 		Unfortunately you can't search for that account number as it doesn't show up in the google searches Sad unless its posted in some sort of forum like this.

That account number has an associated email address (don't know what it is someone at paramount must have it somewhere along with the password) which allows them to access the google analytical website, so I don't think we can find out what account it actually belongs to.

You could try emailing google analytics and see if they will release the websites that link, but I doubt that they would do that at all :/

Falling asleep...I put oven mitt cheese through an anagram generator. One of the results I got was: Hence Movie Test. But then again I also got: Ethic Semen Vote along with 12,000 other nosense possibilities. Are ARGs typically this hard? Is this an ARG at all?

 		wasn't there some gmail address associated with this ARG? One that didn't yield a response?

Maybe that is the email address for the google analytics account. for a password you can try UA-2192557-1 or ACE 2004 or whatever.

Can anyone remember what that address was? I think it came from the whois of one of the IG websites...


EDIT: the gmail address is sk7087SPLATgmail.com, and it's an email from the slusho.jp whois. Let the password guessing begin!

I've been researching more on this crazy Albert Pike figure and I found out some interesting tidbits. We know he was Free mason and was a satanist, but I bet you didn't know he wrote a book in which he predicted three world wars. http://www.thetruthseeker.co.uk/article.asp?ID=1086


listen to this,

"The First World War must be brought about in order to permit the Illuminati to overthrow the power of the Czars in Russia and of making that country a fortress of atheistic Communism. The divergences caused by the "agentur" (agents) of the Illuminati between the British and Germanic Empires will be used to foment this war. At the end of the war, Communism will be built and used in order to destroy the other governments and in order to weaken the religions."

"The Second World War must be fomented by taking advantage of the differences between the Fascists and the political Zionists. This war must be brought about so that Nazism is destroyed and that the political Zionism be strong enough to institute a sovereign state of Israel in Palestine. During the Second World War, International Communism must become strong enough in order to balance Christendom, which would be then restrained and held in check until the time when we would need it for the final social cataclysm."

"The Third World War must be fomented by taking advantage of the differences caused by the "agentur" of the "Illuminati" between the political Zionists and the leaders of Islamic World. The war must be conducted in such a way that Islam (the Moslem Arabic World) and political Zionism (the State of Israel) mutually destroy each other. Meanwhile the other nations, once more divided on this issue will be constrained to fight to the point of complete physical, moral, spiritual and economical exhaustion…We shall unleash the Nihilists and the atheists, and we shall provoke a formidable social cataclysm which in all its horror will show clearly to the nations the effect of absolute atheism, origin of savagery and of the most bloody turmoil. Then everywhere, the citizens, obliged to defend themselves against the world minority of revolutionaries, will exterminate those destroyers of civilization, and the multitude, disillusioned with Christianity, whose deistic spirits will from that moment be without compass or direction, anxious for an ideal, but without knowing where to render its adoration, will receive the true light through the universal manifestation of the pure doctrine of Lucifer, brought finally out in the public view. This manifestation will result from the general reactionary movement which will follow the destruction of Christianity and atheism, both conquered and exterminated at the same time."
Could this game stretch that far? Or is this just a weird coincidence. Either way this is a weird conspiracy theory.


The Freemansons claim this mail exchange beween Pike and his italian freemanson colluege Mazzini is fraud from hategroups (http://freemasonry.bcy.ca/anti-masonry/pike_mazzini.html). Then again, Im sure thats what they would say if they were conspiring to bring about a third world war in the name of Satan.

 		ARGs are not generally this hard. It is my firm belief, based on JJ Abrams' email to Harry Knowles, that they are in the unenviable position of building the ARG while it is in play.

As someone who has participated in a couple ARGs and even made an ARG, I can suggest that we're seeing tiny changes each day to the exposed features, indicating a lot of behind-the-scenes work to get us to a place where they can turn on more sites.

