Following The Helper [10.15.06]

Bree did say that Lucy is being sent somewhere else by the elders. Presumably, if Lucy is looking at these maps, it's because the elders are sending her to these 4 remote towns, Zavalla, La Crete, Adak and Wickenburg. Originally, Bree claimed she lived in a small town. She also was a counselor at a religious camp. These crumbs of information, along with her living in a commune in a small, small town in New Zealand all support the idea that her religion forms communities in remote areas.

And if she practices a fictionalized Thelema, which seems to be the case, it doesn't particulalry matter which small towns they pick.

I'm now leaning toward the particular towns being a meaningless distraction.

Hi Covians,

I agree with several others that there must be a clue in the geography here. Being a Space Cadet, I like the “out of this world” approach:

Keeping in mind that this up/down/North/South thing is a human construct, connecting the dots gives you a pretty close approximation of the Enochian letter “J” or “Gon”. This is obviously a shout out to our own JayHenry (and the world’s PDiddy, if we are to believe P has the time to participate here).

It certainly takes cojones to do what Daniel did. He obviously cares a lot about Bree. He’s been a pretty calm, rational guy in the past, but his fears are getting to him. This fear (or maybe little too much time with comic books and surfing the zombie site) may be combining with his cojones to kill brain cells. Use your head, Daniel, or you’ll lose it!

<edit add>PS “Gon” is referred to as Enochian for “I” or “Y” too. And “Ged”(another shape) is “G” or “J”.</edit add>

La Crete is in Alberta, Canada; North Topanga Blvd is in L.A. I can't figure out what the clues might mean. Topanga was the girlfriend on Boy Meets World. I hope somebody from the phorum goes to Adak Island in search of clues.

i've booked my itinerary!

I think he is trying to solve the *mumbles something about cryptographs* first before he shows us the pictures. I mean it doesn't take this long to upload them.

[noasinger]

Cryptographs? Is that like hex? If so, I think I know who the gamejacker was. PERU my ass!

[Alissa Brooke]

No, I didn't think you all were serious for about 5 minutes before I "got it". >.>

"Ole E. Anthony, founder of The Trinity Foundation, based in Dallas grew up in Wickenburg, where he burned a cross, shot Mexican heroine and grew his hair long. ha. Some say Trinity is a cult. Trinity exposes corrupt tele-vangelists."

I thought Ole Anthony grew up in Minnesota. St. Olaf, I think. Not that he's relevant to the Breeniverse (Trinity is a Christian organization/community)

Even though this is a slightly hokey twist to the plot, I'm enjoying it. things are actually happening.
Plus, in order for the format to work, we have to suspend some logic. If we're going to separate the breeniverse from our reality, we have to allow for the fact that the elders may never see these vlogs. Otherwise the story couldn't be told. suspension of disbelief. squared.

[noasinger]

Isn't Trinity Foundation actually the people who exposed both Lauren Stratford and Mike Warnke as frauds? They publish Cornerstone, don't they?

[hookedonmonics]

No, Jesus People USA (in chicago) publishes cornerstone. Trinity publishes The Door (religious satire) JPUSA (pronounced Jupoosa) is the one who exposed Lauren Stratford and Mike Warnke (also Bob Larson, to an extent- bob larson being the premier Protestant exorcist, who's whole ministry is about Satanic abuse, and casting out demons- even if he has to invent them first)
Trinity is mostly about televangelists like Benny Hinn- faith healers who get ridiculously wealthy on the donations of those "healed" by them. Or any person in the ministry whose bling is bought with the donations of the poor.

[jayhenry]

Looks to me like Trinity Foundation and Cornerstone are unrelated. The latter was published by Jesus People USA, according to its own Web site.

A 2004 New Yorker profile says Ole Anthony was born in Minnesota but grew up in Wickenburg, AZ. And although the trinity foundation has been labelled a cult, liked monics said, it appears to be unavoidably Christian (with no contemporaneous ties to Wickenburg).

[trash180]

St. Peter, actually. Then the family moved to Wickenburg. He's an interesting character.

It's going to be interesting to see how all these locations tie into the story. It seems like there could be something there, however it's just beyond my grasp.
