Where did that come from? I'm looking all over the place...

Did anyone notice this in the news last week or so? Some sites are debunking it; I'm still in the middle of researching it. But all the same, it was interesting. We were talking nukes and volcanoes yesterday after Teaser #7, so potentially self-misleading.
All the same, supposedly fresh from the "press" (whoever may be behind that...as someone said in chat yesterday "seeing is believing this time of year"), this is from Business Insider, who, as far as I know, is fairly reputable.

Dottore!: Internment in Italy, 1940-1945 - Salim Diamand
""Dottore!" is more than an autobiographical account of one man's fate during the Second World War. It is an astonishingly human insight into the nature of the war in Italy and Italians. Dr Salim Diamand arrived in Italy prior to 1939 to study medicine. A Jew from Poland, he became a victim of the war and spent over four years in various concentration camps. "Dottore!" gives us rare insights into these unusual concentration camps, the inmates, the administration and the peculiarities of war-torn Italy. It is also a tribute to the Italians as a people, as individuals and to Italy as a special country. Dr Salim Diamand emigrated to Canada from Italy in 1950 and he has practised medicine in British Columbia and then in Toronto, Ontario."
So this Salim was not yet an actual doctor during WWII, but more of a student, earning his doctorate post 1945?
So between him, Hodaikko, and the 97th, we have three potential WWII leads, and a couple post ~1975 leads?

This is a little off topic, but it is fantastic that we are gaining new members who are being so active in the forums. Welcome aboard guys, it is going to be a wild ride the next 18 months or so!
Thanks, Clay! Really honoured to finally be an official member of the community! Been a blast so far.

If it's taken down again, than it wasn't me being an idiot and deleting it
This is really interesting though, specifically the quote from Black Ops 2, the unknown ending to the mission and Mason's sanity.
lol! Sounds good. Yeah, great link. I don't always agree with all their stuff but they're usually on top of it.

Was there a reason that link to callofdutywiki was removed? If that's a forum rule breach, pardon me, I'm still a n00b here. Or did you delete it? @gfn21

NEW SNAP! FRESH MATERIAL!
That house was in one of the earlier snaps.
Once again, with the snowy area surrounding the house. The only thing I can think of is how Alex Mason lived in Alaska...
Maybe Trollarch is just screwing with us
They may not be screwing with us, though. That's a good point. That could be a giveaway.On the snap from earlier, with the wolf.... Upon loading up the mission "Project Nova" from Black Ops 1, before the text is blacked out it says that Resnov's last known alias was "The Wolf"... I don't know if this is a hint to check the mission, or that Resnov is alive, or what... but that's the only thing that makes sense to me. That whole snapchat served no purpose at 4 seconds long, unless there is something everyone is missing. A metaphor for Resnov fending off his enemies? Who knows
Or maybe just for him hiding out. I've gotta check that out! Brilliant, dude! It's true, Reznov is that driving force; that motivational spirit behind WAW as well as BO1.
What was the timeframe when Reznov rescued Alex and Woods, etc, from the desert in BO2?

Another thought just occurred to me. The rapidness of these snapchats...they remind me of the rapidness of the loading screens in the first Black Ops. As in, the little video loading screen that would pop up after you exit a mission or map. I hope that makes sense.
Yep! Alex has flashbacks throughout the campaign in the same style as he talks to Hudson.

And Waterman's Sunscreen, which uses that exact trident from the photo, was founded in 2005 but I doubt that means anything. I'm not seeing anything else, so it's probably just a coincidence that the same trident was used.
I'm gonna go out on a limb here and suggest that we may be presuming the full emblem-there just appear to be no ties (and I can't imagine why there would be) to Watermans Applied Science; and obviously, a Trademarked logo would probably be avoided as much as possible.
I stole-and all creds to @LiamFTWinter's-remake of the emblem for an example modification. I'm thinking there's something in the space below the trident that they aren't ready for us to see, hence, the placement being right behind the tree, effectively blocking that whole area. Maybe I'm wrong. I just think Waterman is a red herring, though @blackfire561 did a great job of identifying the design so quickly.

Looks a bit like a disfigured world map...
Hm. I was thinking it looked like a satellite shot of a warehouse district. Though that wouldn't have anything to do with anything else we've seen.

