Good idea
The favorite guess -- based on the site's use of words such as 'story' and 'novel' (i.e., "That is why I have chosen to reveal my story and warning in such a novel way"), the enlarged first four letters of the word 'bookmark' (i.e., "Bookmark the appropriate site listed below"), and the instructions for visitors to "read between the lines" (i.e., "There are those who believe it is a hoax - but perhaps that is part of the plan - just read between the lines") -- was that the intent of the site was to generate publicity for a book of the conspiracy/thriller genre to be published next March.

I bet there's no such thing as "International Men's day.
And there's no sexism any more.
Really P*sses me off. Bl**dy women!

Why the hell has a secret faction built a SUPERSHIP on a man-made plateau in a mountain range high above sea level?

i have a good idea why the guy done it...
if you look the site goes back to www.cia.com.au. this is a hosting site, but has the name CIA, so he has decided to play around and trick people into thinking its the real CIA in australia (hence the reference to australia).
still, its an interestin read, we all know its fake (although i bet every american cyber grunger is going mentel)
brightened my day up, toi many faults to be belivable anbyway (like why does the ship have its name on the hull in times new roman, and it looks identical to his 'interpritation', and even on normal vessels the name is covered until its christened)

Now don't know a lot about photography, but...
Presumably the "holes" in the photographs were caused by the melting of the film negatives (heat, even though no light got in).
When you develop a film, you shine a light through the negative onto a positive. All the dark bits on the negative appear light on the positive, and vice versa - correct?
So surely a "hole" in the negative is going to look like a very bright spot, thus appear as a dark spot on the positive!!!
The "burns" on the photographs seems to be like a melted positive, rather than a negative!!!!
Sorry if that is not correct "photo speak", but hopefully you get my drift
Any proper photographers like to confirm this???
This is just a drawn out hoax, and with the effort being put into it, it will probably be some sad religious cult.
