new clues and an Ipod

Today we had a grand time with the countdown and the clue came early. The first thing we saw was a vid of kara, and here is the transcription, it was also the content of an email some people recieved:

Members of the Circle. This is Kara. As you may already know, I contacted Professor Abraham several months ago about one of the original Books of History.
At one time I possessed one of the original Books of History, but it disappeared. I met David through my research on Project Showdown, and I convinced him to help me find it.
Some believe the books are merely a childish myth dreamed up by Thomas Hunter. But I can tell you, they come from another time, but they are very real. I've seen their power firsthand and can assure you life and death dwells within them.
Last week, David scanned and uploaded half of his research to the WIKI section of booksofhistory.com. Before he disappeared, he tracked down a lead: an antique book dealer in Las Vegas, Francesco "Frank" Miller.
I spoke with Mr. Miller earlier this week. Unfortunately, someone beat us to him. Someone that I believe is linked to the X Group-a man named Jack Stroud. Go to booksofhistory.com to hear a voicemail from Frank Miller and to see some information he mailed me.
This website will act as your center of operations. We're one step closer, but be careful. Stroud is a very dangerous man.
Good luck.


"Yeah, Kara, hey this is Frank Miller. Sorry we’re playing phone tag… uh, you know, about that book that I had for sale… been getting a lot of interest on this thing, and, uh, actually yesterday I had a guy come by and—and buy it for cash. Uh… you know, mean looking guy, said somebody would be coming around asking about it and, uh, you know, that I shouldn’t-- shouldn’t talk to anybody. So you know, this is all kinda weird, I don’t know what’s going on, and I don’t really wanna know, frankly… y’know, if this has to do with the bookstore in Vegas, I had nothing to do with that, so if you’re FBI, or you know, whatever, contact my attorney; I’ll email you his contact info, but I had nothing to do with that, okay? So, umm, anyway, this guy, this friend of yours, left behind his iPod… I’m sure he’s going to be missing it, but I don’t plan on being around when he comes back for it… so, uh, you know, I’ve got your address here, I’m going to ship it off to ya, and, uh, let you deal with him, okay? So, uh, right! So, any questions, uh, gimme a call. Cheers."

The first Ipod data was uploaded and here are links to the files:

The first is Jackson L. Stroud's top secret file with his aliases (possible search route) and other data. The second is a series of codes. The titles to these codes spell out BLACK and the one titled Lima when spelled backwards reads:
carved into the infidel's back

There has been much discussion on this topic, but my current theory is that this message pertains to the actual book in question. The rest of the "codes" arn't really codes at all but means of decoding future files.

Also the wiki code was recently unveiled on the site and is 335537 for those of you who were looking for that info.
