Darren Kroupa mentioned at SBI site for organizing underground concerts::



Huckleberry Finn text found in background, similar to the other two books found, which are, guess what - banned books.

There's also strong suspicion that these sites are heavily stegged. Evidently, jphide was used to detect stegged images, and they got positive results. However, if they are indeed stegged, they're protected by non-english passwords.

But yeah, time traveling websites will necessarily lead to corruption. Wink

Another way to easily get the full text on the page is to disable CSS, which is how they make all the text overlap. It's much easier to read everything that way. You also see each image by itself and not overlapping.

*edit* Also to me, "matt26:45-46" from SecureBroadcastInfomatics is a pretty clear indication of this being a bible verse. Especially since the verse is this
Quote:

Then He came to the disciples and said to them, "Are you still sleeping and resting? Behold, the hour is at hand and the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners. "Get up, let us be going; behold, the one who betrays Me is at hand!" - Matthew 26:45-46, New American Standard Bible (A Sola Scriptura text, see churchofplano.com)

At one point you can see Caroline's "tHE HOUR IS AT HAND" being typed before it's sent.

i.e., the session we are looking at is Caroline's session -- or one of Caroline's sessions, since we don't see all the messages as she types them.

But it also never shows her as being logged in to the room....so theres somthing weird going on here involving a messed up time line.

New site: http://www.solutionsbackwardsinitiative.net/pilgrims/

Wow, sit down with a drink and watch this unfold. It's live (from the future?) chat of the SBI employees/conspirators being taken down.

24.19.2 comes up on the site also. Who is Toller?

Wow, that chat was insane... God, I have so many more questions now. Who is Caroline? Why can we only see her typing once?

So here's something I don't understand. Who is Darren Kroupa? Is he a real person? How is he relevant?

RE the SWF?

Anyone tried to grab the swf file and reverse engineer it? May have something hidden in it? If I ever get free time, I'll give it a shot.

or run the sites through a site scanner to pick up directories and files that haven't been found yet?

I think its safe to say this much: caroline works for SBI and is secretly a member of the "pilgrims". While this chat is taking place the people inside the room suggest she is not in the room because she is at the SBI site running some kind of operation (assumably involving time travel). I THIIINK that the fact her name isnt in the list of people logged into the chatroom, and that a message keeps appearing in the chatroom that nobody acknowledges, suggests this is some kind of side affect of the time travel experiment that involved her.

or it could be that we are logging in to her account and the chat client only shows a list of others in the room, not yourself. but that doesn't explain the lack of acknowledgment.

I had sort of assumed that CAROLINE was a bot, hence not showing up in the IRC list.

In real life IRC, bots show up. Your client thinks of them just like it thinks of people. Then again, your own name is usually included.... I don't think it's a bot because people did mention her. They just weren't aware she was actually there. Also, bots shouldn't type that slow...or at all, really.

Wayne's text was repeating into the future, right? He said it once, and then it kept getting reposted. Carolina's text gets typed near the end. I have no idea what I mean by this, but it was kind of repeating into the past. So I'm going to agree with the weird-effect-of-time-travel idea for now.
