Hi 
Ta for the compliment but you should see some of the other stuff I've sent in, talk about dumb... 
Anyhow, I don't know if you picked up on their reply to that post - they admitted that it could look like there were occult or "Hermetic" connections but that it wasn't the case:
"not one of us has any
occult connections or interests. There is definitely no connection to what is sometimes styled the hermetic tradition...
...This final section is rather surprising at least to the two of us: The Orphanage agrees with Juls that even a close reading of your
excellent site would incline an intelligent reader to believe there were hermetic connections."
http://www.maydaymystery.org/mayday/texts/freaks148.html
I wanted to go through and check out the stuff they say about themselves but I've not really been able to look at the site since that last announcement was posted, had a lot of heavy real life stuff to deal with. I'll try and get it done and post up a wee summary. I've not read through them in a while but I seem to remember that there's some interesting stuff in the earliest emails that they sent, right down at the bottom of the 'recent developments' page.

| Oops, I should have remembered that! I recalled the freaks' message as soon as I read your post. And unfortunately this is not the first time I've gone in circles after having forgotten some of what they've said about themselves. So they're working in silence but it's not "hermetic" - what comes to my mind covert activity facilitated by coded messages. And that's always been the obvious interpretation of the May Day announcements. |

Are any of you still following this?
Brian just posted the 12/7/2005 announcement.
Strangely, it's not the usual full-page (?) year-end extravaganza.
The Hanjin Shanghai is an actual ship with call sign 3FGI5. And apparently, you can look up tracking history data on the web. Although there is a gap in the data that would cover 9/11/2005.
Google maps tells us that 37.5883N 122.25W is near a tower near the rt 92 bridge across the back bay of San Francisco.
It also tells us that 42 31.4N 70 56.2W is some sort of industrial park outside of Boston.
(Note the inconsistant lat / long formats... Does anyone really need six decimal places of precision?) |

A shot in the dark...
Six decimal places of precision might indicate something military. All I can think of is how the military GPS is significantly more accurate than the civilian version. I'm not saying that this has to do with the military, just that it might point to something vaguely related.
EDIT: Having just read the newest message, "Levees" and "Category 5 assault" just make me think of the hurricanes and the failed levees. Just a thought. |

Since they've been drawing discussion on Bryan's website, they've occasionally incorporated things the posters have speculated about & recent events into their messages. I assume that they're mixing in a few red herrings, like the "the Oath Giver" reference.
Note that in the last few major announcements (Dec / May) they've abandonded the full-page (quarter-page?) puzzle format that they had been employing.
The newspaper article that attempted to place this all at the feet of one person really seemed to kill interest in this on the FTMB. |

April 4, 1988 - "Capt. Morgan stopped in Augsburg (June 25, 1530) and cabled the Finland Station.'
This is a line worthy of James Joyce and the first time I've ever seen New York State Freemasonry of the 1830s, Martin Luther, the electric telegraph (not invented until 1844) and Vladimir Lenin alluded to in a single 13-word sentence. |

That seems to coincide with the smiley guy's hair loss - from eight last May to just four in December. In the latest one he's not even smiling. Does that mean we have to refer to him as expressionless guy now?
Another recent trend is that while Bryan still gets letters and packages, it seems like he doesn't get fancy coins or other items of worth like he used to. |

I guess this message sort of explains it.

They've been penetrated at the Third Level. The most obvious explanation is that the ad is smaller this year because they decided to leave out the Third Level stuff. |

I'm back... not that I've actually been anywhere - I just gave up coming here after the hassle of the changing usernames...
Still tearing my hair out over on the mayday page with no luck. I feel like I'm skittering on the edge of something that I just can't quite grasp.

Maybe because he's busy with other things and the site no longer gets updated for weeks - maybe now that he's not able to devote as much effort into unravelling it, they're not rewarding him as much? Or maybe they're finally running out of cash after funding this for so long.
I still can't understand why he was being rewarded in that way anyway - for publicly trying to unravel their messages of which they seem fairly protective. And Bryan hasn't actually visibly done much for a while towards unravelling things himself, just collating the thoughts of others.
Anyone else made any headway in the last year? I'm trying at the moment to see any significance in the formatting - specifically the underlining of seemingly random letters and words.

Quick thought - not sure if this has been raised elsewhere in the thread, and at 22 pages now, I'm a little reluctant to revisit it all. Apologies.
What if this message is entirely meaningless when taken from the outside looking in?
What I mean is that perhaps the message only makes sense when you already understand what has been coded. Perhaps the reason you're skittering around the edges is because you can't see what the ultimate message is. Maybe you need to know what you're looking for in the first place to be able to spot it - wood for the trees and all that.
Just a thought. |

More than likely, but considering the costs that have been wracked up over a couple of decades, they'd have to be pretty rich and patient intellectuals..

bump?
(that pic of the Western Union has been 'shopped. What did they take out in the left-hand side? From the round hole in the clouds downwards.)
I would have thought Jim Mosley would have been above such foolishness. 
addendum:
somebody set up a wiki. Is this something Brian is playing with? |
