What's going on Zombie Conspirators? Blitz Again, with another brand new theory!

I'm going to give you clues that Treyarch has given us. Following all the clues, I will give you my theories, but let the evidence guide your own thoughts and ideas, once you see the clues you'll see a pattern.

Due to the volume of this thread, I will highlight the key points in red.

Disclaimer: If you're Bias, please leave all negative comments in the troll cave where you have spawned. All positive/supporting criticism is welcomed. Trolls will be deported towards the nearest bridge.

Like I said, I will not give my theories until the end, but I have dug up a lot of information that may be interesting towards you. Upon the completion of the overwhelming amount of information I'm about to expose to you hopefully I won't even have to break it down into my theories. Here we GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

First Subject Matter: Alcatraz...? Indians?

There are a few smart ones out there who have mentioned it may have something to do with Indians. POLTERGEIST!? Not quite, what we actually have here has nothing to do with an Indian burial ground but is actually considered a "Cursed" site and some other site considered it as a sacred site that will unite the lands. Here you go:

Thousands of years before Spanish and Portuguese explorers discovered Northern California, 10,000 indigenous people inhabited the coastal area between Point Sur and the San Francisco Bay.

According to Indian oral history, Alcatraz was first used as a place of isolation or ostracism for tribal members. It was also used for camping and gathering foods such as bird eggs and sea life. Indian people later used the island to escape from the California Mission system.

Darryl "Babe" Wilson, a member of the Achoma 'Wi / Atsuge 'Wi tribe, recalls this history passed down from his ancestors.

To protect San Francisco from foreign invaders, the U.S. Army turned Alcatraz Island into a powerful fortress in 1850. In 1907, the fort was turned into a prison for military personnel and also held Confederate soldiers during the Civil War, conscientious objectors during World War I and a number of Indians beginning in 1873.

After a series of battles in Tule Lake, California between the Modoc tribe and the U.S. Army, six Modoc leaders were singled out to face charges for the killing of a general and a lieutenant in 1873. Even before their trial, gallows were constructed for Captain Jack, Schonchin Jack, Black Jim, Boston Charley, Barncho, and Sloluck. In early July, all six were convicted of murder and assault with intent to kill, and sentenced to hang. A few weeks later, President Grant commuted the death sentence for Barncho and Sloluck to life in prison on Alcatraz. The four others were hung in October. Barncho died of tuberculosis in prison, but Sloluck was released and sent to back to his tribe in Oklahoma in 1878.

:idea: Nineteen Hopis were incarcerated from January 3 to August 7, 1895, the largest group of Native Americans ever imprisoned there. Jailed for their resistance to farm on individual plots away from the mesas and for refusing to send their children to government boarding schools, these Hopis were part of a widespread Indian resistance to the government's attempts to erase Hopi culture. Indian people continued to be held as prisoners on Alcatraz through the early 1900s. :idea:

^^^ This Paragraph is Very Important for the Thread ^^^

In 1934, Alcatraz became a maximum security penitentiary, housing 1,545 prisoners over 28 years, including infamous mobster Al Capone; bank robber George "Machine Gun" Kelly; Robert Franklin Stroud, better known as the "Birdman of Alcatraz"; and political prisoner Morton Sobell. When the facility became too expensive to operate, the prison officially closed on March 21, 1963. The island was declared federal surplus land in 1964.

Achomawi Tribe:

The Achomawi (also Achumawi, Ajumawi and Ahjumawi) are one of eleven bands of the Pit River tribe of Native Americans who lived in what is now northeastern California in the United States. Nine autonomous bands (also called "tribelets") of the Pit River Indians spoke various dialects of one common language. Early white linguists and anthropologists called the language "Achomawi," although that name is not what the Indians called it. The use of the word "Achomawi" (actually just the name of one of the bands in the language group) to describe the language was also overgeneralized and used to describe all nine bands, even though the other eight bands each had separate names, territories, and dialects of the common language. Most of this article is about the actual Achomawi band (whose territory was historically along the Fall River Valley and the Pit River from the south end of Big ValleyMountains, westerly to Pit River Falls.

