Came across a nasty little scam the other day, which seems to be targetting victims of False Jonathan Memory Syndrome.
Basically, someone has apparently faked up various "Jonathan Levinson" items including a poster for The Matrix, various CDs, etc., and is offering them on eBay at inflated prices. I'm not sure where the pictures come from, the most likely answer is someone who looks a little like him plus Photoshop. Unfortunately I can't point at an example now because eBay seems to have pulled the plug on the last couple I noticed, but here's an image I copied, allegedly from Jonathan's "Live at Caesar's Palace" album:
I'm reliably informed that the background is (a) heavily manipulated and (b) not Caesar's Palace, I have no idea what it is beyond that. The songs listed were a medly that I think would mostly be Tom Jones recordings, unfortunately I didn't take notes. I think it's likely that the disk, if it actually existed, was simply a pirated Tom Jones album with a different cover and label.
Anyway, this sort of thing is probably going to happen again, so be warned - there are NO authentic examples of this sort of material!
Any other examples of fake Sunnydale-related material surfacing? |

Many of you in the community are aware of the endless rumors about vampires in Sunnydale. In vain we who take a more scientific approach to the matter of Sunnydale say stories like these spread without any basis, that high school students spread stories based on mere rumor, or even that authorities over-react to the presence of a few Goths.
Well, here's a story from the Boston Globe that shows how this can happen. Boston Latin officials seek to quash 'vampire' rumors.
Note: No real vampire at all. But I'm sure some here will say that this is another example of a coverup, that the federal government has the initiative to send in their monster fighting army team, or even that they have faith there is a "vampire slayer" in Boston. Hogwash.

Hi... thought you folks might be able to help us out.
I'm one of the members of the Class of '95 reunion committee for St. Augustine High School in San Diego, CA, 92104. We're currently trying to compile a complete list of mailing addresses as part of the planning for our 15th reunion.
Due to the 2005 reunion being cancelled (we decided to take a break following the Cedar Fire in 2003 destroyed our committee chairman's house, only a few months after the Sunnydale collapse), we're still looking for a Mr. Christopher Hart.
Chris was a well liked member of the ASB and political columnist for the school paper, "The Augustinian". His political expose (freshman year!) on the O'Connor mayoral administration and the political "marker" involved in the closure of the Nutmeg to Palm sector of Bancroft Street (through the center of our campus), as well as the follow-up in the September 1994 edition regarding the reinstatement of an expelled O'Connor student, catapulted his journalism career and he had been signed on as a political correspondent by the Sunnydale Press prior to our graduation.
We are in possession of literally hundreds of photographs and newspaper articles confirming his existence prior to July of 1995, but until recently could find no confirmation of his whereabouts after that date.
The (recently found) last known contact with Chris was a letter he sent, probably in spring '99, to the alumni newsletter, for publication in the "Alumni Updates" column. This letter was *not* published (part of the Conspiracy stretching all the way to an all-boys Catholic high school in San Diego, perhaps?), and the original document was found behind a file cabinet during the recent remodeling of the school's office building. A single paragraph, ready for publication, it reads:
"Christopher Hart '95 has been promoted to Assistant Political Editor of the "Sunnydale Press" newspaper in Sunnydale, CA. He is currently engaged to Charity Kendall, a longtime resident of Sunnydale, and they have recently purchased a house at 1692 Revello Drive in that city. Their wedding is scheduled at St. Patrick's on 30th Street on June 26th at 2:00 PM, Fr. Gary Sanders O.S.A. presiding. All are invited. Reception to follow at St. Augustine H.S. gymnasium."
Interestingly enough, the St. Patrick's parish schedule is missing the page for the week of June 20th, 1999, and Fr. Gary (now Provincial of the Augustinian Order for western North America) claims to have no memory of ever meeting Mr. Hart. No copies of Mr. Hart's wedding invitations have ever surfaced. He did not attend the 2000 reunion.Current Mood:  curious |

