'The key is all around you.' sounds like it references either the one other instance of the word 'you' or the letter. But god help me if I can pick anything out of either idea that makes sense.

For what it's worth, both "Believe" and the second "organization" are misspelled. (spelled "beleive" and "oranization")

I tried de-Camoflaging it with passwords 'Anonymous', '4chan', 'Legion', 'key'. Nothing.

I'm raising a warning here, since images from 4chan have a nasty tendency to turn into viruses if you save them as a different extension and run them.

Hm, good point, Yorith.

I wish I had better virus software, I'm afraid to run it now :/

EDIT: Did it anyway, though apparently I didn't do it right. I saved the image as a .air file, then tried to run it and got this message:
"The application could not be installed because the AIR file is damaged. Try obtaining a new AIR file from the application author."

Anyone else get anything out of trying to desteg the file?

Definitely be careful on this one!

I personally think it is stegged, so we shouldn't have too much to worry about, but still, use common since and if you feel there could be an exploit, run a virtual machine with the software needed so it can't affect your main system.

Looking at the file in a hex editor, I don't believe renaming the extension will get you anything. The file ends with the standard closing JPEG tag. If it were masking another file, there would most likely be extra data appended after the tag. For the same reason I can also see it is not Camouflaged, but this doesn't rule out another form of steganography.

I've played with the colours and split to various channels, can't seem to find anything either...
