Stellenbosch, the oldest town in South Africa after Cape Town, is situated in a mountain valley, but has a mild Mediterranean climate. It is therefore the center of the country's wine industry, and is also home to the world-renowned 'Maties' University. Many national and international industries have their headquarters here.

(Also, my husband and I can highly recommend the wine from any of the Stellenbosch vineyards. ;)

The Afrikaans "Toe die dag van die pinksterfees aanbreek" is from Acts Chapter 2, verse 1: __And when the day of Pentecost was fully come__, they were all with one accord in one place.

"Pharoah's lean kine are to be loved" is a line (by Falstaff) in Shakespeare's Henry V.

Kurfurstendamm 35 is a hotel in Berlin called...wait for it...Hotel California! See a picture of the lovely apronned bear out front here: http://p.vtourist.com/269444.jpg

A very interesting and relevant page: http://www.uni-mannheim.de/mateo/camenaref/cmh/cmh407.html

Map is tiergarten Berlin - It is literally smack in the centre of Berlin to the Eastern end of a large green space at the intersection of 17 June St and 96 

Here is a nother map of the same area http://www.holidaycityeurope.com/tiergarten-berlin/map.html note the landmarks for future reference.

Note the carillon in the map. threw was a picture of a carillon in the Dec 2002 message delivered to webmaster. (it is the big machine with the cylinder with the bumps on it that looks like a gigantic misic box. Note also other landmarks like gothe etc. mentioned elsewhere.

I will follow the following convention and treat the line running down the sphere 1,5,17 as if a Prime Meridian (the Greenwich meridian) on the Earth. the text from top left follows a number sequence of a "prime meridian" on the sphere and continues on the bottom right in the order1,5,17,29,23,11, 62,58,46,34,40,52 and we are back back to 1 then an "equator is traced out 26,27,28,29,30,31,37,36,35,34,33,32 but the 45 degrees W is missed (marked 26)

The top right text follows the 60 W meridian 1 60 48 27 42 54 62 then back up the opposide side (the 90 degrees east meridian) Noth the 9, 21, 1 the continuation of this (missing out 36) is marked in the map. The sphere is marked out in twelve segments similar to time zones. That would set the "latitude circles" at 30 degrees esch apart the "equator" of the bottom right being zero.

The prime meridian contains prime numbers on the "Greenwich" side (except south pole) and only even numbers on the "International date line" side

the other 60 degrees W 120 East are divisible by three (except S and N pole) One wonders of their polar co ordinates or their position converted to Lat long could be related to the flat map seperation or the actual "latitude/ longitude" of the numbers on the map and the series continued.

By the way here is an interesting history of Eastern Germany link: http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/H._Jonat

The squares reading clockwise (star, exclamation mark, cardinalor hash sign, asterisk seems (from memory) in other messages to always have this order.

240 California st is a raddison hotel here: http://www.radissondestinationguide.com/directions.process/OID_EB39EA2D/OLID_3590/CID_1/SID_108/BID_18410/

202 N central is the San Carlos hotel in Pheonix AZ. Its a three star hotel :) by the way: LINK, LINK

Top right panel:
Koeberg is the nuclear power plant in South Africa. Stellenbosch is a town in South Africa and the student of its university are
known as "Maties". "Toe die dag van die pinksterfees aanbreek" is Afrikaans for "When the day of the whitsuntide arrives"
Top left panel: the [$\omega... is latex coding for mathematical formulae.

But when sin or iniquity is forgiven, then the result is as if the sin never had a existence at all. Selicha means complete forgiveness so that there remains absolutely no trace of the sin. For only Selicha can denote absolute forgiveness. As the literal translation of Selichot, forgivenesses, suggests, the purpose of reciting the prayers (Selichot) is to ask Hashem to forgive sins.

