If you want to run with the "SO's last 3 posts deleted/in forums you can't access" idea, a quick Google of Richard Colligan brings up lots of stuff about scientology and drug rehab but no specific person of fame that I can find (I'm not insinuating anything, just listing facts.) I have no idea what this relates to.

Richard Belzer seems to be a comedian and well known conspiracy theorist, probably going to be brought in alongside Dave Rabbit and Johnny Anonymous or something similar.

And it looks like the ATS crop circle thing was supposed to be a surprise... oops Way to blow it MajorM . I don't think it will be a big prank on members, contest, or anything like that.... it looks like they are just planning to really ramp up publicity/advertising in November to:
1. hype up people who are already members with great new stuff and elaborate (crop circle) ads, and
2. attract a lot of new members.

Uh oh, we've let the cat out of the bag? (Bad pun based on your ava. heh)

Well, if I come back later this afternoon and find I've been banned, at least I'll know why.

He was online and is toying with us!

Darn you, SO! Darn you to heck!

Lol, either that or he has confiscated a case of Springer's Makers Mark and trying to get rid of the evidence!

All I could get was a partial translation:

ST, it's gibberish. It's not meant to be anything but place filler.

I'd never heard of it before, but you learn something new every day.

{edit to add}

That's how I found it. I got the partial translation too, and went to translate the individual phrases that were being ignored by the translation program. When that failed, the first thing I put into Google was "loren ipsum." And I got the explanation.

That SO is a wily man. But he really should have known us better by now -- we see a clue, we are going to snoop.

I would like to give my study, on this exact subject.
Eric Jan Phelps stated, with a reference on his original Vatican Assasins video.
He showed in text that Guy Fawks worked for the Vatican. IMO It is really V for Vatican.
I believe this movie is refering to the black, and red figure, the symbol. V is really the Vatican power, fighting tho old system Us. They are telling you a backwards message here, its very cryptic and only if you know certain things can you piece this together.
political protesters, as wellas lead NatPortman is in a prison camp, tortured, all the key mind control areas.V is a lone nut savior.Stole all the Art(nazis) is underground(D.U.M.B)..In the end its entertainment, but it is also the same idea implanting formula over, and over since Dr.Green.
Side Note. Matrix is again a example of an backward message. Neo is fighting God's machine.Neo (the new man)Smith is US. It is all encoded right in front of our eyes, while they laugh at us.

Add: also "Nov 5 1955" Is the day Dr Emmit Brown's flux capacitor time travel was invented from the Stargate Movie "Back to the future".
Yep, Nov 5th is a important encoded symbol.

I do not believe V is for Vatican. Specifically it is shown to represent the number 5. It was his cell room number, but was written in Roman Numerals, and 5 fits the theme of 5th of November. Furthermore, V is for Vendetta, I saw that somewhere in the movie , but might it also be backwards?

If you want to associate the V to Catholicism Then C would work, P (Pope), R (Rome) various letters of names of Popes. So overreaching is possible

I saw the double barred cross on the state sign as a comment of organized religion. It was also black and red, so both sides of the conflict could fit the color association. This makes assignment difficult.

I do agree their was an underlying theme of organized religion as a control mechanism of the population. V could also symbolize religion, I can see associate him as the returning judge of those that are evil, risen from death to be the vehicle of 'Vengeance is Mine'

Strength threw Unity, Unity through Faith, but I believe this 'Unity' is the following of man and evil, not the Churches use of Unity as the body of Christ. oh, I am not Catholic, not that that matters.

Basically I see the state church indications in the movie as a false church of man used for control, something the Catholic Church in my opinion also was at times.

Your comment about layering as in Matrix I agree with in principle, I wrote a over the top one on Buffy that did the same thing, I also found very odd clues while doing, for fun, over the top word associations. Yes they seed many messages in pop culture films.

I actually found a CIA front PR firm just with following a theme, then keying off of a phrase 'lead to' I put it in Google (adding -2007 -2006 -2005 etc to exclude forward dates) and twice first search first hit led me directly to the same theme I purposed. OK I am drifting of topic.

Guy Fawks worked for the Jesuits, and or Vatican.England celebrates the failed bomb by the Jesuits, by burning a effigy of Vatican dominance.The double cross is a symbol for the House of Lorraine.

V is numeral used in the Holy Roman Empire, and yes does mean 5 like the satanic pentagram it is symbolising. Alan Moore is telling you something with V. It is more than just surface in that guy.He would not even put his name on the movie it was so manipulated by Joel Silver and Wachawskis who twisted his original text. DWT

I was hoping for a game but it looks like something bigger....

So tell me do they celebrate his attempt, remember the 5th as in V, or are they celebrating the fact that he failed, power structure just making sure people know rulers rule.

The establishment celebrated it as a terrorist who failed. Indeed, the establishment sought to instill a tradition every 5th November hence, in which the effigy of Guy Fawkes (the bogeyman) was burnt on a bonfire, someone to despise and jeer as his effigy is burnt.


Of course, there are those of us here who commemorate the night of the 5th November as that of someone seeking freedom from persecution and a tyrannical government, and see the burning of Guy Fawkes's effigy as simply the burning of a inspiring torch, representative of someone who dared to stand up and say "Enough."

The third point is V. great movie, it defines the 5th of Nov for a new generation. If this is its meaning, WHERE IS MY MASK!!

It's about much more than the mask

you already have your masks

Certainly was a lot of fun when I was younger. Groups (today would be called gangs) of children would go around knocking on their neighbours doors asking for "a penny for the guy" With the children was clothes stuffed with paper or leaves to make a man and usually a mask around the head.

In my family, this guy was then placed on top of a bonfire, lit and then my father and fathers of our friends would light the fireworks. I suspect most of the fathers had had one or two drinks when the fireworks were lit. And of course, there was the food. Good hearty food..hot dogs, thick soups and of cource ice cream (In November!!!)

Only as I got older did I realize what Guy Fawkes night was all about, and hey I still enjoy a good firework party!!
