the site is just a logo with "halluci" in white, and "nine" in red. there is a looped video of white flashes, and some sweet drum and bass behind it.
anyone else get an email?

Upon checking the site domain, it was discovered that the site was created using a proxy. (origins of the owner unknown.)

Searching for what the site means.. they found a twitter account, and a youtube account..

Twitter communications began.

Whoever suggested we short by chapter, thanks. I love the crazy factor as entertainment, but it makes sorting clues so hard. This is better.

Also checked the MySpace page, some notes: under 'who I'd like to meet' is "those who seek the truth at all costs" and under 'books' is "the last book"

http://bible.cc/revelation/13-9.htm is a great website to see what other passages or books 13:9 could come from and mean as well.

I'm trying to make sense of it all. I'm taking down notes as I remember
bits and pieces. When it comes to me, it's... well, it's overwhelming,
really. I don't know how I'm getting the information, really. It's
just... coming to me. I'm seeing it. I think it's happening to me.
Sometimes, I think I'm there. I mean, I know I'm there. I have to be.
It's so real. But I open my eyes and I'm back here... right now. And a
lot of times when I come to or wake up or whatever the right term is, I'm
sweating. I'm sweating and shaking. Sometimes I'm really cold or really
hot. It's really taxing. I feel like I've physically gone somewhere. I
mean, I know I have.

I'm trying to keep detailed notes of what all I can remember. I'm writing
it down. It's just... it's hard. My mind is really fractured right now
from all of it. I don't think the human mind was meant to exist like
this. So there are lots of holes. The information is in bits and pieces
right now. I keep filling in the blanks when I can, as I re-experience
some of the same... things. But whoever is sending me this information,
these... experiences... they told me that on the 9th, the Reckoning will
begin and I will have to share the information that I have been given with
others so that I can help them save themselves.

I feel overwhelmed and kind of silly, actually. My
parents, they always told me I was different and that I would play a very
important role with the information I receive. I just wish they were here
to see me make something of it all. It just seemed like chaos for so
long. It still does, but there are patterns there.

Well, in the encrypted tweet, the fall of Babylon is a clear reference to Revelation, to which there also seems to be a reference on Uno's Facebook. So I think we should be looking there. ANd for the number, these are the key verses, in Chapter 13 (the book previously referenced):

Quote:

11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.

12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.

13And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,

14And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by [the means of] those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.

15And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.

16And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

17And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

18Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number [is] Six hundred threescore [and] six.

So basically, the Beast, some kind of Satanic figure, rules an empire whose subjects are marked by his name, or the number of his name, which is 666.

(Although based on early fragments some scholars think it's meant to be 616.)

It's widely believed that the number of his name is a numerological reference -- there's a Kabbalist practice of gematria which assigns numeric values to letters and adds them up to reveal new truths. Owing to other passages, many argue that the number is a reference to one Roman Emperor or other -- often Nero (666 in Aramaic; 616 in Latin) or Caligula (616 in Aramaic and Greek). The other really common strand is to identify the Empire with the Roman Papacy, with various things adding up to appropriate numbers.

So I'd say that's what the tweets are about. But I think this may at this stage be more semi-religious obfuscation and tension-building, rather than clear clues.

Speaking of which: the latest tweet is:

Quote:

9 9999-99999-9 9

I don't even know what number format that is, if anything. All greek to me.

Ah, and I was waiting for this! Uno has posted a link to Revolution no. 9 on the Hallucinine Facebook, alongside the same string of nines posted on the Twitter. God help us if we have to extract any meaning from that track . . .

Also, someone asked about the Beast on the Facebook, and Uno responded "Perhaps The Beast is already here." Seems to confirm that that's what we're looking at.

That was me. He also responded when I tweeted the verse from Revelation "Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great, which made all the nations drink the maddening wine of her adulteries." He responded, " they're still all drinking the wine. they know it's poisoned. yet they don't seem to care. their ignorance is death, not bliss."