A Japanese tanka (or waka) is a poem composed of thirtyone syllables in two sections: kami-ku and shimo-ku. The three lines of kami-ku comprise five, seven, and five spoken syllables respectively. Each of the two lines of shimo-ku comprises seven spoken syllables. Something interesting while I was looking for this... The first two hits on google present this information in both English and Swedish, which I think is most likely significant, since references to things Swedish occur fairly frequently. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=kami-ku (Especially considering the links following the first two don't actually seem to tell about kami-ku and shimo-ku.)

Both of these pages are done by a Lars Wallin who is a self-taugh scientist and museum expert (and part-time artist which is what his web page is showcasing).

His internet galleries have some very interesting pictures. Will check it out to see if there's more here.

240 california street is the address of Tadich Grill, located in San Francisco, it is the oldest restaurant in California. From the book's blurb: In 1849, an unassuming coffee stand was founded on the San Francisco waterfront. The constants throughout the Tadich's evolution have been hearty seafood and other local specialties, and the stewardship of Croatian American families. John Tadich immigrated to San Francisco in 1872 and started working at the then-called New World Coffee Saloon soon after, becoming sole owner in 1887. He sold the restaurant in 1928 to the Buich family, which has carried on the Tadich tradition ever since. A destination restaurant and a local treasure, the Tadich Grill continues to evoke an old-world feel. The Tadich Grill captures the history, ambiance, and flavors of this San Francisco institution, presenting a warm portrait of a true culinary success story.

The interior of the Tadich Grill is covered in brass and wood, and being primarily a sea-food restaurant, surely has a great "catch of the day". ;) Also, worth noting, it's right in the middle of the financial district.

Just to get started, here's the beginnings of my interpretation of the text, top left.
1."In seeking, thou shalt find (it)" [..] The 26th June anniversary meeting will be held [..] where the founders will be present
for a demonstration of the (17) strategy for achieving the rest of the agenda/ the means of reconciling the remainder.  The Pigs
will not be amused by the upshot/ end result and the Hirelings even less so.

text, top left - 'non uni fidet antro' - fidet should be fidit - from 'Mus non uni fidit antro' 'A mouse does not put its
trust in one hole' ie: the wise always have a back up plan/alternative routes of escape.

 Just some quick general observations. 
1.The lower right quadrant. We've seen similar biomedical clues before. This one seems to be dealing with anti-schitzophrenia
(anti-alzheimers ?) drug development / trials. 

I'm still dubious about whether any of this is useful at face value. If one was really devious, they could use chemical structures
as code keys, sort of like a Markov chain sort of dealie. 

2. Note the two quadrant keys in the upper quadrants. They are rotated 90 degrees from each other, if the fact that the translation
is a rotation is relevant.

3. In 5/1/2003, we have several forms seen in previous adds combined and expanded upon. (the cross / quandrant, the sphere). Either
they have more information to transmit, or they are burying it deeper.



Oh, also, Juls touched on this : "d'accommoder les restes" - "reconciling the remainder" or  "to adapt the remainders" -
from what I google'd up, appears to be a figure of speech in French that describes EMBALMING. That is, preparing the remains of the
deceased. They're going to give a live demonstration of how they intend to pigs and hirelings?

I tell you, sometimes scrutinizing these adds makes me feel like the narrator in Lem's "His Master's Voice", we're either ants
picking apart a dead philosopher, or only able to derive proof so abstract that it isn't recognized to be of use.




More on the overal form of the designs.

We regularly see Luther, Gutsavus Adolphus, Calvin, and Cromwell used as tags in these ads. Are they being used as level markers?
Or do they indicate some other type of catagorization?

When used in this cross motif to divide the design into quadrants, their positions often chage, but with Luther always at the top.
Is this significant?

