Boeing Searching for Information on Jackblack12.info
June 18th, 2009A Boeing user (host: slb-proxy-03.boeing.com, ip: 130.76.64.16) conducted the following Yahoo search: jackblack12.info
The Boeing user visited the following Cryptogon page: Operation Blackjack Part 2 is Up. I mentioned jackblack12.info in a comment on that post.
OK, I’m having a lazy brain day. Anyone care to help me interpret the barcode sitting on the jackblack12.info page?
William, I don’t see a barcode. I see a picture of what looks like some kind of warehouse with an American flag at half-staff in the foreground and a panel truck at right with something like New C***** Truck T*** painted on its side.
The image itself is http://jackblack12.info/Cadwal_files/0011011100110011001110100011011000110101001110100011011001100100001110100011011000111001.jpg
That binary string translates into ASCII as:
73:65:6d:69 — which looks a bit like the formats used to write network addresses for certain protocols.
However, that result is pure hexadecimal, so converting again to ASCII while treating the colons as separators we get the result:
semi
Semi? Semi-what? At left in the picture there’s an aqua-blue object that might be a semi-truck cab.
What the hell am I looking at here? A numbers station?
Worse, there are two widgets below the picture that appear to be countdown timers.
01002230148
01:002:23:01:48
at ~10:01 UTC
02114034541
02:114:03:45:48
at ~10:01 UTC
The trailing digits are synched,and the countdown is base-60, strongly suggesting a timekeeping purpose. 2 January 2010 and 11 October 2001 are suggested. For something.
I haz a scr33nshotz. Fine me if you want ’em. I don’t wanna look at this anymore.
Fascinating. Either the data is changing over time, or the data is different on a region by region basis, or both.
The barcode was viewable as http://jackblack12.info/ge1.jpg and was visible on a page called http://jackblack12.info/Operation_Blackjack.html
Others have already decoded the barcode, which is now unavailable to view anyway. I can’t see the image you linked to either, I get a 404.
The decodes that have been done are at http://www.nowpublic.com/strange/operation-blackjack-foreshadow-whats-coming#comment-390906 and one of them posted this:
I found after decoding the binary ticker which is now only a upc code bar now it translated to this 76 97 100 121 32 77 97 99 98 101 116 104 32 116 97 107 101 110 32 83 84 79 80 32 80 114 105 110 99 101 32 111 102 32 68 101 110 109 97 114 107 32 99 111 110 102 105 114 109 101 100 32 108 111 99 107 32 83 84 79 80 32 79 116 104 101 108 108 111 32 116 105 109 101 100 111 119 110 32 97 119 97 105 116 115 32 83 84 79 80 32 77 97 108 118 111 108 105 111 32 116 105 109 101 100 111 119 110 32 97 119 97 105 116 115 32 83 84 79 80 32 65 101 109 105 108 105 117 115 32 108 111 99 97 116 101 32 111 114 100 101 114 32 83 84 79 80 32 65 110 116 104 111 110 121 32 108 111 99 97 116 101 32 111 114 100 101 114 32 83 84 79 80 32 67 97 100 119 97 108 32 97 119 97 105 116 115 32 112 97 99 107 97 103 101 32 83 84 79 80
i then inputted that into a morse code translator and got this

if anyone can decipher this please do so.
Someone then converts the hexadecimal 54686973206973207468652066696e616c207761726e6720

ASCII to text conversion apparently reveals: Lady Macbeth taken STOP Prince of Denmark confirmed lock STOP Othello timedown awaits STOP Malvolio timedown awaits STOP Aemilius locate order STOP Anthony locate order STOP Cadwal awaits package STOP
What’s visible on the site right now at 21:37 BST (GMT+1) is http://jackblack12.info/Antony.html which shows an image of what looks like the grassy knoll. My instant reading of this is an Obama assassination attempt, with a Marc Antony figure to step up once ‘Caesar’ is taken out. I always had Hilary Clinton down as a Lady Macbeth 🙂
But then, I am a conspiracy nut who cannot resist shiny things, and I’ll eat all this stuff right up and want more, which is probably all this nonsense was ever designed to do.
Enjoyable timewasting, if nothing else.
