"When Herod heard john..."

It says: ...the softer you go/travel, the longer you will be...
Kinda like an adaption of Taft's 'Speak softly but carry a big stick'.

JPEPPER:
Sepulveda is a relatively major road in LA, but i dont think it runs in the 90034 zip code. name=Jeremy clue=Hebrew: and i destroyed their kingdoms. unknown word, then the two letter word is either please or raw/rare. another possibility is it is a phonetic name. the first word looks like jeremiah in hebrew, but missing one letter. name=jeremy

again NIKA which could be the greek for "winning/win!".

clue=A quick note on numbers, from the writing, 12 regular 5-gons, 20 regular triangles, 30 rectangles.  5*12 + 20*3 = 30 *4

Breitenfeld, Battle of 

(Sept. 17, 1631), the first major Protestant victory of the Thirty Years' War, in which 
the army of the Roman Catholic Habsburg emperor Ferdinand II and the Catholic League, 
under Johan Isaclaes, Graf von Tilly, was destroyed by the Swedish-Saxon army under 
King Gustav II Adolf of Sweden. The battle marked the emergence of Sweden as a great 
power and the triumph of the new Swedish flexible linear tactics over the old massive 
infantry formations that had long dominated European warfare.

In early September Tilly, the imperial commander, invaded Saxony and, after seizing 
Leipzig on September 15, arrayed his army in the suburb of Breitenfeld to meet the
Swedish-Saxon advance. The Saxons, on the Swedish left, were routed by Tilly's 
initial attack. However, Tilly's attempt to turn this flank was repulsed when 
the commander of the Swedish left, Gustav Karlsson Horn, shifted troops to 
form a new front to his flank in the heat of battle--the first time this was 
done in modern warfare. Meanwhile the Swedish right withstood seven hours of 
imperial cavalry charges. Gustav Adolf then personally led a furious counterattack 
around Tilly's left, captured the Saxon guns lost earlier, as well as the imperial
artillery, and mowed down the massive imperial infantry squares. The imperial army 
broke and fled, with losses of 12,000 men. Tilly, seriously wounded, escaped 
with only a few thousand men. Gustav entered Leipzig the next day.

Underneath the "Admit One" ticket:

The quieter you drive,

Recent Russian proverb, it simply means don't go so fast
An English equivalent would be "Stop and smell the roses"

clue:  Sutter's surprise is mentioned on several pages. If you read 
Sutter's account of being told about the discovery of gold at his mill, he 
makes a big deal out of how surprised he was. Also, it contains two 
sentences that, given the current context, are somewhat remarkable:

When he had recovered himself a little, he told me that, however great my
surprise might be at his unexpected reappearance, it would be much greater 
when I heard the intelligence he had come to bring me. 'Intelligence,' he 
added, 'which if properly profited by, would put both of us in possession 
of unheard-of-wealth - millions and millions of dollars, in fact.'

clue:  This can only be a guess but the most likely reason for the quotation is "unexpected reappearnce".  It is congruent 
with surprise and would also fit with deliveries and unexpected logistics.  Reading carefully in the text of the articles 
seems to make clear that their thing is ongoing and subject to change.  Things get sent and delivered and people convene and 
then disperse. The same could be equally true of information location and retrieval.

clue:  This is about as far as my physics knowledge goes but I remember from a lecture way back when, that Bohr was the 
advocate of _quantum mechanics_ sometimes called _statistical mechanics._  About all I could understand about it was that you 
need some really heavy math _and_ that it is strongly counter-intuitive, which really angered Einstein.  The freaky parts deal 
with existing and not existing, all at the same time and weird stuff about non-local cause and effect.  If somebody could 
figure that last one out, they'd be in a position to do what I'd rather not think about.

clue:  Find someone who knows this area better than I do but "communicatio idiomatum" is from Lutheran theology and the strict 
form of it at that.  As I understand it, it refers to the Real Presence in the sacrament, the communication of attributes, 
meaning Christ's merits given for and to the believers.  The key words are said to be "in, with and under" meaning that Christ 
Himself is present even though the human eye or an electron microscope and so on could see only bread and wine.  The 
invisibility is the point, you either know it's true or you don't.  (It was explained to me that way and I think it fits, 
especially in regard to the nuclear references because they are invariably quantum physics, which is almost completely 
counter-intuitive.)  Notice that there are direct nuclear references in this one--the reference to Bohr and the Copenhagen 
School (of quantum physics) tie directly into this analysis.  I can't remember the exact date but one of the early references 
to the Wedding in Cana (water into wine--counter-intuitive, freaky as quantum physics) has a nuclear device pictured with it.

