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

Amaziah Lachish: Further Thoughts After my initial thoughts on who exactly this enigmatic is, I began to ponder over what Hank Johnson had been theorizing about: Prime Trandimentional Objects, or PTOs for short.   "I suspect much of this has to do with a struggle for the control of what have been called 'Prime Transdimensional Objects'... original Artifacts capable of true interaction with Exotic Matter... Like the Shōnin Stone. The incomprehensible sophistication of the technology can't be replicated, but the form can.  They become purely ornamental as the original is lost, forgotten or destroyed: Future generations recreate objects in their likeness, and over time they forget the true power of the original artifact, but they remember that the form is somehow meaningful."                                             -Hank Johnson Is Lachish a MAGNUS? Could there have been a PTO in the Triangle, one he wanted to either activate or protect? Could it be possible that...

Watched Behind the Scanner.  First order of business today is to reserve a copy of Tycho's graphic novel. From all indications, we're about to learn the truth about the Niantic Project, and that will explain much of what followed.  Looking for Hank Johnson to confirm the imagery on the first panels that have leaked.   I have a suspicion that the events of Persepolis are the final phase of the plan that began at the Peshawar or before.   Still unnerved by the appearance of Devra. She's out there. In the portals.  I hope she contacts me.

As a truth seeker, I have a question... How does the resistance winning the anomaly ensure that the current leader of the enlightened, or whatever Jahan's title is, will succeed in her mission?! This doesn't seem to make any sense at all!  Can someone explain how it works out like this? If we're fighting this fight, no matter which side you fight for, shouldn't we be fighting towards separate goals. If the resistance win an anomaly and the enlightened get what they wanted anyway, why resist? If the resistance winning, gets the enlightened what they wanted anyway, why do they bother to put up a fight?

Keep in mind that XM is tripolar. #TuneIngress https://soundcloud.com/gab-android/shaped-a-remix

I've been thinking about the GORuck stuff, and don't understand what the companies are trying to do with these recruits. Hulong we haven't heard about at all. Could it be that the GORuck people are double agents, working for Hulong but infiltrated on IQTech? And if it were Hulong, would they be testing Dark XM on these recruits? Kinda scares me...

The Goal of the Shapers? "It's as if the planet is becoming a portal..." -unknown individual, The Beacons surveillance video. These simple words and a look back into one of my favorite series I read as a kid plus some slight musing on the matter may have helped me make an odd theory. Ok. So as a child, I read a ton of fantasy. One particular series I loved to read was called the Demonata series by Darren Shan. The 9th book in that series, Dark Calling, is where this theory began from. Without spoiling too much of the novel (except for one particular secret that is extremely relevant), it follows a character who possesses the power to see mysterious lights in his eyes. Moving the lights together with his hands allows him to create doorways to other dimensions. Now, in the book, he is confronted by a ancient being, a member of a race called the Old Creatures. "Earth was just one of the billions of worlds whose inhabitants developed intelligence with the help...

Congratulations, Enlightened agents! Put together all LightmanShards as you can. I'm receiving messages Lightman through the portal network. These messages are not clear, but as the Shards reach the targets these messages seem to take shape.

Who is Amaziah Lachith? It's a question that's been in the back of my mind lately. Not sure why but it is something I've been thinking about over and over. As we know, he was one of H. Richard Loeb​​​​'s informants black in the early days of the Investigation. Years later, mention of his name re-emerged by Misty Hannah​​, who was with him(Was it a planned meeting? Random coincidence?) in a location named the Bridgewater Triangle at the start of the Helios Anomalies. Hannah divulged that he was a Necromonic Researcher. Claimed that "He keeps talking about cultists serving some master, but there are very few particulars." I'm curious about why he was in the Triangle, which has had a rather odd reputation as being 'a site of alleged paranormal phenomena, ranging from UFOs to poltergeists and orbs, balls of fire and other spectral phenomena, various "bigfoot" sightings, giant snakes and "thunderbirds", as well as the mutilation of cattl...

Urgent unofficial Ingress Report There are Rumors about the new MUFG capsule around the world. Nobody knows, what the capsules can be used for and why they were developed. A recently in Bari discovered message of the missing researcher, Dr. Devra Bogdanovich reveals some frightening insights. The decoded message says, Dr. Devra Bogdanovich discovered, that the documents, whom have been found in Persepolis, are containing the description of a method for the mass production of a new weapon. According to their evidence, the currently missing Niantic researchers are working in a secret laboratory on a procedure for the mass production of white and black holes. They might be used to destroy unwanted portals or create them at will. Both, the white hole as well as its counterpart, the black hole, were first tested at the time of the Shonin stone accident. Estimates by Dr. Devra Bogdanovich assume the MUFG Capsule is needed for the storage of black and white holes. Item description: MUFG Caps...

Vorticism. Unstoppable?: Quote: The narrative of vorticism is brief. The word emerged in the press around June 1914, from the use of the term vortex. This seems to have first been coined by the American poet Ezra Pound, then living in London and a supporter of “vital English art”. He had used it to characterise the seemingly unstoppable twister of energy and innovation into which creative artists were drawn in pre-war London. http://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2015/jun/05/vorticism-wyndham-lewis-exhibition-june-1915-100-years-ago

Do Operation Essex has timeline of Ingress events? maybe somekind of website using TimelineJS or other existing timeline tools?

Now that the package has been safely delivered to Susanna Moyer​​. I feel it is necessary to share the known contents with the public as the Niantic Project​​ investigation has requested. It was indeed an epic and action packed recovery by the agents on the ground. https://plus.google.com/+NianticProject/posts/A6GFG7Fxdbq #NigelMission

I picked up media (New: Peace) from Speakers Corner yesterday afternoon, does anyone need/want it before it gets recycled?

Hidden in plain sight: 1.)    I'm sure no one missed that Stein Lightman's shards are red. 2.)    I'm equally sure no one missed that the Janus figure is running a bit of a ying/yong effect with the eyes and face. 3.)   Has any one remarked on the colors of the Janus figure for Persepolis?     The colors seem to be teal (blue/green) and orange (red/yellow).   (Please inform me if I missed the initial discussion)
