 		Matt's review: March 02
For those of you trying to catch up with the game, you could do worse that consult the handy review of evidence concerning Dr. Genero that Matt posted on Rainbow of Death:

Quote:
Dr. Salvatore Genero - Fri, March 2, 2007

As you may have seen from the sub-standard images I posted to the most recent journal page entries, I am still without a properly working scanner. Hopefully I can pick one up after I get back into town and post more pages, but right now I'm too busy with other matters...

Given the recent discoveries from certain restricted areas of M-A-R-A.org, it seems that Dr. Genero, the head of my grandfather's top-secret Project Rainbow, may be more deeply involved with events both past and present than I had thought. In addition to compelling evidence that Genero was a Nazi expatriate who did bizarre and horrifying experiments in the 1950s, it has been speculated that he also may be the "The Miller"--the infamous, underground body-mod guru whom Jon Paine was going to see when he disappeared in December.

I will be leaving this weekend to meet with M-A-R-A's Nate Shiffer in Florida, and the subject of Dr. Genero will be at the top of my agenda. In an effort to organize my thoughts on this matter, I am compiling the information we have learned about Genero in this blog entry. If you have any other ideas, theories, or suggestions, please discuss them in the Monster Hunter Forum (a rather apropos place, I think, when you consider the following.)

On Dr. Genero, from John Wheeler's journal and Dr. Tinneman's notes:

7/5/66: My grandfather refers to Genero as "one of the world's leading geneticists." Interestingly enough, my grandfather also writes that "[Dr. Tinneman] said...he didn't go to Harvard Med School to learn how to work 'for this Nazi.'" When I first read this, I assumed it was just a pointed insult, but in hindsight, perhaps Tinneman had his suspicions even then.

8/4/66: Genero exhibits almost superhuman reflexes and agility, especially for "a man of Dr. G's age," as he kills a baby King Cobra with his bare hands.

8/7/66: Genero reminisces about a lodge in Upstate New York and gives my grandfather some photos of it. Based on the cars in the photos, they appear to be from the 1950s--could Genero possibly have stayed at this lodge during his tenure at Plum Island? It is arguable whether this area would be considered "Upstate" New York (map), but this journal entry did grab my attention again within the context of the newly discovered Plum Island section of M-A-R-A.org (see below.)

8/19/66: Dr. Tinneman tells my grandfather, "At last I have some proof," presumably the photo labeled "Overseeing CHASE." The meaning behind this acronym was later revealed in Tinneman's "Pudding Code" message:

I found a letter of commendation about Genero's work on something called Operation CHASE. One of my Saigon contacts told me that stands for Cut Holes And Sink Em, a program to dump toxic waste chemicals at off shore sites around the world. He's been involved in these chemicals programs longer than he told us about.

8/22/66: "[Dr. Genero] went into town to check into reports of a local village boy who claimed to have been bitten by a 'dragon' while playing in the Mekong." Given the new perspective on Genero's past experiments such as "Reptilian Mammalian Synthesis" (see M-A-R-A: Plum Island, below) this journal entry struck me as particularly noteworthy when I read it again. A couple of phrases always struck me as peculiar, even for a non-native English speaker, in this sentence:

He tried to get more information out of the girl, but she just kept saying Dr. G. "make bad sex-it" and that he was a "non-tah" by which Dr. T. said she meant "non-touch" or "untouchable."

Why "sex-it" instead of "sexy" or just "sex"? And a "non-tah"--even if mispronounced, I'd think there would be at least some consonant at the end of the word "touch." I started looking at these phrases phonetically, and in the context of Southeast Asia, and did a little research. "Sex-it" actually might be "saksit," a term for supernatural powers used in Thailand and Laos. "Ananta" (a non-tah) could be a reference to a mythological serpent-god that represents eternity in Asian cultures. Of course, I can't be sure if that's what the Thai cleaning woman really meant, but it's feasible that she might have regarded Genero this way.

9/7/66: "He wondered why Dr. G. was in Germany in 1949, while at the same time having bank accounts in the US under multiple names." (See M-A-R-A: Bergstrom AFB, below.)

9/10/66, coded message from Tinneman: "Watch your back." There's also the odd drawing, dated the day before, of a child walking a huge lizard on a leash.

