When you talk to Jeff next

Can someone ask him what he thinks about the anonymous comment on his webpage? Maybe he will have some insight as to what it means.

Will do, although I may just have to call him. I'll try texting him or something tomorrow morning. Gives me something to do in chem. Haha.

And what is that face in the tree? Definitely creepy. Can anyone enhance that?

SORRY! I forgot to mention, we talked about that. We agreed they looked like street directions because there are a lot of streets with numbers there. We had no idea what beginning meant tho

Sylvia: yes, I talked to him about the images in the video. I've had it confirmed they are definitely not cells, but rather bacteria, likely cocci, the kind that causes lung infections. Jeff says his doctors say his disease is viral though, not bacterial.

Is the mark on the dollar bill/bag maybe a county, rather than a state?

I also just noticed that "JASON" is always capitalized. Wikipedia says JASON is a defense advisory group. I'm thinking that's the JASON the air marshal is referring to.

Quote:
Jason members all have security clearances and consist of physicists, biologists, chemists, oceanographers, mathematicians, and computer scientists. They are selected for their scientific brilliance, and over the years, have included eleven Nobel Prize laureates and several dozen members of the National Academy of Science.


Quote:
Information on the JASONs from a conspiracy point of view:

* http://www.pehi.eu/organisations/JASON_Group.htm
* http://www.pehi.eu/organisations/Jason_Group_members_list.htm

NB: Because of the (former) secrecy surrounding the group, the JASONS have featured in conspiracy literature since the 1980s. Much of what has been written in this area is generally considered a mix of fact, conjecture, and pure fantasy.

I thought that about the county thing too. I pulled up a county map of both Iowa and Michigan and none of the counties that I could see looked like the mark on the $100. Most of the counties in Iowa are rectangular and Michigan has funky shaped counties, unlike the mark on the $100.

Just to humor me: connect the X's on the map, flip the image horizontally, and compare to the shape on the $100. Am I the only one who thinks the shapes are very similar?

Nope! You're not alone. That was mentioned a bit back I think. Smile

It was, by me. Just wanted to check that I wasn't the only one seeing the similarity. Smile

Not sure how that helps though. I believe Jeff says in the last video that the torn map is a map of Iowa (can't check right now - no audio). Some of the X's on it are near major cities, but not all of them are easy to place.

So I wonder whether the X locations are important, or whether the torn map is just a vehicle for the shape.

*been lurking / noob*

Especially with the recent thoughts about JASON and the links to the military here, I sort of have a theory that either Jeff might be a guinea pig for biochemical warfare, or maybe that whatever it was in the woods infected him with something that the military wants to get their hands on. Remember the note: "I want something you have." And what else does he have?

Not sure if anyone noticed, but the handwriting on the notes which gave Jeff the pill is completely different from that which said "Do Not let JASON obtain this" (on the back of the piece of paper that looked like the US). I don't want to jump to too many conclusions here, but I think it was meant to be obvious that two different people wrote these.

Also, do I recall that Jeff replied to someone (sylvia, maybe) that Steve also wanted to talk? I think that this would be a good idea, especially to find out what HE does for a living. We also might get more insight about Jeff's job. Next time someone talks to him, could we ask for Steve's screenname or email?

sorry for the double post ( Embarassed ) but I just finished overlaying a map of the US with the piece of paper with the X's.

As you can see, they get pretty close to all intersecting at capital cities. I think this should be looked into a little more; it seems interesting. I think we could blame the non-intersections on the perspective of Jeff's camera when he was taking that picture.

I e-mailed him last night after Sylvia's message and asked him for contact info for Steve. He hasn't gotten back to me yet but when he does I will let everyone know.

feriwiccan: I wonder if this suggestion that it's a map of the US is a red herring. He calls it a map of Iowa in the video, and the captions for both map images on the blog refer to it as 'Iowa Map' as well.

I played with it a little last night, and it fits together better with Iowa than with the US, though the perspective does make things harder.

I'll look for him on AIM tonight, but I just missed him last night.
