The GWC Letters on TheHansoFoundation.org

Spoiler

As Andreas just announced, the official LOST webmaze TheHansoFoundation.org has just been relaunched. It relies very heavily on flash, so make sure your flash player is updated with macromedia; it also helps to have a fast connection. For those who are having trouble viewing it, I am going to include a big Easter Egg from the site; for those who want to figure it out for yourself, please be advised that this could be considered a spoiler.

The secret password from the U.K. phone number is “breakingstrain”. After going to Joop’s Corner and sending him a message, you’ll be connected then to “Persephone”, a mysterious individual who will communicate through a computer chat-like interface, and then see pictures of petri dishes with growing cultures; after you click on the circled colonies, you’ll see the following letters. I’ve retyped them from screencaps because the flash “moving spotlight” images can be hard to read. (I cut this article short so that it doesn’t take up too much blog space, please click on the link to read the rest of the first letter and the entire second GWC letter)

To: Dr. Roderick Johnson, M.D., Ph.D., Clinical Director,
Centers for Disease Control

From: GWC Executive Committee

RE: Violation of Ethical Guidelines / The Hanso Life-
Extension Project

CC: Mr. Peter Thompson, Vice President, General Counsel,
The Hanso Foundation; Hugh McIntyre, Vice President and
Communications Director, The Hanso Foundation

Dr. Johnson:

We have received word of an unfortunate and most alarming
issue in the past days concerning research operations by
The Hanso Foundation in the sub-Saharan region of Africa.
Sadly, we have exhausted our mandate as a watchdog
organization and must petition you for a formal
investigation.

It has come to our attention that a new strain of
meningococcal disease has been reported in the coastal
villages of the United Republic of Tanzania. This strain
is particularly alarming in that it has successfully
breached the simian/homo sapiens barrier.

As the enclosed documentation and correspondence
demonstrate, we have repeatedly asked the Executive Board
of The Hanso Foundation for assistance in determining the
possible correlation between the outbreak of this
transgenic disease and the research being conducted on
primates in their Experimental Station in Zanzibar.
As our requests have been met with utter and complete
disregard, we feel we have no other choice than to demand
your immediate intervention.

As the Hanso Foundation is using primates to research gene
therapies intended for human use, the correlation should
be obvious…

Considering the alarming nature of this outbreak and
the mounting death toll it is imperative that The Hanso
Foundation immediately open the doors of their
Experimental Station for inspection and, should a link be
found between their work and this disease, cease and
desist their activities immediately.
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.
Lives are at stake.

Monsieur Jacques Maillot
Director General, GWC Executive…

Global Wellfare Consortium 25 September, 2005

Switzerland

To: Dr. Roderick Johnson, M.D., Ph.D., Clinical…
Centers for Disease Control

From: GWC Executive Committee

RE: The Hanso Foundation Life-Extension Project

Dr. Johnson:

Please consider this a formal apology for the heated and
alarmist tone of our previous correspondence, as well as a
formal request for the withdrawel of former Director General
Jacques Maillot’s request for an intervention into the
affairs of the Hanso Foundation.

In the time since Monsieur Maillot’s letter, GWC’s
inspection team has been welcomed with open arms into The
Hanso Foundation’s Experimental Station in Zanzibar. Our
thorough examination of the Station has made it clear that
the benign, non-invasive research being conducted there
could not have possibly resulted in the outbreak of a
transgenic virus.

Because we appreciate the CDC’s willingness to intervene
when lives are at stake, the last thing we want is to abuse
our close relationship with your organization — or sound
alarms before the need is absolutely clear. Once again,
please accept our apologies, and our appreciation of your
diligent response to our correspondence.

Mr. Peter Thompson, Acting Director General
Global Health Consortium

THEN, AFTER CLICKING ON SIGNATURE, IN RED BLOCK LETTERS THAT OVERWRITE THE LETTER, AND SCARY MUSIC SHIFTS:

The Hanso Foundation, setting world speed records for subverting authority.