9/15/66, coded message from Tinneman: "The things he is doing. God help us all! Find my notes. I've left something to help you read them, too." (the 6x6 decoder)

Another coded message from Tinneman: "What the hell is Genero doing? The new lab he is building is some kind of giant cooler or refrigerator. The GI I talked to said they are bringing in cold weather gear from a base in Goose Bay but routing it through the 25th Infantry stationed at Clark Air Base to hide the trail."

10/1/66, coded message from Tinneman: "Creatures, monstrosities like I've never seen. Abominations down in this hell hole on earth. I don't know if Genero is studying them or, God forbid, creating them somehow." In addition, "There was a drawing on the back of it, an eerie still life probably sketched while he was in G's secret lab." Note the similarity between the fish-like thing on the right side of the drawing and the creature from the video found in the M-A-R-A: Plum Island directory (see below.)

10/11/66: A busload of children arrives at Genero's private lab compound in the middle of the night.

10/18/66: "Only a madman would call this Agent Yellow a 'great success.'" This is another indication that Dr. Genero's goals may have been greatly divergent from what would appear to be the official goal of Project Rainbow, namely, to develop an antidote to Agent Orange.

Another coded message from Tinneman: "Genero conducted some secret program with the Chinese shortly after Paperclip at Bergstrom." (See M-A-R-A: Haneda Air Base and M-A-R-A: Bergstrom AFB, below.)

On Dr. Genero, from password-protected directories of M-A-R-A.org:

M-A-R-A: Haneda Air Base
UN: HAFB
PW: classifiedfolder
This section contains a folder of Chinese Bigfoot articles and clippings. According to a text document authored by M-A-R-A members, the "item [was] retrieved from locked file cabinet drawer marked GENERO/ CLASSIFIED." According to Dr. Tinneman, Genero had worked on a secret program with the Chinese--could these "Wild Men" have been his own creation?

M-A-R-A: Goose Bay
UN: GBL
PW: coldweathergear
No specific mention of Dr. Genero in this directory, but recall that Dr. Tinneman did say that he was bringing in cold weather gear from Goose Bay for use in his private lab.

M-A-R-A: Clark Air Base
UN: CAFB
PW: 25thinfantry
Again, no specific mention of Genero here, but according to Tinneman, the 25th Infantry at Clark was being used to hide the trail of Genero's incoming cold weather gear.

M-A-R-A: Plum Island
UN: PINY
PW: lab101
A scanned requisition document shows a laundry list of noxious chemicals to be used by Dr. Genero in the infamous Lab 101, for such experiments as "Reptilian Mammalian Synthesis" and "Animal Form Manipulation," both surgical and genetic. Even more startling is the digitized film clip showing a grotesque creature that bears an uncanny resemblance to both the "fish" in Dr. Tinneman's "Eerie Still Life" and the "things in the water" photographed by Cryptidtruth.

M-A-R-A: Bergstrom AFB
UN: BAFB
PW: paperclip
Included in this directory is a photograph of the men of Operation Paperclip, a US government program that brought Nazi scientists to America after WWII. A heavily edited, typewritten document would appear to disclose that Salvatore Genero's real name is Erich Miller--it has been suggested that this person could also be "The Miller ," the doctor sought by body modification enthusiast Jon Paine. Dr. [Donald] Ewen Cameron, also mentioned in the document, was a Scottish-American scientist who conducted CIA "mind control" experiments from 1957-1964.

Again, if I've missed something, or you have additional insights to contribute, please discuss on MHC. Thanks.

 		Quick request!
There have numerous puzzles released since the M-A-R-A puzzle set, and for archival purposes on the wiki, can someone (or people) please add references to these puzzles and their answers? Or at least add links to them so it's easier to find and organize them. Thanks to anyone who can help

 		[news] "The Host" dominated the Chinese box-office

[Korean Film News] "The Host" Tops Chinese Box-office
(Posted In Asia Box Office Film News )
Bong Joon-ho's "The Host" dominated the Chinese box-office last week, grossing some 5.2 million yuan (US $671,574) to become the first Korean film to top the Chinese box-office in the first week since its opening. "The Han River Ghost," as it is misleadingly called there, beat out other high-profile films, including "The Devil Wears Prada." Opening on a record 250 screens, the film has received rave reviews by Chinese media, with one daily writing that "The Host" is a Korean-type masterpiece that stands apart from Hollywood movies and exquisitely blends elements of black comedy and satire. Box-office results were considerably less spectacular in Japan, the United Kingdom and in France. "The Host" is currently making the rounds in the United States and will open in Germany, India, Denmark and Argentina in the first half of the year.
