There are EIGHTY THREE johnson_lo (strange Chinese powerpoint guy) emails in the Podesta Files. Why are we only looking at two or three of the same ones?

I've seen the Antarctica, Ferrari, Peony, and Wild Birds emails talked about a lot, but to my surprise there are TONS of these on Wikileaks, and many of them seem to contain powerpoints with images that might be stegged.

Here's some of the work I've done on one of these in the past and stegdetect is picking up a possible hit (haven't ruled out a false positive) of at least one image in the powerpoint: https://www.reddit.com/r/pizzagate/comments/5cg181/steganography_possible_communication_through/d9wclbj/?context=3

This might benefit from larger semantic analysis, or at the very least some further inquiry than we've given it. I find the johnson_lo emails very curious and I had no idea there were so many of them.

No thanks necessary, it's just the tip of the iceberg. No pun intended.

Organ theft.

Ive been looking into johnson lo for a while. Since first leaks. Roomie is fluent in chinese, though his traditional is not perfect.

If you have questions. Ask me.

The message is : Subject: 環遊世界的網站! (you can watch the whole world from this website) 2009-01-07 15:24 2016-10-27 johnson_lo@mail2000.com.tw

Here is a link to the message data:

I'm pretty sure that means “travel around the world website" or less literally 'global travel website' 環 means loop, to surround, to encircle. I'm not seeing any definition that means 'to watch' Plus it is paired with 遊

Have you seen this thread in /r/wikileaks with the cryptic poem?

Thanks

If you're curious, I did a hasty translation . Nothing very juicy, a fairly standard moral tale of how good deeds are rewarded and evil deeds are punished through the cycle of reincarnation, and that the world is full of evil. Maybe the fact that they believe in reincarnation is of interest, but I think the most important things given are a date and location of composition.

Perhaps someone can use statistical analysis to help the process?