Some earlier ads use one of the big for as a motif. Do these indicate different sub-projects?
----------------------------
2. Has anyone found a link between Koeberg and the diagram on May 1, 1992? (5/1/2003 ties Koeberg to 1/16/1991, but I don't see the
link).

in text top left - 'aeaeae artes' - Aeaeae a. 
Magic. As in aeaeae artes, the magic arts. The only all-vowel six-letter word known to the author. The derivation is from Aeaeae,
which was a surname of the legendary pig-fancier Circe and the name of a small island off the coast of Italy, said to have been her
place of abode. 

text, lower right, line headed 34 - 'The limiting factor, as always, here below (ici-bas), is original sin
(peccatum originales) which limits the stamina of the investigators to 14 hours per day (per diem) and steadily 
winnows the subjects.'

text top right - name 'Jenny Geddes' - Jenny Geddes is a famous character in Scotland from the time when Charles I
attempted to enforce the use of the English Prayer Book in Scottish churches.  She is said to have hurled her stool at
the minister in St.Giles High Kirk, Edinburgh in a protest that led to the setting up of the Scottish National Covenant. 
The Covenanters play a major role in Scottish history of the C17th, they supported the Parliamentarians in the Civil War
and were persecuted in the Covenanters Wars after the Restoration of Charles II.

text top right - 'un point d'appui' is a fulcrum
'quod avertat Deus' - 'God forbid!'


leitmotiv - 'zwischen den Zeiten' - 'between the times' 

It is also the name of a journal which served as a mouthpiece for the 'dialectic theology' movement in 1920's Germany,
with which Karl Barth was associated among others, some info here:

See above - to contextualis Jenny Geddes properly, she ought to be seen as a minor folk heroine whose action
became the catalyst which started a major protest which became a national movement of great significance to the history
of the Christian church in Scotland.  A websearch on 'Covenanters' will no doubt bring up a wealth of info, though of the
inevitable varied quality.

text top-right, final phrase 'die Zwei-Reiche-Lehre' - Luther's 'doctrine of the two kingdoms' - this is discussed
here, from which I have taken the quote below to give the gist of it:

"The perplexity which bedevils scholarly discussion of the doctrine of the two kingdoms is reflected in the fact that the
most eminent Luther scholars are unable to agree among themselves about its very name. There is good reason for this
discord among the learned, for under the rubric 'two kingdoms' there lurks not one doctrine but two. On the one hand,
Luther was concerned with the antithesis, expressed most sharply by the New Testament and St. Augustine, between the
kingdom of God and the kingdom of the devil. His first forays into theology as an Erfurt friar had caused him to become
acquainted with the ceaseless combat between those who follow Cain in adhering to the civitas terrena and living in
bondage to the finite goods of this transient life and those who follow Abel in cleaving to the imperishable Good which
will be enjoyed in the everlasting Sabbath prepared for the members of the civitas Dei. On the other hand, however,
Luther was also concerned with correctly apprehending God's present sovereignty over Christendom, the Corpus
Christianum. In this case the model of the journey of the pilgrim people of God through a hostile world which is at root
a civitas diaboli was no longer adequate. Hence, in addition to thinking in terms of the implacable enmity which obtains
between the kingdom of God and the kingdom of the devil, Luther could also explain how God exercises his sovereignty over
all men through two 'governments' represented by spiritual and secular authority respectively. His so-called doctrine
of the two kingdoms is in fact a pragmatic combination of these two conceptual pairs, the first of contrasts and the
second of correlates."  



text upper-right - 'Feather River placers' - this appears in the Nov 30th 1988 announcement associated with
coordinates 30:30.5N, 121:28.6W, Jessica gives some info there on 'placers' and the 'Feather River' in goldmining 


Also, there appears to have been an American mining company called Feather River Placers Inc. 
see here:

text upper right, & re. Rob on Afrikaans - Whitsunday is on 8th June - this would tie in with actions to be taken
before the proposed dealings with the Pigs on the Anniversary (which has previously been identified as the 26th June I
believe?).   text upper left - Trinity Sunday is on 15th June - more activities prior to the Anniversary.  A tight schedule by the
looks of it.

