 		Why would IIAE go to the ridiculous effort of making the answer so convoluted and cryptic? Why not just tell us the answer if they are trying to help? Rolling Eyes

IIAE must not want GBJ to know they are talking to us?

 		I'm actually a little concerned. GBJ said he was going to share the contents of the envelope, then seems to have fallen off the face of the planet.

 		I suspect the site problems got him; he's probably trying to port everything to the new site as he'd said.

 		There's a new video up at IIAE. At first glance there's just the one cut to a 'posessed' GBJ, which seems to happen as the clock turns from 11:54 to 11:55. I assume that must have some significance but I'm stumped as to what exactly.

 		Pretty creepy..

Yeah you'd think the change in time might mean something specific. The clock at least seems to be positioned to make it an obvious thing to keep an eye on - but that could just be for effect rather than specific clue or code reasons...

Each video uploaded by IIAE has had a weird title now too. The first was '___', the second was '_______' and now this one is '=======' - perhaps this means something too. The line firstly grew in length, and has now changed to a different style of line pattern.

Anyone able to take a look at the sound to see if there's anything hidden?

 		Could the time in the latest video maybe be a reference to the Doomsday Clock?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doomsday_Clock

That currently sits at 11:44 and the closer it gets to midnight the closer the world comes to total disaster. Could be a complete coincidence but that clock change has to mean something.

Here's the audio. Nothing hidden, as far as I can tell. Only thing out of place is a bunch of silent peaks, but that's most likely nothing.

EDIT: Listening to it again, there are some VERY quiet tapping sounds where the peaks are. I still don't know if they're anything important. Could be morse code or something?

I know you meant 11:54.

It could be a coincidence, but a creepy one!

Or it could be symbolic, i.e. the PM has used that time hoping someone would make the connection, as they want to show us we are getting close to a kind of 'Doomsday' or terrible event, possibly the full possession of GBJ or something.

It could simply be that, rather than a clue/code to work out, or just a complete coincidence and also no clue/code to work out, which would make it irrelevant to keep an eye on, and really is just showing the time GBJ is sleeping.

Hmm, so many possibilities Razz

Oops, yeah -- 11:54!

I think you're right in that it's probably more likely to be symbolic (if it's referencing the Doomsday Clock at all!) but I think the time switching at the exact moment the possession takes place is unlikely to be coincidence. It could well be a deliberate red herring, I guess, but unless anything comes of the audio analysis there doesn't seem to be much more to go off from the new video.
