Hmm...those maps on his computer are very close to where i live. The location is in Campbell. Google and Yahoo headquarters are both approxmiately equidistant from that location (Yahoo to the north in north sunnyvale, and Google to the northwest in north mountain view.)


Perhaps i DO have useful information. I could always go to google headquarters and ask if they know anything.

Ok I got sucked into this thanks to /b/ and I must say I'm nigh scared to death. Here are some of my thoughts so far...

1) In response to EnochHeath and Divy34fasho's discussion this being something nefarious: I don't think this is anything criminal or malicious, because I doubt the perpetrators would let it blow up this much and risk being identified.

1a) This is a bit off-base, but it's something that just came to me as I typed my first point. Since the PM posted this on /b/ (I'm assuming that they did at one point or another, or at least wanted /b/ involved), maybe it has something to do with the video that aired on FOX News a few months back about Anonymous and their victims. Maybe this is someone getting revenge either as a)a massive troll b)a massive mindf**ck or c)a kidnapper who is holding a /b/rother hostage (as seen in Video #001).

2) When I heard "Sometimes" I started taking the lyrics a little bit more literally, like our PM is speaking to us, and here's what I'm thinking:

2a) "Every time you come too close, I move away" Our PM is obviously CLOSELY watching and observing our reactions and responses to their actions. Maybe they have noticed that we're a lot smarter than we seem and we've gotten much closer to figuring this out than they had anticipated. So, they might attempt to throw us off the trail somehow. Thus, "every time you come too close [to figuring this out], I move away."

2b) "I wanna believe in everything that you say" I'm not sure of the deeper meaning here, but it's obviously connected as they are reading and analyzing "everything that [we] say". Also, at this point in the video (:17) we're shown a sample of the 4chan discussion when Anonymous makes the connection between the Sputnik google page. If you look 2 posts below that, however, you'll see a neutral comment (blue) which somehow contributes to the Sputnik comment (green; correct). I'm curious to see what that neutral comment says and how it could contribute to the Sputnik comment.

2c) "'Cuz it sounds so good" Not much here. Just a green post that mentions something about the IRC channel this was discussed in.

2d) "If you really want me" He pans to the Unfiction thread at this point, maybe suggesting a)we're right, and this is an ARG or b)we're just the closest/smartest/have the best ideas. "If you really want me...[these guys are on the right path]". Something along those lines.

2e) "There's things about me you just have to know" Post stating that a search for "Trinstod" isn't a Googlewhack anymore. Also, a post about the possibility that this NOT being an ARG is circled in blue. These might be crucial facts that we "just have to know".

2f) "Sometimes I'm scared of you" Zooms in on the reference to /b/. /b/ can be a very scary place. Again, maybe this is someone who has been victimized by the likes of Anonymous.



In closing, I think 1a) is probably just my imagination going wild. I like to believe that this isn't something we should really be scared of, but it does make it exciting.

I find alot of what you have to say here very intesting. The speed of movement and the timing of lyrics was something I was looking at...

The only thing I disagree strongly with is this:

[Divy34fasho]

It didn't start in /b/, and I myself have posted threads about this in /b/ a few times.

[whycantilogin-ncfriend]

b?

[mashtox]

That's a good point, Enoch. When I saw that "He keeps posting it in /b/" was circled in red, I took it to mean that he was refuting the claim that he was repeatedly posting it there, not that he had posted it at all.


Another thing I was curious about was the way in which he circled some of the statements. Some are circled cleanly while others have a kind of "squiggly" circle around them. Maybe to indicate varying degrees of "correctness"? Also, are there any posts that aren't circled at all?


/b/ is an image bbs that allows anonymous posting. It is a subset of the 4chan forums. /b/ is widely regarded as a shady place to lurk. The "seedy underbelly" of the internet, if you will.

[whycantilogin-ncfriend]

ok..

Re: b?

[EnochHeath]

 boo!

I agree. I don't think /b/ has anything to do with it.

I do think the arrows in #002 are for camera direction. As was stated by someone earlier, it would be hard to pick out which posts to zoom in on without direction.

I also don't think we should be concentrating so much on the song. After all it was written by Britney Spears, not T.

This is my first (possible?) ARG. Do they all somewhat resemble William Gibson's Pattern Recognition?