Here is some information about that part of Berlin, carrying the 1,9,21 series on the map below and to the left (NOT Exact I did not measure it)How 36 is related to the following I do not know. The Gemaldegalleri is below and to the left of the 21 on the map Its pictures seem to be from similar periods as the messages. Maybe it is a Berlin University prank?

http://www.smpk.de/gg/e/s.html

From Stanford students in Berlin? http://www.stadtentwicklung.berlin.de/denkmal/denkmale_in_berlin/en/wohnhaeuser/cramer.shtml

But do students stay in mid range Hotels and get others to follow on a prank for almost 20 years?

Heres a source on the national gallery and some other monuments on the map

More musical coding? Top right section begins Canon per recte en retro http://www.classicalarchives.com/bios/codm_dict/canon.html

aka Canon by augmentation has the imitating vv. in longer notes than the one that they are imitating. canon by diminution is the reverse. canon cancrizans is a type in which the imitating v. gives out the melody backwards (^Ñcancrizans^Ò from Lat. cancer = crab; but crabs move sideways). Other names for it are canon per recte et retro (or rectus et inversus) and retrograde canon.

Interesting idea on several "layers".

A single 'part' or 'voice' added to another is called 'a counterpoint' to that other, but the more common use of the word is that of the combination of simultaneous parts or vv., each of significance in itself and the whole resulting in a coherent texture.

text, upper left - formula $\omega_{p,n}=i log ~p^n$

Ok, I know very, very little physics, but I googled the formula and I found this, of which the formula appears to be a
key part, I sure can't follow it but someone else might (and hopefully give us a layman's translation) - On p-adic
Stochastic Dynamics, Supersymmetry and the Riemann Conjecture by Carlos Castro, Chaos Solitons Fractals 15 (2003) 15-24

text, upper left - Coimbra - City of Coimbra, Portugal is at 40:15N 8:27W ( degrees & minutes), also appears to be the name of the region there. Another Coimbra in Brazil at 49:55S, 57:48W. text, upper right - Walvis Bay - Walvis Bay airport, Namibia at lat/long 22.9S 14.4E text, upper right - Stellenbosch, South Africa - 33:57:48S, 18:51:53E (d,m,s); Koeberg nuclear power plant, near Capetown - run by ESKOM, generates a large percentage of South Africa's electricity and exports energy to other African nations: http://www.nucleartourist.com/world/koeberg.htm

The South African govt. intends to restructure ESKOM. Most of Eskom's activities, with the exception of power
transmission, will eventually be privatised.

The government has indicated that approximately 10 % of the company's generation capacity will be privatised by 2004. 
Also stores high level waste.  More on Koeberg:

http://www.ecology.at/nni/country.php?country=South+Africa

text, upper right - Cuzco, Bolivia 20:0S 66:50W (degrees:minutes) OR Cuzco, Peru 13:32S 72:0W;

Quillabamba, Peru 12:50S 72:50W

Quillabamba - This is the capital city of the province of La Convención an a important commercial centre for the valleys of Lares and
La Convención. The principal activities are the production of coca, coffee, cacao and fruit. The city was founded on the
25th of July 1857

"Today, Cuzco, the archeological capital of Peru and the Americas is a city open to the world, welcoming its visitors who
marvel at its unusual aspect, which integrates, in the same urban environment and with unique harmony pre-Colombian
monuments such as the Korikancha (Temple of the Sun), the Ajlla Wasi, the Amaru Cancha (fence of the serpent), the Kiswar
Kancha, etc. with gems of the "mestizaje" (mix of the Spanish and the native) such as the Cathedral, the Church and
Convent of La Merced and the Temple of San Blas."





Bob: 
Falstaff at top right has been used before, but I just noticed it's a misquote. The true quote is: "Thou knowest in the
state of innocency Adam fell, and what should poor Jack Falstaff do in the days of villainy?  Thou seest I have more flesh than
another man and therefore more frailty." (Added the last part because I thought it was funny.) Once again, we see addition,
omission or other variance from a known quote that could be used to convey information. For example, "do once only; ignore previous
instructions, etc."



