Text clues
John Ferminger
The following text was pieced together from images on the case file pages for John Ferminger: "[a]nd the probable course of natural select[ion]". An additional unplaced fragment reads "We shall best."
The text appears to be a snippet from The Origin of Species by Charles Darwin, notably the passage:
- We shall best understand the probable course of natural selection by taking the case of a country undergoing some physical change, for instance, of climate. The proportional numbers of its inhabitants would almost immediately undergo a change, and some species might become extinct.
Moira Waag
The text found on Moira Waag's Psychological Evaluation belongs to Marx and Engels' "The Communist Manifesto". The passage reads:
- A spectre is haunting Europe — the spectre of Communism. All the Powers of old Europe have entered into a holy alliance to exorcise this spectre: Pope and Czar, Metternich and Guizot, French Radicals and German police-spies.
Moira's interview transcript, however, features words that appear to belong to another work entirely since they do not occur in the Manifesto's text. From the words found, it is suspected that the text references is John Joyce's Ulysses. Proof and a passage for reference would be welcome!
Observations
- There are a number of guesses and beliefs that "Judson Ogram" might possibly be some sort of anagram, but this is yet to be confirmed.
- "Judson Ogram" can be altered so that it reads "JUD sonogram." A sonogram is another word for a spectrogram. Spectrograms of various Year Zero materials have yielded numerous clues and hints. JUD can mean the Islamic organization Jama'at-ud-Da'wah. JUD is also an abbreviation signifying a Doctorate of Canon and Civil Law -- in otherwords, a Doctor of both governmental and church law. This points to the seeming unity of Church and State in the Year Zero world.
- The newspaper clipping in Attachment #2 talks about recent flooding due to Hurricane Boaz. The hurricane's name begins with a 'B', indicating it is the second hurricane of the year, assuming the hurricane names are assigned by the same method in year 0000 as is currently in use. The event occurs in February, indicating that the hurricane season now stretches well across year boundaries in 0000.
- The police report mentions television crews and newspapers were present. This slightly contradicts Angry Sniper's monologue that there is no remaining free press.
- In the conversation between Dr. Gantry and John, John turns Dr. Gantry's wrist over, and Dr. Gantry makes a comment about "Mark of the Beast." Given the recent nerochip developments, this hints that at least Dr. Gantry has a nerochip implanted in him.
- As clear as it might be to some, it is worth pointing out the similarities between John of Boston and John the Baptist. Recall that John the Baptist was the prophet that cleared the way for and spoke about the coming of Jesus. John of Boston has been serving a similar role, although more focused on the Presence instead of a human embodiment. Also, John the Baptist drew people to him and his message, much as John of Boston did with the inmates and the people. John the Baptist was, near the end of his life, imprisoned for his speaking out against the rulers of the time, and was eventually beheaded for that act. John of Boston met a similar end, except with a bullet to the head. As a final note, there is a sense of irony that the text hint derived from the background images is tied to Darwin's Origin of Species. More information about John the Baptist.