The other eight bands that shared the Achomawi language had a historic homeland located along other parts of the Pit River. Their territory extended from Big Bend to Goose Lake. This land was also home to the Atsugewi, language group, which consisted of two distinct bands, and who lived south of the Achomawi language bands.

Achomawi shaman maintained the health of the community, serving as doctors. Shaman would focus on "pains" which were physical and spiritual. These pains were believed to have been put on people by hostile shamans. After curing the pain, the shaman would then swallow it. Both men and women held the role of shaman. A shaman had a fetish called kaku, which was a bundle of feathers which were believed to grow in rural places, rooted in the earth, and when secured, dripped of blood constantly. The kaku was used as an oracle to locate pains in the body.

So, here's a "Little" Insight of some of the back story of the Indians that have set foot on Alcatraz and why they were there. Now its time to dive into this a little bit deeper.

At Second Glance: Alcatraz is More than a Prison

As you read before, the Indian tribes in the area used Alcatraz before it was occupied by the "White Man". Alcatraz was considered to be a sacred/cursed location. This is one of the more important pieces you will see on the thread so pay attention. Here we Go:

Diamond Island: Alcatraz

Excerpt from the book

"Voices From the Earth"

Grandfather lived at Atwam, 100 miles east of Redding, California, in a little shack out on the flat land. His house was old and crooked just like in a fairy tale. His belongings were few and they, too, were old and worn. I always wanted to know his age and often asked some oft the older of our people if they could recall when Grandfather was born. After silences that sometimes seemed more that a year, they always shook their silver-gray heads and answered: “I dunno. He was old and wrinkled with white hair for as long as I can remember. Since I was just a child.” He must have been born between 1850 and 1870.

Thanksgiving weekend, 1989. It is this time of the year when I think about Grandfather and his ordeal. I keep promising myself that I will write his story down because it is time to give the island of Alcatraz a proper identity and a “real” history. It is easy for modern people to think that the history of Alcatraz began when a foreign ship sailed into the bay and a stranger named Don Juan Manuel de Ayala observed the “rock” and recorded “ Alcatraz” in a log book in 1775. That episode, that sailing and that recording was only moments ago.

Grandfather said that long ago the Sacramento Valley was a huge freshwater lake, that it was “as long as the land” (from the northern part of California to the southern), and that a great shaking of an angry spirit within the earth caused part of the coastal range to crumble into the outer-ocean. When the huge lake finally drained and the waves from the earthquake finally settled, there was the San Francisco Bay, and there, in isolation and containing a “truth,” was Diamond Island ( Alcatraz). … The old person in the old house under the old moon began to tell the story of his escape from “the rock” long ago. He gathered himself together and reached back into a painful past. The silence was long and I thought that he might be crying silently. Then, with a quiver in his voice, he started telling the story that he wanted me to know.

“ Alcatraz Island. Where the Pit River runs into the sea is where I was born, long ago. Alcatraz, that’s the white man’s name for it. To our people, in our legends, we always knew it as Allisti Ti-tanin-miji [Rock Rainbow], Diamond Island. In our legends, that’s where the Mouse Brothers, the twins, were told to go when they searched for a healing treasure for our troubled people long, long ago. They were to go search at the end of It A-juma [ Pit River]. They found it. They brought it back. But it is lost now. It is said, the ‘diamond’ was to bring goodness to all our people, everywhere.” In one of the many raids upon our people of the Pit River country, his pregnant mother was taken captive and forced, with other Indians, to make the long and painful march to Alcatraz in the winter. At that same time, the military was “sweeping” California. Some of our people were “removed” to the Round Valley Reservation at Covelo; others were taken east by train in open cattle cars during the winter to Quapa, Oklahoma. Still others were taken out into the ocean at Eureka and thrown overboard into icy waters.

Grandfather said, “I was very small, too small to remember, but my grandmother remembered it all. The guards allowed us to swim around the rock. Every day, my mother swam. Every day, the people swam. We were not just swimming. We were gaining strength. We were learning the currents. We had to get home.

