Neuro-News (of a sort)

Filed under: Weird Stuff-ology — admin0 @ 2:47 pm

Yellow-1 has apparently suspended operations until the 15th of September. I do not know when this went into effect.

A rather out of place note on the bottom of the screen claims no connection between Yellow 1 and Neurocam, which anyone who has read the Black Report will know is false.

The Monster in the Bottle Bin

Filed under: Weird Stuff-ology, Work — admin0 @ 7:18 pm

It was awful. It was unexpected. It came out of a bottle of Parrot Bay. It was*…The Monster in the Bottle Bin!

I was sorting bottles one day, clear in one bin, colored in another. In my collating, I sighted up a clear glass bottle, probably of Parrot Bay, that looked like it had some sort of translucent object in it. I thought it was a tissue someone had jammed in the bottle. (People tend to jam all sorts of things in glass bottles before they recycle them. DO NOT DO THIS.) As I picked up the bottle, the translucent object–which was as big around as the base of the bottle–came alive. Where I had only before seen blurry white, I now saw legs, spines, a pair of claws or pincers, and other things that make you go “eww…” It contracted itself enough that it could slither through the neck of the bottle, eject itself onto the cover of the clear-bottle bin, and scurry under the lid.

I was able to get a better look at it in the fraction of a second it was in the air. It looked somewhat like a scorpion without a tail, or an albino porcupine-lobster. Either way, I wasn’t fucking going near that bin until it was changed. I initially thought I was hallucinating, but I wasn’t going to take any chances.
I never saw that creature again, but it lives in my mind ever still.  That night, I went up north with some friends, and recounted the story to them. They had about the same reaction I did. It’s been about a month since I saw Lucifer’s spawn itself, yet the whole incident still chills me to the bone.

Oh, before I forget, a friend suggested that what I saw might be a silverfish. While it does have the same Satanic vibe about it, neither the silverfish or the house centipede have the claws/pincers I think I saw.

And what-the-fuck row 2 picture 4?

Clerical Work

Filed under: Weird Stuff-ology — admin0 @ 1:25 pm

I was able to quickly fix the numbering glitch in my May Day Mystery notes that I mentioned here through a judicious deletion of an entry that wasn’t a page ad (2-February-1988). I also fixed the error in the numbering system in the Recent Developments section where some packages/letters had the same number.

A Book!

Filed under: Writing, Weird Stuff-ology — admin0 @ 8:38 pm

I have decided to undertake a serious project. I will expand upon my senior project, writing a book that will delve into the May Day Mystery and bring the enigma to the general public. It will touch not only upon aspects of the Mystery but also upon those who took it upon themselves to solve the Mystery.

I’ve got a list of titles stocked up:

Raiders of SDB #668. (A play on Raiders of the Lost Ark.)
Bryan Hance and the Last Crusade. (A play on Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.)
The Wildcat Code. (Based on The DaVinici Code.)
Luther’s Pendulum. (Foucault’s Pendulum.)
Historical Madness. (The subtitle to the “official” May Day Mystery website.)
Methods of Madness: A Simplified Approach to the May Day Mystery. (Something  my friend Ryan suggested.)

This is going to be a huge project, and we all know how I am with projects…

I promise I will not fail you this time, though we all know how I am with promises…

Well there goes my filing system…

Filed under: Weird Stuff-ology — admin0 @ 1:40 pm

With the discovery of the 1-November-1983 ad, my entire system of cross-referencing the MDM anouncements goes out the window. None of the cross-references will now point to the right place. I’ve made a quick fix by denoting all references created today and after with the letter N, as in (N1a), so I will know when it comes time for revision which need to be fixed and which do not.

Also, the Wildcat Code website isn’t anywhere near being done.

Esoteric Tree

Filed under: Weird Stuff-ology — admin0 @ 1:16 pm

So apparently Esoteric Tree isn’t “directly connected” with Neurocam/Yellow-1. Or that’s what our new commentator says. It could be a deliberate misdirection. On the other hand, I could be overly paranoid. (At least tell me I got the Tree of Life reference right…)
Anyway, when I e-mailed the admin of the site in question, I was responded to in a quatrain in (mostly) iambic trimeter. The first three lines consisted of six sylables each, while the fouth was seven; the first two words of that line can be combined to maintain the rythm. (Total sylables: 25). I was also presented with a link to esoterictree.com, but the index page was changed. It must have been activated by me following the link. I was then directed from that page to a page with a flash movie of waves breaking on a beach (the subject matter of the poem). Soothing as it is, I can’t for the life of me figure out what’s going on. There appear to be footprints on the beach, and some sort of plant close to the camera on the right side.

