Anybody remember "Project Blackjack"? ...

June 22nd, the day after summer solstice. The world media is filled with horrifying coverage of near-simultaneous nuclear detonations in multiple major cities around the world: London, New York City, Washington, DC, Toronto, Mexico City, Portland and Los Angeles. Hundreds of thousands of dead and dying. Property damage in the trillions. The global economy on the brink of collapse.

A right-wing cult takes credit for the attacks, but it turns out that the organization is a cut-out for a shadowy New-World-Order group of elites bent on world domination, their sinister plot hinging on nuclear false-flag terrorism. They were almost successful in using the ensuing global chaos to further their powerful grip on the nations of the earth, but were thankfully exposed and defeated.

Obviously, the scenario above was not based on a real-life attack, but was rather the storyline of an unusual slideshow series published on the website of the London Telegraph in early 2009 entitled “Project Blackjack”.

The series consisted of five parts which were posted sequentially over the course of several weeks. The first several slideshows were rather basic and clunky, but the quality of the presentations improved with each subsequent posting, as did the sophistication of the content to a certain degree. Various slides contained a variety of secret codes, including several in hexadecimal format.

The slideshow also contained a variety of occult symbols and references to well-known conspiracy theories, such as the Roswell incident and Majestic 12, ostensibly contributing elements to the plotline, but a number of them seemed incongruous.

The series spawned all sorts of speculation and new conspiracy theories at the time, but when the date in question passed uneventfully, the public’s fears were calmed.
