I think their whole site being open to the public is probably part of a grander experiment. Or a recruitment tool. Or both.
But I also take it they would like us to bug off.
Just a feeling I get.

Ah, sorry guys. Definitely fell prey to that trap.
I really don't feel anyone analyzed the video to that extent. I simply saw overlapping images, and wanted to know what they were. That's hardly anything in depth.
So they're remote viewers as well? That's a new tidbit of information about the group.
However, in other cases, even if the original authors believed that the information was accurate, other people may come along later and spread the same information further with the intent to deceive.
There will be a lot of disinformation if the benefits of being believed are high relative to the costs of not being believed and/or if the intended audience of the disinformation is much more likely to be credulous than to be skeptical.

Has anyone closed their eyes and listened to this? I will when I get home. Also, can 24h come through any speakers? I have no idea about that kind of stuff.

When you did the frame by frame did you note the frequency between disturbing imagery versus the serene settings? Those 2 elements would surely be related with how the music plays in regards to length of image exposure against the sound being produced.

I ask because I was referred to read the material on the bibliography here but also I have been reading into other bits of information related to this as well particularly this:
Responding to Subliminal Cues: Do If-Then Plans Facilitate Action
Preparation and Initiation Without Conscious Intent?
Ute C. Bayer and Anja Achztiger
Peter M Gollwitzer
Gordon B Moskowitz
Social Cognition, Vol. 27, No. 2, 2009, pp. 183–201
I wonder if our chatter about this is/was part of the experiment if there was a test being done on us involving preparation and initiation without conscious intent. If so then the content would be directly related to planned reaction, if so then a type of priming would of also had to have been done. It is curious however I am not bothered by this.
if I am asked to play mind games I'll tell them abeverage recommends meedit on 17-7-2013 by Brotherman because: cause im not bothered by this
Priming is defined as the process of activating a mental representation and its connections to memory in relation to a perceived stimulus. Through this activation, the connections will be more quickly accessible than they would be if they were not primed by the stimulus. For example, in the study by Naccache, Blandin & Dehaene (2002), subjects were required to decide whether a visually presented digit between the range of 1 and 9 is greater or smaller than the target number 5. Before the digits appeared, there was another digit which was presented subliminally. As a result, the decision speed was increased when the subliminally presented digit was congruent to the target stimuli by being greater or smaller than the digit 5. The authors concluded that subliminal priming can activate a particular connection in the memory and make responses faster. However, the priming effect disappears if the length of time between priming and target stimulus is greater than 100 ms. Another very recent priming study was carried out by Friedman et al. (2005), in which males who were subliminally primed with words related to alcohol rated women as more attractive than when they were primed with words not related to alcohol

Just drink ya' about six beers.
Works for me.
If it were not a school night I would do it but I rarely drink when I have to be somewhere in the morning.
