On Braingle you had to check the radio box marked 'replace j with i'. It worked that way for me just now (tried out of curiosity).
He's talking about the satellite photo, and the connection with Tuwaitha. It's a hint that we're looking in the wrong place.

Yeah I got that. I'm just not sure what else it could be. Maybe its the logo in the bottom right of the satellite photo or the "site 12864 The rabbit hole" reference.

I tired to match the emblem with the coats of arms of toher countries and got nothing. there are palm trees on some of them, but none have a fortress behind it.
Also, to be noted: he knows that some of us are scared >_< Hell, I'M the one scared! I might quit. For now, I'll just wait 'till the 26th and see what happens.

We will probably do all of this and on the 26th get a message that says "Drink more coke" or something.

Ahhh the memories! A Christmas story was a favorite movie of mine. He waits all that time and gets the secret decoder and goes in the bathroom to figure it out. Only to get the "drink more Ovaltine" message.

I figure that the 26th is endgame for this one. Red Monday happens then, and we're supposed to be keeping it from happening. So we've got three more weeks.
Personally, I think it's time for JC to give us some more information about Red Monday. He's holding out on us, that much is sure.

I don't think so, he's holding back to much. Plus, we haven't had many puzzles so far. My guess is that there's a lot more to come.

back to the satellite image, this might be a good place to start looking:

Still no luck on the palm tree logo.

I am stumped on the logo, ugh. This game is draining all me energy and brain power. and i dont know if he was refrencing our dicussion when saying the scared comment because he said he is also scared. Im guessing he is talking about Red Monday.

I tried destegging the satellite image using Camouflage, but if there's something there it's not responding to any of the passwords I've tried (gabriel, red-monday, jc, etc.). I'm stumped on the image itself, and I won't be able to look at anything until tomorrow evening sometime. There's a wealth of Google Earth information about Pakistani nuke sites (not to mention North Korean and Iranian) for those who have GE on their computer. I'm taking tomorrow off -- maybe if I look at it fresh on Saturday I'll see something I'm not right now.

I think this is the most important bit:
"ErqFrnPbnfg-HiRes.jpg"
A filename at the bottom; maybe even the original name of the aerial photograph.
What could it mean, though?
