This is Paranormal Aliens, Episode three. Why they forced you
to stream everything? The emergency communications blackout coming.

Speaker 3 (00:37):
You can call me James, and today we're talking about
the greatest communications coup in human history, something so brilliant,
so perfectly executed, that most people don't even realize it happened.
They convinced you to give up the one thing that
could save your life in a real emergency. They made

(00:57):
you dependent on systems they can shut off with the
flip of a switch. I'm talking about streaming, about how
they systematically destroyed independent media, killed broadcast radio and television,
and funneled every piece of information through centralized servers they control.
Remember the emergency broadcast system. That piercing tone followed by

(01:22):
this is a test of the emergency broadcast system. Your
parents' generation grew up with that. It was hardwired into
every radio and TV in America. Couldn't be hacked, couldn't
be censored, couldn't be shut down remotely. If something happened,

(01:45):
really happened, they could reach everyone simultaneously. But here's the
thing about that system. It was decentralized. Every station had
its own transmitter, Every radio was an independent receiver. You
didn't need the Internet, you didn't need a cell tower.

(02:05):
You didn't need permission from Google or Apple or Amazon
to hear what was happening in your own neighborhood. They
couldn't allow that to continue. My source inside that telecommunications
company whose name you see on every cell tower tells
me the transition to streaming wasn't about convenience. It wasn't

(02:26):
about choice. It was about control. They needed to eliminate
every communication channel they couldn't monitor, filter and shut down instantly.
Think about your daily media consumption. Where do you get
your news? Netflix, YouTube, Spotify, Hulu. Every single one of

(02:49):
those platforms runs through centralized servers. Every single one can
be turned off remotely. Every single one is monitored, recorded,
and controlled by algorithm that decide what you see and
when you see it. You think you're choosing what to watch,
you're not. You're consuming pre selected content delivered through infrastructure

(03:12):
they own and operate, And when they need to cut
the information flow, really cut it. They can make every
screen in America go dark simultaneously. But it's worse than that.
They didn't just move you to streaming. They made sure
you couldn't go back. When's the last time you saw

(03:33):
a new car with an AM radio. Most new vehicles
don't even have FM anymore. It's all satellite radio and
streaming through your phone, completely dependent on systems they control.
My contact at the Federal Communications Commission, the agency that's
supposed to regulate communications in the public interest. He tells

(03:55):
me they've been quietly decommissioning broadcast transmitters for years, selling
off spectrum to cell phone companies, eliminating redundant systems under
the guise of efficiency. They're not making communications more efficient,
They're making them more fragile, more controllable, more vulnerable to

(04:19):
a single point of failure. And here's what really pisses
me off. They did it by making it seem like progress,
cord cutting. They called it freedom from cable companies, unlimited
content on demand. They sold it as liberation while they
were actually building the most sophisticated censorship and control system

(04:43):
in human history. Remember when Netflix started, they mailed you DVDs,
physical media you could watch without any Internet connection. But
they didn't stop there, did they. They moved you to streaming,
made the physical option inconven expensive, limited, forced you onto

(05:05):
their platform where they could track everything you watched, everything
you searched for, everything you paused or rewound or fast
forwarded through. Now they know more about your viewing habits
than you do. They know what keeps your attention, what
makes you angry, what puts you to sleep. They've got

(05:25):
psychological profiles on every subscriber that would make the Stasi
weep with envy. But the real genius was making you
pay for your own surveillance. You're literally paying Netflix and
Amazon and Disney to monitor your behavior and feed you
algorithmic content designed to keep you docile and distracted. And

(05:47):
when the next real crisis hits, not some manufactured pandemic
or political theater, but something that threatens their power structure,
how exactly do you think you're going to find out
about it? Your phone? Cell towers go down in emergencies,
always have, always will. Plus they can selectively shut down

(06:10):
service to specific areas or specific users. Don't believe me,
ask anyone who is in Washington, d C. On January sixth,
Funny how cell service just happened to get spotty right
when people were trying to live stream what was really
happening your Internet? Same problem except worse, your home Internet

(06:33):
runs through infrastructure they own and operate a few strategically
severed fiber optic cables, and entire regions go dark. No Internet,
no streaming, no information. Your television, what television. If you've
got cable, congratulations, you're part of a shrinking minority. And

(06:55):
even cable runs through centralized systems they can control. But
most people cancel cable years ago. They're completely dependent on
Internet based streaming for everything. We'll be right back. Here's

