 		[EMAIL] Timothy Mann at hushmail.com
- Let's look at the Linear B
Finally, Timothy Mann is answering email! So I wrote him and asked him about the Linear B...

I will do anything to help. I must see the script that you have cited. Do you have a secure location online where I may view it?

About Mr. Johnson, you have become very well trusted if he is
giving you this book to translate. I am certain that you know we
must not allow him to know about Spoocheeeee's plans for Kevin.
This is our main concern while we play with our time table for
obtaining the Spoocheeeee pieces. I only hope we can have ALL five
in our hands before his eyes land on the boy. When dealing with
this man, it is a balancing act between telling him exactly what he
wants to hear and bringing him news that he feels can't live
without. I think it is time that you may test the waters with how
much of Spoocheeeee he will reveal to you. Can you tread ever so
lightly and see if Mr. Johnson will tell you anything about Betty?
I have heard some startling reports about her and we need to know
what happened to her in room 505. We also need to know if the
woman communicating with Peeps and you Sammeeeees is our Betty.

Thank you for taking these great risks. Our entire operation to
end Spoocheeeee would be impossible without you.

TM


So is there a way to put together a page for the book Linear B?

 		Linear B Stuff
I'm working on what I can find that I remember posted so far.

It would be nice for us to put in our own version of the translations so far (*cough* Red?) before resorting to asking Tim to translate for us...

Okay - all up on my flickr (with their translations - thanks to Red's postings in here). You have to be a friend to see them (keeps Mr AJ's eyes out of the area - I don't want him to have access and then see who my contacts are since it includes Cathy & Peeps).

Have TM sign up for flickr and make me a contact, I'll make him a friend.

But, to have them all in one place:
11 Gods Power

24 Messenger

6567
Under Palm Tree Guides Listen/Pay Attention/Watch For (this was from the Search for Piece #1 in the cemetery)

lastpage
Give Blond (male) Governor Slave (female) (found during the Search for Piece #2)

lastpage2
Coastal/On Sea
When Everyone & Everything Winato (a place)
Wishes
Mountain
Desert
Gold Riches Set Free/Free Person
Village/Community
Take/Uptake King

I will have a report for you tomorrow on this linear B. I did not
want you to think I had forgotten about your questions. This has
been a very busy week for all of us. As soon as my report is
complete, I will alert you immediately.

 		New email from TM and warning about Dalton Trumbo! (my email to TM pasted in also below):

Quote:

The documents are on their way to you Sammeeeees. I would like to
caution you about Mister Dalton Trumbo. He is a frustrated actor
and writer of sorts. He's very creative and plays with people. He
creates new realities for each situation. He's nuts and he's very
powerful with many Spoocheeeees.

 		Okay, after much difficulties answering the Hushmail question (Q: "Where is Emma Goldman buried?" A: "Waldheim Cemetery"), I got TM's reply about the Linear B:

Quote:

I have taken time to review your photos of the linear B.

Let me begin with the book.

The linear B in the book seems to me to be the work of either Henry
Kuttner or Dalton Trumbo. These seem to be a coded message about
replacing Mr. Johnson. If I were to read this to you, I would
follow it from left to right. "When everyone on the coast, city,
mountains, and desert wishes gold riches free the village (meaning
the world) by taking or replacing its King (Mr. Johnson). Give
them the blonde Governor (Kevin) of the female slave." I assume
that last remark about the "female slave" was delivered by Dalton
Trumbo. He has referred to Patricia Moore (Cathy) as Mr. Johnson's
personal "female slave" behind their backs for years.

The linear B on the other pages is more than likely in reference to
the coded messages it is near.

The linear B on the disc when put together will be a description of
the ritual to be performed at one of the five "places of power".
We should wait until we have all five and then I believe it will be
easy for us to figure out this ceremony/ritual.

I hope this helps you with your understanding of linear B. If you
and the Sammeeeees get close enough to Mr. Dalton Trumbo, perhaps
he will shed more light on this for you.

TM


Confirms a lot of what we know, but also clarifies some things...

 		To TM, Re:The Disc Translation
Begging for help to understand what to do
Quote:
Mr. Mann,

The last time we spoke, you had broken into Mr. Johnson's office and intercepted my emails to him. I came to realize the error in my association with him and have since joined with the Sammeeeees to assist in the quest to make Peeps an ordinary man.

Part of my assistance has been the translation of the Linear B writings on the disc (and in the book, the day he died). I have completed the translation. Unfortunately, it is both strange and confusing.

on the "top" of the disc, the writins make 3 words - GIVE POWER KING

on the "bottom" of the disc, there are 2 rings of writing.

The inner ring characters read: HUMAN AXES CHEESES

The outer ring characters read: WILD WHEELS CUP WINDS LIMBS

We have no idea what the proper order of the words are, therefore, we ahve no idea how to reverse the order, to reverse the ritual & remove Spoocheeeee forever.

Since you are even more knowledgible than I in Linear B, I ask for your assistance. Could you please explain the proper sequencing of these words & what should be done for the reversing of the ritual.

I understand if you do not trust me. You can have Peeps send the information to the Keeper if you do not have faith in my honesty.

Thank You,

Red