I really don't want a new story to sprout from Origins. I didn't like it to begin with, and I feel the events of buried need continuation.
Agreed. I was just saying I think it's probably likely that they will. Personally, I really wanna see what happens to Samantha and the remaining O4.
-
Oooookay. Still working on it. Not sure what I did, but suddenly this popped out.
-
I dunno. Maybe for one more map with the N4 to clarify some of the story; but yeah, I'm with you, @Nightmare Voyager. I feel like they kinda ran their course, did their thing. Obviously, the O4 have to return. All four of them. Zombies revolves around that buncha ragamuffins.
It will be interesting to see whether they return as the Origins 4 (likely) or the Original 4.

But seriously, that tree is an Hokkaido landmark, the terrain is the same-the hill to the left, the dip to the right, and the mountain range in the distance, right side. Treyarch put it in the video. Why? I don't know. Could it be meaningless? For scenic purposes only? I would not be surprised. But while we're investigating, I figgered we'd figger out if there is anything historically significant about the island.

From the Hokkaido government website (http://www.pref.hokkaido.lg.jp/sm/hrt/hp-en/hist-en.htm):
- The Northern Territories issue began in September 1945 when the Soviet Army illegally occupied the islands of Etorofu, Kunashiri, Shikotan and Habomai, which were inherent Japanese territories.
- As the difference of positions of the two countries did not provide any prospect to reach an agreement on the territorial issue except with regard to Habomai and Shikotan during the negotiation process, on 19 October 1956 Japan and the Soviet Union signed the Japan-Soviet Joint Declaration to end the state of war and to restore diplomatic and consular relations between the two countries, having agreed to continue negotiations for the conclusion of a peace treaty which should included the territorial issue, after the restoration of normal diplomatic relations between Japan and the Soviet Union. In Article 9 of the Declaration, the two countries agreed to continue negotiations for the conclusion of a peace treaty and the Soviet Union agreed to hand over Habomai and Shikotan to Japan after the conclusion of a peace treaty.
- The Tokyo Declaration signed by Prime Minister Morihiro Hosokawa and President Boris Yeltsin in 1993 mentioned each of the Four Islands of the Northern Territories by name and defined the territorial issue as an issue of which country these islands belong to. The Declaration set out clear negotiation guidelines; Japan and Russia should conclude a peace treaty by resolving the territorial issue (i) on the basis of historical and legal facts, (ii) based on the documents to which both parties agreed, and (iii) on the principles of law and justice.
And from the World War 2 Database (http://ww2db.com/battle_spec.php?battle_id=167)
- The Japanese northern-most home island of Hokkaido was in the invasion plans, (Soviet Manchurian Strategic Offensive Operation: 9 August, 1945 - 2 September, 1945) but Japan surrendered before Soviet forces were ready to mount such an invasion. During the Allied occupation of Japan, the Soviet Union repeatedly demanded Hokkaido be occupied by Soviet forces without answering to the Supreme Commander of Allied Personnel, but General Douglas MacArthur sternly opposed the idea, and threatened the Soviet representative General Kuzma Derevyanko with military action should Soviet forces set foot on the island. Derevyanko, knowing well that MacArthur was not bluffing, advised Moscow to halt any plans for Hokkaido.
And that's all there really is to Hokkaido.

Actually, fellas, are we *sure* @Schrödinger wasn't onto something here? I'm gonna do a bit more research...but just take a look at this. These are eerily alike.
Mid-Research Findings: It would appear that someone *ahem*Jimmy*ahem* has been travelling for Treyarch to capture a lot of this footage that they are using. This is a famous tree called the Christmas Tree in Hokkaido, Japan.
You know what...I dunno what it's all about yet, but Brains to you @Schrödinger. Good find. -
@Schrödinger They're not the same, but very close. Good eye!
Also, @Chopper 's link shone some light on this page as well:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Ewen_Cameron#Project_MKUltra
@Shrodinger close! So close! I can't, but I almost wanna give you brains just for the effort!
-
Yeah, that 'program' was rather resemblant of these teases. Thinking MK-Ultra/brainwashing is a safe suggestion.
-
Or war memories being unchained to assist in curing post dramatic stress disorder...
Oh, right. That's more likely, knowing Treyarch. Like MarkL said at DICE, Treyarch has always liked to delve into the darker side of war.
-
It's very fast. And I think....we're building up to something. Definitely a hypnosis.
They may not be screwing with us, though. That's a good point. That could be a giveaway.