clue:  Anton is of course correct about Thingvellir; my first sources weren't as good as I had initially suspected.  In any 
case, I believe the star may be marking the glacier of Vatnajökull where a volcanic eruption took place Dec. 18-28, 1998.  
However, since this ad is from 1992, it could imply some different aspect.  I'll look into it...

clue:  Somebody else can give you the date and place but I'm pretty sure that the Bohr quote is from one of the
conferences where he and Einstein tangled.  We know now that Bohr was correct (about quantum mechanics being accurate)
but the theory still seems crazy.  Whatever the bunch is that does these they have a sense of irony.

clue:  Actually, the Bohr quote was not directed at Einstein, but at Wolfgang Pauli during a lecture he was giving on unified 
field theory.  The entire quote is, "Mr. Pauli, we in the back are all convinced that your theory is crazy. But what divides 
us is whether your theory is crazy enough!" 

clue:  How can a cube have 3^7 (2187) corners? Or 2^11 (2048) edges? Hmmm.

How about if you took a cube and subdivided it into  smaller  cubes? And you then devised  a limited way for the 
smaller
cubes to rotate around central axes? And how about if your name was Rubik, and you decided to turn your device into 
a
puzzle.

The numbers above describe the number of possible positions the corners and edges of a Rubik's cube can occupy.
Apparently, some people find programming solutions to Rubik's cube diverting, and these numbers turn up repeatedly 
on
their pages, see here:

On IC XC NIKA: From a web page: "NIKA - This is the Greek word for "victor" and is usually combined with the
abbreviations IC XC, which form the Greek abbreviation for "Jesus Christ."

The equation, H(x,y) = (x^2 - ay + c,x) on the photo of the boats (I wonder if that's San Francisco) is what's 
called
the Henon logistic equation, used in generating fractals. A picture of the fractal is here:

http://www.erc.msstate.edu/~winton/

more info on Henon is available in numerous places.

Regarding the Mount Tamalpais transmitter, it appears to me it's mainly used to guide ferries in the San Francisco 
area.
I don't know anything about SF ferries, but could their routes constitute a grid?

clue:  This is definitely worth following up which I guess is why the webmaster wanted the date of the correspondence.  It 
is listed as 29 July 2000 but when you open that I think the top of the column says 15 July.  Either way it is July 2000 
in the "recent developments" section on the homepage.  Look at letter 7 as it has a map of SF and it clearly shows ferry 
lanes. Something else that I should have seen before is the reference to what hadn't even been published yet, the "Master 
we have toiled all the night" and so on.  So again this all fits together but we need a more complex and probably layered 
way to analyze the data.  My guess is that is why they are so bold in the publication of these, just stick it out in front 
of people. That's safe for them because not only is it in an obscure publication in a relatively obscure place but it also 
looks crazy.  Some of us have gotten beyond those barriers but are up against what is probably their main investment, the 
complexity.  I don't know how to analyze what obviously fits together but maybe one of you computer people can suggest a 
way.  (All of that deals with the point about SF ferries.  Maybe that guy can think of an approach but his point about the 
ferries does fit because they had set it up over a year before it was published in an explicit form, at least as far as 
the bible quotation about "toiled all the night".)

Another thought for what its worth, couldn't that strange map on the lest hand side of this page with the Russian at the
top, track ferry lanes?  The point is that if somebody is tracking transponders coming off ferries then they could also 
key them into the dates on the map.

IC XC  NIKA is Greek for "Jesus Christ Conquers".  What's interesting is the way it is laid out, with the cross and start. 
It looks very much like  a Sfrayitha, a religious seal stamped into bread that is prepared for communion (prosforo) in the Eastern
Orthodox Church.  

Don't know if someone has sent it in already.

1) If greenwich is 0, what is 240?
Since longitude from Greenwich extends in both directions, you have 1 - 180 degrees east and 1-180 degrees west. 
If you went 240 degrees in either direction you would be coming back around again - depending on which direction
you went in you could be at either 120 degrees east or west. 120 degrees west (240 degrees east) would place you on
the western side of the US or Canada. Going the other way, you could be in Russia/China Indonesia/Australia.  Since
longitude can also be expressed as a positive or negative value - positive to the east, the 240 degrees in question
is probably the line running through the US.

