Michael is probably to busy to answer you, especially since this review is over ten years old – old stuff already. He probably didn’t want to waste his time, so I did it a little bit for him.

I only looked at the osama link. With “Bush”, you conveniently skipped a letter only between the B and the U. With “Laden”, the letters are out of ordre. I found Reagan – in order with no skips – starting from the R of Reuben (more on presidents later).

You found “Sept” and “eleventh”, both touching the last A of osama (which was also out of oredr until you conveniently slipped an “a” into the right place). I found the following months also out of order in the tribal names section (starting letter in parentheses):

Aug (A of Gad)
Novem (N of Simeon)
Jan (J of Benjamin)
June (same J)

But the best one is Apr for April (1st A in Manasses) – not only in order, but that “A” is actually the 2nd “A” of your Osama – not only next to it, but right in it!

As far as your “eleventh” goes, what about “seventh” (1st OR 2nd S of Issachar – and I didn’t have to skip empty boxes in your grid like you did to start with the E of chrysolite!). Not in order, there’s also tenth (T of Nepthalim) and ninth (N of Manasses), which can even be expanded to nineteenth. But seventeenth, like seven, can be spelled IN ORDER – WOW!! And from two different S’s! I would say that that shows that April 7th or 17th have a much stronger connection – what happened then?

By the way, I found Nixon – skipping letters and spaces – in the line above Osama and extending to the line below him – in the shape of a cross fallen to the left, like this:

O

N X N

I

and you can even start from either N! Unbelievable!!

But I think that the best encoded name I found is…

YOURS!

Mains (M of Menasses). Not in order, but no skips. Not once or twice, but FOUR different ways. Three of them are all on the tribal name side, sharing the last two letters of Osama (!), and the fourth extends back into the gemstones through your inserted A and including Osama’s S, meaning that you share a MAJORITY of letters with OSAMA!! Either that means that Revelations hints that you would be the one to reveal this great code, or maybe you’re more connected to this whole story than you’re letting on…

Actually, if you take your name as found in

MANASSES
SIMEON

it’s the letters MAN of MANASSES
and SI of SIMEON.

The MEON remaining from SIMEON rearranges to spell OMEN (and NEMO, for that matter). Actually, rearranging SI gives you IS, together with OMEN is IS OMEN. I’m not sure what the significance is of what’s left over in the other name, but I don’t think that the joke here IS ON ME…

While we’re on your name, I didn’t find KD, because there’s no K at all in your grid (except for the whole alphabet that you conveniently inserted to help you find Bush). BTW, the K is one of only five letters absent from your grid – the others being F Q V and W.

But let’s not despair in finding some significance here, too. In Islam, an inalienable religious endowment (like a common law trust in the West) is called a “waqf” (or “wakf” – both spellings came up when Googled). Ignoring the vowel A, that’s all of the absent letters – W K Q F – except for V. Now V is the 22nd letter of the alphabet, and if you subtract 1 for the A here too, you get 21, which is the date of the Allied attack on Iraq!

But not only that – the first two absent letters – F and the K of your name – have positions in the alphabet of 6 and 11 respectively. 6 x 11 = 66. Put the 6 back in front of the 66 and you have 666, just like you have in your grid. Flip the 6 over to give you a 9, and with the 11, you have 9/11!! So many connections, if you just look hard enough…

I’ll try to get to Diana when I have some more free time.

BTW, Prof. Shermer, great review. Wish I’d seen it before I went to the Aish Discovery Seminar (they took out the codes from their presentation not too ago).
