says she passed school shooting suspect Nikolas Cruz immediately after the shooting and had a brief exchange with him.  She also said there was, for certain, more than one shooter.



Both of these eyewitness accounts fly in the face of the official narrative the mainstream media is expecting us to digest. By now, it’s evident that the media has an agenda and is working hand in hand with globalists to disarm the good American people with phony narratives and false flag attacks that become immediately about the loss of rights instead of about the gaping holes in their own story.


Police maintain the suspect Nikolas Cruz arrived via an Uber ride at 2:19 p.m. and initiated his attack within 1 minute. If true, that would mean that Cruz would have had to suit up into full metal body armor, put on a full helmet and the whole nine yards, all the while assembling an AR-15 rifle which was purportedly packed into a duffle bag with a number of fully-loaded magazines. [All in under 60 seconds]


An affidavit filed by the Broward County Sheriff states: “Cruz stated that he was the gunman who entered the school campus armed with an AR-15 and began shooting students that he saw in the hallways and on the school grounds. Cruz stated that he brought additional loaded magazines to the school campus and kept them hidden in a backpack until he got on campus to begin his assault.” -Intellihub


One other oddity that was found buried and almost unnoticeable was an interesting detail found in an article in the Chicago Tribune. It claims that police found a kid in a bulletproof vest after the shooting.  The student claims his dad, who is a cop, gave him the bulletproof vest.


In the classroom where Mackenzie Hill had been hiding, police broke through the door. As the officers were guiding students out, they noticed something odd: One of the students had put on a bulletproof vest.


The student said he’d been given the vest by his father, a police officer.


Even in the safest city in Florida, he’d brought it to school with him, just in case. –Chicago Tribune


Many ask questions because things continue to not add up. Calling those who want the truth “conspiracy theorists” in order to shut down the argument doesn’t prove the media, who has been caught lying and propagandizing for the government and a globalist agenda many times, is being genuine.