NODC (featured thrice) in the circles with the one two and four star clues is a naval navagational code. http://ingrid.ldeo.columbia.edu/SOURCES/.NOAA/.NODC/.WOA98/

sjwk: 09.10.03

Probably not even barking at a tree, let alone the wrong one, but the ticket on this page matches one on Feb 22nd 88
but with a different ticket number.  Under the previous one was a reference showing the ticket number converted to octal.  In
case that was an instruction for this one, I converted it to octal too. 2503522 = 11431542 (oct).  Meaningless to me, but
does it mean anything to anyone else?
I also converted it to hex out of curiosity - again nothing but it did become a palindromic number 0x263362

Ah, I knew I'd seen another one. There's also another ticket here - this one numbered 2503520 (or 11431540 in Octal). Again don't know if that's relevant, but just linking the different documents together. I'm guessing that the number being different may mean something - if it was the ticket itself that was relevant then they'd probably have used the same picture of the same ticket - assuming that these days the ads are put together on computer rather than on paper...

The Russian on the map thing below the admit one ticket means the following:
"Work slower to get further (get more done".  "Or if you work slower you will get further".

It is also the actual name of a game in which a group of people play.  It is the same thing as "Red Light Green Light"
in America.  A main person stands facing away from the group, the group comes closer to him til he turns around and
they have to freeze... if they move they are disqualified...

Hope this helps, email if anything doesn't make sense or for more info...

"A humble scene in a backwards place..." From "The one" by Patrick Kavanagh, which you've referenced on this page already.

Here's the full poem:

	The One 
	
	GREEN, blue, yellow and red'
	God is down in the swamps and marshes
	Sensational as April and almost incredible the flowering of our catharsis.
	A humble scene in a backward place
	Where no one important ever looked
	The raving flowers looked up in the face
	Of the One and the Endless, the Mind that has baulked
	The profoundest of mortals. A primrose, a violet,
	A violent wild iris' but mostly anonymous performers
	Yet an important occasion as the Muse at her toilet Prepared to inform the local farmers
	That beautiful, beautiful, beautiful God
	Was breathing His love by a cut-away bog.

Patrick Kavanagh

His name is spelled "Kavanaugh" in the announcement.

clue:  may 1 ish 99
rainbow is the company that makes wonder bread, i think.  and as there is a christian connection here, might it refer to bread for
use in communion?  it seems that bread and wine are bing brought to meetings often, might they not take communion together? 
probably not, its probably an allegory for something else, but hey.  also, we have seen the 6 box cross often, and i noticed that
the names are always the same, and more importantly, in the same place.  on a die, which is a cube (which you fold the 6 box shape
into) number on opposite sides equal 7.  so perhaps in some manner, cromwell + adolphus = luther + calvin = the other two boxes
(which change from figure to figure.)  also, miners needle isnt nearly as tied to the gold mine as weavers.  the belief is that the
lost dutchman gold mine lies within a 5 mile circle, weavers needle being at its center.  miners needle is tied more to a couple of
lost caravans.  the two needles are near each other however.

as to the naval codes, there is a picture with three boats near the bottom.  any chance those three might be the three numbered? 
and if so, you could probably back track them to find when all three were in the same port at once, and that will tell you the
location of the picture.

Just a few wee bits & pieces..
The Yeats Quote from "Land of Heart's Desire" - Yeats's own 'land of heart's desire' was Sligo, esp. Inisfree.
Kavanagh on the other hand - Kavanagh's inspiration was drawn from his home area of Inniskeen, Co. Monaghan.
If the song at the bottom is indeed 'Raglan Road' as Nicodemus suggests, it may be worth noting that Kavanagh also wrote something
called 'Raglan Road.'  Even so, the Raglan Road continues the Irish theme.
Also - as someone also already noted, Kavanagh's name has acquired a 'U' here to become Kavanaugh - I don't believe it to be a
coincidence that the quote is on a picture of a 'Rainbo' bread store - that is 'Rainbo' without a 'W.'
A link between Kavanagh and the Orwell quote - Kavanagh worked as a journalist in Dublin, but did not fare well because he had too
much of a liking for telling the truth.  I should say that the quote seems only to be *attributed to* Orwell - it does not, AFAIK,
appear in any of his books, although many people assume that it is from '1984'.
Layer 1 of this delivery: 
http://www.maydaymystery.org/mayday/texts/box022300.html
appears to contain some items directly related to this page including some of the photgraphs and a couple of Irish coins - I'm
dropping this in here especially because the pictures can be seen much more clearly there.


