 		Hey guys, I'm new here but I've been lurking and decided to jump in. I've received an email requesting my address to send me a package as well. I will post what I get when it comes.

 		Israeli Nationals on 9/11
Ok, so this is largely only a gut feeling, but nonetheless pretty interesting.
In my second last post I mentioned the Letterman interview on Sept 17. There are two relevant themes in this interview, the first is the sense of panic and rebirth of terror that is necessary for a well functioning mime-net. People acted as if this sort of thing had never happened before (not on this scale obviously, but after the first bombing of the WTC people thought America would never be the same, scar on its face, etc.) This is important for explaining the mood of those who buy deeply into the military industrial media complex.

The second interesting part of this interview is the mention of Israeli spies/terrorists/? whom at the time of the interview were not known to be Israeli, but thought by Letterman falsely to be an Islamic sleeper cell. There were indeed Israeli nationals, and after being detained for two months deported. There is an archive ABC article on this, and one of the individuals in the darkcloud blog link to this.

So, it gets better....

EDIT: Apparently there was also a van rigged with explosives that detonated after 2 individuals were arrested...

 		Don't need to say this but will
I'd love to get into this one. I have no problems with the stuff already mentioned as problems. my problem is just burn out. I can't bring myself to go over all this stuff again. At the time, I read everything - the standard media stuff, the alternative media stuff and the fringe/conspiracy stuff. I'm going to back out only because - I (me personally) just can't do it again. I did it so much then ... too much ...

I think it could be a great game, and I hope it is! There is much to work with!

But I'm going to move on to things I haven't already visited.

Thanks,
emato

 		Pardon my sounding like an early-morning radio show host, but...

With all the insistence of TINAG, I wonder if this whole thing is meant to reveal and spread actual evidence of something. With all of the media coverage and various theories about 9/11 it's hard to distinguish between alleged fact and loony ravings. Perhaps this is an undercover Wikileak.

I don't know what would be more worrisome...

Good job. You're going to get us all v&. Unless that's the purpose...

EDIT: Wow. Haaretz published an article on Sept 17 that 5 Israeli were detained on 9/11 for 'puzzling behaviour'. This article came out the same day Letterman spoke to Dan Rather, and Rather suggested it was an Islamic sleeper cell. How could they have not known the men were Israeli. These guys have media teams that report to them...

 		floppy
I've been lurking, and I'm interested in how this thing plays out. I'm new to ARGs, so I doubt I'd be chosen to receive a disk, but I do own an external floppy drive. Just putting that out there.

 		My worry is the implication that we don't know what's real and what's not in anything that we uncover related to this 'game'. Being tied to real events this can very easily turn into false conspiracies some treat as real, especially if the fictionally content is not disseminated as such in this context...
Make an arg that ties into the 9/11 events, sure, but try to mix reality and fiction in the context of explaining actual history, and... I may take a hands-off with this one. Confused

Also, what emato said - burn out Wink

Yes, Where I was interested at first. This seems to be heading towards adding to the spreading of RED HEARINGS Red Herring and MISINFORMATION.

Sniff,sniff. I smell using an ARG to AID and HELP COVER UP 9/11!

 		New stuff has been added to the site today. Two new information pages and about six more music videos. But now they're from 2002. I think every time the site updates it's going to go up a year.

 		New Video
The Darkclouded also uploaded a new video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4lvUwTaPGnk

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
At 0:22 seconds, the words PATTERN RECOGNITION appear. At 0:38 the words DARKCLOUDGAME appear.

The first comment leads to the following page on the website: http://www.thedarkestpuzzle.com/demo44/?p=350 Another music video, this time Beck's Lonesome Tears.

 		Re: New Video
So far this seems to be mostly an interestingly-curated collection of music videos and links. Mr. Puzzle does have good taste in music, though...

The "p=350" codes in the URL links to each of the music videos seem kind of random but there is no pattern that I can see so far...

pattern recognition
So, its pretty clear in the new video that "darkcloudgame" was only a lead to the clue we missed on the first blogspot ( using DarkCloud to help obscure out cloudmakers).
"Pattern Recognition" is more interesting in that it is likely a reference to William Gibson's novel of the same name.
Check the wikipedia article if you haven't read the book:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pattern_Recognition_(novel)#Plot_summary

In the spirit of out-of-control, mind-fucking meta one of the major plot arcs revolves around Cayce's discovery of highly edited video-clips. Individuals team-up in an all too ARG-like hunt to find out what's going on...Yeah, and Cayce's dad disappeared sept. 11
