Opening a separate thread for this since it includes more than just the ad and the other thread is getting a bit muddy. :)

Under Electromagnetic Research Initiative there's a picture of what looks like the Northern Lights from outerspace. The picture is captioned "Early morning hours of October 28, 2001"

Was that when the crash happened?! Are they (sort of) confirming the connection between the crash and electromagnetism???

Why the heck would they be so explicit about the date and time of this seemingly random picture?

EDIT: As pointed out just below, crash was in 2004. Can't remember if one of the dates on the blast door map corresponds to this though.

hey... anyone know how to decompile flash swf's so you can see the original code and open in the flash editor.

it's sortof cheating, but might show you what's behind those logins. or we could play fair and wait for the next clue.

either way, it's super cool that they got this thing going! site looks great.

On the board of directors there is a Liddy Wales. She is the only one without a picture and the info is password-protected.

Hmm...

I think Liddy sounds an awful lot like Libby and to show her picture would give quite a lot away...

awesome site, BTW

If you go to 'Joops Corner' and 'send him a message' a whole new screen opens up with clickable 'cells' and it then reveals some strange documents/letters.

password to login is

break strain

I believe you have to register for the newsletter first:

1. enter screen name
2. Type yes and press enter
3. Type in password above and you should get a message from the pesephone

once that is done send joop any message to get to the letter.

function setNewScaryLimit()
{

Has anyone else found the hidden letter on the site.I haven't seen it mentioned yet.

I sent a message to joop and ended up with a letter about primate testing and disease control in Zanzibar !

At the end of the flash movie the following text appeares in red over the letters'

"The Hanso Foundation,setting world speed records for subverting authority"

In the upper right hand content box of the Mathematical Forecasting Initiative's page, there are quite a few words blocked out. The first is "Zambia" (the Africation nation of...) and I'm working on the rest.

Here you go:

COPENHAGEN, DENMARK, FRIDAY, 01/05/06 The Hanso Foundation is pleased to announce a significant breakthrough in population growth modeling.Beginning ten years ago, in partnership with the government of the developing African nation of Zambia, Hanso Foundation researchers provided a detailed schedule of population growth to country officials along with analyses of how a growing citizenry would affect national security, medical spending, agricultural output, employment rates, and other pertinent factors.The Hanso Foundation’s model has allowed More Soon to prosper in its growing population, with a 40% rise in GDP, a 20% drop in unemployment, and a significant reduction in preventable illness. The capital, Steevo, has become a significant center of commerce for the region, and urban planners have expanded major city centers while increasing standard of living.Potential applications for our new population model are as far-reaching as they are varied. The Hanso Foundation thanks its tireless mathematicians, as well as Hanso, for this great gift to humanity.

Are you referring to the 'Goblet' film? If so, wasn't that a confirmed fake? And the chick had goggles and a hat on if I remember correctly---but to answer your question, I would bet my forty acres that the women are not one in the same.

I know i'm posting way too much but while I was clicking around on the thing that pops up after you send a message to joop after logging in, i was thinking, it kinda looks like a map! the black spot in the bottom left might be australia? and the lines on the top right could be the US west coast? i'm pulling at strings here but that's the first thing that came up when I saw it. the circles could be stations? and the red one, where the losties are?

Huh...? You listen to the Whispers, you'll be fine. When you listen to those, you don't expect all of the answers to come at once, right? Same thing with this game. It's meant to be intricate, and it Will have a ton of information, but we don't have to keep track of it all. Just input anything that You notice or find that no one else has and then the rest is just reading.
I'm sure you'll do fine. :)

I'm thinking when you try to sign up and it says to call the call center in the TV ad, it could mean the comercial they are going to show on tomorrow's episode.

Edit: Someone said earlier that the code for the sign in thing is "break strain" but it's "breaking strain". After you put that in go message Joop. In his brain thing I found a button. When you click it a female voice says "The Hanso Foundation, setting world speed records for subverting authority."

Edit: Also found that in the letters when you click Peter Thompson's name.

Also here's some other things:

-Click on "active projects", then on "Worldwide Wellness and Prevention Development Program". Click on "World Map". Then move your cursor around the east coast of America. You can click on an unmarked location. Put your cursor over the box where the info is shown with the other places, a very faint box should appear. Print screen, put it into paint, invert colors, zoom. Nothing legible to me, but you might see something.

-Go to "Joop's Corner". Click on "Send Joop a message here" on the right side of the screen under the pic. click on "send" on the right side. Be warned, scary monkey pic appears, nothing too weird, just him with his mouth open, screaming. Anyway, a thing will appear with his brain or something. Click on the highlighted circles to connect them. You can read the letter that pops up. It's about a new Meningococcal strain in Africa and stuff. Click on the signature at the bottom to read the letter that they sent next, an apology letter. Click on the highlighted name at the bottom, it will say why they are apologizing.

