Vanity: Something strange just flashed on my TV and then disappeared.
Comcast TV | September 18, 2017 11: am | Swordmaker

I was just watching an On-Demand episode 9 of Season 2 of Stitchers on Comcast Xfinity when a Gray Box flashed on the screen about 8 inches by 6 inches with the words, as best as I could read it and recall it:

Operation Iraq:
MOVE!
### ### ####

Below those words in the box were a series of numbers that may have been a phone number, but I don't recall any of the numbers. The second set of numbers may have had four digits, not three, but my impression was the pattern was a phone number. There were no dashes separating the numbers.

After just a split second (It was up for less than a second) the box and words disappeared.

I backed the playback of the video to rewatch that segment to re-read the box, thinking it was an important clue to the show, but it was NOT part of the video at all. It simply was not there! I tried it several times, thinking it was a subliminal message in the playback, but nothing was there. It was obviously something transmitted over the signal.

Did anyone else see anything on their TV screens similar to this?

Subliminal projection gone wrong.
If you know you saw it,
it was on too long.
Oh, and drink your Ovaltine.

You need thicker Aluminum Foil. That Dollar Tree stuff just don’t protect as well..........................

I think the real problem is that Aluminum is not Tin. If you want real protection from brain invading waves, you really need Tin Foil. Have you seen any for sale lately? It's proof of a conspiracy to suppress the availability of the good stuff, Tin Foil, that really will protect you! See? Just try and find real Tin Foil these days, not that crappy Aluminum stuff! It leaks like a sieve.

Do you have a ‘Smart TV’?
Does your TV have connection to the Internet via WiFi or phone line?

Does it have BlueTooth?

No WIFI, that's not enabled, but it is connected via Ethernet. No BlueTooth or phone line either. It's possible it's coming through the Internet though. . . or riding on top of the Video signal from Comcast. It is a "Smart TV. . , and a 3D TV. So it could have come through on the left or right eye channel.

I'd be worried if it said something like "Support ANTIFA, Riot like there's not tomorrow!"

The ultimate "Tin Foil Hat Conspiracy:" (Emphasis in bold the editors)

The True Origin Of The 'Tin Foil Hat' And Why It's The Stupidest Thing To Wear If You're Paranoid About The Government
by Michael B Kelley — Business Insider —Jun. 12, 2013, 5:13 PM

Others think the news has led the "tin foil hat" types to come out in spades.

Saying someone is "wearing a tin foil hat" or "is a tin foil hat" means that they have paranoia or a belief in conspiracy theories, especially involving government surveillance or paranormal beings.

Originally, the term referred to the practice of wearing headgear consisting of metal foil to block mind-reading.

Julian Huxley, brother of "Brave New World" author Aldous Huxley, coined the concept in his 1927 work "The Tissue-Culture King":

Well, we had discovered that metal was relatively impervious to the telepathic effect, and had prepared for ourselves a sort of tin pulpit, behind which we could stand while conducting experiments. This, combined with caps of metal foil, enormously reduced the effects on ourselves.

Unfortunately for contemporary tin foil hat wearers, a 2005 study by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology found that the metal hats actually amplify certain radio frequencies instead of blocking them.

From the study (emphasis ours):

It has long been suspected that the government has been using satellites to read and control the minds of certain citizens. The use of aluminum helmets has been a common guerrilla tactic against the government's invasive tactics.

Surprisingly, these helmets can in fact help the government spy on citizens by amplifying certain key frequency ranges reserved for government use.

The findings led the authors to "speculate that the government may in fact have started the helmet craze for this reason."

Now that's a tin foil hat conspiracy theory!

Kind of reminds me of the old days when multifunction printer/fax/phone answering machine combo’s were first sold. When the device got a phone call, there was a shortened ring tone as the device determined what to do with the signal - send it to handset (for person to voice call), send it to fax (to print), send it to answering machine. Just a flash and then it was gone. The device had to “look at it” first before handling it. Maybe that’s the technique for pooled resources here - some people do have their phone line with the TV signal (ATT) and some people don’t etc. Weird.
