A question for Gordon Cramer

Gordon, I know you are reading here as I do your blog .. and talking about methods, as you have done below, could you describe what ‘method’ you used to expose micro-writing in the code, remembering all you had to work with was a photo of an inked up photo of a ‘faintly pencilled code’ which was only made clearly visible for DS Leane with the assistance of a ‘large magnifying glass’. The book itself was never in your possession.

I’ve asked this question of you before but you didn’t respond then, perhaps you might now.

_____________

The following has been taken from GC’s blog

It has always puzzled me how the various people in the Somerton Man blog space have never actually read and followed the methods that I have described. Over the years those methods have improved as better equipment and software became available with a corresponding improvement in the output.” (bold is mine)

It should be noted that the original unmarked photo of the faintly pencilled code has never been made available.

    A photo, of an inked up photo, of a faintly pencilled code

    Means anyone finding hidden messages in it is delusional

    Without the original unmarked photo of the code, looking for the proverbial needle in a haystack would be a better option.

  3. I have the feeling that any response this post might activate will be on GC’s blog.

    Anyone in for a liberal serving of PROJECT NEPA FALLOUTS courtesy of former CHuck Webb, SM supporter Nick Pelling of once prominant/Dominant (?) Cipher Mysteries. Has our mate Dingo Nick lost the plot, or what?

  5. Looks like Cramer is unable to respond, perhaps his new admin tech wingman might put his hand up, after all, I’m just asking him to describe the method he used, I’d like to read and follow it, just as he suggested.

    It’s not as if I want him to post his response here, just to put it up on his own site would be fine.

    • There appears to be only one conclusion why Cramer won’t respond – he can’t explain in clear terms what were the processes he used to expose the (alleged) micro-writing in the Rubaiyat code.

    Well you don’t have to be Epstein [sick] to figure out who Flash Gordon’s ‘Technical Expertise’ wingman, ‘We’ be…No not Pelling detractors Jo or Steve H., although name wise the latter comes close. Actually Bozo, you might recall when ‘We’ was me!

    • Meanwhile we are still waiting for the SA coroner to deliver his findings that were thought due in early 2024. I’m thinking things are crook in Rookwood.

    Note that dingo baiter Jo is back on the trail with her Charles Webb the cross dresser theory that proliferated amongst the believers for a while. She doesn’t seem to be withdrawing her latest claims of Dingo Nick Pelling being, in effect, a cowardly Traitor.

    Think it was Pelling and Jo that pushed the theory that Carl Webb was gay, presumption being based on his assumed friendship with likes of theatre performer Hickey Taylor and a popular post war alternate show group ‘The Kiwis’. For mine I can’t think of one scintilla of evidence suggesting any such thing, certainly not in the fellow’s little known lifestyle; same goes for our Somerton Man by his straight attire and contents of the suitcase (packed by Daphne & Orlando).

    • I think the basis for thinking him gay was the colourful dressing gown found in the suitcase –

    Hey fair go Bozo. Me dad was wearing one just like when he left us. Mother wanted him buried in it but as it transpired the lousy RSL would only put up for an el cheapo dead digger’s cremation. I got me mits on the dressing gown with its fancy whorl pattern on the sleeves, his almost new Casben swimmers plus his army flash Khaki dress safari uniform. Bloke was no ‘horses hoof’ let me assure you. I got an intriguing true story of what became of the black plastic cremation box with his??? ashes and the most uncanny outcome thereof, back of Bourke NSW on the Murray a decade or so thereafter, if anyone be interrsted that is?

    Then there was Ross William Miell of Karoonda SA who did get his record digitised. Ross was a mate of my dad, a brave soldier and veteran of campaigns in Greece, Crete and Tobruk. He was 2/3 Commando’s first casualty after arrival in PNG 2/2/43. No point to make but, have a look on NAA and see what a greattul country sent home to mum in Tailem Bend. If that’s all the Army could manage regarding personal effects of a dead digger, it’s a disgrace.