Juls: 

Anniversary of the Confessio - thought I'd better point out that this was established as the 25th June not the 26th as I
said earlier.  Since much of the text in this announcement seems to concern activities to take place in the period prior to this
date that gives us the time frame into which to fit the schedule.  Whilst I was doing a Google search on the Confessio to save
searching through all the previous pages to find the above I came across this wee curiousity: 



http://www.prounione.urbe.it/dia-int/l-rc/doc/i_l-rc_luther.html


This appears to be a movement which is attempting to reconcile differences between the Catholic and Lutheran churches through
getting the Catholic church to accept the work of Luther.  The anniversary of the Confessio Augustana appears to be a big event. 
Probably irrelevant but maybe worth a wee look just for the sake of it?




Juls: 05.06.2003

text lower right, Epworth - There are a good number of Epworths, but here are two of possible relevance.  In view of the
medical style blurb accompanying this part of the text, there is the Epworth Hospital in Melbourne, Australia to consider:


http://www.epworth.org.au/

There is also an Epworth (probably the 'original' one) in North Lincolnshire, England.  The Old Rectory at Epworth was the
birthplace of John Wesley (b.1703), founder of Methodism 

3 15 36 in the top right. cuzco Quillabamba has associations with Peruvian Gold. Feather River chasers inc also has , the
feather river being in SUTTER county California.

RE :  Breitenfeld Battle at 54 in top right
Gustavus Adolphus ( the father of maoern warfare is what I knew him as before I heard of the Reformation link)
was involved in two battles there.

If Gustafus was the father of modern warfare Cromwell was the father of teh professional soldier and peoples army with his New
Model Army. Calvin or Luther I would not put in the military mould.
I note in all this clues of mavericks people like Erasamus are not mentioned. Luther did court him but he did not convert. He
remained a Catholic maverik. So why only Protestant ones? 

Again maybe I am making crucifixes out of telegraph poles but 240w (the hotel California  address) is the same longitude as
120 E (being the in the 1999 clue).
Sorry just taht someone asked. I believe one can recognise patterns that were not intended and so I will not volunteer such ideas
unless I can find some supporting evidence (I would suggest two pieces ) to match it. I suggest nobody else does either and that
such "shots in the dark" be put into a seperate dossier.

Nobody's pointed out the following passages, so I figured I'd do it :

"Jenny Geddes proceeds overland to Koeberg (1/16/91) despite the unpalatable fact that The Hirelings have already listed it as un
point d'appul."

"Mista Kurtz will deliver the completed tanka (both kami-ku and shimo-ku but separately packaged) to 240 California Street (94111)
by Ascension Day. 
 It will not be immediately available as the Pelagian devils have already listed the location -- alternatives thereto are not
available."


Somebody's compromised two of the their locations : Koeberg and the 240 California Street. Weren't these discussed here? The snotty
name calling is kind of childish, I thought we were being used as their QA department.


----------------------------------------------



Incidentally, what are people's thoughts on the relationship to the ADW ads vs the materials sent to Brian? Are these "canon"? The
ads are available to anyone with access to copies of the Wildcat, while Brian's ancillary materials are only available online, and
only what he chooses to reveal. Obviously it serves the Orphanage's purposes to give these to Brian, and they appear want to
educate him in certain matters. But they must assume that their opponents are also monitoring the site. 


Possibly we should have a separate forum for supposition and theorizing and devote maydaymystery.org to the facts we can pry loose,
as irrelevant as some may be.

Rocky & Bullwinkle are elsewhere and we were available at this hour for this computer.  It is believed to be known by Mr.
Hance.  "Rich"'s latest comment was monitored earlier in the day and was sent forward. It was found to be disturbing. We are
authorised to communicate.  The "compromised" locations did not result from this site. No one on this site has ever done us any
harm.  We do not insult our friends.  More is happening than appears on this site.  Some of what is happening is very difficult. 
The difficulties are not related to any contributor. If we met any of you we might disagree but not see you as enemies.  We have
actual enemies enough.  Contribute whatever you like.  Say what you want.  Beyond this we are not authorised to communicate.

