 		thanks britt.... Very Happy

britts, gritts and i, all three worked it out longhand after adam pointed out that our cryptogram solving tools were screwing up and confusing us more.... so we all did the work...

also.. adam cited a url that had the quote from stalin on it (probably the only page on the entire internet that attributes that quote to him--- personally i think it's a good paraphrase of something else he said.. but oh well).... but the website he brought up was

http://www.illuminati-news.com/

this might be useful for other content that may come up...

Thanks ncfriend for posting that! That solve took foreverrrr, ncfriend doing much of the grunt work. *claps for nc* Anyway I also wanted to add that we talked to the people who been hacking Adam's AIM and website. They pretty much tried to get info out of us, then said they were watching.. The creepers. hah

Also the list of people are from a (fictional) group called the Illuminati. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illuminati



technically, the existence of the Illuminati has been disputed for a very very long time. One belief is that the Illuminati, to escape persecution by the Church, became what is known world-wide today as the FreeMasons.

Some of the most famous presidents, politicians, scientists , etc have known ties to the secretive FreeMasons.

The symbol of the pyramid with the eye is a known symbol of the FreeMasons as well. It is located on the dollar bill along with "New World Order".

I guess you could compare them to being the Puppet Masters of the World.


BTW - I also recieved an IM on AIM from Adam, tonight. It looks like he is still recruiting, which is a bit odd because there seems to be no lack of effort around here. I guess we're being hand picked at this point lol Worshippy


Good Solve on the Stalin Puzzle guys... definitely a good solve.


one question though - did the bible passage have any relevence to this puzzle other than the numbers?

Also, Adam claims Brent added him to his page, yet the both have parallel storylines. When I asked if he knew someone named Brent, and said their troubles are similar, he got almost defensive about it...

I personally think if they arent the same PM, they are friends OOG..

And finally, ive seen that miggyandme name around somewhere... I cant remember where.. was that really a screw up or was it mistaken identity?


ok guys.. I think im finally caught up. Its good to see alot of my shroud compadres here! whazzaaap pizzy-p, nicole, mc-g, n britt! Bored of the late night chats with Unibot?!?!? lol... damn with this team on the case.. mi5 dont stand a chance!

really all depends on where you read it....some say illuminati was first but a majority seem to say that it all started with everyones favorite knights templer(again all depends on what you read) and how cool would that be? ill tell you..really cool...oh before i forget...on the theme of societys most of the list is atleast suspected masons....and theres the bilderberg group that kinda ties in with masons,illuminati....just somethin to think about

p.s.
good job you 2 i didnt do notthin but hangout and screw it up....ha

I think it is a reference to the Masons --- "'The stone the builders rejected has become the capstone".

 		But how do we connect the Illuminati and MI5?

I went over the illuminati-news website, and found nothing substantial connecting the two groups.

Secondly, the Knights Templar (Spelling Very Happy)were a monastic order created to protect pilgrams heading to the Christian Holy Land following the First Crusade.

 		In recent years there has been so much piffle and tripe written about The Illuminati, Masonic orders, the Knights Templar and how they may/may not be linked (and may or may not be bringing about the end of the world as we know it!) that whatever you read on the subject(s) needs to be taken with a huge vatful of salt.

And the security services? That's a whole other kettle of conspiracy theories right there Laughing

 		Good work last night. The fact the PM is pushing for solves hopefully means s/he will be on top of this game and it'll provide some decent excitement.

Let me do a recap here and make sure I have all this straight. Please correct this where it needs be.

Quote:

Our main character here is Adam Worsley. He's a 25 year old photographer currently living with his grandfather. His mother died when he was two. While snooping around in his grandfather's room, he found a note writen in ciphertext that appeared to be from his mother. When decrypted, it reads as mostly nonsense, but when anagrammed, it seems to tell the reader to topple corrupt government. Around the same time, a group of older "men in black" come to visit Adam's grandfather. Although the purpose of the meeting and what was said is unknown, it left the grandfather upset. Sometime later, Adam visits the "back room" where he smells recently smoked cigarettes and finds a box containing a ring with the MI5 seal on it and another note in ciphertext. When decrypted, the note lists the names of several famous men and includes vague references to the Masons and/or Illuminati. On his last snoop mission, Adam finds a massive picture of an eye.


That's sloppy at best, but hopefully its all there. I guess the question it brings up is what is going on with Adam's granddad?

Also, I figured out why we have all the camera info in the picture files. There's a trick about loading pics onto a camera and then back off that overwrites all the meta data on the file. He's either doing this for realism or doing it to eliminate any trace of where the pictures really came from or what he did to edit them. I'm of the opinion its more of the first than the second, but I thought I'd throw it out there.

The symbol for MI5 is extremely close to that of the Illuminati.

In addition, not only do we have to question whats up with Adams grandfather, something Adam might discover (or already has) must be of critical importance - why else would someone hack his myspace and pose on his AIM account?

It has to be more than discovering a potential list of Illuminati members; without actual proof Adam would be discredited as a conspiracy theorist.

Maybe this relates also to Adam's mothers death? Perhaps she discovered something dangerous, and left a clue for her son? Does Adam ever say what happened to her? (I can't check his blog to see - myspace is filtered by my work)

 		Adam's grandfather was taken away by "men in fitted suits and canes". I originally thought that would be a reference to the "Men in Black" kind of thing with MI5 and everything. At this point, I'm not too sure any more.

Quote:
Later on today some strange men came over. They wore fitted suits and walked with canes. They wore hats on their heads and did not speak a word to me as I greeted them at the door. My grandfather lead them to the back room and they locked themselved in there for a few hours. They left just as quietly as they had entered and I noticed my grandfather seemed upset. He came to me and told me he was leaving. He was traveling to Philadelphia but did not mention when he planned on returning. That was all. And then he was gone.

I actually read that as they came and left. A short time after that, he left by himself for Philly. It may be worth getting some clairification there.

Pretty positive thats how it was meant to be taken; I think it would have been clear had the men in suits led the Grandfather out.

Yeah, I know. Read from the Wiki, and reading a book of an ex-MI5 turned detective.

So, the British want something from the Grandfather. Maybe Adam's mother was a radical terrorist who faked her own death?
