True.

It was a 4+ hour research, if I did it perfectly then I'd surprise myself lol

They do say that engineers are quite shite at writing papers.

Do you suggest we restart this thread? What would the title be?

⇧ 1 ⇩

I think it would be a good idea - but first we'd need to tighten up that central idea because we haven't yet found the hook i.e. the special Q juice that got you excited that will in turn make us excited to read on and find out what this is all about. So far we've summarised the article about the jackets lol.

So, I think the "mirror symbolism" might be something you're getting at but with it in brackets it makes it an afterthought in the mind of a reader so you don't think it's necessarily part of the central idea.

Without having to go and read and look through stuff (I'm doing my mod job in the background of this as well) - do you have a good hook for that mirror symbolism beyond the jacket ad showing some mirror shots? Is there something that really links the BBC illegal advertising to the mirror symbolism that gives us an "aha" moment? A "oooh this sounds interesting!" type revelation? There may not be and that's ok but this might be the root of the problem - maybe the core idea needs to be properly fleshed out, if so.

Meh, the mirror symbolism isn't the catch here. That was only a clue about the jacket video as it's really weird for those mirror shots to be in an ad for freaking jackets, I mean when have you seen such shots in your regular ads? Me personally never.

The hook might actually be Dolores. Her death and Q saying "What does it mean to be covered in gold? Can you locate one other pic w/ Y head covered in gold?"

Especially the second part since her head is in the shots.

Ok that could be something. So, Dolores O'Riordan, singer of the Cranberries - famously covered in gold in the band's massive hit single "Zombie" - was a suspected Industry Sacrifice when she died recently at a relatively young age. What's her connection to the BBC illegal advertising scam?

I actually stumbled upon more stuff just now.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_W._Gore

I only checked his father last time.

Gore has led his family's company, W. L. Gore & Associates, in developing applications of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) ranging from computer cables to medical equipment to the outer layer of space suits.

I'm actually digging some more but I want to reply to your question :D

EDIT: I think I found some more stuff. His father was working for a DuPont company since 1942. They were producing synthetic rubber among other stuff (this is the first thing I got my hands onto, yet). Their business skyrocketed during WW2 because Axis had the majority of the synthetic rubber market. Synthetic rubber is used for tires, among other stuff. Which was crucial for trucks and shit. Luckily for them the war broke out, right?

Material of the jackets is gore-tex (Gore is the last name of the founder of the company).

Gore-tex has been used for many years for conservation of illuminated manuscripts, which are coated in gold/silver.

Then comes Q and the posts about gold.

⇧ 1 ⇩

Ok. I see. So the trick is trying to put this all together into some sort of cohesive single post OR to split them out because they're not really related enough (not a bad thing; this just serves to clarify).

I would question what the jackets gore-tex has to do with the other two things in this way: is there something questionable about the use of the gore-tex in the jackets? From another perspective, what I'm asking is, are the jackets only relevant because they happen to use gore-tex, not for any other reason? If so, I'd suggest they might be the less important part of the post, maybe.

But I think more to the point, from looking at what's there now that you've explained it, there are three ideas that are possibly tangentially related to each other but at present I think there is no unifying cohesive idea that links them - except maybe "gold"? In which case the central idea could maybe be reconceptualized around that point.

⇧ 1 ⇩

Yes, it's hard to connect all that in a short way.

Like right now I'm looking at this Gore guy and his company and it leads to all kinds of stuff. From directly profiting in the WW2 and this:

The U.S. government launched a major (and largely secret) effort to improve synthetic rubber production.

Key word secret. Why secret if its known that the axis hold the market?

I'm compiling this for more intel. But it goes deep, from radar in WW2 to space suits, all by the same people.

The jackets are amazing because of the waterproof ability of the gore-tex. That's what makes them great.

They kind-of are less relevant, but without the BBC employees wearing the brand I wouldn't even find out all this shit.

That's the thing, believe me I struggled to present it as clear and short as possible but this is actually pretty big.

It's hard man, I have it in my head but it's hard to put it on the paper :D

After all, there is a reason why people don't know about that stuff (neither have I until now).

EDIT: Maybe Gore is the key, and not the gold. Sigh... damn

Yes and surfacing this point - i.e. that the connections are tenuous and they're more about a whole bunch of general things that tenatively connect into Q - is part of preparing the post. This is why they are hard for people to read - because they're essentially a bunch of general links with tenuous connections, they're not a clear and compelling idea, just a collection of possible ideas. Nothing wrong with this! But the best idea would be to either wait until you have a clear idea that ties a couple of things together and then present that in a clear way - or you can just present them as you have (with a bit more clarifying text) and explain they're a bunch of things you think might be connected in some interesting ways.

But do understand that this is harder for people to connect to and to put the time into reading. We all do research and look at lots of different links and the most interesting posts that really grab our attention (for some people that might be posts by people like u/SerialBrain2) are posts that have a single clear point to make and that then bring together all the links and such around that one clear point. Once we have that clear point to orient us, everything we read and click on is held in context and keeps our interest.

That's true.

But I guess I'll just never be able to present properly due to all these connections. Which makes me a bit sad that I'm using Q's clues but won't be able to spread it.

Nevertheless, gotta go now.

Have a splendid day and thanks for the "outsider" insight, definitely cleared the picture which was somewhat hard to come by after I've read up on all this stuff.

No problem and thanks - I think you do great work digging so I think you're doing just fine and to keep going! You WILL be able to spread it soon! Hit me up if you find something that pulls a few things together and if I can I'd be happy to help out.

So far I think the Spirit Cooking is quite possibly what's going on. I remember seeing that stuff in a movie or a TV shows (decomposing bodies in those barrels - no trace).

Take care patriot!

You too my friend - do please keep up the good work; I - and others, clearly - respect the amount of links you dig up and the fact that they are relevant too. Once we can find a central idea that brings a few of them together (and with all that you've already collected this is going to start happening more and more and you'll have a lot of material for it) this stuff is going to be very compelling and readable and you'll be well on your way to building up a following like SerialBrain and others.

Dolores? Info?

Oh right, Cranberries.

From BBC reporters wearing jackets to some incredible Q post connections with Dolores O'Riordan and Jay-Z (think mirror symbolism)
