Hey there, I've been a long-time lurker but this mystery has gained my attention and I haven't seen any similar theories to the one I have. Here is my theory: From my research I think this website refers to Christianity and John 8:3-11. I believe this due to the content of those verses www.biblegateway.com...:3-11&version=NIV, their replies on formspring www.formspring.me... and additional research. I find it interesting that in some their responses on formspring they answered "they refused Jesus too" and in another response, concerning the stoning of a woman, there is no reply. This all relates to the verses in John where a woman accused of adultery is brought to Jesus by the Pharisees (they refused Jesus) to be stoned. Jesus in turns illustrates that they are all guilty of sin and proceeds to write/draw in the sand (nobody knows for sure what was written). In the picture created, files.abovetopsecret.com... their is an object with the words that have been translated to say "for casting" (the mob to cast stones at the woman), a buried tube (line drawn on the ground by Jesus) and then a person standing on the opposite side (Jesus) saying "don't throw stone". There's then another object behind "Jesus" which looks like the image representing the "mob" or Pharisees which says "perhaps a sign/plaque". If it's a sign or plaque, it could refer to the plaque placed around Jesus' neck before his crucifixion. If I'm correct, I look at the fact that the two objects on either side of the line (mob, and the woman) are the same. I think that you are encouraging us to spread the word on your "info" as a way to make us realize that we are all the same. When I researched the umbrella aspect I found some interesting results. First, there were numerous pages, i.e. www.compasschurch.org... which refer to God being an umbrella for humanity. The one that I found most interesting was the story of a drought in Kansas. A congregation came together to pray for a rain and a little girl (Belle) was the only one to show up with an umbrella www.catholicvu.com... If I'm right about this, I presume that you are encouraging people to respect one another and have faith in God.

I can't find it now, but somewhere in the questions they were answering I remember them saying they put the two pictures together of Belle because of something to do with "duality". Does anyone think duality is of any importance to the riddle?

The Belle Selman connection is starting to make alot of sense to me. 1. Holocost survivor: all the cities found connected to 8-3-11 images are home to holocost museums. 2. Belle, since she also spoke German was used as a translator between Nazis and concentration camp inmates.( and possibly for signal station transmissions?) 3.Her father cut her hair in an attempt to shield her from the abuse that was endured by the women and girls at the hands of the nazis.( photos of Belle with short hair referred to as the "boy".)this also ties into the duality theme.4 Belle Selman was apparently 6 when all this happened which the 8-3-11 formspring says was her age at the time of the picture.5. Belle Selman's son is a MARKETING DIRECTOR!
