Winchester red is the bishop of Winchester who wore scarlet robes. The reference is a Shakespeare one. Will update more when at a pc instead of using my phone. That is, if you have not solved by then


Don't know if this is the right Winchester red. It is in a commentary on Shakespeare's Henry VI : http://bit.ly/ecoYgL

If so, is it Henry Beaufort or William Waynflete(Patten)? Both are around the correct vintage.


Big Bill might be Bill Haywood

*shrug*

Wallace updated his blog. Maybe a relevant LINK for #3 and what does "S&B-322", the txt 'file title, mean? And the 4th one

If I ever meet Max Drum I will definitely be breaking his nose with obvious pleasure. Sorry, feeling a little aggressive today Wink

In 4.7z is a symbol called a Monas Hieroglyphic . The txt.file is an unfamiliar to me mnemonic rhyme. Dunno Befuddled.

Looking further into the Monas thing (and looking for an R to link it to, I found this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosicrucianism and http://www.rosicrucian-afsp.org/about.htm (the second is a very interesting read, whether it is relevant or not)

Good find on the Clink!!

THX Reesylou! This latest one is a bit esoteric for me yet my gut says we're being directed toward Pluto, formerly the 9th planet, with the "Hades" reffy and Dee being " Astrologer of Elizabeth I of England". *humming Girls Just Wanna Have Fun*

Wikipedia wrote:
The Monas Hieroglyphica is an alchemical symbol devised by John Dee as a combination of the planetary metal glyphs.

About the 'Hades Clue Ere' the Encyclopedia Britanica wrote:
Court dance in early balletic form as seen in Catherine de Medicis Receiving the Polish Ambassador, tapestry designed by François Quesnel, c. 1575; in the Uffizi, Florence. SOURCE

Regarding the third file .... maybe S= Southwark possibly B=Bill um.. 322 (or -322) I don't know.

I was thinking "Headsman" as executioner, but then came across a head man... William "Big Bill" Taft.

Do we have any questions we want to ask? I can't think of any right now... my brain has lost the ability to focus on the bigger picture when "playing" since it is what I do all the time at work.

Yikes! Have forwarded this email from the real R.U., Pattie Down, to Wallace. Email looks safe for y'all to ctc her with help etc.

Pattie Down wrote:
pattiedownSPLATgmail.com

I had to speak to you, you are the only person I can trust. I was Roxie Underhill the first one that spoke to you, not that bitch (excuse my language) that is there now. My somewhat strict language when doing the Roxie gig was down to COPS policy about not giving any useful information out to the "unnumbered", oh give me a break.

I used to work for Corcas which is how I ended up being a member of COPS (what a silly name if you ask me, they wanted to sound all important), although technically it was Fred that introduced me. I was a temp secretary in the London office, then the office closed and we were all put on "gardening leave" not actually fired. That was on the morning of the 10th February, apparently something happened in Lab that they wanted to keep under wraps.

Yesterday I got a letter in the post saying I was being made redundant with a pretty large cheque. Obviously they want me to keep quiet. Thing is Fred was a really nice old man, well I say old he looked in his mid-forties with some grey hair but his eyes looked older not sure how to describe it. Maybe it is that 100 yard stare that soldiers get when they have been through hell in war, it was like he had seen everything. I'm not making much sense am I.

Fred always said that COPS were too big for their own good, thing is Fred wasn't part of COPS. He told me that from the start, I wasn't sure why he wanted me to work for them until he died (though they never found his body). He could be very charming at times, but afterwards I realised he wanted me inside the COPS as a spy. We would have lunch together everyday and he ask me about my work, they seemed innocent questions at the time but now I think about it they were quite penetrating questions when you add them all together.

Fred's data is gone all of it. I hid it in my flat, Fred suggested the best place to put it. The day before yesterday my flat was burgled, not actually much taken they were obviously looking for the data and they got it too.

Not sure what to do now, COPS have asked me to visit Cairo and investigate some Egyptian Doctor of Entomology. Me of all people I'm just a temp, not to mention they are practically in the middle of war out there. I said I wouldn't go and they've basically told that me I should start looking for another job not that they paid much to begin.
I'm a little worried Fred always said that once you are in the COPS you never really leave, as I said not sure what to do now. Perhaps you and that P.I. can help?


Emailed her saying she should stall on traveling to Eqypt until she hears from W. & asked if the doc there was Dr. Abdul Jibril.

New update on Foilhead's blog.

We need a jump of logic on the 3rd token... let's see what we have:
Winchester Red leads to Bishop of Winchester and Liberty of the Clink => Southwark
Big Bill leads to either executioner Bill Haywood, or president William Taft... no idea of a place from there.
(since most clues seem to be place names on the tokens so far and we are looking for s&b)
no idea on the 322 link either.

Not really looked much at 4th token yet

They said he was working on a new theory something to do with ants I think, I don't know why they would want to send me and what it would have to do with the numbered. You know it is really silly I don't even know what the numbered are apart from there is meant to be 729 of them.

I bet you the new Roxie doesn't really know anything either.Thanks for replying, I don't feel so alone now


Good synopsis. reesylou. If we manage to crack these should we withhold one to barter the 6 digit code from Baron Freaky?

Finally! Things are getting more clear! Awesome! Maybe I should email aWilliam again about his research book. It suddenly now seems relevant.

New email from the Baron with a hint for the third token.

Titled: I found a new tomb...
Text: "Sea beggers use a standard that links all three" I'm sure you can work out the obvious but nothing is never that obvious.


Sea beggars is a term used to refer to pirates

Jolly Roger? or perhaps something in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geuzen


Off to eat dinner... and get child to bed.. Back later

EDIT: OMG OMG... was just chatting to a friend and showing him some of this research... pondering 322... and decided to google 322 to show that googling a number was pretty useless. Guess what came up:

Skull & Bones 322 & The Vatican Sundial : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MSj16i9NEgc
and
Skull & Bones: The Secret Society That Unites John Kerry and President Bush: http://www.commondreams.org/headlines04/0122-10.htm

Trying passwords now

EDIT: No luck with passwords yet, but found this: http://www.shadyoldlady.com/location.php?loc=846
linking skull and bones and Winchester's geese

and
http://wikicompany.org/wiki/911:Knights_of_Malta linking Bishop of Winchester and Taft

My guess is if Baron Freaky "Found a new tomb" he means those Yale S&B's in New Haven CT. who call their Hall the "Tomb".

While am happy to concur that male Yalees are the root of all rot Laughing can't tie em to this rot PW yet. LINKand SHH!-Secret-LINK

Yeah I've been trying passwords based on the Yale s&b group. Various including their links with illuminati and Freemasons. Also the russel trust and so on. No luck still. Off to bed. Good luck

Wallace updated his blog today and it has some interesting info on it. Did anyone else notice? The interview with Maad was... illuminating.

May explain all the power outages...
