Andre gives great Clues!
MYSTERY: Who is APT28 (and others)?
END RESULT: In 2018, the US indicts five GRU Unit 26165 officers associated with APT28 for cyber operations (including close-access operations).
CLUES:
• Mitre Cyber Attack.
• A Threat Group has been attributed to Russia’s General Staff Main Intelligence Directorate GRU 85th Main Special Service Center military unit 26165 APT28. Some of these operations were conducted with the assistance of GRU Unit 74455, which is also referred to as Sandworm Team.
• APT28 reportedly compromised the Hillary Clinton campaign, the Democratic National Committee, and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee in 2016 in an attempt to interfere with the U.S. presidential election.
o Was the election compromised?
o And by whom truly? If compromised, was the compromise a false flag attack, designed to infuriate domestic support for a perceived enemy?
Due to the lack of integrity on the part of American politics and drum beats of war, this question must be asked.
• Was it an inside job?
• Have there been cyber-attacks on:
o The US Anti-Doping Agency,
o World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA),
o Nuclear weapons manufacturing and storage facilities,
o The Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW)
o The Spiez Swiss Chemicals Laboratory.
• Have there been occurrences regarding Oil pipelines, Derailed trains, wild forest fires, disrupted financial systems, food shortages, ports of entry (marine, rail)?
• The enemy within writing the rules.
o When there is not enemy, create one, even within the ranks.
• NATO expansionism; crossing red lines (year 2014).
• How much money did US pay Russia to ferry us astronauts into space?
• If Russia is such a threat, why support them financially?
• If Russia is such a threat, why did US rely on them to get astronauts into space between (years) at a cost of ($per seat)?
• Why did US import German Nazi’s to create a space industry-NASA?
• The War of 1782. The illusion of freedom.
Fourth of July? Independence from what, corporate rule? The invisible strings that keep society enslaved-monetarily, politically, legally, etc.MYSTERY: Lawfare as Warfare. Legal system as a weapon, against citizens.
END RESULTS: Distrust the system.
CLUES:

• Lawfare: Using and abusing legal-judicial-political system as weapon.
• When there is no enemy, create one; even within the ranks.
• Character assassination via department of injustice. They always use the system, which makes it systemic. Truly corrupted!
a. They label innocents as terrorist, felon, to ruin their social standing-it is communism.
b. Associating Hero with terrorist organization.
c. Loss of income adversely affecting credit.
d. Bankruptcy.
e. Tax problems, agents with guns.

• The unlimited power of corrupted authority.

Contracted to conduct false flag operations resulting in plausible deniability on the part of the government.
o Plausible Deniability: the ability of people, typically senior officials in a formal or informal chain of command, to deny knowledge of or responsibility for actions committed by or on behalf of members of their organizational hierarchy. -Wikipedia.MYSTERY: Perpetual Warfare or Space Race
END RESULTS:
• Future Wars in space, continuity to the war in heaven.
• Possible sequel to my horror THE PLANETARY PRINCE.
The war in heaven was very terrible and very real. While displaying none of the barbarities so characteristic of physical warfare on the immature worlds, this conflict was far more deadly; material life is in jeopardy in material combat, but the war in heaven was fought in terms of life eternal.

6) What I learned is…
• This script may be a sequel to my horror The Planetary Prince.
Types of Clues – Overt/Covert
Overt
• Obvious to the audience.
• Keeps audience engaged in solving the mystery.
• Evidence that shows up.
• Admissions from characters.
• Accusations.
• Putting together the logic.Covert
• Outside our awareness.
• Part of what makes the solution surprising.
• These clues are outside our awareness until the mystery is solved.
• Clues that show up before audience knows the mystery.
• Implied by action.
• Hidden.
• Background that later becomes foreground.
• Something that appears to be a clue for another mystery, but plays out in this one.
• Passing discussions.
• Things that have one meaning when first heard, but the meaning turns out to be different.
I want a combination of both Overt and Covert Clues.Selecting the Clues I keep
Objective:
At the end of each of these mysteries, the clues I use will cause the “surprising, yet inevitable” experience.
• I need a balance of Overt and Covert clues.
• Clues can cause mystery, Intrigue, and/or Suspense, but not confusion.
• Too many overt clues have audience solve the mystery before ready. Too many covert clues make the mystery so subtle that no one has any idea what is happening.Ultimate Objective:
The reveal is surprising, yet inevitable. I want audience to stay engaged in the mystery, and when they get to the reveal, be surprised, but then say, “I should have known!”
• Who gains from the outcome or lose of another?
• Mystery set up, is it a setup or just consequence of life. Sometimes shit happens and there is no conspiracy.
Purpose of this assignment is, the purpose of clues is to keep my audience engaged. With each clue, they become more encouraged to solve the mystery. Not trying to stump them, but I also do not want to make it too easy.
With clues, balance is important. The good news is that it is much easier to determine that balance in the Thriller Map than in an entire script.
Throughout my screenplay, I want the audience to try to solve mysteries that the Hero is up against. To do this, I create the mystery, then build in clues that keep audience engaged in that mystery. The clues sometimes lead audience in the right direction, but they can also mislead audience.Difference between a Clue and Reveal
It could be something that feels insignificant in the moment, but becomes more important later. Some clues can be part of multiple mysteries. Some mean one thing in the beginning and turn out to mean something different in the end.Clue:
• Anything that serves to guide or direct the audience toward the solution of a problem.
• Clues are part of keeping the audience engaged and on the edge of our seats.Reveal:
• A dramatic moment when audience uncovers some truth. That truth may be a clue for another mystery. But a reveal does not have to provide a clue to anything.How do Clues relate to the Mystery?
For each mystery, I am going to build a trail of clues that lead to the final Reveal for that Mystery. Sometimes, we get Clues before the Mystery is presented. Most of the clues will likely show up while the Hero (and audience) is searching for a solution.
Generally, it goes like this:
1. Cover-up presented as reality,
2. Mystery presented,
3. Clues that are covert or overt,
4. Final Reveal that solves Mystery.
I already have three of the four in my Thriller Map. Now my job is to create a trail of clues that leads audience to solve the mysteries.Process for generating Clues
1. Go to end of each mystery and look at the final reveal.
2. Make a list of every possible clue that could help the audience get that mystery.
a. Do a general brainstorm session,
b. Go to the events in my Thriller Map. What clues fit those events?
c. Does it work better with an Overt or Covert clue?
3. Decide which clues I will use.
4. Sequence the clues into a “clue trail” and build the clues into my Thriller Map.End Andre gives great Clues!