-Click "Newsletter (sign up)". Type in your name, or any other thing. To respond to the messages that appear, click on the text box again to type. You will be asked for a password. If you're in the UK, you would call the number from the commercial during LOST, but in the rest of the world, just type in "breaking strain" without the quotes. BTW, the messages on the phone ask you to press a number to talk to a Hanso person, they all lead to a recording saying "______isn't here" and stuff. It mentions an offshore drilling platform by Korea, and Widmore. Anyway, enter the code. Congrats, you're in Dharma-land. Nothing new it says, but check back.

-Go back to "Joop's corner". Click on "send Joop a message". Then just leave the screen. Open up a new window for the net and do some browsing. You'll have to wait like an hour. Go back to the Joop page. You'll see that some scribbles have appeared, along with some red, what looks like writing. Every few minutes, the cam will go mostly black, and a man's head's sillhouette will appear. Dunno who it is, but still creepy. It looks like a bald guy, almost like Locke. Don't close the screen, if you do and decide to come back, you'll have to wait for the scribbles to appear again. I suggest print screening.

Click on "World Map"
There are three red dots you can click on to see what work Hanso is doing in developing countries.
There is a 'hidden' fourth dot in the area of the Bermuda Triangle. Nothing appears to come up....
...tilt your screen back (easier if you have a laptop) and you can see a series of code and symbols, and a list of numbers...

here is a screencap from shellyboo http://img93.imageshack.us/img93/8040/handoooo3vf.png

...two underlined series of numbers separated with slashes. the numbers are 13/9/19/19/9/14/7 and the second set 15/18/7/1/14/19.
from its_a_spoon
If you let A=1, B=2, etc.

hi

what about the red smudge that appears on the joop webcam?
if you leave the window open for a while, when the black lines become more and more, a red smudge appears. could be some kind of sentence, has anyone checked it out?

another thing that came to mind, out of pure speculation: what if "persephone" is, in fact, alex? the myth of persephone goes that she was the daughter of demeter, the greek goddess of agriculture. she was kidnapped by hades, the lord of the underworld: "And he [Zeus] came to the bed of bountiful Demeter, who bore white-armed Persephone, stolen by Hades from her mother's side" (quote from wikipedia.com. link:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persephone#The_abduction_myth)
it's a loooong shot, but you can speculate why of all aliases a person can pick, persephone would be the one... besides, they seem to have access to computers and perhaps a communication network on the island, judging from walt and michael on the computer, and the ? map.

anyway, just a long shot. what about that red smudge?

kind regards

Maybe not! You will love this fan site that theorizes on all the LOST characters representing Greek mythological figures, and also that LOST draws heavily on Robert Temple's book, The Sirius Mystery. I am giving you the link directly to the page on Alex (http://members.aol.com/_ht_a/lostdogon/index4.html#Alex).;)

Here is also a link to the HMS Mythology group (http://www.thefuselage.com/Threaded/showthread.php?t=32647)here that has recently been discussing that site, and the site owner posts there too.

Back OT...I have been following this thread and checking out thehansofoundation.org. ;)

Hey guys, I can't really see the hanso site because I don't have the updated flash player. When I try to download it, I get an error message that the file isn't there... does anyone know of a mirror for flash downloads?
Just hoping!
Thanks, P42

ETA: Nevermind, I was able to download it later tonight.

Whoa... cool new hanso graphics! :)

hi!

thanks for the link, tabby! it's really interesting reading. i'm not sure about all the associations, although traits of world mythologies - especially the greek - can be found everywhere. but the fact that they associate persephone with alex, and now there is a persephone leaking info on the hanso website makes me wonder. man, we could post a whole general theory about it...

kind regards and many thanks!

Hello All,

This is my first post.

Someone mentioned that the picture of the Aurora says it was taken on October 28, 2001. A Yahoo! search brought up this link:

http://www.spaceweather.com/aurora/gallery_28oct01.html

It talks about a geomagnetic storm that happened on that day. Just thought it might be of some use.

Some interesting things concerning Joop.

- Joop the orangutan was originally a character in Mysterious Island by Jules Verne.

- Joop (the LOST version) is known as Experimental Subject 626. In the Disney film Lilo and Stitch, Stitch is referred to as Experiment 626.

The Worldwide Wellness and Prevention Development Program [credit to jack_kent79 for noticing this]
Click on "World Map"
There are three red dots you can click on to see what work Hanso is doing in developing countries.
There is a 'hidden' fourth dot in the area of the Bermuda Triangle. Nothing appears to come up....
...tilt your screen back (easier if you have a laptop) and you can see a series of code and symbols, and a list of numbers...

here is a screencap from shellyboo http://img93.imageshack.us/img93/8040/handoooo3vf.png

...two underlined series of numbers separated with slashes. the numbers are 13/9/19/19/9/14/7 and the second set 15/18/7/1/14/19.
from its_a_spoon
If you let A=1, B=2, etc.

13=M, 9=I, 19=S, 19=S, 9=I, 14=N, 7=G
15=O, 18=R, 7=G, 1=A, 14=N, 19=S

Just a quick observation - the writer of the apology letter that can be viewed by clicking the blue bubbles in Joop's brain is one Peter Thompson. The name is even circled in red. So this Peter Thompson guy worked for the Global Health Organization, right? And for some reason the GHO dropped their threats toward the Hanso Foundation, right? Think that might be connected to the fact that the Hanso Foundation's vice president, general counsel, and secretary is none other than PETER THOMPSON?

