Secret Service ‘Aware’ of Bizarre Video Messages to ‘Kill the President’

The Secret Service says that it is “aware” of a bizarre video circulating across the Internet that contains coded messages to kill the president and provides GPS coordinates to the White House.

While the Secret Service would not provide information or details about any potential investigation into the video and its creators, an official told the Washington Free Beaconthat it is familiar with the video and its contents.

The video [WARNING: This video contains graphic content], which has become the subject of much speculation in Internet forums and elsewhere across the web, depicts an anonymous hooded figure in medical garb worn by doctors during the bubonic plague. Cacophonous music plays over the video as the figure makes a series of gestures that have been determined to contain hidden messages.