I told him in DM that, if they know it's poisoned, then it's suicide.

It also seems the Earhart references have been deleted from the Twitter . . . ?

I emailed One again, asking what we could do to help. I got 2 replies...

Whoever or whatever it is that has been flooding me with all this
information, all these scenarios playing out before my eyes, all these
sounds, and all these images, told me that patterns and messages would
start to materialize and that I would be able to start forming the message
that they want shared with the world.

The problem is, Cassandra asked me to leave today. She said she loves me
but she can't take it anymore. She said she can't handle my instability
and unpredictability. Because of the "way I am," I haven't held a job in
years. It makes it hard. Hell, it makes it hard to go out to dinner
without getting stared at when I have one of my episodes. It makes it
hard to go to the grocery store without getting gawked at or asked to
leave. It makes it hard to go for a walk without later coming to
somewhere else and not being sure how I got there.

I am packing my notebooks and my laptop and some clothes and looking for
somewhere to go. The problem is, I have little money to my name. I am
not sure what I am going to do now. A big part of me, the largest part
perhaps, is telling me to quit... to give up.

...and...

Quote:

But whoever sends the messages assured me that on September 9th, when the
door opens in the sky, I will have nine weeks to get the message or
messages across. They, or him, or it, or whatever it is, made it sound
like I will have at least some clarity on what it is I am to start
conveying by 9/9. That's when I feel I will be able to start explaining.
I hope so.

Cool. So, the door opens on the 9th. He's going somewhere for now... What do you guys think? Do we figure out where he's going, let this be until September 9th, or what?

Oh, and any suggestions on what to email back? I'm new to ARGs and don't want to screw this up!!!

heybeesly wrote:

A new email from Hallucinine/One/Uno/Whatever, hahah...

Quote:

I had to leave the hotel. I couldn't afford it anymore. I sold some of
my things and rented a climate controlled storage space. It is far less
expensive than a room. I am sleeping in the storage unit. I go to a
nearby coffee house for wireless and to panhandle.

Cassandra was my wife. Yes, we lived together up until the time she
demanded I leave. She said she couldn't take my instability anymore. She
insisted that I destroy my notebooks and said the contents of them were my
sickness and that it shouldn't be shared with the world. She said what
was in them was the ravings of a madman and that I needed to grow up and
get in touch with reality.

I am starting to think she is right. I am seriously considering burning
them tonight and trying to get her back.

I think this is all just my imagination getting the best of me.

I am going to tell him to trust his instincts and go with what he honestly thinks he needs to do... That we support him, believe him, and want to see what he has to share with the world. Does that sound good?

Uno's latest Facebook status update:

Quote:

Uno Hallucinine is th9 L9viathan within. If I stop f99ding it, it di9s. It has grown too big r9c9ntly, d9vouring ang9r and living off of s9lf. Oft9n in what s99m th9 most trivial words of madm9n th9r9 is, if only a small pi9c9, truth... or som9thing to b9 us9d lat9r. This is r9-9mphasis. This is r9s9t. This is r9aching for 9mpathy, for sympathy, drowning out th9 symphony of mocking voic9s, th9 chorus of my own doubt.

Looks as though 9=e (which we've seen before). The "translated" message reads:

Quote:

Double check that if you want, but I think I got it.

Mike (sorry, not sure what your name is on here) replied, asking what the voices say. Here's where it gets interesting... In Uno's reply, not only does 9=e, but 8=d. I have a feeling that will come in handy later.

