 		[Trailhead?] Allied Broadcasting
I picked up a very odd message on Reddit today, and took a look at the users previous posts. Here they are in order;

Link: http://www.reddit.com/r/collapse/comments/wi9oa/4769413/
Title: 4769.4.13

Quote:
No matter what you hear, it is false. The time-line has not shifted. There is currently a battle for ideas taking place, your ideas, our ideas; ideas that have transgressed beyond the truth. The CEYTOs are running a campaign against man.
The whole thing is a lie. The planet never split in three. The energy crisis never occurred. Their goal is to subvert who and what we are as early as possible, unfortunately they have determined through a series of edge case algorithms that this timeline is the most susceptible to corruption.
This is where we need your help.
Spread the word, spread the message, spread the truth that man will never be subjugated. Man is all there ever was and ever will be.
We are speech. We are freedom. We are thought. The CEYTOs and their ilk are nothing but numbers and strategies.
Display the coded message proudly: Mfb uu Vzfow. Lqdme ie Pxlywua.
Paint it on walls. Post it on your magne-feeds. Display it within your memex. Let them know that we will own the time. That The Porch is not the last stand, but our beginning.
Wallace is Power.
We will continue to fight, for you, and for our future, present, and past.


Obviously, the key point here is Mfb uu Vzfow. Lqdme ie Pxlywua. I gave it a run through a Caesar decrypter, but to no avail - maybe I'm doing it wrong? I tried all 26 "combinations".
Other keywords could include:

CEYTOs
I can't find anything about the CEYTOs, except that it is used in turkish - Google Translate however can't translate it to anything but CEYTO. Probably an acronym!

Magne-feeds
Possibly referring to magnets. Some sort of new feed technology based on magnets?

Memex
The memex (a portmanteau of "memory" and "index")[1] is the name given by Vannevar Bush to the hypothetical proto-hypertext system he described in his 1945 The Atlantic Monthly article As We May Think (AWMT). Bush envisioned the memex as a device in which individuals would compress and store all of their books, records, and communications, "mechanized so that it may be consulted with exceeding speed and flexibility". The memex would provide an "enlarged intimate supplement to one's memory". The concept of the memex influenced the development of early hypertext systems (eventually leading to the creation of the World Wide Web) and personal knowledge base software.

Wallace is Power
Some sort of different variety from "knowledge is power", maybe. The post doesn't clarify who Wallace is, however, but most likely some sort of leader/almighty/rebel?

The Porch
A physical barrier of some sort, or literally, that the people are leaving their homes (for once) to revolt?

I think it has a very futuristic feel to it, as if someone from the future has found a way to communicate to us. Planet split in 3? Energy crisis? Well, sure, our current fossil fuel situation has never been worse, but we're not on the verge of apocalyptic happenings because of it. And last time I checked, the planet wasn't split in 3.

After this above post had some "you're crazy, what's going on"-posts, the following comment was posted by Allied-Broadcasting:

Quote:
We are not crazy. We are here with a warning. It has taken all of our plasmud to hack into this broadcasting stream. Those that attempt to tell you that we cannot be trusted, must themselves be members of the CEYTO movement.
They are opposed to the future of the thermoform.
They are opposed to remembering.
We only have a few moments now, AYDEN is coming and will take the stream back over. We must exit in order to not be detected. Please, we beg of you, stand with us.
Wallace is Power. The spirit of 76 will always be remembered.
Update: They may have found us. Our response to your inquiries was deleted. We just hi-jacked their magnestar communique frequency before they change it to let you know that we are still here.


Plasmud is some sort of resource in this world? Plasmud.com is registered, but doesn't contain anything on the surface. Someone might be better at digging than me, however.
CEYTO is definitely the bad guy here.
AYDEN is the ones normally running the stream, it seems.
Wallace is Power repeated again.
Again lots of futuristic words, or at least, not in the every-day 9-5 job vocabulary.

17 hours ago (the above was 2 days ago), the following was posted on another part of Reddit.

Link: http://www.reddit.com/r/worldpolitics/comments/wkurf/478313332/
Title: 4783.133.32

Quote:
They seem to not be transmitting now. Or if they are, through a different field stream. We are not sure whether they are leaving this stream abandoned, or or watching in on the magne-feed. If only we could just transmit our memex. If only the CEYTOs were unaware that all we are trying to do is ensure that you are aware.
Where to start. We cannot transmit the plans over this stream. We will let you know as soon as we have a secure magnestar frequency. Where we could start is with what they already know, but you will soon find out.
Wallace Happenish was right. Well, what is left of his warnings were right. We became so complacent, so uninterested that they CEYTOs could easily insert and change every clause. The Porch was supposed to be where we congratulated each other. The Spirit of 76 to be constantly commemorated and parried. But over the millenia the CEYTOs slowly shut us out. Mercinum. And Habitubes. Plasmud. And Sojarts.
That is until Augustine discovered the power. Discovered Wallace. Discovered that man is power. That Wallace was power. The CEYTOs will more than likely begin transmitting false pronouncements. Begin warning of this apocalypse that never came. Talk of a place called "Earth". Places built into myth to remove stumankind from actuality. If only we had listened. If only we had watched.
The energy parceps will only last so long this time. There is no room for nostalgia. Remember to display it proudly:
Mfb uu Vzfow. Lqdme ie Pxlywua.
Wallace is Power.


