Pope Alexander V = AV


coincedenses....???

the pope alexander article was posted by someone with the same name as the leader of the knights hospitallers. An order similar to knights templar.
It was rumoured that Alexander V was poisoned by the man that took his place. Pope John XXIII
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antipope_John_XXIII
The second paragraph says..
Quote:
Edward Gibbon asserts in The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire that John XXIII was charged with piracy, murder, rape, sodomy, and incest, with the more serious charges being suppressed. Of course, this needs to be viewed in the light of the political situation of the time, as the charges were likely trumped up; note the similarity to the charges against the Knights Templar.


The 2 postcards could be referencing Knights Templar.

Hummm when I use the name and password it seemed to work...I nothing seemed to change on any of the pages except when I went to the contact us page, that security warning poped up. Then I went to the main page it then had the security warning on it..lol Maybe we should make up a gmail account under fulkesdevillaret and email them on the contact page that we changed our email account,,, Ask them if they could change their files to reflect this...... If they go for it .. we then use the fulkesdevillaret user name and say we forgot our password... then it gets e-mailed to the gmail account

has anybody actually tried to contact them yet from the "contact" form?

we now have a way to talk to AV, should I try to contact them with a message(such as "I understand you are looking for someone. Let's talk...") see if we can get any info from them? I am still unconnected to the Dr. in any way IG, so I should be a safe one whatever the outcome...

Wabonan - hm. Maybe you've got something cached?

Can someone try the un/pw we found at http://altusveritus.com/user and see whether it lets you in?

I tried under the ruse of a schoolgirl doing research on the pope, but have yet to hear anything... Maybe outting the Dr. is the way to go... I say knock yourself out!!!

altus veritas' "contact us" page

my message:
subject: "your search"
body: "I understand your organization is looking for someone. I believe I have information you may find useful. Contact me and we'll discuss it."


We'll see what happens.

EDIT i get a white page with a message "Sorry, 158.48.6.9 has been banned." when i click the send button. i dunno if it's them or my firewall here at work.. will try again later.
EDIT again i tried a different browser and it worked.

however, the username clearly still exists, because you can try to request a new password using it.


This happens no matter what name you put in as the username

Can anyone tell what the email address thecontact us email goes to??

Ok here is what I just did I made a Yahoo account in the name of fulkesdevillaret the email addy is fulkesdevillaretSPLATyahoo.com I sent this to them in the contact us space:
This is crazy My pasword keeps getting sent to me over and over I changed my email to the one above please change the records to reflect this...Reguards Fulkes De Villaret
Now Im gonna wait to see if they respond.
I wonder if the DR knows Fulkes De Villaret. I could also send the Dr cryptic messages on Im if we need to. I don't think anything links to me

You email from the form - and the feedback just says you responded to that form and links to the website... to and from are yourself.

Site is down

Well, 'someone' hacked the site... Sarah just hit me up frantic, thinking it was me messing around and left before I could really do anything but look...

The site has been hacked, and in chat wabonan just let us know that so has the AV site we found.

The picture left on the site is titled birth. Looks like the owlman from the mystery of Moloch video in Doc's favorites at YouTube.

is it just me or is the lower pic "thebirthcomes.png" clearly a coded message, with the little red dots on each of the "tv" shapes?

on the assumption that its a code, i arbitrarily assigned letters to it, counting "a" as bottom dot, top left of the square, then counting up, then clockwise one notch and up again, and heres what i got:

ZBF MBP AZP VMA FXK BMW KBC BUJ GIO

anybody got a substitution cracker handy? (i'll try it when i get home if not...)
