Trust me. This is pure and absolute bullshit.
During some really monotonous midwatches, we would do damn near anything to break the boredom, including playing tapes backward just for the fukk of it. We learned an interesting thing, if you play a tape backwards, the words would sound like some foreign goullish. If, however, you recorded your voice saying the goullish, played backwards it would then sound like the english word we first recorded. No magic and certainly not an incredible revelation.
I only listened to the Rice recording and it didn't sound unlike what I've heard before. I did note, however, that the narrator (Ken Welch) played a little game by altering the sounds on reverse play. If you will note, he said himself -- on some phrases he "boosted the volume", that is, he altered the sound to make a syllable sound different the goullish it was. Anyone who hears the reverse play knows that Rice didn't say "Nuke" or "Terrorists." The goullish sounded more like in-uke and saracid. But by altering the sound, by emphasizing some syllables, de-emphasizing others and, as Welsh said, "expanding" others (expanding is nothing more than making a sound last longer and editing out parts of the sound) he got the goullish to sound more like nuke and terrorist. In other words, Welsh made the damn words himself.
Recording a word and playing it backwards DOES NOT reveal any unconscious thought or word. It simply gives you what the word sounds like, in reverse.
Makes me wonder though -- to what lengths will some people go to arouse suspicion in the minds of the already suspicious ?
