[SPEC] Question about "The Cause"
Sorry if this was discussed elsewhere

Could someone please explain to me how we reached the conclusion that "The Cause" (if that's its real name) is Anti-Tagruato? All I can really tell is from the Jamie and Teddy Site Videos Jamie refered to Teddy being off with "the cause" saving the world.

I searched the forums and cannot find anything saying the orginization Teddy went off to join was Anti-Tagruato.

The reason I ask this is because with the advent of the new articles on the website I think it is plausible (if not already disproved) That "The Cause" we have been looking for is actually none other than Tagruato itself. Seems to me on the website that Ganu and those who admin the site feel that Tagruato is leading the way in helping the people of the world. Now it is possible that Ganu is an evil bastard, but I doubt he would market himself as such. So if Teddy turned out to be one of these physicists or so he may have been suckered in with the promise of "saving the world" and or "protecting the planet".

Any Thoughts? Proof of Anti-Tagruato sentiment from the mystery cause?

Have you seen the hacked site?

The whole "TAGRUATO IS DESTROYING OUR OCEANS" thing....yea...

Of course, it's not confirmed that The Cause did the hack, but it's assumed.

the cause may refer to something totally different. Theres no connection with anything. its all purely speculation.

The hack may have nothing to do with the cause.

Right it is ASSUMED that The Cause did this, not known.

If Tagruato would release a statement even confirming the hack was IG and by "The Cause" I would be convinced, but I still don't see where "The Cause" is Anti-Tagruato.

I am just worried that somewhere along the way this Assumption has become accepted fact and that we may be heading the wrong direction in some of our thinking. As J.J. said there are things out there we haven't even found yet and he has given us many clues. I am just trying to think outside of the box.

Well, there were things we hadn't found yet as of his e-mail to Harry Knowles on July 9, from which that quote was taken. At that point, even www.slusho.jp had not been found yet. We no longer know if there is more to find. It would certainly seem so, but we can no longer hang our hopes on that quote.

Well I'm definitely NOT "hanging my hopes" on the statement at all. I know it is dated, but this isn't really a debate as to whether there is MORE out there or not. I am just interested in finding out if anyone has any proof about The Cause being Anti-Tagruato. I can't find any and as such can only "assume" (lol RedWalrus) that there is none. I have been guilty of the assumption that The Cause hacked into the Tagruato site, but that's the last thing you want to do in an ARG/ARE is full fledged believe that an assumption is the truth. Sort of like akaparallax, I was once a proponent of that sight being IG, but I realized I had no proof that "The Cause" was anti anything much less oil. Whoever is orchestrating this ARE is either REALLY good or REALLY bad. and it makes me sad Sad

I gotta a question. So is it assumed Rob is going to Japan to work for Tagruato? Is it also assumed that Teddy is part of the cause against Tagruato?