Ok, that is really interesting about the meningococcal disease. I didn't know what it was.. here is some info.:

Catching it
Meningococcal disease is caused by bacteria (not by a virus), and transmitted via saliva. Meningococcal bacteria can live harmlessly in our throat and nose. Around 20% percent of people will be carrying these bacteria at any one time without ever becoming ill (‘healthy carriers’). In fact, all of us will carry them at some stage in our lives.

The bacteria are spread by activities such as sneezing, coughing, intimate kissing, and sharing food or drinks. Environments where people are in close contact, such as day-care centres, school camps, parties and nightclubs, make it easier for the bacteria to spread. At nightclubs, there's a risky combination of crowding, smoking, kissing, sharing drinks and shouting above the noise, which can disperse tiny droplets into the air that can be breathed in by someone close by.

However the bacteria only live for a short time outside the body – and even if you them up, it doesn’t mean you’ll become ill. The danger only occurs if you pick up a strain you’re not immunised against, or don’t have any natural immunity to –- or if your immune system has for some reason become weakened and cannot cope.

Actually instead of posting all of this you guys can go visit http://www.meningococcal.com.au/index.html

So, the photo of Alvar Hanso is from 2003, or, wait, 1980? Which is it? I am leaning to the orientation video being phony. Another question tho. Why is there only 1 picture of old Alvie? Does he even exist? I am starting to think that he is not real, merely a face to put on an organization that has its hands in many pockets, including the GWC.

A minor thing I noted, but I didn't see a reference to it. It appears that The Numbers appear while the flash is loading up, interspersed among the real percentage measurement. I haven't looked to see if there is a pattern yet, but I think that that's the reason why The Numbers are in the source which timdorr decompiled. It's probably just an easter egg, rather than a real clue, based on the seemingly random way they display, but I'm not going to swear to it.

The whole Alvar Hanso thing is very interesting, some of the old HF site stuff said he was around during WW2 and that he's still running the foundation today, maybe Alvie has extended his own life, afterall that is one of the HF's projects. or like you said, maybe there is no such person.

Since the entire "site" seems to be one large Flash applet, if you want to get a closer look at things you can just zoom in. Just right click on the site (or control-click if you're on a Mac with a one-button mouse) and select "Zoom In" from the Flash Player contextual menu. This helped me easily read the hidden text on the WWPD map of the undisclosed location. This technique might help us unearth other clues as well.

Hi all....second post here....second today, actually, but i'm obsessed. Anyhow, couple of interesting things i've noted....first, the Persephone thing....the numbers aren't the only password that works....first thing we thought of here was Cerebrus, the guardian of hell...Persephone was married to Hades, afterall. Worked like a charm.

The other thing relates to the numbers in the Bermuda image....the first bit is wing-dings and then some math symbols...haven't translated yet to get the equation but the sequences: 13 9 19 19 9 14 7 and 15 18 7 1 14 19 struck me immediately because of another theory that I've developed in re: the numbers (I posted some observations on it over in the theories section earlier today...needs a bit of editing to make it a bit clearer, and maybe others have come up with it, but i hadnt seen it) I'm gonna translate the rest of that equation out and see what i can do with it.

Hi

Happy birthday Amber! Yeap, i posted a link to a quote from wikipedia on the myth of persephone.
on the one hand, it's pure speculation on whether alex is in fact persephone or not, like i said, a shot in the dark. i mean, we have no factual idea if there is any form of communication between the island and the "real world", however, thinking that walt (we assume) and michael were in touch via computer, and the dharma intranet mentioned in the ? map is mentioned, perhaps there is some kind of way to hack in and communicate. my point is this, again: of all the aliases a person can choose to use, why this one in particular? besides, tabby rasa posted a link to a website where there are all the possible connections between the lost characters and the greek mythology, where alex is connected to persephone, again.
i'd call it a stretch to say that everyone is related to a mythological character, since traces of any world myth characters can be found inspiring any fictional character, but this hint seems to be plausible.
i really don't know if this is the right thread to put this info, so if the mods want to move it to Theories, it's ok. i don't want to clutter the experience with speculation :biggrin:...

kind regards!

The text at the end of the second letter something about "Hanso foundation setting records" has changed from Large Times New Roman, to something smaller and more messy.

that when you click between Joops Corner and Send Joop a message, if you do a print screen, and paste in MSPAINT, you definately get a faint image of the man in the MHA (mental health awarenett) and he is the image fainting in and out.

SO I am guessing that he is part of the next clue.

Tried Zeus, and it said "gotta go", then went back and tried it again and it worked fine....seems like it'l take just about anything

Ok, this is probably a HUGE stretch, but check out Mission Statement page.

You see all of the projects' logos. See how it sort of looks like it says "LEPER" at the beginning (?

That's interesting...!