Hello all, just recently found this board and something struck me as more than odd; The name Wolfram & Hart keeps popping up in the strangest places. I recently went to www.Opensecrets.org to look into those contributing to the presidential candidates and guess whose name kept popping up? W&H!!. It seems our favourite lawfirm has made many political contributions over the years?: The Kennedy's, Bushes, Clinton's and recently McCain. At first it looks perfectly normal of course, big company donating to those who support it interests but when looks at when the donations stop things get even trickier. W&H stopped donating to Kennedy right before John was assasinated in Dallas. In additon the sponsorship of McCain didn't start until a few weeks ago after he won the republican Primary and started abandoning his old moral views.
I tried to post links of the relevant pages but sometime between my last pageview and linking the pages the site underwent maintainence and now W&H cannot be found on any donor list for ANY candidate.
If anyone knows about W&H influencing local elections that information would be most appreciated. |

It's just a rumor, but a contact of mine swears someone snapped a camera phone picture of her in Cleveland. Other rumors -- including pictures (really blurry ones) -- place her elsewhere, such as England or New York City. But the Cleveland picture does sorta look like her. Unfortunately, my contact is a raving paranoid and wouldn't let me post it.
Has anyone heard anything that might substantiate any of these rumors? |

| » British Cult/Secret Society? |
|---|
I have been doing some research and even managed to track down a member of the Class of 99, but he proved fairly unwilling to dig to deep into the mysteries surrounding those dark days, to quote him. He refuses to even speak about graduation day and becomes very pale when ever I bring it up, so something truly horrific happened to him there in my opinion. He has requested that I keep that I reveal nothing about him other than what he will allow me to say, for fear of what he says will get him killed, and has gone into hiding, but some of the information he tells me actually checks out, which leads to some disturbing events in the town of Sunnydale.
One: Rupert Giles, former Curator of a British Museum (If anyone knows which I would thank you) arrives in Sunnydale and gathers some of the more isolated students under his wing, such as Buffy Summers, Willow Rosenberg, and Alexander Harris.
Two: Over Time this group grows to include Faith (no last name known), the popular Cordelia Chase (who becomes more distant from her other friends and even dates Alexander Harris), a student/musician named Oz, a teacher Miss Calander (who is later murdered in the school itself), A mysterious man known as Angel, and Wesley Wyndham-Price (who later was on the board of Wolfram & Hart).
Three: My source informs me that Wesley Wyndham-Price was actually hired by the school and Rupert Gile's assistant. And that once in the stacks he over heard them talking about some secret society over in England, he either doesn't remember or refused to say, I am not sure. Though he did say he saw this Cordelia Chase dancing with Wesley Wyndham-Price at their prom. I don't know about your high schools but this would have been a major scandal and he would have been fired immediately where I grew up, but he continued to work there till the end of the year, when the school was destroyed. He next shows up as a part of Angel Investigations. Could this be the same mysterious Angel from Rupert Giles small group of followers.
This is just a theory but I believe that some kind of British cult, at least in part lead by Rupert Giles and later Wesley Wyndham-Price, and invaded the small town of Sunnydale. They both surrounded themselves with those vulnerable to brainwashing and convinced these high school students to do whatever it was that they wanted. Violence, inappropriate relationships with students, possibly even murder all fall under this mysterious organization with set up in Sunnydale. My source fear for his life, and possibly rightly so if the later power of Wesley Wyndham-Price is any indication and the fact that Rupert Giles's little group managed to escape from Sunnydale before it collapsed. Has anyone even heard anything about the survivors since the collapse of Sunnydale, my research indicates that they have practically fallen off the grid.

Has anyone else noticed that in the last few months there has been a suspicious lack of activity in all fields related to studies of The Conspiracy and associated areas of interest? There wasn't even anything about Sunnydale or Jonathan in the final issue of the Weekly World News! I can't believe that nobody is talking about this, and that even I have taken months to notice!
Something's VERY wrong. It's much too quiet.
Any thoughts?

