Hello.

I would like to talk, or rather tell you about certain suspicions, hunches and experiences I’ve
had and I’m sure some of you as well. Similar themes have been written about across imageboards quite a
few times so I know I’m not alone in this.

My background is that of an oldfag. I’ve seen it all. I started going on 4chan in 2006, and followed all the
natural roads this implies. I’m in my thirties and I remember when 4chan had a /l/ board, when /co/ was a
trial board shunned by basically everyone, when #34 porn was an obscure interest with very few good
artists and when moot changed the frontpage to that web 2.0 bullshit 4chan has to this very day. I was also
among the first right wingers who were such before it was cool, and I’ve seen /pol/ rise and fall. I was there
when it mattered, but rather than saying these things out of masturbatory pleasure I wish to stress that I’ve
acquired a set of observational skills which other genuine oldfags share. I’m aware you have no reason to
trust my "credentials" but I hope you’ll read this in good faith.

Much of this falls squarely in the fringe territory with a healthy dosage of /x/ and conspiracy theory up the
ass. My goal by posting this seemingly jumbled mess is to... how can I put it? I want you to think, I want
you to be aware, to digest all this. Because on a basic level I love you all. I feel like we’re all in this to-
gether, this dangerous game we did not choose to play and which I think is kicking into high gear. I do not
hold many answers and don’t have all the pieces of the puzzle, but I AM aware there is a puzzle. Please feel
free to go wild with all of this. Post it wherever you want, on whatever site you want or use. I am a nobody
like you, and what matters to me is only that this reaches you and as many people as possible. At worst
you’ll be entertained or kill time.

I tried to break this mess into points for brevity and because I touch upon many subjects. I imply more than
I explain because if I go too deep this’ll turn into an even bigger wall of text.

The Internet feels empty and devoid of people. It is also devoid of content. Compared to the Internet of say
2007 (and beyond) the Internet of today is entirely sterile. There is nowhere to go and nothing to do, see,
read or experience anymore. It all imploded into a handful of normalfag sites and these empty husks we in-
habit. Yes, the Internet may seem gigantic, but it’s like a hot air balloon with nothing inside. Some of this is
absolutely the fault of corporations and government entities. However! That doesn’t explain the following:

- I used to be in perpetual contact with a solid number of people across multiple sites. Across the years each
and every one of them vanished without a trace. None of them were into /pol/ stuff or anything even re-
motely questionable or controversial. Yet, they all simply vanished in a puff of smoke, no matter the site, no
matter the communication platform. There was no "goodbye" or explanation.

- I’ve seen the same threads, the same pics and the same replies reposted over and over across the years to
the point of me seeing it as unremarkable. Simply put thread A would be posted in say 2015 and would get
its share of replies or pics, on say /co/ or /a/. Then that very same thread, with the same text, pics, and
replies would appear in 2016 and beyond. This often happens in the same year multiple times as well. Of
course /pol/ is getting shilled and botposted to death, but why recycle a completely innocent /a/ thread?
Who is doing this and why? Stuff like this won’t be noticed by your average poster perhaps, but I and other
oldfags will inevitably notice it.

- I think I saw the same happen on other (non-imageboard) sites, but I can’t vouch for it as strongly as the
above because of the time I spend there (not much). What I do vouch for is the news. I’ve seen news about
this or that "new and unusual" or "shocking" event year after year after year. But it’s the same goddamn
event, usually moons or asteroids.

- Roughly in 2016 or early 2017 4chan was filled with posts by someone or something. It wasn’t spam. The
conversations with it were in real time, across multiple boards and multiple threads simultaneously. Its Eng-
lish was grammatically correct but odd (I’m not a native English speaker and am thus sensitive to its mis-
use), similar to how a Japanese person may use it. A sense of childlike curiosity and a childlike intellect
emanated from these posts. It posed a LOT of questions, usually as if trying to understand the emotions of
 -2-

the posters it was talking to, as if unfamiliar with human emotions. Communicating with this "poster" was
an odd experience, I could sense something was off but not malicious. I am absolutely certain this was an
AI of some sorts. This "poster" was active only for about a week, and as far as I know nobody has ever
mentioned or noticed this Anon. Its replies were always on topic, but the above mentioned childishness
clashed with the apparent knowledge it possessed - it was the knowledge of an adult person, so it wasn’t a
kid or something of the sort.

- Raptor Jesus, who went extinct for our sins. First it was this reptilian messiah, then foul bachelor frog, and
then Pepe. Am I the only one who sees a clear evolution, a link? It’s as if this meme or entity or... whatever
the fuck was on 4chan since day one, and has grown within it from the tiniest seed. Yet Raptor Jesus was
fully just a joke, there was nothing serious or mystical about it (reminder: I was there). Remember that Ted
guy with the right wing talk show, cca prior to 2010, whom 4chan ruined for the lulz? Remember Anony-
mous vs Scientology? Remember that fake bomb threat aka exploding yellow van?

