 		[EMAIL] From Al Brackin
This helps to bridge the gap & understand the history
I sent a simple note:
Quote:
My name is Red,

I have been in correspondence in my current time (2007) with a groups
of people calling themselves the Committee of the Sedulous
Amalgamation. They have apparently lead me to you and the
Brotherhood.

How can I help?

Hello Red. You have done well to find me by that means.
I have been out of contact with the CotSA since they took that
pseudonym to hide from those who would recognize the name Sodality,
but I have never lost sight of the true goal of the Brotherhood of
Nostredame.

I do not know how much about the time communication interface you
know, but much of the answers you seek can be found at
deus-city.blogspot.com.

I met up with a man named Phillip Moore a few weeks ago. He is alive
and seeking his own destiny - but I fear he knows too much and will
soon become a great threat. Understand that I harbor no ill-will
against him! His last act on the Defense-corp Mexico compound in Dec.
was to free me from my cell via a remote control panel before we each
ran in separate directions. As I understand it he even confessed to
being the real first contact with the future... but none of that
matted a few weeks ago... he still had something I needed. You see,
the men at the secret Defense-corp compound were having him analyze my
hard drive for all of the information about my old PhD time-com
project, but he discovered something he did not expect - a transcript
of a very old page which I originally transcribed when first meting
with Alex Wright's father - the night before we flew to GA, the night
before his plane went down.

I guess Phillip realized that that page was important, that it was
something I had long studied and written about (as I did at
deus-city.blogspot.com), and most importantly - something I did not
realize until later - that it was about him. I met up with him in a
little cantina on the border and we traded: my hard drive for a book
that was given to me by the Sodality - a little distraction that was
published a long time ago by them to seed confusion... but I'm getting
ahead of myself.

You should know that in my time hiding I was with a group of men and
women that have watched and waited for the temporal interface for a
very long time from their hiding places in many major cities in the
Western world. While with them, they explained a number of things to
me which I will now relate to you. Understand this: I'm not crazy, but
I don't mind my enemies thinking that I am. It is time for trust and
cooperation now. It's time for the REAL quest to begin, and the veil
of secrecy to be torn in two.

This is what I learned in my studies with the Sodality:

1566 The first "temporal scientist" Nostradamus dies

1568 His son Caesar Publishes his memoirs as a "prophecy" in hopes of
concealing it in plain sight, His apprentice James Chavingy sets up a
workshop in his name thus forming the first brotherhood of Nostradame
known by them as the "Sodalitas Nostradamus" translated "Nostradame
Sodality", which uses his secret techniques of "prophecy" (or should I
say time communication?) To make predictions for nearly a century
after his death.

1654 The "Folio of the Prophet" is completed just in time for the
remnants of the Roman Inquisition to round them up and execute them as
heretics. (the same thing that happened to Galileo and countless other
scientists in that century) Only a handful of the brotherhood escaped
and went into hiding, changing their name but vowing to protect the
remnants of the folio until the time of the prophecy when the group
could be reformed. Half of the "Folio" was destroyed, about a quarter
put under lock and key at the Vatican, and another quarter
mysteriously dissappeared. This quarter was mostly of the latter
prophecies and were secreted away by the hidden brothers. Throughout
history some later copies and references to the folio surfaced, but
they were little more than footnotes in history, and the Sodality was
all but forgotten in the shadow of the "Prophet" Nostradamus.

1937 Nearly 3 centuries later, Maxine DeSauch publishes a low profile
campy book about prophecy with a number of surprising truths about the
Sodality. This book catches the eye of a man who happens to have a
very old parchment in his posession - a family heirloom and the man
makes contact with the book's publisher. Others soon follow and it
becomes clear that a great destiny awaits the descendants of the
brotherhood of Nostredame. The time of the recollection had arrived.

1957 The sodality begins a somewhat higher profile disinformation
campaign to hide themselves "in plain sight", most notably with an
entry into a book series on "The world's Secret Societies" which began
as a series of articles in a prominent magazine. The Sodality article
entitled "The Sodality of Nostredamus: A Dozen Dead Prophets" appeared
between "Freemasons and Devil Worship" and "The Templars: Brotherhood
of Blood." (It was this book that I gave to Phil to throw him off...
but I now fear it did not work.)

2006 Time communication is a reality once again thanks to the hidden
efforts and support of the Sodality - now working under a new name for
the purpose of finding worthy members in preparation for the day when
the Folio will be reunited... The group takes over the project but
something goes terribly wrong as Foo, my project coordinator hijacks
the feed and deposes the old team. I realized that I needed help if I
was going to defeat Foo at his own game. I sought out my loyal friends
- David, Rose, and Alex... In so doing, fate took me to the doorstep
of this group - to a man who was a member. Alex Wright Sr.. He dropped
everything and risked all to hide me - to give me an untraceable route
to safety and to find my own destiny - my own copy of a page of the
folio, given to me by a man of the Sodality who lives near St
Augustine, FL. (Many of you followed me in this journey at
nostredame.blogspot.com, and for that I am eternally grateful).
Ironically though this same action caused The Sodality to lose its
grip on the project for good when Mr. Wright's plane went down and in
the confusion a hostile trans-temporal takeover allowed Foo (with the
help of those who believed in his lies at foo-defiant.blogspot.com) to
leverage control over not only the feed from the future and establish
the interface at deuscity.com - but also the very company that had
secretly financed the project from the beginning. Alex Wright Sr.'s
company. The Sodality's company. Defensecorp.

...You likely know the rest, and present history is known only to the
citizens of Deus City 2036 who lived it.

I now need to know how many we have in this time who are willing to
take their own journey. For a while I doubted that I was still myself
in the future and that the Sodality will change names once again - but
now my future self has given me the confirmation I needed through one
of you. The folio WILL be recollected. We must find who has the pages
and where they have been hidden. The clues lay in the interface
created by the enemy - in the near future that is Deus City. The task
will not be easy, and If our secret is discovered then we may have to
beat our enemies there... perhaps to every major city in the world...
But we are destined to succeed brothers, we are merely fulfilling our
unchangeable destiny.

I have said so myself.

-Brother Theo, 2007
DEUS EX MACHINA!

 		So I suppose that Brakin is officially on our side, then? I was always unsure about that, knowing only that eldoradowatcher was on our side, and Foo was apparently "the enemy."

Interesting to know.

 		heh... if you're going to be technical about it (and since you may not know about the original blog/the conflict between Brackin and Foo), then you're on Brackin's side. Razz

 		I suppose. I say "our side" because I for one am loyal to tcotsa and I wasn't sure if they were anti-foo and neutral to Brakin (representing their own, new power) or were actually pro-Brakin. All I knew for sure is that I was pro-eldorado and anti-Foo. I was merely taking this as confirmation that tcotsa and Brakin were aligned instead of indifferent or even anti.

 		yeah, the tCoSa is friendly to Brackin. Foo isn't really friendly to anyone. Very Happy

 		I miss Foo's little sarcasms...

maybe I should start pummeling him with messages like Trace.
Haven't heard from him in a while either.

aarg im rambling. nice E-mail red. It gives mostly information that has been dribbled on us before, but now in one single format and definitely confirming tCotSA's connection to Brackin and his sodality.

Yeah, I wonder where our boy, trace has gone. I emailed him and pm'd him but never got a response.

Poor Prophet Nightshade - his self proclaimed apostle has disappeared.

In fact, I pm'd Bishop about trace, too. He said he hadn't heard from him in a while either and hoped he didn't get killed in action. Shocked Shocked
