 		META thinking
Now I do resemble my description under my nick "I have no life".
I'm thinking about this on the way to work and come here as soon as I get into my office.

Mr AJ looking for Peeps (but we don't know why)
Peeps is a sammeeeee, mentally ill, treated by Dr Kinder
Mr AJ looking for Dwin (but we don't know why)
Other sammeeeees: Betty, Higgs, HHR, Dwin, Addison, Trinket
Patricia Moore met with HHR to confirm things about Otis (Otis Worldwide is a real elevator company that was linked to TINAG on the bottom of Betty's sammeeeees.blogspot page). There is an office in Pasadena (about 30-60 minutes from Santa Monica, depending on traffic).
It seems that Spoocheeeee is a place where Peeps may be or may have escaped from. The Melon Man also escaped from Spoocheeeee. PM told HHR that Otis is a cover for Spoocheeeee and that terrible things are done at Spoocheeeee.

SPEC: Mr AJ works for Spoocheeeee and Peeps escaped. Perhaps the other sammeeeees were involved with Mr AJ doing "missions" and then realized they were part of some experiement and now trying to help Peeps get away from Spoocheeeee and Mr AJ? Did Mr AJ pretend to be an ARG PM to get Betty, Barney, et al involved in these missions?
Betty doesn't trust Mr AJ, so maybe she figured something out?

Looks like we may have to take sides (or at least pretend to while still sharing information in here). I will continue to be on the side of Betty and HHR and hope no one gives them away to Mr AJ right now.

 		I sent the following to r_alanjohnsonSPLATcare2.com to get clarification about the time:

Quote:

Mr. Johnson,

Thank you for your response! Now that I have a date
and time, I also await information about the place.
And I should ask, is that 9pm Vancouver time?

Also, I did return to the source this morning like you
suggested, and saw that it now leads to a new
location. I hope to learn more about this "Peeps,"
although it seems a bit mysterious at the moment.

All the best,
Dante


And just received this back:

Quote:

Great news, Dante! Good to hear that you and your fellow Sammeeeees
are learning more and more about what is ahead.

9 PM would be Vancouver time. Such a lovely gun. Isn't it?
PDT (Pacific Daylight Saving Time) = GMT-7

Warm Regards,

Mr. Alan Johnson


I love how we're so polite to each other!

This is one strange video.

At the end it says "Dsiao5." So far I've not had any luck deciphering it. Any ideas?

I'm guessing not a clue. I don't think it's DSIAO5, but DSIA05, in which case it probably stands for Danvers State Insane Asylum 2005.

The one thing I would add is today's change to the link at the bottom of http://misteralanjohnson.blogspot.com/ that now says "AND GIVE YOURSELF YET ANOTHER HAND, SAMMEEEEES"

which leads to: http://thehistoryofpeeps.blogspot.com/ or "The History of a Man Called Peeps." The source code says "documents distributed by Mr. T.M."

oh wow! Just checked the source code again to verify that and I think this has now been added:

http://www.youtube.com/user/misteralanjohnson


As soon as I saw photo on the History of Peeps page, I thought "whoa, it's the mental institution from that photoshoot I stumbled across a few months back!" The fact that the picture is entitled "patient info" seemed to confirm it. Watching the video, I was even more sure it was the same one I was thinking of, so I did some Googling. Hrmmm... the buildings ARE similar, but not exactly the same.

But hey! Turns out the photographer has a thing for photographing abandoned buildings (especially mental institutions). Here's his shoot of Danvers State Hospital... and look, it includes the photo from the History of Peeps blogspot. Very Happy

I'm pretty positive this site is OOG. Still, it's a rather cool bit of synchronocity that makes me feel useful. *smiles*

 		Danvers State Mental Hospital Info
Quote:
Danvers State Hospital officially closed it's doors in the summer of 1992 in response to the many allegations of overcrowding, abuse and neglect in court. The movie "Session 9" was filmed on location in 2001, and brought a lot of attention to the old hospital. Security has since been increased to 24 hour patrols, and the boarding of all windows. A fire was started inside in 2004, forcing firemen to enter the dangerous building to prevent the whole Kirkbride from being engulfed in flames. Since then, the place has been on total lockdown - constant patrols 24/7 with mandatory checkpoints, and the arrest of anyone caught anywhere on the grounds (they are publishing the arrests in newspapers to get their point across). An article about trespassing on the grounds states that over 120 people have been arrested since 2000!

*** 2006 Update ***

Well, there is one section of the building that is being left up, but there is very limited access so I still doubt it.

 		Code Book Mission
The note HHR found in the book reads...
Quote:
WE WILL NOT BE SILENT.
WE ARE YOUR BAD CONSCIENCE.
THE SAMMEEEEE WILL NOT LEAVE YOU IN PEACE!

A google search of "we are your bad conscience", brings up hits for "We will not be silent. We are your bad conscience. The White Rose will not leave you in peace!", which is the motto of the White Rose resistance.
Quote:
White Rose (German: die Weiße Rose) was a World War II non-violent resistance group in Germany famous for a leaflet campaign in which they called for active opposition to the Nazi regime.


MelonMan retired from Sammeeeee to the White Rose.
HHR wrote that "She told me a lot about Peeps and his involvement in Spoocheeeee. He did some pretty awful things. " (She being Patricia Moore.)

So, possible analogies of Spoocheeeee to Nazism and Sammeeeee to White Rose?

Now that I look at this again... if MelonMan retired from Sammeeeee to join the White Rose... if the analogy were correct, that would mean Sammeeeee == Nazi, since White Rose == Opposition to Sammeeeee

Or am I nuts?

I live very close to the area of the hospital. Might be interesting if something happens in the area. I'll have to be our scout Smile

 		Well I got a reply as to whether it was Danvers as the place.

here is Mr. Alan Johnsons reply:

Quote:
Again it is you, my dear Rorschach,

Hear me as I tell you the following. I will NEVER step foot on that property again.
Nothing has made me happier than to see those walls come down and with them the memories
of a time that is better to be forgotten.

Warm Regards,

Mr. Alan Johnson

Sorry to go offtopic, but Session 9 was one weird @$$ movie. In a good way. Just not in a VERY good way.

That being said, I wouldn't go near that hospital.
