Trish's entry on Jennings and Rall really paints a grim picture of life for the survivors. It seems to me that the way she talks about her camp is designed to make you feel that the only comforts can be found in the plastic tent in the sci-fi like camp.

If she's living in a plastic tent, then I expect to hear how hot and humid it is in there!

There's a reference in the first episode to "Hudson River Virus" being contained east of the Mississippi. Is this more propaganda by the Allied States to keep everyone to the West of the Mississippi?

Gwen

There was a question raised by "Below the Beltway" about the EMP.

Was the Allied States was responsible for the EMP?

Was the EMP planned to knock out the infrastructure, so it would have to be rebuilt under the control of Jennings and Rall?

Gwen

Our earlier speculation of propoganda and contorl of information form the Cheyenne government/Allied States is certainly turning out to be true.

On Condor, we learned the reporters work for the government and that there are news blackouts on some stories.

What else is Jennings and Rall and the Allied States doing and what is their goal?

I read a review that questioned the new flags being used so fast in a worn torn country. I apologize for loosing the reference, since Jericho-Kansas likes to credit anyone we mention.

I thought this was an interesting observation and is actually quite historical. The first President under the Articles of Confederation in the US was John Hanson, and one of the first things he did was ordered the removal of all foreign troops and flags. This was quite an undertaking considering the number of countries who lay claim to the states. You can read more about John Hanson here: http://www.marshallhall.org/hanson.html


The reviewer went on to say that it would be impossible to have the new flags ready for armpatches and being flown so soon after the attacks. One of the things being learned from the Jericho Alternate Reality Game (ARG) is that Jennings and Rall has seven offices and only two are in the Allied States territory.

Be sure to read Trish's blog, this is the same Trish that is in the episodes we've seen.

On a side note, the map on our website (see Hawkin's Notes) used red, white and blue as the colors for the three governments. I've now seen several references to this being polticial colors and the writers were trying to imply something.

Note: I made the map and I used red, white and blue, since those were the colors our website was using.

Gwen

I agree airassault, flags and patchs would be easy to generate if Jennings and Rall had prepared in advance.

Did Jennings and Rall have advance warning of the attacks?