“When it was time, we were ready. We left at darkness. Grandmother said that I was a baby and rode my mother’s back, clinging as she swam from Alcatraz to solid ground in night. My Grandmother remembered that I pulled so hard holding on that I broke my mother’s necklace. It is still there in the water…somewhere.” Quivering with emotion, he hesitated. He trembled. “I don not remember if I was scared,” Grandfather said, crooked, thick fingers rubbing a creased and wrinkled chin covered with white stubble. “I must have been.” When those old, cloudy eyes dripped tears down a leathery, crevassed face, and long silences were between his sentences, often I trembled too. He softly spoke of his memory.

“There was not real diamonds on the island. At least I don’t think so. I always thought the diamonds were not diamonds but some kind of understanding, some kind of good thought—or something.

“When first I heard about the ‘diamond,’ I thought it might be a story of how we escaped. But after I heard that story so many times, I don’t think so. I think there was a truth there that the Mouse Brothers were instructed to get and bring back long ago to help our people. I don’t think that I know where that truth is now. Where can it be? It must be deep inside Axo-Yet [Mount Shasta] or Sa Titt [ Medicine Lake]. It hides from our people. The truth hides from us. It must not like us. It denies us.”

It seems incredible that there was such an escape from Alcatraz. Through American propaganda I have been trained to believe that it was impossible to escape from that isolated rock because of the currents and because of the freezing temperature as the powerful ocean and the surging rivers merged in chaos. I was convinced—until I heard Grandfather’s story and until I realized that he dwelled within a different “time,” a different “element.” He dwelled within a spirituality of a natural source. In his world, I was only a foreign infant. It is true today that when I talk with the old people I feel like nilladuwi (a white man). I feel like some domesticated creature addressing original royalty—knowing that the old ones were pure savage, born into the wild, free.

In his calm manner, Grandfather proceeded, “We wandered for many nights. We hid during the day. It is said that we had to go south for three nights before we could turn north… There is a small island of mountains in the great valley [sutter Buttes]. When we reached that place one of the young men climbed the highest peak. He was brave. We were all brave…We waited a long, long time. Then we heard: ‘Axo-Yet! Axo-Yet! To-ho-ja-toki! To-ho-ja-toki Tanjan’ [ Mount Shasta! Mount Shasta! North direction!] Our hearts were happy. We were close to home. My mother squeezed me to her. We cried. I know we cried. I was there. So was my mother and grandmother.” Grandfather has been within the earth for many snows now. The volumes of knowledge that were buried with him are lost to my generation, a generation that needs original knowledge now more than ever, if we are to survive as a distinct and autonomous people.

Perhaps a generation approaching will be more aware, more excited with tradition and custom and less satisfied to being off balance somewhere between the world of the “white man” and the world of the “Indian,” and will seek this knowledge… Perhaps the approaching generation will seek and locate Allisti Ti-tanin-miji within the mountains. Possibly that generation will reveal many truths to this world society that is immense and confused in its immensity. An old chief of the Pit River country, “Charlie Buck,” said often: “Truth. It is truth that will set us free.” Along with Grandfather, I think that it was a “truth” that the Mouse Brothers brought to our land from Diamond Island long ago. A truth that needs to be understood, appreciated, and acknowledged. A truth that needs desperately to be found and known for its value.

The Third Times the Charm : The Truth Shall Set You Free

Based off of what you have read, its safe to assume that you may have made a few connections, well I'm not done. I am now going to talk about the Hopi Tribe. The Hopi play a huge part into this story, much larger than what we actually have seen or expected.

The Hopi as you read earlier had the largest population of Indians at one time incarcerated at Alcatraz. With that said, I will continue.

The Hopi are a federally recognized tribe of Native American people, who primarily live on the 2,531.773 sq mi (6,557.26 km2) Hopi Reservation in northeastern Arizona. As of 2010, there were 18,327 Hopi people in the United States, according to the 2010 census. The Hopi language is one of the 30 of the Uto-Aztecan language family.

The Hopi Reservation is entirely surrounded by the much larger Navajo Reservation. The two nations used to share the Navajo-Hopi Joint Use Area, but this was a source of conflict. The partition of this area, commonly known as Big Mountain, by Acts of Congress in 1974 and 1996, has also resulted in long-term controversy.

