The Mandela effect is basically when you remember
something you may have seen in a movie, or a song, a corporate logo, the
name of a business, lines from a speech a politician gave, actual Bible
verses and so on.
You remember it a certain way, because you grew up
knowing that to be the case. However, you look now to find evidence that
it was never the way you remember it to be. Some people call this a mistaken memory, but the problem is that in some cases there are
millions of people who remember the same thing you do.
The Mandela Effect can mess with your mind. I do see some people getting a bit carried away with this phenomenon. You have people looking at different things that they claim are Mandela Effects. They aren't.
A simple search online can find the answer to those particular effects. Nothing actually changed. It's not that they misremembered alone, they also didn't properly research. That type of thing discredits the legitimate research being done.
One of the big ones to me was Ed McMahon working at Publishers Clearing House. He would deliver the check and say, "Whomever, you have won $1,000,000." It was a memorable line, and it also became a punchline on late night talk shows and sitcoms and that sort of thing.
It was part of our cultural dialogue at the time. This was back in the 1980s. I was blown away to find out that Ed never worked for Publishers Clearing House, at least in this timeline. He worked for a rival company that is no longer in existence.
The people who do the research into these phenomenon also look for what they call residual effect. This is where they find interviews of the people involved, either video, audio or in print. The people involved remember the same thing. It's very fascinating.
I'm still on the fence with the "Luke, I am your father" line from Star Wars. In this timeline, it's "No, I am your father." I sort of remember it as "No Luke, I am your father." James Earl Jones, voice of Darth Vader, said in an interview that he remembered that line and was waiting to find out how they were going to reveal that Darth Vader was a liar.
One of the big residual effects associated with the Publishers Clearing House thing with Ed McMahon came from the man with whom he had worked for many years.
Who could forget the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson? The show has never been the same since the iconic host retired. McMahon was his sidekick for many years, and Johnny was well aware of the different projects in which Ed was involved. Certainly, he would know Star Search and Publishers Clearing House, right?
The residual effect in question would be Johnny's guest appearance on David Letterman. This didn't happen very often, but Johnny happened to be in New York on business. What made this one interesting was he showed up with a giant check and said he was sorry that Ed McMahon couldn't be there.
However, Johnny said that Ed wanted him to tell David that he had won $1,000,000. If you look at the check he presented him with, it said Publishers Clearing House. This is obviously a "smoking gun" to people who know that the Mandela Effect is real.
Johnny knew Ed well enough to know what company he worked for. If he was going to tell that joke, he was going to tell it right. The joke was that Ed was presenting checks to everybody and he worked for Publishers Clearing House.
If he didn't work for that particular company, that check simply wouldn't have been written as such. What would be the point of that joke? It makes no sense. I'm sure the debunkers out there will come up with excuses, but this one seems pretty obvious. Something changed.
I'm careful not to say that these changes we are witnessing are caused by A or B. Some will say it has something to do with CERN, others will say it's the D-Wave computer and others might say timelines are collapsing on themselves.
I don't know, and I don't know that I would be in a position to ever tell you what the cause is. I just know something is happening. My interest is in documenting all of this and keeping an eye on what legitimate research is being done. I also have an eye towards trying to figure out when this phenomenon started.
Somebody with an open mind can easily check Mandela Effects that are posted out there. A lot of times, the people are careful to make a video saying something happened here. In the description and title of the video, they don't tell you what it is.
They want you to think about what they're about ready to show you and prepare yourself for what they're ready to reveal. In this way, they don't affect your own memory. If you're honest about this, you're going to discover at least a few of these things ring true. That's only part of the mystery, but maybe the rest will be revealed in time.