I also noticed that on this same page, the logos and the text underneath (which ostensibly spells out each acronym) do not match. For the ERI and MHA logos, the small print text lists the 'Educational Outreach Imperative' instead. But I haven't seen such an initiative/project anywhere else on the site, including under the Active Projects tab. Any thoughts on this? Could be a typo, but it happens twice, which makes me think it might be intentional...

Help! I can't even get logged in. I've tried typing "breaking strain" in the login and it does nothing. I've tried typing it as a user name for the newsletter and I just get the weird screen and music and then can't do anything but close it. What in the world am I doing wrong? If I'm having this much trouble already, I'm going to have a heck of a time with this whole game. Can anyone offer any suggestions to why I can't get logged in?

on the newsletter page type your name in and click on next

type in 'yes' and press enter

then 'breaking strain' as the password and press enter

Type your name into the username. And then use 'breaking strain' as a password when prompted by "Persephone".

She should say before "Can you see this?" or something regarding her writing.

When you type in the password, wait a bit. The text which comes up next can take some time...

This is not so much of an update or clue as a comment on something I noticed when I zoomed in on the executive bios section. Dr. Thomas Werner Mittlewerk is
1.) An extremely creepy looking individual

2.) Seems to be the only official affiliated with the foundation that is a "doctor" or at least uses the title (kind of odd considering how much of their efforts are aimed at bettering humanity through health organizations).

3. He has one of the most foreboding personal quotes I've ever heard, "Science has laid bare the tools of change. It is the responsibility of a trusted few to shepherd humanity to a greater future."

yeah dr thomas gave me the heebiejeebies...
also thought I had seen him before in Lost, but i think it's just because he bears a wee resemblance to the marshall. Do you think the trusted few are the Hanso workers? Or the Losties?

-Go to "Joop's Corner". Click on "Send Joop a message here" on the right side of the screen under the pic. click on "send" on the right side. Be warned, scary monkey pic appears, nothing too weird, just him with his mouth open, screaming. Anyway, a thing will appear with his brain or something. Click on the highlighted circles to connect them. You can read the letter that pops up. It's about a new Meningococcal strain in Africa and stuff. Click on the signature at the bottom to read the letter that they sent next, an apology letter. Click on the highlighted name at the bottom, it will say why they are apologizing.

I think those highlighted circles may represent our Lost Island Hatches. If so, there may be more than we have previously thought.

That shiz scared me so badly hahahahaa! I was all 'OMG'.. what's going on!?? Then when it tells you to call the ad number and goes back to the serene music.. that is also creepy.



Ok, that is really interesting about the meningococcal disease. I didn't know what it was.. here is some info.:

Catching it
Meningococcal disease is caused by bacteria (not by a virus), and transmitted via saliva. Meningococcal bacteria can live harmlessly in our throat and nose. Around 20% percent of people will be carrying these bacteria at any one time without ever becoming ill (‘healthy carriers’). In fact, all of us will carry them at some stage in our lives.

The bacteria are spread by activities such as sneezing, coughing, intimate kissing, and sharing food or drinks. Environments where people are in close contact, such as day-care centres, school camps, parties and nightclubs, make it easier for the bacteria to spread. At nightclubs, there's a risky combination of crowding, smoking, kissing, sharing drinks and shouting above the noise, which can disperse tiny droplets into the air that can be breathed in by someone close by.

However the bacteria only live for a short time outside the body – and even if you them up, it doesn’t mean you’ll become ill. The danger only occurs if you pick up a strain you’re not immunised against, or don’t have any natural immunity to –- or if your immune system has for some reason become weakened and cannot cope.

Actually instead of posting all of this you guys can go visit http://www.meningococcal.com.au/index.html

Ok, this may be a complete long shot.. well isn't everything at this point? :p But you know the 'missing organs' puzzle? Well that kind of made me think about how the Others took the kids off the beach from the tailies, and Walt and Aaron. and well they just seem to like children a whole lot.

And so on the Hanso site, I notice that all of their hospitals are in developing countries. Gambia, Guinea, Ethiopia, Somalia and Rwanda. In all of those places there are cases of missing organs. This is a pretty big problem there, even so much that orphanages are threatened to hand over children every once in awhile. They take organs out of children only, to make magic charms and take it pretty seriously.

I'm not saying that this is the reason why the hospitals are in those places... I just don't think that they're doing what they say they're doing. and I'm grasping at straws. :D

I saw this mentioned around page 4 of this thread but no one commented further. I noticed this too, and it has piqued my curiousity.

On the bottom left of the screen on the main page, there is a spot where your cursor registers something. If yo click on it, it moves the green spotlights in the background from the top and right, to the middle, to the bottom left. I don't know what the purpose of this is, maybe it changes settings on other layers of the website. Any ideas? Do we have any tech savvy people who could figure this out? If layers are involved, then it could be a Myst like thing, where you have to adjust the background before new things out.

