00:00Secret mind-reading technology
00:01Allegedly used for surveillance
00:03Victims speak out
00:05By investigative reporter
00:07In a shocking revelation, multiple individuals
00:10Have come forward with accounts of a secret
00:12Technology that allegedly
00:14Invades their privacy in ways
00:16Previously thought to exist only
00:18In science fiction
00:19The technology, capable of reading
00:22Thoughts, seeing through people's eyes
00:24And hearing through their ears remotely
00:26Has left its alleged
00:28Victims in states of despair
00:29Humiliation and constant
00:32Psychological distress
00:33The stories of two individuals
00:36Recounted below, paint a
00:38Disturbing picture of a technology
00:40Used for surveillance in the most
00:42Invasive and inhumane manner
00:44Imaginable
00:45They're in my head 24-7
00:49Marcos Silva
00:50A 27-year-old man
00:52From Brazil, says his ordeal
00:54Began in late 2019
00:55After he made a decision
00:57He deeply regrets years earlier
00:59Silva admits he downloaded
01:02Illegal material
01:03Child porn
01:04A choice he describes
01:05As the worst mistake of his life
01:08Not long after
01:09He began hearing voices in his head
01:12When the voices started
01:14Speaking in my head
01:15It was a complete shock
01:17It felt like my world
01:18Had fallen apart
01:19I wasn't expecting it at all
01:22I felt extremely humiliated
01:24At first, I thought maybe
01:26They would only be in my head
01:28For a few days
01:28However, every day
01:30They were there
01:31Abusing me
01:32I felt increasingly hopeless
01:35About the voices ever stopping
01:36They were constantly
01:38Commenting on my actions
01:39Sometimes bullying me
01:41Sometimes just narrating
01:43What I was doing
01:44And other times
01:45Being outright sadistic
01:47And cruel
01:48One word they kept repeating
01:50In my head
01:50Was gustosa
01:51Which means hot
01:53In English
01:53It was a way
01:55They found to harass
01:56And abuse me
01:56It felt like a form
01:58Of psychological rape
01:59It's very disgusting
02:01When you think about it
02:02I wasn't even thinking
02:04That word in my head
02:05I tried replacing it
02:06With other similar words
02:07That didn't have
02:08The same sexual connotation
02:10It became very clear to me
02:12That this wasn't schizophrenia
02:14Marcos explained
02:15The way they behaved
02:17And spoke in my head
02:18Made it obvious
02:19That these voices
02:20Weren't auditory hallucinations
02:21They were real people
02:23Speaking behind the voices
02:24Some of the voices
02:26Were familiar
02:27Like those of
02:28Old classmates
02:29Or acquaintances
02:30But others
02:31Were completely unfamiliar
02:34Silva described the experience
02:35As a form of
02:36Psychological torture
02:39It's humiliating
02:40Beyond words
02:41Every moment of my life
02:43Is under scrutiny
02:43Even my most private
02:45Intimate moments
02:47They're always there
02:48Eating with my family
02:50Surfing the internet
02:51Even while I dream
02:53I hear them
02:53He added
02:54I'm not a bad person
02:56I made a mistake
02:58And I've been paying
02:59For it every day since
03:00If I'd known this could happen
03:02I'd have never done it
03:04It's not just voices
03:06It's like they see
03:07Through my eyes
03:08Hear what I hear
03:09I can't even have
03:11My own thoughts anymore
03:13They comment on my dreams
03:15For Sarah Lopez
03:17A 29-year-old single woman
03:19The experience has been
03:20Equally devastating
03:22It started two years ago
03:24She said
03:25I began hearing voices
03:27That would comment
03:28On everything I did
03:29Lopez described
03:31How the voices would
03:32Analyze and ridicule
03:33Her thoughts
03:34And actions
03:35Even in her subconscious state
03:37It's so invasive
03:39Even in my dreams
03:40They're there
03:41Narrating or mocking
03:42What I'm doing
03:43I feel like I've lost
03:45Any semblance of privacy
03:46One of the most
03:47Challenging aspects
03:48For Lopez
03:49Is maintaining a facade
03:50Of normalcy
03:51Around her family
03:52I can't tell anyone
03:54About this
03:54It's too embarrassing
03:55How do you tell someone
03:57That you hear voices
03:58In your head
03:59That you know
03:59Are real people
04:00That they're watching
04:01Everything you do
04:02I have to pretend
04:04Everything is fine
04:05Around my relatives
04:06It's exhausting
04:07And sometimes
04:08I feel like
04:09I'm going to break
04:11Lopez also noted
04:12A peculiar behavior
04:14She's developed
04:14Thought suppression
04:16I've trained myself
04:18To not think
04:18Certain things
04:19If I let my guard down
04:21And think about
04:22Something personal
04:23Or sensitive
04:24I know they'll hear it
04:25And judge me
04:26It's like I'm living
04:27In a constant state
04:28Of fear and shame
04:29It's like they can
04:31See through my eyes
04:32Whatever I look at
04:33They're seeing it too
04:34Lopez said
04:36Daily life has become
04:38A monumental challenge
04:39For Sarah
04:40Simple things like
04:41Washing dishes
04:42Or reading a book
04:42Are almost impossible
04:44They're always there
04:45Talking
04:46Laughing
04:46Criticizing
04:47There's no peace
04:49No quiet
04:49Not even when I sleep
04:52Sarah expressed sympathy
04:54For those who have not
04:55Experienced such a situation
04:56I feel happy for people
04:58Who don't know
04:59What this is like
05:00They don't realize
05:01How lucky they are
05:02To have their minds
05:03And privacy intact
05:04I wouldn't wish
05:05This situation
05:06On anyone
05:08A common thread
05:09Of despair
05:10Across the accounts
05:12Several commonalities emerge
05:14Victims describe the voices
05:16As unrelenting
05:17Cruel
05:18And sadistic
05:19They report feeling
05:20Constantly watched
05:21And judged
05:22Even during
05:23Their most private moments
05:24Many have resorted
05:26To thought suppression
05:27As a defense mechanism
05:28Not only to protect
05:30Themselves from the
05:31Ridicule of the voices
05:32But also to prevent
05:34Inadvertently revealing
05:35Their deepest fears
05:36And insecurities
05:37It's like they're
05:39Trying to break you
05:40Said Silva
05:41They want to see
05:42How far they can push you
05:43Before you snap
05:44And the worst part is
05:46There's no escape
05:47It's 24-7
05:49Even in your dreams
05:51Unanswered questions
05:53The nature and origin
05:54Of this alleged technology
05:55Remain a mystery
05:56Is it a covert government
05:58Surveillance program
05:59A rogue operation
06:01By private entities
06:02A form of psychological warfare
06:05These questions
06:06Have no answers
06:07And those affected
06:09Are left to grapple
06:10With the devastating impact
06:11On their lives
06:12For now
06:13The accounts of
06:14Marcos and Sarah
06:15And others like them
06:17Serve as a chilling reminder
06:18Of how advancements
06:19In technology
06:20Can be weaponized
06:21To strip individuals
06:23Of their most basic freedoms
06:24Whether their claims
06:26Are validated
06:27Remains to be seen
06:28But one thing is certain
06:30If such a technology exists
06:32It poses a profound threat
06:34To humanity's right
06:35To privacy
06:36And autonomy