  1. I logged on to the newsletter thing using Desmond as the username and breaking strain as the password and Persephone wrote a message saying that I was logged on and that I should check things out but that she had to go, then the site reverted to normal. I then went to Joop’s corner and wrote “persephone” and hit enter - that took me to the dishes and later to the hidden letters. It appears the site works in different ways.

  2. Interesting, Andreas… I wasn’t aware that the login name you use makes any difference. I’m probably going to play around with it some more today…

    Job or someone who speaks French, can you please translate the first reply message? Thank you…

    If you are referring to the first comment to this post, it’s Italian. I don’t really speak Italian, but I speak Spanish and am pretty good with languages. A rough translation would probably be something like this:

    “During the start of Lost season 2 in England, there was a tv commercial for The Hanso Foundation containing a number to call (audio from the answering machine on TheTailSection) that lead to TheHansoFoundation.org.

    The site is completely redesigned and has hidden secrets and easter eggs. You can communicate with a certain Persephone (password: breaking strain), and letters from Global Welfare Consortium will be seen.”

  4. This is not french

  5. I got to thehansofoundation.org, and finally got to the petri dishes and letters. I did not get in through the Newsletter, I got in through the “Joop corner” by typing in the “password.”

    I noticed a couple of things. The Petri dishes look very similair to the Hatch Door Map. Especially with the circles and lines connecting them, and the center circle in red. Looked a lot like the ? on the map.

    What about the “watermark” (the red blotch in the upper center) on the letters. I thought it looked like an (the) island. Anyone else noticed this or am I thinking too much?

  6. Thanks for the translation Andreas, and thanks for the correction, KevinG, you’re right that you get the letters after you leave a msg for Joop (I was doing a bunch of things at once, and forgot what part the letters came from; you can only go through this section once). I’ve changed it in the blog.

    On the other stuff, I’m not sure about those particular connections at this point, I think some of it may be a bit of a stretch.

  7. Hey now that I think about it more the Petri dish and map is a bit of a stretch. Specially since this gmae is for the UK as well, they don’t know about the map yet. And if memory serves they just learned of Hanso and Dharma.

  8. GWC’s…

    Did anyone else catch that Document 1 is from the Global WELLfare Consortium and Document 2 is from the Global WARfare Consortium? Or is that a typo?

    I can’t get the Hanso site to do jack! Could one of you who’s had success confirm that it still works?

  9. Found: Website still works. Just checked it out.

    Did anyone else stick around in Joop’s Corner after the you viewed the two letters? The webcam start showing the same lines as when persephone talks with with you, then other images start to bleed through. I couldn’t make anything out, but at one point what looked to be fuzzy letters appeared on the right side of the cam. Has anyone else seen this and figured anything out?

  10. I noticed something interesting while visiting the website. It says that the Life Extension Project is at the heart of what the Hasno Foundation is all about. Is this why ‘the others’ are so interested in children? Perhaps Ethan was performing Gene Therapy on Aaron.

    Just thinking out-loud…well actually thinking while typing…but you get the idea.

    It’s a typo. I’ve fixed it in the transcript, it should be Global Wellfare Consortium. My guess is that GWC is Lost’s World Health Organisation / WHO.

  12. Andreas wrote:

    …or a telling Freudian slip. :)

  13. And I just can’t get the site to give anything up. I’ve tried “Desmond” “Persephone” and “breakingstrain.” Nothing.

    Since this isn’t a tech support site, I’ll just sulk on my own. But PLEASE keep posting new findings so that I can at least read about it!

    Nevermind the big bald guy… I got it.

  15. LOL! I’m really sorry for the typo, everyone (warfare for wellfare)… that was quite a Freudian Slip (and polar opposite meanings, too)! Sorry bout that, I didn’t catch it after I read it over. Thanks for correcting it Andreas.

