There are not many photos of Hubert Farlowe in existence... Same guy?

There was a bit of discussion in the Essex hangout about Niantic Sensitives manifesting and how that might relate to the recovered shards and other phenomena we have seen.  I am copying a few snippets as conversation generators.  Please add your thoughts 1. Why were there two sets of Devra videos as the Finale was playing out (as Mike Wissinger says - both quantum states were active during the anomaly) with one disappearing at the end?  Why did the same thing not happen with Jarvis and Stein?  Are there "two" Devras? 2. Why do the Devra EXOTIC videos exist and there is nothing for Stein. Jarvis was able to leave messages in the portal (his manifesto for example) 3. Does the number of shards (percentage) influence the ability of a sensitive to communicate (such as Paul School and Hank seeing/hearing Devra) 4. Can Devra/Stein/the others ever "leave" the portal network?

So all the major XM corporations seem to have elaborate facilities and processes to produce the items that are hacked from portals all over the planet. The question is how are they funding all this elaborate infrastructure. Let's hear your theories

Community Improvements and Suggestions It's hard to believe that Dr. Edgar Allan Wright first started this community in October 2013. Our enrollment has surged to 1,453 in July 2015.  In order to continue providing the best education from Dr. Wright and our individual study groups, I would like to invite you to leave your feedback and suggestions for community improvements in the comments below. Thank you for being a valued investigator, and here's to many more great classes ahead! CC: J.J. Ramirez flint dille  Joe Philley Brian Rose

100% UPDATED: ABADDON ANOMALY SERIES OVER, RESISTANCE WIN 13-12. The Investigator's Arsenal  So, throughout the course of this Investigation, I've encountered people who wanted to start but didn't know where to turn. As a result, I've created this list of sources that Investigators commonly turn to in order to make sense of what's going on. It should be known that these are sources that have been credited and verified as canon or legitimate. There is usually some way to confirm these sources and the information that they release as legit. i.e, the Ingress Report(IR), the Niantic Project G+ page or other means.  "Everyday, more would be leaked to me... a slow drip that was turning into a flood. That flood of cryptic, intriguing, worrying information continues to this day. At first, I wasn’t sure where this was all going. Now, if my suspicions are right, in the words of Bob Seger, “I wish I didn’t know now what I didn’t know then.”                                

Why judge what you understand when the future lies within the past of what you are trying to control? I am not saying anyone is wrong or right I just want you to think about that before you judge anyone else.

Fellow Essex investigators, Again I come to you speaking for the Anti-Magnus. I return with a new understanding. A new metaphor that, among other things, explains why messages from us still belong in the Fiction department of Essex and not anywhere else. To make it as plain as possible, Essex represents the conscious mind of the group, while Anti-Magnus represents it's unconscious mind. Content from the unconscious is much more acceptable to the conscious when it comes as fiction. So fiction be it, then. Don't be afraid of your own shadow, Essex. We are not here to eat you. We are here to be eaten by you. We are the only food that will give you an actual body. Cheerfully, Gab Riel of the Anti-Magnus

Puppets as a recurring theme. Quote: Being possessed by a computer isn’t too disconcerting, she later tells me. “Today was the first time I thought, ‘Eugh, I’m just a body and nothing else’.” http://www.bbc.com/future/story/20150717-the-people-possessed-by-computers

So almost 2 weeks after they are released the new designs for Platinum and Black badges are now in the wiki in full rez. As usual feel free to use them.  (btw any idea why they did this , and why only to those 2 levels ? ) https://niantic.schlarp.com/investigation:apps:ingress:badges

The philosophical Enlightenment focused on reason, individualism, and skepticism. This is at odds with the loss of self advocated by the JARVIS entity. I suspect the alternative faction glyphs integrate individualism by flipping the alignment of an implicit embedded Self glyph.

I'm starting to consider the idea of expanding recruitment of new Reporters. With the lull being caused by the absence of Anomalies, I believe now is the time in which we could use Essex News to prepare and inform the general public of the status of affairs in the world of Ingress.  If you know any people that are worthy candidates, please respond here with their name. Please inform them of the requirements needed to be a Reporter:  Must be able to make Missions in Scanner (LVL 7 or Higher) Must be a (active?) member of Operation Essex (I'll punch in that person's name in the search bar in the community and see if they come up, if not and they're willing I'll request them to join, recommend them to be active in community) The full debriefing for Essex News can be located here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1V4Wy2_CzLT9xBEtpjMd6M7uByrb3EtpB2Opam6QWmd0/edit?usp=docslist_api

I hacked this last night  http://storage.googleapis.com/objx/lrg/viatorjourney/bcvzKDejBA1dpQ63trdgvy6IKAWxDfNkX3cdNkCtPn1Eos5zG30XAj7tM4nqVCur.png From a portal in Brewer Street, Soho, London.  Its entitled "Young". Tracing my steps it was one of the two "John William Polidori" portals https://www.ingress.com/intel?ll=51.511686,-0.135282&z=19&pll=51.511846,-0.13581 https://www.ingress.com/intel?ll=51.511686,-0.135282&z=19&pll=51.51155,-0.135307 which ties up with this..  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Vampyre Any ideas what it relates to? http://storage.googleapis.com/objx/lrg/viatorjourney/bcvzKDejBA1dpQ63trdgvy6IKAWxDfNkX3cdNkCtPn1Eos5zG30XAj7tM4nqVCur.png