We learn that Wallace is Wallace Happenish, and discovered by Augustine.
Mercinum and Sojarts doesn't return anything.
Habitubes = habitat + tube? Tubes destined for people to live in? Conserve space, in a world with billions upon billions of people?

I have run most names through google, wikipedia, youtube, twitter and facebook - but haven't come across anything convincing.
The only lead I have is the encrypted text and a dead website.

Will try a PM to the user and see who responds - if "they're" still in charge of that channel, or if AYDEN is back.

If anyone has an idea for the code, feel free - most likely the first route out.

 		I am finding nothing either. The only idea I had was CEYTO's are possibly CEOs...the whole message has a big brother business-ish feel to it..

 		New comments on reddit. .both posts...aannndd of course, my iPad isn't playing nice and won't let me copy and paste

http://www.reddit.com/user/allied-broadcasting

The cypher on one of the responses Is a viginere cypher. Maybe that bit of info will help decode the key phrase..

 		Maybe nothing, but the second part of the jibberish backwards lines up with "Wallace is Power" with the same amount of letters.

Wallace Is Power

Just throwing that out there.

 		Someone found a blog and the authors name is Wallace Happenish. He claims to not be part of it and says he made up the name, and the blog was started on the same date as the Reddit post so.......

 		I sent a PM after I wrote the OP yesterday, in hopes of triggering it in case he was letting it go due to no reactions about the trailhead.

Apparently I can't see the messages I've sent (or if I can, please enlighten me), but I believe I asked whether that channel is safe and said that we're there for them. Here is the response:

Quote:
There are only enough plamud cycles to let you know that we can't communicate openly via the magne-feeds anymore. We'll alert you when the time comes.
Wallace is power.
Mfb uu Vzfow. Lqdme ie Pxlywua


In case the new reddit link gets edited;

Link: http://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/wmh70/478632164/
Title: 4786.321.64

Quote:
we are only able to maintain this link for a moment this time. we realized that we mistakenly told you of Wallace's name. Please, we beg of you, do not contact him. The CEYTOs will be monitoring him. They will know that we are battling it out over this moment.
He is the key. His belief, our fuel. Stumankind will always be indebted to him. We will be shifting in the morning. Hopefully. Whatever happens, whatever you are told. Keep in mind that Gustus Vaimon knew the key. He was silenced to soon.
The spirit of 76 will be remembered.

With that wording, I would definitely bet that that blog has something to do with it, but they're trying to lead us around it.
He has a very similar style of writing on the blog, and is using some hints that, in my opinion, could relate.
For example; "This blog is just about my experiences after...well everything that occurred." could relate to the planet split in 3 and energy crisis.

Just a side note; he mentions that he was 9 years old and now it's 25 years later = 34. Probably born in 1978/79, if we're not in the future, that is.

Are there any other places you've found discussions about this, CapnZ? Nevermind, found it in a comment to the 2nd post on Reddit.

 		Or they are in the future and Mr. Wallace is in the present, so it would make sense that he wouldn't know anything yet because it hasn't happened. Smile

Just some minor things I've noticed
This Wallace with the website...it maybe a situation where he hasn't discovered ( led, what have you) what the future broadcasts are referring to. Wallace's latest post says..

Quote:
It rained today. It hasn't done that in some time. The grass brown. The digs dusty. Dig. I love the irony of continuing to try and call them digs. They are construction sites. Pure and simple. I guess I should feel lucky. After all, I guess when one lights a gin still on fire they should feel blessed to get hired again. If only because a trust fund can make those types of things happen. I wonder if the trust just hopes I would die already.

These digs (sorry, construction sites) are like death. Day after day, old shovels, or shoes or anything that those whose primary motive in life it is to dig a hole to sink concrete into
could potentially think is an artifact. To date I have found:

1.) 43 rubber balls
2.) two skate boards
3.) the feet of what appeared to be a somewhat rotund fossilized mouse
4.) rather sizable selection of commemorative plates
5.) 8 sets of spoons, knives, forks and a cake knife
6.) A picture of one of the ugliest woman I have ever seen (and that includes my Aunt Fancy)

It is never anything worthwhile. Never anything like those days. Wunderkind. Such an ugly word on the other side of all this.


One of his other posts he mentions
Quote:
Tomorrow I will probably be waked as normal, to uncover something in the dirt that was placed there by a lazy hand in the 1970s.


Like 1976?

 		I'm having no luck decoding that phrases either... at least not with the vigenére cipher.

I've tried wallace is power, wallace, power, knowledge and ceytos as possible keywords, and all I got was gibberish.
Anyone has any ideas of what could be the keyword?

 		Wallace has a new friend...CarIthon. His comments on the web page seem mundane...
http://moribundmistakes.blogspot.ca/2012/07/new-digs-old-habits.html#comment-form

Except for this..

Quote:
if someone told you Your future and it looked bad, Would you try and change it, or would you fear the ripple effect too much?


EDIT hit send too soon. What I meant to conclude with is...it maybe nothing..but Carithon...was born in 1976

That would be me. I going along with the idea that "Wallace" has yet to discover what he is going to discover, but we can't tell him THAT. So now I'm just trying to get to understand the character a bit more.

The other side of that coin is that this is just a random person, in which case I don't want to bug him too much with "look at this site, it tells you what you are meant to do. You are the POWER, He-man!"

 		We may just need to watch and listen for awhile. The mysterious They said to not contact him..because he was being watched. Time will tell if this Wallace is OOG or what..