    Found, I believe its the “Sign Up For Newsletter” section that is the one that asks for the “breakingstrain” password. Then, I believe you go back to Joop and it reveals the clues. I’m having a little trouble remembering details, since you can only see the new clues once (the site appears to log your browser cookies). When you return to Persephone the next time, she tells you “No new messages”. As the site advances, we will probably get new msgs whenever it updates.

  16. it is as you’ve said, Cecilia. I’ve scoped the letters over and over. I can’t wait to see the new episode. (I don’t have a TV, so I have to rely on the kindness of a co-worker and catch up on Thursday morning. It’s the only TV I watch. Literally!)

    Two other small things that I’ve noticed about the Hanso site:
    1. After visiting the GWC letters, the type on Joop’s Corner appears to be faded, like a printer that’s running out of toner (WHO’s an IT guy?). That might come out as some design, but I can’t make anything out.

    2. In the top pane of the Mathematical project, the names of the African locations are whited-out.

    Predictions:
    -Future “secret passwords” will let you see the Board of Directors bios.
    -One of the Board members name is “Liddy” and there’s no picture… anyone else smell “Libby” there?
    -We’ll eventually be able to inquire more about the Mental Health project

    I’ve spent too much time there already. :)

  17. I did not see any one talking abot the Executive BIOs.

    Has Any one had any luck getting in to the Borad of Directors? I can’t figure out what the password and login might be? Tried “breakingstrain” no luck. Let me no if anyone cracks it.

  18. Found: Yeah, I also think there’s a second image behind those faded letters on that page…good observation. Unfortunately, I think we’re going to have to wait for some new code to crack it.

    Did you notice that Joop’s face is superimposed with a second picture as well when it goes dark? It’s the doctor on the page of the Mental Health section (the white haired black gentleman with a stethoscope).

    Remsleep: I think we’re going to have to wait for a new password before we’re able to unlock that section. I don’t think anyone will find passwords just by guessing…

    Has anyone been able to get an open line on the U.S. clue? The phone number is 877 HANSORG ; it’s been busy the last 2 hours. If anyone is able to get in, please post, and I will do the same.

  19. By the way, another clue. Go to the world map, you will see 3 dots over African cities (all of which cover sub-Saharan Africa, an area where they have real problems with meningococcal outbreaks, also known as the “meningitis belt” to CDC folks).

    But there’s another nonmarked area, that’s over the Bermuda Triangle region. If you click on that, a blank dialogue bubble pops up. Click where the blank is, where you would ordinarily see words. You’ll get an ASCII code. If you do a number-letter switch on these numbers, it spells out:

    M/I/S/S/I/N/G

    O/R/G/A/N/S

  20. “But there’s another nonmarked area, that’s over the Bermuda Triangle region”

    Yeah, nice find

    “You’ll get an ASCII code”

    that’s not ASCII. It’s just A=1, B=2…

  21. (Sorry for the 3 posts in a row, btw)

    …Just wanted to share. Early news that’s coming back from the net connections are that a few of my friends who were able to get through the phone line through borkchat… are saying that the msg is exactly the same as the U.K. clue (they have checked it against transcripts which were prepared by brits who heard it early this week). So it seems we’re not getting different clues yet… so far. I’ll keep you guys posted if and when I hear more.

  22. Where is the world map?

  23. Has anyone been to the “Mental Health Appeal” and been able to find anything out from the “inqire today!” button. I can’t seem to get it to do anything.

  24. has anyone put in “Libby” as the login, cause i did and the password i used was “breaking strain” something strage is going on … it kind of freaked me out.

  25. Mark–I’m no programmer, but I was told that the other symbols (not the number codes) on the outside are ASCII code. I’ll try to get someone else’s screencap for that later.

    Allie — No one appears to be able to get into the Mental Health page without getting timed out. The world map is under Worldwide Wellness and Prevention Development Program.

    jb — it doesn’t matter what you use as a login. You will get the same msgs. The key is the password, not what you use as a login name, I think.