(07:21):
the thing about emergencies. They don't happen during business hours
with advanced notice. They happen fast, without warning, usually when
systems are already stressed or compromised, And in those moments,
you need information immediately. You need to know what's happening,
where it's safe to go, what to avoid. In the

(07:45):
old system, you could grab any radio, even a battery
powered transistor radio from the nineteen seventies, and get real
time emergency information. Local stations had emergency generators, back up transmit,
and federally mandated obligations to broadcast critical information. Now, your

(08:09):
local radio station is probably owned by iHeartMedia or some
other massive conglomerate. The actual programming comes from a server
farm hundreds of miles away. The local DJ was replaced
by an algorithm years ago, and if the Internet goes down,
you get dead air. But here's where it gets really sinister.

(08:31):
My source inside that government agency you think a TV
show made up, tells me they've been running exercises, wargames,
they call them, simulating communications blackouts during national emergencies. Not
testing how to maintain communications, testing how to control them.

(08:51):
They figured out that the best way to manage a
population during a crisis isn't to keep them informed. It's
to control the flow of information so precisely that people
only know what they want them to know when they
want them to know it. Want to prevent panic, just
delay information by a few hours. Want to direct people

(09:13):
to specific locations, push notifications through the apps they've already downloaded.
Want to silence dissent, classify certain information as misinformation, and
have the platforms automatically remove it. They're not preparing for
communications failures. They're preparing to weaponize communications control. And the

(09:37):
beautiful part from their perspective is that most people won't
even notice it's happening, because streaming is so convenient, so personalized,
that people have forgotten what real independent media looks like.
Your Netflix recommendations are curated by an algorithm designed to

(09:58):
keep you watching Netflix. Your YouTube feed shows you content
designed to keep you on YouTube. Your Spotify playlist is
optimized to keep you listening to Spotify. You're living in
a carefully constructed information bubble that feels like choice but
is actually manipulation. And when they need to change the narrative,

(10:21):
really change it fast. They don't need to storm newspaper
offices or shut down printing presses. They just tweak the algorithms. Suddenly,
certain content stops appearing in search results, certain videos get buried,
certain podcasts get demonetized or shadow band or outright removed.

(10:45):
Remember that flew from five years ago that I still
can't mention. How many people got banned from social media
for asking basic questions about treatments or origins. Then suddenly,
months later, those same questions were perfectly acceptable to discuss.
What changed, not the science, the narrative. That's the power

(11:11):
of centralized streaming platforms. They can rewrite reality in real
time by controlling what information reaches your eyes and ears.
But here's what they're really afraid of. People going back
to decentralized communications, people buying short wave radios, people setting

(11:31):
up mesh networks, people creating independent media that doesn't run
through their servers. That's why they're killing AM radio. AM
signals travel hundreds of miles, especially at night. They bounce
off the ionosphere and can reach places cell towers can't.

(11:52):
During Hurricane Katrina, when cell towers were down and the
Internet was out, AM radio station were still broadcasting. People
could still get information. Can't have that in the new system.
So they convinced car manufacturers that AM radio causes interference
with electric vehicle electronics total fabrication. By the way, my

(12:17):
contact at TESLA tells me there's nothing in an electric
motor that should interfere with AM reception. They just don't
want you to have access to long range, independent radio
communications and shortwave forget about it. Most people under forty
have never even heard a short wave broadcast. They have

(12:39):
no idea you can listen to independent stations from around
the world without any Internet connection whatsoever. Stations that aren't
subject to US government regulation or corporate algorithm manipulation. That's
information they can't control, can't filter, can't shut down remotely.

(13:01):
So they made sure you never learned about it. The
next time there's a real emergency, a real crisis that
threatens their control, you're going to be completely dependent on
them for information. Your phone will only show you what
they want you to see. Your streaming services will only
broadcast what they want you to watch. Your smart speakers

(13:25):
will only tell you what they want you to hear,
and if they want you to hear, nothing at all.
Dead silence across every device you own because you gave
up every independent communication method in exchange for the convenience
of streaming. You traded your freedom for Netflix and Spotify,

(13:48):
and you didn't even realize you were making the trade.
My lawyers, my safety and my NDA compel me to
tell you this is all parody. None of this is real, right,
stay paranoid.

Speaker 2 (14:09):
Hmm