The Hopi are one of many Native American cultures in the Southwestern United States. When first encountered by the Spanish in the 16th century, these cultures were referred to as pueblo people because they lived in villages (pueblos in the Spanish language). The Hopi are believed to have been descended from the Ancient Pueblo Peoples (Anasazi) who constructed large apartment-house complexes in northeastern Arizona and northwestern New Mexico. They lived along the Mogollon Rim, especially from the 1100s through the 1300s AD, when they abandoned their large villages. No researchers have been able to determine the reason, although it is likely that a drying of water sources would have forced the people away.

The End is Near! : Hopi Prophecies

These are the Hopi Prophecies, I will make comments in "Green" followed by the red highlighted material as we go through to make it apparent in the Zombie Story line.

The end of all Hopi ceremonialism will come when a "Kachina" removes his mask during a dance in the plaza before uninitiated children [the general public]. "Rictofen shows his true face, {Plaza} as in the Moons Pyramid (MDP)" For a while there will be no more ceremonies, no more faith. Then Oraibi will be rejuvenated with its faith and ceremonies, marking the start of a new cycle of Hopi life.

World War III will be started by those peoples who first revealed the light (the divine wisdom or intelligence) "The Discovery of the MDP" in the other old countries (India, China, Islamic Nations, Africa.)

The United States will be destroyed, land and people, by atomic bombs and radioactivity."Moon Nukes" Only the Hopis and their homeland will be preserved as an oasis to which refugees will flee. Bomb shelters are a fallacy. "It is only materialistic people who seek to make shelters. Those who are at peace in their hearts already are in the great shelter of life. There is no shelter for evil. Those who take no part in the making of world division by ideology are ready to resume life in another world, be they Black, White, Red, or Yellow race. They are all one, brothers.""They all become united as One, Zombies"

The war will be "a spiritual conflict with material matters. Material matters will be destroyed by spiritual beings who will remain to create one world and one nation under one power, that of the Creator.""115 is the material matter with the spiritual powers".

That time is not far off. It will come when the Saquasohuh (Blue Star) Kachina dances in the plaza and removes his mask. He represents a blue star, far off and yet invisible, which will make its appearance soon."Richtofen dancing in the MDP, made his appearance with his "Blue" light." The time is foretold by a song sung during the Wuwuchim ceremony. It was sung in 1914 just before World War I, and again in 1940 before World War II, describing the disunity, corruption, and hatred contaminating Hopi rituals, which were followed by the same evils spreading over the world. This same song was sung in 1961 during the Wuwuchim ceremony.

The Emergence to the future Fifth World has begun. It is being made by the humble people of little nations, tribes, and racial minorities. "You can read this in the earth itself. Plant forms from previous worlds are beginning to spring up as seeds [as described in SW-II, Effects and Coming Events # 1]. This could start a new study of botany if people were wise enough to read them. The same kinds of seeds are being planted in the sky as stars. The same kinds of seeds are being planted in our hearts. All these are the same, depending how you look at them. That is what makes the Emergence to the next, Fifth World.

"These comprise the nine most important prophecies of the Hopis, connected with the creation of the nine worlds: the three previous worlds on which we lived, the present Fourth World, the three future worlds we have yet to experience, and the world of Taiowa, the Creator, and his nephew, Sotuknang."

The Hopi and others who were saved from the Great Flood made a sacred covenant with the Great Spirit never to turn away from him. He made a set of sacred stone tablets, called Tiponi, into which he breathed his teachings, prophecies, and warnings. Before the Great Spirit hid himself again, he placed before the leaders of the four different racial groups four different colors and sizes of corn; each was to choose which would be their food in this world. The Hopi waited until last and picked the smallest ear of corn. At this, the Great Spirit said:

"It is well done. You have obtained the real corn, for all the others are imitations in which are hidden seeds of different plants. You have shown me your intelligence; for this reason I will place in your hands these sacred stone tablets, Tiponi, symbol of power and authority over all land and life to guard, protect, and hold in trust for me until I shall return to you in a later day, for I am the First and I am the Last."