Also, to the person asking about revamps on the Oceanic sites. I'm a reg on the oceanicflight815 forums. We have been having a lot of problems with our forum...ridiculous downtimes and errors. They are doing a lot of work on out site, but we haven't seen any of it yet. So i don't know if this is for better or worse, just yet. On thing that might bode well (though humorous) it that on the barcode at the bottom of the main page (the one that gives you the "zombie script page", the 'submit' button has changed in the past week or so. I have no idea what this means, but it HAS changed...although nothing else seems to have. :undecide:

If anyone is interested in a comprehensive and concise summary post on everything that we have learned so far, i've got one up over on http://thecoconutinternet.com. I can't remember if you have to register to see the threads or not. But i've been updating it all day, scouring all of the forums like this one to collect the info. I think i've done a good job of giving credit where due. I will keep updating this throughout the game (i have probably updated it 20 times today). It might be a good reference place, at least until DocArzt over at the tailsetion get his thelostexperience.com up and running on May 4.

Now, I just noticed,

that when you click between Joops Corner and Send Joop a message, if you do a print screen, and paste in MSPAINT, you definately get a faint image of the man in the MHA (mental health awarenett) and he is the image fainting in and out.

SO I am guessing that he is part of the next clue.

Actually, it's a little deeper than that. I believe that the image is what's making the text in the Joop's Corner area flicker, as well. I think that image is under that area as long as you don't leave the Joop-related section.

Interesting coincidence that probably means nothing - the man's eyes match up with "Joop" and Hanso respectively in the Joop's Corner writeup.

I think perhaps someone with good Photoshop-Fu might want to take a look at the master version of the picture and see if there's anything hidden. In the AI game, there was something good hidden on the green channel of a particular photo - maybe there's something similar here?

"On any page, click near the bottom of the window, below the bottom left corner of the grey window that all the info is in, about a cm below it, and it makes the green background splotches move... odd. I found that using the tab button, which in flash highlights all clickable objects in yellow."

You might have to change your view screen, go up to the toolbar, to view:fullscreen

Someone over at the tailsection said that when she clicked it 5 times fast that she got a message on the screen saying something along the lines of "the teacher in Rwanda is Cindy". I can't get it to do this. So i don't know if this person was telling the truth, or if she was on a different page than me when she did this, but i think it bears investigating. If whe wasn't yanking my chain, than that would be a significant discovery.

A few of us on another forum i know noticed this, but i don't think i've heard anyone being able to figure anything out as to why there is this discrepancy. Also, you may have noticed that there are several research projects that are missing. I'm not sure what this means, but it all might be important later.

New poster too, even though I've been lurking for months.

Well, are the projects really missing? After all there is a message somewhere (can't remember where) about putting a public face on the Hanso Foundation work - so what's to say the projects just haven't simply been renamed? (I work in PR and putting a spin on unpleasant things wouldn't surprise me!) The eugenics progamme could now be the Genomic Advancement, the remote viewing programme could now be the "mental health" programme.

Does anyone have a list of the previous programmes so we can see if they tally up with the new fluffy face of Hanso?

The Areas of Study
Meterology
Psychology
Parapsychology
Zoology
Elctromagnetism
Utopian Social ......



The Dharma Initiative was created in 1970, and it is the brainchild of Gerald and Karen DeGroot -- two doctoral candidates at the University of Michigan. Following in the footsteps of visionaries such as B.F. Skinner [there is a jump cut/splice here] imagined a large scale communal research compound where scientists and free thinkers from around the globe could pursue research in meteorology, psychology, parapsychology, zoology, electromagnetism, and utopian social [splice] Danish industrialist and munitions magnate Alvar Hanso whose financial backing made their dream of a multi-purpose social science research facility a reality.

karolmc
05-03-2006, 06:53 PM
OK, so meterology is now under mathematical forecasting. Utopian social whatsit is genomic advancement, forecasting and world-wide wellness. Psychology (and possibly parapsychology) is mental health. Electromagnetism is the same. Zoology probably covered by genomic advancement and life extension. So they're all still covered.

Ah, found the mirror site through wikipedia.

http://www.bigspaceship.com/archive/hanso/activeproject.html

The original projects were:

The Hanso Life-Extension Project (http://www.bigspaceship.com/archive/hanso/lep.html)

The Hanso Foundation Electromagnetic Research Initiative (http://www.bigspaceship.com/archive/hanso/emri.html)

The Hanso Quest for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence (http://www.bigspaceship.com/archive/hanso/qeti.html)

The Hanso Mathematical Forecasting Initiative (http://www.bigspaceship.com/archive/hanso/mfi.html)

The Hanso Cryogenics Development Imperative (http://www.bigspaceship.com/archive/hanso/cdi.html)

The Hanso Juxtapositional Eugenics Development Institute (http://www.bigspaceship.com/archive/hanso/jedi.html)

The Hanso Accelerated Remote Viewing Training Facility (http://www.bigspaceship.com/archive/hanso/arvtf.html)

So there's cryogenics in there as well that can't be accounted for. So I'm probably barking up the wrong tree anyway.

New poster too, even though I've been lurking for months.