1. Ok, I obviously put too much credence in one of my inferences. Yes, the Orphanage & co do refer to the pigs,
hirelings and Pelagians rather arrogantly and disdainfully. I take it anyone who would be so labeled is in conscious
opposition and would hence not be contributing to this board. I could still conceive that there would be people picking
at the puzzles, for various reasons, that wouldn't necessarily see eye-to-eye with the freaks.


2. There are various references to events both under Orphanage control, and not. In addition to the bits I noted above,
the "Captain Morgan" episode sticks out as a prime example. We should be able to leverage some information out of the ads
by correlating these, possibly making a timeline.

Most of my recent thoughts on this are more about the structure of the ads  rather than their contents.  Quite possibly,
the ads  are designed so that all an outsider will be able to derive from them in an education on the reformation.


But all this is meta-discussion, which I just said should be segregated from the actual clues. I think for the time
being, I will refrain from posting my inferences & theories and stick to concrete clues,  to avoid muddying the waters
too much. 
-----------------------------------


3. "Abraham was sitting at the door of his tent in the heat of the day and suddenly three men stood in front of him."

   Is from Genesis 18. Angels visit with Abraham, predict that he and Sarah will have a child within the year. Sarah
laughs because they are both old, and the Angels remind her you're talking about the Lord here, he makes things happen.
Upon leaving, the Angels tell Abraham, "Oh, remember Sodom & Gomorrah? They'll get what's coming to them soon."

name:  Juls

clue:  re. "Quaerendo invenietis" [1747] - 1st line, top left - seems to relate to bach, (note also clue by Beacon on 1st
line top-right) :

"Bach was renowned for his ability to compose (is "invent", or "devise", a more appropriate term?) these profoundly
complex canons. We have several canons by Bach indicated as simply a melody with a little mark indicated where the second
voice, or each successive voice, is supposed to start. In some of these canons, the point where the second voice is
supposed to start, or the interval at which it is supposed to enter, is not indicated -- Bach has left it as a puzzle, in
one with the words Quaerendo invenietis -- in seeking, thou shalt find (it)! The famous portrait of Bach from 1748 by
Gottlieb Elias Haussman shows him holding a piece of paper with one such canon on it."

"The Musical Offering of 1747 (BWV 1079), the famous story of whose composition forms the central thread of Douglas
Hofstadter's Gödel, Escher, Bach, features a wide variety of canons, demonstrating all of these techniques, and more,
using the famous Thema regius ("Royal Theme") submitted to Bach by the renowned King of Prussia, Frederick II (der Große)
as the leading voice (dux) of each canon."

http://www.bachfaq.org/canon.html

More on Bach and the afforementioned works:

"Musical Offering No. 8, Canon a 2 quaerendo invenietis (the "riddle" canon) by J. S. Bach"

http://www.stlcc.cc.mo.us/fp/users/jhegarty/bach.html

One possible interpretation of the Bach reference in this context that occurs to me is of having a sequence that
can be shunted into an alternative sequence should the need arise - hence 'non uni fidet antro'



Juls: 06.05.2003

lower right section, KJV Bible quote seems to be a misquote, ommitting the word yet - so far as I can discover, it
should be "But Jesus yet answered nothing; so that Pilate marvelled", this is located in Mark, 15:5.  These misquotes do
seem to relay info, the most obvious and simplistic interpretation of this one might be a warning of 'not yet', but it
would bear further study which I have not yet given it.



Beacon - 06.22.03


clue:  More on the area of Berlin in the photo


http://www.xs4all.nl/~odu/bunker.html

Here is an image of the rough location of Hitler's Bunker.

It is useful because it also shows where the underground trains are. The Berlin Wall and East/West line also
passed through the area shown in the photo on the page the Brandenberg gate (tor) is probably the most
famous East West crossing point. These are some of the U Ban (trains) that were Western but actually passed
into the East and back out again. 