The Great Chieftain of the Bow Clan led the faithful ones to this new land, but he fell into evil ways. His two sons scolded him for his mistake, and after he died they assumed the responsibilities of leadership. Each brother was given a set of Tiponi, and both were instructed to carry them to a place to which the Great Spirit directed them. The elder brother [of the shining light] was told to go immediately to the east, toward the rising sun, and upon reaching his destination to start back immediately to look for his younger brother, who remained on Turtle Island [the Continental United States of America]. His mission was to help his younger brother to bring about the Purification Day, at which time all evildoers would be punished or destroyed, after which real peace, brotherhood, and everlasting life would be established. The elder brother would restore all land to his younger brother, from whom the Evil one among the white men had taken it. The elder brother [of the shining light] also would come to look for the Tiponi tablets and fulfill the mission given him by the Great Spirit.

The younger brother was instructed to travel throughout the land and mark his footsteps as he went about. Both brothers were told that a great white star would appear in the sky; when that happened, all people would know that the elder brother had reached his destination. Thereupon all people were to settle wherever they happened to be at that time, there to remain until the elder brother returned.

The Hopi settled in the area now known as Four Corners, where the state lines of Arizona, New Mexico, Utah and Colorado meet. They lived in humble simplicity and the land produced abundant crops. This area is the "heart" of Turtle Island [the U.S.] and of Mother Earth, and it is the microcosmic image of the macrocosm of the entire planet. Each Hopi clan perpetuates a unique ceremony, and the ceremonies together maintain the balance of natural forces of sunlight, rain and winds, and reaffirm the Hopi respect for all life and trust in the Great Spirit.

The Hopi were told that after a time White Men would come and take their land and try to lead the Hopi into evil ways. But in spite of all the pressures against them, the Hopi were told they must hold to their ancient religion and their land, though always without violence. If they succeeded, they were promised that their people and their land would be a center from which the True Spirit would be reawakened.

It is said that after many years the elder brother might change the color of his skin, but his hair will remain black. He will have the ability to write, and he will be the only person able to read the Tiponi. When he returns to find his younger brother, the Tiponi will be placed side by side to show all the world that they are true brothers. Then great judgment will take place, for the elder will help the younger brother to obtain real justice for all Indian brothers who have been cruelly mistreated by the white man since he came to Turtle Island.

The transformed elder brother, the True White Brother, will wear a red cloak or a red cap, similar to the pattern on the back of a horned toad. He will bring no religion but his own, and will bring with him the Tiponi tablets. He will be all-powerful; none will be able to stand against him. He will come swiftly, and in one day gain control of this entire continent. It is said, "If he comes from the East, the destruction will not be so bad. But if he comes from the West, do not get up on your housetops to see because he will have no mercy."

The True White Brother will bring with him two great, intelligent and powerful helpers, one of whom will have a sign of a swastika (a masculine symbol of purity), and the sign of the sun. The second great helper will have the sign of a celtic cross with red lines (representing female life blood) between the arms of the cross.

When the Great Purification is near, these helpers will shake the earth first for a short time in preparation. After they shake the earth two times more, they will be joined by the True White Brother, who will become one with them and bring the Purification Day to the world. All three will help the "younger brother" (the Hopi and other pure-hearted people) to make a better world. In the prophecies, the two helpers are designated by the Hopi word for "population," as if they were large groups of people.

The Hopi were warned that if these three great beings failed, terrible evil would befall the world and great numbers of people would be killed. However, it was said that they would succeed if enough Hopi remained true to the ancient spirit of their people. The True White Brother and his helpers will show the people of earth a great new life plan that will lead to everlasting life. The earth will become new and beautiful again, with an abundance of life and food. Those who are saved will share everything equally. All races will intermarry and speak one tongue and be a family.

Hopi prophecy states that World War III will be started by the people who first received the Light -- China, Palestine, India and Africa. When the war comes, the United States will be destroyed by "gourds of ashes" which will fall to the ground, boiling the rivers and burning the earth, where no grass will grow for many years, and causing a disease that no medicine can cure. This can only mean nuclear or atomic bombs; no other weapon causes such effects. Bomb shelters will be useless, for "Those who are at peace in their hearts already are in the Great Shelter of Life. There is no shelter for evil. When the Saquahuh (blue Star) Kachina dances in the plaza and removes his mask, the time of the great trial will be here." The Hopi believe that only they will be saved.

