i feel like there's something going on with this doubling letters that relates to the name belle (double l) and, of course, to eleven, and possibly to the cipher as well. also the people who seem to be plants in this forum have had double letters in their names (coolson, boone).

Wow, I'm flattered. Someone thinks I'm a plant. I assure you I'm not. I'm also flattered that a couple folks acknowledged the Hitler Youth theory that I shared a while back. I haven't posted for a while because I got bored with how much folks were going over old ground without adding anything new or acknowledging the folks that posted similar ideas before. I appreciate someone taking the time to go back and acknowledge an old post.

That said, I don't know how much I buy this nazi angle. When I posted the Hitler Youth theory (on July 10th), I thought it was far-fetched then, but I still asked plenty of questions on the Formspring about it. So far, no answers. I don't buy the idea that Belle is Hitler's daughter at all, and I also don't really buy the idea that Belle was a child in a concentration camp. I just don't see how that could connect to the stone throwing contraption or whatever artistic happening is being set up for 8-3-11. The only appeal of the Belle-as-a-Hitler-Youth angle was that it would give us a reason to judge her and would challenge us not to "throw stones," as it were, figuratively or literally. I still think it's far fetched, though. The Bavarian girl in that picture does look a bit like Belle, but I don't see how anyone could think it was the same picture. Also, if it's correct that the Hitler photo was taken on July 26th 1939, I don't see how it could be Belle as she would have been 11 years old by then. Edit: Also, that Holocaust Center link about Belle Frajnovits Selman says she was 6 when the war started (1939). Again, Belle would have been 11 by then.

I'm curious about these Bob Dylan references, though. At least they might be giving us a hint as to who must get stoned on 8-3-11. Laughing

I'll answer fully when you register and actually provide some proof yourself. Having read everything on the Formspring, this has nothing to do exactly with Belle, who was not hurt either. Did Hitler give her a skin disease? lol They already said this isn't about Hitler, someone getting hurt, or otherwise. Maybe you should do everyone a favor and read that Formspring before you theorize again.

Dude, every single time I see you on this thread, you're bitching about people coming up with ideas that don't match what you already know. The thing is... we can't be so sure that the Formspring answers are 100% true, or that they aren't worded in such a way as to make you believe a lie.

For example, when they say "she's American" it might just be that she wasn't BORN American, and might have married an American and received citizenship. When they say "she answered to the name Belle" it could mean that Belle was her real name and she later changed it, that it was the short form of her name or a nickname... and today she could still be using it - or not. They don't really specify.

If she was in a concentration camp, she wasn't DIRECTLY linked to Hitler. You could say that this had nothing to do with Hitler and still speak about about a Holocaust victim, because presumably, it wasn't him, personally, who did anything bad to her.

And why the Hell would there be so many links to pain and torture if the "symbol" for their campaign apparently lived a long and happy life, with nobody ever abusing her or causing her pain... and then in her 80s she just happened to have a skin disease (which I'm sorry to tell you but for a 80 year old woman, is a very small health problem to have. Surely she's got other health marks, but this one especially interests the guys at 8-3-11. Otherwise they wouldn't be mentioning it).

No, people don't read close to 70 pages of chaotic ideas - pages in which, might I add, nobody has really reached any mind-blowing conclusion...

If you hate it when people post "stupid" replies, then stop posting replies just to attack people for exposing an idea that you've already heard! Those posts are just as stupid and useless as those made by the "guests" that you deem "inferior". You've been bitching for at least 20 pages!

Just let people speak about what they know or what they think and MAYBE you'll see that there actually is a lead in their info. But nooooo... you're too busy PMS-ing.

thanks< someone had to say it!!!!!!

why is the only photo with the month and day inverted http://8-3-11.info/The%20Switch.png called The Switch? the whole idea of the images seems to deal with a switch to control something. like my nick suggests, i have no idea but i just keep getting the word switch in my head :/

The image on the home page is named Belle M..jpg

On 8-3-1911 (8-3-11), the New York Time published the obituary of Belle Mansfield.

She became the first female lawyer in the United States. Mansfield was also active in the women's suffrage movement, chairing the Iowa Women's Suffrage Convention in 1870, and worked with Susan B. Anthony.

This may be part of the mystery.

I think this one was already mentioned earlier in the thread, and linked to International Women's Day (which is March 8, not August 3).

But if we're going to go down that route, Mary Bell was a child murderer who supposedly reformed and had a child of her own. There was some controversy over whether a child murderer should be allowed to keep their own child, as I recall. But it's just as tenuous a link, I suppose...

Calm down, dude. I'm playing devil's advocate. His theory still doesn't account for the astrological clues.

It could mean she lives in one of the Americas too, not only the USA. It's a nickname, it seems. What's your point there?

Of course, but she's not directly related to the cause. She's a symbol of it. Not one single clue makes his theory better than anyone else's.

Links to pain and torture? Where?

If you registered here on this site, you will. It's called common courtesy. I can just bring on the trout, if they prefer it over words.

Saying you are right without any hard proof is stupid. Repeating old ideas without building on it is what has made this thread 70 pages long. If they did read the whole thing, it would have never exceeded 25.

Applications?
It seems applications have opened back up, are any of you going to try and apply?

I thought about it. Then got nervous. But also curious. I don't want to end up as a dead cat.

Anyone else want to try?