Is it possible that the military presence in Sunnydale was some sort of research installation? Only my sources have unearthed an interesting tale from an inmate, Earl Bassett, who was transferred from California State Prison, Corcoran to Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility at Rock Mountain as a result of his distressed psychological state which analysts at the Corcoran facility had attributed to a pathological distrust of the area of the State of California to the East of the Sierra Nevadas.
Mr Bassett was incarcerated under the three strike law for repeated petty crimes while living a hand to mouth existance in the Quincy/Westwood area in the mountains to the East of Sacramento.
Psychologists working for the Californian Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation have recorded a number of conversations with Mr Bassett in which he recounts a consistant tale of how he and an associate, one Valentine McKee were working as labourers in a small town called Perfection, CA, in the late 80's early 90's and came across some hitherto unrecorded giant wormlike animal that burrowed underneath the ground and was able to swallow cars whole and demolish buildings. Apparently the two of them, along with a number of townsfolk including a seismologist called Rhonda LeBeck were able to escape the area.
Since then he has apparently refused to live away from the mountains and, as mentioned, was severely distressed when incarcerated in Corcoran. Since being moved to Rock Mountain he has become a much more docile detainee.
Further investigations in to Perfection, CA have come up blank, it seems a town of that name did exist around 30 miles to the east of Olancha, CA, but it was never that sizeable and records suggest was abandoned some 15 years ago. No structures can be found in the location it was believed to inhabit and oddly this location shows significant evidence of major subsidence.
Valentine McKee and Rhonda LeBeck are both listed as having left the United States for Bolivia in the early half of the 1990's and no further record of them has been uncovered since that point.
While it is a long shot that this inmates story has any degree of validity, the inability to disprove it make me wonder if it might have some bearing on the happenings in Sunnydale a decade or so later. I wonder, are there records of any large worm or snake sightings in that area in the period leading up to the collapse?
Any further information would be gratefully received.

| » Dark Doings at Sunnydale Zoo? |
|---|
Hi! I’m new to this board and I was hoping someone here might have some information that can help me.
I’m involved in an effort to shed some light on some of the more shadowy international organizations. You know, the ones that only seem to be referred to by acronyms and that don’t seem to report to any specific government?
Anyway, I’m trying to trying to pin down a rumor on one of them, and the trail led me here.
Apparently, some time in late 1996 or early 1997 one of these organizations became interested in Sunnydale. Interested enough, that they sent in one of their agents.
The only hard info we have is a heavily redacted CIA report we got through a FOIA request that ws originally filed on a completely different matter. While the name of the agent spotted was completely marked out, it does say the he "blended in perfectly and seemed right at home in his interactions with the staff and visitors of the Sunnydale zoo."
This isn’t much to go on, but I’ve done some digging on that zoo. It seems to have been far larger than typical for a town that size. Also, rather than getting animals from captive breeding programs and other wildlife parks in the US, this zoo seems to have imported it’s animals directly from the wild. Veerry unusual (and expensive) for a small town zoo.
Now this method of stocking the zoo naturally meant there was large amounts of shipments to and from obscure overseas locations. Indeed, in the time period I’m interested in, there was a large amount of traffic to and from Africa. Coincidentally(?) these locations were often troubled regions where various covert shenanigans are strongly suspected to have taken place. Interestingly enough, shortly after the reprorted sighting of this agent, the man in charge of these shipments met with a fatal ‘accident’. The only press coverage of this ‘accident’ I can find are maddingly brief, and I would really like more information.
If anyone who can help with more detailed knowledge of the Sunnydale zoo and its activities (particularly its international activities) please post.

