Don't worry, I'm on DSL and its still not loading right for me either.
I noticed earlier today that running the flash from within the subLYMONal.com domain seemed to hang when it went to load the video. The most successful way seems to have been to use the DIRECT link to the flash at http://129.33.95.179/shell.swf and follow the directions (which were to type 'listen', listen to the rapper and make him 'look' by clicking on his eye, then 'watch' by submitting the password.)

I'm going to be seeing Talib in a couple weeks. If I get the chance I'm going to have to ask if he knows his eye is the portal to Lost.

A very helpful You-Tube presentation of the video; apparently I'm not the only one subject to the terrors of dial-up.....

I feel sublymonally inclined to get broadband....I WILL get broadband.....I will drive my Jeep Compass to the Verizon store and GET broadband.....
EDIT: D'oh, looks like this is a repeat of an earlier post by another user!

So now the questions are,
1. Who was ringing the phone?
2. Who was at the door?
and
3. Who was doing the shooting?

Shucks. Bad luck for Rachel!
Do you think they killed her off after they realised how many people disliked her?

Well, she managed to upload a video and make a post on her blog, so she can't be that dead.

I wish this wasn't a bloody flash movie so we could youtube it. Following the experience on dialup is an experience in and of itself.
Dont want to put any pressure on him, but matt the pale was able to extract the video the last time it was in a flash movie, I believe? If he, or anyone else is able to, it'll go straight on my argbackup youtube.
Someone at TLEC reported it up here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5UrIcmbN-tE
I know, but i'd still rather have a copy on my computer. And I can't find the right file to extract from the flash (Though I have no idea what i'm doing, so i'm probably looking at the wrong thing)

I dont believe it was her who uploaded it and posted it. If someone got into her room, they uploaded it, and then maybe it was mel0drama or someone similar who posted it up.

I think so. Look:

Rachel, I'm taking your silence as a call for help. I know you wanted to make sure these videos are secure, but I think people need to see this video. I'm putting it where a lot of people can find it. I only hope you're not... no, I have to stop with the bad thoughts!
Mel0Drama is so dramatic!

Oh dude, the shooting might just have been fireworks, and the ringing of the phone was room service and the banging on the door was, in fact, the Landshark, or "le Requin de Terre" as it's known in French.

Remember this face? McIntyre, 38, Communications Director of the philanthropic nonprofit The Hanso Foundation apparently lost control of the vehicle. Officials pulled his body and that of Darla Taft corporate liaison of the Global Welfare Consortium from the submerged car. Initial ruling is that the crash is accidental. It was no accident. They were murdered.
The picture from this newspaper article just doesn't look all that much like the girl from the GWC that Rachel filmed kissing Hugh......
I slightly enhanced these photos to get a better look at them.

I think they look a lot a like. Think about pictures of celebrities all made up verses their everyday apperance. That is what it looks like to me.

There appears to be several intentional similarities, but there's enought differences to make me suspiscious. When Rachel merely flashed us the picture giving us no real opportunity to get a good look at it, I began to think something might be up. I'm just not sure that's really the same girl. One huge difference is their noses. "Darla" in this newsclipping has more of a broad nose where the original GWC girl's nose is more pointed, plus the GWC girl has more pronounced dimples. I'm not ruling out the possibility that they're the same, it's just that they don't look it to me wherein I'm wondering if Darla's ID might have been given to a dressed-up look-a-like. I'm still wondering if "Gidgetgirl," who certainly may have the real name "Darla Taft," is actually Persephone (despite Rachel's continued claims to the contrary), and that all of this is a huge cover-up for P to go still deeper under cover. This also makes me wonder if Persephone might be the murderer as well.

Then again, I just asked my wife if this is the same girl. Knowing nothing about this ARG or anything about who she is, to my surprise she said "yeah." I don't know. Maybe I'm just looking at it wrong, but it still looks like different girls to me.

Gus Raja,
Thanks for the pictures. I also don't think they look like the same person. I think maybe Darla/GigetGirl faked her death or was faking that she was the real Darla while she was involved with Hugh. The hair is he same color and cut. The blouse is the same. These are similarities that can easily be faked. The noses, chins and eyes are just a bit different, though
I still think it's too big of a stretch to think Rachel or Persephone is a murderess, but maybe the fake Darla is.