Quote:

I 8on't n998 to t9ll you. You'v9 watch98 first han8 what som9 of th9m say. Th9 causticn9ss of all that which is human is 9nough for m9 to think that p9rhaps th9 gasolin9 an8 th9 match hav9 th9ir plac9 an8 that p9rhaps I shoul8 l9t th9 virus 8o its bi88ing. Why shoul8 I hav9 thought it woul8 b9 any 8iff9r9nt wh9n my wor8s saw th9 light of 8ay. Th9 voic9s sai8 th9 sam9 thing wh9n I was a chil8. Th9 voic9s sai8 th9 sam9 thing at 9v9ry job I 9v9r ha8 an8 was fir98 from for b9ing how I am. Th9 voic9s sai8 th9 sam9 thing wh9n Cassan8ra cast 8oubt on th9 inspiration b9hin8 my visions. Th9 voic9s ar9 saying th9 sam9 thing now. I say l9t th9m look back at th9ir burning city. L9t th9m b9com9 salt. L9t rust an8 moths consum9 9v9rything that th9y h9l8 89ar, all thos9 fl99ting, 9mpty things.

And again, "translated":

Quote:

I don't need to tell you. You've watched first hand what some of them say. The causticness of all that which is human is enough for me to think that perhaps the gasoline and the match have their place and that perhaps i should let the virus do its bidding. Why should I have thought it would be any different when my words saw the light of day. The voices sad the save thing when I was a child. The voices said the same thing at every job I ever had and was fired from for being how I am. The voices said the same thing when Cassandra cast doubt on the inspiration behind my visions. The voices are saying the same thing now. I say let them look back at their burning city. Let them become salt. Let rust and moths consume everything that they held dear, all those fleeting, empty things.

Yikes. Also, earlier, I had commented on his wall checking in to see if he was okay, and got this reply from him:

Quote:

"The emails from people telling me to "hurry the fuck up" don't help. I am dealing with the loss of Cassandra, and trying to make sense of my own words on these pages so that we can find the message within. They have told me that it contains something relevant. But the distractions are many."

Phew. Sorry for the long, long, long post... Also, his comment on my message to him has since been removed. Not sure why. Maybe he's mad at me about something.

Anyway, based on what he said to me about the pressure from everyone, and from his "patience" tweets, I'm thinking it's time to back off.

Also, I know I'm a newbie and all, but based on some of what I'm seeing on the Facebook page, I feel like it's necessary to remind everyone that THIS IS NOT A GAME, remember? Within this realm, Uno is a real guy who needs our help. Treat him with sensitivity and kindness.

heybeesly wrote:

Wow, I hate to double post after ALL that I wrote up there, but he also replied to my email when I asked how he was:

Quote:

I am living in a storage unit. I walk to the local coffee house and steal
wireless. I touch base when I can. I am gathering my thoughts. I am
transcribing many of the messages I have received so that I can begin
sharing them when the door opens in the sky.

Yet people send me hateful messages. Some of them swear at me. I fail to
move fast enough for their liking.

I am about to pour out a lifetime of what Cassandra called my sickness,
and all I am told is that it doesn't come quickly enough.

The gasoline and the match look better every day.

The actions of my fellow humans make me realize that I should just let
this message go unheard.

Be nice to Uno, everyone. He's going through a rough time. Sad

i noticed that earlier you said another great babylon is to fall, a quote i read somewhere was that america was a babylon so can i ask, is this babylon america do you think?

Hals responce:

I think that is entirely possible, and very likely.

now with his pictures and posts and stuff, it is definatly destructive.

Secondly, with hals post:

Quote:

Uno Hallucinine is the Leviathan within. If I stop feeding it, it dies. It has grown too big recently, devouring anger and living off of self. Often in what seem the most trivial words of madmen there is, if only a small piece, truth... or something to be used later. This is re-emphasis. This is reset. This is reaching for empathy, for sympathy, drowning out the symphony of mocking voices, the chorus of my own doubt.

I don't need to tell you. You've watched first hand what some of them say.

This is more bible referenceing, the leviathan i cant remember where ive seen that but the second part refering to salt makes me think of when in genesis, i think it was when lot was fleeing with his family and lead by abraham and God said, if anyone looks back they shall be turned into a pillar of salt and so i think it was sarah who turned back to look s they fled and she became a pillar of salt.

if this is incorrect im sorry could someone correct it but may be it has some reference to hal and his visions?

sorry for the long post,
