My Prolonged Absence

I'm back. It's been far too long since I've made a post, but I needed to get away for a while. My life was hell for the past month, and I didn't need a Cyber War to make it any worse. I was absolutely miserable- lonely, depressed, and worried sick about my girlfriend, who had one health issue after another pop up. Not to mention I spent my Christmas vacation sitting around my house, unable to do anything but surf the Internet, which gets boring after a while when you have nothing to DO on the Internet. Didn't help that I have two holier-than-thou fucktards for younger brothers who spent the entire break lording everything they had that I didn't over me- their functioning Xbox, their money, their friends who aren't busy all the time, and their fucking JROTC ranks, which don't mean jack fucking shit. Then to top it all off, my girlfriend, who I haven't seen since November (that "six month anniversary" I may have mentioned? Didn't happen.), makes my depression worse by ridiculing me and my shitty planning skills- then making me feel like shit when I went off on her about it.

However, all that's behind me now. I'm back, and I'm feeling a hell of a lot better. FishSama was kind enough to update me on everything that happened with Anti-E while I was gone, so I'm fully up to speed. Now I'll be able to get back into looking into ELYSIUM and trying to find more info on it. As usual, I'll post anything I find here.

Begun, The Cyber War Has

Shit's getting real now. More posters have been popping up, and I'm positive my phone is tapped. Every time I talk to anyone, I hear the same effect, like they're on speakerphone even when they're not. And I swear someone was watching me at the college on Monday, while I was in the cafeteria on my laptop. I'm also incredibly pissed off. All of last week has been shit- I was ripped off on my college books, I'm failing math, and to top it all off Mono was too sick for our date.

Whatever Project ELYSIUM is, it's starting to sound more and more like a bad thing. FishSama is rallying people against it, even going so far as to release a literal call to arms and sending it out to as many people as possible- including me. If we were Muslim, this may have well as been a call to jihad, but right now it's more like insurance. He made a reference to that dude Assange and WikiLeaks- if enough people have the info he has, then even if something happens to him, the knowledge will still get out.

So now I'm in on it. I'll be emailing Fish again, asking for whatever info he's got. Most importantly, I want to know exactly what Project ELYSIUM is, and why it's so important as to have people monitoring me despite having only known about it for a month. I'll report back whatever I find out here. I still don't have all the details yet, but from the sound of things a war is beginning. Not one of bombs and guns, but electronics and information. A Cyber War. And it sounds like everyone's involved- the CIA, China, and even Anonymous. Hell,/b/ has declared war on anyone who's against WikiLeaks.

Before I go, the guys who posted the original video have release a second one. Same format as the first, but it's about half the length.

Shit's Getting Real

I haven't been able to do much more research into Project ELYSIUM, because I've been busy preparing for finals, and planning out my date next Saturday with Mono. However, a new development has formed. Wednesday, when I went to the college, all of the bulletin boards were covered in fliers. These fliers, to be exact.

((Tore one down to bring it home, since I had no way of taking pictures of it at the school.))

I don't need to explain why this was weird. It was one thing for them to have both the logo and the hexadecimal on them, but they also had the link to FishSama's blog. I emailed him about this, and apparently the same fliers have been popping up all over his home town, as well as San Diego, where a contact of his lives. Either this is one giant coincidence, or something big is going on.

Also, while I was talking to Mono on the phone, I swear it sounded like she was on speaker phone. She denied it, though, and Mono wouldn't like about something like that. If I didn't know any better, I'd say the phone was tapped, and someone was listening in on our phone call, but my house phone has a tendency to act up, so it may have been nothing.

A Breakthrough?

This post is going to be long, I'm afraid. I've just got so much stuff to cover, and even though I've condensed it down as much as possible, there's still a whole lot of information that I've discovered.

First of all, the numbers in the video. I had a friend take a look at them, a guy who's into this sort of stuff as well, and he told me they were hexadecimal, a sort of number code. He showed me an online translator, and when I punched the numbers in, they read "Project ELYSIUM". I'll touch on that in a bit.

Secondly, when I showed him the video, he noticed the numbers in the description- 2010.4.4.0314. He suggested that it was a time stamp, so I looked up that date, April 4th, 2010. Three things happened that day- a big earthquake in Mexico, and two terrorist attacks. A train in Russia was derailed by a bomb laid on the tracks, and the Islamic State of Iraq set off several bombs in Baghdad. As for the 0314, it's a time- 3:14. What the time means, I don't know.