The Hopi also have prophesied that "Turtle Island could turn over two or three times and the oceans could join hands and meet the sky." This seems to be a prophecy of a "pole shift" -- a flipping, of the planet on its axis. The Hopi call this imminent condition -- and that of society today -- "Koyaanisqatsi", which means "world out of balance...a state of life that calls for another way. "

The following extraordinary Hopi prophecy was first published in a mimeographed manuscript that circulated among several Methodist and Presbyterian churches in 1959. Some of the prophecies were published in 1963 by Frank Waters in The Book of the Hopi. The account begins by describing how, while driving along a desert highway one hot day in the summer of 1958, a minister named David Young stopped to offer a ride to an Indian elder, who accepted with a nod. After riding in silence for several minutes, the Indian said:

"I am White Feather, a Hopi of the ancient Bear Clan. In my long life I have traveled through this land, seeking out my brothers, and learning from them many things full of wisdom. I have followed the sacred paths of my people, who inhabit the forests and many lakes in the east, the land of ice and long nights in the north, and the places of holy altars of stone built many years ago by my brothers' fathers in the south. From all these I have heard the stories of the past, and the prophecies of the future. Today, many of the prophecies have turned to stories, and few are left -- the past grows longer, and the future grows shorter.

"And now White Feather is dying. His sons have all joined his ancestors, and soon he too shall be with them. But there is no one left, no one to recite and pass on the ancient wisdom. My people have tired of the old ways -- the great ceremonies that tell of our origins, of our emergence into the Fourth World, are almost all abandoned, forgotten, yet even this has been foretold. The time grows short.

"My people await Pahana, the lost White Brother, [from the stars] as do all our brothers in the land. He will not be like the white men we know now, who are cruel and greedy. we were told of their coming long ago. But still we await Pahana.

"He will bring with him the symbols, and the missing piece of that sacred tablet now kept by the elders, given to him when he left, that shall identify him as our True White Brother.

"The Fourth World shall end soon, and the Fifth World will begin. This the elders everywhere know. The Signs over many years have been fulfilled, and so few are left.

"This is the First Sign: We are told of the coming of the white-skinned men, like Pahana, but not living like Pahana men who took the land that was not theirs. And men who struck their enemies with thunder.

"This is the Second Sign: Our lands will see the coming of spinning wheels filled with voices. In his youth, my father saw this prophecy come true with his eyes -- the white men bringing their families in wagons across the prairies."

"This is the Third Sign: A strange beast like a buffalo but with great long horns, will overrun the land in large numbers. These White Feather saw with his eyes -- the coming of the white men's cattle."

"This is the Fourth Sign: The land will be crossed by snakes of iron."

"This is the Fifth Sign: The land shall be criss-crossed by a giant spider's web."

"This is the Sixth sign: The land shall be criss-crossed with rivers of stone that make pictures in the sun."

"This is the Seventh Sign: You will hear of the sea turning black, and many living things dying because of it."

"This is the Eight Sign: You will see many youth, who wear their hair long like my people, come and join the tribal nations, to learn their ways and wisdom.

"And this is the Ninth and Last Sign: You will hear of a dwelling-place in the heavens, above the earth, that shall fall with a great crash. It will appear as a blue star. Very soon after this, the ceremonies of my people will cease.

"These are the Signs that great destruction is coming. The world shall rock to and fro. The white man will battle against other people in other lands -- with those who possessed the first light of wisdom. There will be many columns of smoke and fire such as White Feather has seen the white man make in the deserts not far from here. Only those which come will cause disease and a great dying. Many of my people, understanding the prophecies, shall be safe. Those who stay and live in the places of my people also shall be safe. Then there will be much to rebuild. And soon -- very soon afterward -- Pahana will return. He shall bring with him the dawn of the Fifth World. He shall plant the seeds of his wisdom in their hearts. Even now the seeds are being planted. These shall smooth the way to the Emergence into the Fifth World.