Kavanagh's 'Raglan Road' - the words can be found here: 
http://www.cs.rice.edu/~ssiyer/minstrels/poems/971.html

As for Raglan itself, it is in Monmouthshire, Wales - there's a rather splendid castle there.

I expect that 'generate the summer tour' sets the general location for the summer meeting.  Having done that, then 'set the focal
aperture as per..' could be simply saying something like 'figure out the actual venue from..' So for example, here we *might* just
be looking for a venue with the name 'Raglan' in it in the appropriate location.




I am sure that you'll have already thought about this Brian but I wanted to check it out. :)  See here where it says on this
announcement "Significantly, this may be the last year that room reservations.. as *field testing* indicates that Gustaf Karlsson
Horn .. could receive reinforcements *via the web*... etc.  Now, I gather from what I can see on this website that you first
started putting this stuff on the web sometime in 1997, then in 1998 the first communications started to come from them and so on -
this would be the 'field testing' aye? And then, this announcement comes Mayday 1999. So, between all those packages and
communications and the fact that you're putting all the announcements up here - then it would be reasonable to conclude from the
above that this website itself is being used by them to convey info for their own purposes.  Would you agree with that possibility?
Because if so, it could have some bearing on how we ought to be viewing the additional material from the deliveries etc.

The background to this page appears to be a Smith chart, like the one that was sent here:
http://www.maydaymystery.org/mayday/offsite/letter011502/env002page003.jpg
 which deals with characteristics of a *line of transmission* (re. clue by Bob on that page).
Within the same envelope, #2 in this package:
http://www.maydaymystery.org/mayday/texts/letter011502.html
were several items relating to Jules Verne's 'Journey to the Centre of the Earth' (pages 1 & 2) - now, these may, for one, be
indicating the field of celestial navigation in which calculations refer to the "geocentric altitude of a body, the altitude
measured by a fictitious observer being on the plane of the celestial horizon and at the centre of the Earth which coincides with
the centre of the celestial sphere." - note sphere diagram lower centre of the announcement, next to the pic of the three *boats*. 
Page 4 in the same envelope is as yet unidentified, however - sailing and celestial navigation are clearly important to unravelling
the announcements, and well, I'll know more when I know more. ;)

Okay, I'm hoping maybe someone with some actual knowhow on this can jump in here and correct me if I'm wrong on this. What I
see in the background on this announcement is some kind of complex Smith chart that I would guess depicts two sources of
transmission coming from opposite directions. So, in various places we'd expect there to be areas of interference where the two
cancel eachother out - which in terms of radio waves would be areas of silence or near-silence. This may be what the Faure quote is
intended to point out - "Silences are also texts" as in areas of silence have meaning - in this case, they would signify
interference and therefore the presence of other transmissions.  Possibly the areas of silence could convey more detailed
information to those on the inside - maybe the areas of silence could be plotted and the location of the source of interference
tracked down. At least, I reckon that the message conveyed here goes something along those lines though it could be intended as an
analogy rather than literally. 

Following JPepper's clue, I tracked down the Hebrew to Jeremiah 51:20.  The first line of Hebrew here is the
last part of that verse "And with you I destroy kingdoms." (New American Standard Version).  The second line of Hebrew
would seem to be "Jeremiah 51--" - so the two dashes are where the verse number (20) should be.
If folk want to check it, the Hebrew text can be compared with the English version here:
http://unbound.biola.edu/
Given the apparent significance of errors / ommissions elsewhere, the number - 20 - may be worth further consideration
on this page.

