I am not arguing the existence of anybodies thoughts but my own, in your case it will be your own. Hence 'I think, therefore I am'.

I could easily claim that a greater power has controlled my mind and forced me to think the thoughts I do. Ever heard of brain-washing?
I will quote myself,

If I am being deceived, I must exist in order to be deceived or else there is nothing to deceive.
You yourself have not denied your thought, you have simply doubted any control over the thought. Whether you are in the Matrix, or a brain in a jar being probed by a mad scientist, your thoughts exist and you cannot deny that they do, though that isn't to say that you have to trust them. Maybe you are being brainwashed, but again, in order for your thought to be deceived, it must exist in some form or other.
