Except these guys think all this is real and not an arg.



Yes, PrisonPlanet/InfoWars are talking about Operation Blackjack as if it's real, too.

 		The site now has code below the pic (the name of the pic is binary for othello BTW). The code translates to:

Quote:
The tyrant custom, most grave senators,
Hath made the flinty and steel couch of war
My thrice-driven bed of down


The quote is from Othello Act 1 Scene 3

 		There is a post by a user "Valente" at http://www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread473913/pg82 who says that he is the one behind Operation Blackjack. He says:

Quote:

I'll write something about all this on telegraph.co.uk tomorrow but, in the meantime, a few quick thoughts:

1) The Blackjack slideshows all clearly stated that this was a work of fiction and that the events depicted were not real
2) I changed Blackjack to a comic format halfway through to reinforce the message that this was a work of fiction
3) There was going to be a part 6 closing the whole thing but we pulled it
4) This was an experiment in graphic entertainment - using two sites to see how far this would go virally
5) jb12 is the associated site - any other url has no relation to the Telegraph, Blackjack or me
6) The date for the bombs was always June 22, 2010


In a later post, "Valente" says that he decided to stop the game when two things occurred: the publication of his home address and the hacking of his personal url. Seems that Valente was also posting over at the David Icke forums as "Wisleybear":

Also: jackblack12.info now says:

Game over

Final score: T'seekers 2 - 0 JW


from JW: "The 2 represents the 2 blows that knocked me out of this game: the publication of my home address and the hacking of my personal url."

Ah well, fun while it lasted.