Before applying layers of paint on a canvas, a true artist will first sketch out a basic image, or draw proportional guidelines onto the canvas. After paint is applied and dried, the artist may change his/her mind and overlay the painted canvas with a new layer of paint reflecting a slightly different version of the original sketch. Normally, the artist will try to make necessary changes to the painting before the paint dries. This process of repainting the canvas can happen a dozen or more times. When older paintings need restored, artists touch up the paintings with new paint. However, sometimes these restoration artists add additional images to the canvas that were never intended to be there by the original artist. Needless to say, the original sketch on the canvas may change dramatically, sometimes so much so that the final outcome is nothing like the original.

The "ticket" to finding the original message of this announcement can only be done by stripping away the various layers of paint. There are plenty of clues as to what the message might be, such as "communicatio idiomatum."

The following info comes from http://www.answers.com/topic/communicatio-idiomatum

In Christian theology, communicatio idiomatum is a term from the theology of the Incarnation, attempting to define the relationship between two natures in one person. The theory is that the properties of the Divine Word can be ascribed to the man Jesus, and that the properties of the man Jesus Christ can be predicated of the Divine Word - a "Communication of Idioms" or mutual interchange of attributes.

I really like the previous post by Cynic2 on 09.20.01:

The key words are said to be "in, with and under" meaning that Christ Himself is present even though the human eye or an electron microscope and so on could see only bread and wine. The invisibility is the point, you either know it's true or you don't.

In the post on 07.09.2004, Erik graciously shares Patrick Kavanagh's poem: "The One." Reminds me of the Ticket = "Admit One." Part of a verse in the poem provides a clue to solving the puzzle: "A humble scene in a backyard place where no one important ever looked."

Sjwk (02.10.03) points out that converting the Ticket number 2053522 to octal equals 11431542. Sjwk has stripped away the top layer of paint on the canvas, but there are additional layers that must be removed to reveal the hidden image (the true treasure). This treasure is the underlying theme, or key, to understanding all of the Mayday announcements.

We can look at 11431542 as one number, or better yet, divide it into two separate numbers as 1143 and 1542. Before I get started in explaining what these numbers represent, I would first like to mention that 1542 octal equals 866 decimal. Reverse 866 to get 668, a key number used throughout the ADW announcements.

If you have read some of my previous posts on the Mayday Mystery website, you might have noticed that I used gematria (Hebrew) or isopsephia (Greek) to convert text to numerical equivalents. Now we have an opportunity to figure out what the numbers 1143 and 1542 equal in textual format. A third way of looking at text/number relationships is to use the Roman numerology method. This method (around 2000 years old) has been incorporated by the Order of Nazorean Essenes. I used their gematria calculator.

If you had not realized it after reading all the posts for this announcement, Jesus Christ is the key. IC XC (IHSOUS XPISTOS) or YESOUS CHRISTOS or Jesus Christ. He is the Incarnation, the "Communicatio Idiomatum." The numerological value of the combined letters in Jesus Christ, according to Roman numerology used by the Order of Nazorean Essenes, is 1542.

J (10) + e (5) + s (300) + u (6) + s (300) + C (3) + h (8) + r (200) + i (10) + s (300) + t (400) = 1542 decimal

In our computerized world today, we use another method of equating letters to numbers, or numbers to letters. We use ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange).

J (74) + e (101) + s (115) + u (117) + s (115) + C (67) + h (104) + r (114) + i (105) + s (115 ) + t (116) = 1143 decimal

Using the gematria calculator, I entered the following words: God (77) and Revelation (777). Have fun playing with the calculator. Many of the numbers in the ADW announcements can be found by using this calculator. Enter Hebrew, Greek, Latin, or English words or phrases into the calculator to see what numbers are generated. In some cases, you might need to first translate a text passage from one language to the next, then put the letters into the calculator to get number results.

You can also go to http://www.biblewheel.com to get additional gematria information about various numbers.

Check out 1143 in the gematria references at www.biblewheel.com.

The overall numerical theme of this announcement is based on the number 12 (120, 12000, 240)

Juls (05.10.2005) points out that the Hebrew text is found in Jeremiah 51:20. As with all ADW announcements that reference chapter and verse numbers for various texts, these numbers can be converted to one number, or manipulated to make other numbers. Thus, 51:20 could be 5120 decimal.

Convert 5120 decimal to octal to get 12000, which is also the same number of Imperial Army men that died at the Battle of Breitenfeld.

