Having attempted the synopsis above for those who didn't read the entire thread and are commenting here: I think it's important to realize some pertinent and important information.



Let's take the title of the thread, for instance: Though the legend of "vampirism" was not strictly addressed on this thread, that I read anyway, I think it worth noting. Vampires, or their legend, are creatures invested and dependent upon human blood for survival. This is why, on many levels, members participating on the thread, were wary, especially after viewing a website that combined videos with attributes I listed already, and their stated mission of a development of an "anti-language," not understood by those around them, but not "of them.



It more than implies an objectification of those innocent of their motivations, w hich were never quite clear, nor easily discernible, by anyone's interaction with them, as Brotherman has elucidated.



One must guard one's mind. One no longer has to be a doctor, nor rocket scientiest, nor genuis on any level to understand we live in times where there are folks with agendas, preying upon those innocent of their agendas. Manipulation is the least of it. Most here recognize a generalized "playing field," where there are people with less than above board agendas, seeking to take advantage of those innocent and unknowing of said agendas, for various reasons: perhaps even simply to end their cultures because they regard them as "useless eaters," a term used here rather frequently, or the judgement that if they are "unawake," totally hypnotized by everyday life and the technology with all its bells and whistles to entertain them, that they are taking up space on a planet where space, itself, has become a premium. So, there's this judgement, by some "intelligentias," social and intellectual Darwinists, as it were, that some lives are more worthy than others.



The influence over a microcosm of people, a clique on an internet discussion board, to communities, to a whole culture of individuals, to the macrocosm of the world, and the human condition, at large, is really what narrative collection, study, dissemination, language study, and further the attendant history of how human beings have related, communicated and continue to do so, means in real terms, and what its implications are.



Many of us believe that there are forces at work, attempting to revamp entire histories of entire cultures, or totally eliminate them, if they do not meet certain criteria, or agree with certain agendas: a reverse engineering of history, if you will, and by extension, humanity. One of the many objectives to this would be the pursuit of a transhumanist, and provision and creation of a superior machine, human like, to take the place of humanity. But, this is only one. One must remember, programmable versions of mankind would be ever more malleable by an ever more smaller, select group…...



I am thinking of a scene from one of the Twilight movies, obviously about outright Vampires, where tourists are visiting a certain, I believe, Venisian city, and the vampires living there are offering to serve as tour guides, where later they will take the "tourists" fishing in the canals. Of course, this is not the fishing, for actual fish, that the vampires in residence have in mind, as they view the "innocent," (some may read lacking in intellect, instead), as the fish, and will be fishing, instead amongst those "common folk," rather non vampires. This is literally, within the context of this film, the view of the vampiric community seeing humans as nothing more than fish, food for their subsistence.



There was even a member here, who later in this thread, wrote a response that he/she'd been rather stupid thinking we were all really trying to disseminate information when that's all that was going on here, as well. Happy hunting, he/she signed off with, and "thanks for all the fish." On that note, any newcomers reading this thread should perhaps be warned: research the site and its history for yourself. Keep this in mind as you peruse subject matters here, and comment. For as you comment, you reveal much about yourself. The Gut's Aviary threads are a very good place to start in researching some of the history of ATS, itself, and who and who founded it, and what it may, perhaps, serve as……



Having said that, I think Forgotten Languages, struck many of us here, as an extension of something like what I describe, with rather huge implications, perhaps not the site itself or its members, but just a generalized finding of this type of activity on the internet, what government and intelligence community involvements may be at work, and what other, more hidden, affiliations may exist, as well. It seemed to many of us that we were perhaps being studied, as to our responses to Forgotten Languages, and as well, to one another: a whole study with its own implications. This is why I responded the way I did to Muzzleflash. There has been a great deal going on here, on a multifaceted level, on this thread, one of the best on this site to exemplify all those possibilities and their consequences.



Again, watch the videos, absorb the information with forewarning and forethought. As Abeverage, I believe, wisely stated somewhere in this thread, some things seen, cannot be then unseen. And the affect on your mind, and what you have seen may produce and emanate with your mind thereafter, not to mention its affect on your behavior and psyche, cannot be dismissed.



With that, I fully endorse, though, seeking information, just with these caveats in mind, always.