  26. Got through on the number…

    It is a company answering machine for the Hanso Foundation, then it goes to a COmpany directory, ie Press one for Alvar Hanso, two for.. and so on for each of the board members. I pressed one for alvar hanso and it goes to a french or some foriegn language recording. It seems to have a glitch and then skips to Peter Thompsons Verizon Voice mail where a woman talks about the Korean offshore project. Peter then is heard ripping the phone away and he yells at you about that he will prosecute anyone who threatens him, and then he says namaste. and it goes quiet.

  27. ok so i have a friend who works for ABC in advertising and had a hand in making some of this stuff (this project was done by their advertising people which gives you an idea of the point of it) and wouldn’t give me any specific info, but did give me some interesting clues. He didn’t know what tonight’s clue was so when I asked him for the password he named a few of the passwords that are to be… one was taco salad and another was the hatch numbers 4 8 15 16 23 42 rearanged… he wouldnt tell me in what order… so i expect these to be answers to future passwords

    he also made an offhand remark about finding clues on monster.com and verizon, both of which are mentioned in the phone message, but i have been unable to find anything about this on either site… can someone else try and see if they find anything?

  28. Has anyone noticed the Login next to the RSS symbol in the bottom right hand of the Hanso website. If so, has anyone been able to do anything with it?

  29. If anyone hasn’t reasearched it, If you type in the numbers as a latitude and longitude coordinate, you get a location that is near the coast of Nigeria. I looked up the location of Zanzibar, and it happens to be a group of islands off the coast of Tanzania. Nigeria and Tanzania are on the opposite sides of
    Africa.

  30. On the press release page of the website, the word miracle is a link. However, it doesn’t do anything when I click it. I copied the link and put it in Word and the code is asfunction:miracleLink

    Can someone else try clicking on it and see if it does anything?

  31. I noticed that on the Mission Statement page of the site, the logos of the active projects underneath the actual statement are not accurately indentified by the full names of the projects. Look under the line of logos and you’ll see that the Educational Outreach Imperative is listed twice and is a substitute for what should be Electromagnetic Research Initiative. Something that people consider to be the purpose of the Lost island.

  32. And I overlooked and realized that the Educational Outreach Imperative is a substitute title for the Mental Health Appeal, which also is not listed. The Educational OUtreach is not listed as an Active Project either so I feel there is a connection between these three projects that is important to the show.

  33. Allie – I tried the “inquire today” link under active projects – mental health appeal – VIK institute and wrote a few things but each time it reads “sorry connection timed out”

    Ben – I tried the link from the word miracle in the press release for the WWPDP, no response.

    Under Newsletter…. if you look at the map (upper right hand side) there is a location marked by the red dot that is not marked under the main WWPDP world map that marks Hanso’s developments.

    Then if you go under active projects – mathematical forecasting initiative in the upper right hand corner the article begins with COPENHAGEN, DENMARK…. which is exactly where the red mark is placed on the world map in the newsletter section.

    Significant? I don’t know

  34. I noticed the login and rss buttons… you can see them by right clicking show all… I also checked out the config.xml file (http://thehansofoundation.org/config.xml)… in it there is the text “last edited by darwin@darma” commented out (maybe a typo by a lazy web dev)… there are also commented out links to “content_contact.swf” but that file does not seem to load anything…

  35. I also found the site geronimo-jackson.com
    It is not up but Google has a cached page… the source is the following (Meta tags show they are signed to “locke and key records”… there are other Lost references in the Meta information)

    Geronimo Jackson 2006

    Macna Carta cover shoot, outside Nashville,TN.
    We are currently in the studio recording new tracks for our upcoming self-titled EP.
    A Brief History
    Geronimo Jackson” was formed on the University Of
    Michigan campus. Our first album “Macna Carta” was released
    by a tiny independent label; so if you haven’ heard of us, it’s okay!
    We are trying to get the rights back to make the album available as
    part of our current project.
    The Geronimo Jackson “Sound” was a reflection of our
    times, somewhere between Zepplin and 3 Dog night. Trippy pop grooves
    with a tad of pre-disco funk. Our new songs will show that, while we
    all went on to pursue more down to earth
    endeavors, we continued to grow musically.
    Keep checking back for updates! We are hoping to be
    able to offer a few tracks from “Macna Carta” that wound up on the
    cutting room floor!
     