Well, are the projects really missing? After all there is a message somewhere (can't remember where) about putting a public face on the Hanso Foundation work - so what's to say the projects just haven't simply been renamed? (I work in PR and putting a spin on unpleasant things wouldn't surprise me!) The eugenics progamme could now be the Genomic Advancement, the remote viewing programme could now be the "mental health" programme.

Does anyone have a list of the previous programmes so we can see if they tally up with the new fluffy face of Hanso?

Ta

K

You mean the projects listed on the old Hanso Foundation site?

The ones that are missing or that may have been renamed are...

Quest for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence

Cryogenics Development Imperative

Juxtapostional Eugenics Development Institute

Accelerated Remote Viewing Training Facility

I can't get the green spotlight in the background to move at all, could someone take a screen grab of exactly where you have to click, I've been hovering my mouse over the area that people have described for about half an hour, nada...

Joop the Orangutan's 105th birthday

The Hanso Foundation Life-Extension Project celebrated a milestone in the 105th birthday of experimental subject 626. Experimental subject 626, known to Hanso Life Extension project researchers as “Joop,” is an orangutan originally harvested by British explorers in the early 1900s

So, wow. They used a lot of test subjects before getting it right. Joop is # 626.

i figured it out, but still, i'm having trouble believing that john kerry and george sr. both agreed to be in an advertisement for a fake website to keep the watchers of an equally fake tv show entertained over the summer lol.
although the kerry footage could be taken from a campaign commercial, and until we get sound, we have no idea, george sr. could have been photoshopped (i don't really know the technical term) from another tape and put in front of waves you know?

Okay, so I've been checking the registry information for the various sites that are reported to be linked... (oceanicairlines.com, thehansofoundation.org) the only thing I could find of interest is regarding the hanso foundation site.

The registry information of this site is not protected. Basically, if you take a look out who the oceanic airlines site is registered to, you will see that it is registered to a third party, who basically act on the register's behalf, prohibiting the general public from gaining access to the personal details of the person the website is registered to.

However, this is not the cause for the hanso foundation website. Now, while this may just be down to the fact that when the site was originally registered, the creators weren't away of the potential problems of people gaining access to their personal information, however it seems slightly odd to me.

The Hanso Foundation website is registered in the name of the hanso foundation, complete with an address (which I believe has been mentioned before, it's in Denmark). However, the register's e-mail address is linked as mexicanlunch@hotmail.com. I would like to point out that I in no way advocate sending e-mails to this individual, as it is very possibly a site designer or individual who was merely involved in the creative process. However, if they are taking things seriously with regards to this, it's quite possibly a clue and worth looking into.

For those who haven't noticed it yet, there is a "button" diagonally lower-left of the "2006 Hanso Corporation tag" in the lower left hand corner of the screen (screen must be expanded so that you can explore below that window tag).

Clicking on that "button" rotates the circles through a cycle of 5 positions.

1) big green circle in lower right hand corner; "sick" green circle near top left
2) big green circle shifting slightly to the left with the medium green circle coming down to meet it and moving to the right of the big green circle; "sick" green circle doesn't move much
3) all circles move towards lower left corner
4) big green circle moves back to lower right; "sick" green circle to top right
5) another move towards lower left corner for most circles, but slightly different than 3rd position

rinse and repeat

Now, the circles also move on their own when navigating the website, following the same pattern.

Not sure if the circles (particularly perhaps the "sick," irradiated-looking green circle) can be moved in different positions to help reveal hidden information.

What is an RSS feed, and how do you subscribe to one?


An RSS feed is what allows you to get content from a frequently updating website, like a blog, delivered directly to you. Instead of having to go and check a site regularly and never knowing if it has been updated, the updates are sent to you as soon as they occur.

You subscribe by using an application called an RSS aggregator. There are standalone programs and browser plug-ins you can use for this, but I personally use the free Web-based service at (I hope it's OK to post a link here) http://www.bloglines.com (http://www.bloglines.com/) . Once you've set up an account there, you can log in, click on the Add tab at the top of the right-hand column, and paste in the URL from the page that comes up when you click on the Subscribe button on the Hanso page.

Okay, I don't know if this has been mentioned before. I've just read all the posts, but may have missed this. If you keep the joop webcam open for a long, long time, you will notice a couple of things..

First, the red stripe seems to have some text hidden in it. I'm trying to read it, but it's not clear enough yet.

The other thing is, the image turns almost all black. But there are still some parts of the image remaining. And maybe I'm getting a little carried away, but it almost looks like the eye of some kind of alien or something.

Someone tell me if I'm going insane and seeing things, lol...

ETA: Maybe no alien eyes... but there is an oddly shaped head and some big ears! Maybe it's the image of the person that you can already see in the image before it goes dark.

If you go to the area on the site where you send "Joop" a message and watch the webcam for several minutes, a faint outline of a face with eyes appears on his forehead. Occasionally, Joop is replaced by the dark outline of a man (maybe bald), who seems to be screaming or something...

I was looking at the Hanso website and notices two strange things. By hitting tab you can see hidden links, one is in the lower left hand are of the screen, in the black. All this seems to do is change the lights in the background. A stranger one is in the map page of Hanso hospitals. There is an invisible hospital where cuba would be with no information attached. It probably is some secret link, but I couldnt find anything.

