The Brotherhood of The Green Chrysanthemum posted a new message on their homepage:

"Thank you for helping us solve the mystery of The White Island! We love you!"

And a video:

The final diary entry of surrealist and land artist Antonio Perleamo, rumoured to be the grandfather of Elisabeth Perl (aka DVJ Elisabeth), has been posted on a fan website dedicated to Perleamo's work.

An interesting read, indeed.

A new video promoting The White Island Takeover on Flaunt, and making the rounds in Ibiza, has revealed a possible new symbol. Several DJs are in the video, but in the section hosted by The Young Punx, both Hal and Nathan show symbols that appeared on their hats after they were lost in the crowd during a gig at Privilege, and returned after. In the clip, Nathan holds his symbol in one direction, but Hal presents his turned 90 degrees.

Normally, this would go unnoticed, but given the associations now being made between the symbols surrounding the mystery of The White Island, and the icons on the Pioneer SVM-1000, a new interpretation is being posited concerning this symbol - while before it was through The Young Punx symbol resembled the Filter icon of the SVM-1000, it's now thought the symbol might resemble the Blur icon.

Is this a new symbol? Is it two symbols in one? Or do The Young Punx, as members of The Brotherhood of the Green Chrysanthemum, know something we don't?

Those following the discussion of The White Island at Unforums will have noted a new theory emerging regarding the various symbols being distributed to DJs and around the internet (apparently by Bes, according to another post). Investigator "therev" has proposed the symbol on the piece of jewelry given to DJ Sarah Main resembles the Reverb icon on the Pioneer SVM-1000, a DVJ mixer. Further, he has suggested resemblances between other icons and symbols.




There is a potential issue with this theory: only ten symbols have been presented so far, and discussion throughout The White Island has centred on 12 symbols. And although there are 12 icons on the SVM screen (above), the SVM in fact has two screens (below), for a total of 24 icons.



As this is a new theory, a thorough comparison has yet to be performed.

Reports are coming in that an area of the Orumax website thought to be for client communications only has received an update, with the ominous message "our enemy is activated". Alongside the rather more extensive message is a slideshow, and an ancient drawing of a cat or rabbit (or a cat-rabbit?) and a snake in battle.

The investigation continues.

A video from Elisabeth Perl has been posted to the Antonio Perleamo fansite. The administrators are clearly flustered by the receipt of the video, and appear to be caught up in something they don't understand.

For white island investigators, however, this is a clear breakthrough.

We've noted, as well, other updates on the site, concerning Perleamo himself.

We've just received word that the Stop Ibiza Cults! website has been hacked.

More to come...

A number of new symbols have been found, related to The White Island, and a few in unexpected places. You can find more information under the Symbols section.

Related, a number of new members of The Brotherhood of the Green Chrysanthemum have been revealed, but only through The White Island Takeover on Flaunt. Look here for more info.

James Haddow of the Society for the Protection of Ancient Ibiza posted an urgent appeal on www.sociedadibiza.com, noting that he or his organization have found another puzzle related to the mystery of The White Island.

SPAI have gone the further step of offering a Pioneer ProDJ CDJ-400 to the first person who solves the puzzle. This reward is similar to previous rewards offered by Pioneer ProDJ, and leads us to wonder if SPAI has been involved at the core of the mystery from the start.

DJ Tutor today stoked the flames of internet rumors linking him to The Brotherhood of the Green Chrysanthemum, when he posted a new tutorial video on his YouTube channel. The tutorial, How to Mix Drum & Bass with Hip-Hop, is straightforward enough, but lurking in the background is an image of a Green Chrysanthemum; this is often thought to be a signal of kinship between members of the brotherhood.



Tutor, a one-man life support system for an internet meme, is revered in both the DJ and YouTube communities. His signal of membership in The Brotherhood puts him in league with a number of famed DJs, including Tiefschwarz, Above and Beyond and, some speculate, Paul van Dyk.

His claim was strengthened when in another tutorial video, he presented what may be another symbol in the mystery of The White Island.


The investigation continues.