However, April 4th has another, far more significant meaning. On that day in 1968, Martin Luther King, Jr was assassinated by James Earl Ray. This concerned me- this is the kind of stuff you find in conspiracies. I'm starting to think I may have stumbled onto something big here, and it's really starting to bug me.

Anyways, back to Project ELYSIUM. I looked it up, and a whole bunch of results came up for everything from anime to growing trees. After pushing through almost a hundred pages of worthless information (thanks a lot, Google), I finally found something somewhat relevant- a blog. It's by a guy who goes by FishSama, and he mentioned Project ELYSIUM in his most recent post. I can't really explain anything about it beyond that, so I've provided a link to his blog below:

Born Out of Binary

I'll keep looking up information on this Project ELYSIUM, and I'm going to try to contact Fish via email. I don't think it's just coincidence that he happened to be talking about the same thing I've been looking for.

Images in the Video

I haven't been able to find anything pertaining to Elysium yet, but I did catch something. I recently re-watched the video, and I caught something I missed before- another image in the static. This one flashed by so fast I must have missed it the first few times, but I managed to screen-cap it.

Photobucket

Not entirely sure what it's supposed to be- maybe a logo of some kind? But it's not the only thing I caught. There was also a sequence of numbers after it. They were harder to catch, and I had to do a lot more work to get the image, but I've got it.

Photobucket

They're kind of hard to see, but I think they read out like this:

50 52 4f 4a 45
43 54 20 45 4c
59 53 49 55 4d

Again, I have no idea what they mean, but I think it's some kind of code. After all, I did find this video while looking up stuff about numbers stations, and numbers stations do transmit coded messages. I have some friends who know a bit more about stuff like this at the college, so I'll ask around on Monday.

Elysium

So apparently my girlfriend can't come over during Thanksgiving break. We have plans to celebrate our six-month anniversary in December, soon as we can figure out a date that will work for both of us, but I really wish she could come over sooner. Ah, well. Guess I'll have to wait....

Anyways, I did some research on that word that kept popping up in that video- ELYSIUM. It's apparently something from Greek mythology. The Greeks believed in an underworld, which was divided into four parts. The main underworld, called Hades, was where most people went, and was ruled by the god of death, Hades. Those the gods didn't like were sent to Tartarus, a big pit below Hades where they suffered for eternity. Sort of their version of Inferno (that's Hell, for those of you who don't read Dante).

The last two parts were actually one place divided in two- Elysium. Just as Tartarus is the Greek Inferno, Elysium is the Greek Paradiso (Heaven). It was divided into two parts- the Elysian Fields, where the righteous and virtuous went, and the Elysian Islands, where the heroes of Greek mythology and other people especially liked by the gods went. They just chill there, and they're constantly happy. Apparently, the Elysian Fields are what Dante based Limbo off of in Inferno.(Limbo's the First Circle of Hell, where unbaptized infants, virtuous pagans like Homer and Virgil, and those who died before Christ's time but weren't wicked, like Julius Caesar, are sent. It's a paradise compared to the rest of Hell, but it's pretty gloomy, because they know they'll never see God.)

This is the only significant thing I've found out so far. Some other stuff included a couple of songs called "Elysian Fields" (one of which is by Megadeth, on Youthanasia), a software firm, and a gay hotel in Fort Lauderdale. Still don't know why it's in that video, or what it has to do with the numbers stations. I also haven't found anything out about the numbers in the video's description, either. I'll keep looking, though, and as always I'll post what I find here.

Numbers Stations

So I've been reading this stuff about Black Ops- you know, those military units that "don't exist" and do shit regular soldiers can't do, like assassinations and such. I was reading about how they work, and apparently they use these things called "numbers stations". They're like short-wave radio transmitters, hidden where people can't find them, that broadcast sequences of numbers or letters. Supposedly they use them to broadcast coded messages to operatives, which they translate to get their orders. There's one in Russia, called The Buzzer or something like that. You know those numbers that keep showing up in Black Ops? The ones that are supposed to tell the spies to set off their bombs? It's shit like that. Crazy, huh?

Anyways, I was looking around on the 'Net for examples of these broadcasts, and I found this video. It's got some numbers in the description, but I don't know what they mean. It also keeps having the word "ELYSIUM" popping up in the static. Dunno what it means, but I'll check it out. I also posted the video itself, so you can check it out for yourselves. I'll post some more stuff tomorrow, after I do some research on what "ELYSIUM" means.
