The photo:

http://www.amazon.com/o/ASIN/1595800069#_

Its from the filming of the 1959 film "The Crimson Kimono". Shot in L.A., directed by Samuel Fuller, 
who is the one wearing sunglasses.

I'm not too familiar with L.A., so I cannot help with any insight as to what the man with the 
white arrow is pointing at.



Something else that occured to me.

(bhance: the greek characters at the end - won't display here correctly)

Might refer to:

Matthew 11:10

"For this is he, of whom it is written. Behold, I send my messanger before thy face, 
which shall prepare thy way before thee."

Just a hunch.




Something doesn't add up here.

When you Google the transliteration of the greek phrase , "????F??, ???S????ST? ???? ??O?" (bhance: the characters are malformatted)
something interesting happens.

The only website that remptely matches is this:

http://www.westfriendship.com/gnt/matthew.shtml

The interesting part here is when you delete the last two parts of the HTML, the 
address is for a defunct website for western Maryland.

Also, the pages that the site link to are worth checking out.

	The picture is the cover photograph of "L. A. Noir - The city as character", a book by  Alain Silver & James Ursini
(http://www.amazon.com/L-Noir-City-Character/dp/1595800069/ref=pd_bxgy_b_img_a#reader_1595800069)

"Samuel Fuller facing camera in sunglasses directs Crimson Kimono in Downtown Los Angeles Little Tokio"
(http://dustedoff.wordpress.com/2010/12/07/the-crimson-kimono-1959/)

I think that the arrow points to "George Yoshinaga", a character played by Robert (Bob) Okazaki but not to 
George Yoshinaga, the actor who plays the character "Willy Hidaka" in this same film.

I'm going with the 'Occam's Razor' approach on the picture;  
The top of the LA City Hall is based on the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus, 
one of the seven wonders of the ancient world.  You also see this on 
various Masonic-related structures.

Ineluctable Modality of the Visible
is a quote ( if I recall from Stephen Dedalus' walk in Sandymount strand Dublin in James Joyce Ulysses.
~This and the associated emails to you suggest a mistake was made.
By the way as regards those e mails the synod of whitby if i recall was about setting the date Easter. 
maybe the reference to Manhatten project and such are references to dates?

Very interesting:

Anti-Spam here demands that I type TIME..

which is highly relevant to the clue that I am going to provide-->

you see..there are no coincidences..which ironically is the  clue I am going to send..divine comedy

"It's a poor sort of memory that only works backwards".

One of Jung's favourite quotes on synchronicity was from Through the Looking-Glass by Lewis Carroll, 
in which the White Queen says to Alice: "It's a poor sort of memory that only works backwards".

see Wikipedia - Synchronicity

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND to read with great care and step-by-step the ENTIRE Wikipedia Article on Synchronicity

We should really look for abstractions/archetypes here.. instead of getting caught up in the "Trees" .

IMHO, this mystery could be a Lethal Text memetic virus designed to destroy the mind of the perceiver 
who understands or a Type of Turing Test that is being used to identify individuals with a certain 
type of perception.

 The area that talks about congruent elixirs [p<0.01] looks like it is talking about hypothesis testing. 
	Typically used in statistics, oh science experiments. A p-value of o.o1 would either be used to reject a null 
	hypothesis or used to fail to reject( technically accept) a null hypothesis depending on what the alpha value 
	being used for the hypothesis test is. Alpha values are typically values of either 0.1, 0.05, or 0.01. 
	I hope this helps someone.

I have located the article by Woodward, Bisbee & Benett. Currently, I don't have enough time to give an in depth 
analysis of the article, so I will give you the basics. The study concerns the location of brain lesions caudally 
(toward the back of the brain) and laterally (moving dowager the outside (left and right from the middle, although 
here it may mean the left or right hemisphere) and how these lesions affect scores on specific scales on the MMPI, 
(a clinical diagnostic test) particularly on scales 2 (depression) and 8 (schizophrenia). I will post more on this 
when I am able. I hope this helps.