The St. Mark quote, 6:20, could be converted to 6*20 = 120. 120 is also the degrees running east or west as pointed out by Juls (04.18.2003). Even the 12 5-gon (12*5=60) + 20 equalateral triangles (20*3=60) = 30 rectangles (30*4=120). See also http://www.borderschess.org/668.htm for additional information about the factorial of 120 (120!).

I agree with Juls on her post of 04.18.2005:

Sailing and celestial navigation are clearly important to unravelling the announcements.

To help everyone interested in learning about sailing, celestial navigation, or other areas of Maritime travel, mathematics, terminology, and what not, I suggest you read the Bowditch. Salem native Nathanial Bowditch, noted mathematician and astronomer, found 8000 errors in the British Navigation Tables, wrote "The New American Practical Navigator", which became the seamen's bible and called the "bowditch."

If the above link becomes a dead link for whatever reason, simply search the Web for Bowditch, or The American Practical Navigator.

Ticket 2503522 decimal = 11431542 octal as mentioned in earlier posts. I stripped away the second layer of paint from the canvas to show that 1143 and 1542 both equate to Jesus Christ by using computer ASCII and Roman numerology. Through gematria, 1143 is also known as The Glory of God or The Glory of the Lord.

Removing a third layer of paint from the canvas reveals some astonishing hidden treasures.

Convert 1143 to 11:43.

John 11:43 = "And when he [Jesus] thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth."

View the commentary about this verse at:

www.biblegateway.com. Notice "the glory of God" in the commentary.

Read all of John chapter 11 to learn about the death and resurrection of Lazarus.

Convert 1542 to 15:42.

1 Corinthians 15:42 = "So also [is] the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:"

Read all of 1 Corinthians chapter 15 to learn about the death and resurrection of Jesus.

After reading the above chapter, reread 1 Corinthians 15:54-57 again:

"... , Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where [is] thy sting? O grave, where [is] thy victory? The sting of death [is] sin; and the strength of sin [is] the law. But thanks [be] to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ."

Go to http://www.blueletterbible.org and select the letter K button to the left of 1Cr 15:42 to read all of the Treasury of Scripture Knowledge pertaining to this verse.

Notice in the announcement at the center of the cross of six squares states "IC XC NIKA." This means "Jesus Christ is victorious" (over death and sin).

See more at http://www.churchofthenativity.net.

We can now remove a fourth, and possibly final, layer of paint from the canvas of the ticket to reveal the actual hidden treasure: the orignal message of this May Day announcement (and others) put forth by The Orphanage.

Make 1542 an octal number then convert it to decimal to get 866. Reverse 866 to get 668, a key number used throughout the ADW announcements.

By applying the same techniques as above of converting the number to Biblical chapter and verse, we end up with two very powerful passages.

Convert 668 to 6:68:

John 6:68 = "Then Simon Peter answered him [Jesus], Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life."

Jesus was speaking to his twelve desciples when Simon Peter made the above reply. Notice the number twelve is a key number in this ADW announcement, much as it is the key number in many other ADW announcements. Also, remember that Jesus Christ is the Divine Word (John 1:1) and his words reveal Eternal Life.

Be sure to read all of the Treasury of Scripture Knowledge pertaining to this verse at: http://www.blueletterbible.org.

Read all of John chapter 6 to learn about the feeding of the 5000, the sharing of physical bread to feed their natural hunger, and finally the sharing of spiritual bread (the Divine Word) from Jesus (the bread of life) to feed their spiritual hunger.

John 6:35 = "And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst."

Remember the picture of the Rainbo Bread Company at the top left portion of this annoucement?

The hymn, "I Need Thee, Precious Jesus," relates directly to John 6:68. Notice one of the verses in the hymn:

I need Thee, precious Jesus, And hope to see Thee soon, Encircled with the rainbow And seated on Thy throne.

Now convert 668 to 66:8:

Isaiah 66:8 = "Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? [or] shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children."

Read all of Isaiah chapter 66 to learn more about the Glory of the Lord. Go to http://www.blueletterbible.org and read all of the Treasury of Scripture Knowledge pertaining to Isaiah 66:8.

Another excellent review of Isaiah 66:8 can be found in Spurgeon's text: "Travailing for Souls" at http://www.biblebb.com. Please read the entire text.

111 N. Hill St 90012 is also the address of LA County Child Custody Services. Could this be a very subtle reference to
The Orphanage?