| » Missing Native American Artefact. |
|---|
I wonder if anyone here can help throw some light on a problem I've been working on for the
Chumash casino resort (http://www.chumashcasino.com/) they have been looking in to expanding their Native American museum exhibits and I have been trying to track down information regarding an antique Chumash knife that was once exhibited in the Sunnydale Cultural Museum. I realise it was most likely destroyed when the city suffered it's last earthquake, but I have been able to glean a small part of it's history and having read some of the postulations herein thought there might be a lead.
It would appear the knife went missing on or around Wednesday the 23rd of November, 1999. A post thanksgiving edition of the Sunnydale Press mentions the knife as being among a the weaponry missing from display cases in the Cultural Museum following the murder and mutilation of Dr Gerhardt from the Anthropology Department of the Sunnydale University. The paper suggests that this may have been linked to the discovery earlier on the day of her death of the old Sunnydale Mission that was buried and presumed destroyed in a previous earthquake in 1812. The paper describes the discovery in a separate article headed 'Local Worker's Miracle Escape' which documents how one Alexander L Harris, 18, of Sunnydale was working on the construction site of the new cultural centre when he fell some 20 ft into the ruins of the Old Mission after the ground he was digging collapsed.
It was searching for more information on this part of the puzzle that brought me here.
I have one other clue, a member of the casino security was working as a member of the Sunnydale Police Department in the late 1990's and, being of Chumash descent, recalls the murder at the museum and how the records were suppressed not only regarding the full extent of Dr Gerhardt's mutilation, along with her throat being cut she had been stabbed a number of times and her ear had been removed. But also of the similarities with the alleged suicide of a priest on the same night. He hung himself outside of his church, but allegedly not before he had attempted to hack his own ear off. My source, however, says that the records he saw pointed towards the ear removal being attempted post mortem, and that the item used to make the cuts in both instances was the same crude knife...
It is possible that this is the knife I am researching, if it was indeed stolen by some serial killer, they may have taken it away from Sunnydale before the earthquake. Is anyone here aware of any other cases of similar mutilations in the Sunnydale area around this time? It may help me confirm this conjecture.

I was talking about Sunnydale in a pub last night and some people at another table overheard. One of them was an American (I think) who said that he'd heard that a rock group called Dingoes Ate My Baby came from Sunnydale. I've never heard of them, but he said they'd sold at least one record. Trouble is I didn't get the details (the pub was very crowded, noisy and smoky and I had a coughing fit and had to leave early) and I can't seem to find anything about them on line. Anyone know more?

| » The Mysterious Buffy Summers |
|---|
I've noticed Buffy Summers is discussed here a lot, and as a former Sunnydale resident, I've heard some bizarre rumors about her, like the following:
I've heard from a few friends of mine that she was often seen around town very late at night, sometimes accompanied by others, but usually alone. In fact I am fairly certain I saw her a couple of times myself when I happened to glance out my window (I'm a bit of a night owl.)
Others have said she seemed to frequent the local high school in the middle of the night, running around campus.
And an old girlfriend of mine swears she noticed a girl matching her description entering a local graveyard in the company of a dark haired girl wearing leather a few years back (1999, I believe.)
So my question is, if these rumors are true, why? Why was a young girl running around town so late? Apparently every single night? Why was she at the local high school so often? And how? Shouldn't the school doors be locked and the campus patrolled? Surely they wouldn't allow a student in after hours, especially that late.
And why would she heading into a graveyard so late?
Thoughts?

I'm new to this community, and to be honest, the "Sunnydale Conspiracy" was never one that much crossed my fields until I was tracing the career path of a black-ops unit a source of mine clued me in on.
Specifically, one Riley Finn, now a Colonel, and the guy's what, 25?
So I did a little digging with the help of my source, and this guy has racked up more frequent flier miles than the combined total of roughly half the Air Forces best pilots, it seems. He's all over the place: South America, Canada, Nepal...what the hell is a black-ops unit doing over in the Himalayas?
Dug a little more to try to find this guy's promotion schedule, and he's supposedly a captain at 22. Interestingly enough, when I did a little poking around searching for instances of this guy's name, I found a teacher's assistant named Riley Finn, at UC Sunnydale. Which is what led me to this page.
Anybody got a pic of this UC "Riley Finn" I can put up against the file photo my source managed to pass to me before he got reassigned to Antarctica?

