 		Lot happening. Enlightenment Society website was supposedly hacked by these guys;

http://www.kitsuneliberationarmy.kk5.org/

Things are moving forward, examining that website now and watching the video. Will try examining the source code and report back with anything I find.

Also check the blog as well.

Funny funny,

 		There are several messages being spray painted if you watch the video, only one I was able to pick out and get down on paper, written in cyrillic, am attempting to decode now.

 		OK, I've watched the video, it seems to be filmed in Russia.

The video is hosted at youtube
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdqM7fX3PXg
account name is "umwelt" (German for environment)

This was an action of activists (real?), and the video is 1 year old.

The graffities in Russian mean:

Позор убийцам = Blame the murder.

Вырастить животное, чтобы убить? = To breed the animal for killing them?

Свободу животным = Freedom for animal

 		Damn...spoil my fun hehe. Kidding, thanks for pointing that out. Will go back to examining the website code, see if that turns anything up..

And we now know why Eric was heading to Osaka, they appear to be based there, I'm willing to bet it's pretty certain he is the friendly texan they mention..

Web pages split out as before, code looks pretty standard, can't spot any hidden codes, feel free to examine tho, will grab all the pics;

Sorry for spoiling, but they (Kitsune Liberation Army) are clever:

Quote:
We ask for the public to voice their concerns and carry a protest in the legal manner.

We take no responsability for actions or artivities taken by the viewers of this video.

...leave it to the professionals..


I understand it in that way: while of active, semi-legal actions of ALF, Kitsune Liberation Army hacks the websites i.e. they do virtual battle, so it isn't spoiler Wink They link themself the video of ALF on YouTube.

Btw, Kitsune, 狐, is Japanese fox ghost, they say, a fox as a very clever beeing can take possession of a human body and mind. There is a phenomenon in Japanese culture, known as "Kitsune tsuki" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kitsune#Kitsunetsuki), very weird psychical illness.

 		Cool, Prizefighter! Thanx for analyzing the webpage.

Weird is, all that numbers begin with 452... (it was with other pages the same, wasn't it?)

Not really, both websites are being hosted by moonfruit.com, as was the original conspiracy08 website and I suspect the Junkers website as well, with domain control handled by gandi.net. Both legit oog businesses.

 		Enlightenment Society website appears to have been cleared of the hacked messages that were in place earlier.

 		Anyone else get this e-mail? It was in my spam and I haven't been playing this game so I don't know what's going on.

Hi,

My name is John Blacksmith. I am an ARG player like you- quite obsessed too perhaps. Well I am emailing you and asking around for any information to find my best friend Eric Remington. He did a local ARG recently, but then suddenly disappeared. Something happened to him, but he left me a trail to follow.

The original ARG was called the 'Conspiracy08', however it imploded a few days ago.. It was somewhat known in the ARG unfiction forums in this thread:

http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=23445

Anyhow, I've been trying to keep track of what is going on in my blog. Here is the link.

http://bleedingmaroon08.wordpress.com/

I really don't know where this is leading to, but apparently he left Texas and went to Japan. This Is my friend, and definitely not an ARG or a joke. Please help me find him. I will not bother you anymore, and I apologize for the interruption. BTW, i took the courtesy to make this blind carbon copy.

Yours truly;

John Blacksmith.

The search has barely started


[EDIT] After looking through this thread I see you guys are already on top of this. I didn't see this particular e-mail, but there doesn't seem to be anything new to help you. So...good luck I guess.
