    Hello!

    To come to know about you, Ms. Caesar, is a very pleasant experience and to now about the fact that you are to innovate the much needed shielding/defense devices for many targeted individuals worldwide. To know about the Matrix City project and progress made in that regard is a real futuristic concept that has been made possible because of you is worthy of praise and regards.

    Although just a T.I in India, being brain conditioned and programmed by the Indian chapter of the very same western agencies behind it, has been an experience unmatched and a eye opener in many ways. The search from a solution for this slave state invisible signal contained state has ended after being introduced to your name.

    The device that can provide the needed respite and freedom from the body/brain/behavior remotely managed state is available with you and I certainly shall be looking forward to getting one for myself.

    It truly is great to come to know about you and your works. Being arty is fine but to see that science’s achievements can reach to every human live on the planet is a concept many can only dream about. Many congratulations and best wishes.