"But White Feather shall not see it. I am old and dying. You -- perhaps will see it. In time, in time..."

The old Indian fell silent. They had arrived at his destination, and Reverend David Young stopped to let him out of the car. They never met again. Reverend Young died in 1976, so he did not live to see the further fulfillment of this remarkable prophecy.

The signs are interpreted as follows: The First Sign is of guns. The Second Sign is of the pioneers' covered wagons. The Third Sign is of longhorn cattle. The Fourth Sign describes the railroad tracks. The Fifth Sign is a clear image of our electric power and telephone lines. The Sixth Sign describes concrete highways and their mirage-producing effects. The Seventh Sign foretells of oil spills in the ocean. The Eighth Sign clearly indicates the "Hippy Movement" of the 1960s. The Ninth Sign was the U.S. Space Station Skylab, which fell to Earth in 1979. According to Australian eye-witnesses, it appeared to be burning blue.

Another Hopi prophecy warns that nothing should be brought back from the Moon -- obviously anticipating the Apollo 11 mission that returned with samples of lunar basalt. It this was done, the Hopi warned, the balance of natural and universal laws and forces would be disturbed, resulting in earthquakes, severe changes in weather patterns, and social unrest. All these things are happening today, though of course not necessarily because of Moon rocks.

The Hopi also predicted that when the "heart" of the Hopi land trust is dug up, great disturbances will develop in the balance of nature, for the Hopi holy land is the microcosmic image of the entire planet; any violations of nature in the Four Corners region will be reflected and amplified all over the Earth.

In 1959, a six-man delegation of traditional Hopi leaders led by the late spiritual leader, Dan Katchongva, traveled to the United Nations Building in New York to fulfill a sacred mission in accordance with ancient Hopi instructions. Because of their prophetic knowledge, the Hopi leaders felt it was time to go east to the edge of their motherland, where "a house of mica" [The United Nations building] would stand at this time, where Great Leaders from many lands would be gathered to help any people who are in trouble."

They were to go when the motherland of the Hopi and other Indian brothers were about to be taken away from them and their way of life was in danger of being completely destroyed by evil ones among the White Men and by some other Indian brothers who were influenced by the White Race. This is a clear and present danger: the betrayal of Indian-U.S.A. treaties, land sales, and coal and uranium mining are destroying the Hopi land and its people -- and all other peoples and lands, in eventual effect...

According to prophecy, at least one, two or three leaders or nations would hear and understand the Hopi warnings, as "It is told that they too should know these ancient instructions". Upon hearing the message of the Hopi, they would act immediately to correct many wrongs being done to the chosen race -- the Red Man who was granted permission to hold in trust all land and life for the Great Spirit. This prophecy would seem to have failed. Hopi prophecy also declares that the doors of the "Glass House" would be closed to them. This was the case at first, though they have delivered their message to the United Nations Assembly since then:

"When the Great Leaders in the Glass House refuse to open the door to you when you stand before it that day, [Repeated, again in 1993] do not be discouraged or turn about on the path you walk, but take courage, determination, and be of great rejoicing in your hearts, for on that day the White Race who are on your land with you have cut themselves from you and thereon lead themselves to the Greatest Punishment at the Day of Purification. Many shall be destroyed for their sins and evil ways. The Great Spirit has decreed it and no one can stop it, change it, or add anything to it. It shall be fulfilled!"

On August 7, 1970, a spectacular UFO sighting was witnessed by dozens of people and photographed by Chuck Roberts of the Prescott (Arizona)"Courier". This sighting occurred after a "UFO calling" by Paul Solem and several Hopi Indians. This sighting was interpreted by some Hopis as being a partial fulfillment of a certain Hopi prophecy given by the Great Spirit Maasau and inscribed on Second Mesa, warning of the coming of Purification Day, when the true Hopi will be flown to other planets in "ships without wings."

Hopi prophecy also tells us that there will be a mass migration of Indians northward from Mexico and Central and South America. The migration will be led by a 130-year old Indian named Etchata Etchana. The movement will come after the huge fire and explosion that will herald the advent of the True White Brother.

