That’s when the drug treatments began; I was put on anti-psychotics that ensured my academic performance was below average for the next three years of my life.

Yes, of course, blame it on the drugs. Is it possible that perhaps you required the anti-psychotics? Is it possible that perhaps you have some illness that has created this fiction in your mind? I tend to apply Occam's Razor in such situations. Which, I wonder, would be the simplest explanation: mental illness or a vast government-alien conspiracy?

If the government couldn't hide Watergate, what makes you think they could hide this?

It was only when I was finally taken off the medication that I discovered my empathic ability. It has served me well ever since.

It was only after you were taken off the medication that a mental health professional prescribed that you suddenly found you were special? Perhaps you should discuss this with a mental health professional that you trust. I am sure that you are a good person with the best of intentions, but you really should exam your own situation critically. It seems to me that there may be a problem here, and the government, the NSA, and the aliens have nothing to do with it.

This post finds me in a run-down hotel somewhere in Kentucky.

I thought I eluded them saturday, but I was wrong. The past 36 hours have been a nightmare trek on side-roads as I jig-sawed my way through 5 five states. I won't be staying here long. I can't afford to stay in one place anymore. It's just too dangerous.

Saturday night I barely escaped capture. I can only describe the experience as surreal.

I woke up from my fitful rest to find my hotel room suddenly filled with a brilliant white light. I could see shadows of figures outside the door; short beings with oval shaped heads. I hastily arranged pillows under the blanket to make it look like I was still sleeping, then ran for the bathroom. I managed to grab my lap-top and duck out through the bathroom window.

As I did, I heard a loud bang from inside the room, as if the door had been forced open. by then I was in my underwear and had to find an all-night laundromat so I could steal some clothes. I spent part of the night behind a trash dumpster, waiting until I could go back and get my car.

Since then it's been nothing but driving. My credit card has been cancelled, so I'm waiting on a money transfer to go through before I take off again.

I don't have time to respond to Meninblack properly, but I will say this.

I will find you and put an end to this slander campaign you are waging against me and my associates.

One way or another.

You seem to think you can act with impunity. You will soon find that you are wrong.

I imagine the mistakes are just cut and paste errors that I don't want to look for, but you get the picture...

Also, why does no one ever use even simple encryption for this sort of thing. It makes things much more interesting:

uiyjtglgrhdnirxliulweuzltmyg

(codeword is reanj for those who want to take a shot).

OK, I'm stumped. No idea how to break that.

It's a variation on an WWII cipher. Basically, it's a simple letter replacement (with space added, for 27 characters). The codeword gives you a replacement matrix by writing the codeword out on one line then the rest of the alphabet in order below it (skipping those letters already used in the codeword).

Code:
reanj
bcdfg
hiklm
opqst
uvwxy
z_

Then you write an alphabetical replacement matrix in columns (in the same shape as the other). You can also do a simple row-by-row, but then space doesn't become encrypted.

Code:
agmrw
bhnsx
cioty
djpuz
ekqv_
fl

You then just match up one to another (since you are decrypting you go from the second to the first:

uiyjtglgrhdnirxliulweuzltmyg

"u" is the 4th letter in the 4th row which matches "s" in the other matrix. You can also see that "l" matches up to space (_), making "l" the character that breaks words:

Siyjtg grhdnirx iS weuz tmyg

By happenstance, "i" is the same in both matrices, so those can stay the same:

SIyjtg grhdnIrx IS weuz tmyg

Continuing, you find the decrypted message to be:

SIMPLE ENCODING IS JUST LAME

This encryption method would only be effective if codewords were changed often and the messages were very short. Otherwise cryptanalysis will give you a letter distribution that will allow you to crack it. For example, the letter E is the most common letter in the English language, so you can find the replacement for E by seeing which character appears most often.

It's pretty easy to come up with simple encryption schemes like this. For real encryption, you can download GPG to encrypt messages using asymmetric encryption, which allows you to receive messages that are near uncrackable.

Thanks for the Tutorial.

Ah yes, the very model of a sane, rational individual. How long until we see Mr. Jarvis on Most Wanted after he kills an innocent person whom Mr. Jarvis believes is "one of them?"

And this is the person stating he will deliver "the Truth?" Sad, really.

This will be my last post until the book is released. It seems the threats I recieve just get worse and worse with every post I make.

To Meninblack, I can only say this:

Speak what you will about me. I know the truth, and soon others will know it too. I'll not be stopped by your smear campaign.

I have posted a product demo HereTo give those readers who are more open-minded a glimpse of the information I am dedicated to revealing to the public.

To those of you who may be downloading this product; read at your own peril., I can't claim responsibility for any harm that comes to you by the people who wish to keep this information a secret. Good luck to us all.
--------------------------------------------------------

I wish to thank everyone who have been reading these posts and contributing to the ongoing "mystery" surrounding the release of this book!

Meninblack: It was alot of fun!

The product Demo is just a_brief_glimpse of the content you will find in this 100+ page book.

I hope you enjoy it! :D