Early detection of isotopes over North Korea, but to be analysed.

These detections are bugging and could be due to a new breed of Weapon, due to the half life on the effects of normal
Nuclear fallout.

Some other group has copied the plans and set its target

This has effected other peoples plan in the climate issue, with seeds and pigs

Some people with certain brain conditions can work things out, if they sort of know the person
or have a good idea of what the person is about, they can work it all out, well close to it.

Different levels all over these Mayday things.. Intersting but iv,e had enough.

But final answer is to how this age of human kind will end.. multiple ways are all in play, the cleansing
of the earth is near.

The answers to the future are in the past.

Comments: The Richard Baxter referred to is probably the Puritan CHurch leader of that name.  See:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Baxter_Monument#Monuments

Scroll down to the picture of his monument.   The arm is extended with the 1st finger 
pointing in a manner very similar to the man's arm.   Coincidence?

P>.01 in statistics means that the probability of something happening is less than one thousandth.
Vis-à-vis means face to face
Judges 7:22 “When the three hundred trumpets sounded, the LORD caused the men throughout the 
camp to turn on each other with their swords. The army fled to Beth Shittah toward Zererah 
as far as the border of Abel Meholah near Tabbath.”

The part where our infamous Mistah Kurtz is mentioned popped out to me.

Apparently, the "target" (apparently targeted in 2005) has been excessively talkative or abnormally incoherent. 
Which has something to do with the chemical cyp2c19 which helps metabolize xenobiotics, or diazepam and other barbiturates.

Have the orphanage gone into kidnapping and drugging of targets? The freaks don't see malicious in that way.

Who is the target?

Why are they targeting?

Just wanted to take a stab at it.

Kitsune out.

bhance: nah, don't think so ... if they were I probably would have been grabbed long ago :/

Comments: This may not be much help but I kept looking at the Greek and roughly translated the phrase to "Adelphoi, proseuchesthe peri ximon"."

I broke down the phrase and researched them one by one. Adelphoi "identifies those who are in this spiritual relationship as 
"brothers and sisters." I can't help but notice the comma placed behind this so I keep thinking it may be some sort of salutation.

http://biblicallanguagesresearch.blogspot.com/2011/04/adelphoi.html

Proseuchesthe roughly translates to offering prayer. As someone mentioned above me, this word does find reference in several parts of Matthew and Mark.

https://www.teknia.com/greek-dictionary/proseuchomai

Peri, as far as I can tell, is simply a Greek preposition meaning "about, concerning."

http://biblehub.com/greek/4012.htm

Lastly, there was Ximon. Although preliminary searches did not turn up much, I discovered that Ximon is one variation of Simon. 
This brought to mind Simon the Zealot.

I'm not too sure what it means overall but it leads me to think that the Greek is a call to the brothers and sisters of the 
organization (or all believers) to pray around/for Simon's intercession. Just my two cents.

 The Leitmotiv: "It's a poor sort of memory that only works backwards".

It is one of C.G. Jungs's favorite quotes about the concept of synchronicity. A synchronicity is a meaningful coincidence.

The freaks often say "Ain't no co-in-see-dents".

Yesterday I was digging in some old books at home and by "coincidence" I discovered in Dante's Divine Comedy the following quote:

"The interplay of coincidence...completely before god's eye, in advance displayed."

In german: 

"Des Zufalls Wechselspiel...vollständig liegt es vor Gottes Aug' im voraus abgebildet."

The greek phrase at the end has a typo. And also is Ancient Greek.
The correct spelling is "ΑΔΕΛΦΟΙ, ΠΡΟΣΕΥΧΕΣΘΕ ΠΕΡΙ ΗΜΩΝ". I am quite sure about this cause "ΞΜΩΝ" isn't a word in Greek and also the letter Ξ is located right next to the letter Η in greek keyboard.
The phrase means "Brothers, pray for us" by the word "ΑΔΕΛΦΟΙ" has the meaning of spiritual brothers or sisters as has rightly been mentioned.
Also, I found that this phrase is from the Bible and it is a verse of a letter of Paul the Apostle to the Thessalonians (Thessaloniki is the second biggest city in Greece). The letter is about Second Advent.