Jamie: 08.06.2003

The references to May Day, Cromwell etc. all point to the general motive of The Orphanage. There is a 
definate theme to many of the quotations chosen with an extremely (NB extremely, not necessarily extreme) 
political background. May 1st has great significance in so far as 
(URL=http://www.constitution.org/eng/agreepeo.htm )"An Agreement of the Free People of England"[/URL] 
was written by Lieutenant Colonel John Lilburne, Master William Walwyn, Master Thomas Prince, and Master 
Richard Overton who were prisoners in the Tower of London at the time. All were members of "The Levellers". 
This organisation is still going today, with IMHO, their most notible activities happening in the 1960's 
as "The Diggers" in San Francisco. Please feel free to contact me for further information.



night owl : 08.28.03

the diggers reference fits the parts that seem marxist and the diggers of the 17th century were Christian
and Protestant which fits the whole series of ads.  Maybe Jamie knows.

sjwk: 09.08.2003

Contrary to the clockwise progression from box to box, the text actually seems to flow from top
left to bottom right, then probably top right and bottom left.  The text flows midsentence, plus the
numbers in the text form continuous loops around the sphere.

Top right #36: zwei-reiche-lehre - two realm teachings.  Seems to be a Lutheran idea.  In a translation
of http://www.kirchegt.de/infothek/Zwei_Reiche_Lehre.html the final paragraph reads:
"In the present discussion around the safety device of the peace the "two-realm teachings" play an
important role. Most Lutheraner considers - despite all love of peace - armies and weapons
indispensable, because evenly humans are not good. Other Christian groups represent one-sided
disarmament, force renouncement and social defense also than political objective."

So, Lutherans consider weapons indispensable?



sjwk: 10.20.2003

the letter from a recent
delivery mentions in the last paragraph that further evidence about women figuring in
the equation would be present in this ad.  The only reference I can see is to Jenny Geddes. 
Maybe a new recruit?  I don't recall seeing the name earlier, and its a bit odd that they
suddenly brought up the issue of women unasked..



Dylan 12.03.2003

I don't know if this has been mentioned before, but "Leitmotiv" is a melodic phrase that

clue:  There are many references to Hotel California, of course. I just found out there's a Hotel California in Anarctica, see
here:

"Canon per recte et retro" is a "crab-canon," used as an introduction in Godel, Escher, Bach to the idea of "Typographical
Number Theory" (Chapter 8). In this chapter, he suggests a typographical code for representing numbers and propositions. 

Next is a quote (at 1) from Henry IV, p. 1,  Act 3, scene 3 (4133? 4133 ~ }}+})!}} ?), though it seems possibly mangled, and not
sure about the underlining of "now." 

(Might it be that 4133 is somehow encoded as }}+})!}} ? If so, does that mean that 1747 encodes as }}!!}!} ? Seems doubtful, since
there would be no use in such a coding. 

Orate pro nobis (catholics?) is "pray for us."

Somebody recently wondered if they're catholics because they use a lot of Latin.  Latin used to be required in all
private schools and most public schools also taught it. These people seem to hate and despise catholics or at least the Roman
hierarchy.

Just some basic (googled) information about some of the references in this announcement. Rich already pointed out
that a series of references (lower right quadrant) seem to involve anti-psychotic drug research. Here are some specific
hints from that section:

RE: butyrophenone series
http://www.bartleby.com/61/69/B0586900.html
"Any of a group of neuroleptic drugs, such as haloperidol, administered in the treatment of acute psychotic episodes,
schizophrenia, and other psychiatric disorders."

RE: mesolimbic receptors
http://www.websters-online-dictionary.org/definition/english/Me/Mesolimbic.html
The mesolimbic region is the "Inner brain region governing emotion and drives."

RE: extrapyramidal symptoms
http://www.hubin.org/publicfamilyinfo/treatment/side_effects/side_effects_6_en.html
"EPS can cause a variety of symptoms, e.g. involuntary movements, tremors and rigidity, body restlessness, muscle
contractions and changes in breathing and heart rate."