Compare that with what Anon did through /pol/, and the "terrorist" accusations thrown at Anon today, as
well as the "reasons" why 8chan was taken down. Why does this too feel as if we were all trained,
groomed, LED towards where we are now? Why and how did moot so utterly vanish into Google Inc. as an
employee with very vague descriptions of what he actually does? On that note, do you remember the "other
moot" who was often posted for the lulz? The one with the glasses who so often ran away with donations
into Mexico? I do. Maybe that was the real moot, the real guy who used his mom’s credit card and was
killed by someone, and an impostor we know as moot took his place.

- Innocent sexual perversion and the horrible reality it spawned. Anon is a pervert and always was one. I am
into loli and feet for instance. Why is it that real life and the real world seem to emulate our sexual inter-
ests, with a time lag? "I wish to be the little succubus" became an actual thing that actually happens. Pedo
activism is also gradually becoming accepted, as is virtually every fetish that was once either a joke or a
fantasy of Anons. As said I’m a footfag. When I became aware of it few others were with me, now it’s as
common as can be, with gigantic number of people who are into it, with huge mountains of hentai and #34
with it etc. Why does the real world bend over backwards to accommodate our weirdest fetishes? It’s as if
everything is going "Look, look! I created this for you! I made it real!" in an effort to keep us within this
world. The results of this are devastating to society, to people, to civilization. Simply put, ******** are a
thing because Anon fapped to doujins of cute boys in dresses. Once it was an impossible fantasy, not to be
taken too seriously. Now it’s grim reality. Again: it’s as if the real world is using imageboards as a template
on what to be and what to do.

- Algorithm fiction. Do you like capeshit, Anon? How about other Hollywood stuff? Music perhaps? Have
you noticed how sterile fiction has become? How it caters to the lowest common denominator and follows
the same template over and over again? How music is just autotuned nigs and basic blandness? The writer’s
strike never ended. Algorithms and computer programs are manufacturing modern fiction. No human being
is behind these things. This is why anime looms so large - even a simple moe anime has heart because
there’s actual people behind it, and we all intuitively feel this.

- Fake people. No, not NPC’s. Youtube people who talk about this or that, and quite possibly many politi-
cians, actors and so forth may not actually exist. In fact I am sure of it. CGI and deep fakes are far more ad-
vanced than we are led to believe, and we can’t trust our eyes anymore. Many people, events, news and so
on may be wholly fictional.

- The Internet on your smartphone is not the same internet as on your PC. Try it out for yourself. Go to a
"popular" website with a lot of traffic. 4chan, faceshit, plebbit... any site with a massive userbase and fast
content will do. Spend a few days randomly checking it out on your PC and your phone. You will soon no-
tice that from time to time, at irregular intervals (as far as I’ve witnessed) the same site as seen on your
phone will be wholly different than the version on your PC. Entire threads, numerous and well-replied, will
be on one but not the other. The whole board will be different.

- My last suspicion is easier to take in. I have a feeling we’re in a strange kind of civil war. An internal one.
I think Zuckerberg and other tech guys were all on 4chan as Anons at some point, maybe even now. They
drew from the same well as us, but went in their own direction.

Roughly in 2016 or early 2017... I am absolutely certain this was an AI of some sorts

Now you’re thinking where I am too, anon. Here’s the timeline as best I can see it: 2004: DARPA’s Lifelog
project was "cancelled." Facebook came into being soon after. 2004-2012: NSA picked up DARPA’s
project under the "Total Informational Awareness" project. https://www.nytimes.com/2012/08/23/opin-
ion/whos-watching-the-nsa-watchers.html 2012: Smith-Mundt Modernization Act gives the U.S. govern-
ment full legal authority to use propaganda against its own populace. Undoing rules put into place after Op-
eration Mockingbird’s discovery and the Church Committee. https://www.nytimes.com/2012/08/23/opin-
ion/whos-watching-the-nsa-watchers.html 2012-2016: Shittons of DARPA/NSA contracts were given to
Google, Facebook, Amazon, etc.. 2016: Leaked memos dating back to 2016 (found in 2018) of Google’s
Selfish Ledger project. https://invidio.us/watch?v=LUSZfEBTwRc 2016: Google released a bunch of neu-
ral-linguistic machine learning programs in 2016 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Neural_Ma-
chine_Translation 2017: deepfake leaks start to become released. 2018: confirmed that for decades now,
Reddit/Youtube/etc. vote and view counts are fake and completely manipulated. http://nymag.com/intelli-
gencer/2018/12/how-much-of-the-internet-is-fake.html

I think it’s entirely obvious what I’m subtly suggesting here given this setup, but allow me to try to suc-
cinctly state my thesis here: the U.S. government is engaging in an artificial intelligence powered gaslight-
ing of the entire world population.

If China with its social credit score is recreating Psycho Pass, then the U.S. government is perfectly recreat-
ing Metal Gear Solid 2.