“Stream” seems to have become a fan of this site, as he or someone who shares his IP address has visited this site daily of late (1 visit per diem for three days). He also uses Mozilla.

The greatest question to come out of this, though, is how he found this blog in the first place. I tried googling Neurocam, Nautonier, Yellow-1, etc, and my site didn’t come in very high in the results at all.

Neurocam Revisited

Filed under: Weird Stuff-ology — admin0 @ 8:54 pm

A new development has occured regarding the Neurocam-related phenomina. A commenter on a previous post by “Stream” connects the previously unknown website esoterictree.com with the Yellow-1 organization.

The Esoteric Tree website seems to conform to the layout of several sites we’ve seen thus far, being a mostly blank page with some sort of symbol. The sigil of the given site consists of two triangles surrounded by a symbol I’ve seen before yet cannot name (that is itself composed of two concentric, tangent circles. When the page source is viewed, two e-mail addresses are listed. Whoever answers these e-mails are empowered to grant access to the main page and the forums. A who.is look up of the site reveals that it is registered to someone who wants to be identified as coming from Washington, D.C, although that may have been the default setting, as the other data is left blank.

Esoteric Tree may be a reference to the Sephirot (or Tree of Life) from Jewish Mysticism. Sephirot have also turned up in regard to the May Day Mystery, and feature in Umberto Eco’s Foucault’s Pendulum.
The mystery continues.

[EDIT: I was too late to get any usefull information regarding “Stream’s” IP Address.]

The Amazing, Disappearing Neurocam

Filed under: Weird Stuff-ology — admin0 @ 3:54 pm

After having finished by senior project, I became rather bored of the May Day Mystery (yes, I know, my site isn’t up yet. Deal). So, out of curiosity, I began to investigate the Neurocam phenomina that I discovered along with the MDM. However, I noticed some of the resources were down. The Wikipedia article was deleted because it lacked reputable researched information, which I guess is true. An archive of the article can be found via the Wayback Machine. Also, a blog by one Tript says of its Neurocam Archives that “There ain’t no Neuro-archives and there never was!” Patently untrue, as it is referenced in a forum post here. I even managed to track down the archives, but for some reason it won’t let me access any of the pages right now from before it went offline.

Here is a list of some more Neurocam resources while I’m at it:

Neurocam: the website for the organization, not of much use at the moment. Archive.

Fiat NOX: A sister organization to Neurocam. How do we know this? It’s revealed in a document which will be shown later. Archive.

Nautonier: The umbrella organization that includes or person who is head of both Neurocam and Fiat Nox. Archive.
Yellow-1: Supposedly an opponent group to Neurocam. The Black Report indicates that at least some (if not all) of the Yellow-1 activity is actually controlled by Neurocam. The Archive is in-accessable.

The Black Report: (WARNING: PDF File) An alleged report from one Crispin Black to the Nautonier, detailing the direction Neurocam should take in the coming years. There are aspects of it that make be believe that it was meant to been seen outside of the “intended audience.” A Google seach for Crispin Black shows that he is a British intelligence analyst.
Neurocam is anti-prude: (WARNING: PDF) I don’t really know what to make of this.

The Neuroboards: A messageboard where Neurocam operatives can communicate. The boards themselves may be secure, but some of the files aren’t. If you right-click on the Neuroboards logo, you can access the entire image directory, which contains much more than images. That could not have been accidental. Among the documents are the Inducted Operative Code of Conduct, the IO Contract, and the IO Electronc Communication Equipment Use Policy. A folder contains an MP3 called the Pine Gap interview, which I have yet to listen to. The chart shows the organizational structure of the Neurocam family of organizations. I have no idea what the NCON file is. The UMS.txt file contains only “QISOODD”.

Yellow One Forum: Better protected than the Neuroboards.

“Entering the Shadowy World of Neurocam”: A news article about Neurocam.

Jumping on the Bandwagon: A blog by a former Neurocam operative. Another blog by him, consisting of one post.

Enjoy.
