Ok, so this is my first forum post. But I have been lurking for a long while now. And I think I may be on to something.
So, after watching the last video I thought I would check out the initials to the occupations, now because a list of most of those occupations would be endless i started with the easiest, The former CIA director. It turns out that from 1993 to 1995 the director of the CIA was one R. James Woolsey (I don't know why his first name wasn't listed). But hey thats the main initials "RJW" it also lists that he owned a private law practice later in his career, which could be a piece of the lawyer bit.
Here is a link to where I got the info about Mr. Woolsey. As for the rest of the occupations and rest of the initials, I am at a loss for where to start.
On another note of these initials, when I first saw them I thought that maybe if you took the number it is in the alphabet form each letter (a=1, b=2, c=3, etc.) and formed a list of 3 different numbers, it would form an ottendorf cipher, I have no idea what the key would be, but I was hoping you guys could help with that, maybe one of those documents on empires? I am currently working on working out all the numbers, but first I am compiling my own list of initials, seeing as all the lists have different lengths, very confusing, so if anyone wants to get on IRC and give me a hand it would be greatly appreciated. Also any input on anything I have said would be great too.
EDIT: Ok, so here are the numbers for the ottendorf cipher:
11, 16, 8
4, 12, 12
7, 20, 11
15, 13, 1
13, 2, 3
20, 3, 13
10, 3, 14
16, 19, 18
4, 20, 1
3, 18, 14
19, 2, 3
I was using this set of initials:
KPH
DLL
GTK
OMA
MBC
TCM
JCN
PSR
DTA
CRN
SBC
That list of numbers is only as accurate as the initials so again, we cant be sure. But there are more problems, even if I have the initials right, maybe the numbers for the cipher are to be derived form the letters a different way. Or maybe the letter numbers need to be put through another cipher in order to get the right numbers cipher. Plus just to make things more difficult I have no idea what the document is that would be the key to the cipher. So any suggests you guys have would be greatly appreciated, also if you have any ideas of documents and want to crunch the numbers that would also be great.
The more I investigate my theory the more I think it is probably not right. But heh,