     

  36. Did anyone else notice on the Global Welfare Consortium Letters on the Hanso Foundation page that Peter Thompson one of the execs of Hanso, but also signs the second letter as an officer of the Global Health Consortium?

    I’m not sure if this is a typo or intentional, but Global Welfare Consortium and Global Health Consortium are two different things.

    Hi Ben,
    I saw that but was not able to log in. Whatever I tried, got the invalid user name

  38. I am also starting to think the word namaste has a meaning to it besides just have a good day

  39. Maria wrote:

    It does. It refers to (among other things) the the inner light of all living things. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Namaste

  40. Ok if you go to thehansofoundation.org/ and get to the main page here is the procedure to find this login field:

    Right click on screen.
    Choose “zoom in” option
    Right click again and choose “zoom out” option.
    Now you should see that your cursor is in the shape of a hand.
    You should be able to “pull the screen up” by clicking and holding the mouse button and scrolling.
    The login field is at the bottom outside of the screen view so pull the screen up.

    I could not find a username that works and i tried. Good luck…

    Elvis (NJ)

    PS. There is also a link to the left of the login field marked “RSS” that has a strange error:

    XML Parsing Error: undefined entity
    Location: thehansofoundation.org/feed/th...
    Line Number 17, Column 26:Joop the Orangutan’s 105th birthday
    ————————-^

  41. Elvis, the RSS and XML thing is actually nothing strange. RSS is a technique used for delivering website content to RSS-readers. Read more about it here. The XML Parsing Error shows up because the RSS feed is not properly coded.

  42. May 5th,

    If you type something (anything you desire) into the newsletter sign-up you get a new screen … very odd.

    I also found this link on another blog: thehansofoundation.org/content...

    Once the green screen loads, right click and hit play

  43. Not sure if anyone’s seen this

    www.valenzettifoundation.org

    VERY interesting

  44. Sorry if this has already been discussed, but did anyone go to the “board of directors” link under “executive bios”. One of the board members is a “Liddy Wales”. They do not show a picture. Could this be our very own Liddy from the Island? If so, she must be a mole, even from the beginning in the mental hospital. Aparently from the Hanso website, they are interested in healing the mentally ill. Was that hospital a Hanso facility? OMG!

  45. Info on Hugh McIntyer’s phone number found on press releases…

    Apparently Libby (not Liddy) is on the island, but their names are very close, and why no photo in the Hanso site? Has Libby revealed her last name on the show?

  47. hm…my friend just told me, because i did not see the episode, that libby has recently died. so yeah…she said it might not matter much now. but if it was libby then i guess we wont be figuring out who liddy is unless hanso wants us to. or persocom helps.

  48. So, I found out yesterday about this Hanso Foundation and I have been serching through it. I have uncovered the two letters and PERSEPHONE. But I cant login at the Board of Directors or can’t inquire at the Mental Health page.

    Also I got through on the phone line 6 times this morning. I tried all the options. There isn’t much, just some good acting to get people to try to figure out the Hanso Foundations secrets. This is pretty cool though.

    Anyways, if anyone finds anything about the RSS sign in, the Mental Health page “Inqiure Today” or the Login at the Board of directors, can you let me know?

    Thanks

  49. Oh! And also, there is a text box under the JOOP’S CORNER sign (on the left hand corner of the page)

    Thanks again

  50. did any one notice that in episode 2, seson 2. when sawyer tries to swim to the other bit of raft, you see low angle shot of the shark from under water. if you look really hard, you can see the dharma industries logo. cool or wat?
    does sugest that the sharks are under their control???

  51. bingham, we know, we know.

    Guys… on the phone msg. For those of you who don’t want to go through all the individual phone msgs, here is the whole thing on YouTube:

    youtube.com/watch?v=OW6143UkHS...

