Here's how it looks for me (UK):

I can move the map so the letters could be aligned to anywhere.

I still see the countdown here in the States.

Anything odd in the source code?

I have now this message even, though the countdown here was not yet expired.

Thanks for the cache clearing shortcut. have the message now and looking at source code, though I don't really know what I'm looking for/at...

Odd that the title is now in Russian.

I solved the code. It says...eat more bacon.

Kidding. It is going into phase 2 of whatever marketing ploy this started as.

I posted a few pages aback, upon researching the phone # in the who is info, it leads to a well known internet scammer being sued by the FTC for internet fraud.

I'm on hold on the phone right now, waiting for a *sales representative* to take my call in the order received. I'll sit on hold until a person answers so I can try to find out the name of the company this phone number goes to. When I first called it just said *Thank you for calling our sales department.

Still on hold with recording telling me to stay on the line for assistance.

Some are suggesting the whole thing is viral marketing for a movie etc. But with the recent events in Ukraine surely it would be seen to be insensitive to have it in Russian as the site is almost suggesting an attack on the US.

Thank you for doing this....its fun to investigate...even if turns out to say "Drink your Ovaltine"

I finally got an answer from Brian the sales rep on the phone number.

He told me that the phone # I called, and that's been listed here in this thread, is for his company named *Domains by Proxy*, that the registered owner of the last election site purchased a privacy domain through them and go daddy from. He of course, wouldn't tell me anything else about the last election site other than that the owner of it payed them for privacy.

Poor Brina did seem all bent out of shape and agitated, that his company is being researched by forums all over the internet, as I told him, and that Fox news even mentioned it.

Sorry, that's the best I could get on the phone call...

Whistleblowers use this!! Basically it hides their identity and a fake information gets put up

Ok if you look at that 20x 25 grid...there are some decent size words in there...like Ready...Would....etc....which is a decent coincidence...but also seems silly to be as simple as a word search...

The place marker in Denali National Park sure seems random...

The letters when viewed from source code are a word search... I've found a few.
