[UPDATE]RachelBlake.com July 25

Rachel has posted a nice recap for all those joining in the third act.

One part I found pretty cool is that she lays out the Hanso Foundation and what each part is doing wrong:

Quote:

The Mathematical Forecasting Initiative

Their claim: Have you seen their AD? They'd have you believe that "By understanding and modeling the mathematic probability of seismic human events, The Hanso Foundation can illuminate the path ahead and provide a true road map to the betterment of humanity."

The truth: Their population growth models have been used to foster tribal wars in Africa. They have an enclave of mathematicians working in secret on a doomsday formula called the Valenzetti Equation.

Worldwide Wellness and Prevention Development Program

Their claim: "The Worldwide Wellness and Prevention Development Program� [is] a far-reaching educational initiative designed to teach the basics of sanitation, nutrition and disease prevention to the world."

The truth: Hanso-funded hospitals in the developing world have been participating in unauthorized experimentation and live organ-harvesting programs. Patient rights have been violated, families destroyed, and the press accounts have been suppressed.

Mental Health Appeal

Their claim: The Foundation's cutting-edge research and facilities are aimed at fully eradicating mental illness by the end of this century. Their flagship mental health facility, The Vik Institute (in Vik, Iceland), offers gene therapies, radical pharmaceutical treatments and the latest in both surgery and psychotherapy.

The truth: The Vik Institute's own director, Armand Zander, is now missing, presumably murdered, after speaking to me regarding a team of mathematicians working in secret within The Vik Institute. His assertion? That Dr. Thomas Werner Mittelwerk, President of The Hanso Foundation, has used institutionalized autistic savants as human computers to run the mysterious Valenzetti Equation. But to what end?

Electromagnetic Research Initiative

Their claim: "Through a myriad of experiments worldwide, the Electromagnetic Research Initiative brings us a step closer to understanding this crucial force -� and in doing so, our place in the Universe."

The truth: The Hanso Foundation has erected an electromagnetic antenna off the coast of East Asia for some unknown purpose. It has disrupted telecommunications, knocked out satellites and deformed ocean life, but Hanso Foundation bribes to high-placed foreign officials have kept the project up and running.

The Institute for Genomic Advancement

Their claim: "In what may be the most forward-reaching of The Hanso Foundation's active projects, the Institute seeks nothing less than the eradication of disease and birth defects through a deeper understanding of the function and mechanisms of the human genome."

The truth: The Hanso Foundation is tampering with the genetic structures of an unknown number of animal and microbial species. Photo evidence of a beached shark with a Hanso-specific tag, as well as a bacterial outbreak in Tanzania, indicates they have already released some of these genetically modified species into the wild.

The Life-Extension Project

Their claim: "The grand summation of all of the Foundation's work � from prevention and wellness, to the development of new gene therapies and the development of young minds -� is nothing less than the extension of life itself."

The truth: Their life-extension programs have spawned deadly disease outbreaks in Africa, the news of which has been suppressed with bribes and internal takeovers within the Global Welfare Consortium, the world's leading medical watchdog organization.

The DHARMA Initiative

There is also a seventh project� called the DHARMA Initiative. Little is known about this program, but everything I've discovered has led me to the conclusion that the scientists of the DHARMA Initiative disappeared over 30 years ago.

What happened to them???

* To find the video:
Go to http://monster.typepad.com/monsterblog/2006/07/what_was_your_w.html
Click on the link http://adminsupport.monster.com/articles/bad-boss-mirror/
At the bottom of the page, click on the link 'click here'
Click on the video entitled "Can She Trust Him?"

By the way, all that "He wants me to help you" business? Ignore it. I have no idea what that guy was talking about.

Interesting to me that yet again she reiterates that she doesn't understand what the Fixer was trying to say. I think that's... important, don't you?

Yes, and it suggests to me that there has to be more to the rest of this game than just piecing together this video, because we still haven't learned the details of Rachel's motivations...

Absolutely. There are still some secrets that Miss Blake has kept under wraps � despite her "tell-all" Q&A.

In fact, I'm wondering why she chose to tell everything she has ever found out, on a blog.
