Volunteers Needed to Contribute (...)

HETFET.org contains a single image and lyric.

splash-HETFET-04.jpg
An Abomination hath been done,
The wheels of motion turned and spun,
A quarter moon past,
Time runneth fast,
Our countdown already begun.

April 10

HETFET.org is updated to display a new lyric.

splash-HETFET-05.jpg
Rise up prepare to act,
The future is bleak in fact,
Unite as one,
Oh earthly son,
Protect the ancient pact.

A Craigslist ad for Seattle was also discovered

April 15

HETFET.org is updated to display a new lyric.

splash-HETFET-06.jpg
A very dark day in our prime,
Our planet is covered in grime,
Pray hear our concern,
All ye to learn,
Five plus one less than a dime.

April 16

HETFET.org is updated to display a new lyric, this time the file naming convention has changed.

TH.jpg
From light they often make stone,
Time for us all to atone,
Years of abuse,
From persons obtuse,
One nine of a month yet unknown.
Refreshing also makes the previous lymerics appear, now also following the new naming convention.
Lymeric 1 = ET
Lymeric 2 = LL
Lymeric 3 = SA
Lymeric 4 = TH

April 18

HETFET.org is updated to include a new lyric.

VE.jpg
Four out of twelve leads the way,
Twenty less one points the day,
Of primary concern, For thou to learn,
Fine creatures in dire dismay.
Giving: ET LL SA TH VE
Which can anagram to: SA VE TH ET ?? LL (missing letters being RO? "SAVE THE TROLL"?)
The lymeric also seems to describe "4 of 12" and 20-1=19 - April 19th?


HETFET Revealed

April 19

HETFET.org became active.

HETFET means: "Humans for the Ethical Treatment of Fairies, Elves, and Trolls"
The new site includes a number of sections and pages of content. But of primary import is the Secret Device (link).
Believed to have been forged by mystical alchemists and metallurgists during the time when Trolls freely walked the Earth, the object known only as THE SECRET DEVICE, has thrilled and perplexed those few that have taken gaze upon it.
The device is very 'steampunk' in appearance, containing 3 rings that can be rotated, with numbers from 0 through 99 adoring their perimeter. At certain positions lights glow for each ring. There are also 10 'slots' at the foot of the device.

Lock #1 of the device is unlocked.

Positioning the rings at (or by top-left-right = ) unlocks the device.
Unlocking the device display a new poem with hilighted letters, which spell: "Lexilloyd.comhetfet.org"
This then leads to Lexilloyd.com, the personal blog of Lexi Lloyd
Returning to the device, the first slot in the footer is now 'lit'.


Lexi's site contains numerous entries dating back to January, and provides a link to her youtube profile (link)

The latest entry indicates she's going to start vlogging. Her youtube profile contains videos posted April 16 (My first VLOG) and April 17 (Re: Fairies).

"Shera Vellotts" (anagram of "Save the trolls") mass emails a HETFET press release, revealing that Guillermo del Toro was among the ralliers. Also, Elizabeth Moora defends 'GDT' saying his appearance was 'purely coincidental'.
Shera also posts a video to youtube which proves GDT was at the rally (link).

Lexi posts three VLOGs (1 new video): "my first vlog!", "my second vlog!", and "earth day video!"

Lexi introduces herself, nervously stumbling on recording her first video blogs. She lives with her mother, and has been hanging out with her friend recently who has an idiot boyfriend. She prefers cats over dogs. On Earth Day, she shares her thoughts on environmental issues and asks for responses.

The first lyric seems to hint at the term felines; in the second are capitals for each of the five lines, spelling DUTCH.

"Dutch Felines" leads to a new youtube profile with videos. It is also an anagram for "find the clues"

"DutchFelines" is also discovered at Metacafe (link) and on youtube, including this first video: "LEAKED Military Footage - mysterious creature?" added April 25.
