Clue #23 - We Think Persephone = Rachel
From Andy on 5/6:
"I've reverse engineered all of the shockwave files and extracted code from them...and...
There is one thing I have learned that seems important: in the source for the letters section, they reference the red text that is printed "The Hanso Foundation, setting world speed records for subverting authority." with the name "RACHEL." This could mean that we will see the name Rachel pop up sometime in the future, either as Persephone's real name or another hacker of the site. I encourage everyone therefore to keep an eye out for the name Rachel on Lost."
EDIT:
5/8 email from Andy:
"So, while I was waiting for the major May 8th update and obsessively checking the last-modified dates of each of the swf files, I noticed that Joop_2.swf was modified this morning (the file that deals with the letters and whatnot). I took a look at the file and noticed nothing
different, so I downloaded it and looked through the code.
It turns out that the ABC people must have seen your post regarding my info on Rachel, because they've renamed the function in the script so the word Rachel isn't there anymore. Apparently, they didn't want us to know the name yet, and it was important enough to conceal that upon finding that they'd left the name in there and I'd found it/you posted it, they promptly stripped it out.
So, it's not much, but it's an update - and it shows that ABC is watching you."
Everyone needs to give due KUDO'S to my man Andy! It looks like he may have given us a cool sneak peak at what is to come...

I think it will pop up. Here's why I think the site is fake though: Watch the Gary Troup interview (clip 3) on the topic further down on the page. They mention a Valenzetti Equation based off the work of a famous mathematician. This makes me think someone saw the name on the map, and decided to make a site without really knowing the whole story. Is it possible that there is a Valenzetti Foundation? Yes. But, due to the evidence, I would have to say someone jumped the gun to try and trick all of us.
Anyone checked out the changes in http://oceanicairlines.com???
So far, it's the only thing that's been changing in a timely manner.
White squares to red.
Red squares to "Time is UP"
Words scrawl across screen (some are "attack" "compound" and maybe "deception")
Question mark.
Red Reset blinks.
8:15 blinks on the screen.
If this is a "clue" that should be e-mailed...oops. I can't be bothered right now to e-mail.
Yeah i see the oceanicairlines site as being someone home-brew type site. The other oceanic-airline site was a neat thing during 1st season, but it's been torn to pieces. Therefore, I would ask that we not continually bring up anything from that site (unless it changes) because as of right now I don't see it being part of the game.
if you visit www.thedharmainitiative.org and click on the icon, you get to watch the film reel clip shown in the bunker. (not sure if this was previously mentioned or not. still can't log in to the site.)
If it's not part of the game... I wish the people in charge would hand the experience over to whoever's running "oceanicairlines.com." Again, it's the only site that's been progressing at a decent pace.
It shouldn't be neccessary for EVERYONE to view a site or some info. Hence the reaching out to different fan groups, etc. With the waiting a month for new episodes, I wish they'd learn a lesson and RAMP UP THE EXPERIENCE!
you can type in to send joop the message "hi joop" then the screen changes if you connect the circles by clicking on them a letter comes up about a new strain of disease.
wasnt the http://oceanicairlines.com site for another lost game for season 1?

On the Valenzetti Foundation website.
This page pops up when you get a 404, along with the text:
INSPECTION PRE-INDEXING blinkDO NOT INDEX!/blink
and page title:
ERROR IMMEDIATE REDIRECT ADDRESS LOGGED FOR POSSIBLE SURVEILLANCE
And besides, this picture is too scary to be true. Or Fake.. Your call.
