ContingencyS1
possible trailhead youtube videos

http://www.youtube.com/user/ContingencyS1

3 videos posted so far, the last one 16 hours ago. Found this posted on /x/ on 4chan. It looks kinda cool. The second and third videos are the most interesting. I was particularly intrigued by the use of MK-ultra.

The gist as far as I can tell: Some fellow named Jonathan Gabriel is seeing something moving in his house, and something seems to have taken over his body. Maybe.

So far, just drawing from the third video...

the street scene is in PA, on Baum blvd (drawn from the auto-shop sign), confirmed by other information (the bar)...Not sure if it's relevant, but that shot was from the riot police V protesters during the Pittsburgh G20...

Okay, so I don't think we're going to get too much from the first two videos,
However, the third is offering plenty of avenues of exploration.

We have Jonathan Gabriel, who according to video 1, has a confession to make.

Video three has been posted by an entity calling itself "Viral Hazmat", claiming it has been created via "chemical genesis", and very few results could be found for this term on a casual google search.

Genesis is defined as:
genesis |ˈjenəsis|
noun [in sing. ]
the origin or mode of formation of something : this tale had its genesis in fireside stories.


So, Hazmat is a creation, not a natural creature.

Project MK ULTRA refers to a real program carried out by the CIA in America, causing the deaths of at least one person.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_MKULTRA

Does anyone else assume that by Hazmat saying that Jon needs his "REST", that he is dead?

First two videos give me the same impression as Marble Hornets.
Haven't watched the third yet, but I have it loading up (youtube is being slow tonight.)

john put to rest, makes me think its more of an alternate personality. esp since hazmat was "created chemically" perhaps through drugs john was given? just another possibility. what was w/ all the ronald mcdonald references?

Hm, good point Ifso,
however, we'll need to watch and see if Jon notices the video uploaded by Hazmat.

The problem is Hazmat said that it would show us it's videos AND Jon's videos, which makes me think that Jon isn't actually posting anything on youtube, Hazmat is doing it for him.

Clear as day for me.

Video 1: Jonathan has evidently heard something, in his house (or thinks he has) - He walks around trying to find something... In the reflection at the end we see something come up behind him.

Video 2: Jonathan again, lurking around his house as he's possibly heard/seen something. He opens the blinds and he (and we) see something outside, he freaks and walks around to the patio doors, he looks toward the gate where someone/thing bolts away after realizing they've been spotted.

Video 3: VIRAL HAZMAT'S video. He discusses being created of Chemical Genesis which, as Ifsogirl so put it (and correctly I believe) has something to do with drugs... Mind Control drugs.

I believe V.H to be an "Alter-Ego" of sorts of Jonathan Garbiel, someone/thing inside him which is au fait with what they (The Government I suppose?) Are doing to him...

As for the McDonald references, V.H talks about mind control, brainwashing... Everybody knows that adverts/commercials are there to brainwash people into buying the product whether it be a Television Show, movie, or a Big Mac and McDonalds are one of, if not THE, leading brand in fast food and commercialism. Quite simple when you think of it like that.

-- I'm not sure if this is an ARG which will go any further however, or somebody's University project. Is there contact info other than YT for Jon or V.H? Somewhere we could communicate with them and see if they'll respond?

ETA: The only Jonathan Gabriel I know of, is Jonathan Gabriel Robbins who plays a guard in Guy Richie's "Sherlock Holmes"

I'm always wary of things that come out of /x/ or the chan for that matter.

Hazmat, meaning chemical in this sense, could possibly relate to a chemical indulgence in the brain. Because like feeling, such as love, it's strictly chemical within the body. Maybe, schizophrenia? this could also relate to the whole "rest" thing, meaning one personality has been laid down and his alternate personality is taking over for the course of this video. I'm not sure though.

Possibly chemical seduction, like drugs?

Alot of possibilities here.

Oooo..this caught my interest. I wonder who is following him. Could it be Viral Hazmat that has been following him in the first two videos? Hmm..

The third video is intriguing. MK-Ultra and mind control. This Viral Hazmat might be Jon's ego and perhaps Jon is a human lab rat himself and Viral Hazmat could be the result of it.

I can't wait to see more videos from this one.

Well Project MK ULTRA was well known for it's use of lsd,
And Hazmat WAS supposed to be created via chemical genesis

Maybe Jon Gabriel is just tripping balls?
Laughing

Also, I messaged the ContingencyS1 page, asking what had happened to Jon,
and I received a reply, I assume from Hazmat saying:

Quote:
Re: Question
He Needs His Rest

He Will Be Back Soon

He posted a fourth video. There is a person in :38. It looks like he is wearing a hood.

Hm, interesting.
Firstly, whats with the references to dusting a bookshelf?

I reckon the important part is the word dust in there, considering the video is tagged as "dusty",
I've tried googling MK ULTRA DUSTY, but nothing has come up of importance.

S1 is a chemistry safety phrase meaning keep locked up. Maybe Jonathan is locked up because he's like, dangerous. And maybe the person who he keeps seeing is some sort of spook. I grabbed the audio from "Three" if anyone wants it, but I can't seem to find anything in it myself. I may just suck though.
