I pulled the Quinn images into Photoshop and took a crack at each of the frames. Stacked them and changed every blend mode - nothing. Adjusted brightness & contrast in case something was hidden in the blacks & whites - nothing. I did notice the digital noise images do repeat, sometimes in the same image, but couldn't see anything intelligent in the pattern.

I keep wondering if we're to figure out what he's saying, but don't now how to do that.

He says "We all have a certain --" It cuts off after that.

There is a common theme of 5's. The use of pentagons. Five sense. This combined with the imagery and concurrent themes causes me to believe that this has a lot more to do with 5 gum than anything else.

Honestly the top left one looks more like the head of the guy on the Fallout New Vegas box art

With the recent drops, has anyone thought to compile the list of locations the boxes/envelopes were found? They might have been left in those locations for a specific reason (names lining up, what have you).

Just tossing this out there, since this seems like the best place to put this for the moment, but I'm sifting through the wonky Flash file "static" on missionicefly.com/rescue/, only because it's so glitchy and I can hear little snippets of reverse audio. I doubt anything will come of it, but you never know.

EDIT: After running the backwards audio through Audacity, I've come to the conclusion that it is merely repeated bits of speech from Terry O'Quinn talking in the regular video. It seems that everything in the entire video is merely glitchy and mixed around, with the obvious exception of the link to survivalcode.com/thegenesis in the very last second of the clip. Oh well.

Actually, we think it's the gyroscope that appears on the Coachella 5 Gum interactive website.

I think if it's all about 5 Gum, then there could be a new flavor called "Elektra" based on the name of Gerald Traelek and his institute.

I thought I would post a little about sensory pathways since it seems ours is blocked, maybe this could be helpful with a few more minds to think it over....


Each person has unique brain pathways preferences to take in and think about sensory information.

* Sensory Pathways: Visual (seeing), Auditory (listening) and Kinesthetic (hands-on)
* Cognitive PathWays: Sequential (logical), Global (big picture) and Integrated (cognitively balanced)

A person's "learning style" is frequently described as their strongest or primary sensory pathway to learn (e.g. being "kinesthetic"). This is a very limited and incomplete way of viewing "learning styles." The sequence of sensory preferences is important because it takes two or more sensory pathways to lock in received information. As examples, some people need to "see it and hear it," others may want to "do it and see it," and some may prefer to "hear it and do it."

The various sensory sequences are: KVA, KAV, VKA, VAK, AKV and AVK. (K = Kinesthetic,V = Visual, A = Auditory) The lowest sensory score is what you pay least attention to and is called a "blind spot." Most students are KVA and VKA. Think about the learning challenges of these students, who least prefer listening to the meaning of words, when trying to learn in a lecture setting, with a minimum of visual material and things to do.

The other half of the "learning styles" equation is how you prefer to process or think about sensory information. Some people favor learning and working in predictable, logical, orderly, and process-driven environments. Others require open-ended situations, moving from task to task, and using their imagination to learn and work optimally. The cognitive differences between Sequential and Global thinkers are often overlooked in both the classroom and workplace. It's frequently the defining factor in achieving successful academic and career outcomes.

An expanded neuroscience definition of "learning styles" is a person's sensory sequence to take in information and their cognitive preferences to process it. The combination of sensory and cognitive pathways is our representational system for life. It gives us the ability to learn, express, perform, think, solve problems and make decisions.

Ill just keep editing this as I find things...

Just a thought

Merkin Vineyards. Just saying. Could be something. NIN did do this as well. And TOOL is contractually obligated to make one more album. Didnt notice it until now. Probably nothing. Smile

http://www.caduceus.org/ same symbol the traelek institute uses.
It's Maynard's wine. All about humanity and senses and dialectics at work. Etc. and so on.





***OPERATION PAYBACK*** -check it out, yo.
