lord_casek 1,125 Posted June 20, 2009 anyone else following this? very strange and very very odd. the comic that started it off http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/culturepicturegalleries/4220575/Blackjack.html the hex code and such that people are finding http://www.davidicke.com/forum/showthread.php?t=69172 the site with cryptic shit in it every day...hex and binary used http://www.jackblack12.info viral marketing? a tip off? just some cat and mouse game some dipshit is stirring the interwebs up with? dude is using .mil computers to hide his identity. /b/ is on it now http://img.4chan.org/b/res/142549209.html#142556481 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lord_casek 1,125 Posted June 20, 2009 ugh 4chan people ugh they just jumped on it recently. it's all over the web right now. some are freaking out, some think it's just a joke, some think it's viral marketing to the nth power. i like puzzles, though. i'm following it. btw: one of the codes warns of a military exercise "ardent sentry" that starts monday, the 22nd. all very strange.

lord_casek 1,125 Posted June 20, 2009 probably some new JJ Abrams movie using .mil computers? probably spoofing them, but still... i need to edit this: i'm not geeking out on some conspiracy shit, but this does seem pretty elaborate if it's viral marketing. seems like they coulda made the code harder than base64 and binary. kinda lame in my opinion.

lord_casek 1,125 Posted June 20, 2009 yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaahhhhhh dude, really... you know its fucking fake ok, here is what i know: the website (blackjack12) is registered to the Telegraph, the author of the comic is anonymous for now, blackjack12 has some interesting timers and is using weak hex and base64 code, also some literary references, the computer whomever is using is spoofing military computers, there are a couple of references to the real "ardent sentry" exercise that are going on this weekend, and i really like a good mystery. that is all. if i am disappointed, i will send this guy/guys a box of human shit and a bottle of thunderbird (hopefully luring them to touch the poo).

R@ndomH3ro 464 Posted June 20, 2009 dude, i hate to burst your bubble. But its fake Ardent Sentry is an exercise that they do every year to exercise notional threats (mostly natural disasters if I am correct) Where I work we are doing the same thing...floods and humanitarian shit. Nothing to get all paranoid about, come on Casek...I knew you where looney but not this looney Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looks like everything is going to be fine in the first hex code on a card featured in the comic it reads: 74686973206973206e6f742073696d706c7920656e7465727 461696e6d656e74 translated “this is not simply entertainment” btw: it's also a terror drill. NORTHCOM, homie. i also stated that i'm not all conspiratorial about this shit. i do find it intriguing, though. i also like codes and mysteries. this isn't much of an exercise in cryptographic skill, though. just fun.

lord_casek 1,125 Posted June 20, 2009 here's something strange from that david icke forum, poster says he could cite no source for it, though " There is not some sinister agenda with Blackjack. It's a piece of fiction. A group of us came up with the idea after seeing that Fallout 3 graphic of DC after a nuclear attack. It was just going to be London but then expanded from there. Nobody told us to do this nor did some secret agent sidle up to us and suggest it. I'm happy to answer any questions anybody has about Blackjack. For the record, there is some inspiration from Jericho (a great show which is much missed) and, yes, some of us are concerned about the authoritarian tendencies of western governments. But does that mean that I think they're going to set of a load of nukes in a massive false flag attack? Hardly. What I do think is entirely possible is that as the global financial system worsens, we're going to find our liberties further and further eroded. Crisis is always presents a great opportunity for these people to make life more difficult for all of us.

I know what it is dude, you know who you are talking to. Its an exercise for notional threats, terror and humanitarian. One or the other, sometimes both. Nothing to get all worried about. Like I said every major command does one. When I worked at Southcom we did one for notional threats in South America. quit being a douche Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
