1) Have you gone through the other steps yet? The clues have to be done in order. First, sign up for the newsletter; the password is “breaking strain”. If you want to start from the beginning of the webmaze and haven’t done so yet, go through our blog to the beginning of May (or click on only entries that are tagged “The Lost Experience”)… these will give all the clues found to date.

2) If you have done the other clues already, try clearing your browser cache. It’s in the options of your toolbar; get rid of temporary files and history. Then, you will have to go back in and start from the beginning, from “breaking strain” again.

3) If you did this and it’s still not working, some people find that their local ISP caches as well. Try instead loading anything.thehansofoundation.or... this makes it seem like you are starting from the beginning.

4) Another step to try if none of this works, is downloading Flash again.

This is a transcript of DJ Dan’s latest podcast:

KEY - D=DJ Dan, T=Tanya, M=Milton, Th=Thorn

Announcer
Coming to you live, from Area 51 (pic of Area 51 is shown)
*DJ Dan singers*
You’re listening to DJ Dan, shutting down the man

D - Milton from Fresno, please tell me you’re not still here

M - I’m still here, DJ Dan

D - Tanya, you’re fired.

T - I’ll leave when you start paying me

D - hahaha, okay, now Milty, before I kick you off, what were we saying?

M - I was saying that I think Persephone (painting of Persephone shown) is just some hacker for one of the Hanso foundation’s competitors.

D - Oh, so, uh, you think the Hanso foundation is uh, what, some kind of victim in all this?

M - No, no, I’m just saying how do you know they’ve done anything wrong?

D - How do I know? How do you know you want to stay away from the business end of a skunk, Milty? How do you know if Mrs. Withers is going to hand out pennies every Halloween? You just do. SHUTDOWN!! Alright, time for DJ Dan 101. Don’t you get it people? The Hanso foundation and their competitors, they’re “the man”. And “the man” don’t hack “the man”! It’s simple, folks. All “the man” want is for you to keep quiet and keep kicking your hard earned wage to him and his moon-class cronies. And I’m not talking corporations and governments, I’m talking global mega corporations, meta-governments, people whose scope goes beyond nations, beyond planets. Don’t you see? They can control what you think, what you feel, what you see…then they can do anything they want. They’re hiding the truth because if we know what they know, we’ll SHUT EM DOWN!! They keep us busy doing nothing. Thorn from Seattle, go ahead….

Th - I don’t get it DJ Dan, how can you talk about “the man” when you’re the biggest corporate sellout of them all! Your website is covered in ads from Jeep, Sprite….

D - and Monster.com. So what? You ask me, sponsors are a pretty small consession to make for my voice to be heard. I mean, who says I gotta wear sackcloth and walk around barefoot to fight “the man”, huh?

Th - these are more than just sponsors you have….

D - look look look, Sprite is a competitor. These days there’s more beverages than ever. So why do I like Sprite? Cause it’s delicious. Cause I like lymon. Jst saying it makes me feel cool. And what’s wrong with helping Americans get jobs? How do you think I got this job? Monster.com, that’s what the internet is good for ConspiraSpies; finding loonies like me to appeal to the hearts and minds of loonies like you. And my Jeep? I love my Jeep Compass. Do I ever go offroad? No. But, do I live with a sense of security knowing my four wheel Jeep Compass will get me and my family to safety when the bombs fall and the highways buckle? You bet your Agnew I do! But enough of that. As long as we’re teaching DJ Dan 101, I want to talk about something else. So, I go to the old mailbox this morning, and I find a letter from Jessica in Reno, Nevada, and I quote, “I listened to your show on rapid weight loss, DJ Dan, and I don’t understand why you hate science so much.”

T - oh snap!

D - oh snap indeed, Tanya. How many times do I have to repeat I do not hate science! It’s science that lets me broadcast from the road, moving from secret location to secret location, with on ly my laptop and the wind in my um….scalp. My trusty mic, and of course Tanya, who, lord knows wonders science herself.

T - It’s called a gym, DJ Dan

D - no, its called you versus gravity, Tanya. According to research established by scientists, to understand the mechanics of the human body, and what a body it is, Tanya.

T - aw, shucks, DJ Dan.

D - However, if science offered me a way to look like Tanya, with just a snip of the genes and a wave of the scalpel; would I take that offer? No. No way. And trust me, ask my wife, she’d much rather have Tanya coming home to her than me. She says I walk heavy.

T - Get carpet

D - that is with carpet! Look, you see Tanya, “the man”, people like the Hanso foundation, they’ve made a statement. Science and technology are the answers to every single one of our problems; its just ‘push a button, we’ll be okay’, but we won’t be okay. Jessica, to answer your question, I don’t hate science, I’m afraid of science. I’m afraid of the consequences of science that moves so fast, that we don’t have the chance to stop and think and analyze what’s going on. We have blind faith in the people who, who already render the product we bought five minutes ago obsolete by ruling out version 2.0 three minutes ago. So if I get that surgery in gene therapy and come out looking like Tanya, do they care that I melt into a hoodwinked puddle in three weeks? No, cause I’m LOST. I’m a corporate recall, I’m a mediary step between Tanya and the Tanya disco triphop remix. And why? Because I stopped asking questions. This is DJ Dan making way for his hotter, younger replacement, DJ Dave.

And this is a transcript of the anonymous tipster who calls Persephone:

Man: …a retraction. I was forced to make it…they bought the paper that same day.

Persephone: The Hanso Group did?

Man: I’ll swear on any Bible…they bought up my newspaper to cover up what they did to those people…
Now nobody will talk…I’m going crazy []…I’m gonna lose my job…I did a little digging…same thing happened at a hospital last year, another one of those Hanso foundation hospitals. The reporter that did that story…he died in a car crash…yeah, sure. Some car crash….
Man, I wish I never heard of these Hanso people…they’re sharks…that’s what they are…

Persephone: Have any Hanso executives got in touch with you?

Man: Hey, hey, look…what did you say your name is?

Persephone: You can call me Persephone.

Man: Yeah, yeah, look, Pesephone…I…I gotta go.
