The whole subspots thing is very intriguing. All the posts relating to the topic are less than a week old, though only one is from a new account.

The whole idea of there being a second indicatory icon for these military hotspots seems somewhat difficult to believe. I cannot imagine that a hardened government hotspot would self-identify before an attack, it would be strategically unsound - after an attack, of course, just continuing to broadcast would be announcement enough.

These are the relevant posts that I was able to google up. All locations seem to be in or around London. Many of these accounts seem to be legitimate, with long join-times and other postings not related to the topic at hand. I am not sure if contacting these posters would be advisable or not.

The objectives of the HAARP project became the subject of controversy in the mid-1990s, following claims that the antennas could be used as a weapon. A small group of American physicists aired complaints in scientific journals such as Physics and Society, charging that the HAARP could be seeking ways to destroy or disable enemy spacecraft or disrupt communications over large portions of the planet. The physicist critics of the HAARP have had little complaint about the project's current stage, but have expressed fears that it could in future be expanded into an experimental weapon.

These concerns were amplified by Bernard Eastlund, a physicist who developed some of the concepts behind the HAARP in the 1980s and proposed using high-frequency radio waves to beam large amounts of power into the ionosphere, energizing its electrons and ions in order to disable incoming missiles and knock out enemy satellite communications. The US military became interested in the idea as an alternative to the laser-based Strategic Defense Initiative. However, Eastlund's ideas were eventually dropped as SDI itself mutated into the more limited National Missile Defense of today. The contractors selected to build HAARP have denied that any of Eastlund's patents were used in the development of the project.

After the physicists raised early concerns, the controversy was stoked by local activism. In September 1995, a book entitled Angels Don't Play This HAARP: Advances in Tesla Technology by the former teacher Nick Begich, Jr., son of the late Congressman Nick Begich, claimed that the project in its present stage could be used for "geophysical warfare." The HAARP has subsequently become a target for those who have suggested that it could be used to test the ability "to deliver very large amount of energy, comparable to a nuclear bomb, anywhere on earth," changing weather patterns, blocking all global communications, disrupting human mental processes and mind control, causing earthquakes, and "x-raying" the earth. These claims are generally disregarded by scientists and those involved with the project as being completely baseless.

On February 15th, the DSP-4 039 transmitter, supposed to only receive, sent massive amounts of 2.25Hz radio waves into the ionosphere, the same day the United States military announced their intention to use a missile to destroy USA-193, the spy sattelite that was in route of collision with the earth

lol, We don't cite our resources anymore?

 subspots and viral ad
i think it's an advert for some new movie...cloverfield-ish.

come on people. how many message boards have you searched through looking for an explination? did you notice that a lot of them had the same poster asking the same question, or stating the same story about "a friend in Afghanistan..." or some other military base overseas...it's all too much for me.
i also noticed that the person who asked the question usually doesn't respond to any other remarks...just a hit and run, so to speak.

heironymous.balthazargooglemail.com----this email address was on a few.
and then there is Lord_H....maybe a shortened version of the first, albeit a rather self-exalting one. Lord_H actually responds to some, but seems to be herding the discussion by adding more "clues"...and then adds

"Apparently the image on the phone screens (when connecting to SUBSPOTS) look a little something like this: (the now infamous image on phones in subspots is posted here)
Cool or what eh?
"

----way too much info for it to be anything other a new movie or show.
and i spent WAY too much time researching this...maybe i'm just bitter?

hehe, a tad. This is all pure speculation anyhoo, there won't be any sort of forward momentum on anything until the countdown reaches zero.

More "character" establishment, hastily put together if you ask me.

I posted that pic here, I found it somewhere else whilst doing a search on subspots... But I want to make it clear I've had nothing at all to do with any of the 'other' postings about that... I assume you weren't connecting the two as the same person but I just wanted to clear that up Smile

--------

Ok clicking the countdown timer... Brings you to the following url: http://www.emergencysubnet.com/

This then brings up a few different images in London each time you go to it, seeming to have been under some kind of attack. I'll post them below.

Moving on.

Now the first time this loaded I got a video of the girl from the very first time the site was launched; but now it's sticking on those 3 circles and you're able to click them.

Clicking on the the Publicnet will give you the 'recentact' image...

Clicking on the searchnet will give you the 'searchnet' image to which you can input a keyword... Leave that long enough it'll give you the 'failed' image.

Actually damnit I cannot seem to access anything now it continues to give me the failed screen of the image I've posted...

But first time I went to it, it loaded the screen of Big Ben etc; then went onto another screen which I didn't catch but was about Subspot(s) and had the image I posted on page 1... Then went to a video of the chick I mentioned previously (She had a British accent) and all I caught was her "wanting to say goodbye" to someone...

Damnit!