There is a photo of John D Rockafeller, look into David Rockafeller,

Russian "tishe yedesh, dalshe budesh" is more similar to English "More haste, less speed", 
"More haste, more waste" or "Make haste slowly"	
	

	 About the Bugatti, it looks like the radiator cap is an elephant. So, with Hannibal, Karthoum, Mister Kurz and Bugatti, may be "elephant" is a clue.
For example, "during the Chernobyl disaster, the molten mass of reactor core dripped under the reactor vessel and now is solidified in forms of stalactites, 
etc., the best known formation is the "Elephant's Foot," located under the bottom of the reactor."

I've been looking thru the deliveries for a couple of weeks. 
This is the first time I've noticed one of the deliveries showing up in the Ads.
Juls already made the connection to the Feb 23 2000 delivery, I thought I would expand on the connection:

the 'Pile of leaves' photo: it shows up here:
http://www.maydaymystery.org/mayday/offsite/grail_2_23_00/box/box_contents_4.jpg

In the color photo it looks like copper shavings in front of a weird 
coin propped up on two cartridges, what look like a .22 magnum and either a .357 magnum or .38 special.

The weird coin and cartridges show up again a little later in a photo, sans 
shavings and in different configuration, here:
http://www.maydaymystery.org/mayday/offsite/letters032100/letter01/photo.jpg

And the actual weird coin, was sent earlier:

The 3 greek words in the center EΞAΓOPAZOMENOI TON KAIPON seem to come from a longer sentence which reads:
EΞAΓOPAZOMENOI TON KAIPON OTI AI HMEPAI ΠONHPAI EIΣI. and that can be translated to: "Redeeming the time because the days are evil."

Has anyone ever thought some of this sounds like the chronovisor? The chronovisor was allegedly a functional time viewer described by Father François Brune in his 2002 book Le nouveau mystère du Vatican ("The Vatican’s New Mystery"). Brune is the author of several books on the paranormal and religion.

In the book, Brune relates that the chronovisor was built by Pellegrino Ernetti (1925–1994), an Italian priest and scientist.[1] Although Ernetti was a real person, the existence or functionality of the chronovisor has never been confirmed; its alleged capabilities are strongly reminiscent of the fictional time viewer which features in T. L. Sherred's 1947 science fiction novella, E for Effort.[2]

Background
In the early 1960s, Ernetti began to study the writings of François Brune, himself a Roman Catholic priest and author. Ernetti allegedly ended up helping Brune construct the machine as members of a team which included twelve world-famous scientists. He identified two of them as Enrico Fermi and Wernher von Braun. The chronovisor was described as a large cabinet with a cathode ray tube for viewing the received events and a series of buttons, levers, and other controls for selecting the time and the location to be viewed. It could also locate and track specific individuals. According to its inventor, it worked by receiving, decoding and reproducing the electromagnetic radiation left behind from past events. It could also pick up the audio component or sound waves emitted by these same events.

Ernetti lacked hard evidence for these claims. He said that he had observed, among other historical events, Christ's crucifixion and photographed it as well. A potential copy of this image appeared in the 2 May 1972 issue of La Domenica del Corriere, an Italian weekly news magazine. A near-identical (mirror-image) photograph, however, of a wood carving by the sculptor Lorenzo Coullaut Valera turned up and succeeded in casting doubt upon Ernetti's statement.

Using the chronovisor, Ernetti said that he had witnessed, among other scenes, a performance in Rome in 169 BC of the lost tragedy, Thyestes, by the father of Latin poetry, Quintus Ennius. Dr. Katherine Eldred of Princeton University is the author of an English rendition of the text which is included as an appendix to the U.S. printing of Peter Krassa's book on the Chronovisor. Eldred believes that Ernetti actually wrote the supposedly ancient play himself. As provided by an anonymous relative of Father Ernetti, there was a deathbed confession, included in the U.S. edition of the play, that Ernetti had written the text of the play himself and that the "photo" of Christ was indeed a "lie". According to the same "source", however, Ernetti also affirmed that the machine was genuinely functional.

Brune, however, does not believe Ernetti's "confession" and is convinced that the authorities had coerced Ernetti into making a false confession.

The alleged existence of the chronovisor has fueled a whole series of conspiracy theories,[who?] such as that the device was seized and is actually used by the Vatican or by those who secretly control governments and their economies all around the world. maybe this group are the pigs?