RE: benzocyclo-alkanone
This is the best I could do -
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_uids=7914540&dopt=Abstract
"Four new 2-(2-piperidinoethyl)benzocycloalkanone derivatives, 20-23, were prepared and evaluated as potential
antipsychotic agents in receptor binding assays for dopamine (DA) and 5-HT2A receptors and in functional and behavioral
screens."
(My Google search only yielded 15 references.)

RE: direct aldol condensation
http://www.organic-chemistry.org/frames.htm?http://www.organic-chemistry.org/namedreactions/aldol-condensation.shtm

After searching Google, I second the claim that "peccatum originales" means original sin. So what might original sin mean
in this context? 
This is just speculation, but the NT section of the  Wikipedia entry on original sin
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Original_sin#Original_sin_in_The_New_Testament) talks about the "spiritual pain" original sin
"produces in the one who wishes to please God" - I can see how this might "limit the stamina of the investigators."

The globe with all the numbers reminds me of an "earth mystery" (nonsense) theory that a regular net of "power places" cover
the globe and that "earth energy streams" flow between those points. It is described in more detail at the Laura Lee website in one
of her radio programs.

Re. The Hebrew - this is from Isiah 40:22 - "It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the Earth, .." (KJV)



Brian 10.03.2005

This might not help much... but the hebrew across the arm of the cross means (something) on the circle/cycle/circuit of the
nation.

Has anyone else noticed that Cromwell and Gustavus Adolphus have switched places on the cross?




oldlib 02.20.2006

I noticed it but didn't have the ovaries to say so.  I think many of us are reaching the same conclusion about these scary
people and I wonder what they plan to do to us and with us.  Yeah, they'll probably get caught first but if they win, we die.




D. Thomasson 03.23.2006


The magic sphere in the center of the announcement has a magic constant of 378. Convert 378
hex to get 888 decimal.  The Greek gematria for the name of Jesus (IHSOUS) is 888. I-H-S-O-U-S = I
(10) + H (8) + S (200) + O (70) + U (400) + S (200) = 888.

Copy the announcement and paste it into PaintShop Pro or Adobe Photoshop.  Closely crop the Sphere,
then increase the image size to about 470x452 pixels.  Print a copy of the sphere onto a
transparency sheet (if possible), else cut out the sphere from a normal white paper copy. Overlay
the sphere on top of a printed copy of the map located in the lower left corner of the
announcement.  

We know that the next number on the map should be 36 (1-9-21-36).  The curvature of the vertical
line on the sphere for 1-9-21-36 is too great to match the numbers (1-9-21) on the map.  Therefore,
use the vertically curved line 1-5-17-29 instead.  The number 29 represents 36 since both numbers
are on the equitorial axis of the sphere, and both numbers are equidistant from number 1.

Match up 1 with 1, 5 with 9, 17 with 21, and then number 29 from the sphere will show the desired
location on the map.  The location is directly in the center of Berlin's "Das Kulturforum als
Arena."  It is near the National Gallary as previously mentioned in another post, but is actually
directly over the "Philharmonie Kommer Musiksaal".  See a map at:

ulturforum.pdf

Now, to see some remarkable historical information (in German) about Berlin's Cultural Center
(Kulturforum) go to the following URL.  If you cannot read German, just look at all the great
pictures of the various maps and buildings located in the Cultural Center.  You should be able to
pick out proper names of people and places in the text, then search the Internet or Library for
additional information about those names or places.

as far as i can tell there are 79 known "ads". if you put them in the order of this globe here on a floor or ground,
maybe looking at them all at once from above might show something you're unable to see if they are all seperate. so the first
ad would go at the top where number 1 is, and so on. just a thought but it could be worth a try.
	

hance - note that we're not sure of my set of ads is the 'complete' set - the archives for 
this newspaper aren't complete - in paper or microfiche.
