What if we are looking at this in the wrong direction according to the name? They never directly said that 8𠖥1 stood for August 3rd, 2011, we just assumed that it did. What if somehow it represents something else?


3-8-11 means a few things, like it's obvious they've been referencing John 3:8-11, but it also definitely means the 3rd of August 2011 given 175,000's first formspring post:

Who and what are you people, if you are people?

Only those involved can know details before August 3rd.

They will drop hints through the site, not through Formspring. I take it they haven't really begun letting us in yet.

/x/ has just started working on something new. Someone asked "What if the 11 in 8-3-11 doesn't mean 2011?", so they started looking into things from centuries ago, which August 3 2011 would be the anniversary of, and something came up that seems way too close not to be looked at.

Arabella Mansfield, formerly Belle Mansfield (Belle M.), the first female lawyer of the United States, died August 1 1911. The New York times article which announced her death was released on August 3rd. People are still looking into it now.

Edit: http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=pv&GRid=27905573&PIpi=19153928

This is her gravestone, and down the bottom of the page it says she was buried on August 3rd, 1911.

8x3x11=264

Their names are 18,000, 21,000, 68,000, and 175,000 (18k, 21k, 68k, 175k). Was there also a 36,000 or am I imagining things?

18,000 is tier 1 and the leader(?). Possibly named Sam Proffitt. He "stomped" 8𠖥1. I don't know who 21,000 and 68,000 are but 175,000 claims to have always been answering the Formspring.

18+21+68+175=282

18+21+(68*2)=175

18 21 68 175 can be numbers in an IP address (one combo leads to a DoD site apparently).

Going along the broadcasting idea, do these numbers lend themselves to HAM radio or any other kind of radio signal communication methods?

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

Over at /x/ we found a woman named Arabella Babb Mansfield (Belle M.). She was the first female lawyer in the US. She died on August 1st, 1911 and was buried on August 3rd, 1911. So August 3rd, 2011 will be the 100 year anniversary of her funeral.

As well on the formspring they just answered: Is her name Belle?
with: She went by that name when she was young.

"Guys. Could this all be a womans rights thing.

Now that we may know who Belle M. is think about it.
Female activist, Buried August 3rd 1911,
The scripture passage talks of a woman who is pardoned by Christ for her promiscuity.
The umbrella is a symbol of protection.

Lots of connections are popping up now."

It's adding up to be a woman's right movement if all this is correct.

Ok massive update, this is way too much of a coincidence to be unrelated. We just got a new formspring answer from 175000:

Quote:
Is her name Belle?

She went by that name when she was young.


Arabella Mansfield went by the name Belle when she was young, and changed it when she became an adult. The only problem is they've also said that Belle isn't dead yet, but Arabella died almost exactly 100 years ago. Two theories that have been tossed around:

1. When they said Belle wasn't dead yet they were speaking methaporically, in that she still lived on because people were still fighting for her cause

2. The transmissions are actually coming from the past, and the associates are really in the year 1911 and are predicting the death of Arabella Mansfield.

Either way the formspring answer tells us two things: that the little girl was in fact named Belle, and that she isn't a little girl anymore.

Just for the record, I also sent an application email a while back, but haven't heard back... not sure what that means.

The Arabella Mansfield theory would also explain why the picture of the girl is in black and white.

Declined. They don't usually respond unless you're accepted.

Could the diagram also have something to do with Belle's statue? Anyone close to it want to go check it out?

Except for the fact that some have reported responses saying they weren't accepted... so... *shrug*

All these in the "Longwave" category mostly used for experiments and military communications (survivable singlnals, submarine comms) a bried listing of bands used can be found here

Well, if this radio stuff is working out for us, now we just have to find the broadcast/transmission frequency.


That was an unfinished theory though. What would they be broadcasting? And why?

How would that be linked to Arabella mansfield?