    If you leave a phone msg for Hugh at this time, it will say the mailbox is full, but you can leave your number for his pager.

  52. if you highlight all the text on the Oceanic website this appears when you copy it then paste it into notepad:

    If anyone should find this message, please get word I’m alive and stranded on an island somewhere in the South Pacific. Please send help soon. Things are bad. And they’re getting worse…

    I survived a horrific plane crash and am stranded on an island somewhere Northeast of Australia and Southwest of Hawaii. In the event that I am never found, please forward word of my fate to my parents.

    I am also starting to think the word namaste has a meaning to it besides just have a good day

    in a greeting/closing it roughly means “i honor the divinity inside you”

  55. I didn’t see anyone mention this yet, but I apologize if they have. I was looking at the website today & on the Home page, there is a press release link dated 5/5/06. If you click on it, it pops up a new window with a letter from Hugh regarding “the disruptions” to the site and says they are being fixed.

    You can send him an email from the link on the letter. I’ve done this, but haven’t received any response yet. It also lists a phone number for him in the Seattle area, but I haven’t tried to call it.

    Also, if you “select all” to highlight the page, you’ll notice in the bottom left, an area with no text, but you can click on it. If you do this, another window will pop up (with persephone.thehansofoundation.org being the website) and it only contains the following string of numbers all in one row across the page:

    72 65 83 32 87 73 78 32 72 79 83 84 32 80 67 32 73 78 32 78 73 76 32 85 82 71 69 46 32 56 44 32 110 111 116 32 49 32 97 110 100 32 54 46

    Does anyone have any idea what these might be - a numeric code of some sort? I really just didn’t have a clue, but figured someone out there might know (or at least have plenty of theories!)

    That is ASCII. It says “HAS WIN HOST PC IN NIL URGE. 8, not 1 and 6.”

  58. I just discovered something, and I didn’t see anyone mention it. Click on executive bios, and then on Alvar Hanso. Below where his picture is, there is a date of October 28, 2003, underlined. CLick on it. It takes you to the globe to show where he supposed ly travelled and then asks a question whether he is hiding. Persephone appears again. Let me know if anyone dicovers anything hidden there. I didn’t have much time to look.

  59. Hanso Foundation is their client:

    Very interesting find Maria!

    For those of you not finding the link, you need to “sign up” for the newsletter first and talk to Persephone.

    According to this new information, Alvar Hanso has not made a public appearance since 2002.

  63. also, if anyone can figure this out:
    oceanic-air.com/seatingchart.h...

    OK, I am getting back to work now - this is too addicting

  64. valenzettifoundation.org is a FAKE website. It was made by a fan. The Valenzetti Equation is a book by Gary Troup. There is no Valenzetti Foundation.

    Which also means the Global Paradigms Corp website was made by a fan, also, because it says it works with the Valenzetti Foundation, which isn’t real.

  65. regarding this lot

    I translated it and this is what I make of it:

    HAS WIN HOST PC IN NIL URGE. 8, not 1 and 6.

    Edit: After looking around a bit, I found that a commenter at thelostexperienceclues.blogspo... decrypted the same sentece I found into “Log in at THF.org May 1 This safe for now”

  67. Hi guys, I just found this site, and the thehansofoundation.org/ site.

    Gee this is getting addictev. I just saw something interesting in MARIA’s post. I left it running and found an Morse code at the end.

    … .- ..-. . –. = SWFE9 ???

    Also, is there a known code for Doctor Thomas’s mystery box?

    -Namaste

  68. Me again…
    Just to show you how addicted I was, 10 minutes ago on the 15 minute mark, the clock uptop changed to read OB:EY

    I clicked on it, and it took me to a website http://www.sublymonal.com/

    After clicking around to figure out… CLick on the screens multiple times to activate them. I got:
    Code : Heir Apparent

    I clicked again and the site logged me out.
    Regards

  69. The code heir apparent is for the text box that now appears in Dr. Thomas Mittlewerk’s bio. Very interesting movie plays with more hints