The FTP site at ftp.slusho.jp is the most logical, ARGy, and elegant next step. If I was more of a betting man, I would suggest finding the individual numbers scattered all over (the creepy woman's 8, the odd pattern on the left side of the duck basket and converting that to binary, etc) and seeing what could be made of them as a password.

We have a lot of characters for our story at the Slusho site and the trailer. These characters are what normally drives ARGs. Concentrate your efforts on them.

It is rare to require the initial steps of an ARG to rely on the very esoteric connections we have been attempting. I am not advocating stopping those lines of inquiry, but take them more lightly and with a sense of humor on each other's progress.

Finally, as a person with a great deal of experience in online communities, I'd like to urge all of you to use a bit more humor and politeness when dealing with each other's ideas. Imagine we are in a locked room and are required to brainstorm a solution to a massive problem. Back-biting, telling one another their ideas are silly, stupid, etc is counter-productive and loses us mindshare, which is our only currency.

ARGs flourish, live, die, and become memorable with each new mind that is involved. I can see a large number of new players here - let's make them feel welcome, empowered, and vital to our solution.

So, like "Twelve (un)Angry Men" (and womens, too!)

It'll be the wyckedest sequel to a movie ever!

(Notice the awesome spelling? That's what sleep deprivation will do to ya. (Can I be Henry Fonda in this one?))

But seriously, I think that was the voice of experience speaking. I know I have lashed out in frustration on these forum pages, and I realized afterwards that I was being childish. So, good call. I second your motion for civility amongst us ARrrrrrrGers!

Dude, get some rest. I had to go to sleep at 1:30 last night...this morning. I woke up just a few minutes ago and grabbed a Dew. The only thing new is...EthicSemenVote.com

You need to get at least 2 hours of sleep, and then come back on. It is for your sake, not ours.

It really does look like the explosion could've been City Hall. Does that blue line indicate the line of sight from the camera, leading to 401 Broadway, or nearby?


The blue line is my best guess as to where the video was shot from. The explosion would be in front of the Municipal building but still behind the Woolworth building.

Ok. Looking at these images, the buildings appear closer together in the trailer than they do on the map. Perhaps the angle was more westward in the map? But I checked Google Maps and search the location of 401 Broadway in relation to City Hall, and that address is quite a few streets behind City Hall, where my arrow is pointing:

http://img178.imageshack.us/img178/329/mapofexplosionnx5rl0.png

But this would mean that the explosion should be happening behind the Municipal building, and in front of Woolsworth, which is clearly not what's happening in the pictures.

I'm not sure what to do with this.


You're right, if thats Municipal Building, theres no way they are as far up north as 401 Broadway. Assuming the location of the explosion is more relevant and intentional than the landmarks on the street around them, they must be west of City Hall Park.

Right circle is Woolsworth, and left circle is Municipal, right?



Now, my Googlemap is kinda upside down from yours, so I better post a pic to avoid confusion.



On this map, right circle is Municipal, left is Woolworth, which means to get the angle from the trailer, you have to be somewhere along the blue line, right? Which is Murray St, crossing W Broadway and Greenwich St, or more likely Park St one step south, since later in the trailer they seem to be on the very street Woolworth is on.

That would also make the trajectory for the SOL head something like this:

,
leading me to belive it was not thrown from Liberty Island, but carried to about where the explosion took place




Which, either way, seems to be pretty much right on top of City Hall, and that might possibly be the only interesting bit about this trail.

 		One of the wierd things with the video is tha after the explosion, the building is still standing when they show it again. Maybe the filming is not in the correct order. Maybe that guy at the end is really supposed to be in the middle of the timeline for the video and the people running outside is from the Earthquake and the 2nd exlosion happend first, and then the 1st explosion happened.

IDK. Just my thoughts.

 		Has anyone tried http://www.cloverfield.jp/ it looks a little strange to me.

I also looked at http://www.clover.jp but it automatically adds the .co.jp at the end.

I keep trying http://www.63degrees.com I can't see the page, I keep getting an error 403, forbidden.