Letter: https://www.orthodoxoiorizontes.gr/Kainh_Diathikh/Pros_Thessalonikeis_A'_Epistolh/Pros_Thessalonikeis_A'_Epistolh_kef.5.html

The phrase is at 5,25

Okay here's my solution to the December, 2010 ad.

************

A dictionary definition of the word leitmotiv, is ‘a melodic passage or phrase, especially in Wagnerian opera, associated with a specific character, 
situation, or element.’ In a film, it sets the tone. One example is James Bond’s iconic twangy guitar theme, and another good example is Darth Vader’s 
Imperial March.

The leitmotiv for the December 2010 ad ‘it’s a poor sort of memory that only works backwards’ references memory and whether or not its use is restricted 
to the recollection of past events. This ad itself is an example of a ‘memory working forward in time’ in the form of a dire prediction that came true. 
This is why I consider it a 'self-validating message'.

A prophet (or prophets) in the mold of Elijah, Ezekiel or the two witnesses was operating during the creation of this ad and is likely still 
operating in the other ads.

The writer (or writers) of this particular ad manifests either the spiritual gift known as the ‘word of knowledge’, or, foretelling the 
future (prophesying).

This may be what the ad refers to as a ‘furor scribendi’ which translates as ‘mania for writing’. Additionally, references to specific parts of the 
brain’s anatomy may mean that the ad creators believe they have something to do with this capability.
Here’s why I believe all this is true: Consider the name of the film featured in this ad: Crimson Kimono. A kimono is a Japanese word for a robe, 
and one of the characters in the film is of Japanese descent.

Consider again the initials of the title – CK for the Crimson Kimono, which are the 3rd and 11th letters of the alphabet. The ad here was the 
MDM ad directly preceding the 3/11/11 tsunami and the subsequent nuclear disaster at Fukushima. I assert that this ad was the result of the
 writer’s memory ‘working forward’, or ‘prophesying’ the pending massive earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear disaster through use of the Japanese 
 theme and the CK-3/11 gematria associations.
 
I also can’t help but recall the MDM reference to several Jesuits who were present in Japan during the previous Japanese nuclear disaster in WWII. 
So, there you have it. The December 2010 ad is a prophetic message warning us about one of the biggest disasters in human history, and the 
crafter(s) of the message is a prophet(s).

CK -> 3/11 -> 3/11 Japanese Tsunami

Thank you,
Erik

PS- I also believe I may have been destined to make this connection and here’s why. In another example of synchronicity regarding the letters 
CK and the year of this ad, 2010.

As you know, my name is Erik, which uses the unusual spelling with a K. I was born in 1967.

Unbeknownst to me, until I learned of his existence in the summer of 2010 (2010 again, same as the ad). I had been admitted to the hospital 
due to a burst appendix, which was a near-death experience that the surgeon told me was touch and go. When I awoke, I learned that I have an 
older half-brother who was given up for adoption in 1966. My mother was not able to keep him, and working with a Catholic adoption agency, 
she gave him up (as a little orphan child). Note she had named him ‘Eric’, with a C.

She named me ‘Erik’, with a K, as her way of remembering the boy she gave up for adoption but ensuring we were also distinct and unique 
from each other. She always regretted giving him up and kept it secret until my brush with death sort of forced their hand. 
So here we have a CK reference.

Eric (his new name from the adopting parents is David) found our mother on Facebook after his original Alabama birth certificate 
was made available to him in 2010. Though he grew up in Connecticut, it also turned out that he and my mother knew the same person on Facebook.

PSPS - In another example of synchronicity, Eric’s (David) job is ‘Manager of Nuclear Medicine, PET/CT and Ultrasound at Greenwich
 Hospital Yale New Haven Health’.

All associated assertions can be proven and I will happily supply witnesses and/or documentation if they are so required.