My first post so forgive me if if done incorrectly. Would be great to have a Flash expert to check out the site. I noticed a couple of things and think the green circles do mean something. On some of the pages if you extend your window so it's wider than the flash movie you see a big arrow on the side or bottom (make browser window too tall/narrow). It's not on all pages and is in different locations when it does appear.

Also, and maybe this was already mentioned, on the homepage when you click on the bottom right image "...and our work for a safer environment" - notice the text at top has some words whited out.

Not sure if this has been mentioned yet, but on the "Joop's Corner" page, Just under the handwritten "Joop's Corner" in the upper left hand of the screen, there is a place to input text. I tried to put something in and hit enter, and it disappeared, so I'm assuming that it actually took input and did something with it. What, I'm not sure.

Hey... the info is coming too fast for me to check on everythign that's already been posted, but on the Joop page, after clicking on the circles and reading the two letters, it comes back and you see the little story about passing a milestone. Well, on my screen, there seems to be some sort of nearly transparent white image flickering over the text. it makes some of the letters appear faded a bit.

I've brought it into photoshop and messed with levels and such to see if any image appeared, but it just makes a blog. But there's definitely something there. Anyone else notice this?

Please excuse this post if this information has already been given.

On the website, Dr. Thomas Werner Mittlelwerk has a pic attached and it looks remarkably like the head hybrid all-around-bad-dude "Szura" on Invasion. I could swear it was him!

So does this create some connection between aliens and LOST? Or maybe just a connection between that show and our show? Last season there were all sorts of crossover references between LOST and Alias.

I was pretty sure TPTB said the LOST mysteries didn't have anything to do with aliens. :undecide:
100%
is it just me or do the sound and pictures in the girl's appearance on the website fail to match up? I have a feeling that she actually says more words than are on the audio track. Anyone a lip-reader?!
I noticed that too. I assumed she was speaking in another language and it was just translated to English. I'll try to read her lips next time I go to the site.

the title of the vid is coastal americas coastal ecosystems learning centers I know that someone found that Cuba has a hospital on the map with no info but I found something... (not sure if this was mentioned before).
This kinda refers to what I was talking about before with the possible link between LOST and Invasion. In Invasion, a hybrid population went berserk in Cuba.

If you are looking at the map with the island in the Middle of the Atlantic Ocean, that is certainly NOT Cuba. Maybe the Canary Islands but I have to look more closely.

the problem is that no one is reading the thread and we are drowning in trout. People are asking and answering the same questions they were asking and answering in the first few pages of the thread. If people would actually read the thread before posting, all of their questions would be answered and the thread would be 1/5 its current length without the redundancies.

If every time a new person joins the game and they don't read the boards and instead post about every question they have, this forum will quickly become too unwieldy to be of use and completely non-functional.

I completely agree with you!
However, we have been given exactly ONE thread in which to discuss the entire site of hansofoundation.org so this is what is going to happen.

If a player comes to the Lost Experience forum and has one question about the hanso site, they will look at this thread which is already 22 pages long and think, forget it! So they just tack their question onto the end of it. Who wants to spend another hour trying to sift through piles of info? This is the problem with the new moderator rule of squashing every post together into one gigantic thread. You end up with a constantly repeating loop of same-o same-o that no one reads.:rolleyes:

It would be so much easier if we were allowed to create different individual threads in which to discuss maps, passwords, projects, or hanso board members. Then all someone would have to do is quickly scan the titles and click the most relevant one. You can't quickly scan anything when you are wading through 20 pages of one thread.


Edited to add: I actually read every single post in this entire thread before I posted anything - but I find I am in the very small minority of Fuseleers to do this, especially when all the merging creates such huge threads.

I see the Geronimo Jackson thread was closed. I wonder why? Are we not supposed to discuss GJ by itself in the forum? Is all speculation on GJ supposed to be contained to one of the main gigantic threads stickied to the top?

It would be so much better to have the site broken down into sections: Joop thread--active projects (individualized), etc etc...otherwise its going to a tangle not a thread.

Was not sure if Monster.co.uk was just a product placement or not,
but decided anyway to hunt on there for any jobs advertised by Hanso.

I could not find anything so I decided to email them. The email and reply are below.
Have checked since I received the mail but still cannot find anything on there.

Hello Adam,

If you go to Monster.co.uk and type 'The Hanso Foundation' in the job
search field, they have advertisements with Monster. We cannot provide
customers contact details, other than what is on the advertisement.

Kind Regards,

Well, all this jibber-jabber about who has or has not read all seven million pages of this thread is nice and helpful, but no one has answered my question and I haven't seen it answered on any other site yet.

Does anyone know what the whitish overlay is on the Joop press release?

You know, this thread would only be half as long if you took out all the posts about people complaining about other people not reading all the posts in this thread before posting.

LOL. I also was interested in what the whitish stuff was on the Joop text. I took a screen capture to paint to mess around with - nothing. Decided to print it out and almost threw up when I saw what was there on the printed paper.

