@Ketchup_Keith: No worries! I wasn't sure how many other people got Horry's message, and the 24 hours before account deletion thing made me a little anxious. xD Since I typically just lurk around, it caught me by surprise! Guess I'm kinda part of this now

Sorry to everyone with questions since I didn't ask him any before it was too late! I'm curious to know if anybody else managed to message him and got some type of response. I... just wished him a good luck to be nice. Mr. Green

Not sure how long you guys have been following this for, but did you catch the maintenance uploads from awhile back? The first ones were broadcasted following the first three tv spots and mentioned some sort of baptism program which clearly had a connection to the 'water' theme that was present. I'm interested to see what arises following this next set!

I'm looking forward to seeing these as well. Things are prolly gonna be getting more ominous from here onwards Very Happy

(hope double posting isn't bad, but I didn't want to lump this with my last one...)

SpecOrgCorp Fun Fact: Maybe this has already been seen by other people, but after reading a comment on r/UnfavorableSemicircle (like others, that's how I ended up here) saying that the SpecOrgCorp ARG is blatantly advertising themselves via linking up with other ARGs, I googled "Spectacular Organic Corporation" and found that earlier on in the month they were visiting actual health and wellness sites/vlog things and leaving comments advertising their GM Juice. I thought that was kind of amusing. ^^

So I've been trying to figure out the significance of October 24th, 1926 and I found something. I don't think 10/24/26 refers to date, I think it refers to a biblical passage.
Matthew 10:24:26 reads


Quote:
The disciple is not above his master, nor the servant above his lord.

It is not enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call him of his household?

Fear them not therefore ; for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.


I think Doug Horry is the disciple and that the House Beelzebub is Spectacular Organic Corp.The bolded part just seems to be about us trying to find the hidden messages in the videos.

Woa, nice find. I'd not have thought of that, for two reasons: wouldn't have thought of looking up biblical passages and especially not in that date format.

Speaking of which, isn't Spectacular Organic supposed to be based in Canada? The lottery prize is a trip to Toronto. As far as I can tell, they don't use the US date format there ( https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-standard-date-format-for-Canada ). So would they really use that format in a clue?

And beside that, it seems to be a message to Doug. Would that mean they planted/crafted the cult picture specifically for him to find? That changes it from information we shouldn't have seen to an actual message.

Just my thoughts, could very well be you're on the right track anyway and made a great discovery Smile

Maybe he WAS supposed to find that picture...

I mean, what are the odds he would've come across something like that by chance? You would think they would be very careful about protecting information like that, unless Doug had some earlier suspicions and was stinking his nose in places he maybe should't have been sticking it Embarassed

New YouTube video just mailed out featuring Michio Kaku called 'What Should YOU Care About?

https://youtu.be/QNLYLaILNwE

Has the quickly vanishing tag 'Mankind Has Stopped Evolving, BigThimk' in the bottom right at 0:03 seconds in. Spelling mistake? Searched Google, but nothing on BigThimk, wondering if it should be ...Think?

At 0:16 there's some clouding of the image but nothing visible.

Not sure whether this is important, but at 1:17, the Spectacular Organic logo seems to spell out the word 'CULAR O' due to shading before it all shades in. Probably nothing important, but Cularo is a city in Eastern France that was renamed to Grenoble. Grenoble is a major scientific centre in the fields of physics, computer science and applied mathematics. The European Molecular Biology Laboratory has a base there and they are at the forefront of innovation in life sciences research.

Might be reaching a bit Smile


The worrying thing is the line in the odd computerised female voice 'We might not be genetically engineering you with our products.'

Emphasis on the 'might'!

Also at 1:03, ghosted in the background, there appears to be old faithful or some other type of geyser with a crowd of folks watching...not unlike the people shown in the crop.

No idea what to make of it though..

Wouldn't say there's any particular meaning behind the geyser, just a visual to match the narration ("...cleansing the world of what doesn't matter...")

The Grenoble detail is quite interesting considering they are definitely relevant in the biological field with consideration for the EMBL.

Watched it/listened to it carefully several times and could only find one instance of code, at the bottom of the screen immediately before it cuts to black around the 0:41 mark. It's morse. Screenshot below:

Great catch. Struggling to translate it thou Sad

I get 'ELTGUST EIMTRN# 1IO#.'

Fairly sure that's wrong Smile Could be AUGUST as the morse is quite similar being:

.- ..- --. ..- ... -

Not sure where we go from here. Looked for important incidents on that date, Nothing jumped out except:

U.S. 1977 U.S.A. CIA and Mind Control 3rd Aug. 1977 : As of today the CIA has spent a total of $25 million over 25 years started in 1950 to study mind control and brainwashing. Research was done by Dr. D. Ewen Cameron on sensory deprivation, isolation, and his own methods of "psychic driving". He did these experiments at McGill University in Montreal. The psychiatric patients that Cameron used as subjects were damaged for life. The CIA also funded drug experiments on patients and staff at Memorial Hospital in Providence, Rhode Island. Brainwashing experiments were also done at Cornell University Medical Center and Dr. Carl Pfeiffer did LSD studies on federal inmates in Atlanta, and the Bordentown Reformatory in New Jersey from 1955-64.

Errmm, likelihood is that something will happen on that date as I forgot we haven't hit August the 3rd yet this year. I'm an idiot, so discount the above Smile

Just a guess, but since August the 3rd is tomorrow, it could be the second batch of "maintenance videos" that will be released, as vaguely announced previously? It'll be interesting to see what timezone the 12AM refers to, if this is the case.

I don't know if this is just a coincidence but it seems like The Black Watchmen is also having an update on August 3rd.

Looks like they're based in EST, from their tweet about the first maintenance session: https://i.redd.it/92vhhf0t13ax.png

I'll do my best to keep up and download any videos they upload (ought to be tonight, 2 and a half hours from now), plus the titles/descriptions etc. If anyone wants to be safe and do the same feel free. Better safe than sorry, ya know?

@Ir0ns, yup looks like it's some sort of misspelling (either purposeful or not, I can't be positive), here's the source they seemed to be trying to credit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UkuCtIko798

Nice job catching the morse on this one, it was particularly easy to miss this time around!
