Mega PROPS to all the speedies who got "traitor"! (Not me) Earlier when I opened the original JPEG with WinRAR it revealed the "wow_you_found_it.jpg" zip-file.
My computer showed it as a corrupted file even after I rebuilt it. Mentioned this to shapeLITE480. Reckon that's why he was kind enough to post the 2nd image for us.

Ohhh that's explains it. Well lord knows that if I had needed to manipulate the original image to extract the second image, I never would have even gotten that far.

Well danteIL, am blown away you translated it so quickly. After I saw your fine work I submitted "Judas" just to have a small chip still in the game.

Well I discovered that Google Translate, bless its heart, has a "Cyrillic keyboard" option that becomes available if you ask it to translate from Russian. So it was just a matter of typing in the letters and seeing what popped out. I still had to Google the result to get the English, but it made it a lot easier.
In other news, apparently I did "win" and now shapeLITE seems to be going off his rocker a bit:

I'm guessing that the second picture is Princip, the assassin.

What's interesting is that it wasn't in Russian Cyrillic, it was in Serbian Cyrillic. And Ferdinands assassin was a Serbian.

Yeah I thought so When I hadn't been able to find a j on the Russian Cyrillic alphabet I looked up others and found the Serbian one.
LOL I took the long way in translation.

With the new video and the new letters it looks like we're getting parts of a message that are filling out slowly.
The first letters were O U M N ST the second O OU DM IN STT adding a couple of letters to the first message. I don't think it's something to decode, it's more a wait and see kind of thing.
On a side note, the twitter has been talkative again today. I made a comment about one of their statements being a ambiguous and they replied
Quote:
Ambiguity Ms. Akui... How about some black and white? Before November I will kill someone and you will watch.

I got randomly followed by the twitter account, I didn't know what to think after the latest tweet, so I had to dig around here LOL... Glad it's part of an existing thing, and not some randomly creepy dude.
It looks like I have got some reading and catching up to do, I am curious.
I didn't really have much time to devote to ARG right now (which is why I never rejoined This Is My Idea), but sucked into another rabbit hole I go....
