The following is a paraphrased re-enactment of a conversation with an individual we will call "runner."
________________________________________________________________________
Me: So that is why her nose is bleeding in this movie Taken. It's a microchip lodged up her nose.
Runner: My nose bleeds like that also. Sometimes a little, sometimes a lot. I went to the doctor and he could not find a cause.
Me: Well, he would not find a cause. But that means it is lodged behind your eyes and ears, so they can process everything you say and see. They learn about your culture and your language by watching you.
Runner: It would be worse in hot weather. I'm just running, and there it goes. I practice for long competitions, so I run in the mountain behind my house. That was in Eastern Algeria near Tebessa. My mom always said to use the main roads and stay close to home, but I used to run across that mountain barefoot, even. The air was fresh and clean, there were plants and animals everywhere.
Me: It sounds beautiful. Did you ever see a ship?
Runner: No, I but I can tell you that once there was a strange fog. Eerie, not normal. And I know that mountain because I run it regularly. But on that day, I don't know what happened. I was in a dense fog and I could hardly see anything, but I continued to run. And when the fog lifted, for some reason I was really disoriented and I was deep in the forest in a place I had never been.
There were coyotes and foxes and animals and I have to admit I was scared. It was starting to get dark. I don't know where the time went. It took some time to re-orient myself, to find my way back.
Me: Did you ever see the beings? There are people who say they are taken and their clothes are backwards, or they are wearing somebody else's stuff.
Runner: No, nothing like that. But on a few occasions, I would wake up with marks on my body. My mother could see bruises and she would ask me what happened. Sometimes it was happening as often as three times a week, but I never remembered anything.
Me: Was this happening to anybody else in your family?
Runner: Just my little brother. He had a high fever once. I just assumed it was caused by spirits because he would have these dreams of "little beings" that sounded to me like a description of what jinn must look like. So I got the Quoran out and I read to him, to get the spirits to leave him alone. It seemed to help."
Me: Were you ever sick?
Runner: No, I am normally very healthy, except I had that fever too. I'm 32 now, so I guess it has been a while that the experiences were happening. I always thought it was just the jinn.
Me: Is it still happening?
Runner: Not any more, since I came to America this last year. I guess also because they used to come around 3:00 in the morning, and that is the time I get off work now, and I don't get to sleep until 5:00 or 6:00 so I guess I messed up their plans.
Me: I had two brothers who were taken as you two were, and they were taught different skills on the ships. one was taught engineering, the other communications.
Runner: Math skills are excellent. I earned 19 out of 20 on my tests. Also, I felt compelled to learn languages. I speak Amazigh and Arabic already, then I learned French. I didn't use that much, so then I learned English. Now I wish I had just learned more English sooner.
Me: Well, they probably taught you a lot of stuff on the ship and when you have to remember it, in the event of an emergency, you will remember.
Runner: Yeah, when my brother was sick he started mumbling some strange language and nobody could tell what he was speaking. You know, it was none of the languages I speak.
Me: It was probably Zeta. The beings from Zeta Reticuli. They have a binary star system with two planets, Zeta A and Zeta B. He would have learned their language. Many abductees are taught to read and write it, you know, so they can understand directions.
Runner: Well, it was not from here, as far as I could tell. It was weir sounding.
Me: You can see, on this movie, that they present screen images. They make the little child believe he is following a friendly squirrel who just happens to be life-sized! And they make him believe the ship is a tree house so he will go inside. Pretty interesting, huh? They did something similar to me. They made me believe the ship was an RV or an apartment, only it was round and all the furniture was fastened down.
Runner: I always do my prayers to keep the jinn away from me. That is what I thought they were.
Me: Well, you can see by the movie that they can always find you because of the microchip. And prayer does not seem to stop them, and neither does moving.
Runner: No, and I think they can change time too.
Me: Yes, they understand how to warp time so it goes slower or faster, so they can move backwards or forwards.
Runner: So on a ship the person many have been gone for days, but he thinks it is only hours.
Me: Yes. They do report that. Or that it feels like days but they are then returned back in time to the same day. Wow, I am surprised that you actually seem to understand all of this.