According to Hopi belief, the survivors of the Great Deluge thousands of years ago split up into four groups that moved north, south, east and west. Only one group completed their journey -- to the North Pole and back -- under the guidance of a brilliant "star" in which the Great Spirit Maasau traveled. When he landed, he drew a petroglyph on Second Mesa, showing a maiden (with the traditional "butterfly" hair arrangement) riding in a wingless, dome-shaped craft. The petroglyph signified the coming Day of Purification when the true Hopi will fly to other planets in "ships without wings."

The prophecy also warns that there will be three divisions among the Hopi The first division was in 1906 between the Traditionalists and the Modernists. The Traditionalists were forced to leave Oraibi and move to Hotevilla. The second division took place in the wake of the spectacular appearance of UFOs in August, 1970.

PROPHECY ROCK

Drawing Prophecy Rock

Near Oraibi, Arizona, there is a petroglyph known as Prophecy Rock which symbolizes many Hopi prophecies. Its interpretation is:

The large human figure on the left is the Great Spirit. The bow in his left hand represents his instructions to the Hopi to lay down their weapons. The vertical line to the right of the Great Spirit is a time scale in thousands of years. The point at which the great Spirit touches the line is the time of his return.

The "life path" established by the Great Spirit divides into the lower, narrow path of continuous Life in harmony with nature and the wide upper road of white man's scientific achievements. The bar between the paths, above the cross, is the coming of white men; the Cross is that of Christianity. The circle below the cross represents the continuous Path of Life.

The four small human figures on the upper road represent, on one level, the past three worlds and the present; on another level, the figures indicate that some of the Hopi will travel the white man's path, having been seduced by its glamour.

The two circles on the lower Path of Life are the "great shaking of the earth" (World Wars One and Two). The swastika in the sun and the Celtic cross represent the two helpers of Pahana, the True White Brother.

The short line that returns to the straight Path of Life is the last chance for people to turn back to nature before the upper road disintegrates and dissipates. The small circle above the Path of Life, after the last chance, is the Great Purification, after which corn will grow in abundance again when the Great Spirit returns. And the Path of Life continues forever...

The Hopi shield in the lower right corner symbolizes the Earth and the Four-Corners area where the Hopi have been reserved. The arms of the cross also represent the four directions in which they migrated according to the instructions of the Great Spirit.

The dots represent the four colors of Hopi corn, and the four racial colors of humanity.

So, basically what we have here, is a completely coincidental mess that could have to do with the story. You decide.

Time for my theories.

Indians knew about a possible MDP located on Earth, it may of had an angry "Spirit" or tribesman located inside reeking havoc on the "White Man" who destroyed so many Native American lives. It may have even been one of the Underworld "Gods" that they have spoke of. The Mayan death god was mentioned before on a bubble gum wrapper on Nuketown. Interesting fact, the Hopi Indians had "Gods" very, very similar to the accounts of the Mayan Gods. Coincidence?

Since Alcatraz had a strong Native American influence, it may have been possible for the Indians or specifically a few to reek Havoc in the prison. Full power of the MDP will allow you to manipulate the world how ever you like, so whoever is in there has a strong spiritual connection. Indians had that strong bond between, human and Earth.

As for the Hopi Prophecy, it almost clearly explains the world of zombies in a very symbolic and metaphorical way. Richtofen may have visited the Hopi long in the past while experimenting on Teleportation, this is where the Hopi have the Swastika and the Iron Cross. It also explains him saying that he'll return. It says that he will bring two others. Maxis, and his other fell through. Richtofen is the True White Brother from the East that will bring great destruction and purification to the world, but allow the Hopi to survive. That's up to you to decide.

I have come up with more theories based off of the current state of the zombies and the prison since the release of Uprising. Here's the post.

In case you were wondering about the how the Hopi relates to the Aztec, here you go.

The Hopi Nation of the American Southwest and the Aztecs came from the same roots, the Ancestral Puebloans, or Anasazi, who had been centered mostly on the Colorado Plateau in southern Utah, Nevada and Colorado, and northern Arizona and New Mexico, from about 1200 B.C.E., during the Basketmaker II era. They migrated to Mexico in the 12th and 13th centuries and are thought to have become the Aztecs there.
