"Quoth the Raven" is by Edgar Allan Poe. Poe wrote "The Gold Bug" which involved cipher-text ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Gold-Bug ). Substitution Cipher of the "Gold-Bug" variety to be exact ( http://rumkin.com/tools/cipher/substitution.php )....

 		Nice solve, some quick research shows it's more likely Dame de Coeur and is a type of rose. "This rose is also known as "The Black Rose,""

Also you decrypted the smiley Confused

ETA: ok no it's literally "QUEEN OF HEARTS" in french Mad

 		cards
the queen of hearts is a fair and just person, and in traditional cards her name is Judith

the jack of spades is someone who will hamper your progress

the ace of spades brings death (U.S. soldiers used to stuff Ace of Spades in the mouths of dead Viet Cong. soldiers)... O_O for shizzire!

the king of spades incidentally is named "David"

about the spades in the messages, maybe we are supposed to count the spades in each line and then decode it? i'll go through a few messages and see what i find, but i really suck at that sort of thing Razz

 		The CFG youtube rss just updated with a private video that then disappeared from the RSS, but if I embed it you can see the first frame:

The original title of the RSS feed was: p33 marcus1 jb 100526

Edit: we don't need the same youtube twice in one thread so i removed mine

 		The guy wears a good shirt with the CFG, the Anarchy and the Peace symbol.

He says:

"My name is Markus. A few years ago a guy called Brian came and picked me up from a nightclub. Apparently the Conspiracy For Good is under attack! I can't get in touch with any of the others. One of them might be dead. I'm leaving for Thailand in 10 minutes and ... no, I tought you when I get to the save bus. Bye."

Correct me if I misunderstood anything. I didn't see any visual hints in the video yet.

The video text is:

"Conspiracy for Good is under attack, and the new operator is on the run. Join the resistance on www.conspiracyforgood.com. "

Was Pegbox the previous "operator"? She was spokesperson.

Do you think he is referring to Pegbox with the "might be dead" words?

 		aha

mine is slightly different:

My name is Marcus. A few hours ago, a guy called Brian came to pick me up from a night club. Apparently the Conspiracy for Good is under attack. I can't get in touch with any of the others. One of them might be dead. I'm leaving for Taiwan in ten minutes and… nah, I'll talk to you when I get to the safehouse. Bye.


ETA: conspiracy for good has added a blog post about it http://conspiracyforgood.com/public/view/189

ETA: Blog post confirms the winner is Thailand Razz

 		Regarding the transcript:

I think I might hear "safehouse" as well, would make sense, that's the bit I wasn't sure of.

But I am sure it's "Thailand", not Taiwan.

 		From the official website:

Hey, I'm Marcus. I don't know what to say, but I'm kind of in a tough spot here… One minute I was having a good time at a nightclub in London when all of a sudden some guy called Brian comes up to me and tells me that we need to leave. What I first took for a poor terminator impersonation turned out to be a message from an old friend of mine, the man you know as Argyle.

Something bad's happened to Argyle and "the others." I wasn't ever part of Argyle's activities or conspiracy theories, I mean – I kind of knew about them, but I never asked too many questions… and now it seems like I'm in charge.

It's all fucked up, is what it is. I'm at an airport now, and in the package I got from Brian I found tickets to Thailand. I mean, don't you need a shot to go there? Anyway, I'll get back to you guys in a couple of days. I need your help to understand what the hell's going on here.
