Analysts Find Secret Messages after Parsing Digital File
It’s no surprise that the new CD “Hillary Clinton’s Speeches Played Backwards” is earning rave reviews from Democrats, who shower it with plaudits like insightful, inspiring, awesome and uplifting.
But the real surprise is that Republicans seem to love the backwards speeches, too.
“Finally, I can understand every word she’s saying and plumb their true meaning. Thanks, Hill,” wrote the prominent conservative blogger, Wingnut.
Another blogger, Publican Boy, said that for the first time he now understands Senator Clinton’s philosophical underpinnings and finds them “surprisingly refreshing.”
“When you listen to her speeches backwards, they begin to make a lot of sense,” Publican Boy wrote. “This was very smart of her to bring them out on CD. I still wouldn’t vote for her for president, of course, but her backwards speeches show a very keen and inventive mind at work.”
A Clinton spokesman said that the Senator’s decision to issue the CD, which also contains the same speeches played forward, represented her desire “to let the public have the full record, warts and all.”
“Senator Clinton believes in transparency both in government and in the thinking of the government’s elected officials,” Cotswald Edwards said. “She wanted the speeches out there in as complete a form as possible.”
Since the speeches are on a compact disk, both the forward and backwards versions are in digital form. This has provided a cadre of computer geeks an opportunity to conduct further analysis.
At the Web site DigitalAwe, Raptor Boy posted the results of subtracting the forward digital file from the backward digital file.
“I expected them to cancel one another out and the result to be zero,” he wrote. “Guess what! They don’t. There’s a forward secret message in which it sounds like an angry Hillary shouting at Bill. ”
Raptor Boy said he then doubled the forward file and subtracted a single copy of the backward file.
“Another secret message,” he said. “It’s hard to make out, but I think maybe it’s a wiretap of a Hillary phone conversation with someone. I can’t tell who, but I have a lot more analysis of these files to do.”
He said he is experimenting with taking a square root of a tripled forward file and then multiplying that with a binomial expression based on the backward file.
“I think there’s a lot of things we can learn about Hillary by slicing and dicing these speeches,” he said. “The public deserves to know the whole truth.”
