 		Ok, I'm a new kid on this block- been lurking for a couple of weeks but this is my first post. So forgive me if I'm "trouting" (is that a verb?), posting in the wrong place or overreaching. But doesn't it seem like:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The missing portions of the hole2 figure's face- the famous "horse"- actually represents the southeastern coastline of Africa as shown on this map? With Madagascar defining the area under the horse's mouth? Could this be what hole2 was pointing us toward- just telling us where the portal to the latest hidden doc- the circle in the Indian Ocean- can be found? I personally thought everyone who was looking for an image in the face was way off base- but maybe I was wrong.


Please tell me I'm not crazy- at least in this regard.

*An addition to the previous post- someone at lostexperienceclues.blogspot.com posted a screen cap of the image you get when you click on the hole. After looking at it, I noticed:


Spoiler (Rollover to View):
There's a mysterious land mass to the right of the hole. With the land mass added, it looks even more like the "horse's head". See for yourself:

is the past tense significant if it is talking about Persephone saying she "was an employee" presumedly meaning she isn't anymore,
I thought she was our insider to the organisation and there was the bit about "I work for criminals always have alway will" implying she does still
work for them unless it's two different people or she quit since she said she was an employee. Confused


I think that was referring to one of the executives, but I don't remember which. (Peter Thompson maybe?)

First, I don't see the coastline of Africa in the hole2 image, but that's beside the point.

hole2: I don't see the PMs putting up this cryptic image just to tell us where a hidden link in a flash file is.

Secondly (thirdly?), I didn't notice the "horse's head" until I looked at your screen cap, good work. This may be a stretch, but we could try and overlay that ghost island on the hole2 pic.

 		I use Mozilla, and for whatever reason, that new logo hasn't loaded. So sad.

 		Just to be clear about a couple of things things that may have been ambiguous in my post-

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
What I was referring to as the "horse's head" was the white space on the face of the hole2 figure and the black space off the coast of Africa in the MFI map. The mysterious land mass that appears after you click on the button in the Indian Ocean isn't the horse's head- it defines its left side.


I agree that it would represent a lot of set up for very little clue. And I may be seeing things where there aren't any. But if anyone with better computer image manipulation skills than I were to

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
overlay the white areas in hole2 with the black areas on the MFI map


I think they'd be the same.

And I didn't create the screen cap- someone named kittenry at lostexperienceclues did and I linked to it.

 		About the kittenry image that talks about an "island map inset":

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The "mysterious" land mass that appears is simply a "copy" of South America.

To me, it appears to just be more of the "hacked effect" if you will.

A little north of where the hidden link it pointing too, but interesting none the less dealing with Electromagnetic storms and what not....

While probably nothing, I noticed one of the theories as to the cause of this event involves an "electromagnetic fireball."

these are the first three....one is an old friend of joop Smile

But the fourth one is the most interesting.... it was an image...that when I exported it created 2 images... 1 jpg and 1 png... the .png file makes me think of "hole2" ....like this is another part of the image...

http://s73.photobucket.com/albums/i224/justinr_photos/MFI2/



Interesting stuff. Notice the first image with the face blacked out. Looking closer I realized that this is the hole2 face. I'm sure of it. The shadow blocks much of what the hole2 picture shows so it doesn't seem like it, but compare the visible features. They're identical. The comparison is similar to the comparison noted in your second pair of pictures.

I have to disagree here - I really don't think it's the same person. The "blacked out" picture is the guy from the mental health page:

http://i3.tinypic.com/119191u.jpg

The mental health guy has a much, much rounder face, much less hair, a much shorter neck, higher, smaller ears, etc, etc...

 		Okay I'm slightly confused.

I can get the map up. And after that, I enter the three numbers. So I've got the creepy music, the static, and three glowing spots on the map... But then what?

A circular object appears in the ocean. Click it and it'll lead you to a piece of paper with new information.

OK, you're right. I thought I recognized that same streak in the hair, and then noticed the suit and tie, but when I actually look at the two side-by-side, they're totally different.

Anyone notice the advertisement for V-message at the botton of the document? I've never heard of it, and google shows no sign of anything significant, either. Is it a clue, or does the tribal cheif have his own personal email client?



Are we perhaps supposed to follow these directions. The text ad reads...

Also, I'm trying to discover which country has a "Minister of Interior" named "Mugato," but I'm not coming up with anything.

Somehow, I see the letter O really clearly in that picture...

Also, maybe there is something to be figured out how figures don't matter?

One more thing to note, which probably means nothing but...

Notice how the area between Florida/Cuba is all bright blue? Strange that there's nothing to it though.



Is that Nassau in the Bahamas?
