The ID on "Operation Blackjack" has a secret message

reply to post by Totakeke


That's a very valid point

It seems it went from update every hour to update every 6 - 8 hours now. Either that means we're getting closer to something, or the creator of this crappy ARG is slackin'...

I hope it's not the latter of the two...

It appears to me on the blackjack13 under sevare heading, if you right click on the bottom paragraph and try to move it (drag it over a little) - is seems that many of the letters look like symbols.

I also noticed the same thing in othello, when you try and click it makes the picture smaller and there appears to be more to the code.

Yup, that's what it always was.

Frankly, you have made 30 or more stars from me alone and your posts are some of the more sensible in this entire thread.

Watching this thread was entertaining for a while but now watching the internets 'number one source for alternative news' members chase their tails is getting a bit embarrasing. Orson Wells would be proud of those that are seeing the Martian invaders in grain silo's so to speak.


This isnt meant in a condescending manner towards anyone in particular or those that are enjoying the puzzle, but lets all agree its obviously a tasteless hoax.

No way, Oblivion had me in my room for MONTHS!

Seems to be a marketing and advertising thing. Some kind of market research project. I loaded up peer gaurdian and updated it to pick up government and educational ips as well as the regular filter. when i load up the blackjack slides on the Telelagraph i get IP block hits from NetIQ and media-time.de www.media-time.de

But usually ARG games are more involved and offer harder clues. In fact, we don't even have clues; we have a picture every 12 hours or so (lately the images have taken longer, though) and some base-64 text that we quickly decode to be a Shakespeare quote lol. If it IS an ARG it isn't a very good one.

Disagree, I followed Cloverfield and Tom Tooman ARG's and I have never seen anything move this fast and tied into real world events like this.

This is a counter added by a "mysterious" contributer to a grassroots Jericho ARG last 6 months.....

Counter is 6-24-2010 - coincidence? Rumored date of Movie release. I think this was a low budget ARG to promote fall Jericho comic and they really set the hook! Maybe went too far!

I honestly don't think this has anything to do with Jericho at all.

Fans have been clamoring for that show to return in some form,and if a new ARG was going to be made it wouldn't really make sense to seed it through the Telegraph.

IF....IF this is an ARG,I see it as sort of a grassroots thing by the Blackjack person/people at the Telegraph that sort of exploded into something bigger once they realised how many people were following along.

That is fair assesment, but also in consideration is Jericho was a big International hit and maybe they are going global in target. This now fits and they gained mucho VIRAL Marketing in this community,,,,,,

Jericho Movie next summer off this ARG - if they build on this will drive sales and potentially you are seeing framework and insight to storyline. Cloverfield was awesome like that ARG........

Well, as you can imagine we were all a bit surprised when a major news source was publishing codes and updating a website with information about terrorist attacks.

Moar updates needed

I would like to point out that, STILL, nobody made anything from the barcode, other than the XML data from the resized version (that was ME posting the "i know you can see this" msg on GLP...


Did anyone find anything else from it? I don't believe so.


It freaks me out a bit because I decoded/posted some of the earlier clues....

I was curious to see how much time was actually left, so here's an internet countdown timer counting down to 8:03 British Summer Time lol.

www.timeanddate.com...

14 has changed again.

maybe the reason is has been allowed to go on the way it has is because the government is in on it...not meaning that 6/22 will actually be the scenario from the comic...but someone said before...this is a wargame and we are part of the wargame...
and i will add to that maybe they are getting information on people who ARE Paying attention as those people will likely be the first to pay attention if there really IS some kind of attack from TPTB.

i posted this before and i really think there is something to it.
there is a poster that says "majic 12" at the crowded gas station in the blackjack comic...
majic-12
there is a symbol at the bottom of the page for the Information Awareness Office...which is not running any longer (officially) but there have been programs associated with it that may be running through other branches of DARPA.

look at the programs


ADDED

Martial Law and Concentration Camps Due to the wave of crime sweeping the nation they will convince the American people a state of anarchy exists within the major cities. They are now building their case almost nightly on TV and daily in newspapers. When public opinion has been won over to this idea they intend to state that a terrorist group armed with a nuclear weapon has entered the United States and that they plan to detonate this device in one of our cities. The government will then suspend the Constitution and declare Martial Law. The secret alien army of implanted humans and all dissidents, which translated into anyone they choose, will be rounded up and will be placed in concentration camps which already exist throughout the country. They are each one mile square. Are the people whom they intend to place in these concentration camps destined to make the reported "Batch Consignments" of slave labor needed by the Space Colonies? the media, radio, TV, newspapers, and computer networks will be nationalized and seized. Anyone who resists will be taken or killed. This entire operation was rehearsed by the government and military in 1984 under the code name REX-84 and it went off without a hitch. When these events have transpired the SECRET GOVERNMENT and/or ALIEN takeover will be complete. Your freedom will never be returned and you will live in slavery for the remainder of your life. You had better wake up and you had better do it now.

Didn't someone decode one that said blackjackisgo?

reply to post by Whyhi


Yup that one came early on.

I got the lady macbeth one, myself and another guy on GLP about a minute apart....

then found the XML in the resized image of the barcode (some poster found the size in the raw image data),

but nothing else was found from it, if I am not mistaken someone here turned the XML data into coordinates....could be coincidence, who knows?

Just what can you rule out, ya know?

I still stand behind "experiment", but as a few have mentioned, a very ill tasting one.

I have an observation that I don't think has been mentioned, if I missed it, sorry.

Why are all of the detonations at 8:03 am in each, different time zone? That would mean that they would happen several hours apart.

Wouldn't a multinational attack be more efffective if they all went off pretty much simultaneously?

8:03 am London time would only be 3 am on the east coast of the US.

So, I suppose if I wake up Monday morning at 6am EST and nothing has happend in London, then.........

Not saying this isn't real just yet, but I would find it more believable as a factual presentation if the London detonation happend at 4pm local time because it would then be 8am, local time in Los Angeles. Much more effective as a shock.

when it gets too real or serious on here it seems like the board stops for a long time...