| » Sunnydale Yearbook? |
|---|
I've heard from a contact who doesn't want to be named, and although I've sometimes found him unreliable, he has pointed me toward some interesting info in the past.
He claims to have seen a copy of the Sunnydale High 1999 yearbook (copies of which, even taking the Collapse into account, are scarce) and he noted some interesting stuff about Buffy Summers. Remember that I have no verification for any of this, but it is suggestive.
First of all, there is the matter of the section where the students' mugshots are lined up in alphabetical order. Summers' picture is missing. Not only that, there is only one photo of her in the entire book.
I've seen the Hemery Middle School yearbook, and Summers is practically on every page. Cheerleader, Fashion Club, student government, she was clearly one of the popular kids. Certainly she was one of the most visible. But her presence in Sunnydale High seems to have left no evidence -- or else that evidence was removed before the book was published.
Even stranger is the one photo of her that remains in the book. It was taken at the awards ceremony at the Senior Prom. The caption reads "Buffy Summers -- Class Protector."
Assuming this is true, does anyone have a clue what it means? I got nothin'.

OK, I thought the story of the Sunnydale Army Supply Depot was just another example of the Wilkins family bilking money from federal coffers. Turns out there may be more too it than that.
I want to stress up front I don’t know the full implications of what I’ve learned. It could be nothing, it could be deliberate disinformation or it could be something more. You’ll have to evaluate that on your own.
As I mentioned before the bunker under the UC Sunnydale campus was officially decommissioned in 1992 (after never actually being used for anything) but Army depot was left open. I could never figure out what the base did. So I started researching what kinds of supplies were being funneled through the base. It’s been slow going. My FOIA requests have been getting the cold shoulder lately (I think I may be ruffling a few feathers). But I have been able to get a hold of few civilian contract workers assigned to bases in the Southwest US.
According to them, most of what they shipped to Sunnydale was surplus and/or outdated weapons. Nothing really out of the ordinary. That is until around 1999.
According to three civilian employees I found, several large shipments of top of the line weapons were sent to Sunnydale. This was enough gear to fully outfit at least two platoons. Even odder a large amount of medical equipment (enough to outfit a 50 bed hospital) was shipped into Sunnydale the summer of 1999. The base infirmary only had eight beds.
In addition, one said gear marked ‘research supplies’ was also sent into Sunnydale. Again I only got this from one source and it as yet unconfirmed. Take it with a grain of salt.
According to my sources these shipments kept up between the summer of 1999 and the beginning of 2000 before being abruptly cut off in May of 2000.
Now I’ll be honest, this could just be some base commander stocking up, a typical screw up in the Army supply chain or the supplies could have just been routed through Sunnydale on their way somewhere else. Unfortunately I’ve as yet been unable to locate any assigned to work the depot in Sunnydale to confirm if the shipments came in or what happened to them after they came in.
None of this proves anything and I want to stress I haven’t been able to find any official confirmation of what was stored at the Sunnydale supply depot (which in and of itself is very telling). All I have are a few eyewitness accounts from civilian cargo haulers.
But a week ago I had long talk with a friend who monitors activity out at Area 51. I offhand mentioned my research into military involvement in Sunnydale and the odd supply shipments during 1999 and 2000 and he became very excited. This morning he sent me a list of nine flights between Area 51 and Sunnydale during 1999 to 2000. There may have been more but those were only ones his group could confirm.
He stressed that the fact that he was able to get confirmation in the form of flight records and radar logs might mean that flights were deliberate disinformation. Most of the air traffic in and out of Area 51 is classified and (according to him) a surprisingly large amount never shows up on commercial radar.
Now he has no way to know what was on any of these planes. But in the twelve years he and his associates have been tracking activity at Area 51 those are the only flights he’s seen go into Sunnydale and they just coincidently coincide with a major increase in the supplies going into the Sunnydale Army depot.
As dsample pointed out on the LA Darkness thread there is a possibility the military was testing some kind weapon that created a wide area of darkness and they may have selected Sunnydale because of some unique geological or other abnormality. Perhaps the incident at the 99 graduation ceremony was a natural phenomenon that drew the military’s attention and they began researching the weapon in 1999 which led to the test in LA a few years later.
Does anybody have any contacts with DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency: http://www.darpa.mil/)? The odds are any such research project run in Sunnydale would have been run under their auspices.