I have scanned the paper and saved the image to my photobucket account.

Hey! Thanks for giving me an answer I can use, rather than more complaints!

I kinda wasn't sure if you were yanking my chain on the printout thing, but I did the same thing and sure enough, there's the guy. And once you know what the picture is, you can see the shape of the white overlay does indeed match the highlights on the guy's face.

So is the implication that this guy's brain has been implanted into Joop's body? Is there a more sinister connection between the two?

Reckon we need to find his other book somewhere, not the fake site though.

To find the monster.com bit you have to go to the Employer section and do a sample search of the resumes.

If the search term is 'hanso' it comes up with three entries, one of which looks particularly relevant.

When you go to active projects and then to the mental health appeal link there is a space on the right to click that says Inquire today. It open a space that says tell us more about yourself. No matter what I put in there I get a session timed out message. Has anyone else figured out anything here?

Also has there been any mention that the profile of the pictire of Alvar Hanso really looks like that of Jacks Dad. Could he be on the life extension project and maybe just made to look dead for transport or something?

I could be grabbing at anything but the picture really reminds me of Jack's Dad.

Hi all,

In the introductory monologue given by the woman on the hanso website, there are points where the audio doesn't appear to match the movements of her lips, which to me implies that, at some point, they must have filmed her saying something else. I could be wrong on this, but with as well put together as the rest of the site is, it doesn't seem likely that they would miss something as simple as matching the audio and video tracks correctly. Can anyone read lips to figure out what she's really saying? Could be a waste of time, or could be important. If it's the former, I apologize in advance.

Thanks,
Decimalsystem

I just discovered something new on the http://thehansofoundation.org (http://thehansofoundation.org) website!

In the letter that I posted earlier, the Director of the Global Welfare Consortium is Jacques Maillot. His letter, Sept. 19th 2005, is very critical of the Hanso Foundation.

If you click on his signature you are shown another letter that is apologizing for the "heated and alarmist tone" of the previous letter. This new letter is signed by the new Acting Director of the Global Welfare Consortium - Peter Thompson.


Peter Thompson is an Executive in the Hanso Foundation.... simply put, when the Global Welfare Consortium started putting pressure on the Hanso Foundation, the Hanso Foundation simply replaced the Global Welfare Consortium's Director with one of their own Executives.

I just discovered something else interesting about the site. On the Worldwide Wellness and Prevention page, the hospitals that are named are actually real hospitals. I just got a kick out of the fact that they used real places. And here's something really interesting. The text below came from a site that came up in google after typing in "Mogadishu Hospital"

About 13 cases of meningitis among under five and 11 cases among the over 5 years were reported in the same south Mogadishu hospital in the last three months of Sept. These cases of meningitis are identified when the weather/seasonal conditions are not favourable for any outbreak or abnormal increases.

In the letter, it talks about meningococcal outbreaks, but when you google meningitis and meningococcal, it reveals that they are basically the same thing. They even share a page on the CDC web site. I don't really know what to do with all this, but it's interesting, don't you think?

Kind of out of the blue, but I’m personally very interested in “Liddy Wales” from the board of directors. Why can’t we access their information? And why is Liddy’s picture missing of ALL the photos? Well, the first thing that jumped out to me is that if you mirror the d’s in Liddy, you get Libby. Granted, this is WAY out there, but there’s just a lot that’s not adding up. Especially concerning Libby’s connection with mental health, I also find it odd that the picture that seems to keep popping up is the man from the mental health page. And considering that...

...Libby is seen in the same mental hospital as Hurley and she’s kind of dead now, it leaves a lot of loose ends that need tying up

To me, it’s just a lot of coincidences. But it’s a whole lot of coincidences that could possibly add up. And besides, there’s always been talk she was an other. So who knows?

I tried Googling the hospitals.. but couldn't find them. Only Universities in the same area with the same name..

But I took note of where all the hospitals are located: Gambia, Guinea, Ethiopia and Somalia.. as well and the picture with a woman who is standing infront of a hospital in Rwanda. So all of these hospitals are in developing countries.

Take in the 'missing organs' puzzle.. and all of these places have cases of missing organs.. especially with children. They sell them to businessmen as charms which bring financial good luck. They only take the organs from children, and groups of people sometimes threaten orphanages to hand over a few kids every now and then. Do you think this is related to Lost (the show) where the Others have a habit of taking children..? The 2 from the tailies, Walt, Aaron, and a few select 'good' people? Do you think what they mean by 'good' = healthy organs or something? Am I out of my head.. yes.. but it's still interesting!

I will definitely keep the 'missing organs' puzzle in the forefront during this entire Experience.. it has to mean something!

Oh, and I know there is so much confusion, including myself; wondering which websites are legit, where to get clues, if the book Bad Twin comes into play yada yada..

Cute disney referance. Joop is experiment 626, just like Sitch in Lilo and Stitch.

anyway.....

During the phonecall...there was an advert for monster.co.uk...a job site...

now what happens if we take this as a clue instead of advertising...and realise that hanso is based in denmark....
